Subject: Re: Why does Trump free these scumbags?
Charming fellows. And they have lots of support from the Trump administration and others on the right. What a disgusting, immoral and corrupt administration. I wonder how someone like LM, who portrays herself as a moral person can possibly support this regime.

More from the article:

“It’s not just about picking up girls,” Mr. Tate said in an interview posted to YouTube. “It’s about converting them into really loving you enough to moving in with you and working for you and giving you all the money.”

Both brothers had run-ins with the British police. Tristan was arrested in 2014 after a woman reported he had assaulted her.

The next year, Andrew was arrested three times, the police said. One woman who had worked for him said in court documents that he strangled her during sex; another said he had raped, beaten and pulled a gun on her; a third woman said he had raped and strangled her while they were dating.

The scandal boosted his fame, especially on social media, where he became a fierce supporter of Mr. Trump. Donald Trump Jr. liked one of his supportive Twitter posts and they soon agreed to meet, Mr. Tate recalled on a podcast. He went to Trump Tower in 2017.

“We still inbox each other every couple of days,” Mr. Tate said on the podcast, in 2018.
.......
Once she arrived, he raped her twice, on one occasion forcing her into group sex, the indictment said.

Andrew choked another woman so hard that blood vessels in her eye burst, prosecutors said.

Then Tucker Carlson and Charlie Kirk decided to sponsor him.

Mr. Carlson misrepresented the criminal allegations in Romania, saying that they involved no sex crimes or violence, or any actions that could be considered trafficking.
.......
“Now I see why he’s popular,” Mr. Kirk said on his podcast.
.........
Don Jr. showed support, too. “You’ve got people attacking you as far as I’m concerned,” he told Mr. Tate in a June 2024 conversation live-streamed on X, the renamed Twitter platform. “They just want to silence you.”
......
Paul Ingrassia, who was initially named White House liaison to the Justice Department, had once been part of the Tates’ legal team. Alina Habba, a counselor to the president who would later serve a brief stint as New Jersey’s top prosecutor, told Andrew on a podcast in January that “I got your back over here.”
