How is Trump not going to look like he's covering up his own guilt if he pardons Maxwell?

We are living in crazy times for sure, but is it possible that times are crazy enough for Trump to get out of this Epstein stuff by pardoning Maxwell?

The only insane theory I can come up with is that he'll get Maxwell to say he had nothing to do with Epstein in spite of all the photos, letters, videos etc. in exchange for a pardon.

My nightmare is that a convicted sex trafficker will go free, and we will all be told to move on, while being accused of having Trump derangement syndrome.

1. He wished her well, he knew what he would do all along, it was her stand by moment.

He'll try to look magnanimous with great chivalry.

7. I know that wishing her well is not the same,

but it reminds me of "very fine people on both sides."

He says shocking things and gets away with it.

2. Doubt he even cares at this point

He’s gotten away with every goddamned rotten thing his whole life — why stop now?

3. He will look exactly like what he is....a POS.

4. This will get messy

Epstein's family may have info that they will share (or not).

And what about the victims? Will they be so enraged that maybe they will come forward?

5. Does he even care what it looks like.

He is making money hand over fist.
He will leave the White House much much richer than when he left.

The courts and congress will not touch him.

He will be fine.

6. since his cult didn't care that he tried to overthrow the government on January 6, I doubt they will care about this.

8. And you think he cares? We're all just supposed to take his word he isn't a pedo.

[flvegan]

10. He won't care and neither will his cult. n/t

11. This is the guy. who said he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and . . .

And not lose a single vote.

Sounds nuts but I think the man believed it then and believes it now.

Why shouldn't he? Impeached twice, 37 felony counts, an adjudicated rapist, 30,000+ lies to the public and he's sitting in the WH for a second round.

He feels impervious, untouchable and unstoppable.

It's up to American citizens to prove him wrong. Otherwise, he'll bury us.

12. Maybe.......but I think

the WSJ will reveal more and maybe one of more of the witnesses.

13. Trump will say: "Issue over. Did you hear about Obama?"
