Joy asked all the necessary questions about the death of Jefftey Epstein.

Some responders act like it is a hot potato and refuse to even speculate. The fear in this country of the results of referring to the corruption of the government is massive. Where and we headed and what will be the end of these times of deterioration of what was the most powerful country in the world?

1. Power is not measured in military might.

Power is all about the economics. We have screwed ourselves royally with our insane debt and corruption.

2. It's already been said this will be investigated by a House committee.

They should subpoena the tapes, but I'd bet strongly that it doesn't exist and there will be a gap where the system failed at the same time as the security system failed and all that happened right when Epstein was in the process of dying.

7. The jail was Federal and therefore ultimately

under the jurisdiction of Barr's Justice Department. So good luck with any serious examinations. We should probably be expecting obstruction, impediments and/or outright squashing a la the Mueller Report treatment.

3. How would we know what all the questions were, and

if we do, is commentary the viewership expects proof of trustworthiness?

MSNBC works to elect Republicans, and judging by Reid's behavior I suspect going along is a job requirement for her -- just as we know it has been for others who competed for these jobs.

4. Well, she seems to have stepped outside of the Chuck Todd bonds and asked the

questions that no one else did. I applaud her for wanting to delve deep into the mystery of a once suicidal man being able to commit suicide just as explosive information was released about the Epstein case.

[PSPS]

5. LOL. "the mystery?"

There is no "mystery" here. Child molesters almost always commit suicide. At least in this case there wasn't a captive group in a cult that went with him as was the case with Jim Jones and David Koresh.

8. Unanswered questions... How anyone could not be puzzled as to why he could have been taken off

a suicide watch is just burying their head in the sand. There need be nothing conspiratorial nor extremist to question. Even DOJ/FBI and Congress are doing so.

The fact is a death that appears a suicide, whether in jail or a home environment is always going to be investigated to ensure it was not a "suspicious" death. That is a basic procedure. And yes, suicide is not uncommon in jails, but it is not expected in a Federal facility after an initial attempt had already been documented--sans any attempt to prevent it

So, you can derisively say "mystery", but it is unanswered questions and how anyone could justify NOT asking them is beyond me. To not do so would be incredibly irresponsible. We, the people are responsible for the humane care of those behind bars. Many may wish to ignore that, but we are no less culpable than we are when we see immigrants being mistreated and children suffering at the hands of our "leadership".

9. +1,000

I will continue to ask questions

[PSPS]

13. I agree. Investigate, sure. Promote wild-eyed ridiculous conspiracy theories, no.

[lostnfound]

12. Who has he been working for, for all these years? Yeah, right. Nt

[Hortensis]

10. Chuck Todd is conservative, MF, and consistently works to elect

Republicans, just as Joe Scarborough does. They're pushing back against the scary extremism that's taken over the Republican Party but working hard to keep it in power.

Note that, although the culture of that party has been taken over by Southern-type religiosocial passions, economically Todd, Scarborough, and the party leadership are all allied with billionaire/centimillionaire interests.

Maybe watch how Todd routinely handles coverage of despicable Republican behaviors by using it for false comparisons of Democrats to spread the smear and deceive and confuse voters. Then ask yourself if there's a connection between that and 40% of the electorate not voting, or with people right here on DU who repeat this no-real-difference poison so sincerely that you really wonder if they voted Democrat in 2016, or will in 2020.

Joe and Mike helping present the Kochs as really just nice, ordinary guys. Joe's warmup before the interview: They're "awesome," "godsend," "people should thank them" and "stop picking on them."

6. It is the "normalization" effect. Some are afraid to question anything. Joy had authoritative people

on (at least yesterday, I missed her segment this morning)... They were former Federal prosecutors, US attorneys, FBI, and other officials.

I think there is a real "NEED' right now for some to reassure themselves by suggesting it is just the rest of DU who are creating outrageous conspiracies. That "clear" dichotomy of themselves as a "calm objective fount of wisdom" versus those of us they view as conspiracists--who question to any degree whatsoever what is said, what is happening, what the administration and yes occasionally the media tells us. I guess if that makes them feel better, what the hell, but I won't stop calling them out for those tactics.

11. HOW? - that's what I want to know

If we know HOW he killed himself that will go a long way in considering this

[lostnfound]

14. IF.

That’s the first question, in my opinion.
New identity for an asset is an alternative, completely ABSURD scenario.
Naturally nothing so absurd could happen to a man who had lived his life as a humble high school math teacher. Working for god knows who making his money god knows where.
Nobody in government would know how to do that.

[PSPS]

15. It's no mystery. He hanged himself.

[underpants]

16. Thanks.

I've been out of the loop playing golf yesterday.
