That usually happens when you know they have a metric shit ton of evidence that could destroy your nice cushy life, and they're able to make any deal they want with prosecutors. Especially when they've done it before.

...a metric shit ton of evidence that could destroy your nice cushy life...
But it didn't even happen, though.
To think some people will tell you privilege isn't real.
Don't forget, Mark Epstein, Jeffrey's brother said this in an email:
Ask him if Putin has photos of Trump blowing Bubba.
There's clearly some expectation that incriminating photos will end up in the hands of foreign governments.
I'm guessing there's a lot more profit in turning people into agents of foreign governments than there is in directly ruining him.
I'm not holding my breath but it's still possible. So far we've only seen what they've allowed us to see. There may well be worse things that come out eventually.
I don't think there's anything that could come out that would cause his supporters to change their minds at this point.
Which has got to have Maxwell sweating
Yeah something or someone else has a protecting interest there.
Gee.
Wonder why?
You mean Trump going down that escalator and noticing that there were people stupid enough to vote for him changed things? All of a sudden, Trump's skeletons in the closet meant more. He had no way forward if Epstein started talking.
It should have corrected itself with the file release, but Donnie already had too much power to force redactions.
Jeffrey Epstein died when Trump was president. Just saying.
Why didn't he have some "In case I die unexpectedly, release these files" instructions given to a lawyer?
He did, turns out the ones to release those files were convinced not to.
Maxwell has something set up as such, or she wouldn't be around right now. If I had to guess, I'd say Epstein's guy was Israeli intelligence connected, directly or indirectly, the president's fixers, et al, got to them, made a deal to give him up in exchange for extra fealty to Israel and their politicians and projects.
Tartaglione has "a self-confessed hatred of child sex offenders."
Errr...who, except "child sex offenders" (what's wrong with "child-rapist"?), doesn't?
Makes me seriously question the whole thing and the whole source.
i had a stroke reading this, but i agree
Interesting choice of words there.
oh hell nah 💀
so NOW can we hold Drumpf accountable?
America: best we can do is absolutely nothing
Nono, you've got to give Americans more credit as they did do something: they voted him into office again
sad, but unfortunately true :/
How though? It is not going to happen through the justice system, because he controls all of that.
i know :(
This former cop was moved out of his cell because he was shaking Epstein down for money, according to complaints Epstein made. They weren't friends by any stretch.
