Following the death of Jeffrey Epstein, MSNBC hosts have offered a variety of theories tying the incident to the Trump administration or to Russia.
MSNBC's AM Joy host Joy Reid suggested Attorney General William Barr could be responsible for the death of disgraced U.S. financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Reid drew attention to the fact that Epstein was in a federal prison.
"This is somebody who not only is high-profile, who not only knew a lot of high-profile people, whose papers just came out of court just to let out of some of the documents related to his cases that name high-profile people, who is friends with the current president of the United States, who flew a previous president of the United States around on his plane," Reid said, referencing former President Bill Clinton who flew on Epstein's plane dozens of times. "This is on the same level of a Bill Cosby. This is a famous person who's now in prison. He knows a lot about a lot of people…His only out at this point would to talk about those people. So, he's in this very vulnerable situation."
She went on to say she learned earlier in the segment about how the facility where Epstein, who was facing federal sex trafficking charges, was being held was under the control of the Department of Justice.
"This Department of Justice does not exactly inspire confidence. Let's just be blunt. William Barr's Justice Department is not one you can readily simply rely upon and feel confident in," Reid said. "What do we make of all of this now that in this federal facility this person was allowed to be alone long enough to either harm himself or be killed by some—we don't know what happened. We just don't know."
Reid threw out another conspiracy theory later in the segment about Barr potentially trying to help Trump avoid implication in the Epstein scandal.
"Donald Trump’s name comes up whenever Jeffrey Epstein’s name comes up and other people, too. He’s no longer a threat to those people because he can’t talk about them anymore," Reid said.
Do these idiots really believe it? Or are they that afraid of the Clintons.
If Trump wanted to bump Epstein he could have just arranged for Epstein to be made ambassador to Libya.
You're right. I feel so exposed now.
Will there be such things as minimum security gulags? A country club prison? That could be my goal as a Deplorable.
Unless we see that President Trump is re-elected.
Great info, Bratch.
They can see Russia from their studio.
I think that’s marital law. ;)
There’s a lot in common...

Goes back to Bakunin and the 19th century Nihilists. The existing social order must first be destroyed before paradise on earth will be created.
most people don’t understand the workings of a jail or prison. Easy to lie and distort or cover top mistakes.
Barr is responsible to the federal bureau of prisons and the FBI he and the doj shouldn’t investigate., I would put rudy on this. There are some national consultants who would do an objective job; people who do after action reports on riots, hostage situations, etc.
