    Well, based on the fact that Trump forced Romanian authorities to give the Tate brothers their passports back and allow them to return to the US, I wouldn’t be surprised if he decides to step in and protect Russell Brand too. He’s a passionate defender of rapists (being one himself) and sex traffickers (having been BFFs with Epstein).

      The Tate brothers thing was a bizarre one though. Soon as they landed in Florida they were being investigated again by US authorities and then they immediately hopped on a plane back to Romania.

        Yeah but knowing those two they probably have multiple investigations in multiple states, ironically Trump has arguably more ability to influence foreign governments than a lot of the states. So if they did get charges slapped onto them by any one state they’d probably be cooked, especially since it’d be an easy win for any governor to chuck a pair of rapists to the wolves.
