about the trafficking and money angles, but I think many are thinkng too small in scope. We're not criminals or psychopaths. I think we have to stretch into huge mob industries... real estate, gambling, and even drugs. What would it do if we find out part of Epsteins and trumps business was drug trafficking, especially after bombing innocents on the same charge in so many different countries. Trump could start WWIII without even trying just due to international outrage. And if vsnce pardons him or we switch back to our old form of legal process, not only would we be on the brink of rioting but I think so it would be internationally, too.
