File 93 - 40 Victims Were Never Told About the Plea Deal. That Was a Federal Crime.
Description
This episode provides the definitive account of the 2007-2008 prosecution that resulted in the infamous 'sweetheart deal,' examining every decision point where the outcome could have been different and identifying the specific individuals and pressures that shaped the result. The thesis is that the 2007-2008 prosecution represents the single most consequential failure in the Epstein case, as a successful federal prosecution at that point would have prevented over a decade of continued abuse.
