Trump is under the mistaken impression that the Epstein scandal is about Democrats vs Republicans. Actually, it’s about pedophiles vs people who want pedophiles to spend the rest of their lives in prison

Someone’s got to mention that men go to prison for having sex with (let’s say female because “girl” is a useless term nowadays) a female under 18.
"don't worry, he's just into 15-year-olds" perhaps not as exculpatory as you think
Also 15-year-olds are not "barely legal." They are minors.

Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."
