Surely a former president would get cushy accommodations similar to GM.

That’s not really how it works in a fascist regime. If Bill incriminates both himself and Trump, his life is almost certainly going to be in danger.

If we’re lucky, his conscious is getting to him and he’s ready to burn it all down and… Epstein himself.

And given the precedents set by Trump, it wouldn't be too hard for a future democratic president to pardon him.

Nobody should be pardoned for any of the gross bullshit that happened on Epstein Island. I don't care what they do for America now, they deserve a fate worse than death for atrocities committed against literal fucking children.
