FBI and DOJ OIG investigators examining the same video arrived at disparate conclusions.

FBI Memo

OIG Report

This infamous suspect was also killed while in safe and secure government custody: "I'm just a Patsy!"

Mark Epstein, the notorious pedophile's brother, and Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's sinister accomplice, are both convinced Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself, as does a mafioso who was incarcerated in that very cell in the MCC. Below, the orange shape caught on video.

New questions over his murder.

He was arrested and murdered to clean up the loose ends.

In Russia, loose ends are tied up with open windows in tall buildings.

In the US, loose ends are tied up with suicides and shoddy investigations or coroner reports.

If Trump's power can be neutered, and the threat of retaliation recedes, we are going to get new evidence on the Epstein death.

It's funny. I find myself wishing for Trump's death to get us all out of this Hell, but also for the man to live long enough to eat some of what he has sown.

I saw that.

Had to make sure I wasn't watching NCIS or some other show like that.

knowing the dearth of talent for new creations in Hollywood......it may be soon.

Could the orange man be...Trump?

**** USN Secretary John Phelan Flew On Jeffrey Epstein's Plane ****

The first individual with ZERO military experience in recent or all memory to become Navy Secretary was a passenger on board Jeffrey Epstein's plane in 2006. John Phelan, a businessman with no prior military service, was previously the founder and chairman of Rugger Management LLC, a private investment firm he formed in 2022, before being confirmed as secretary of the Navy in March 2025.

Phelan was chosen by the nefarious Trumpf junta to be Navy Secretary to dole out pork-barrel projects and contracts to enrich the Trumpf Crime Family (TCF) and other White House insiders.

So far, none of the Popes, the Obamas, the Bushes, the Bidens, or Bernie Sanders, have appeared in the notorious Epstein files.

Trump had him killed.

Any questions?

*** Howard Lutnick and Jeffrey Epstein Were in Business Together ***

"Good-for-nothing oligarch US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick lied when he said he had "limited interactions" with Jeffrey Epstein, but documents show they were in business together as recently as 2014.

Lutnick and Epstein each signed on behalf of limited liability companies that agreed on 28 Dec 2012 to acquire stakes in a now-shuttered advertising technology company called Adfin, documents released among the so-called Epstein files show.

Epstein and Lutnick's signatures appear on neighboring pages in the contract, with Epstein signing for his Southern Trust Company, Inc. and Lutnick for a limited liability company called CVAFH I. The documents list nine shareholders in total."

Years ago some of my friends attended a synagogue on the Upper East Side, there are some large ones in that neighborhood, and now I'm wondering if Jeffrey Epstein made a lot of his connections through these congregants.

Virginia Giuffre doesn't mention any of the religions of the men who abused her, but the released files show that the vast majority (not all) of Epstein's clients were wealthy Jews.

Similarly, years ago arch goniff Bernie Madoff primarily victimized wealthy Jews in Manhattan and the "Gold Coast" (Great Neck, LI). I was acquainted with the AUSA who prosecuted him. And a PI friend of mine was asked by one of Bernie Madoff's sons to bodyguard him while he was on bond. My PI friend turned down that lucrative job, but was immediately hired by a Madoff victim to somehow find and recover her money.

Like Jeffrey Epstein, Bernie Madoff also lived on the Upper East Side, but I don't know which synagogue he frequented

I wonder if there was a meeting-of-the-minds among those who had the most to lose to decide who, when and how Epstein was going to die.

Or did Trump make the whole decision all by himself?

Trump murdered Epstein. It's exactly the sort of thing he would do. I think that the only folks who don't accept this are MAGA.

In time they will also accept this, and excuse it, because it is exactly the sort of thing they do.

Not sure Trumpy and Trumptilians are capable of pulling it off.

But there are lot powerful people who are and who needed him silenced.

Epstein Cellmate Claims Trump Administration Wanted Pervert Powerbroker Dead'
www.yahoo.com

... Jeffrey Epstein's prison cellmate claims to have evidence that the Trump administration wanted the disgraced financier dead and left him unprotected "on purpose," according to a document obtained by the Daily Beast.

Nicholas Tartaglione, a quadruple murderer and former police officer, filed a pardon/commutation petition last summer in which he claimed that Epstein was deliberately exposed to violence in the hope that he would not survive long enough to stand trial.

Prior to Epstein's death on Aug. 10, 2019, which officials ruled a suicide, jail bosses decided that America's most high-profile prisoner should share a cell with an accused mass murderer for reasons that have never been explained.

Tartaglione had a reputation for extreme violence and a self-confessed hatred of child sex offenders. Tartaglione"who Epstein told prison guards had tried to kill him three weeks before he was found dead"claims "it is no coincidence" that he was "deliberately" moved into the same jail as Epstein and "placed in the same cell" as the convicted child sex offender. ...

Epstein was too arrogant to take his own life. IMO, he was murdered.

Forensic pathologists have said there's no way he sustained the injuries he did by hanging himself.

"He's not dead"

That's a bold statement. Are you saying that the doctors (plural) who did the autopsies were compromised?

Somewhere I blundered into this image last year so I was aware of the orange visible from the corner. So many important cameras being down, is just too much for coincidence. Sheets laying around the cell is a bit suspicious as well. Add to it a clumsy investigation, a poorly done coroner's job, it looks like a bad conspiracy setup. But once in a while it isn't conspiracy. Just because you think they are after you, doesn't mean you are wrong.

Sometime before Epstein's death, Ghislaine made the comment that Epstein wasn't prone to suicide, though it was worded a bit differently. Then came the suicide watch, followed later by his death. Almost like she suspected something would happen to him. There were reports that the injury did not match the stated cause of death.

Personally I think he had too much evidence on too many powerful people and one or more of them decided he should be taken off the board.

BBQ

In addition to the fact that there was a possible plea bargain in the works.

As soon as that news came out haste would have been imperative.

That's a bold statement. Are you saying that the doctors (plural) who did the autopsies were compromised?

I'm saying "where there's a will there's a way" and I do not believe for one second that Israel would allow one of its most important deep state assets to either kill himself or be killed in a jail cell half a world away.

#21 Yes they would because he had outlived his usefulness.

Yup. The time for Bibi or the Mossad to rescue their deep state asset was when the winds of prosecution began swirling.

Ghislaine Maxwell found Virginia Giuffre in Australia four years after she escaped them and asked her if she was called by the FBI.

The Mossad abandoned both Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell because their usefulness as blackmailers and influence agents was done.

And why would the Mossad want to be associated with notorious pedophiles?

"Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were very well compensated for services rendered to Israel and now we owe these two shameful dibbuks nothing."

David Barnea
Director of the "Institute"
(The Mossad)

@#21 ... that Israel would allow one of its most important deep state assets ...

I thought he may have been a Russian asset?

Poland to probe possible links between Epstein and Russia, PM Tusk says
www.reuters.com

"I thought he may have been a Russian asset?"

That's Hasbara talk. Total disinformation. See youtu.be

What is in the Epstein files is evidence Epstein tried to schmooze the Russians; no the other way round. And there is nothing to suggest he was successful.

@#25 ... That's Hasbara talk. Total disinformation. ...

Is it?

I noted that he may have been a Russian asset. Not that he was one.

Why is Poland so curious about that aspect?

What might they know that is not in the Epstein files, or that has been redacted in the Epstein files?

I wish I knew.

But, at this point, considering the extreme [understatement] redaction of the half of the Epstein files that have been released so far, I'm trying to not form definitive opinions.

"Why is Poland so curious about that aspect?"

Because Poland hates Russia the way Trump hates black people.
Historically, Russia treats Poland like Trump treats teenage girls.

@#27

Yeah, while that may be true, I still wonder why Poland officially has started that investigation.

What was the spark behind the smoke?

LAMP

Maybe Poland is just taking a precaution to make sure none of those sparks behind the smoke were from Poland.

Epstein ran a world wide web of influential associates, some of whom were dumb enough to get lured into his blackmail scheme vis-a-vis photographs with nubile young girls.

Who's to say a businessman from Poland didn't land in the trap.

LAMP

I don't question Poland's interest.

All of the Epstein files haven't been released yet and all of the redacted names haven't been un-redacted. Plus, all of the remaining files in DOJ's possession are probably the most incriminating batch the Trump administration desperately fears the most.

If Russia ever heard about a link, they'd use it to eviscerate Poland by the roots.

**** UK PM Keir Starmer's Chief of Staff Resigns ****

"Morgan McSweeney, Keir Starmer's chief of staff, has quit his role as the PM's closest aide and longtime ally amid anger over the appointment of Peter Mandelson as US ambassador.

The senior No 10 adviser's position had grown increasingly untenable as pressure on the prime minister mounted over the scandal, which followed the release of emails underlining the extent of Mandelson's ongoing relationship with the convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

McSweeney resigned on Sunday, saying he took "full responsibility" for advising Starmer to appoint Mandelson, who had been a close ally and political mentor. He said the decision had undermined trust in Labor, the country and politics itself so it was the "honorable course" for him to go."

Looks like I was off the mark in #25.
Extremely in depth read on Epstein's connections to Russia.

The Cesspool and Chaos: the Russian Connection in the Epstein Affair
Francoise Thom
July 30, 2025

"Epstein was thus feeding the Kremlin strategies to counter the economic war waged by the West."

"The U.S. Senate Finance Committee reviewed part of a confidential Treasury Department file on Epstein. The file shows that Epstein used several Russian banks, now under sanctions, to process payments related to his sex trafficking network. A significant number of his victims came from Russia, Belarus, and other East European countries, establishing a direct financial link between his criminal enterprise and financial institutions in the region. The scale of the transactions is staggering: one of his bank accounts alone recorded 4,725 transfers totaling nearly $1.1 billion, representing thousands of potential leads for investigation."

"For Yuri Shvetz, a KGB defector who was one of the first to show how Epstein's network had converged with that of the FSB, Pozhidaeva's case is clear: "How could someone as smart and educated as Pozhidaeva become a women's rights activist while possibly seeking the support of Jean-Luc Brunel and Jeffrey Epstein, who led and participated in human trafficking and the rape of underage girls for more than two decades?" There is only one explanation. She was an agent infiltrated with the help of Jeffrey Epstein to penetrate "the American network linked to supercomputers and artificial intelligence." Shvetz recalls that Putin considers artificial intelligence, supercomputers, and control of advanced information technology to be the most crucial national security issue for Russia, "as essential to the survival of his regime as the atomic bomb was to Stalin." "Seventeen thousand Russian computer scientists work in the United States, and many of them are linked to Russian intelligence services"brilliant people who have been employed by Apple, Microsoft, and other companies for years.""

"The Wall Street Journal reports that Epstein arranged meetings in 2006 between Peter Thiel and the Russian ambassador to the United Nations, Vitaly Churkin. Three days after Churkin's death, Epstein sent this email to Peter Thiel: "My friend the Russian Ambassador is dead. Life is short, let's start with dessert.""
