Ok i worked in a Mental Hospital for about 14 years. If there were threats of harming themselves, a pt was placed in what we call camera observation 24 /7. until DRS. decided to rescind that order! NOW i'm sure everyone ( in this facility) knew there would be a hell of an outcry if something happened to Epstein, AFTER he threatened suicide. The Hospital management, to my thinking should have given HIM the MOST WATCHED STATUS!! FULL CAMERA observation AT ALL TIMES!! This just doesn't make sense to me. I do not trust BARR for one minute. I'm hoping the family members (if any) should request FULL independent investigation of this facility! The House has much to do BUT i hope they become involved somehow.

(67 posts)There are any number of indications that this was an op. I do not believe that Epstein committed suicide.
Here's how I see it:
The first attack was intended to cajole Epstein into providing false evidence against Clinton and other Dems. Epstein resisted, probably because he felt that he could somehow beat the rap again by threatening to spill the beans against Trump. So Epstein was dealt with permanently.
Now, the story will be written by Barr and Trump. Epstein won't contradict it. Ghislaine Maxwell knows what happened to her father and to Epstein. She'll "confirm" every lie told about Clinton and others.
For more than a decade, the forces of international neo-fascism has hammered home one theme: Any politician they don't like (Democrats and Bush-friendly Republicans) must be a pedophile. That propaganda campaign is the basis of the QAnon subculture.
This propaganda line did not arise spontaneously. There has always been a long-term plan to use it as a political weapon. We're dealing with people who make no secret of their contempt for democracy. They will do anything to get rid of it.
A woman was offered $20,000 to lodge a sexual smear against Mueller. An amateurish attempt. Add another zero -- or two -- to that figure, and the woman might well have done as requested.
Imagine the kinds of lies that Putin's billions can buy.
Does this sound like an outrageous conspiracy theory? I suggest you look up the story of Harvey Matusow, an actor hired to smear liberals and union officials as Communist Party members in the 1950s. The mastermind of that plot was Roy Cohn, mentor to Roger Stone and Donald Trump.
Look at who the latest allegations have targeted: Democrats close to Clinton. Oh, and there was also a smear leveled against Ehud Barak, who is not beloved of Bibi. That fact tells us that there may be Israeli (or at least Likud) involvement in the upcoming smear-storm.
The smears against Clinton will be echoed and expanded by any number of "progressive" voices who will all turn out to be turncoats and agents of the H.A. Goodman school. DU and similar sites will be flooded with "feminists" (who have lunch in St. Petersburg) insisting that we must believe the women without question.
Any male Democratic candidate will be vulnerable. The female Democrats will be vulnerable via their husbands and former boyfriends.
It's gonna be BRUTAL. And any number of dunderheaded young "woke" progressives will aid and abet the destruction of America.

(16,616 posts)and maybe he'll do as you suggest but I don't know if they are close.
Especially agree with your point about Barr. He is acting ridiculously suspicious by suddenly bending over backwards with his faux outrage and posturing after months of keeping a low profile other than to shield Trump and distort the Mueller probe. He's acting like Lady MacBeth.
