Just toss his ass in prison already. He should spend the rest of his life there, and after he dies in prison they should send his body to Romania to buried in some prison graveyard there, symbolic of how he tried to escape justice there, but that is where his body will rest.

Those charges are going to be dropped

Epstein would have been pardoned

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 6 points 6 days ago

He would be vice president

he will "donate" $1m to Trump and be out the next day

incoming trumptard pardon... rapists look after one another

[–] SulaymanF@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Trump got him out of jail and his party got angry at him for it. So his partisan DOJ of course is opening the investigation.

He’s not innocent but this is also politically motivated. They wouldn’t do this if it wasn’t for Trump meddling. I miss having an independent DOJ.

[–] Doctor_Satan@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The DoJ didn't open this investigation. SDNY did. DoJ is just not interfering.

[–] SulaymanF@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

What evidence do you have that Pam Bondi is not interfering?

[–] Doctor_Satan@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

What evidence do I have that the Keebler elves are not interfering? Proving a negative is a fools game. If evidence comes to light that the DoJ is interfering, then I'll gladly criticize them for doing so.

[–] SulaymanF@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The Trump administration already interfered by getting Tate released from jail in Romania. Pam Bondi is already publicly corrupt. Tate has become a political liability for Trump and there’s a clear motive for his administration to put him away. I have more than enough probable cause to be suspicious here.

[–] Doctor_Satan@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago

The Trump administration already interfered by getting Tate released from jail in Romania.

Trump himself directly interfered with the Romanian investigation, no question. That's not the same thing as the DoJ interfering with the SDNY investigation. Two separate things.

I have more than enough probable cause to be suspicious here.

Suspicion is not evidence that the DoJ has done anything to interfere with the SDNY investigation. In fact, it looks more like Trump/Bondi are not interfering specifically because they don't need to. Tate was gonna get popped by US law enforcement eventually, and was likely banking on Trump saving him. Since he's a liability, all Trump has to do is nothing.

[–] Clbull@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Maybe a bit of a cold take, but my guess is he went back to Romania because Romanian or British prison would be preferable to a Salvadoran supermax.

[–] PoopSpiderman@lemmy.world 342 points 1 week ago (9 children)

So what position will he hold in trump’s cabinet?

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Secretary of Pedophelia

I'd pick President Camacho over Trump. Easy choice.

He's also stupid but not mean-spirited, and in the end, he listens to the smarter guy.

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 days ago

in the end, he listens to the smarter guy.

That's how you know it's fiction.

And when is his pardon?

That’s a real funny way to spell “has a job interview with the administration”

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 56 points 1 week ago (8 children)

The Southern District of New York (SDNY) attorney’s office is the same office that ran investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and singer R Kelly. The office also recently charged Sean “Diddy” Combs with sex trafficking and other federal offences.

Oh shit, fam. I thought the Trump admin was gonna give him a pass. Maybe not? I mean, I know NY is not Trump. I’m very happy to read this. I don’t think this can be pardoned because it’s a state charge, not a federal charge? Get ‘em!

"Let them fight!"

[–] Manalith@midwest.social 3 points 6 days ago

My guess is they're investigating him so they can pardon him. I'm not sure how that system works.

I'm doubt that will be the case for long. Can't have the DoJ doing its job, now.

[–] Damionsipher@lemmy.world 41 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I wonder if murdering him in the street would be considered terrorism by the US Gov't?

[–] blakenong@lemmings.world 26 points 1 week ago (4 children)

There are more important things to do with that bullet.

Investigating him for a pardon?

I smell an executive order coming in fast to make him hands off to justice and the crimes he’s committed.

Would expect nothing else from this pathetic government.

The Tate brothers may have to pay for their crimes in UK and Romania but in the USA they can just buy pardons from Trump. If they give a little extra money to the Orange Demon, they might even get a cabinet post.

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Trump can't sell pardon for state crimes. I simply cannot believe that the US is so fucking corrupt that the president selling pardons is an actual fact.

[–] ubergeek 2 points 6 days ago

Well, buckle up!

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

He absolutely can if the state governor is one of Trump's little bitches.

[–] The_Caretaker@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The Southern District of New York is a federal prosecutors office. These are federal charges.

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

Yes, he has federal charges. He also has state charges in Florida.

So men can't be lonely without being misogynist...

Do you even live on earth

[–] QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works 47 points 1 week ago (20 children)

I just feel like maybe this is conflating lonely men with misogynists, which obviously are not mutually exclusive, but there are plenty of lonely males that aren’t hateful
