FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said on Fox News Thursday morning that he is certain Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender, died by suicide while in federal custody — and there is video that supports it.

“There is nothing in the file at this point on the Epstein case — and there is going to be a disclosure on this coming shortly… there is video. That is something the public does not know,” Bongino said in an interview on Fox & Friends.

Bongino clarified that the video in question does not show the “actual act” but proves that Epstein was the only person who came in or out of his cell on the night he died, on August 10, 2019.

      I I can’t tell if you’re a gaslighting bot or just intentionally being dismissive. Pretending like this was some run of the mill situation is insane. This guy has just gone down for crimes that implicated lots of very powerful people. Everyone all over the world was watching the case very closely. At the time people were actively expecting him to get assassinated at any moment.

        They’re not gaslighting though. No one checked on him when he supposedly killed himself. They didn’t discover the body till 6:30am. No one had been to his tier since 10:30 the night before. That’s 8 hours of no supervision, where they were supposed to check every half hour.

        The guards that were supposed to check on him every 30 minutes were reported to have been sleeping. The guards just never checked on him for 8 whole hours, where literally anything could have happened.

          That’s the point. That shouldn’t have happened, and this case is way too high profile for it to have happened organically. If nobody checked on him, there has to have been a reason for it.

            Correct, it shouldn’t have happened, but it did. Everything, literally every part of his death, screams something shady happened.

          The whole world anticipating he’s going to get taken out and the guards decide to leave a 8 hour window while they slept. And this doesn’t look ridiculous to you?

            Of course it’s fucking ridiculous. But it’s exactly what happened. He was left alone, unsupervised, for 8 hours.

              Ok. So. When there was very obvious reasons for him to be assassinated, and the circumstances were pointing towards an extremely high chance of him being killed to prevent lots of very rich, well connected, powerful people from being implicated in a pedo ring, instead of the very predictable and most likely thing happening, him being assassinated, we’re going with the story of some guards who the whole world were counting on to do their job, fell asleep for 8 hours and Epstein incredibly conveniently killed himself. Making it much more difficult for the very rich and powerful people to face any consequences. And we’re going to act like all that incredibly logical and highly likely stuff wasn’t real or wasn’t happening?
