There's a reason she was convicted and went to jail.
And that same reason is why Trump and his admin are trying very hard to whitewash and downplay her crimes.
The statement Epstein "killed himself" used in the article has still never been proven adequately. He was on suicide watch (found partially conscious just months beforehand, again no evidence it was by his own hands) and moved to another more secure cell - and there were four cameras pointed toward his cell that would have provided valuable evidence, two were 'accidentally deleted' and one was also lost as its video provided to investigators was 'accidentally' from the wrong section of the jail that looked identical, the original correct video deleted in the meantime before this accident was identified ('oh gosh, whoopsie again'). The guards have been prosecuted for lying to investigators about their whereabouts during his death and falaifying claims he was checked on the mandated schedule.
Sure are a lot of 'accidental' evidence deletions, false evidence, and lying guards in this story to take the Trump-admin led investigation (his fucking co-conspirator) at face value. Any genuine investigation would have to say "based on the evidence, cause of death is inconclusive".
And all of it could be attributed to typical jailhouse incompetence/corruption. I wanted to believe it, until the recent email from Epstein to Nasser is which he implicates Trump as another guy who likes nubile young girls like they do. He also opens the email by saying that he's chosen to take the "short route home," seemingly indicating he intended to commit suicide.
If you believe he was murdered, them you can't believe the email in which Epstein flat-out implicates Trump as being the same as him and Nasser.
I want to believe the email, so I choose to believe that Epstein killed himself.
Short route home could have been squealing like a pig.
He could have been simultaneously considering suicide and brutally strangled.
Yeah, based on that email I now think it's more likely that Epstein killed himself but bribed the shit out of the guards in order to be able to do it. It certainly seems to be true that putting Epstein into a jail cell historically looked the same: a rich guy trying to minimise the impact and his accountability of his crimes through bribery ans corruption. I see no reason he wouldm't have done the same here.
I've been paying attention but have not heard about any Epstein email that references himself, Turmp, and Nasser. A brief look through the DoJ portal doesn't cough anything up. Can you provide a link, or tell us more so we can find it ourselves? Thanks.
Epstein Said Trump Shared Love of Young Girls in Apparent Suicide Note
The "grab'em by the pussy" boast seemed like phony bragging at the time, but now it's looking like suddenly grabbing an unsuspecting woman by her crotch is his signature move. Charming.
Of course, the DoJ is now claiming that it's a fake, but nothing in the letter sounds implausible AT ALL, and it sure sounds like the FBI is backpedaling after this finally getting attention, after being out there since 2023.
Oh, right. I knew about the letter, but thought you were talking about an email. Yeah, the letter could go either way, IMO; the most sus thing about it is the good handwriting and perfect spelling, but he had visitors daily, including his legal team, and anyone could have written it for him if his hands were shaking or for whatever reason he wanted to dictate and not write. In addition, the BoP has has possession of it for over six years now and it remains in the DoJ files: if it had ever been credibly proven fake in the feds' own estimation it would have been noted as such at the time. Thanks for your response.
Yeah, I mischaracterized it as an email, probably because I had just read about Prince Amdrew's E-MAIL to Maxwell, inquiring if she currently had any "inappropriate friends" for him.
