Will you support tossing out Nancy Pelosi if she does not agree with you?

Pretty obvious that he had help, but who and why? Follow the money.

It was not clear in July to jail officials if the injuries Epstein sustained at that time, which were not serious, were self-inflicted or the result of an assault, the sources said. Epstein told authorities he was beaten up and called a child predator, they said.

I can't believe they fell for it.

I don't doubt the guy wanted to kill himself, once he was denied bail.

The real question is how the fuck anyone thought it was a good idea to take him off suicide watch after only 6 days, and before his trial. Crazy. Heads should roll, so to speak.

. . .Anyone who doesn't support getting to the bottom of the Epstein business deserves to have a giant letter "C" for complicit sewn onto their shirt.

Epstein's death may have given a breather to some powerful people but truth has a power of its own and this will all come to light.

12. Special Council vs Independent Council

Big difference. Special is under the power of Justice Dept.
Independent is independent. In this case until
the statute is changed - all we have is The House of Representatives.

after allowing one of the highest profile prisoners in history to off himself before trial. That is if everything is what it appears to be and is on the up and up. Justice is most assuredly incapable of investigating this massive a f^ckup in one of it's own departments without obstructing.
