Epstein committed suicide. Did you miss the news coverage?

And I’m not sure what the AG has to do with Epstein’s crimes. Did you get some people mixed up?

There's enough conflicting information about the suicide that that particular conspiracy theory is going to have legs for a long time to come.

Better to just call it a substantiated theory at this point.

It's not substantiated, it's speculation.

There's still a possibility it was an actual, non-coerced suicide.

For sane people, this is the only possibility.

Wrong. It's a substantiated theory, because there's lots of evidence suggesting this theory is correct. But it is not a fact, you're right there's stil la possibility it was an actual suicide, but I'm right in calling it a substantiated theory that Epstein was "suicided"

There is no evidence at all suggesting it is correct.

The AG is a loyalist to and subordinate of the President, who was an associate of Epstein and who was also at one point accused of having had Epstein procure an underage girl for sex.

The AG's father, Donald Barr, also [may have] hired Epstein as a math and science teacher at the Dalton School where Donald Barr was Prinicpal, despite Epstein seemingly lacking appropriate credentials [1]. William Barr was either a student there or attended in some capacity. Note the linked article at the bottom shows it is not clear whether Donald Barr had a personal role in the hiring of Epstein.

Yes, Epstein committed suicide, and Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. Every sane person knows that.

There were a ton of damning leaks coming out that would taint a jury pool.
