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.

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

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I don't think it has been retracted.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.
