[Conservative Post] A cache of internal FBI records, pried loose through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, has laid bare what had long been rumored but never formally confirmed: Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier and convicted sex offender, served as a federal informant well before his infamous 2007 plea agreement.
The documents — including a 2008 FBI memo dated September 9 — confirm that Epstein was actively providing information to the bureau under terms negotiated in conjunction with his controversial non-prosecution deal in Florida, according to a bombshell report from Radar. One entry plainly states: "Epstein has also provided information to the FBI as agreed upon." The memo goes further, noting that "no federal prosecution will occur in this matter as long as Epstein continues to uphold his agreement with the State of Florida."
That agreement, brokered by then-U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta, spared Epstein federal charges despite ample evidence of trafficking minors across state lines. Instead, Epstein pleaded guilty to state-level offenses and received a 13-month sentence that allowed him to leave jail for up to 12 hours a day, six days a week.
But these newly surfaced records indicate that Epstein’s cooperation with federal authorities may have begun long before 2007. "These are the smoking gun documents," said one source familiar with the case. "They show Epstein was an active source for the FBI way before his plea deal in 2007." Another intelligence official, speaking off record, described Epstein not merely as an asset but as "a puppet, informant, and spy for the FBI."
