re: Andy McCarthy: Acosta’s sweetheart deal likely to foreclose Epstein’s SDNY prosecution

The issue is his plea deal said he was getting a non-prosecution agreement for any offenses against the U.S. up until 2007. If there are new victims after that date, then I think he could be prosecuted. They also supposedly found child porn in his home. They could prosecute on that. The issue would be what right did they have to search his home. If they got a warrant based on something covered by his agreement, I’d guess there is a good chance the search warrant is not valid so the finding of the child porn is not valid.

I hope there are charges that are clearly not covered by the agreement as I want him in jail. I just don’t want to see the government getting hinkie with things and trying to get a second bite at the apple on the same charges. The right to prosecute is a powerful right. We don’t want the government to be able to expand it even if it’s in pursuit of a vile person such as this.
