apparently we tolerate political assassinations in this country. Welcome to the gilded age.

Sure hope nothing happens to those tapes. NASA had a helluva time proving they went to the moon since they destroyed all the tapes.
But nobody is suspicious about that. They needed to record over those priceless artifacts because tapes are expensive.

Look to the White House. roamer65 Aug 2019 #1
That's interesting jberryhill Aug 2019 #2
Wonder if the forensics will show they've been made by small, little hands... Blue Owl Aug 2019 #3
Is that jail on Fifth Avenue, by any chance? jberryhill Aug 2019 #8
If nothing else is conclusive ... lpbk2713 Aug 2019 #4
Or if the guards have mysterious accidents. Nt raccoon Aug 2019 #15
If he hanged himself wouldn't there be ligature marks BigmanPigman Aug 2019 #5
Good point. JoeOtterbein Aug 2019 #6
They would have had to hang him, even post mortem because lunatica Aug 2019 #45
Your headline is misleading as that bone being broken is more commonly caused by strangulation. brush Aug 2019 #7
Yes, why leave that out? njhoneybadger Aug 2019 #14
It was a copy and paste from the tweet. MelissaB Aug 2019 #25
You can edit it though to reflect that that bone break happens more often in strangulation. brush Aug 2019 #33

From the Houston Chronicle: Suicide appears somewhat unlikely. triron Aug 2019 #10
I would guess (and it's just a guess) lapfog_1 Aug 2019 #30
Maybe he strangled himself and had a bedsheet scarf. Confusion solved. 7wo7rees Aug 2019 #52
Wow, how inconclusive! ArcticFox Aug 2019 #11

Epstein died in Trump/Barr's custody. radius777 Aug 2019 #16
I know the guards were exhausted, but what if they Ilsa Aug 2019 #17
They are using this 'exhaustion' as an excuse. triron Aug 2019 #50
The fact is Epstein strangled himself DeminPennswoods Aug 2019 #18
That would seem very unlikely to break bones to me Ron Obvious Aug 2019 #19
When properly done, DeminPennswoods Aug 2019 #22
Is this true? Mike 03 Aug 2019 #31
AFAIK, yes DeminPennswoods Aug 2019 #44
As I understand it, he wasn't even hanging, but kneeling. LisaL Aug 2019 #20
Of course he'd have been kneeling DeminPennswoods Aug 2019 #21
There's not enough height to get the bone damage that has been reported NightWatcher Aug 2019 #23
Houston Chronicle also casts doubt on the 'purported suicide' triron Aug 2019 #26
You seem so sure of yourself malaise Aug 2019 #28
Just applying some logic DeminPennswoods Aug 2019 #46
Except he didn't anchor the bed sheet to something high. He made a noose out of bed sheet, Autumn Aug 2019 #24
That would've been my guess based on the DeminPennswoods Aug 2019 #48
Barr's AG will investigate this fully, right? just like they will the evidence from slave mansion? Maine-i-acs Aug 2019 #29
Of course he will Bradical79 Aug 2019 #35
All 30 thousand of them, I'm sure lunatica Aug 2019 #47
I do find this raises serious questions Mike 03 Aug 2019 #32
Normal in that it happens enough to not be super rare Bradical79 Aug 2019 #36
where are the security tapes? Did they fall asleep too? librechik Aug 2019 #34
My understanding is that the cell itself had no video monitoring Bradical79 Aug 2019 #37

Watch them conclude: harumph Aug 2019 #38
broken hyoid bone is usually the end--can't breathe (or speak) after that. I am skeptical librechik Aug 2019 #41
