    Bottom line: NOBODY will be arrested as a result of the Epstein Files, and if they do, they will never be convicted. The “Epstein Files” have been through so many hands, all of which are reviled by one side or the other, that the chain of custody is irretrievably broken. None of it is reliable, and no jury would convict based on any of it as the sole evidence.

    I hate the whole situation, and would love to incarcerate any of them, but as a juror, I could never trust any of the evidence.

        It’s been in the Biden administration hands, which MAGA doesn’t trust, and it’s been in MAGA hands, which nobody trusts. ALL of it is compromised, and I wouldn’t trust the validity of a single document from it as evidence strong enough to survive a courtroom challenge.

        As an internet commenter, I might accept it enough to make some nasty comments against PedoCons, but I would never rely on it to take away someone’s freedom, even if they are monsters.

        It’s okay, these MAGA Morons have all committed plenty of other crimes we can convict them for, if we can only show a little courage. A year in prison for corruption feels the same as a year for pedophilia, so it doesn’t really matter which crimes we convict them of, as long as we convict them of something, and they all offer a range of choices for indictments.
