President Donald Trump retweeted a conspiracy theory on Saturday evening alleging without evidence that former President Bill Clinton was connected to the death of wealthy financier and accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, hours after Epstein was found dead by apparent suicide in his federal prison cell.

"Died of SUICIDE on 24/7 SUICIDE WATCH ? Yeah right! How does that happen," wrote Terrence K. Williams, a conservative commentator and comedian, in the message retweeted by Trump. In a two-minute long selfie video recording, Williams alleged that the Clintons were responsible for Epstein's death.


Epstein was not on suicide watch at the time of his death, multiple people familiar with the investigation have told NBC News.

The President of the United States is publicly accusing a former President of murder without any basis in reality.

How far away are we from a full blown banana republic?

1. Who is this Terrence Williams?

Never heard of him.

[Xipe Totec]

9. He must mean Terrance and Phillip. nt

[orangecrush]

10. Neither have I.

But Dotard has.

[BigmanPigman]

18. Williams is a headliner on the Deplorables Comedy Tour, which promises to "unleash the conservative

mindset, transcending politics and unabashedly mocking liberals."

23. So this "Deplorables" tour is either satire of how stupid conservatives can get...

Or it shows just how stupid they are.

31. I watched a couple of his YouTube videos

I've met funnier funeral directors.

Since he is totally useless as a comedian, he had two choices: find a real job, or find a niche he can exploit. And since driving a forklift is not something that appeals to him, he decided to become a Black Trump Supporter.

33. If anyone conspired to kill him, it would be Republcians who have most to lose.

2. How far away?

We're already there! Plus, Bobby Barr will destroy any evidence that incriminates Donnie Two Scoops.

[jcgoldie]

3. Hey Trump you idiot!

You're the one that controls the Department of Justice!

[Scarsdale]

21. The Clintons should SUE

tRump for defamation. What evidence does he think he has that Hillary is crooked? He projects his own shortcomings on anyone who he is jealous of, and that is a large pool of people. There are more photos, plus quotes of tRump talking about Epstein than there have ever been about the Clintons with Epstein. Sue his orange ass off, make him put his money (taxpayer money) where his anus mouth is. Such a childish, despicable, repulsive man/child.

4. The Spirit of Pizzagate lives!!

Frightening that the ordinary people who would believe such nonsense are eligible to serve on juries in the US

[orangecrush]

12. THIS

[iluvtennis]

19. Exactly...on point. nt

[SunSeeker]

5. This was a federal prison. This was Trump's responsibility.

And Trump has much more of a motive than Clinton to off Epstein. No Epstein victim has accused Clinton of doing anything. But Epstein picked up victims at Mar-a-lago.

Just more Republican projection.

[pecosbob]

6. Well...you're the chief executive...the DOJ is controlled by your political appointees

MDC Manhattan is a part of DOJ...it happened on your watch a**hole. You have the power to investigate, but I bet a dime on a dollar you do not. Show the world the camera footage from Epstein's cell when he 'hanged himself', or don't and cover it up...Congress is coming for you in either case.

[BlueIdaho]

7. Maybe Trumpsky should ask Bill Barr

If he helped Epstein over the rainbow bridge...

[riversedge]

8. #Trump is pushing the same conspiracy theory as the Russian Trolls are on Twitter!

[yardwork]

15. That's what he was installed to do.

[TygrBright]

11. I hope the Clintons sue his butt raggedy. n/t

[Thekaspervote]

13. Retweeting... hummm must mean it isn't gaining any traction

[jimlup]

14. Trump is actually stupid enough to

get this completely and totally wrong. I have no doubt that stuff went on that we don't see and may never know but you can bet that whatever Trump thinks might have happened didn't.

[Talitha]

16. Considering how many crazy magats are out there,

I hope the Clintons have enough protection surrounding them... Chelsea, too.
I'm sure they do but geeze, stuff like this re-tweet is extremely worrisome!

[BigmanPigman]

17. What took him so long?

He must have been golfing and finally was able to spread the BS theories. People will dance on Epstein's grave but the Racist Rapist's grave will look like Studio 54 in its heyday.

[duforsure]

20. Just another desperate attempt to project onto others

When in reality he's telegraphing his and Barr's guilt. Before its all over these two will be facing prison, and they'll both be claiming how they're the victims. Epstein's death will only make things worse for them both.

[NCjack]

22. The FBI has Trump's and Barr's fingerprints on file. Agents must

do a detailed examination of Epstein's cell to see it they can find their fingerprints.

[Aussie105]

24. We all know how transparent Trump is.

He accuses others of what he has done.

Donnie is so easy to read.

[Stuart G]

25. There are a few people, just a few who did not think Trump was nuts. Now there is no one.

This is the proof. Trump accuses Clinton. This is proof for impeachment.

[lark]

26. OMG, he's as much as admitting that he's personally responsible.

You know how he always always accuses of others of the exact things he himself does - well bazinga, he just outted himself. REally the tweet is so stupid and it's so obvious this was set up by Barr at drump/PUtin's request or at the least on their behest and it was known by drumpf. Clinton couldn't have pulled out the guards and make the security system malfunction when it was in federal hands, but drumpf or his alter ego Barr could easily have done this.

[mwb970]

27. Perhaps others will be influenced by Epstein's decision to kill himself.

So here we have a phony billionaire, a thieving sexual predator with a preference for underage girls. He found himself stuck in a difficult situation from which he could not escape, one that put his sins and crimes on full public display and was about to force him to take responsibility in public for the bad behavior of his entire sordid life, revealing him as a sick, sad loser. He knew he would never ever have his old life back again, so he took the easy way out and made his exit on his own terms.

Are you watching, Mr. Trump?

[2naSalit]

28. Okay, soooo...

These RWNJs are claiming that Epstein was murdered in jail. Think about how the dimwit projects, it's already a given that Epstein was murdered rather than committed suicide. Besides, the suicides that took place during the Clinton admin were conspired to have been covered up murders so this must be also. There is no creativity in what the claims are that emerge from the WH and other fetid corners of opinion, they just take a story from out of the past of someone they despise and when caught doing something really messed up, they try to accuse their assumed enemies of their own wrongdoings.

With that rationale, I suspect that either Epstein probably was murdered by someone who is a client* or he was artfully removed from the jail and spirited away from there. Claiming he's dead means nobody is looking for him. The idiot is as transparent here as he is on his connection to white supremacy and pootin.

I'm not buying the official story yet, this whole event and media storm was too timely and seemingly contrived. I'm not entirely convinced he's dead and I suspect that if he is dead, it was murder perpetrated by the auspices of the AG and whomever was willing to pay the most.



*like a paid assassin

[Traildogbob]

29. Putinesk style

So, if the prison is stating suicide, why is Donny Dumpster setting up a volley for murder? He must believe evidence will prove murder, not suicide, so he is already deflecting his crimes onto his political opponents, ones the GOP have falsely accused of murder and child sex trafficking endlessly. Seems he knows it was a murder. How, he was involved. Where are all the defamation lawsuits against this MAGAt shit bag? Every single victim of his endless bull shit accusations should be suing his ass for everything he owns, fuck, MOST of them are very good lawyers. Come on Barrack, Michelle, Hillary, Warren, Kamala. Sue this ass hole to hell and back. Taking his cash will stroke him out of this world, a world he does not deserve to occupy. He has zero respect for it.

[Nitram]

30. It's interesting how fast the Clintons were accused. Almost it was part of a plan.

[bucolic_frolic]

32. Do you see Trump's consistent tactic?

No one anxious to avoid attention would do anything to draw attention to the subject. So he draw as much spotlight as he can so as to appear innocent.
