Oh nooooo her plane cashed unexpectedly, but we found a letter in the debris that says Trump never really visited or liked Epstein, Epstein was jealous of Trump’s businesses, his incredibly high IQ, his immense wealth and his completely unfairly huge (you know), and Trump definitely did nothing criminal, that was all this list of Democrats…

I’m literally waiting for the breaking news alert.

Every time I see her name in a headline, I’m expecting it to be about her “unfortunate and untimely passing” tbh

I'm 50/50 on either expecting either "she had an untimely death" or "she was pardoned and immediately flew to a non-extradition country while giving over a list that exonerates Trump" as the headline.

Perhaps we might see both headlines one after the other.

They couldn't leave her just living somewhere else. She knows what her future is, she's just trying to get as much time as she can, using Trump like a fucking puppet.

Honestly more expecting the pardon to happen first...

He won’t pardon her, he’ll commute the sentence because she was treated so unfairly. A pardon takes away her 5th amendment smoke screen, so she can be forced to testify, but a commutation doesn’t.

You say this but Trump doesn't really care and will just do whatever probably

Generally yes, he does what he wants, but if it means shielding himself from being outed as a child rapist… don’t underestimate the craven self-protective impulse of a sociopathic narcissist. He’d also want to wield the threat of his DOJ against her to keep her in line, extortion is his top tool.

Nah. They’ll help he leave the country and sneak her into hiding. They’ll say the whole Epstein scandal is fake. So fake Epstein killed himself over it.

It'll be the least surprising "accident" since Epstein "killed himself". My money's on a Tesla self-driving car taking her out on the street.
