I suspect word got out Epstein was ready to blow... the rest is history.
The oldest detective rule number one in solving a murder is the Roman Cui bono “to whom is it a benefit?”
When I read that pedo Epstein was talking about spilling the beans - suddenly a cui bono principle takes shape. It explains why he was arrested out of the blue like that and why he was done in.
I think it happened because the Democrats were trying to smear a Trump cabinet appointee for going easy on Trump (who testified in confirmation hearings the Intel community told him to do so) this made Epstein uneasy and he started to talk to the press and hinting he had info to spill - that was when he was arrested.
Because Epstein was arrested by the SDNY that proves to me that Trump was not behind this (the Dems tried to smear Trump as being linked to Epstein to hide his links to the Clintons) even though as president in theory he is in charge of the SDNY via the DOJ.
