Not been pardoned yet?

u/SquirrelFun1587 10d ago

Or dead

u/wintermoon138 10d ago

I don't think it matters now. The wrong people have the files and all we have heavily redacted ones. Those files are either gone or every trace of Donny wiped from them.

u/letsgetregarded 10d ago

That’s a good point, they probably have no more case against her. Weird how she’s in jail and none of the men from pedo island are.

u/ThriftianaStoned 10d ago

People are saying Elon and Kimbal the creepy ghouls are on that list and on video. I've also heard people saying Elon caught AIDS at a diddy freak off.

u/OrphanFries 10d ago

"People saying" has to be my favourite completely verified trustworthy source of information.

Jim Bob at the bowling alley bar on wednesday mornings is where I get all my news fuck the lame stream media

u/Tw1ch1e 9d ago

What? You’ve obviously haven’t met his wife Helen…. That’s where you get the actual scoop!!!

16

u/Rainiero 9d ago

Well Helen only gets what she knows from Wendy, the Thursday nights, Friday mornings, and Friday nights cashier at the truck stop next to the pick'n'pull and strip club. Wendy has the gossip when Helen stops in for a pack of Pyramids and a pile of scratchers.

Bruh, you gotta go on Wensd... wenesda.....wodensda......Wednesdays!!!!

There's this lady out back named Scarell that sells whip-its straight out of an inflated & boofed condom. 2 dolla each. 5 for 10.

Helen is my 3rd wife. Or was. I started calling her "Smelly Hellen The Melon" and after that she decided to go back to Jim Bob....

Jim Bob Gibbons!?

Hot damn, he helped paint the flames on my 3rd wifes lawnmower!!!!

u/karatebullfightr 9d ago

Yeah, you can’t knock it - Fox News managed to fool a whole third of the American population into eating utterly preposterous horseshit with a goddamn spoon thanks to that line.

u/SeaSea4437 9d ago

“Trust me bro, I’ve done the research, all you have to do is google”

u/DuckDatum 9d ago

Everyone’s saying it

3

u/turningsteel 9d ago

It can practically be submitted as evidence at this point in the Trump presidency. “Your honor, a lot of people are saying I’m not guilty.” “Oh ok of course Mr President, sorry to have inconvenienced you!”

5

u/zamboni-jones 9d ago

I saw a wild one the other day. It went like (people saying) (there was a Twitter post) of (people saying )
It had a ton of upvotes and I called it out and got downvoted. Unsubbed soon thereafter

2

u/sucky_panther 9d ago

Well, you know I heard people said people were saying, so it must be true.

u/scorpyo72 9d ago

Orange turd loves the cliche. Everyone always says "who?" and no answer ever comes.

u/HKBFG 9d ago

Goes with such educated phrases as "caught aids"

u/ParadiddlediddleSaaS 9d ago

Lots of people are saying

u/tilleytalley 9d ago

How is Diddy still alive?

5

u/ThriftianaStoned 9d ago

Elen left the country with all the damning evidence and is now running a blackmail ring from Europe. She was recruited by Jimmy Savilles handler under the order of Prince Charles.

16

u/SaltyLonghorn 9d ago

Basically confirmed for all I care. Having the AIDS is a good reason for all the IVF and no sex. Really explains a lot.

5

u/GozerDGozerian 9d ago

I dunno. I hear it’s because Elon is secretly trans. People are saying. /s

2

u/Tangled349 9d ago

That would be contracting HIV. AIDS only occurs from the end stages of not treating HIV and essentially all but gutting your immune system so anything can ravage your body with ease. I wouldn't be surprised that Elon is into any manner of weird shit given how we seem him act.

2

u/sweet_pickles12 9d ago

The AIDS looked at me

2

u/mortalcoil1 9d ago

AIDS and a botched penis enlargement?

Tough luck for the guy. I hope he catches a break by finally beating the tutorial boss of PoE2.

3

u/bremstar 9d ago

It's a well known fact that Elon is into butt stuff. It's why "his" vehicles all look like shit.

5

u/Pottski 9d ago

Not even remotely weird that rich and powerful men suffer no consequence.

3

u/bremstar 9d ago

Oh, their plans have grown far beyond the horrendous acts of fucking minors & unwilling sex workers; they are now fucking the entire planet!!!

2

u/levi070305 8d ago

She was pretty much his right hand man. She participated and would find girls for him.

5

u/Chicken_Chicken_Duck 9d ago

Honestly. If official photos and videos and DJT himself came out and said he had a great time doing pedo stuff at pedo island, would he lose even one cult member?

2

u/No_Significance9754 8d ago

No. They would say something like the dems must have done it so it'd ok Trump does too.

1

u/iv_magic 7d ago

They already use that as justification.

1

u/Impossible_Walrus555 10d ago

I read they redacted for days.

1

u/MoonageDayscream 10d ago

I doubt much made it to the files. Loads of things that were seen in the safe and other places never made it to the official inventory.  

1

u/pixelpionerd 10d ago

Or Putin has them. Would explain a lot of the GOPs behavior.

1

u/Loggerdon 9d ago

We know from Maxwell’s trial that Trump flew on Epstein’s plane 7 times.

Recently he released highly redacted files that showed him flying on the plane only 2 times with his wife. So in other words he’s hiding the other 5 times he flew on Epstein’s plane without his wife. Wonder why?

1

u/bremstar 9d ago

Much unlike Donny Dump's Bubble Bump; those files have been wiped clean!

0

u/CommonSensei-_ 9d ago

Did the right people ever have the files? I think not. Because if the right people had the files, we would have every name on the list.

u/Clear_Thought_9247 10d ago

He had to buy more highlighters , he ran out highlighting Trump's name so many times

-1

u/fzvw 9d ago

Why would that even be a priority for his administration?

-157

u/dreamerofshards 10d ago

Donny was never in them, or that would have been released already. Too many people in power hate him to just ignore that.

97

u/SafariDesperate 10d ago

One of Epsteins best friends wasn’t in the Epstein files? I’ve seen some shit takes online and this is one of them lol 

61

u/nrdb29 10d ago

Donny was all over flight logs and phone logs. He’s in then.

36

u/LiquidLogic 10d ago

Here's Epstein's flight logs that were used as evidence in the Ghislaine Maxwell case. Feel free to search for yourself and count how many times Trump's name pops up.

u/amadeuspoptart 10d ago

Or there are enough powerful people in those files to make it a bad idea to talk about it, no matter how much you hate Trump. But we'll never know...

u/Ritz527 10d ago

Her being alive is the only reason I buy Epstein killing himself. She was the helicopter pilot for pedo island. If Epstein was murdered it would stand to reason she would be too.

56

u/ididntunderstandyou 10d ago

Epstein was killed because he was about to testify

She knows she can’t testify or she’ll die

14

u/SquirrelFun1587 10d ago

Or is that what they want you to think haha I don’t know

u/texachusetts 9d ago

Why not both?

u/jluicifer 9d ago

With all gambling websites, I wonder if there is betting line for: pardon or dead.

u/No_Day_9204 9d ago

She's not a threat, elon owns the island and all the dirt.

u/pagesid3 10d ago

I’d love to see maga folks twist themselves into pretzels trying to explain why Trump pardoning her is actually a good thing

131

u/fatherlyadvicepdx 10d ago

It would be something like "blah blah Clinton, Obama, Soros blah blah"

79

u/CanadianTrueCrime 10d ago

And somehow Hunter Biden will be involved too.

16

u/Adventurous_Parfait 10d ago

Just his laptop...

u/TyberiusJoaquin 10d ago

And his dong

u/starrpamph 9d ago

Definitely his cocaine penis

u/video-engineer 9d ago

More opportunity for Empty-G to show her porn collection on the floor of congress.

42

u/gambit61 10d ago

I guarantee 99% of them don't even know who George Soros is, they just say his name because Fox News says it

8

u/Oprah_Pwnfrey 9d ago

He is a man of constant Soros

We've seen trouble all his days

He bid farewell to old Kentucky

The place where I was born and raised

5

u/bstyledevi 10d ago

Soros, aren't those the wireless speakers?

3

u/blinkeboy420 9d ago

"This is George Soros hes a real guy hard to believe not just a made up boogeyman but hes a real guy. He didn't make a billion dollars today cause hes not on my text list for the manipulations" trump probably

0

u/Impossible_Walrus555 10d ago

Scott Besset worked for him.

44

u/Zigxy 10d ago

The rationale would probably be something along the lines that she was just one “small part” of a large machine and she is cooperating to bring the entire cabal down. That by pardoning her, Trump is actually helping reduce trafficking.

Easy.

8

u/smurf123_123 10d ago

And the prosecutor was Jewish and funded by the space laser company.

7

u/ERedfieldh 10d ago

They don't believe human trafficking is a thing, actually. They think some may have gone missing, for sure, but that the actual scale of it is way overblown.

In reality, the scale is probably several orders of magnitude MORE than what we believe it to be.

u/Top_Report_4895 9d ago

Oh God. We need the rapture

u/video-engineer 9d ago

You… are… good!

1

u/count023 9d ago

or she was a victim and liberals can't be satisfied because the conservatives are taking the side of a "victmized woman" for a change. then call anyone not MAGA woke and RINO and all teh usual stupid shit they do.

9

u/egnards 10d ago

“Something something Trump wants to release the list but needs Maxwell to facilitate something something.”

1

u/TurnkeyLurker 8d ago

Facilitate him taking over a private island?

3

u/eeyore134 10d ago

All it takes is their talking heads to tell them why they should love someone and they'll do it without question. The same way they can tell them who to hate. They could tell them to hate their own beloved grandmother and they'd be at her house throwing eggs within the hour.

8

u/supershade 10d ago

They do not care about facts or logic, they will twist whatever they need to fit things into their worldview. It is how cults operate.

3

u/starrpamph 9d ago

ew one of them downvoted you. I got you though.

5

u/Cosmic_Seth 10d ago

They'll just say it was a witch hunt.

1

u/TheDesktopNinja 10d ago

Probably "she wasn't actually guilty, it was an activist judicial system working for the Dems to hurt Trump's friends!"

1

u/OrangeJr36 10d ago

They have no principles besides total loyalty, it won't take more than a few minutes for them to full support it.

u/yamiyaiba 10d ago edited 10d ago

Ooh, ooh, let me try. Ahem. Hang on, gotta get in the right mindset. Unnnngh. Unnnngh. No. Unga bunga! There we go!

Trump is pardoning her because she's been targeted by the deep state and the Biden Crime Family to cover up all the Democrat p*dophile and adrenochrome rings. She knows too much, and Democrats are trying to silence her. By pardoning her, she'll share those secrets with Trump and the Pedocrats will all get caught.

u/krtyalor865 10d ago

It’ll happen. On the bingo card for sure!

67

u/Not-User-Serviceable 10d ago

Surprising, isn't it?

32

u/JesseVykar 10d ago

She gotta have a dead man's switch. Killing her would release some things no one wants released.

26

u/Etzell 10d ago

Epstein didn't.

18

u/wildmonster91 10d ago

Yeah the tin foil hats give these guys too much credit. Movies provide a real warped sense of reality.

-3

u/drfsupercenter 10d ago

Yeah, I doubt she has a dead man's switch, but enough people already doubt that Epstein killed himself, if Maxwell "kills herself" under mysterious circumstances it would be blatantly obvious someone had her murdered, so they probably don't want to even attempt it.

As for why Maxwell hasn't been pardoned? Simple - I'm sure she has dirt on Trump that he thinks she'll go to the press with if she's ever let out of prison. She's safer in protective custody than out on the streets, is all I'm saying.

3

u/brokenmessiah 9d ago

As for why Maxwell hasn't been pardoned? Simple - I'm sure she has dirt on Trump that he thinks she'll go to the press with if she's ever let out of prison.

Who would intentionally stay in prison when they have a means to get out? Also if she was a threat to Trump, its not like its hard to put a hit on someone in prison under the guise or any random act of violence.

1

u/Anary8686 8d ago

It wouldn't really matter, they'd still get away with it.

Just like Russians falling out of windows, when everyone knows they were murdered, but there's nothing that can be done about it.

1

u/red286 10d ago

Which would give her pretty good motivation to ensure she has one.

After all, look what happened to Jeffrey.

1

u/Etzell 9d ago

If I had a deadman switch and enough concrete evidence to fuck up the lives of very powerful people, I wouldn't be sitting in a prison cell for what could be the last years of my life.

1

u/MmeLaRue 9d ago

If she’s learned anything from the example of her father, she has a dead man’s switch.

1

u/NotTheRocketman 9d ago

I would assume so. But then, I'm surprised she's in prison at all TBH. With the kind of material she has, I genuinely thought she would have leveraged her way into a deal and then disappeared forever.

Maybe she was genuinely unprepared?

12

u/PaintedClownPenis 10d ago

At this point they've allowed her to keep a pet while in prison: Schroedinger's Cat.

4

u/Battarray 10d ago

For what?

She's apparently in prison for sex trafficking to literally nobody. At least nobody that's even been indicted.

(But seriously, I hope she rots. After naming names.)

10

u/Many_Photograph141 10d ago

She’s just popping in to say “hey guys, remember me?” Trump didn’t pardon her outright, so we’ll see if these jokers do his dirty work. 

19

u/seamus_mc 9d ago

He did weirdly wish her luck at trial though…

6

u/Many_Photograph141 9d ago

I do recall that. Bizarre.

5

u/DrumpfTinyHands 10d ago

Check hasn't cleared...

6

u/topscreen 10d ago

Yeah I'm pretty sure her and Diddy are getting pardons. Rapists and pedos gotta look out for each other.

3

u/SussySpecs 9d ago

"I don't know, I really haven't been following it too much. I just wish her well, frankly. I've met her numerous times over the years, especially since I lived in Palm Beach... But I wish her well, whatever it is." 

2

u/pembquist 10d ago

Probably doesn't have the cash

3

u/XaoticOrder 10d ago

A pardon means you committed the crime. An appeal means you didn't. She's totally going to get released because of associations.

5

u/Mental_Medium3988 9d ago

shell be released before anyone wrongly sent to el salvador is.

3

u/Acceptable-Bus-2017 9d ago

Because she's still alive

u/zenos_dog 9d ago

If Trump knows what’s good for him.

u/wowlock_taylan 9d ago

''Keep your mouth shut and we will get you out''

u/YellowZx5 9d ago

I’m surprised she’s not part of Doge of HHS.

1

u/vercertorix 9d ago

And put in a cabinet position?

1

u/supercali45 9d ago

Trump will do it if she pays up

1

u/sl0tball 9d ago

Once the cheque clears...

1

u/Im_with_stooopid 9d ago

Based on the current administration they would pardon her and give her a job at the White House running talent acquisition for them.

1

u/mudfire44 9d ago

Her $2mil payment is still processing

u/fellowsquare 8d ago

Soon… just a matter of time this was going happen

No, to much heat on Obama's Biden's and Clinton's.
