To me it looks like the judge wants something to be seen. Wealthy-and-connected privilege? Maybe even these documents show how deep into the known names this hole runs? Without the ambiguity of “the only documented thing is a dinner”

But I’m not an expert on the issue and judges in general, so maybe I’m misinterpreting something

The Supreme Court will rule that by becoming a us president, a person gains absolution for all their crimes, and cannot be charged with any crimes while in office.

So, taking over the government by force and killing people who disagree with you is actually not a crime at the moment. Hurry up Joe!!!

I mean it really has been no secret at all that trump was close friends with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and at the very least was aware of what was going on for some time. More than likely he participated in some of the nefarious and weird ass crap going on at their properties and while that is certainly not proven, there sure is a lot of damning evidence (also his response when asked if he would release the Epstein files if elected a few weeks ago was hilarious lol). And people just simply don’t care. Like not even a little. At this point if it came out that trump was actually the one behind it all and he just had Epstein be the fall guy or something I still don’t think it would change anything at all.

If they had a video of him raping a 13 year old it wouldn’t matter to MAGAs.

If that Russian Trump piss tape does exist, the other people involved are almost certainly underage.

They could have multi-angle IMAX video of Trump cornholing a dozen toddlers and the MAGats would still think he was the second coming of Christ.

Unless she’s your slave concubine, then you’re fine. But you should free your own children.

Also, Sally Hemings was very likely the daughter of John Wayles, Jefferson’s father-in-law. Which makes Sally Hemings the half-sister of Jefferson’s, by then, dead wife.

She was also between 14 and 16 when Jefferson took her as a concubine.

the judge added that the state’s leniency in the case “been the subject of much anger and has at times diminished the public’s perception of the criminal justice system”.

Mmm. Yes.

Epstein took his own life in a Manhattan jail in 2019 while awaiting trial over federal sex-trafficking charges.

Odd how the BBC would just lie like that.
