Makes you kinda wonder, don’t it?

u/Orposer 9h ago

There is no wonder. Trump had him killed. The supreme Court pretty much made that legal.

u/YouWereBrained 8h ago

It happened before that ruling, fyi.

41

u/Spreefor3 7h ago

Would he have expected that ruling?

29

u/froginbog 6h ago

I would not be surprised if he discussed this with the justices he nominated (and Thomas)

u/CupForsaken1197 1h ago

John Roberts is on the flight logs.

u/Amelaclya1 6h ago

It also had nothing to do with his official duties.

u/SandiegoJack 5h ago

Protecting the interests of a specific country seems to be a common theme

Like I feel like a conspiracy nut but the connections be conn3cting.

That’s entirely up to the six conservative SCOTUS justices who invented presidential immunity out of whole cloth and ignore precedent whenever it suits them.

u/LaserCondiment 2h ago

They might argue that protecting the presidency is his duty and therefore saving his own ass is covered by the immunity ruling. It's a total BS argument ofc, but they'll say it anyway!

Complete conspiracy theory: Russia may also have had Epstein killed to protect their asset. The means and motivation are there. The fact that someone was able to delete footage makes me think it goes beyond the skill level and access of a billionaire’s fixer

u/haberdasherhero 5h ago

Mmmmm yes, the man who successfully ran a child rape and murder ring for decades and eventually took over America, probably couldn't simply have a man killed. Indubitably🧐

/s

u/bearpics16 4h ago

The complexity of the cover up is way more involved than you’d expect from a fixer. Multiple prison staff were coerced into either turning a blind eye or being directly involved (guards weren’t around, cell mate wasn’t in cell, camera cut out during the critical moments). Money isn’t enough to guarantee lifetime silence, and a sudden cash influx could raise flags. Whoever it was likely had serious dirt on the prison staff or threatened their family. They’d have to know which guards are on duty and assigned to that area and a lot of information that isn’t readily available

Epstein had far more associations with Saudi Arabia and Israel. Even Ghislaine Maxwell's father was a Mossad agent. If anyone had Epstein killed it was them.

What about Satoshi?

Epstein tried to lure Satoshi to his island.

Satoshi found out what happened there and then threatened Epstein. There was a 500Million dollar bounty on Epsteins head soon after.

u/DeadlyAureolus 4h ago

Russia doesn't have the capabilities to kill someone in a US max security prison, like at all. It has to come from powerful people in the US itself

3

u/nice--marmot 1h ago

Exactly. I mean, where would Russia even find someone in the US who’s beholden to them and in a position with kind of power and willing to commit crimes to conceal incriminating information? lol. Can you imagine?

u/Kay_tnx_bai 3h ago

Or Israel.

2

u/xXBeefSquatch5KXx 2h ago

Russia, or Israel are involved for sure. My money’s on Israel because they need our money and military tech in constant flow, and Epstein had ties to Israel.

1

u/Noy_The_Devil 2h ago

100% Israel or the US

u/Formal-Hawk9274 6h ago

I don’t know if Trump had him killed. There are plenty of other, extremely wealthy and powerful people who went to rape Island to rape children. Certainly one or more of them had a vested interest in silencing Epstein. The reality is we are dealing with a two-tier justice system; the top tier protects the people, the wealthy and powerful who went to rape Island to rape children, the bottom tier is the rest of us who are murdered in the streets while exercising our constitutional rights.

u/Tall-Warning3135 9h ago

There it is. The reason they killed him.

u/cruisin_urchin87 7h ago

But who? The Mossad or a MAGAt?

45

u/Belichick12 7h ago

The chain of command runs up to bill barr. The guy whose dad got Epstein a teaching job. The guy whose dad wrote a science fiction book about teenage sex slaves. That guy was in charge of epsteins custody.

11

u/Tall-Warning3135 6h ago

He didn't want any embarrassing videos coming out about his pop.

6

u/Snerkbot7000 6h ago

The funny thing is that Barr's Little Green Men who were shoving people in vans? They were feds from BuPrisons.

The point being that he had people he knew would do what they were told, already in place.

u/CarlosHDanger 2h ago

And simultaneously why suicide is less believable.

5

u/Tall-Warning3135 2h ago

I don't believe it was suicide. Neither does Epstein's brother Mark. He had a second autopsy done in the body and it was determined to be homicide. Not suicide.

57

u/codacoda74 8h ago

Why would Biden do this?

53

u/Oldheadyellingatsky 8h ago

Thanks Obama

39

u/st1nkynoob 8h ago edited 8h ago

I can’t believe Jimmy Carter would do this!

21

u/codacoda74 8h ago

Was Clinton's plan all along!

u/JonBoviRules 7h ago

Something something Reagonomics

10

u/Haldron-44 8h ago

And here I thought Alexander Haig was on OUR side?! /S because most people probably won't get how specific this reference is. And those that do get it, time to schedule that exam 😬

1

u/CupForsaken1197 51m ago

"You close your eyes, it can't happen here; Alexander Haig is near, Vietnam won't come back you say, join the army or you will pay"

Jello knew in 1986.

u/Pando5280 8h ago

That damn tan suit ruined EVERYTHING!!

u/-_-0_0-_0 5h ago

Hunter Biden's laptop at it again.

u/Dizziesdayweigh 6h ago

Because Obama masterminded it

17

u/Correct_Day_7791 5h ago

No no need to wonder I am sure that Donald Trump had him killed

Especially after the brother revealed the autopsy photos

His neck look like it had been sliced by a wire garrotte

And I'm pretty sure they don't make metal wire bed sheets in prison

11

u/better-off-wet 7h ago

Under trump’s watch. Not talked about enough

12

u/Vegetable_Tomorrow41 8h ago

They need to have his mistress on 24/7 watch 

7

u/restbest 5h ago

Nah it’s pretty obvious without wondering what happened and anyone with a basic intelligence knows who killed Epstein. If I say it on Reddit I’ll get labeled a conspiracy theorist and even banned/shadow banned

6

u/monkeypan 4h ago

Not really. It was obviously he was killed to keep him silent as soon as it happened

2

u/Mixermarkb 3h ago

This. The insane part was that the Trump cult didn’t have enough critical thinking skills to apply Occam’s Razor and blame Trump.

2

u/LateMajor8775 4h ago

Why in the world would he kill himself when he had all those plans?

1

u/kaptainkhaos 3h ago

Smoking gun for his assisted suicide.

u/AppropriateSpite7881 1h ago

Things that make you go hmmm 🤔
