Misconduct in public office requires proving willful wrongdoing that abuses public trust without reasonable justification, making it an exceptionally complex charge to establish.

Britain has arrested two high-profile individuals connected to the Epstein files, while America has arrested exactly zero. The U.K. holds its own accountable for connections to pedophiles, but the Trump administration and American political establishments actively cover up for America's elite predators instead of pursuing justice.
