I'm not dismissing the idea that it was suicide, it may well have been.
What I AM saying is that this is veeeeery convenient for a helluva lot of powerful and well connected people who would surely have been crapping themselves that Epstein would roll over on them. His death is a gift from Heaven for them, and exactly what they would have been hoping for.
There is still a lot of documentary evidence in the possession of the Feds. Hopefully, that will name names, but if that evidence suddenly goes missing, then I have little doubt that we will have a full blown cover up on our hands.
ETA: And for the avoidance of doubt, much as I despise Donald Trump, I do not believe he was in any way involved in Epstein's depraved activities.
That said, Epstein and his girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell ran an organization that trafficked minors for sex across three continents for over 25 years. In addition to that he also appears to have built his fortune on ponzi schemes.
Set aside his untimely death for a moment and one must admit Epstein was at the center of a highly successful CONSPIRACY (that's what the Federal charge is). This should be treated as an opportunity to get a close look at how the real thing is done. We're talking about a man with considerable money with equally wealthy "friends", and friends in high places.
The Feds issued a statement saying that they are not dropping the case and are asking for more witnesses, and victims to come forward.
Good riddance.![]()
I have a hard time believing that a rich man with a seemingly lot of info to cut a legal deal with would just kill himself in a very painful way at this early stage.
Betting the interwebz gonna be lousy with them right quick

I have trouble here.
To me, and it may not be rational, but in this instance I definitely can see the possibility, even probability of a conspiracy to quiet him.
No, not because of a hatred of Trump or Clinton.
Lots of powerful people had reason.
Now, there's supposed to be a lot of material apart from testimony thats available.
I hope so.
I see as more likely the guy killed himself out of humiliation and shame, like a lot of people who commit suicide behind bars.
I have one word for you - Ivanka.The Trump-Epstein deals should be investigated, but I don't see a lot of indication that Trump would be particularly interested in underage girls- women are a status symbol for him, something to be displayed. What's the point of having sex with a 15 year old when you can't brag about?
[ctmode]...............how do we know he's actually DEAD. It may be a fake suicide to allow him to go into a wealthy and hidden 'retirement' far far away.....[/ctmode]
Even our president believes in conspiracy theories.
I have one word for you - Ivanka.
Ivanka is a status symbol without having to be a romantic interest.
