Excellent piece with which I fully agree.

I concur generally. However, for clarity: there's no need to argue that President Trump engineered the death. It's entirely possible, indeed plausible, that Epstein's death was arranged/threatened by his own and Trump's handlers/sponsors, without Trump himself ever hearing anything about it - including any attempt to negotiate. It's not the sort of thing that his handlers would want Trump to hear about, if only out of fear he'd mess it all up by midnight tweets etc.

I'm sure a full release of the files will sort out all these questions!

Indeed. But, perhaps, "would" rather than "will"! ;)

“Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?” Henry II and Trump are both known for keeping their hands clean.

Quite so! But it didn't work for Henry II - he was forced on pilgrimage complete with sackcloth etc. It might or might not work for Trump. But since the Bay of Pigs fiasco the so-called deep state has been careful to keep its mouth shut about such operations: because, if a President decides to go non-conformist (like JFK) and figures it out, he just might deep-six it or otherwise interfere in matters that are none of their business.;)

Remember as you read these that Bill Clinton is a known associate of Jeffrey Epstein and it is entirely possible that he participated in some of those despicable activities:

Clinton isn't even calling for the entire cache of documents to be released. He's calling specifically for all documents related to him to be released.

There are only two kinds of people: Trump worshipers, and people who live in reality. And there is only one thing they agree on: Epstein didn't kill himself.

That letter is too convenient. Its purpose seems to be to sell the narrative Epstein “suicided” under cover of exposing whats already know. Unlike the photo, there is no way this accidentally slips through. Would be interesting to compare this handwriting to anything known to have been written by Epstein

Patterns frequently make the difference between speculation and legitimate circumstantial evidence. We all deserve to know the truth, ESPECIALLY the victim survivors.

The truth just is and it will come out. It has to. If there remains a system of justice in the United States, Donald Trump will stand trial for at least a fraction more of what he has done. Either way, he will pay the consequences for his unending evil in the next life.

I don’t believe in the Bible or organized religion; both have done a hell of a “good” job forcing contrived social “order” and causing indescribable suffering to countless human beings. I do, however, think there could be something to the notion that God/the universe allows some treacherous among us to live long evil lives so the consequences of those lives are completely justified in the next life. If this notion is true, can we take any solace in knowing it applies to Trump? Likely not, because human beings continue to suffer because of him and others who emulate and are emboldened by him.

I believe you to be correct in your assessment

I have no proof either

But

Being exposed to Trump’s actions over too long of time and reading his history and viewing his relationships makes it difficult to dismiss the idea that he was involved in some direct or indirect way and probably with agreement or maybe assistance from his allegedly vast organized poisonous spider web of criminality.
