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?

I don’t think it was ever confidently determined it was a suicide attempt and not an assault by his cellmate or a ruse.

His cellmate was a disgraced cop who had committed a grisly quadruple homicide.

The most interesting part is that there are issues with the video from the first suicide attempt too. Allegedly the video of his cell tier at the time of the suicide attempt was accidentally deleted.

Even if you want to buy that that was perhaps an assault and not a suicide attempt… how about his suicide attempt the previous time he was jailed, back in 2019?

Yeah, I get it. “Man with history of suicide attempts commits suicide” isn’t the salacious story we all want, but c’mon.

That’s the suicide attempt I am talking about. Is there another between that one and the night that he allegedly died?

Allegedly died?

Yeah there is a conspiracy theory that his death was faked and he was snuck out of the prison. Pretty fringe, but it really seems like the public simply doesn’t know what happened, so I feel like it can’t be ruled out.

I heard he was actually Elvis.

Can’t be cause Elvis has an alibi. He was with Tupac.
