Kind of "two birds with one stone". Epstein is out of the way and now they have "cause" to fire whoever they want from SDNY. I am surprised more people have't wondered about this. The first thing Epstein's attorney mentioned was "overzealous prosecutors demanding a man with no flight risk be jailed....". They are going to fire them even though they had nothing to do with his incarceration.
