They'll be back before a judge on various pedophilia and sexual assault charges soon enough.

Which will be, hopefully, enough for the next DOJ to argue that this decision was politically motivated and bring back the charges 🤞

Yes, that's how this works. The Trump administration have made great strides in allowing the widespread rape and trafficking of children. From covering up the Trump Epstein files to pardoning criminals... They are so far very successful at this.

This is what MAGA stands for. This is what they voted for.

That is only half the story. He didn't lose eyesight from it at first. But the wound wouldn't heal because the guy didn't shower and so it kept getting infected, until he lost his eyesight. All according to his ex-girl friend.

When the formal justice fails to deliver justice, the people will resort to less formal methods. That might get messy.
