One could note that, since this man was arrested and so far none of the folks named in the Epstein files have been, they consider speaking for a few seconds past the allotted time to be a worse crime than sexually abusing children for decades.

When the president does it, that means it's not illegal.

I think we already knew that they consider criticism worse than raping children. They thing everything is worse than raping children. They think raping children is an enjoyable hobby.

Have you ever seen a chart like this, that look at the 3 stages of matter, based on temperature and pressure?

The propensity for a crime to lend you arrested is proportional to its gravity, like higher temperature on the chart being proportional to water turning gaseous.

But then how wealthy you are is like pressure: it completely pushes the boiling (arresting) point away...

Idk if it's a good analogy, I'm tired
