Here's what I think is next: Trump is going to jump the gun and shock everyone

by ordering an investigation into Epstein's death, and blaming the Clintons.
He's already tweeted about it.
I believe Putin was behind this, and it was all planned out in advance, and will be used to make the Dems look bad before the 2020 election.
Two birds with one stone.

We are talking about evil, greedy power hungry criminals who are in control....Barr, the GOP, and a zillion others will be involved. Don't expect the truth to be revealed.

Any serious suggestion that the Clintons somehow offed Epstein would require an admission that Trump’s Department of Justice- Bill Barr et al- is either in cahoots with the Clintons, or so inept that they couldn’t keep the guy safe.

I suspect there will be some walking back of this particular sound byte tomorrow.

what he thinks happened. Cohen was smart-- he got everything on record before he went to prison. There's no value in icing him now.

He always, ALWAYS, Blames someone else for his own crimes.
If he blames the Clintons that would be tantamount to a confession.

Make no mistake that Putin is going to stir up some shit with the Epstein investigation, and it's going to get really ugly.

The "suicide" came as no surprise to me. The first attack on Epstein was a warning to play ball with the upcoming scenario; obviously, he didn't go for it.

Now the Republicans can control the narrative. Remember when a lady who once worked for Mueller was offered a mere $20,000 to smear him? That operation was amateur hour. The one that's about to hit this country will be fully professional, and fully funded. Any girl in Epstein's orbit can earn an eight-figure payoff if she smears Clinton.

And when the smear hits, there will be plenty of Clinton-hate here in the pages of DU. Some of it will be manufactured by the Alt Rightists in disguise. But much of it will be sincere.

Weeks ago, Trump signaled this play when he said that someone should investigate the people who went to Epstein's island. Although the flight records do NOT have Clinton going to that island, the right-wing media has been claiming that he did -- for years.

Virginia Roberts, in her original deposition, refused to mention that she was recruited at Mar-A-Lago, and that her father is a Trump employee. She never mentioned Bill Richardson or George Mitchell, both of whom can be linked to Clinton. And suddenly we are hearing about Glenn Dubin, who has donated to Clinton.

Oh yeah -- the "new revelations" are also smearing Ehud Barak, whom Bibi Netanyahu despises.

Ghislaine will corroborate the false allegations against Clinton. She knows what happened to her father (and probably works for Mossad, just as he did).

We've all been treating Virginia Roberts favorably, because she originally pointed the finger at Dershowitz, whom nobody likes. But she has already retracted (at least officially) her accusation against him. All of her new "recovered memories" (if I may use that term) concern Democrats.

I guess we can't blame her. The same pressure that was applied to Nastya Rybka has probably been applied to her.

The Democrats are doomed in 2020, now that the Trumpists control the Epstein narrative.
