    I find myself agreeing with you again 100% (it feels odd, right? ).

    I don’t disagree it was suspicious. But I don’t see how either side D or R can say it was done by the other side. Both sides had reason to want him dead. Most notably and recently our boy Don.

    Epstein had a long history of say....his version of Dancing with the Stars with his own ratpack...own pimp....NY is a mob town...I won't assume it was political...won't assume it's not...but thanks for the breakdown on New York City prison ethics...you could be right. You got me on my stereotypical snark about pedophiles in prison.....! Honestly, I've never been in the prison....yet given the current climate....it HAS to be political, right? Couldn't be a pissed off ex mob boyfriend of one of his yacht cheerleaders or the fact that the guy might have just killed himself....speculation....that thing that never happens around here

    This stereotype I wouldn't agree with. There are some who just cut and paste editorials but my snark is purely conversational

    Oh Im not saying I think it’s political for sure. Although, like you said, it could be. I definitely don’t think it’s a partisan issue. I think it’s a matter of powerful people, whether politicians, businessmen, royalty, organized crime, etc. being put in a tough spot by this guy. Any number of those people have the clout to make someone disappear, I truly believe that. Especially if there was a concerted effort between any of those factions. And there is a lot of talk (I don’t know how much is substantiated given the fact nobody wants to admit associating with the him) of Epstein using his knowledge to actively and aggressively blackmail prominent people for the gain of himself and those close to him. That, to me, is about the most likely type of person to get whacked.
    In the case of Epstein, I would actually go as far as saying foul play is the the most likely scenario when you look at all the circumstances. When one dead guy=countless powerful people getting let off the hook, someone’s gonna die.

    If some powerful people sent a cleaner to deal with Epstein it wouldn't surprise me. It also wouldn't surprise me if he killed himself knowing that this was going to happen. I believe he went to Rikers Island prison which has one of the worst records of protecting prisoners around. Didn't they fire two guards for neglect? If they were paid to look the other way they've probably got more money than being a prison guard could make in several lifetimes. Punishment being they can no longer be prison guards but they can live beyond well in exile.

    Yeah the other scenario is that he wanted to kill himself and they allowed it. I mean, even according to the official narrative that’s basically what happened, even though they word it to make it sound like he outwitted the guards and pulled off some MacGyver move to kill himself.

    Also, the facility he was in was the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan. The most recent successful suicide to take place there (before Epstein) was in the late 70’s.

    Nice try, but he died in a federal prison - those are run by your pals Bill Barr and Donald Trump.
