Jeffrey Epstein Case: Expert Hired By His Family Suggests Doubt On Suicide Finding
A pathologist who observed the autopsy says Epstein's neck fractures are "more indicative" of homicidal strangulation than suicide. The medical examiner stands by her conclusion.

A medical examiner hired by Jeffrey Epstein‘s family concluded he was likely murdered.
Who would benefit most if Epstein was silenced?

So the NY Times trashed Hillary for something slight and let Trump slide on a connection to child sex trafficking?

Who is trying to keep the Epstein files hidden?
Who has the authority to keep the Epstein files hidden?
Who could be implicated in crimes if the Epstein files are not kept hidden?
All roads lead to Donald Trump.

"The reason why this is of concern, is—he's the president of the United States, he's been found in another case by a civil jury to have been liable for sexually abusing a woman in a department store, he's a convicted felon, and he's had dozens of women accuse him of sexual abuse."

And it got her an unprecedented transfer as a sex offender to a minimum security Club Fed where she has laptop access, individual meals delivered, a puppy, and yoga class. For a habitual liar and child trafficker to get a deal like that from DOJ is pretty sweet.

So according to Trump the 2021 covid economy Biden inherited from Trump is Biden’s fault. And the 2025 economy is also Biden’s fault. But Trump gets credit for the economy he inherited from Obama. Can we have a date when Republicans are going to take responsibility for anything?

After Ghislaine Maxwell lied to Todd Blanche, someone waived her sex offender status and moved her to Club Fed with "OUT" custody - allowing her to work outside the prison walls. 3 months ago, I got her Bureau of Prisons points screen as proof. We still don't know who approved all this.
BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: Senator Whitehouse asked the BOP for Ghislaine Maxwells sex offender waiver, custody level, transfer code, and security point score. I have them. She's also been granted the ability to leave the facility for work assignments. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

Wolff: I was trying to encourage Epstein to use what information he had—let Trump publicly tell a lie then expose the lie. Epstein was afraid of Trump. In the end, I think he was starting to get to this point that he might publicly talk about this relationship but then he was arrested and died.

One of the real revelations of the Epstein emails is that Epstein himself was not especially bright, dispelling the "genius" tag that had always seemed ill fitting.
It's almost like there was some other reason rich and powerful men were drawn to him, some other skill he had. Weird.
