I've been in Federal Prison twice for Marijuana trafficking, in 1981 and 1997. Their security is first class, and they had their shit together. They know how to run a prison system.

The Officers toed the mark, very disciplined, but not evil in any way. Always, safe, always clean, always always organized. Cameras always work!!! In my opinion, Jeffrey was murdered.....

There is a famous line about protesting from Shakespeare's Hamlet :

“The lady doth protest too much, methinks.".

It suggests that someone who protests or denies something too vehemently is likely trying to hide the truth.

Just fill it in

“The Donald doth protest too much, methinks”

I have no trouble believing Epstein killed himself. Pedophiles have a high risk of suicide, which is why they're automatically on suicide watch when first taken into custody.

Epstein got away with the unspeakable for decades by being rich, handsome, and having the right friends. He was finished as soon as his photos and videos were discovered. He couldn't buy his way out of it, and from that point on, he would be powerless for the rest of his life. Of course he killed himself.

As far as the video is concerned, I can believe there were malfunctioning cameras outside of his cell. The jail he was held in, the Metropolitan Correctional Center, was built in 1975 and closed in 2021 due to deterioration. It was a 12-story-high, brutalist-style building made of reinforced concrete.

I lived in a very similar brutalist building that was erected around the same time as the jail. After about 30 years, the 12-story building developed leaks, and in a building like that, water meanders everywhere, and it isn’t easy to find a source.

Meanwhile, it’s doing a lot of damage. Over time, water shorted out the fire alarm system installed inside the wall in the lobby, the security camera system in the same area, and the emergency pull-cords for the handicapped throughout the building.

I think everything that happened at the jail is easily explained by incompetence and the fact that the building was falling apart. Epstein’s suicide was a completely selfish act.

The current cover-up is completely selfish, too. Trump can’t afford to lose his Christian base. What may end up being most damning is not who participated in the abuse, but who watched and did nothing.

By the way, I’ve seen footage of Trump at various parties. Has anyone ever tracked down the people in the background? If NBC filmed Trump and Epstein laughing together at a party, surely they got releases from everyone they filmed. And who was that seven-foot-tall man in that NBC video, anyway? Where are the women who surrounded Trump now?

Leaving this as I know that Jim is good friends with Rosie O’Donnell

Trump has abused Rosie O’Donnell from the beginning. A grown man calling a woman filthy names. He treated her roughly and viciously.

Men of honor do not treat women like that.

None of it was ever funny.

They tried then to say that SHE started it - no she did not.

( to be noted here the same mentality about Ukraine)

She told the TRUTH about Trump talking about bankruptcies corruption, and everything else being in the know about what went on in New York City living there herself.

The President of the United States, threatening to take away somebody’s citizenship.

Making THREATS as all narcissistic abusers do.

THREATS and retaliation for her getting away out of HIS reach.

There are women in domestic violence situations trying to get out every day that understand this.

Never have we had a president of the United States behave this way.

His treatment to women is misogynistic and abusive .

As stated above :

Men of honor integrity and emotional maturity, do not act or talk like that.

The public conversations have been reduced to the gutter.

And just for the record

Anita Hill was always telling the truth about Clarence Thomas . He should’ve never been confirmed to the Supreme Court.

A reasonable person would see and assume this has been a cover-up from the beginning.

“In 2007–2008, as U.S. attorney, Acosta approved a plea deal that allowed child-trafficking ring-leader Jeffrey Epstein to plead guilty to a single state charge of solicitation, in exchange for a federal non-prosecution agreement”

“There is a connection between Alexander Acosta and Pam Bondi related to their involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein case.

Alexander Acosta was the US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida when he oversaw a plea deal in 2008 that allowed Epstein to avoid federal prosecution and plead guilty to state charges related to sexually abusing underage girls.

Pam Bondi served as Florida's Attorney General from 2011 to 2019. During her tenure, there were questions raised about the handling of the Epstein case in Florida, and her office's actions, particularly regarding a client list and surveillance footage, have drawn scrutiny. She has faced criticism for not pursuing the case more aggressively.

More recently, a reporter asked Attorney General Bondi to reconcile Acosta's claims that Epstein "belonged to intelligence". Bondi deflected, stating she was unaware if Epstein was an intelligence asset, and downplayed a missing minute of jailhouse surveillance footage from the night of his death”

The most amusing thing about EpsteinGate is that it's become _the_ existential crisis of MAGA and TrumpCo and it was entirely self-created. They just couldn't stop feeding the conspiracy beast and it looks like everybody is getting what they deserve except the victims and perps.

Ghislaine Maxwell was pretty cut and dried. There were victims underage at the time who were willing to testify, corroborating witnesses and no amount of elite juice could counter that. But P Diddy just got off on his trafficking counts. Prosecuting anyone else now that the chief perp is dead and his wing lady in prison would be a nightmare, not least because of the statute of limitations. Any FBI under any administration would consider it prudent to close the case.

But Trump had to hire conspiracy theory jockeys to run the agencies they were making beaucoup bux calling corrupt instruments of a Deep State coverup. Not that there wasn't a coverup -- there was -- just that without evidence and with the statute of limitations it is not prosecutable.

Dan Bongino is going to have three days to contemplate the hundreds of thousands of dollars a year he was making in front of a microphone bloviating about this shit when now, for an order of magnitude less money, he actually has to _work_ defending an agency he had an unlimited license to attack. My money is on him quitting and Alex Jones passing him the crying towel.

Beginning to sense that the Epstein files may be Watergate 2025!? Lots of talk about their existence - if they indeed do exist - and where this will go; off the cliff or back to obscurity!? Or is donnie using his tariff nonsense to deflect from the TX tragedy, uproar at Justice, and multiple potential disasters looming about him? Dunno, but stay tuned. This ain't over yet.

And just wait until May 2026, when Jerome Powell’s term ends at the FED. Inflation will soar.

Times Radio's deep dive into Virginia Giuffre's diary.

Yes, there are sex tapes for blackmail purposes. This is absolutely a coverup.
