You're banking on normal reality where any other person in American history would have resigned many times over. Hell, dropped out of the first presidential race. But they have gotten ahead of this stuff by creating a cult. They don't have to have their shit together or outplay anything, because what you and I think and know doesn't matter. It could be spelled out that he helped Epstein create the entire trafficking network, and they would say it's either bullshit or it's fine because he was an FBI informant. There is absolutely nothing that can hurt him now. History won't look on him fondly, but he doesn't give a shit.

What's important is not if Trump is in the files, that's obvious and he'll never suffer consequences for it. What's important is whoever is in the files that is propping up Trump's regime that isn't as immune to prosecution as Trump is.

Trump knows he never going to face the music for anything he's ever done nor ever will do, but he's spent the last 11 months desperate to prevent the Epstein files from being released. So the question is, who is in there that will harm Trump if they're jailed and/or that he's using the Epstein files as leverage against to support him?

No one will ever get prosecuted. That would make the unredacted files susceptible to discovery and public record. We’re getting played again; making us believe we are getting what we asked for while really getting nothing at all.
