Epstein named some prominent and extremely powerful men, and truth be told, cover-ups do happen.
Personally, I find it a little odd that he was taken off of suicide watch. Still not clear as to when or why that happened.
At the very least, it lends credence to the possibility that he was allowed to commit suicide.
In any other case I would agree. But we are not talking about murderers of adults, or rapists of adults, or Mafia bosses like Gotti.
Famous or not, child molesters don't do well in prison.
What could Epstein gain? NOTHING. Even if he made a deal to rat out other famous people, he'd at best get isolation, but even then if he ratted someone out to get that, that would make him more of a target and that WOULD create more of an incentive to those involved to have him murdered. He was already fucked.
Outside forces in his circle with his money, even if involved, still would have no reason to risk making an order, knowing that child molesters are already hated.
Er...Epstein was awaiting trial in Special Housing, Brian.
He was already separated from the general population and had already started singing like a canary.
