In a plot twist worthy of a daytime soap, Jeffrey Epstein did die by suicide.
Yes, you read that right. The man who once fanned the flames of Epstein conspiracy theories is now wielding a fire extinguisher.
Bongino: The evidence is “clear as day”
During a recent appearance on Fox News, Bongino revealed that the FBI possesses a video that conclusively shows Epstein was alone in his cell at the time of his death. “It’s clear as day,” he asserted, emphasizing that no one else is seen entering or exiting the cell. While the footage doesn’t capture the exact moment of death, Bongino insists it’s definitive proof against foul play.
This revelation comes as the FBI plans to release both the original and enhanced versions of the video to ensure transparency. Bongino also noted the absence of evidence—no DNA, fingerprints, audio recordings, suspects, or tips—that would suggest homicide.
MAGA Meltdown
The response from the MAGA faithful? Let’s just say it wasn’t a standing ovation. Social media erupted with accusations of betrayal, with some ers accusing Bongino and FBI Director Kash Patel of being part of a cover-up. The backlash was so intense that Bongino felt compelled to clarify his stance, stating he was merely presenting facts from the available case file and remained open to reassessing the conclusion if new evidence arises.
Adding fuel to the fire, Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, criticized Bongino and Patel for affirming the suicide conclusion, arguing that Patel was neither present at the time of death nor witnessed the body or the autopsy.
The conspiracy that won’t die
Despite the official narrative, skepticism persists. The phrase “Epstein didn’t kill himself” has become a cultural meme, reflecting widespread distrust in the official of his death. Polls have shown that a significant portion of Americans believe Epstein was murdered to protect powerful individuals.
Even Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former associate, has expressed doubts, stating from prison that she believes he was murdered. She cited the broken cameras outside his cell and the fact that he was taken off suicide watch shortly before his death as reasons for her skepticism.
But what about reports that the cameras glitched?
Bongino’s assertion that Epstein died by suicide, backed by promised forthcoming video evidence, challenges the prevailing conspiracy theories. However, given the deep-seated mistrust and the high-profile nature of Epstein’s connections, it’s unlikely to quell the speculation entirely.
As the FBI releases more information, the public will have to decide whether to accept the official narrative or continue to question the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death.
For those keeping score, the conspiracy theory that once united a movement is now causing fractures within it. And in the world of political intrigue, that’s just another day at the office.
