The Jeffrey Epstein Scandal

Occam's Razor.

Everyone and their brother predicted Epstein's demise from the time of his arrest. Yet this was seemingly ignored. Now, everyone involved in prosecution acts shocked and outraged. They're either grossly incompetent or complicit. Neither leads to much confidence in any type of justice.

I know this is “out there”, but is it really so inconceivable to believe that the prison system simply is undermanned, overworked, and slightly incompetent?

That the man wanted to die, and took his opportunity? One problem with conspiracy theories is that there usually has to be many people involved...most people are not capable of keeping their mouths shut.
 
Just five short weeks after arresting a guy on suspicion of running a global child sex trafficking scam to the worlds richest most powerful people, and only two weeks after a failed suicide attempt, the FBI swept in to "raid" his house - because physical evidence from the suspects home is always better two days after he's dead. I agree- it might not be as "conspiratorial" as it seems - maybe the folks responsible for handling this case are just having a hard time walking in their unit-issued clown shoes without tripping over their own feet.
There really isn't any single explanation that doesn't result in me feeling further disappointed in the current quality and management of the American just-us system.

Chief Clancy Wiggum should be holding a press conference to update us on the investigation later today.

In my heart of hearts - I wish I could find something that could be refreshingly referred to as "the funny thing" in this case. When addressing the incompetence of ALL of our federal systems over the last few years, it seems like every turn leads to a road block or a pothole that no one wants to fix. Nothing about my faith in government is funny anymore - it hasn't been funny for quite some time now.

It's why I prefer to rely on snarky partisan sarcasm to get me through the day.

I'm not a huge conspiracy theory guy, aside from the reptilian overlords, those are real. Granted it's an OP-ED but it paints a pretty good picture I think of the conversation being generated right now and how twitter and social media at large greatly affect our perception and thinking.

Opinion | Epstein Suicide Conspiracies Show How Our Information System Is Poisoned


Mr. Epstein’s apparent suicide is, in many ways, the post-truth nightmare scenario. The sordid story contains almost all of the hallmarks of stereotypical conspiratorial fodder: child sex-trafficking, powerful global political leaders, shadowy private jet flights, billionaires whose wealth cannot be explained. As a tale of corruption, it is so deeply intertwined with our current cultural and political rot that it feels, at times, almost too on the nose. The Epstein saga provides ammunition for everyone, leading one researcher to refer to Saturday’s news as the “Disinformation World Cup.”

I’m not a police officer. Seems like a search of Pedo Island would have been done closer to time of arrest rather than death. I doubt it was a search but rather a “get”.

A dozen FBI agents raid Jeffrey Epstein's 'Pedophile Island'

That’s weird. I wonder why the raid happened after the guy died, instead of right after he was arrested. Seems like co-conspirators would have had a whole lot of time to do away with incriminating evidence.

IIRC Palm Beach PD did a lengthy undercover investigation of Epstein after the first allegations of underage sex. I know they searched his Palm Beach house and confiscated photos and documents that led to the original charges. That evidence and the stuff NYPD found in his New York mansion would still be on hand.

Ever see the FBI do a raid? It ain't a dozen agents. They come out in full force like in platoon strength, Everything is photographed and logged, etc. Every inch. A dozen agents for a island? Yeah, my bullshit meter is pegged with this whole deal.

We joked about a dozen FBI SAs but New York investigators and Virgin Islands PD were also involved in the raid on Pedo Island so it's quite possible--and probable--that the Daily Mail got their numbers screwed up.

And I'm not so sure that any of the co-conspirators had access to Pedo Island after Epstein's arrest. Which means there may have been some pristine stuff still in the house.

A person familiar with the probe of Jeffrey Epstein's death at a federal jail says guards are suspected of falsifying log entries to show they were checking on inmates in his unit every half hour, when they actually weren't.

The Latest: Epstein guards suspected of falsifying logs

Well, well...the tale grows. Somebody *cough* Epstein conspirator *cough* forgot to disable the cameras. I mean, what's a few thousand to keep your secrets from getting out.

They kept El Chapo alive without incident. But of course a drug king pin ain't the same as a dude who runs a international child sex trafficking network and flys O'l slick Willy around 26 times on his private jet...

Thing is, I think El Chapo was expecting one of his nitwit sons to break him out; probably still is.
