I told DUers Epstein was not coming out of prison alive

Last edited Sat Aug 10, 2019, 12:26 PM - Edit history (1)

Suicide or suicided - will we ever know

From July 19
I just have a feeling that Jeffrey will die in jail
before he can really talk

Cohen, Manafort and Epstein - he sure was surrounded by the best people.

Funny how Epstein wasn’t arrested until Barr was in place at doj - Barr, whose father was connected to Epstein. And just recently Gov. DeSantis (Trump sycophant) opened his own investigation here in Florida - maybe to control evidence?

I think a lot of people wanted the evidence they knew Epstein had on his properties, and they finally decided to go for it. We’ll see if the courts stand up against the pressure. We may need leakers.

But I do love mysteries, so there’s that. lol

I want to see that he really is dead. I do expect some kind of investigation from Congress and a continuation of the case in regard to the network of the sex slave market that is already being exposed.

This is too conveniently timely.

of who pulled the strings to make it happen. Something we will never know with this DOJ. Perhaps if and when we ever regain control, something I increasingly doubt with shit like this and Gordon going on, we will for once focus on the past. How can we ever truly save and restore our once great nation without squaring with the past? If we ever do regain control, we’d better look back; we’d better seek reconciliation AND accountability. There must be consequences since there will be one way or the other. Better to save and restore our once great democracy.

And we were speculating on when Epstein would exit this world.

He told me that he won't leave until it's all "set up" right.

I said it's sure taking a LOT 'longer' than I thought for Epstein to leave. That was no false alarm when they found him in his cell the 1st time with bruises on his neck (An apparent suicide. Yeah sure), but I guess THIS time that plague on this earth got the 'right' person to assist him in getting on out of here. In other words, "assisted suicide."

I had a strong feeling, as many of us who have a moderately functioning brain that he'd be "leaving," but WHEN, we never knew. He knew too much about and had too much on too many powerful filth balls like him. He dipped too far down into filthy cookie jar threatening/blackmailing too many of his uh 'clients' along the way. All those monies and gold bricks did him no good in the end.

There's still more than enough out there to 'get' others tangled up in his web of rape and pure filth. I Wonder what's happening with all of that 'evidence' that I've read/heard about that they had on him?

The 'case' proceeds without him

The last time Epstein’s name came up in the news.

He woke me up this morning with a “remember what I said about Jeffrey Epstein?” I replied “dead?” He answered “yup. In his jail cell.” I responded “gee, how convenient.”

I guess that’s one way to guarantee Bill Barr’s mouth stays shut. That was very likely a two-fer: take care of the main “problem,” while sending a VERY clear message to other “potential problems.”
