"The message is not that Trump is innocent, it's that *everyone is guilty.* Everyone assaults women, cheats on their taxes, uses public office for private gain. Propriety and following the rules? That stuff is for suckers. In a world of grift and graft, the most corrupt man should be king."

Trump’s corrupt pardons and the Epstein cover-up aren’t separate scandals—they’re symptoms of the same disease. A system that strips people of their dignity so a handful of corrupt billionaires can squeeze out a few more dollars with zero accountability.

Bovino’s rant fits the authoritarian indicators in our assessment: empowered security forces acting with impunity, militarized immigration raids, executive overreach through federalized enforcement, and loyalty-driven ops unmoored from oversight. His tone isn’t an outlier but a symptom.

Why am I rehashing all this?
So the next time a Republican simp asks you why the “Biden DOJ” did not release the Epstein files, you can answer with the following:
“Ghislaine Maxwell’s court cases, that’s why.”
