Lol. This will destroy any progress they thought they were making burying the Epstein story, even if it is natural causes
“guys, did we do this? was this one us? i’m kinda freaking out over here”
“at the age of 80 after an illness”… Not that anyone is going to read that far.
The world’s elite rulers are credibly accused of molesting children for decades and doing everything possible to deny it, including seemingly the murder of the alleged Israeli spy that has evidence of their crimes. His lawyer who potentially knows way too much conveniently dies when he’s granted legal protection to speak up, and we should just accept that 80 year old sick man died?
Maybe, but you’d be very naive to dismiss foul play.
You’d be naive to jump right to that conclusion.
The worldwide pedophile ring of rich people definitely does exist. That doesn’t mean we throw out rational skepticism in other ways.
“Not dismiss” <> “jump to”.
I didn’t jump to any conclusions, I simply didn’t dismiss it outright and stop engaging critically as soon as I see the official narrative of “80 year old sick man dies”
cough slow poisoning cough
Dihydrogen monoxide isn’t quick, but it’s effective.
The ole’ “Get them addicted to cigarettes when theyre 12” assassination plan
No one believes that.
Clearly it was Beiber that popped him.
That’s not what the headline says, OP unless it’s changed since you posted it.
He was sick and 80. He died. Not “found dead”.
Black died on Monday at his home in Coral Gables at the age of 80 after an illness, his law partner Howard Srebnick said.
Honestly. I’m glad he made the title what it is. Makes it obvious when people comment without even bother to open the article.
How do you know he’s dead? Because someone tried calling him, and maybe went to his home to check on him… And (dare I say it) found him dead?
Okay, he was very old and ill, but I’m still suspicious!
The timing is indeed odd
No reason to murder this guy now, though.
He actually called me last week and said
If he won’t release them I will
so looks def sus to me
Did he release it to you??? Watch your back dude. I’d hate for you to succumb to illness and old age too!
What are you doing that makes you so suspicious? Trenchcoat and shades?
Had JD Vance visited him recently?
He wasn’t a couch.
Or a Pope.
He didn’t meet with the pope. The pope sent someone to meet with him.
Donald Trump is a child rapist
Stone cold take. Let’s face it if he weren’t in those files he would have released them. He has no loyalty to anyone else so he wouldn’t care about protecting them.
Are you talking about Donald J. Trump the child rapist?
Reading his history he was famous for defending assholes getting scot free or getting much less than they deserved. Was one of those “if you have the money he’ll fix it”
“When the going gets tough, you don’t want a criminal lawyer. You want a criminal lawyer.”
Stop posting sensationalist shit. The dude died at 80, this wasn’t an assassination. He wasn’t ‘found’
OMG! He’s missing!!?
Sir, there is no nuance here.
(Seriously though I don’t like so much ragebait on Lemmy either)
Its Newsweek.
I don’t know much about the man but he chose an excellent time to die.
Actual headline:
Jeffrey Epstein’s Former Attorney Who Secured Plea Deal Dead at 80
Did he fall out a window maybe?
Nah, he was old and sick, so it’s probably natural causes, but it certainly won’t help the conspiracy theorists on the right who’ve been flailing around over Epstein.
Lea Black, his wife, told the Miami Herald that he always “fought for the underdog and people’s civil rights.”
“He understood that we all have our flaws…He was able to separate people’s behavior from their character. He wanted the best for everyone,” she said.
I knew love was blind, but this is bordering on black hole levels of blindness.
Actually I respect it. Its easy to view this comment from her to be about Epstein when the article mentions him specifically, but a person’s career is more than the 1 bullet point people become known for. I didn’t follow his career so I dont really know.
I think everyone deserves representation in court, no matter how heinous they are. If they have a multi million dollar defense and still go to prision… that fucker is guilty. When they are stuck with some overworked public defender, it starts to raise doubts even when it would otherwise be an obvious case.
Wtf - what is character if not behaviour?
And so it begins…
If you go to Zahadoom you will die…
this sounds more like conscience taking its toll on his health
News like this is all too typical for the US these days. There is really no rule of law here anymore - none whatsoever - I am truly glad that I do not live in this absurd banana republic.
I am keeping my fingers crossed for all reasonable US citizens, of course, but please forgive me if I am not overly hopeful.
My brother in christ. Are you allergic to reading the articles you comment on?
Or are you not aware of how aging works?
Yes, I’m sorry, I’m allergic nowadays. I can’t take it anymore.
He was 80 years old and sick. Just like with Scalia’s death, there’s no reason to jump to conclusions about foul play. Of course, that won’t stop the Alex Jones crowd from doing it anyway.
Sorry, I fell for the clickbait headline because I wouldn’t have been surprised if this guy had “killed himself.” It’s a bit like The Onion; it’s hard to tell the difference between that and US news, and I don’t read articles about it anymore because I don’t see the point.
