To protect the people in power, as always.

what is insane is that everyone just accepts it, knows that this happens, and dont go lynch the ones in charge immediately.

There was a time when the guy making the cannon had to sit on top of it for the first shot. Perhaps this kind of policy could be adapted to other situations aswell.

Take the job to guard epstein? take the consequences when things go wrong.

Protect criminals? take the very real consequences if found out

For a while, my pet conspiracy theory was that this was Epstein's real cause of death: a lynching by a prison guard made to look like suicide.

I never took it too seriously, because no actual evidence; now I'm more inclined to think it was a coconspirator hoping it would mean no more evidence getting out.

Epstein being murdered is the one conspiracy that I personally still think may be possible/probable.

All it takes is a single actor paying off some guards to ‘fall asleep’, a camera to be disabled, and a 15 minute window of opportunity. It’s much more probable than something like the US Government planning 9/11 and somehow keeping thousands of co-conspirators silent.

I don’t really spend a whole lot of time thinking about it since as you said, we’ll never know for sure. It just seems at least probable if he actually did have kompromat on powerful people.

		Did you see this? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/epstein-files-jail-cell-death-v... The noose they found in his cell was not the thing that strangled him. If he wasn't murdered then they faked his death.
