If he was an informant that meant he knew what Epstein was up to. And much of the time, informants (or percipient witnesses) are coconspirators who roll on their associates in exchange for immunity - did Trump roll on Epstein to avoid prosecution along with him for sex trafficking and money laundering? Is that why Trump doesn't want the complete Epstein files released? And did Johnson just roll on Trump, accidentally or otherwise? Does he actually know something or was he just making shit up to try to save Trump's ass?
