With Donald Trump’s Jeffrey Epstein scandal getting uglier by the day, news that the convicted pedophile committed suicide in his Lower Manhattan jail cell on Saturday morning has experts wondering how a prisoner on suicide watch could hang himself undetected, and the internet noticed.
Needless to say, many speculated — and rightly so — that more than a few rich and powerful men likely breathed a sigh of relief that the jet-setting millionaire would not come to trial or work out a plea deal that could involve names not already mentioned.
“It doesn’t really matter now if Epstein was killed or was simply given the opportunity to kill himself. None of us believe this isn’t suspicious as hell but we can’t do anything about it, and the people responsible know it,” one commenter speculated on Twitter.
And that was the general tenor across the internet.
“So- Epstein is dead. There will be no trial. No more big reveals. No justice for victims,” Mia Farrow tweeted.
“Jeffrey Epstein died in William Barr’s custody. No bizarre theory changes that one inescapable fact,” another user wrote.
Take a look at some of the comments:
Important to remember… Epstein’s universe was NOT partisan. It ranges across the some most powerful people in the world – royals, corporate leaders, politicians, wall street giants, scientists, academics & socialites.

This is bullshit. #jeffreyepstien was not just a #pedophile he was a #sex #trafficker who trafficked #girls to the #political class of the world and was protected by the same. Is that why his accomplices have not been indicted? The investigations must continue. #justice.

It's not lost on me that #jeffreyepstien committed
" Suicide " the day after a story ran that some of the most powerful men in the world had sex with an underage child supplied by #jeffreyepstien.— John Conley (@bigbux98) August 10, 2019
So Bill Barr’s dad hired Epstein to work at his school in NY and Bill Barr allowed Epstein to kill himself in a jail in NY ?

I'm not one to believe in conspiracy theories really, but the fact that Jeffrey Epstein has committed suicide whilst under suicide watch, looks suspicious as hell to me #jeffreyepstien

Even the time of day in this story is shocking. The first check-in on a prisoner who had already attempted suicide once was not until 7:30 a.m.?https://t.co/wwNOE3Lyoo

#jeffreyepstien hanged himself. Hanging takes time, he was surely a high risk suicide and thus under constant supervision, and numerous very powerful people were about to be named. Let the conspiracy theories begin. And this time I'll be listening!
