A Question From the Department of You Can’t Make This Stuff Up
This is the stuff of Earl Stanley Gardner’s, Perry Mason and Agatha Christie’s, Hercule Poirot:
NYT 25 July 2019
Jeffrey Epstein Is Found Injured in Jail Cell
Mr. Epstein, the financier charged with the sex trafficking of minors, had marks on his neck. The incident was being investigated as a possible assault or suicide attempt.
NYT 10 August 2019
Jeffrey Epstein Commits Suicide at Manhattan Jail, Officials Say
The body of Mr. Epstein, the financier indicted on sex trafficking charges last month, was found Saturday morning.
Is there a conspiracy between the headlines?

Three possible stories, my guess is in ascending order of probability:
1. Murder.
2. Suicide with someone paid off to look the other way. After all, he was a billionaire and, even if his money wasn’t used, there are enough people who want the embarrassment to go away who are probably squeamish about murder but who talked themselves into believing they were doing the guy a favor by helping him commit suicide and they were killing two birds with one stone.
3. Suicide, insane incompetence at the NYC jail.
I could easily see one guy forgetting to tell the next that this prisoner had recently attempted suicide. He’s kind of high profile for a mistake like that but it’s still possible.
Maybe we’ll find out which. Maybe we won’t.

1. A Trump/Putin maneuver?
Trump is pointing a finger at the Clintons…
Jeffrey Epstein’s connections to Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, explained

2. The obvious and easy explanation…Much too obvious and much too easy…
3. He was on suicide watch and someone had to take him off of suicide watch intentionally…There’s a chain of command and a paper trail…
If this was murder, the top suspects should be the folks who took Epstein off of 24/7 suicide watch…
Too easily detected and determined as conspiratorial murder mysteries go….

A fourth scenario:
Epstein staged the entire thing from beginning to end so he could escape and flee the country under the cover story that he died by his own hand in jai…
