Epstein Revelations You Won't Read in the New York Times

"Criminal defense lawyer David Schoen sent an informative email to Epstein, saying no one would ever take the Russia investigation seriously because special counsel Robert Mueller had selected a legal team that was a "murderer's row of the worst." Schoen's case-in-chief was Andrew Weissmann, frequent Times opinion writer (Title of actual column: "A Former Prosecutor on the ' Incredibly Strong Case ' Against Trump"). He appears so frequently on MS-NOW, he has a cot there."

"Weissmann, Schoen said, was known in the U.S. attorney's office as "the pathological liar," because he "literally would withhold exculpatory evidence throughout the case." When defense counsel complained, Weissmann waited until the guy "went to the bathroom or lunch [to] stick the documents under other [papers] on his table, and tell the judge the lawyer had it all along." He did this even in murder cases, which Schoen knew because "his rats have come to me to admit their role in it.""

"If true, this is a Brady violation-about as bad as it gets. The Times has frequently discussed the rule, saying it ought to be "obvious" to "prosecutors with any sense of fairness" that they have to "inform a defendant's lawyer of evidence that could be favorable to the defendant's case." The paper complains about the "near complete lack of punishment for prosecutors who flout the rule.""

David Schoen emailed Jeffrey Epstein alleging that special counsel Robert Mueller assembled a particularly aggressive legal team described as a "murderer's row," and singled out Andrew Weissmann. Schoen asserted that Weissmann was known within the U.S. attorney's office as "the pathological liar" and claimed Weissmann "literally would withhold exculpatory evidence throughout the case." Schoen described tactics of hiding documents when defense counsel stepped away and said informants later recanted, calling those actions Brady violations. The content also notes concerns about prosecutorial immunity and asserts that those tactics "ruined" major federal prosecutions.
