It'll be front fun watching dueling conspiracy theories on the left/right...

Liberals undoubtedly will think Trump is somehow involved in Epstein's death due to his close association over the years and the development yesterday that he in fact did fly on Epstein's jet once back in 1997.

Conservatives undoubtedly will think the Clintons are somehow involved in Epstein's death due to Bill's association over the years and the development yesterday that long-time Clinton friend Bill Richardson was fingered by one of Epstein's alleged victims.

Both sides will debate how ludicrous it is that anyone could think so and so did it, while likely subscribing to the same ideas that fuel the reason they think the other absolutely was involved. Both will be out in full force pushing their conspiracy.

So, I guess the question is, whose version is more widely accepted among apolitical conspiracy nuts? I think it'll be the Clinton kill list one just because, despite there being some conspiracy cuckoo birds on the left, and places like DU, there also seems to be way more rational thinking folks than on the right (who's the left's Alex Jones?).

Anyway, it'll be a fun battle to watch only because it really showcases the similarities of the two sides.

He got his one big break already. He wasn’t getting another one.

So shutting him up would be pointless.

If this was an investigator, that would be an entirely different story.

Honestly when it came to any involvement with Trump, I didn’t put too much hope into it. It was a shot in the dark if anything about him got unconverted. Better to put all our resources on Russia.
