Somebody really really needs to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's death.

My recollection is first they said he was under suicide watch so they had 2 guards watching him but the guards fell asleep. Plus, they said the video failed and didn't work for some reason. Now they are saying there is a video, but there is a minute missing from the video. They say the minute missing is because the recording re-sets every night at 11:58 causing the minute to be lost.

They also said there were "Epstein files" including a client list. Even recently Pam Bondi said she had the "files" and the client list on her desk waiting for her review. Now they are saying there are no files or client list.

Somewhere in my recollection, I am not sure, it seems a fire occurred on Epstein's island that pretty much burnt the place up.

Yesterday the orange one couldn't help himself and complained when a reporter asked about the client list.

Are we really this blind? Really!!!

She predicted he'd commit suicide the minute he was arrested. It's apparently very, very common among public figures who are arrested for the kinds of things Epstein did.

I'm thus not inclined to suspect some sort of conspiracy to silence him.

That itself would have had to be enabled. He was under 24/7 suicide watch. His guards were fired for not paying attention.

I've always thought that Epstein himself paid his guards to let him kill himself, but now I wonder.

Trumpco is obviously lying about this so that makes me take a closer look.

But according to my wife (who's dealt with clients on suicide watches), those watches are surprisingly easy to circumvent. Much depends on how much those involved in the watch actually care.

I fully agree that a more detailed investigation is needed. And if there was a conspiracy, those behind it should be held accountable. But I'm not holding my breath that such a conspiracy will be discovered.

Is how much he paid to have the guards be asleep while the camera was “malfunctioning.”

His suicide seems entirely mundane and plausible otherwise.

sure what the outcome will be. Why didn't he commit suicide the first time he was arrested and locked up. He made a deal and got out. Why the he'll would he not expect to get another deal again? The case was just getting started. There was no reason to do that so early in the process.

People will buy anything.

She had a tendency to be quite vocal and she always referred to herself as the First Lady.

That we had some people called Journalists who would dig into stuff like this. They are a lost breed that is now concerned with kissing orange diapered ass not helping mankind.

Maybe congressional hearings? State level investigations?

Nobody on the left is falling for their BS, but I would hope at least a few on the right would want to know what they are hiding.
