It depends on the charge.

This isn’t about prostitution or the Mann Act.

It’s not illegal to submit to blackmail.

Engaging in consensual sex with a prostitute above the age of consent isn’t illegal in some locales.

But espionage is illegal.

Handing over classified info is illegal.

Charges like those will be harder to prove, and those convictions must be able to withstand appeals.

Thanks to double jeopardy, there will be no do-overs.

People need to be patient.

If the president sees a problem, he will see that it is addressed.

Trust the man we elected to save our republic.

I hate to break it to people, but a lot of what went down may be a tort and bot a crime.

And you likely won’t see anyone in civil court over an Esptein Problem.

I don’t deny the possible charges.

It is my belief that in general, sufficient evidence can not be produced to achieve a conviction.

According to NBC this morning, apparently, the raid was related to him passing state secrets when he was on some committee, so NOT related to his sex crimes.

Assuming ex-Prince Andrew gave British state secrets to Jeffrey Epstein, you have to wonder to whom Epstein would have sold the secrets. He has been accused of ties to the Mossad, but I don't believe the Israelis would have much interest in secrets from a friendly power. Besides, the Mossad probably has moles inside MI-6, as they did with the CIA under James Angleton.

I think there may be an Epstein-Russian connection. He did visit with Russian President Putin at least once, and he obtained Russian and other Eastern European women for his operations from the Russian Mafia, which is under the control of the KGB/FSB.
