Trump got him out of jail and his party got angry at him for it. So his partisan DOJ of course is opening the investigation.

He’s not innocent but this is also politically motivated. They wouldn’t do this if it wasn’t for Trump meddling. I miss having an independent DOJ.

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

he will "donate" $1m to Trump and be out the next day

[–] roserose56@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 hours ago

It damn time.

Just toss his ass in prison already. He should spend the rest of his life in prison, and after he dies in prison they should send his body to Romania to buried in some prison graveyard there, symbolic of how he tried to escape justice there, but that is where his body will rest.

"under federal investigation" but not arrested or arreigned.

[–] Clbull@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Maybe a bit of a cold take, but my guess is he went back to Romania because Romanian or British prison would be preferable to a Salvadoran supermax.

The Southern District of New York (SDNY) attorney’s office is the same office that ran investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and singer R Kelly. The office also recently charged Sean “Diddy” Combs with sex trafficking and other federal offences.

Oh shit, fam. I thought the Trump admin was gonna give him a pass. Maybe not? I mean, I know NY is not Trump. I’m very happy to read this. I don’t think this can be pardoned because it’s a state charge, not a federal charge? Get ‘em!

russian mafia doesnt like romanian mafia

"Let them fight!"

[–] Manalith@midwest.social 2 points 8 hours ago

My guess is they're investigating him so they can pardon him. I'm not sure how that system works.

[–] brysmi@lemmy.world 20 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I don’t think this can be pardoned because it’s a state charge, not a federal charge?

SDNY is Federal.

This investigation will be dropped.

stop waiting on the state to deliver justice. DIY

[–] Aganim@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I thought the Trump admin was gonna give him a pass.

Tate's drug-addled mind probably thought the same. Should have looked in the mirror and asked himself if he looks like a rich white man.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 2 points 11 hours ago

Oh don't worry, he has enough followers to afford a trump pardon.

The Tate brothers may have to pay for their crimes in UK and Romania but in the USA they can just buy pardons from Trump. If they give a little extra money to the Orange Demon, they might even get a cabinet post.

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 1 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

Trump can't sell pardon for state crimes. I simply cannot believe that the US is so fucking corrupt that the president selling pardons is an actual fact.

[–] ubergeek@lemmy.today 1 points 3 hours ago

Well, buckle up!

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

He absolutely can if the state governor is one of Trump's little bitches.

[–] The_Caretaker@lemm.ee 1 points 4 hours ago

The Southern District of New York is a federal prosecutors office. These are federal charges.

[–] PoopSpiderman@lemmy.world 321 points 1 day ago (9 children)

So what position will he hold in trump’s cabinet?

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Secretary of Pedophelia

[–] blady_blah@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago

He'll champion women's rights. Trump always picks the worst person for the job.

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 194 points 1 day ago (5 children)
[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 5 points 15 hours ago

centers of human trafficking and exploited children.

I'd pick President Camacho over Trump. Easy choice.

He's also stupid but not mean-spirited, and in the end, he listens to the smarter guy.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 4 points 16 hours ago

Those images are the opposite.

And when is his pardon?

That’s a real funny way to spell “has a job interview with the administration”

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 24 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Well at least they're looking into someone

I just feel like maybe this is conflating lonely men with misogynists, which obviously are not mutually exclusive, but there are plenty of lonely males that aren’t hateful

I'm doubt that will be the case for long. Can't have the DoJ doing its job, now.
