So what… I mean, nothing’s gonna happen. He’s been indicted how many times? And then went on to become president AGAIN! It’s a well known fact that he’s a rapist disgusting pedophile pig, a fucking criminal, a tax evasor… and? I’m almost sure that nothing will come of this. I’m sorry if I come off as cynical. It’s just disheartening to think that likely nothing will happen to him.

I wish what you said was actual cynicism. I see it as stating the truth.

I'm not holding my breath, but I wouldn't be surprised if this one is different. A large part of his base comes from Q-anon. That whole conspiracy was about political elites running pedophile rings. "Epstein didn't kill himself" is more unifying than any flag. His supporters that are just in it for the fascism won't care. But the Q-anon conspiracists thought he was the one to take all that down.
