The Jeffrey Epstein Bombshell

By Rich Kozlovich

Today I posted this article Assessing the Fallout From the Patel, Bongino Interview by Leesa K. Donner and truth is that interview hit the fan.  I'm linking two more articles dealing with this, with kind of opposing views.

First, Jeffrey Epstein and trust in the government by Dawn Merrill saying:

Ah, Jeffrey Epstein.  We finally have an official statement from our own side, and it contradicts every last thing our own side has believed now for years. Let’s all approach this analytically. I would be willing to bet that no one reading this right now was there in that jail cell.  No one reading right now was on the island, on the plane, or anywhere else relevant to the case.  We have secondhand knowledge at best.  It is easy to believe a conspiracy theory.  It is hard to admit it if you are wrong.......It is time to put faith in our government and move on from the Epstein cause of death......We have bigger fish to fry! 

Then there's this one by Todd Baumann, Kash and Bongino losing trust over Epstein saying:   

 

This past weekend on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, FBI director Kash Patel and his deputy, Dan Bongino, made a stunning declaration: Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide.  That was it.  Case closed.  Bongino even said he’s “seen the file,” as if that alone should convince the American people to move on.  But that’s not how this works. I couldn’t tell if I was watching an interview or a hostage video.The public doesn’t owe Patel and Bongino blind trust, especially not on a matter this explosive.  In fact, their appearance on Bartiromo’s show torpedoed their credibility.  

 

He then went on to list all the amazing irregularities, some of which seem to me to be criminal:

• The cameras outside Epstein’s cell mysteriously failed the night of his death.
• Two guards assigned to check on him allegedly fell asleep and didn’t perform their rounds.
• He was taken off suicide watch days after a prior “attempt,” against standard protocol.
• He had no cellmate at the time, though he had had one shortly before.
• The fractures in his hyoid bone and carotid artery were more consistent with strangulation than hanging, according to forensic experts.
• Dr. Michael Baden, a prominent pathologist who observed the autopsy, publicly stated that the evidence pointed to homicide.
• The staff at the prison were charged with falsifying records about their monitoring duties.  Those charges were later dropped.
• Key documents and surveillance footage have never been released or are said to have disappeared.
• The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) provided no meaningful accountability following his death.  The director of the BOP, appointed by Attorney General William Barr nine days after Epstein’s death, raises other questions.

He ends his commentary by saying:

Despite all this, the DOJ closed the case quietly and without holding anyone truly accountable.  This isn’t a tinfoil-hat conspiracy theory.  It’s a pattern of irregularities so staggering that any reasonable observer would demand real answers.

So, what's the answer? I have no idea, but I'm sure while this is going to pretty much end it officially, this is never going to end in people's minds.  Will we move on?  Yes, but this whole thing just stinks so badly.
