They probably won't have to get Epstein to flip on Trump (thereby reducing his sentence.)

He's been charged with conspiracy, which means those unnamed employees in the indictment are part of a conspiracy.

They just haven't been charged yet. I bet the prosecutors are pushing them to flip -- and that they'll have a lot of useful information to share.

MN's don't have buddies. They only have people who are useful to them -- or not.

Somehow Trump considered both Epstein and Acosta to be useful to him.

And don't forget that a woman filed suit in 2016 alleging that Trump had raped her at Epstein's NY mansion in 2013. Her photo might be one of the hundreds they've found in that locked safe. We don't know what's in it yet.

Folks are doing a lot of speculating that there is a smoking gun that can be used against Trump in the Epstein case. And that's fine as long as folks keep in mind that it's just speculation without any hard evidence.
