Putin has the Epstein files so if Epstein start blabbing, then Putin loses his control over people.

More likely Krasnov was behind it though.

When 2 forensic doctors say that the X-rays on Epstein's neck are not consistent for a hanging but are consistent for strangulation then one can see why the Epstein autopsy remains locked up.

let alone that it came by his own hands. Who's to say that missing video wasn't to cover up them smuggling him out of prison? I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out he's off living on an island somewhere, after having had some plastic surgery.

I've always been astonished people believed all those "coincidences" that allowed it to be called a suicide.

And then we all knew this would happen, didn't we? Wonder what their bank accounts look like today.

But statistically speaking suicide is more likely. It's more than twice as common in prison among maen than in the general population of men. Murder of inmates is pretty rare. Although violence against child sex abusers is higher than against the average inmate.

Still far more likely to be a suicide. And that video does nothing to dispute that.

and said they can't call it a suicide, because it looks like an homicide.

Now that he's dead, everyone cares about him."

Maybe that should come under the heading "Actions have consequences."
