Roughly six pages from more than 8,500 documents provided by Epstein’s estate to Democratic members on the House Oversight Committee include meeting schedules appearing to show appointments with Bannon and venture capitalist Peter Thiel during Donald Trump’s first term in office.

The documents also mention Musk joining a potential trip to Epstein’s island in 2014.

Prince Andrew also is listed in the documents as a passenger on Epstein’s aircraft, with financial disclosures provided to the committee suggesting evidence of payments from Epstein to an individual listed as “Andrew.”

His appointment with Bannon in 2019 was just months before Epstein was federally charged with trafficking and sexually abusing dozens of minors. Epstein pleaded not guilty and was found dead in a jail cell in New York in August 2019.

There's a video that CBS put out, directly after the shooting someone is scanning the crowd with their camera and caught video of the shooter running off the roof. Again, RIGHT AFTER. People are just starting to run out of the event, realizing what happened.

Yet…! The gun is an old WW1 Mauser that requires a screwdriver and time to disassemble. The FBI later said they found a screwdriver on the roof (even though crime scene photos of the roof don’t show it) and claim that he unscrewed this gun in almost an instant, left the screwdriver on the roof, jumped down with the gun taken apart, and then reassembled the gun and left it for cops to find.

Not to mention they had his body on Airforce 1 well before a forensic autopsy could typically be completed.

I used to volunteer with retired police detectives for online investigations for missing persons, Does, and cold cases. This shit does not make any fucking sense. Literally their timeline doesn't add up with the timelines of the videos of the shooter or the event. It just doesn't.

I don't even need to get into whether the ammo was actually a 30-06 or if the triangulation of the gunshot confirms the shooters location because the timeline itself is already wrong.

Gotta wonder if the reason they are blatantly fucking up the investigations including Luigi's is so the public stops using the justice system and starts relying on their own methods.

From here on in, I'm going to delete the rest of this particular thread. LifeGivesYouLemmys definitely is trolling you, don't feed it.

I don't see how this has anything to do with what op wrote about the bullet coming from the opposite direction. Also, the rifle being taken apart thing was debunked

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world -2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The rifle being taken apart is the official FBI narrative of what happened

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I don't really care to nitpick, but I am pretty sure they retracted that almost immediately.

But regardless the FBI is being run by a moron right now. For you that's evidence they pulled off a conspiracy. For me it's the opposite.

? What?

I don't think it has been retracted. Kash Patel was talking about the screwdriver and DNA testing it.

"I can report today that the DNA hits from the towel that was wrapped around the firearm and the DNA on the screwdriver are positively processed for the suspect in custody," Kash Patel told Fox and Friends.

It's not run by morons by accident, but because they are deliberately breaking it. I think that's pretty obvious.

Also, we are arguing about this statement of yours:

After learning the official US explanation of his death is completely bunk (he was not shot from the front)

You’re just taking that for granted as true?

You are literally arguing here that the official US explanation is true and that people criticizing it are wrong. Have you now changed your position that it isn't true, due to incompetence?

I am arguing that when you watch video of what happened and a killer running away that's obvious what happened. Had they said nothing at all, anyone not engaged in conspiracy shit would understand. I know what it's like to argue with you so let's please stop. You've never been wrong before, ever.
