    I like how you vehemently insist you know what paraphrasing is and then follow that by using examples that prove you clearly have no understanding of it. Is this the most complicated troll job ever?
    You’re all over the goddamn place dude, you’re a mess. I’m done talking to you.

    Exactly right. It's a simple as this, if you're going to make an assertion be prepared to back it up. Do not require the reader to prove that your assertion is false. My God, we'd be here all day trying to disprove a ton of false assertions.

    You are buying into the ridiculous conspiracy that Epstein killed himself.

    Billionaires don't kill themselves.

    And Epstein didn't kill himself.

    Dominic Green: Prince Andrew allegations could be 'biggest royal scandal since Edward VIII palled around with Nazis'
    By Charles Creitz | Fox News

    The friendship between Prince Andrew and the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein could set off a royal scandal of a magnitude not seen since World War II, according to British columnist and editor Dominic Green.

    Green, the life and arts editor for Spectator USA, told "The Story" on Thursday that Andrew's widely-criticized BBC interview about his relationship with Epstein and the Duke of York being "essentially fired" from royal duties by his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, could spell trouble for the 59-year-old.

    When asked about reports that Prince Charles had lobbied the Queen to move his younger brother out of the limelight, Green said: "I can absolutely believe that."

    Green said the FBI wants to speak with Andrew as a witness in its ongoing investigations against Epstein, and that the royal has been "completely unable to exculpate himself."

    "This has the makings of the biggest royal scandal since Edward VIII palled around with the Nazis," he said.
    Green added it is possible that Andrew could try and hold another interview with the media in hopes of negating the blowback from the first interview.

    The writer remarked that Andrew has largely been a "spare part" in the British royal apparatus for many years and that his day-to-day activities have gone under the radar compared to that of his mother, elder brother Charles and nephews William and Harry.

    Edward VIII ascended to the throne in January 1936 following the death of his father, George V. However, he served less than a year in that role choosing to abdicate in order to marry twice-divorced American socialite Wallis Simpson. His younger brother, George VI, became king -- and was succeeded by daughter Queen Elizabeth II.

    Months after Edward's abdication, he and Simpson went on a tour of Germany, where they met Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler and were photographed giving Nazi salutes.

    “They became very close to Hitler,” British journalist Andrew Morton previously told Fox News. “[Edward] sympathized with Hitler. And even after the war, even after all the horrors of the concentration camps, he said to people at dinner parties, ‘Hitler wasn’t such a bad chap.’"

    Horowitz reportedly finds FBI lawyer falsified FISA data; WaPo stealth-deletes Strzok connection

    Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz has found evidence that an FBI lawyer manipulated a key investigative document related to the FBI's secretive surveillance of a former Trump campaign adviser -- enough to change the substantive meaning of the document, according to multiple reports.

    The show-stopping development comes as Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told Fox News that Horowitz's comprehensive report on allegations of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant abuse against former Trump campaign aide Carter Page will be released on Dec. 9. "That's locked," Graham said.

    The new evidence concerning the altered document, which was related to the FBI's FISA court warrant application to surveil Page, is expected to be outlined in Horowitz's upcoming report. CNN first reported the news, which was largely confirmed by The Washington Post.

    The Post, hours after publishing its story, conspicuously removed the portion of its reporting that the FBI employee involved was underneath Peter Strzok, the FBI's since-fired head of counterintelligence. The Post did not offer an explanation for the change, which occurred shortly after midnight. Earlier this week, the DOJ highlighted a slew of anti-Trump text messages sent by Strzok when he was leading the Hillary Clinton email investigation and the probe into the Trump campaign.

    Horowitz reportedly found that the FBI employee who modified the FISA document falsely stated that he had "documentation to back up a claim he had made in discussions with the Justice Department about the factual basis" for the FISA warrant application, the Post reported. Then, the FBI employee allegedly "altered an email" to substantiate his inaccurate version of events. The employee has since been forced out of the bureau.

    FBI AGENTS MANIPULATED FLYNN FILE, AS CLAPPER ORDERED 'KILL SHOT,' FILING SAYS

    Sources told Fox News last month that U.S. Attorney John Durham's separate, ongoing probe into potential FBI and Justice Department misconduct in the run-up to the 2016 election through the spring of 2017 has transitioned into a full-fledged criminal investigation -- and that Horowitz's report will shed light on why Durham's probe has become a criminal inquiry.

    Republicans have long argued that the FBI's alleged FISA abuses, which came as the bureau aggressively pursued ultimately unsubstantiated claims of criminal links between the Trump team and Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign, were politically motivated. In recent months, a slew of unearthed documents have strengthened those claims.

    Just nine days before the FBI applied for its FISA warrant to surveil Page, bureau officials were battling with a senior Justice Department official who had "continued concerns" about the "possible bias" of a source pivotal to the application, according to internal text messages previously obtained by Fox News.

    The 2016 messages, sent between Lisa Page and then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, also revealed that bureau brass circulated at least two anti-Trump blog articles, including a Lawfare blog post sent shortly after Election Day that called Trump possibly "among the major threats to the security of the country."

    Fox News is told the texts were connected to the ultimately successful Page application, which relied in part on information from British ex-spy Christopher Steele – whose anti-Trump views are now well-documented – and cited Page’s suspected Russia ties. In its warrant application, the FBI assured the FISA court on numerous occasions that other sources independently corroborated Steele's claims but did not clearly state that Steele worked for a firm hired by Hillary Clinton's campaign.

    Page has not been charged with any wrongdoing despite more than a year of federal surveillance, and he has since sued numerous actors -- including the Democratic National Committee (DNC) -- for defamation related to claims that he worked with Russia.

    "OI [Office of Intelligence] now has a robust explanation re any possible bias of the chs [confidential human source] in the package," Lisa Page wrote to McCabe on Oct. 12, 2016. "Don't know what the holdup is now, other than Stu's continued concerns."

    It's unclear whether the confidential source in question was Steele or another individual. "Stu" was an apparent reference to Stuart Evans, then the DOJ's National Security Division deputy assistant attorney general. In one previously unearthed and since-unredacted text message, Strzok texted Page that he was "Currently fighting with Stu for this FISA" in late 2016.

    Page is not the only Trump official to allege misconduct by the FBI. Last month, an explosive court filing from Michael Flynn’s legal team alleged that FBI agents manipulated official records of the former national security adviser’s 2017 interview that led to him being charged with lying to investigators. Flynn's attorneys demanded the FBI search its internal "Sentinel" system to find more evidence of allegedly doctored files.

    Newly released text messages involving text messages between Strzok and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page revealed that Page -- who was not present for the Flynn interview -- had apparently made "edits" to the so-called "302" witness report in the case, which was key to Flynn's prosecution on a false statements charge. Page told Strzok on February 10, 2017 that she “gave my edits to Bill to put on your desk.”

    Horowitz told congressional lawmakers in an October letter that his investigation and ensuing report were nearing their conclusion.

    The "lengthy" draft report "concerns sensitive national security and law enforcement matters," Horowitz wrote in the letter, adding that he anticipated "the final report will be released publicly with few redactions."

    Horowitz noted that he did not anticipate a need to prepare or issue "separate classified and public versions of the report."

    "After we receive the final classification markings from the Department and the FBI, we will then proceed with our usual process for preparing a final report, including ensuring that appropriate reviews occur for accuracy and comment purposes," Horowitz wrote in the letter. "Once begun, we do not anticipate the time for that review to be lengthy."

    How about showing your proof? It will be hard for you, since you're trying to prove a negative, that he wasn't murdered.

    Absolutely. Okay, were you there? Now would be a good time for you to show your pictures of the suicide. You ARE prepared to back it up, aren't you?

    Billionaires kill themselves when faced with a life of eating and living with cockroaches, no life outside of steel bars, wearing prison garb, eating crap food and having your butt used as a playground by the biggest and baddest and no young girls to even look at.
    What good is his money in a filthy, dreary, depressing prison full of the kind of noises constantly made by low level bad guys, duties such as cleaning toilets and mopping the floor and a bunk mate from hell?

    I'm sure he would have been completely unable to bribe himself to a tolerable living situation.

    Not usually able to bribe although it does sometimes happen. When it happens someone usually gets caught and it's all over the news making people think it's a regular occurrence.

    The two guards are now rejecting a plea deal and denying any wrongdoing. The state wanted them to accept the lesser charges of falsifying documents and publicly admit accountability, according to those close to the case.

    I heard they were shopping for new motorcycles on the internet instead of watching the prisoners. It's almost like they knew they were suddenly coming into large amounts of money.

    I read that they were shopping for motorcycles and furniture, but honestly hadn’t thought of it from that angle. It’s notable, if anything. I could almost see it being a comedy sketch.

    It seems if it were little ol’ me against the State of New York I’d probably want to hop on the first safe plea deal, especially if I was actually guilty of the neglect of duty and falsification of records I was charged with. It will be interesting to hear their side of the story.
