Before the Island: The Real Origin of the Governments Jeffrey Epstein Failure (Part 2) (7/15/25)


Listen Later

Chief Michael Reiter, the former Palm Beach Police Chief, openly condemned the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein as deeply corrupted by influence, wealth, and political pressure. After his department conducted a meticulous, months-long investigation that identified dozens of underage victims and built a compelling case for serious felony charges, Reiter was stunned to find that the State Attorney’s Office appeared unwilling to prosecute Epstein accordingly. Instead of pursuing justice, prosecutors seemed to downplay the severity of the crimes. Reiter described how meetings with State Attorney Barry Krischer became tense and evasive, with Epstein’s legal team allowed unusual access and influence. The result was a disturbing reluctance by local prosecutors to move forward with charges that fit the evidence—charges that would have led to significant prison time.


Reiter was so alarmed by what he saw behind the scenes that he took the extraordinary step of bypassing local prosecutors and turning the case over to the FBI. He then wrote a letter of apology to the victims and their families, expressing regret that the system had failed them. In his words and actions, Reiter made it clear that justice was being obstructed not because the evidence was lacking, but because Epstein had the money and legal firepower to warp the system in his favor. He would later describe the entire handling of the case—particularly the secretive non-prosecution agreement brokered by U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta—as “a complete breakdown of the justice process,” and the most disturbing failure he had witnessed in his entire career.
