Yesterday Andrew McCarthy posted an article at The National Review<\/a> about the Jeffrey Epstein case. Andrew McCarthy is the former Chief Assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of New York who led the terrorism prosecution against the \u201cBlind Sheikh\u201d (Omar Abdel Rahman) and eleven other jihadists for conducting a war of urban terrorism against the United States that included the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and a plot to bomb New York City landmarks. He served as a prosecutor for 20 years. He has testified before Congress as an expert on issues of constitutional law, counterterrorism, and law-enforcement.<\/p>\n

Below are some of his observations about the case against Jeffrey Epstein:<\/p>\n

On Monday, Geoffrey Berman, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that his office has now charged Epstein. While the SDNY indictment<\/a> may be new, Epstein\u2019s crimes are not. They are the same offenses from which Acosta agreed to spare Epstein from federal prosecution if he pled guilty to state prostitution charges \u2014 which Epstein proceeded to do, in reliance on Acosta\u2019s commitment. There is thus a very good chance, based on the Constitution\u2019s guarantee against double jeopardy, that the SDNY case against Epstein will be voided by the SD-Florida non-prosecution agreement (non-pros).<\/strong><\/p>\n
