      To be fair, that's a bit like accusing someone of breaking into your house when you left the front door wide open.
      Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
      But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
      Than a fool in the eyes of God

          You're right, Charles. You're always right.

          feel better?
          The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

              I may have missed it, but I don't remember them being in the news talking about anything in quite a while. If I had to choose between "not saying anything," or "blame the other guy" at this point, I'd think the mum's the word method is the best way to go.

                  Bill did release a terse official statement distancing himself from Epstein pre-suicide and disavowing any knowledge of illegal activity. Otherwise, yeah. There was no sudden going quiet upon release of the painting.

                  Edit: I meant brief, not terse. Not sure why I made that mistake.

                    I don't know what you mean by "just the opposite is the case." What specifically are your referencing?

                      Hmm. Ok. On Reddit they're almost unified in blaming Trump for the suicide.

                        I think, however, in that disclaimer, Bill SUBSTANTIALLY undercounted his documentable number of flights on Epstein's plane.

                          The Atlantic reports that within hours after his death was announced both "#TrumpBodyCount (where liberals speculated that the president had offed his former friend), and #ClintonCrimeFamily (where conservatives accused Bill and Hillary Clinton of orchestrating a murderous cover-up)" were trending on twitter[1]. They also note that Scarborough as well as Clara Jeffery, the editor in chief of Mother Jones and former Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) are extremely skeptical that it was suicide with the latter hinting that Trump's DoJ was responsible[2].

                          New York Times columnist Paul Krugman also expressed skepticism while Neera Tanden, head of the liberal Center for American Progress, tried to steer suspicion at Trump. Even Harvard Law Professor Lawrence Tribe (who was mentioned as being on the short list for SCOTUS nominees among Democrat presidents) seemed to be pointing the finger at Trump, demanding that AG William Barr recuse himself from any investigation "that cuts this close to the bone."

                          So yeah, it isn't just conservatives pushing conspiracy theories about Epstein's death.







                          1. Conservative commentator Jonah Goldberg, in an opinion piece for the Los Angeles Times, also noted that hashtags for both "TrumpBodyCount" and "ClintonBodyCount" trended nationally.

                          2. Michael Moore was also saying that Trump was behind his death as did a lot of other celebutards like Debra Messing, Zach Braff, Patricia Arquette, Jeffrey Wright, Ellen Barkin (with some of them blaming Barr as well) and to a lesser extent Rob "Meathead" Reiner. Others expressing doubt but not pointing fingers include George Takei, Jamie Lee Curtis and Dave Bautista.

                            so that's where Tassy got it from.

                            I was just skimming CNN after it happened and was listening to the pundits arguing about it and basically mocking the conservative hicks for blaming Hillary.

                              I think he owned up to four where in reality it was in the mid 20s.

                                Yeah, I thought at the time, if he stated X, it must be at least X.... (can you please do the superscript thing to make it X squared? )
