Epstein’s suicide will return to life as a conspiracy theory distraction.
Jeffery Epstein’s suicide is built with some of the best conspiracy construction materials ever! Only Jack Ruby killing Lee Harvey Oswald comes to mind as better.
Jeffery was rich, deeply flawed and well-connected in a world of rich, deeply flawed, well-connected corruption and privilege, which includes the current President of the United States. Under remand, and considering the charges against him, his risk for suicide was off the charts. He even made an apparent attempt just weeks ago.
It’s not easy to off-yourself and it’s even more difficult when you’re incarcerated. Outside of jail, men are better at it than women, but for one simple reason, they have access to and use guns. If Jeffery was under suicide watch, it should have been damn near impossible. But no, Jeffery was taken off suicide watch 12 days prior to his death.
Even being at high risk of suicide, was Jeffery the type that would have given up all hope and been in so much pain that he would employ the brutal methods available in a prison cell, and succeed? Perhaps the FBI investigation will give us some answers, but most likely they will be, as in other recent investigations, e.g. Mueller, incomplete and unsatisfying.
