Epstein will talk...unless there is a pardon.

30. Trumpy won't be able to find a righteous reason for a pardon.

Epstein is simply too hot. There's too much already known. Anyone who can read already knows that Epstein got an illegal plea deal, that Trumpy rewarded the dealmaker with a Cabinet post, that Trumpy regularly attended Epstein's parties where teenaged girls were assaulted, abused, and raped. A little more detailed reading will reveal that Trumpy used his modeling agency to hold European teens hostage in cramped sleeping quarters and threatened deportation if they did not submit to sexual exploitation. Some of those teens were used at Epstein's parties. There are no mysteries here. There is no way for Trumpy to use morally ambiguous statements to slop through a pardon. Jeez. He could find no justification for pardoning Manafort, and that's saying something. So Manafort rots in jail and will likely die there.
Anyone protecting Trumpy, who is complicit in criminal behavior, ought to take a hint from Manafort's experience, Epstein included. Trumpy will only pardon if it benefits HIM. But there's no benefit to him for pardoning either Manafort or Epstein. So they will rot.

Trumpy cannot claim that Epstein was treated unfairly, then manufacture pity and give him a pardon. It won't work. If it does, you can bet your beanie that NY state charges won't be far behind. Epstein likely has spent his last days as a free person. Trumpy is already saying that he knows nothing, which should be a tell that he knows everything. Oh. And one more thing. Epstein won't last long in prison, either, if he's not in solitary. He'll be sliced to ribbons by inmates if he's not given VIP treatment in prison. Perhaps there are federal pens that will provide massages for him. I'm sure that there are hundreds of inmates who would clammer to be his masseur.
