“Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.” ― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
'Patel is so useless'....was the plan all along. Trump doesn't want an independent, functional FBI. He wants to make it his personal goon sqad, so that it's not a threat to his regime or a threat to all his friend's grifting and criming.
Jeffrey Epstein, at least in BBC news, is referred to as an international child trafficker directly in front page news and not a “financier” or whatever they’re trying to spin
What do you mean *useless*? He deflected yet again.... Oh, there is use for belligerent people. They can always be used as bad examples of what not to do
They’re trying to push the narrative that Maxwell did the trafficking while Epstein was just a closeted pervert so the stink of child rapist doesn’t get back to Trump.
Just got done with “Fluke”(again). Halfway through “Bloodsucking Fiend”now and I have Lamb(2nd time) in Que. I really needed some lighthearted storytelling to escape stuff….
No, the official narrative is he trafficked these girls strictly for himself. If that were true (and it isn't, but I'm saying IF it were) then he still would have been facing life in prison.
He was a rich white man in America who hadn't even gotten anywhere *near* a trial yet, let alone been convicted and sentenced. There's no way he would have killed himself that early on in the proceedings, when he would have known full well he had almost 100% chance of walking away without a shred of punishment.
I don't follow any of those theories... but... somebody myst have told him that if he didn't off himself then something worse would happen. Someone that can tell two fed prison guards to give the guy on suicide watch clean sheets, not mind a disabled security camera, take a three hour nap, and skip wellness checks. If it were merely a matter of him killing himself, he wouldn't have been able to do it. That's what suicide watch is for.
Your first hint that this is a deranged conspiracy theory is that you had to make up a bunch of bullshit out of whole cloth.
He was no longer in intensive suicide watch, which is round the clock. They only keep patients on that for a couple of days, because more than that can make the problem worse. But maybe your wild guess is right and psychologists are wrong. Try and experiment: Keep the lights on for three days while strapped to a bed, and every 15 minutes, someone checks your vitals.

Likely 20 senators are on the list. That's why there's a cover-up in Congress. Epstein knew who to invite to his rape island to gain power.

so since he is lying... to congress... arrest him?

But did you know that his victims were women and girls?! Still think it’s credible??? /s

So why was Trump an informant as Johnson claimed?
smegheadenergy
Because Nazis are fucking stupid when it comes to lying. Fuck Trump. Fuck Nazis. Fuck business daddy
youstupidpoop
Johnson retracted that statement

Possibly Trump turned him in to shut him up: https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/is-this-the-hidden-part-of-the-trump-epstein-drama

he's fired up because he was never invited to the incidents that created this issue.

I can’t deny that not being invited to parties is a reason I would also not like certain people or be harsher towards them than others

Also, for some reason, we’ll allow the primary suspect to have his personal lawyer offer a cell at a cushy private resort jail for wealthy people

ghislaine maxwell was convicted of sex trafficking but there is no credible evidence against epstein?

she trafficked all the girls to herself clearly! (also, a whole island for pedophiles and the only one with charges is a woman)

Can he hurry that up, please? 'Cos right now he's doing *great* at uselessly doing his part to keep The List from being released.

They’re trying to push the narrative that Maxwell did the trafficking while Epstein was just a closeted pervert so the stink of child rapist doesn’t get back to Trump.

There’s not gonna be a finish line for this unless they’re able to point it towards the left and the hypocrisy sticks.

I’ve read almost everything he’s written, I’m a big fan.

I highly recommend Anima Rising if you haven’t already, I thought it was almost as funny as Fool

Oh I haven’t read that one! I just put it in my que. Thanks!

So the official narrative is there was no credible evidence against him and he was about to go free but he killed himself anyway?

authorcalebchapman
He hanged himself. You’re thinking of the other fringe right-wing conspiracy theory about the Clintons.
ATastyCorpsesicle
It was less a comment on his literal cause of death and more on the plausibility that he did it to himself.
authorcalebchapman
It’s not “plausible” that he did it. All of the physical and most of the circumstantial evidence points to suicide.
QAnon uses the murder conspiracy theory to groom new followers.
SophieClockwise
He was a rich white man in America who hadn't even gotten anywhere *near* a trial yet, let alone been convicted and sentenced. There's no way he would have killed himself that early on in the proceedings, when he would have known full well he had almost 100% chance of walking away without a shred of punishment.
wadatahmydamie
I’m so tired of this QAnon conspiracy theory. Sure, let’s ignore literally all of the physical evidence and most of the circumstantial evidence.
Do you also believe there was a second autopsy performed? That’s a popular part of the conspiracy theory too.
crazyspelling
I don't follow any of those theories... but... somebody myst have told him that if he didn't off himself then something worse would happen. Someone that can tell two fed prison guards to give the guy on suicide watch clean sheets, not mind a disabled security camera, take a three hour nap, and skip wellness checks. If it were merely a matter of him killing himself, he wouldn't have been able to do it. That's what suicide watch is for.

crazyspelling
I concede that he was taken off suicide watch before he committed suicide. I'm not sure that's the big win you think it is - it's one more damned thing giving him the opportunity. Look, this isn't qanon, this is CNN ffs: https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/24/us/jeffrey-epstein-suicidal-thoughts-bureau-of-prisons-report
