That doesn't mean I don't also think:
1) He wasn't just allowed to, but encouraged to, by all means possible, while in custody of Barr. Guards probably accidentally dropped big bottles of sleeping pills in his cell, beer bottles, etc.
2) That he wasn't finally rounded up specifically for this purpose. He was a HUGE loose end out there. When that Brown article came out in November of 2018, it was a HUGE wake-up call for a LOT of very powerful people, Trump included. He had to be taken out of circulation, and if there was ANY way to make it permanent, before testifying ... it was to be encouraged.
The idea however that he might not really be dead? C'mon people. Lets not get all 'Elvis Fan' here. NOBODY would want some secret escape for this guy. Then he's a BIGGER loose end. He ain't THAT powerful, nor that well-liked, by anyone.

(2,088 posts)except, the wake up call part.. Im not sure that the "buddies" of Epstein who preyed on young women have the ability to control their frickin illness enough to have a "wake up call" I made a chess analogy in another post,,will pm you that text. I just don't see anyone predator involved,, having any kind of "enlightening moment " today.

(67,086 posts)1. How do you kill yourself on suicide watch?
2. His death seems too convenient.
3. No article I've seen provides much detail on how he did it ... what he used. I thought cells were stripped on suicide watch and minimal of clothes worn. ... plus cameras.
Not trying to say anything ... just thoughts that came to mind.

(10,096 posts)Maybe he was acting better and they either rescinded the watch or just got lax. I think he was just in a cell like other inmates not a special facility. I imagine the guards have plenty of other concerns than just one guy.
But the idea that hes escaped and some other stiff substituted is pretty far out there. Like Hitler escaping Berlin at the end of the war. Actually that theory holds more water, but also is just the stuff of movies.
