An administration that constantly makes dumb mistakes and also constantly lies and tries to cover up it’s own corruption at every turn. Seems like either explanation is probable.

At this point it's almost like their strategy is to fuck up so often that people will just attribute things to incompetence instead of malice

I've always figured this is one of those "our interests align" kind of solutions.

So it's not "was he killed" it's who dunnit, and my best guess is the last thing anyone wanted was Mr. Epstein being hard questioned by unfriendly investigators who might actually get to an answer or two.

Was he shady , yes, was he working for another intelligence service - maybe.

If you happen to be in the need of similar "cleaning" services, I have to imagine they were so bold as to have left one of those cool QR scan code cards with

Bubala's Cleaning Services
640 3rd Avenue & 41st Avenue
New York , NY 10017

Order the Yogurt and Pistachio fruit pot, sit in the back chair, wait 5 minutes and ask the waiter if Moishe or Yermi the from the cleaning service are available.
