About Epstein. What did he know that might cause others to want to cause him great harm?

...That is the bottom line, there is no more. At this time it does appear to be suicide. But did Epstein have some experiences, (whatever those might be) that might cause others to want do him harm? I do not know, but that is the question. How could some kind of harm happen to him in prison? Why? Who would benefit? Why would those who would benefit take that chance?.. There are no clear answers, other than, it was suicide. There is no more.

British parliament and runs Patrobotics blog. She started tweeting about Maria the 13yr old Trump allegedly raped(Catch and Kill, Ronan Farrow), in 2017, and also linked Trump org escort services with the Russian mafia. He is a blogger. @truefactsstated @louisemensch. At the time they were labeled conspiracy theorists, because it all seemed so unbelievable. But as time has passed and more of those things have proven true, rather than untrue.

10. Well assuming it's investigated fully and it looks like suicide than there it is

It is emotionally gratifying to assume your political enemies are murderers - conservatives I know have been doing that for year. But without evidence I don't feel like speculating.

Possibly I'm a bit sensitive to this because an acquaintance recently shared the Clinton Death Count website which caused a bit of a verbal scuffle.

13. The Ties That Bind Jeffrey Epstein, William Barr & Donald Trump

Hill Reporter, May 19, 2019

During Attorney General, William Barr’s confirmation hearing, he was mostly peppered with questions about how he would handle the Mueller Report. Senator Ben Sasse’s (R-NE) questioning, however, diverged from the pack. Sasse asked Barr about the lenient sentence given out to billionaire pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein. The future Attorney General told Sasse that he would look into the matter.

This, however, was not the first connection between Barr and his family and the disgraced pedophile. In 1973, Barr’s father Donald, the headmaster at Manhattan’s Dalton School, hired Epstein as a calculus and physics teacher.

While hiring Epstein, a noted mathematics genius, was not strange on its face, the hire was unusual for a number of reasons. Epstein had not earned a college degree as he dropped out of New York’s prestigious Cooper Union. The other odd circumstance was that the new teacher was only 20 years of age.

Apparently, the hire was a successful one. The New Yorker wrote in a 2003 profile on Epstein, “he was something of a Robin Williams–in–Dead Poets Society type of figure, wowing his high-school classes with passionate mathematical riffs.” Epstein’s mathematical skills caught the eye of Bear Stearns’ chairman, Alan “Ace” Greenberg, whose son attended the Dalton School. Greenberg hired Epstein as an options trader and the former teacher was able to amass a fortune.
