  Not that I disagree but, have you seen how low effort all of this has been for them? It wasn’t some sort of complicated pizza code like maga thought Democrats were doing, it was literally just emails like “when is the wildest party on your island?”

  You say that, but look at these assholes. Look at the president. They are that arrogant to not think they don’t have to try to make anything believable, the fix is in for them and they don’t think they need us in the reality based community. This is perhaps one of the only issues where they’ve faced any pushback from reality.

  Obviously this particular theory is batshit, just saying pointing out how stupid and arrogant the bad guys would have to be to do this is not the gotcha we might have thought ten years back before we knew just how openly dishonest and arrogant and corrupted it all was.

    Then they wouldn’t try doing anything as convoluted as a faked suicide, they’d do what they did in 2008 - do a fake court case, drop all the most egregious part, give him a great lawyer, send him against shit-tier prosecutors, and sentence him to three years of house arrest to make all the bad things go away.

      Yeah it’s a dumbass theory. Epstein was probably killed twice just to make sure they wanted this guy dead, he was all but openly threatening to tell people the things he knows if he didn’t get help. The list of people that wanted him dead includes about every other dude that graduated from an Ivy League school at this point, the president chief amongst them. They killed him, and in this case, the arrogance was in not bothering to cover their tracks.

      They are missing a minute of video or something from his cell of the incident. Their guards fell asleep on the job? You can drive a truck through the holes in this story. Conspiracy thread whackos start with a real conspiracy and take it way out in left field when it’s an open and shut case of the catcher garroting the batter as he went for the pitch and everyone pretending not to see anything.

        I wouldn’t be surprised if this was an attempt at the “out-conspiracy the conspiracy theory” approach.

        You know: when someone says “wow, you believe humans have landed on the Moon??”, you go “lol, you believe in the Moon???”

        Here we have: “Epstein was found dead in his cell, he was probably murdered”, being “out-conspiracied” into “lol, no, he faked his death so he can play Fortnite, his account was active a couple of days ago”.

        On the other hand, I was always wondering how he could even be killed like this. Like you said a lot of people wanted him dead, which he had to be aware of and probably tool precautions like a release of his “data” in case of his death under suspicious circumstances.
