Then why aren't numerous law enforcement agencies in the state of NY working overtime to unmask and mercilessly prosecute Epstein and his associates? Epstein committed crimes across many jurisdictions, many of them in solidly blue areas. And NY comes to mind. Even if Trump won't do anything at the federal level, and even if Republicans in Florida won't do anything, what about the Democrats in New York? We're talking about a class of people that have committed serious enough crimes to get life sentences in prison...in numerous separate jurisdictions. Any of the states his network operated in could nail his associates and clients to the wall.

AIUI, double jeopardy - if a state prosecutes for something, then after the court case is over the federal govt can't prosecute over it as you can't be sued on the exact same thing twice. And states don't have jurisdiction on most places outside their state.

IANAL
