Jeffrey Epstein Arrested
By 
Well, well, well, amazing what a prosecutor less incompetent and/or corrupt than Alex Acosta might be able to do:
More than a decade after receiving one of the most lenient sentences for a serial sex offender in U.S history, multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein has been arrested outside of New York, sources confirmed to the Miami Herald Saturday night.
Epstein was arrested at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey, according to one of the sources. Flight records show he had just flown to Teterboro from Paris on Saturday.
Around 5:30 p.m. Saturday, about a dozen federal agents broke down the door to Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse to execute search warrants, witnesses and sources said.
“We heard the loud banging and we walked over and saw all these FBI agents just pounding down the door,” a witness told the Herald.
Epstein, 66, is expected to be arraigned in federal court in New York on Monday on charges that he molested dozens of underage girls in New York and in Florida, the sources said. His arrest, first reported by the Daily Beast, comes nearly two weeks after the Justice Department announced that it would not throw out his 2008 non-prosecution agreement, even though a federal judge ruled it was illegal.

“That bail hearing will be critical because if they grant him bail, he has enough money that he will disappear and they will never get him,’’ a source in New York told the Herald.
Cash bail, let alone holding people without bail, should be relatively rare. But this is definitely a case where someone needs to be held before trial.
It also seems massively unlikely that the indictments will end with Epstein:

To pick a hypothetical example purely at random:
4. One thing worth contemplating is that Alan Dershowitz lobbied hard against the Miami Herald getting a pulitzer prize for this piece. https://t.co/z6vGcVLPqH— Jeet Heer (@HeerJeet) July 7, 2019
But think of how it would affect his social life!
