ya but he did though, until someone provides actual evidence that he didnt. Lots of people in his exact same position do kill themselves.

Lets try to be better than the trump filth that push insane conspiracy sh!t all the time please.

The cameras all “malfunctioned” and all the guards decided to take a nap.

Sure.

Is the next suggestion that his elite pedo sex ring is a conspiracy theory?

Except the cameras didn’t malfunction. There’s video of the cell block that shows an empty hallway. Now, there’s no video of inside the cells due to privacy concerns. There’s never cameras that show the inside of cells. This privacy feature has been turned into a “There’s no video from the cell because of broken cameras” by conspiracy nutjobs who don’t actually know anything.

As to the guards sleeping or playing on their phones… There were only two for that section of the prison, and they had been sleeping or otherwise faking their rounds for weeks, if not months. The video evidence from the cell block is how they were caught.

Epstein had been specifically pulled off suicide watch, even after attempting suicide previously. That’s the part that’s sketchy. He also had a visit from his lawyer a few days before where he changed his will to fuck over his victims.

But no, idiot meme lords think some shadowy government figures came in and killed him without leaving any evidence of existing.

I’ve read actual accounts of things the CIA does, and they wish they were even half as competent as the nutjobs make them out to be. Remember, these are the same people who used “pizza” as a code word in Lebanon to mean, “go to the Pizza Hut for more orders”, and then let Hezbollah sit and watch about a dozen agents and informants meeting at Pizza Hut.

https://www.reuters.com/article/world/fbi-studies-two-broken-cameras-outside-cell-where-epstein-died-source-idUSKCN1VI2M3/

(Reuters) - Two cameras that malfunctioned outside the jail cell where financier Jeffrey Epstein died as he awaited trial on sex-trafficking charges have been sent to an FBI crime lab for examination, a law enforcement source told Reuters. Epstein’s lawyers Reid Weingarten and Martin Weinberg told U.S. District Judge Richard Berman in Manhattan on Tuesday they had doubts about the New York City chief medical examiner’s conclusion that their client killed himself. The two cameras were within view of the Manhattan jail cell where he was found dead on Aug. 10. A source earlier told Reuters two jail guards failed to follow a procedure overnight to make separate checks on all prisoners every 30 minutes. He had been taken off suicide watch prior to his death.

Malfunctioning cameras, sleeping guards that were rotated in, controversy over the medical examiner report…

Not being able to prove something happened and nothing happening are two different things.

According to the official investigation Epstein did commit suicide so that’s what the journalist should report, but that doesn’t mean that the journalist can’t add something like “in suspicious circumstances” to make clear that the circumstances of Epstein’s death were well, very suspicious.

It’s the BBC, not the Guardian. The journalist literally can’t, by law, add “in suspicious circumstances”

Do you have a reference for that law? I’m interested in seeing how it’s worded.

They certainly can report on that others found it suspicious

I don’t believe it’s a conspiracy though that guards were switched out and the cameras went out at the time he “killed himself” and this was during the time that Bill Barr the walrus himself was the AG of the US.

At least I hope that’s not fake, I’m fairly sure that’s what I read at the time.

Is murdering a high profile person with dangerous information that insane? I can’t say what happened, but him being killed seems within the realm of possibility considering what we know.

Also, looking from the outside, I’m fairly certain there is plenty of filth on the dem side too.

If you think he killed himself, you’re in luck. I have a helluva deal for you on a really nice bridge.
