Funny how I knew it wasn’t in America not because of the name, but because someone in public office went into custody.
He’s being arrested for sharing official documents. Not the disgusting crimes he committed against children and/or women. It’s not real accountability, it’s theater meant to placate the angry masses.
Trump had crates full of official documents in his bathroom and nobody touched him in four years.
Thousands of years into our civilization and the oldest tricks still work the best. The more things change and all that.
edit: that said, Epstein was almost definitely working as a double-agent between various organizations, maybe a quadruple agent or more, he wasn’t so well-connected and powerful just because he dealt children, he also dealt secrets between superpowers, so just having contact with him as a state official puts a massive spotlight on you as a security risk.
National governments care a lot more about you being a security risk than they do about you hurting kids.
The penalty is mostly fines. Even sharing military secrets in UK is only 2 years. WTF Brits.
OTOH - consider the plight of Manning and Snowden. Perhaps a penalty of 2 years would encourage whistleblowers?
Many Democrats have been arrested. The fascist political persecution is already in full swing.
Oh, I see, it’s funny because it’s not true! Ha ha! Ohhhhh
