Even in the friendliest of environments-- say the radio show and podcast I do weekly with David Feldman-- people scoff when I express certainty that the Trump Regime had Jeffrey Epstein murdered while he was in federal custody awaiting trial. Just last week, Feldman asked me, with a degree of incredulity if I really believed that Trump had Epstein murdered? I can't believe that anyone rational doesn't!
Epstein's brother hired famed forensic pathologist Michael Baden, a former NYC medical examiner, to investigate the death. He came to the conclusion that Epstein probably didn't kill himself as was more likely to have been murdered. The video above is Baden's appearance on Fox & Friends yesterday. He said "I think the evidence points to a homicide rather than a suicide... Because there are three fractures in the hyoid bone, the thyroid cartilage that are very unusual for suicide and more indicative of strangulation-- homicidal strangulation... I’ve never seen in 50 years of investigating all deaths that occur in prisons in New York state never have two guards fall asleep at the same time, while the video doesn’t work."
The Miami Herald's Julie K. Brown interviewed Baden as well and he told her that "The autopsy did not support suicide. That’s what [the medical examiner, Barbara Sampson] put down. Then Dr. Sampson changed it a week later to manner of death to suicide. The brother has been trying to find out why that changed…what was the evidence?"
The death of Epstein, 66, launched a series of conspiracy theories, mostly centered on whether Epstein was murdered to keep him from revealing information about the rich and powerful men in his social circle who may have been involved in crimes, including sex trafficking.Barr, a fanatic protector of Trump's own crime wave, is himself a likely suspect. Unless Epstein was a Mossad agent looking for komprmat on prominent Americans from the very start.
Sampson, however, ruled out foul play, but her findings did little to quell speculation.
The New York City Medical Examiner’s Office said it would shortly release a statement on the issues Baden had raised.
Following the autopsy, it was revealed there were major security lapses at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, and two prison officers were suspended and the warden was reassigned.
A federal investigation, ordered by U.S. Attorney General William Barr, is ongoing.
It would take someone smarter than Trump to pull off Epstein's murder. Based on what we do know about that case, there are lots of possible suspects and no Hercule Poirot to figure out whodunnit. The motive is to avoid being caught, the means is lots of cash and information about pertinent people, and having Epstein locked up was the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteNow figure out the guilty party from that.
No one who has followed this story believes otherwise. Epstein was murdered. Trump has blood on his hands, and its just another day in Amerika.
ReplyDeleteWell, it is not surprising to think Epstein was murdered. Trump was very clearly involved in the sex shenanigans with him and that rape case against the two of them was never pursued in court. The woman, at the time a young girl, claims that Trump and Epstein tied her up and raped her in a bedroom upstairs in the Manhattan mansion. There was a witness, too. Threats to her life made her stop pursuing the case. Nothing is too unbelievable with Trump. Epstein? Sure! What are the chances they did not do it? Slim to none.
ReplyDeleteTo Anonymous above saying Trump couldn't have carried it out as he is not smart enough...really? He has tons of honchos to do his bidding. Perhaps Barr did, who is a lot smarter. Also, there are a lot of other big shots tied up (no pun intended) with the many Epstein scandals. Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew and Woody Allen, for example. His black book must really be something. Perhaps a NY resident with ties to the prison system carried it out. All those parties at the mansion, flying the Lolita Express, Sex Slave Island in the Caribbean, the ranch in Arizona. I mean, Yikes!! There was ENORMOUS pressure to shut Epstein up. A few weeks in prison must have rattled the rich playboy big time. I mean, just look at the photos. From debonaire to pathetic mess, in such a short time. What a come down. The humiliation! The discomfort! No daily blow jobs! This is a man who scheduled sex with young girls as a routine thrice daily for years, decades. To reduce his sentence there is no doubt Epstein would have spilled a lot of beans. He was WAY TOO INCONVENIENT and needed to be gotten ride of.
Like the anthrax mail attacks on congress, mailed right after 9/11 , with letters saying "Allah is Great!", the narrative was set, we're being attack by "muslim terrorists" with highly sophisticated state-grade weaponized anthrax. Turns out, a US scientist pointed out that the molecular signature on the anthrax showed it came from US/Cia labs in Ft Detrick & put a big hole in the scripted war narrative. So when the facts came out. like Epstein was murder, and it became inconvenient, they said they would get to the bottom of it, and hired non other than Bob Mueller to draw out an investigation for years, with the case still unsolved. Maybe Bob will look into who murdered Epstein for a couple of years too? Of course Bin-laden and Al-Queda were broadcast with 100% certainty as the guilty party on every network, before the twin towers fell. As a general rule, if the surveillance state can't solve it, they did it.
ReplyDeleteA common thread betw. the anthrax episode and the Epstein episode is the DOJ's apparent involvement and, naturally, their intentional failure to find the culprit or their refusal to even try.
ReplyDeleteThe spores that were mailed were, indeed, of US origin. Further, the powder was of the form of weaponized US DOD origin. No independent labs could have created that powder with those spores. The logical conclusion: DOD - Rumsfeld, cheney. The DOJ went on wild goose chases and the media dutifully reported them.
There is too much coincidental ineptitude wrt Epstein. But don't discount all the other powerful players that Epstein had "goods" on. Trump *IS* too stupid to orchestrate lunch, much less a perfect murder. But he knows a lot of assholes who could do it. Putin could be prevailed upon by his "boy" to do it. Barr should be high on the list. The Saudis? Andrew? Slick willie? How many more are there that the media has smothered?
If I were Epstein, I'd have stashed away copies of whatever I had, including videos, to guarantee that nobody slit my throat or put polonium into my coffee. But I suppose Epstein was far too trusting.
May I point out, again and still, that dozens of credible accusations that trump committed sexual abuse/rape/predation were NOT sufficient grounds for Pelosi to begin the charade of impeachment? Just as kidnapping and murdering kids at the border was NOT sufficient grounds?
"... But I suppose Epstein was far too trusting."
ReplyDeleteI certainly think he was murdered, but my thought has been that:
a. He was too complacent.
b. He never expected the entire security apparatus of the U.S. government to be employed in finding his "dead man's switch." The FBI carted off tons of stuff from both his Virgin Islands home and his New York mansion.
c. If he was relying on some individual, say a lawyer or "friend," to release the evidence after his death, that person may have decided it is more profitable and/or far less dangerous to not do that. Maybe not the best analogy, but do the rich really think that after the Jackpot, when money is worthless, their security guards are going risk their lives to protect them?
d. It may have been Trump, but there are dozens of multi-millionaires who had plenty or reason to order it and pay for it. Still, Bill Barr still hasn't released the results of an investigation, all talk of prosecuting others has disappeared, and he seems to be pretty actively trying to protect Trump in the impeachment farce. Remember the "turbulent priest." Maybe people acted independently thinking to please DJT.
I agree that Epstein was probably murdered and am pretty sure Trump would be first on my list if I were an investigator. What I'm amazed at is that though many people believe Epstein was murdered and thousands are quick to jump on to the Clinton conspiracy theory bus, this is the only place I can find online where Trump is being seriously considered, even in order to eliminate him as a suspect.
