FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said on Fox News Thursday morning that he is certain Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender, died by suicide while in federal custody — and there is video that supports it.
“There is nothing in the file at this point on the Epstein case — and there is going to be a disclosure on this coming shortly… there is video. That is something the public does not know,” Bongino said in an interview on Fox & Friends.
Bongino clarified that the video in question does not show the “actual act” but proves that Epstein was the only person who came in or out of his cell on the night he died, on August 10, 2019.
I don’t wanna be that guy but it’s funny to me that this is suddenly true after many statements that there is no video and after GenAI/deepfake has hit the mainstream.
I don’t want to be that guy either but it’s also after the guy with known ties to Epstein is the President again and appointed his zealot to run the FBI.
All of it is probably coincidence and/or incompetence but god damn are they making it look like a coverup.
So they admit that they just straight up violated suicide watch rules?
and that they’ve been hiding evidence
This is unfortunately very common even in hospitals. Busy (or lazy) staff just check off their rounds without actually seeing patients all the time, so I think this is 100% plausible in a jail.
I’m not sure you remember the climate around Epstein at the time. The whole world was talking about him. You can’t just oops I forgot to check on him.
It’s what happened right? No guards checked on him?
I I can’t tell if you’re a gaslighting bot or just intentionally being dismissive. Pretending like this was some run of the mill situation is insane. This guy has just gone down for crimes that implicated lots of very powerful people. Everyone all over the world was watching the case very closely. At the time people were actively expecting him to get assassinated at any moment.
They’re not gaslighting though. No one checked on him when he supposedly killed himself. They didn’t discover the body till 6:30am. No one had been to his tier since 10:30 the night before. That’s 8 hours of no supervision, where they were supposed to check every half hour.
The guards that were supposed to check on him every 30 minutes were reported to have been sleeping. The guards just never checked on him for 8 whole hours, where literally anything could have happened.
That’s the point. That shouldn’t have happened, and this case is way too high profile for it to have happened organically. If nobody checked on him, there has to have been a reason for it.
Correct, it shouldn’t have happened, but it did. Everything, literally every part of his death, screams something shady happened.
The whole world anticipating he’s going to get taken out and the guards decide to leave a 8 hour window while they slept. And this doesn’t look ridiculous to you?
Of course it’s fucking ridiculous. But it’s exactly what happened. He was left alone, unsupervised, for 8 hours.
They just had to wait for generative AI to get good enough first!
Who cares about the video, release the investigation and names of people involve.
A high profile running a rape operation on US soils and they are scared to share info about it.
Land of the free
I would like to take this opportunity to promote my own personal theory - Epstein was allowed to kill himself like a Roman general falling on his sword or a disgraced samurai being allowed to commit seppuku. It was mutually beneficial for both him and his elite friends for him to kill himself. For him, because he wouldn’t have to go through trial being exposed as a pedophile sex trafficker, and for his friends so their involvement wouldn’t have attention brought to it. This is what I have believed from the very beginning. It’s way cleaner to pay guards to look the other way while he kills himself and lose the security cam footage than it is to pay them to murder Epstein or watch a hitman do it. “Epstein didn’t kill himself” kind of misses the point because it doesn’t matter who actually killed him, the corrupt justice system allowed him to die in custody to protect powerful individuals that Epstein was connected to. If there is a video of Epstein killing himself, it still doesn’t exonerate the justice system because they still intentionally allowed it to happen.
