Wait. So if someone accuses - or implicates if you prefer - him in this he should summarily resign? Really?

No — uncorroborated accusations are not nearly enough. I meant “implicated” as in “proven to have abused underage girls”. Or to have used his money/influence/status to knowingly protect other people who have done so.

Ah, got it. If that happens I'll gladly lead the charge to oust him.

We’ll see what happens. But I really doubt it’s that.

Another thing: if he really is a “billionaire”, he will be able to buy plenty of protection on the inside. Guards and prisoners alike will be happy to keep him safe and comfortable.

That all depends... urban myth says there are two types of criminals who are considered the worst of the worst and can't buy any protection if you're thrown into general population with one of two crimes...

Traitors and Child-molestors/enablers.

Don't know how true that actually is, but I'm hoping it is true (providing Epstein spills the beans before a jailyard 'accident').

It seems to me this story is being shuffled off to the the trash bin of history. Wondering why?.....

I guarantee you, this circus is just getting started. I suspect that once Epstein or his lawyers start Naming the Names, this will become the #1 story in all media for several months. Sort of like the OJ case, or Michael Jackson.

Trump is part of the establishment because of his business and wealth. He have been scum since the 1970s.

Bitter jealousy isn't a good look.

And it should read He have HAS been scum since the 1970s.
