    Heh. Epstein 2007 plea deal granted non-prosecution to his co-conspirators. The prosecution literally said that everyone else involved is above the law.

        Alex Acosta became the US Secretary of Labor for the Lumpty Trumpty administration.

        On 25 August 2025 the House Oversight Committee issued a subpoena to Acosta requesting his testimony in the Epstein file. His name was not in the initial batch of subpoenas the committee sent out in August, which included Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton. His testimony was on September 19.[57] During his September 2025 testimony, Acosta said he did not recall any discussions of “potential financial crimes” in the Epstein investigation. In October 2025, Bloomberg News uncovered email correspondence that showed that Acosta’s office did discuss financial crimes and that Acosta was copied on correspondence about it. Records related to the financial crimes investigation were stored in a folder titled, “Money Laundering.”[26]

        Acosta announced that the Trump administration maintained a goal of one million new apprentices. Following Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest in July 2019, on sex trafficking charges, Alexander Acosta faced fresh calls to resign.[82] He resigned as Secretary of Labor effective July 19, 2019.[83] President Trump, standing next to Acosta, said he would have been willing to have him remain.[84][85] Trump said “This was him, not me” and called him a “great, great secretary”.[84][85]

    They will investigate and find one of two things:

    1. Epstein didn’t exist and it’s all a collective hallucination, stop talking about it.

    2. They did it and they are going to jail (their homes but they are unable to leave pretty please), getting bailed out in two to five years when all blows over. Some of them maybe will show up suicided.

    No hopes for the system that rewards the most sociopathic behavior or generational wealth to rise to the top.

    Trump says no. Trump says it’s okay for people like him to rape kids.

    That’s it. That’s what’s going on right now. Welcome to dystopia.

    Sorry to go all grammarnacionalesozcialistsk but it’s “No one is too wealthy/powerful for the law to apply to them” or “No one is wealthy/powerful enough to be above the law”. These people are supposed to have English degrees…

    “The law” is made up by them. Some of the factions play with “law & order”, some with “power”. The structure is the same. It’s built for the cattle
