De Blasio dons tinfoil hat, casts doubt on details surrounding Epstein's death

New York Daily News

Mayor de Blasio dabbled in conspiracy theories over Jeffrey Epstein’s death, saying Tuesday that the convicted sex offender’s demise in federal custody was “way too convenient.”

“The one thing I do not think is possible here is just pure, traditional human error,” Hizzoner said on Fox Business News, “which means something else happened.”

...snip...

De Blasio shied away from going into specifics, but indicated he didn’t believe the feds, who say Epstein apparently hung himself after he was taken off suicide watch.

The FBI and Justice Department are investigating Epstein’s death. Asked whether he believes the feds will get to the bottom of it, de Blasio said, “I want to believe” they will.

will be a travesty and coverup. Perhaps Congress can run an equitable investigation.
