After Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart signed off on the Biden administration’s illegal raid on Mar-a-Lago, conservatives flagged the former prosecutor’s work for Jeffrey Epstein.

Reinhart had begun setting up his legal practice while the Epstein plea deal was being negotiated and he went to work for Epstein the day after he left the U.S. Attorney’s office and approximately half a year after the dubious federal plea deal had been handed to Epstein.

A complaint filed by a lawyer for the victims to then U.S. Attorney Wifredo Ferrer, a Janet Reno protege out of the Clinton administration, claimed that, “within months after the non-prosecution agreement was signed”, Reinhart opened a criminal defense law office on the same floor as Epstein’s lead criminal defense lawyer that was located next door to Epstein’s ‘Florida Science Foundation’ which the sex offender used to bring in girls while on ‘work release’ from prison.

The letter charged that Reinhart’s work for Epstein involved “the exact same crimes and same evidence being reviewed by the U.S. Attorney’s office when he was employed there.”

But the media shot back that Reinhart was a “respected figure” and the former prosecutor claimed that he had not been involved in Epstein’s criminal case and had “never learned any confidential, non-public information about the Epstein matter”. However the complaint cited statements from the U.S. Attorney’s office that he had “learned confidential, non-public information about the Epstein matter” while working in the office and had “discussed the Epstein matter with another Assistant U.S. Attorney working on the Epstein matter.”

Reinhart told the Miami Herald that he didn’t represent Epstein, only Epstein’s employees, his pilot, and Sarah Kellen, Epstein’s ‘scheduler’, described as an ‘assistant’ to Ghislaine Maxwell, who allegedly kept the information of the girls being brought to Epstein, and Nadia Marcinkova, an Epstein associate who allegedly participated in sexual acts with at least one underage girl, and whom some have described as Epstein’s “sex slave.”.

Considering the nature of the ‘employees’, this wasn’t much of a defense. Kellen and Marcinkova had been listed as “unindicted co-conspirators” in the federal deal. A deposition in the Epstein Files of a woman whose name was redacted and was represented by Reinhart has him encouraging her to plead the Fifth to virtually any question about Epstein.

But it gets worse.

The release of the Epstein Files exposed a direct exchange between Epstein and Reinhart in which Epstein sent Reinhart an email asking him to find the probation officer of a “federal absconder”.Reinheart did not ask Epstein why he wanted to locate this particular woman.

Despite being well aware of Epstein’s history and legal troubles, Reinhart emailed the sex offender to say that “my inside source is waiting to hear back from knowledgeable people.”

Who was Reinhart’s “inside source”? The terminology implies that Reinhart wasn’t working through the conventional system, but relying on inside favors from people in the Justice Department. If the email is real, it also shows that Reinhart was actually working for Epstein directly and that he did not tell the truth when he claimed to only be representing his employees.

In one email to Reinhart and his lawyer, Epstein set out what appeared to be an argument for favorable release conditions including “BARRY LANNA ( NO VICTIMS)”. This was a reference to his two Palm Beach prosecutors, Barry Krischer, who had aggressively gone after Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter, while giving Epstein a pass, and Lanna Belohlavek.

In another email, Epstein mentioned that “the New York d.a. would like to talk to either barry or lanna to get their sense of the level of sex offender requirements.” The New York DA’s office under Cy Vance Jr, the son of a Carter administration figure, would shock the judge by illegally taking Epstein off the sex offender list.

The insistence that there were “no victims” was important. Any victims would push Epstein inescapably onto the sex offender list and destroy the comeback image he was working to cultivate. Some of the powerful men who would later associate with Epstein had repeated the argument that they believed that there were no victims and it was just a ‘prostitution’ issue.
