I'm always suspicious that the hidden purpose of this sort of "no prison" plea deal on serious cases is a way of protecting the real conspirators and high level criminals at the top.
Is a deal like this a way of implementing "No Double Jeopardy" protection for the low level criminals to keep them from spilling the beans on the real evil doers behind the crime?
After all - these guys didn't decide independently and on their own to conveniently look the other way at the same time that Epstein was "offed".
I know what you are saying and I agree.
I’m sure the deal with the 2 prison guards was cut before Epstein supposedly killed himself.
Epstein knew too much to allow him to live and spill the beans.
His death is just another one of those very “strange happenings” that we will never get to the bottom of.
