I bet there were lots of sighs of relief in dozens of mansions when Epstein died.

Suicide under suicide watch?
Did a jailer get bribed to give him something?
Is he dead?
They better take DNA from the body to prove it's him.
Funny how names start to come out and now he's 'dead'.

1. His death is irrelevant.

There are still investigations of the original coverup that will remain ongoing.

[Merlot]

3. I hope you're right.

But if they are investigating the original coverup, that may mean going after the prosecutors, etc and not the actual perpetrators and accomplices.

2. The evidence and the witnesses are very much in existence.

What died with him was his own future testimony, and he probably would have declined to give that anyway.

5. There will be no Epstein trial

[Hortensis]

6. Smack. Good point. However, we now know all his plea deals and

other maneuverings have failed. That can't be good news among all the scary-bad for all the other criminals involved in this. Marvin Minsky of MIT is among those just named by one of the victims. And there will be many civil lawsuits against Epstein's estate.

It's not over for Trump or anyone else, besides Epstein himself. (At times like this I regret not being a believer.)

4. This whole case has global implications..what are they going to do with all the witnesses..

oh, that's right, victims aren't to be believed...lay out all the evidence..this is NOT going away....

[Kablooie]

8. There's plenty enough money to make this go away.

And Barr is in control so it will fade away and I wouldn't be surprised if the safe's contents gets 'misplaced' somehow.

7. as in a chess game

If your Queen gets captured, the game isn't over. You have other pieces to carry out the game. I'm not certain Epstein was the "king" of this chess game.. Maybe the queen, in chess parlance. I believe their are other pieces to keep "their game" moving along.
