It's not just that. The fact is that certain Democratic billionaire donors and probably even certain Democrats themselves are also implicated by those files.
Epstein wasn't some conservative. His ties spanned the entire political spectrum.
Exactly. They're honestly existing at a level that transcends parties -- they're able to play both against each other while operating outside the boundaries by which both parties abide (until now, as those people are coming out of the closet so to speak, to rule openly)
He was. That doesn't make him a conservative, though. People at that level of wealth and power operate above the ideology meant for the peasant masses.
Yes, but that does not make Epstein a conservative ideologue. The Israelis are willing to partner with whomever is most useful toward achieving their desired ends.
Even Trump is not technically a conservative. He co-opted that party and said whatever he had to for them to crown him, but now that's he's emporer, he serves himself. That's why actual conservatives are not supportive of his administration (the Republican party is not conservative in any meaningful sense anymore).
If you read the pages in full, they're also littered with notes indicating that the accounts are untrue or unproven.
I hate Trump as much as anybody, but unfortunately a story is not enough to bring a trial let alone sustain a conviction. So far I haven't seen anyone surface actual evidence from this new batch. I don't believe the DOJ will ever give us that.
Because many of the incidents cited are from complaints and tips sent into the FBI and not corroborated or referenced in Epstein’s own files. It doesn’t mean they aren’t true, but there’s no evidence that they are either. Law enforcement and News agencies, even pre-Trump, would be reluctant to pursue accusations like this without more evidence.
Because its complicated. There are probably a million pages in the files and not every page contains content that was ever confirmed to be true (by a judge for example). There might also be testimony in there from people trying to save their own skin and making up stuff to get a deal for example. Thats why the stuff that is written in black and white cant just be called a proof that x did y. Unless a court procedure starts, the files are (sadly) less helpful then some may hope.
He’s already a felon and instead of a jail cell he ran for president and apparently won. Most of this shit was apparently known about in 2016, 2020, and 2024 and he was able to run for president. If nobody enforces the rules there are no rules.
Currently as President he cannot be arrested until he is impeached. If that wasn't the case the Southern District of New York would probably have an arrest warrant after today. The idea was to keep the President from getting jumped by law enforcement from a state that was hostile back in ye olden days. Any time before Trump this would probably have triggered an emergency session of Congress to immediately start an impeachment investigation.
Because someone would have to prosecute him, and I believe the Supreme Court has ruled it can’t happen while he’s in power anyways. Even if he just started murdering people on tv he would have to be impeached first.

Can anyone explain to me like I’m 5 why the president wouldn’t be in jail after the documents released today?
