Wow! Ben Sasse just dropped a bomb about Epstein's "suicide", saying to the effect that....

...."many people benefited by that" (paraphrased, I couldn't get it down fast enough)

This will be WELL worth looking up later today online!

and those associated with his pedophilic network certainly benefited. Too bad there wasn't a 'black book,' however, I wonder if ANYone within his sphere was trustworthy enough to do the right thing in the event of his untimely death.

2. The closest thing to a black book is the evidence that Ghislaine Maxwell gave prosecutors.

Sasse was very outspoken about it, hopefully that opened a can of worms that will expose what really happened.

the suicide occurred. Didn't both of them leave their post at the time Epstein allegedly killed himself?

6. IIRC the narrative, they were understaffed, working long shifts, & both dozed off ...

I imagine the guards’ personal lives were investigated long ago.

Some of this is verifiable (staffing and shift issues). Both dozing off at the same time — strangely, what that always suggested to me was that someone slipped them a mickey — a little Rohypnol in their coffee would do it.

Consider how expendable workers at that level are — to people who think others are expendable, that is. Blame it all on the guards. The only ones who care if they are fired are their families.

Count me among those who think Epstein was murdered.

only that this isn't saying he was. We've always had excellent reason to believe "many people" whose names were associated with his at some point over the years benefited when his death cut short the circus to come. A huge embarrassment at very best even for the many not involved in wrongdoing, and as for those not so innocent and those guilty as hell of something... They all certainly benefited. So far.

Audio, video, still images, flight records, phone records, etc.

Some want to pretend that 'Epstein's death means we will never know the truth' -- how insulting to the victims.
