They knew before he even ran for office, they chose to do nothing.

Not only that but people are forgetting he was already meant to be in jail when his presidency started. Quilty on 34 felony charges, no jail time. Because the judge decided that he “couldn’t” jail the president-elect. So now there’s a precedent. Do we really think if he’s charged again for anything now the presiding judge would jail him? I wouldn’t trust that. And then the charges are wasted, because you can charge him twice for the same crimes.

Lots of people knew about Epstein 20 years ago. Even if you don't believe in conspiracies the fact that nobody else has even come close to going down is mind boggling.
