I have to wonder if that didn't influence his survivability in a federal prison.

And he did.

While in #CoverUpBarr's custody.

They dont give a shit about Bill Clinton. #Traitor's fucking cult does, but he doesn't.

He knows that his followers, and many on the far left behave like Pavlov's dog hearing a bell when the name Clinton is mentioned.

...(I)f Epstein had any dirt on Trump, he was going to die -- and he did.

And the odds are that Epstein DID have dirt on Trump, whether he intended to use it or not. While it's possible that he did take the "honorable" way out rather than snitch,Trump's blaming the Clintons serves the purposes of a weapon of mass media distraction from his own ties to Epstein and a way to close the 10% gap in his approval ratings.

where the honorable thing to do is to kill yourself because you can't defend yourself without implicating someone else, or can't incriminate someone else without implicating yourself. There's a very special legal term for being in each of those situations:

Guilty.

Until we get an independent and thorough investigation I can't believe differently.

Barr/Trump/GOP had the means and motive to make sure Epstein stayed quiet - forever.

earlier in Stephanie Ruhle’s show that listed some of the fiends mentioned in the Epstein document releases. All I remember were references to world leaders and, I think, celebrities or some such, and “one former prime minister”. Also specified Prince Andrew by name. But nothing that looked like it pointed to either Clinton. It flashed by too fast for me to get a shot of it.

Shit, if Bill Clinton HAD been involved, don’t you think that’d be ALL OVER Pox Noise from now til Doomsday? Hell, they’d be hiring buses with huge banners and megaphones trumpeting it, driving through every neighborhood in America!

He has not been charged as of now:

Giuffre has claimed she was forced to have encounters with men including Britain's Prince Andrew, Epstein's lawyer Alan Dershowitz, the late MIT scientist Marvin Minsky and others. The prince and Dershowitz — who has sued Giuffre for defamation — have denied the allegations.

The Daily Beast noted that "court documents unsealed on Friday did not contain any corroboration or further details, though many documents remain sealed."
