Epstein's been in prison before for procuring underage girls for sex for the rich and powerful. He wasn't killed then. So why was he killed now? He got off lightly the previous time because of his connections. Something about this situation is different. It may be that a prosecutor decided to really go after Epstein's rich and powerful clients, and was trying to turn Epstein into someone who would testify against his friends for the state.

If a spy agency was clever enough to get into Epstein's cell, then they were also clever enough to walk out with him alive and rescue him, if he was one of their own and they didn't want him to testify. My thought it is that someone powerful didn't want to go to jail on child porn changes, and this person arranged to kill him, not some spy agency. The #MeTo movement appears to have scared the daylights out of someone powerful who thinks they might actually get into trouble this time.

I have a theory about this Epstein thing.

Lots of people think Bill and Hillary are behind it. No doubt Epstein got dirt on Bill and Mossad had him on a leash, but the idea that Epstein got "Vince Fostered" doesn't make any sense.

Bill left office in 2001. Hillary was defeated running for president in 2008 and 2016. That's ancient history. They're has-beens. They no longer control the Deep State. The notion that they had Epstein taken out isn't plausible.

Frankly, it makes more sense to think that Trump or his people had Epstein taken out. I don't think that Epstein had any dirt on Trump, though. Trump is a pretty canny operator, especially when it comes to women. Sure, he's a womanizer, but he's always been careful to not let women take advantage of him. He doesn't drink or use drugs. His ex-wives have been carefully paid off to stay out of sight and keep their mouths shut. The "pussy" videotape and the Stormy Daniels gambit were all they could get on him and both failed. If they had any real dirt on Trump they would have used it by now. They don't.

I think Trump took out Epstein to be able to get at the trove of dirt that Epstein surely kept on prominent Democrats for his own protection. That would explain how Epstein got re-arrested after the softball prosecution and plea deal from 2006-2007. Now the Barr DOJ has it all, a year before the 2020 election. This should surely panic the Democrats.

An alternative hypothesis is that Bibi threw Epstein and Maxwell under the bus to help Trump in 2020. Trump is surely aware of Jewish power. Both he and his father were lifelong New York businessmen and knew damn well that they'd have been crucified if they had ever made enemies of the Jews. Yet, the Trump presidency has been paradoxical: Trump has been slavishly dedicated to Israel -- but it hasn't done him a bit of good with American Jewry, which hates his guts and is leading the impeachment charge. Maybe Trump cashed in the chit Bibi owed him for the Jerusalem embassy and Golan, and Bibi ordered a Mossad hit on Epstein now that the Clintons are out of the picture and the Epstein-Maxwell underage sex trap was no longer useful.

If you follow Netflix Designated Survivor to the end, the White House turns out to be not so virtuous. The more annoying ones get killed off, and the others are all corrupted. The president wins re-election by framing his Republican opponent as plotting an engineered virus that is harmless to whites, and sterilizes non-whites.
