Several news sources said that Epstein may be ѕυιcιdєd or murdered while in custody or freed on bail awaiting his trial.
Epstein is a huge liability to the Clintons, and we all know about their body count. One more murder will mean nothing to them.
This isn't about the Clintons. Nothing will happen to the Clintons ... unless it's necessary to get at Trump. This is about getting at Trump after he refused go comply with the Jєωιѕн command to bomb Iran. So their agent Epstein is now threatening to sing unless Trump complies. And if Trump doesn't, Epstein will implicate Trump.
As apollo pointed out, the media spin has been the relationship between Trump, Acosta, and Epstein. For all we know, Acosta was planted in the Trump cabinet precisely for this purpose.
