Why can’t he pardon him after the election?

Could if he wanted to (had to cover up his own indiscretions/crimes).

As far as Bill goes, going to be really hard to take him down without exposing that practically everyone in power in the party knew and said/did nothing including Hillary and her supporters.

I could be wrong here but I believe its Trump can pardon Federal charges but can't state charges.

This is why Epstein is a much bigger problem for democrats than Trump. Hell, Trump’s actual relationship with Epstein seems attenuated from everything that I have seen. It certainly is nothing like the Clinton/Epstein connection.

lol you could have pointed out that although the FBI participated in the arrest it's currently being handled by SDNY and Trump can't pardon that (though he can apply immense political pressure if he had interest in it) but it's 100% a political prosecution just a matter of who wants what to figure out how this shakes out.

That there's a large contingent of voters that want accountability assures me it's one of the few things that won't come out of this.

Wouldn't be so sure about that. Either way, I hope Epstein cooperates and turns over all of his hidden camera footage.

I'm pretty exited about the Epstein arrest and hope they go hard on him. I'm fine if they go lighter only if he brings down a shit ton of creeps. Hopefully rich a powerful ones. I could careless which team they play for, because epstien likely has dirt on both. Whoever gets outed from whatever team, I'll be interested to see how that party reacts. While I wouldn't be that shocked with his money and power if he avoided shit again, I also think this has opportunity to be a watershed moment for America where some extremely rich and powerful, but also creepy fucks, get in some real trouble. And Acosta should be one of them.

xDaunt drooling at the prospect of shit happening to Clinton if the whole thing was not more of his hypocritical partisan bs, since he has demonstrated time and time again that he would keep defending Trump tooth and nail if we had a video of him raping 7 years old girls.

You know SDNY is run by a Trump appointee and a guy that worked for Deutsche Bank?

frankly that's just grotesque, untrue, and completely unacceptable on this form IMO. Gonna report the post, insane slander and completely unfounded. Your way off course pal.

and while i fully agree that it’s offensive, uncalled for, esssntially ban worthy, i’ll have to disagree that it’s unfounded. xDaunt wasted no time distancing Trump from Epstein despite Trump’s own claims to the opposite. clearly he must know something Trump doesn’t about their relationship.

it’s been true before and will continue to be true that defenders of Trump selectively decide when what he says is true or false in accordance with what they want to believe.

It is amazing how he has said so many "facts" that are not true that it leaves it open for supporters to believe what they want and think the other stuff is some sort of tactic. I just think he can't help himself and says what he thinks in the moment. I simply can't trust someone who states so many things as facts that are just not true.

Here is hoping Epstien goes full rat to protect himself from a life sentence and a shit ton of rich and powerful shit heads go down.

I'm not really sure where the Epstein saga is going to go, i'm sure hes gonna go away for a long time, but who or how they manage to get the others involved in it or partaking of it is gonna be a whale of a mess. Curious, does anyone know what Epstein really did to earn all his money, he just generally feels like a scumbag and in all the news articles i've read they don't really get into the inner workings of his financial empire.

This forum will get way spicier if you can allege someone excuses or condones rape. I’m interested to see how it plays out.
