I'm telling you up front, don't be surprised when I pardon Bondi, Maxwell and any of my fellow perverts that participated in the Epstein crime wave in addition to those that have been or are currently committing crimes on my behalf. I'm telling this to you now so you keep your mouths shut and stop worrying about me dying before I sign off on your pardons.
