Did stinky smother Epstein with his diaper?

By the by, that is what is known as a "headline triumph." Kudos!

Mysterious orange blob? We all knew Trump killed him but I didn't think he'd do it personally.

It's plausible to think that he wanted to watch.

This is true.

Now I see why they didn't want to share the video.

Their security cameras are basically worthless. And they prove nothing either way.

The video doesn't even show Epstein's cell door.

He could have been killed several times that night because the cameras were not able to detect monitor or determine anything.

In addition the meta data shows there is clear evidence that that they were edited for whatever reason.

Can anybody REALLY blame Epstein for committing suicide (if that was the case)?

Whatever he had left of his life was going to turn into living Hell in prison. In fact, the worst kind of living Hell you can imagine.

I've heard tell that even the most hardened criminals in the prison population would treat those of Epstein's ilk like vermin or worse . . . maybe give him a taste of his own medicine.

His son said that his father was looking forward to fighting for his freedom. I mean, he's pretty much slipped this noose (no pun intended) before.

No, I think that the man was murdered. That people think this has reached Trump, who is flipping out that people think he did it.

He's the perfect, most logical suspect. I think that the full Epstein files will make his motivations for murder very evident.

My belief this was murder increases each day. I'm pretty much convinced at this point. For instance:

"Metadata embedded in the video and analyzed by WIRED and independent video forensics experts shows that rather than being a direct export from the prison's surveillance system, the footage was modified, likely using the professional editing tool Adobe Premiere Pro. The file appears to have been assembled from at least two source clips, saved multiple times, exported, and then uploaded to the DOJ's website, where it was presented as "raw" footage."

We know the video is not 'raw' video. We know the excuse Bondi gave was a lie.

"It looks suspicious"but not as suspicious as the DOJ refusing to answer basic questions about it."

ZED and YAV

Actually, I agree with both of you. If ever anyone had a motive and the means to eliminate a live witness who was in a position to bargain for a deal that would bring down the final curtain on Donald Trump, the order almost certainly came from the person who had the most to gain.

I just wish there was more evidence that would hold up in court.

Epstein was an entrepreneur, responding to market demands. Big enough market for him to buy his own island.

He's a pimp, and a player. He does not fit easily into the predator trope.

Think of it more like he runs a petting zoo.

"Think of it more like he runs a petting zoo."

(LOL) Offer yourself to Trump's defense team. I think you've got a winner there.

Seriously, do it. Trust me. A jury would eat that stuff up. Honestly. I'd swear on a stack of Trump's bibles.

@#11 ... Think of it more like he runs a petting zoo. ...

While you may seem to be OK to trivialize the damage done to Mr Epstein's victims, I am of a differing opinion.

One of the victims committed suicide this year because of the abuse she suffered.

Mr Epstein and Ms Maxwell committed horrific crimes upon hundreds? of children.

Children.

Please do not make light of that crime.

More like a thousand, but your point stands.

And, how does the transfer of Ms Maxwell to an apparently low-security white-collar crime prison after talking for hours with Pres Trump's personal attorney (who now seems to be the Deputy AG) look?

Mr Blanche, during the confirmation hearings, seemed to indicate that he could not give up his attorney privilege with Pres Trump should he gain the appointment.

So that leads me to ask, when Mr Blanche spent hours talking with Ms Maxwell, was he speaking for the American people, as a Deputy AG should do, or was he speaking as a defense lawyer of Pres Trump? The answers he gave during his confirmation hearing aise doubts in my mind.

Of course, that question ignores a critical issue here ...

Why was the Deputy AG of the US, who did not know the dteails of the case, even conducting these two interviews?
