      Say what?? This one is going to be hard to explain *without* a conspiracy theory.https://twitter.com/JesseRodriguez/status/1160175957476438016 …

      NBC News: Jeffrey Epstein killed himself at Manhattan's MCC jail. He was found unresponsive at 7:30am today. Officials say he hanged himself.

      As in, did this man who was protected all his life by corrupt & powerful people also “helped” at the end? Most conspiracy theories make no sense because there are existing realistic answers while the theory demands too much. But a *second* successful attempt needs an explanation.

          My gut: Someone in the “Epstein files” bribed a guard to get something in and/or make himself scarce for a few minutes

          Do narcissists ever kill themselves? Honest question.

          There’s going to be a lot of suspicion on this one. I give it 20 mins before the far right come up with a conspiracy based on their favorite subjects (overlooking the most connected person who has to worry about this is in the WhiteHouse)

          Another thought on this. It doesn’t require an explicit command to get rid of him, just someone (who doesn’t like the crime or Pro-Trump) to turn a blind eye if he did it himself.

          to clarify, Kenneth Lay did not commit suicide while in jail, but its the same principle -someone who is privileged is protected from facing the consequences of his actions, right till the end..
