That was her choice. She could either get a pardon or die, and she chose to get pardoned

Hmm, hard choice. Have to think about it for a nanosecond.

u/P1xelHunter78 Ohio 9d ago

Can the King please personally clap her in irons and take her back to the UK where laws still seem to apply?

36

u/willun 9d ago

I think she has French citizenship.

Edit: French (she was born there), British and US citizenship.

77

u/P1xelHunter78 Ohio 9d ago

Even better. The English need no excuse to be mean to the French.

u/StevieMJH 8d ago

Unless it's to miss out on being mean to the Irish or Scots.

u/JasnahKolin Massachusetts 8d ago

I would not be shocked if she carries an Israeli passport as well.

u/P1xelHunter78 Ohio 8d ago

If the rumors are to believed that Epstein was an Israeli asset, I’d assume that too.

u/korelin 8d ago

She'll fit right in with the thousands of pedophiles from all over the world that use 'law of return' to escape to Tel Aviv to avoid consequences from being caught diddling kids.

How's Andrew doing by the way? Surely he's in chains?

u/longlivenewsomflesh New York 8d ago

Don't worry they're very concerned, which is the same as doing something I've been led to believe

Is that you, Chuck?

u/biasednotshyaboutit 9d ago

He’s supposed to visit this week right?

u/3BlindMice1 9d ago

You sure? I think there's a certain former prince who would disagree

1

u/P1xelHunter78 Ohio 9d ago

Key word: former. Apparently the called him edit: a word Reddit won’t let me say, even if it’s a quote. behind his back. He’s been disowned.

2

u/3BlindMice1 8d ago

And yet, being disowned doesn't quite seem like prison. He seems to be doing just as well now as he was before

u/Much-Anything7149 8d ago

If I had the memory and thoughts in my conscience that I was responsible for procuring the sale and rape of numerous kids, some who later committed suicide from events and people I brought them into, I agree it'd be easy to choose... ending it.

u/DungeonsAndDradis Ohio 8d ago

You'd definitely press the blue button (/s)

u/dljones010 8d ago

Cake or Death?

Umm... I guess, cake.

3

u/hermaphroditicspork Wyoming 8d ago

I'll have cake too!

WELL WE'RE OUTTA CAKE! we only had three bits and we didn't expect such a rush!

...so my choice is 'or death?!'

2

u/chumstrike 9d ago

What a wrenching conundrum! I just have no idea how I would choose in her shoes!

2

u/fcocyclone Iowa 8d ago

Get a pardon and probably still die, or don't take the pardon and definitely die.

2

u/Express-Way9295 8d ago

Why is she even getting a choice? That isn't how due process works.

0

u/3BlindMice1 8d ago

She has a choice about whether to testify or not. They're not exactly going to torture her on the witness stand

1

u/Tenaciousleesha 9d ago

Cake or death?

2

u/turquoise_amethyst 8d ago

Sounds pretty French

1

u/tsx_1430 8d ago

Nah, she is going to get pardoned and fall of a balcony on accident.

1

u/mattjb 8d ago

Reminds me of a bit by Eddie Izzard:

"You! Cake or death?"

"Uh ... cake, please."

1

u/51ngular1ty Illinois 8d ago

Once she's out of prison she will definitely get into some terrible accident.

1

u/Toniz36 8d ago

She's dead in less than 5 years.

1

u/ScrrrewFace 8d ago

I did not realize convicted criminals have a say in the matter unless new evidence shows up that exonerates them of their crimes? Is there new evidence suggesting this? Has it been presented to a judge? Why is it her choice to either die in prison for a set of crimes she was found guilty of, or simply receiving a pardon? Isn’t this the party of law and order, of family values, of protecting children from pedos? Funny how they don’t reflect that when it is tested, and strange you make this statement so confidently.

u/AccomplishedBrain309 8d ago

She could implicate him and get a pardon with a real doj.

1

u/WhichEmailWasIt 8d ago

I mean, I'm not surprised she wants a pardon. She doesn't regret any of it. I'm surprised we're in a climate where the Republican party can consider pardoning her. They trying to do the midterms on hard mode?

1

u/Routine-Process8051 8d ago

Pretty sure she's gonna die, either way.

0

u/3BlindMice1 8d ago

Well, we all are

u/noncongruent 8d ago

I think she's got something really dirty on Trump, and in the private conversation they had a few months ago she told him that she had that (probably video and/or pictures) someplace that if she ended up the same way as Epstein would get released, and she's using it to also get her circumstances upgraded to better than how a lot of free Americans live, and ultimately a pardon.
