We are living in crazy times for sure, but is it possible that times are crazy enough for Trump to get out of this Epstein stuff by pardoning Maxwell?
The only insane theory I can come up with is that he'll get Maxwell to say he had nothing to do with Epstein in spite of all the photos, letters, videos etc. in exchange for a pardon.
My nightmare is that a convicted sex trafficker will go free, and we will all be told to move on, while being accused of having Trump derangement syndrome.

He says shocking things and gets away with it.

(459 posts)Epstein's family may have info that they will share (or not).
And what about the victims? Will they be so enraged that maybe they will come forward?

He will leave the White House much much richer than when he left.
The courts and congress will not touch him.
He will be fine.

Sounds nuts but I think the man believed it then and believes it now.
Why shouldn't he? Impeached twice, 37 felony counts, an adjudicated rapist, 30,000+ lies to the public and he's sitting in the WH for a second round.
He feels impervious, untouchable and unstoppable.
It's up to American citizens to prove him wrong. Otherwise, he'll bury us.
