Epstein's Allies on Trial
Rick Wilson
Let’s run a little thought experiment.
The arrest of Prince Andrew Mountbatten reminded me that some countries (not our own, QED everything) still believe in the rule of law.
Imagine that someone perched high in the firmament of global power, not a bit player, not a disgraced assistant, not a quietly retired Wall Street operator, but a truly insulated member of the ruling class, were arrested and prosecuted over crimes connected to Jeffrey Epstein.
Not sued. Not “asked to step back from public duties.” Not quietly shuffled into a think tank fellowship. Arrested. Charged. Arraigned. Tried.
