The arrests of the online influencers known for their misogynistic views come after years of investigations in Britain and Romania. The new charges concern offenses dating back to 2010, officials said.

      The main diddler will have no power in this case once they are out of the US… they’re being extradited.

          It’ll be interesting to see what he does… on the one hand, it’s his chance to ‘own the libs’ to rally his base. On the other, it could bring Epstein back into focus.

            it’s his chance to ‘own the libs’

            Since when to ‘the libs’ like the Tate brothers?

              By getting them released he will completely piss off and distract ‘the libs’ - that is the ‘own’.

          He has to be desperate for a new “supplier” after his BFF Epstein was suicided, maybe he’s thinking these morons fit the bill.

            after his BFF Epstein was suicided

            You say that as if he didn’t order it done himself.

            (Or, hey – one of my favorite conspiracies: Did you ever see Epstein’s body? I didn’t. Maybe they just said he was suicided (perhaps with some poor lookalike soul swapped in for him), but he was actually whisked out of prison and taken to his next island where he could keep offering his services to the rich and powerful.)

        If he did this it would kill the extradition treaty we have.

        Which considering the USA uses it way more than us would hurt them more.

        USA has been pushing all kind of shit and UK politicians often give in because they’re Trump fanboys or pushovers, so the US does have power. How long and how far that goes remains to be seen
