And Epstein was given a sweet heart deal by the Bush administration. Alexander Acosta, us attorney gave a plea deal that shut down the probe and immunized Epstein from federal charges. If that name seems familiar, it was because he served as the Secretary of Labor for Trump during the first Trump (fiasco) administration.
Biden is not the DOJ. You should be glad the President didn't micromanage the DOJ. You should be upset that the DOJ didn't do anything about this (assuming there was anything they could do).
Refusing to allow the DOJ to cover up pedophilia is not micromanagment. If any agency in the executive branch is allowed to go against the president's wishes that is a failing of the president. There's plenty of blame to go around here.
That's still two years of nothing. It's really important to keep the focus on trump, but after he's taken care of I really hope we come back and get everyone else who helped cover this up (which includes a lot of people usually thought of as "the good guys")
Yup. Even if he took his own life, it was very likely a “quit or you’re being fired” situation. Someone made it clear to him that he’d be given an opportunity to end his life, and if he didn’t take that opportunity, his death would be horrific.

And the AG Bill Barr is the son of the guy who hired Epstein to work at the posh NYC school. Some people would call that motive.

Valid criticism.

Gislaine was found guilty in 2021 and sentenced in 2022, if the list was found/known at that point it's more like 2 years

Correction: Was murdered.

Yep, my bet is he got offered a choice between a chance to DIY or Reacher style “oops, he was accidentally released into gen pop (or death row)”.
Either way is a win for people that wanted him gone one is easier to keep quiet legally the other is easier to appease the rabble.
thepsudo
There's no actual evidence that he was murdered. But however he died, it was during Trump's first term.

By Trump paid goons
thepsudo
Minor nitpick: "Trump-paid" should be hyphenated. It's an adjective phrase, and the hyphens indicate that it should be treated as a single adjective.

Maybe

He still died, though; it's not incorrect. Death does tend to be the end result of being murdered.
DocFunkenstein
It is more correct.
"His heart slowed down a little" is also correct, by that logic.

Not really, this is just pedantry that Fascists use to keep is fighting.

You're literally the assholes being pedantic.
