30. Is ANYONE surprisd by this?

What we know: Epstein was a college drop9out from Queens. He was inexplicably hired by William Barr, Sr, to b a teacher at a prep school, Dalton, a job for which he was completely unqulified. Barr, Sr had been an OSS agent during WWII. The OSS had become the CIA. Barr' Sr's son, William P. Barr, was Attorney General under Dubya Bush, at the time Epstein got his sweetheart deal as a sex offender, reportedly due to extrem pressure from the DOJ and other unspecified government agencies.

Epstein's next reported job was at Bear Stearns, another job for which he was supremely unqualified. This seems to be the period when he began pimping teenagers to middle aged businessmen and getting rich quick. In fact, the rise in his fortunes can only be described as meteoric, far out of proportion to any of the other pimps in this country peddling teenaged girls, and there are plenty of them.

Epstein left the world of finance to become a full time party animal, pimp, and....?

What I want to know is why he was given not one but two obvious cover jobs. What was his real job? Who financed his sex business, especially the purchase of his jet, his island, and all the work that was done on that island? Supplying young girls to businessmen at parties doesn't pay that well, modeling agencies have done it forever. Even the overpriced orgies on his island (once he got it up and running) wouldn't have paid that well. I've thought for a long time that blackmail of one type or another was his real business. That would pay that well.

If the KGB did turn him, when did that happen? When did Barr, Sr. notice? Did he get turned or was he just playing both sides? He was first and foremost a crook, after all. How was big money being laundered through his setup and how involved was Fatso in it? I have my guess here but it's only a guess. Was Maria Butina one of the Russian agents supplied to Epstein and was he privy to her target list as she fucked her way up the right wing food chain? Butina got caught. Who else is still out there?

It's pretty clear that the words "national security" were used a lot to get Epstein that sweetheart unlocked jail cell deal in the mid 2000s. Was there any truth to that or was Barr just protecting his Daddy? I suspect it was the former, people covering their asses because they'd been fooled and burned by Epstein.

And finally, who killed the bastard? I can see jailers motivated to look the other way while rich scum was eliminated. The injuries were more consistent with a choke hold than a hanging with a soft fabric noose. Who set it up? There's probably a long list there, a hell of a lot of people never wanted him to talk about anything.
