The reaction from the online fever swamps was predictable enough. Jeffrey Epstein, the well-connected financier accused of underage sex trafficking, was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell early this morning, just one day after unsealed court documents surfaced new allegations against him and his high-powered inner circle.
The reported cause of death was suicide—but the conspiracy-mongers were already springing into action.
Within hours, #EpsteinMurder was trending on Twitter, as was #TrumpBodyCount (where liberals speculated that the president had offed his former friend),

The author of this article is of the dishonest ilk that happily and guiltlessly implies that Trump was more deeply linked to Epstein than Clinton.
Coppins is 100% certified Fake News.
In this entire sordid story of Epstein there is literally in all the decades a singular famous figure who has ever called Epstein out, and that is our current President. It is no small coincidence that Epstein was finally arrested for his crimes on Trump's watch.

Just because its a conspiracy theory does not mean there is no conspiracy. In this case, as with all cases with the Clintons, it is highly probable. Epstein's insurance policies ultimately led to his murder. Hopefully they will lead to the Clintons too, though probably not. Their pals in the FBI have almost certainly altered or destroyed the evidence by now.

If there was a conspiracy, then it's no theory; it's truth. Anyone who thinks that Epstein killed himself needs to walk around the block a couple of times and take a look at the world around them.

I am just a voice sputtering around in the wilderness, but I believe that given nothing at all in ordinary suicide accoutrements, a suicide can still be completed. Desperate and despondent political and religious prisoners have managed to do it with some regularity through the ages. Having said that, I agree that this particular case, with its multitude of unlikely coincidences, was likely a murder.

If the writer and other fakers out there truly believed PDT was more connected to Epstein than Clinton, they would be outraged at Epstein's murder. Would they be conspiracy theorists? I bet not. They are trying to poo-poo the obvious, take the heat off the leftist creeps who are still shaking in their boats, planes, island digs, and nasty beds, and slightly blame PDT to throw off the ignorant masses . . . AGAIN! It's what they always do.

The Atlantic (sort of) defends a pedophile. Since no one knows exactly what happened I’m glad the Atlantic is there to tell us. Disgusting and dishonest, in that order.

The way to stop rumors is for the Warden to get out and make an official statement. She is responsible and we need to hear from her. Old school people hold the Captain's feet to the fire when the ship goes down. MSM appears to print nothing but supposition instead of basic background info on the warden. Is it possible we have a failure in leadership here?

My 11 years, from 1984 through 1995 as a correctional officer in a men's State Penitentiary (New Mexico) taught me how utterly incompetent most correctional facilities really are. Yes, I condemn the whole institution. Why? Because they are impossible to run. Perhaps, they never were operable as incarceration facilities. It might just be that incarcerating human beings successfully by other human beings is just not even possible. People fail the system all the time. Inmates are clever and game the system. The huge number of escapes from institutions every year shows really how incompetent they are. However, the Epstein suicide will be proven to be just that - nothing but another inside suicide that means nothing except how incompetent these high-priced facilities really are. People will rail and rant about it for decades, like Vince Foster and Seth Rich - But, in the end, nothing will change. More rules will be invented to only make prisons more complex to operate, more expensive. But, truly, nothing is going to change except to make incarceration facilities ever harder and more expensive to run.

Unless your brains are made of oatmeal, who wouldn't question the circumstances surrounding his death?
I never read anything in The Atlantic because it is always totally left and dishonest (this initial paragraph is enough for me), but if the person who wrote this piece does not question the circumstances surrounding the man's death, then i have to question whether he or she (don't know the author) ever took a course in critical thinking.

As the old saying goes, when you find a turtle on a fence post, you don't question how the turtle managed to climb up there. You wonder who put it there. Epstein was such bad news for so many powerful people that it would be difficult to believe that someone did not have him killed. This is further compounded by the coincidences that had to happen to allow suicide. The guards not coming by, the cancellation of the suicide watch, the multiple cameras that suddenly malfunctioned. The fact that he should have had no usable materials with which to hang himself. Those that want us to us to willingly suspend our disbelief and wipe our minds of reason 'like with a cloth' are the wild theorists.

At this point, I'm not even sure that he's dead. He could just be "gone."
We've heard some of these explanations before. Different place / same story. Remember the well-timed malfunctioning CCTVs at the mass shooting in Vegas? Security guards working overtime? Heard that, too.
I keep going back to those cameras. They were off for a reason. But I'm not sure they were off so Epstein could kill himself. Wouldn't he have WANTED his friends to see that it's over? His unsealed papers had already been exposed. Nothing more is coming from him. Wouldn't he have WANTED the cameras to be on?
So WHY would those cameras be off?
Death by suicide, nah. Why? The papers are already out there.
Murder? Could be. Plenty of highly motivated people running around in the highest places. Remember the questionable intoxicated chauffeur and the London tunnel car crash.
Not dead? Just moved? Hmmm.

Official News is only what those in charge want us to think ! #fakenews on daily basis tends to twist our perspective on real or not..

I am sorry, but these Conspiracy theorists should hang their heads in shame for supporting this dastardly man.
