another possibility that Hal Sparks often raises is that Epstein paid to escape and is hiding somewhere incognito

... however it was probably arranged by someone much smarter than Chump. Rudy Giuliani and Bernard Klink both have (or had) contacts in New York who could easily have carried it out. I'm not saying they did it, but the possibilities are endless.

This stuff is so damn obvious 🤦‍♂️

In which case my heart would go out to the panties……

it's clear as mud. And IMO, it was intentionally muddied to give the appearance of gross incompetence. No one in this age expects such inconsistent record keeping and then claim that they did NOT incur brain damage in the recent past. There are simply too many things that had gone wrong with the video, the cameras, the storage drives, the programming, for anyone to even temporarily believe. The gaps in footage were suspiciously "designed" to convey that implication that NO ONE WAS IN CHARGE OF THE SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM. This is absolute nonsense, given that the prison housed high security risks and dangerous inmates. An inquiry should include extensive interviews with the PERSONNEL who managed the security system. Somehow, we never heard of the details of any inquiry. Certainly, there was no exposure of forensic processes to gather information that could be used in Court, if there needed to be hearings. Anyone who abandons the notion that only "mistakes were made", as exceptions rather than the rule could easily wonder who was committing fraud and why. A reasonable presumption is that Epstein's death protected people from scrutiny. And the person with the most risk of exposure was... DIDDLING DONNY, who, given his sociopathic personality disorder, could order Epstein's murder while enjoying a double cheeseburger. Donny would have no problem with offing a person who presented such a huge legal and political problem. "Sure, send in the team, fuck up the surveillance system, feign incompetence of the jail staff, and bury everything with the help of a very compliant DOJ.

Certainly shakes any confidence we might have had that the evidence "proves" Epstein committed suicide. That makes a cover up a great deal easier.
