Why is no one being prosecuted over the Epstein files?

3 weeks after Trump’s 2018 meeting with Putin in Helsinki, Sen. Rand Paul made a solo trip to Moscow to personally hand-deliver a package of documents from Trump to Putin. Its contents are still unknown. 10 days after Paul's trip, the CIA was worried b/c their sources inside Moscow went "silent"

I'm a former maximum security CO who posted about Epstein's suspicious death 6 months ago. There's a new data point, and now Occam is officially rolling over in his grave. AMA

Six months ago I posted my perspective on Epstein's death. My position was that the official story doesn't hold up operationally. Cameras failing, officers sleeping simultaneously, suicide watch conveniently removed, cell design defeated, forensics that don't match, each one unlikely, together nearly impossible.

Now we have the document dump. 3.5 million pages. Buried in there is a detail that caught my attention.

The decoy body.

According to the released files, when Epstein's body was removed from Metropolitan Correctional Center, jail staff created what "appeared to be a body" using boxes and sheets. They loaded this into a white van marked as medical examiner. The media followed that van.

The actual body was loaded into a black vehicle that left unnoticed.

This is not normal. This is not a thing.

In my entire time in corrections, I have never heard of a decoy body transport. There is no protocol for it. No training for it. No reason to do it. When an inmate dies, you document everything, you follow chain of custody, and you move the body through proper channels. You don't create fake corpses to misdirect journalists.

This was operational misdirection. The question is, misdirection from what?

Let me lay it all out again...

Camera failure.

Federal facilities have redundant camera systems. They are checked regularly, and when they go out it is considered emergency maintainence. Total failure at the exact moment of a high profile inmate's death is extremely unlikely.

Sleeping officers.

Two officers allegedly fell asleep simultaneously and falsified records. These are federal correctional officers, selected, trained, and assigned to one of the most sensitive posts in corrections history. One officer falling asleep is a fireable offense. Two, at the same time, on this particular inmate? Unlikely.

Suicide watch removal.

Epstein was placed on suicide watch after a previous incident. Removal requires administrative approval. It's not a casual decision. It was removed shortly before his death, drastically lowering the protection around him at exactly the wrong moment.

The cell design.

Federal high-security cells are specifically engineered to prevent suicide. Fixtures are designed to prevent ligature points. Bedding is designed to tear under weight. It's not impossible to kill yourself. But the cells are designed to make it difficult.

The forensic evidence.

The autopsy showed injuries to the neck, specifically broken bones, that multiple independent forensic experts said were more consistent with strangulation than hanging by sheet. This doesn't prove murder, but it's another data point that doesn't fit the official narrative cleanly.

The new data point: decoy body.

I have literally never heard of this before after years in corrections.

Occam's Razor.

People misuse this concept constantly. Occam's Razor doesn't say the simplest sounding explanation is true. It says you shouldn't multiply entities unnecessarily because the explanation that requires the fewest independent assumptions is usually correct.

The official story requires you to believe...

1.) Redundant camera systems failed simultaneously, by coincidence, at the exact moment of death

2.) Two trained federal officers fell asleep at the same time, on the highest-profile inmate in the country, by coincidence

3) Administrative approval was given to remove suicide watch shortly before death, by coincidence

4.) An inmate defeated cell design specifically engineered to prevent what he allegedly did

5.) Forensic findings that don't match the described method are explainable or irrelevant

6.) Staff constructed a decoy body and ran a misdirection operation on the press for reasons

Each of these is independent. For the official story to be true, all of them have to be true simultaneously, with no connection between them.

The alternative requires you to believe...

-Powerful people with a lot to lose had motive to ensure Epstein never testified

-Someone with access and authority coordinated the conditions for his death

-The scene was managed before, during, and after

That's one assumption. It was managed. Everything else flows from that.

For honesty's sake I will again leave room for the possibility he was just given space to kill himself, and succeeded. Still a cover up. Still illegal. Also, previously, I assigned a non-zero but extremely low likelihood that he is still alive. That possibility has now increased by orders of magnitude
