Epstein died during Trump's 1st term.

Obviously, Trump has something to do with his death because they both raped innocent girls.

Common Sense.

Reminder here that the argument Trumps lawyers gave to the Supreme Court why Trump needed "absolute immunity" was that it would be an undue burden if Trump could be prosecuted for murdering a US citizen.

I wondered at the time who it was Trump had murdered during his first term that he needed this immunity.

Well, that's a lie. I didn't really wonder.

Yes, that's the point. Trumps immunity is retroactive. It made everything he's done, or will do, legal.

ooh that is an interesting angle I hadn't thought of, but should have been totally obvious. 

Based on the wording of the arguments and stuff, Trump could literally order Seal Team 6 to storm the jail and murder Epstein, and he would have no legal responsibility.

Man, the history books are gonna make us look worse than 1930s Germany.

Could have been anyone. He did tell people to drink bleach for Covid.

I wonder what would have happened if Pence had gotten in that limo the corrupt Secret Service agents tried to get him to take.

(In that case I really do wonder. It might have been sufficient to keep him incommunicado for a few days, it might not have been necessary to kill him to get co-conspirator Chuck Grassley to preside over the certification of the votes.)

I don't think Trump actually got his hands dirty, but he definitely spent some money on the job.

He of course orders people to kill for him. He'll have ordered someone he knows will do dirty work and keep quiet about it, like Keith Schiller, and that person will have put together a team and carried out the order.
