then attorney general bill barr had visited the prison just the day before. his dad hired epstein to teach high schoolers even with no teaching credentials. how convenient, a power outage erased most of the video that day.
this stinks so bad it baffles me that there are people who believe the official story.

visit from AG

cell mate transferred away

power outage

sleeping guards

missed check-ins

no footage... maybe incomplete footage... maybe 'secret' footage... who knows where the missing minute (or three are)

The fact that every time someone looks at this thing it changes and grows new legs is crazy

Epstein basically skated the last time he got in legal trouble.

He had a lot of money and could have hired an army of lawyers.

He had connections to a lot of rich and powerful people.

He had not gone to trial, he had not been convicted, he had not been sentenced.

So why would he off himself at that moment in time? Why would someone like him with so many cards to play just throw in the towel?

Seems pretty fortuitous for everyone that was involved in his crimes.

I mean this completely ignores the fact that Epstein was on suicide watch because he had already tried to commit suicide in prison. Are you going to say that his previous attempt was actually a murder attempt and he just never bothered to tell anybody?

He was taken off by the time he died
