FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said on Fox News Thursday morning that he is certain Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender, died by suicide while in federal custody — and there is video that supports it.

"There is nothing in the file at this point on the Epstein case — and there is going to be a disclosure on this coming shortly... there is video. That is something the public does not know," Bongino said in an interview on Fox & Friends.

Bongino clarified that the video in question does not show the "actual act" but proves that Epstein was the only person who came in or out of his cell on the night he died, on August 10, 2019.

Oh my god......I wonder if I could find someone selling a collection on ebay. This is ABSOLUTELY it.

My mom would never buy it. She kept telling me how it was fake. Yeah. I know. I wasn't trying to buy actual news. I wanted crazy shit.

I bet SOMEONE is selling these.

It was at least kinder, humorous and creative. The National Enquirer which is packed with made up stuff designed to hurt and exploit people.

The bat boy stuff always astounded me at the grocery store.

I miss this kind of conspiracy theory/crazy subculture. Innocent and fun.

Like Bigfoot isn’t real, but I would be happy if he was. Bigfoot still lets you be around the kinds of people who are far off the beaten path, but you don’t get the disgusting racism/sexism/harmful insanity that we’re getting with the current lot of crazies.
