A couple of thoughts. First, if these are substantially the same charges as before, I'm not sure how the feds get around double jeopardy. Any thoughts from any prosecutors or criminal defense attorneys? Second, this won't look particularly good for either party. Epstein was a Dem political operative back in the day, so in terms of numbers, more Dems than Pubs could face unwelcome scrutiny from any Epstein revelations. Though because Epstein hasn't been active with the party in over a decade, I doubt many current high office holding Dems would be implicated. The 4 people who could really be damaged by Epstein information are Acosta, Trump, Dershowitz and Bill Clinton. Acosta was the Florida prosecutor who gave Epstein his sweetheart 13 month deal. OTOH, even if Acosta would have to resign, losing a Labor secretary isn't yuge. Dershowitz has been accused of rape by 1 of the young women who worked for or was associated with Epstein. Maybe this is the reason for his change in political sides over the last few years. And both Trump and Bubba have allegedly flown on the Lolita Express and have been to Sex Slave Island. Bubba's reputation could be completely trashed by Epstein revelations, though few of us here would care. OTOH, revelations of Trump being on the Lolita Express or attending soirees on Sex Slave Island probably won't harm his approval numbers at all, and Falwell Jr. and Franklin Graham will likely stand by their man.
