      It could have been any number of people. He had dirt on half the politicians and business leaders in the country. Lots of people wanted him dead.

        Yeah but there’s the classic elements to solving a murder mystery: means, motive, and opportunity.

        Trump had all three.

      No. There’s talk about he’s alive and living in israel. Which makes a lot of since. Epstein was too powerful to be killed.

        Where did this theory come from? Why is it gaining traction? I heard it from someone in real life the other day. They also claimed Maxwell is with him. I was absolutely gobsmacked that this theory is evidently a thing now.

        If he was too powerful to be killed then he would’ve been too powerful to even go to jail. If they possessed the ability to smuggle him out of prison then they possessed the ability to have him vanish before being arrested.

          The strings aren’t pulled until they need to be, and when they are, they’re paired with smoke and mirrors, so the media can sell a working system and avoid plebeian unrest and vigilantes.
