He is almost always on live for major events and seems to have some different sources. I watch him when I think about it, thanks for reminding me. ;-)
This is very weird. Code Monkey’s twatter account just disappeared. It was there an hour ago and now it is just gone.
I don’t know a lot about the twit deal so maybe I am missing something but I don’t think so.
Nevermind. Code Monkey did not disappear. I should go to sleep....
> Fine, but you ignore blackmail.
> Epstein may have killed himself to protect others.
Blackmail can form a motivation for suicide. However, I was trying to tread lightly on the topic of potential motivations for suicide, because it is at the deep end of speculation. If you notice, I was addressing primarily the mechanics of how, not why. Sure Epstein might have killed himself to protect others. In my opinion however, this has no bearing on the mechanics. What am i missing?
I see (now that you point it out).
Motivation and means conflate,
more motivation or more means = the same. Less motivation, less means = the same.
There’s a combo though that give the result.
Assuming the autopsy is as I expect I would say he had strong motivation, less means.

Jeffrey Epstein was found hanging in his lower Manhattan jail cell with a bedsheet wrapped around his neck and secured to the top of a bunk bed, The Post has learned.
The convicted pedophile, who was 6 feet tall, apparently killed himself by kneeling toward the floor and strangling himself with the makeshift noose, law enforcement sources said Monday. He hadnt been checked on for several hours, sources said.
Epstein was unresponsive when he was discovered in his cell at the Special Housing Unit of the Metropolitan Correctional Center at around 6:30 a.m. on Saturday, the federal Bureau of Prisons has said.

Epstein was removed from suicide watch at the request of his defense lawyers, who had been meeting with him for up to 12 hours a day before asking that his supervision be eased, the Journal said.
Among the primary questions for investigators is why Mr. Epstein was taken off suicide watch and left alone with minimal supervision. After an earlier incident in which he was found unconscious in his cell with marks on his neck, Mr. Epstein was put in the suicide-watch unit July 23, but was removed from the watch days later at the request of his attorneys and after daily psychological evaluations.
SNIP
The Manhattan-based federal prosecutors handling Mr. Epsteins case also could seek to seize his assets through a process known as civil forfeiture. That process could allow prosecutors to sue for assets that were used to facilitate the alleged sex trafficking, including Mr. Epsteins real estate, jets and bank accounts. Money from forfeited properties goes into a Justice Department fund that can be distributed to victims.
Through the civil forfeiture process, prosecutors could lay out the evidence they have gathered against Mr. Epstein that hasnt become public, according to former federal prosecutors. The government could use investigative tools, such as search warrants and grand jury subpoenas, unavailable to victims suing the estate, said Jaimie Nawaday, a former federal prosecutor who has handled asset-forfeiture cases.
It might be in their interest to let the government go first, said Ms. Nawaday, now a partner at Kelley Drye & Warren LLP. The government has a higher rate of success.

Harry Reid: The Filibuster Is Suffocating the Will of the American People
To save our countrys future, Democrats must abolish this arcane Senate rule.
By Harry Reid
Mr. Reid is a former Senate majority leader from Nevada.
Aug. 12, 2019
...
Republicans over the past decade knowing their policies are unpopular and that obstruction benefits them politically perfected and increased the gratuitous use of the filibuster. Even routine Senate business is now subject to the filibuster and Republicans seeming obsession with gridlock and obstruction.
Something must change. That is why I am now calling on the Senate to abolish the filibuster in all its forms. And I am calling on candidates seeking the Democratic nomination for president to do the same.
If a Democratic president wants to tackle the most important issues facing our country, then he or she must have the ability to do so and that means curtailing Republicans ability to stifle the will of the American people. Its time to allow a simple majority vote instead of the 60-vote threshold now required for legislation. When the American people demand change and elect a new Senate, a new majority leader must be able to respond to that call and pass legislation.
Deep fakes.
Amazing, Rannie. I just watched what you speak of yesterday! The actor/comedian is Bill Hader. I saw him imitate Schwarzenegger in a vid a month ago thinking this Hader guy I’d damned good and has the advantage of looking like The Arnold! Silly me.
Then I saw him do Cruise yesterday and got fooled again temporarily. I then caught Hader’s face wafting between his and Cruise’s. WTH?!
Creepy stuff. Getting ahead of the impending videos I think.
Thank You...
Bruce Ohr Warned FBI Leadership That Steele Was Biased Against Trump And Dossier Funded by DNC
Newly obtained documents confirm that James Comeys FBI was running a secret and corrupt counterintelligence operation against the Trump campaign in the summer of 2016 and repeatedly deceiving the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) thereafter in order to wiretap a Trump campaign associate.
The disclosure was the result of a federal lawsuit and a year of litigation. Despite efforts by FBI Director Christopher Wray to obstruct, a federal court issued an order that forced the FBI and Department of Justice to produce the records known as 302 reports. They are a summary of interviews FBI agents conducted with Bruce Ohr, a top DOJ official.
These 302s show that the FBI and DOJ were warned repeatedly by Ohr that ex-British spy Christopher Steele was virulently biased against the target of their investigation, Trump.
That bias tainted the credibility of the dossier Steele composed and upon which officials in the Obama administration relied when they officially launched their counterintelligence investigation on July 31, 2016. The dossier was also the basis for the surveillance warrant against former Trump campaign adviser, Carter Page.
The FBI and DOJ ignored the warnings of bias and actively concealed it from the FISC. They never advised the judges that the information contained in the dossier was unverified.
They hid from the judges that it was all funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
The court was never told that Ohrs wife helped cultivate some of the researched used against Trump. Having fired Steele for leaking to the media and lying about it, the FBI and DOJ represented to the judge that Steele was reliable when they knew he was not. They continued to rely on him months after his termination.
EXCERPT
Note to criminals. Never be in business with your criminal attorneys nor make them recipients in your will. Epsteins attorneys benefit regardless until Barr gets them.

A snippet of drone footage of FBI on LSJ island. Why so serious?

Looks like feds are paying attention to walls, gathering electronics. White leather couch backed up to window. They seem concerned about shielding bottom right from drone.
