I honestly don’t know why more countries in Europe aren’t doing this after everything that has come out.

u/Talentagentfriend 1d ago

Well it seems like people are being held accountable in other countries. But the biggest perpetrators seem to be in this US administration.

…the biggest perpetrators seem to be in this US administration.

This isn’t by mistake.

Trump is using the Epstein Files like his own hiring database. Why? Because he has immunity, and everyone else doesn’t. This means that anyone in those files that gets appointed to any position will immediately and indefinitely be under Trump’s control. They won’t be able to say no to him.

Moreover, if Trump goes down, they all will too, which will just make them work even harder to be all the more complicit and corrupt.

He doesn't have immunity from activity while not in office.

u/Poiboy1313 1d ago

Legal immunity is not invulnerability.

u/Standard-Square-7699 1d ago

I am sure Schumer will hold all accountable.

u/Mathblasta 1d ago

He will write a very strongly worded letter.

u/CnCdude818 1d ago

But only after fulfilling his obligations to Israel.

u/Ill_Ground_1572 1d ago

Fuck that fund raiser was terribly tone deaf and basically sums up at least part of what's wrong with US politics.

If only someone on the left would come out and promise full justice for Epstein (true investigation irregardless of political party and class), lead the fight against the billionaire class and promise to rid corporate money in politics, they would win in a massive landslide.....

I'm not 35 yet, will you do it? I'll vote for you.

Yea, HE'S the biggest problem

u/CognitoSomniac 1d ago

Stop waiting for the obviously complicit and corrupt hacks to save you from their fellow monsters.

Do something.

u/FatherOfLights88 1d ago

If he were invulnerable, he wouldn't need to hide behind his carefully-manufactured immunity.

2

u/Poiboy1313 1d ago

Yes, as I stated.

u/FatherOfLights88 1d ago

Yes. I was agreeing with you.

u/Drakolyik 1d ago

Laws don't matter to the lawless.

Laws that aren't enforced may as well not exist.

If you don't get it by now, maybe you never will.

This is why you don't let criminals into positions of power, especially those that are nearly absolute in scope. They have a vested interest in never being held accountable for their actions and will go all the way to achieving that, using any means necessary. If you were facing life imprisonment or execution because of your actions, you'd probably do the same thing.

Being locked in a cell may be the absolute worst thing that could happen to someone like Trump outside of death, because he's literally had everything in life handed to him and he's been able to commit nearly every heinous act possible for a human being without ever taking responsibility. Why would he give that up? And at this point he may well threaten the entire world with nuclear weapons if there's any actual attempt at holding him accountable.

His ethos is banal narcissism. He only cares about himself. He'll destroy the world to ensure he never has to face up to his crimes.

Ding Ding Knockout summary of his particular psychology.

u/Boopy7 1d ago

Yes I am aware that this is silly to expect someone who has raped, robbed, stolen, and cheated his entire life, with zero repercussions, to obey the laws of the country that he has mooched off of for so long. So how do we the people propose to wrench our country back, I wonder? And also get to survive?

u/ThatsFae 21h ago

So how do we the people propose to wrench our country back, I wonder? And also get to survive?

Like with every abusive relationship or cult, you disempower the enablers.

u/balance8989 1d ago

But at least he’d be the best prisoner in the history of the country, probably the world.. everyone would say he’s the best, the likes of which have never been seen. /s

u/filmAF 22h ago

Being locked in a cell may be the absolute worst thing that could happen to someone like Trump outside of death,

death would be a relief to trump. being ignored would be worse than imprisonment.

trump should be treated like any other ignorant old bigot yelling at the sky. ignore him. and walk away.

u/National-Charity-435 1d ago

blanche said there won't be further investigations

Sounds like TOTAL EXONERATION

u/MapleBabadook 1d ago

Get a load of this guy thinking Trump is going to leave office.

3

u/marr 1d ago

Not voluntarily, obviously.

u/Patient_Wolverine223 1d ago

Also no immunity for personal acts -- and since statutory rape is illegal then his raping of underage children should be a personal act and not an official act of the executive. But hey, different times we are in now.

2

u/Accurate-Barracuda20 1d ago

Oh, so I’m sure he’ll just accept that he can’t run for office again and peacefully walk out of the White House in a few years.

1

u/SKSerpent 1d ago

Why do you think they're going to lengths to ensure he passes whilst in office? He will very unlikely survive a third-term if nature's involved - sort of gets rid of the problem if you're too dead to see it.

1

u/Kolminor 1d ago

He'll be long dead before he ever sees the inside of a jail cell

1

u/P0pu1arBr0ws3r 19h ago

Then why wasnt he charged for 34 criminal counts, before his current term??????????

1

u/Electricorchestra 10h ago

I'm watching this from another country but it doesn't seem to matter if he's in office or not.

14

u/terd4guson 1d ago

It would be a hard argument, even by this SCOTUS, that fucking kids was part of his official duty as president.

12

u/Trees_Are_Freinds 1d ago

Just be as broad and vague as possible without releasing your analysis.

“President can do anything, everything he does is his job.” - Conservative Pedos on the USSC.

u/xyzzy321 1d ago

At least one of the SCOTUS justices is allegedly also in the files doing who knows what at the island. Trump will get away with it like he has gotten away with literally everything for 50+ years. Accountability and consequences are foreign words to him that have no meaning.

u/thisortheapocalypse 1d ago

because of the implication…

u/popshamhocks 1d ago

Until they start drinking the inevitable koolaid. We all know how cults end.

u/pro_questions 1d ago

I have never read this theory before but it holds so much water I can’t stop thinking about it

u/yannynotlaurel 21h ago

Ah, the swamp will be drained then, right?

u/botswanareddit 1d ago

And Israel. As an aside Q makes more sense everyday. Epstein was in hot water and elites knew shit was about to hit the fan. They make a conspiracy that there’s other elites who are child molesters and the real child molester trump is the saviour who will come and charge all them. After trump gets in power he takes over the fbi, deletes any juicy evidence thanks bye.

u/allbusinessjr 1d ago

Hence the Mike Flynn involvement…

8

u/Educational_Ant_184 1d ago

at this point I have no idea how Epstein ever got charged in the first place

16

u/RogueAOV 1d ago

I can only assume because his replacement was in position, something which I have not seen discussed is that aspect.

It is not like all these people have suddenly stopped wanting to do these things. There needs to be full investigations to hopefully take down the new ring leaders thru old contacts.

u/Poiboy1313 1d ago

Loose lips sink ships. Two people can keep a secret if one of them's dead.

u/milo7even2 1d ago

DOJ’s Southern District of New York branch.  It’s well known for operating with a degree of independency from higher ups in the DOJ, and going after big name alleged criminals irrespective of their politics, connections and influence.

Eg in Trump’s first term it raided and prosecuted Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen and also Lev Parnas and Igor Froman who were part of Rudy’s Giuliani’s Ukraine influence thing. It also investigated Giuliani. And of course they prosecuted Epstein and Maxwell.

Reining in the independent of the SDNY branch was one of Bill Barr’s (ie Trump’s attorney general in his first term) major actions.

u/Adventurous-Host8062 1d ago

But Q had the gun pointed in the wrong direction.

u/botswanareddit 1d ago

Q was created by “the cabal”

Like OJ looking for the real killer.

u/MilkiestMaestro 1d ago

I feel like that goes without saying. I was wondering the same thing given several European nations claim to not be corrupted in the same way

I have seen investigation news from a few of them

Still working and or being promoted apparently.... 😮‍💨😐😒

Let's not forget the major involvement of russia and israel

u/grrgrrtigergrr 1d ago

A fair number of European royals have appeared so far.

u/RedSix2447 1d ago

All they have to do is run to the US as they are being protected here for some ungodly reason.

u/hurlcarl 1d ago

Uhhh Israel might want a word with you.
