We know that Epstein did hang with others such as Trump and Dershowitz. I wonder if they are expecting namely employees 1, 2, and 3 to sing like canaries. Who knows maybe Epstein will sing as well since he will most likely go to prison for the rest of his life. Trump is an idiot but even he isn't dumb enough to pardon a pedophile.

Wasn't Roy Moore an accused pedophile?

I think trump has no bar that is too low ..he possesses no perimeters; there are no moral or ethical codes to guide him. trump is a sociopath with no conscience & no morality. He will pardon whomever it pleases him to pardon, especially if he thinks it will help him in any way.

Trump supported whomever ran against Roy Moore in the primary. Then he did support Moore in the general election.

I disagree with you about pardoning Epstein. We are now entering the Presidential election cycle. Although he doesn't have much moral compass I'm telling you the people around him would not allow him to pardon Epstein. I also don't think Bill Barr is dumb enough to try to somehow stop it either. That Miami Herald piece of investigative journalism really made it a slammed dunk.

You should be right. The Rule of Law should be holding steady. But it sure seems like trump & his cohorts are above the Law whenever trump deems it expedient or necessary.

I think now they are going into re-election mode and this would not be helpful for them. Even some evangelicals would cringe at a pedophile pardon.

did combine, conspire, confederate, and agree together and with each other to commit an offense against the United States, to wit, sex trafficking of minors, in violation of title 18....

Employees 1 and 2 will sing if they know what's good for them.
