They told Epstein if he didn’t kill himself, they would torture him.
They drugged the guards and disabled the cameras.
He killed himself.”

That’s more or less my thinking. It’s possible that he already knew that he’d have to kill himself to avoid being killed, or that he just didn’t want to do any “hard time.” They could also have paid off one or more of the guards — if the guard wasn’t already working for them.

I’m hearing rumors that the investigation of the first Trump assassination attempt has been closed — with many questions unresolved. I don’t see confirmation of that online, or any information about where the investigation is at this point.

I said I thought that specifically those accusations brought by Virginia Giuffre were weak. She’s not the sole person trafficked. That one of the people trafficked has been making unreliable accusations doesn’t mean that all of them are.

The charges you linked to clearly state multiple women were trafficked. But they mention only Epstein as the person trafficked to. So it’s like they’re charging him with dealing drugs to himself. None of these multiple other women have any evidence of anyone but Epstein involved? Not even enough to bring before a grand jury?

Not easy to believe, but then the narrative has been so poisoned by media hype especially of Giuffre’s accusations.

“He was headmaster of the Dalton School from 1964 to 1974.[9] For a brief time, at the end of his tenure as headmaster, disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein was employed as a math teacher. It is unclear whether Barr hired Epstein.[10][11] In 1973, Barr published Space Relations, a science fiction novel about a planet ruled by oligarchs who engage in child sex slavery. It has been noted that the plot of the novel anticipates the crimes of Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.[12]”

Teachers are hired at Dalton by committee and the committee includes the Headmaster. In this case, Barr.

Yeah, no connection whatsoever. Everyone in NYC knows if you are a committed Leftist and want a safe Communist school for your precious little Woke child, Dalton is your choice. Then there was the Little Red School House where DeNiro went. Now that was a nuthouse.

I don’t find it at all surprising that he might be strongly motivated to kill himself at that point.

First of all, he was 66 years old. He was facing an almost certain prospect of being in prison for the rest of his natural life and dying there. He’d already been in prison in Florida for about a year – as a result of a lenient plea deal. So he figured he’d dodged that bullet. But with the 2019 indictments he knew they meant business, unlike the first time. The party was completely and utterly over.

.

So skip the guards. The first procedure times the third. Still not a good number. And, while I have no idea how often the cameras malfunction on their own, I’d presume one which does frequently could be replaced without a contract activity similar to those discovered by DOGE. IOW, close to the last one’s screw up.

So procedure one is one over five and maybe more realistically, procedure three is one over one hundred.

And it happened to EPSTEIN, not some anonymous schlub nobody ever heard of. That chance was….? Not to mention that the dude was one some unknown but large number of influential people wanted quiet and, of those, a substantial portion could be seen as in a position to see it happens.

Okay, fallback position was that Epstein was set up to kill himself. And it was deliberate.
