Let's be honest: If Epstein was still alive and in prison, he would get a pardon from Trump
Tbh Trump might have been the one who killed him. Either that or a UK Prince.
They didn't have to kill him, it doesn't have to be a conspiracy. Barr's DOJ allowed a man in a VERY high profile case that should have been on increased watch commit suicide on the eve of his bombshell testimony and going away forever. They allowed him to take his own out.
In that situation, giving him the means and opportunity is the same things as killing him yourself.
Except that's not how words work
Yes, it is. Knowingly handing a suicidal person a loaded gun and walking away is murdering them.
You can look at it that way and make an argument, but in this case it's just a shortcut to implying a conspiracy theory is true that still remains a theory.
I will never understand why people want to be sure about things they cannot know.
This isn't some Q-anon or fakr moon landing conspiracy bullshit. This was a wealthy pedophile on suicide watch in prison who just so happened to have the opportunity to kill himself hours before he would have given testimony implicating dozens of elites. Sure, it's possible that was not intentional but you can't deny that it is suspicious.
Also, you really shouldn't put words in other people's mouths. I said giving him the opportunity intentionally would be the same as killing him. I never said that definitely happened. I think is extremely likely but there's no way I could be sure.
I never denied it was suspicious. Just find it so annoying that people cannot stop with that. Until there's hard evidence of it, it's speculation. Doesn't even matter if it's likely true. Repeating it over and over makes it true for some people but I won't be one of them.
