So the former Prime Minister of Norway has been charged with corruption in relation to Epstein

But here in the USA we are doing nothing?

Former Norway leader charged with corruption after probe into alleged Epstein ties, lawyers say

Norway’s former Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland has been charged with “aggravated corruption” after a police probe into his alleged ties to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to the law firm representing him.

Elden Law Firm confirmed to CNN on Thursday that Jagland is “charged with aggravated corruption,” adding that he “denies all charges.”

As long as the billionaire waits until the day AFTER the politician does him the corrupt favor to hand him the bag of cash, and not the day BEFORE, it's all totally legit. Showing appreciation for a "job well done"! A little remuneration among friends, if you will!
