    This is interesting—it implies he intentionally committed suicide while also implicating Trump as a fellow sex offender.

        If you’re not dead, no one cares.

        If you’re dead, it now explicitly ties the person who pressured you to do it to your own crimes.

        I think he even sent it to such a shit stain of a person just for optics. Maybe even to a known bad address knowing it won’t bounce back till you did it?

        But still, pretty sure they read mail both out and into prisons…

        So it’s weird this was postmarked days ahead of time. It makes it look like he was allowed to commit suicide and had no motive to hide it.

        I think it’s one of those “two clever by half” things. He wanted to be subtle and sprinkle implications, but an actual video tape of trump doing horrible things wouldn’t even matter now.

          Epstein does sound like an unbearably pretentious and self-important man, even apart from all the abuse of minors. And he surrounded himself with other unbearably self-important men.
