FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said on Fox News Thursday morning that he is certain Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender, died by suicide while in federal custody — and there is video that supports it.

“There is nothing in the file at this point on the Epstein case — and there is going to be a disclosure on this coming shortly… there is video. That is something the public does not know,” Bongino said in an interview on Fox & Friends.

Bongino clarified that the video in question does not show the “actual act” but proves that Epstein was the only person who came in or out of his cell on the night he died, on August 10, 2019.

      Why does everyone in this section go to AI as a solution? AI is shit if the video comes under scrutiny which this absolutely will.

      Wouldn’t it be:

      • easier
      • cheaper
      • more realistic
      • more private because of no 3rd party service

      to simply put a camera in the same spot it usually is, film a day’s worth of footage and put a timestamp on it?

    Glad to see Lemmings continue the tradition of Reddit and don’t read the article, just the headline.

    Lots of advertising for LLM video generation that has nothing to do with the 8 hour empty hallway video they claim to have.

      And just like Reddit, no need to read the article when I can expect to find expert commentary and a succinct TL;DR in the comments.

        Then why do we bother with links? This could just be discord then with a chat board of telling others what to think

          The link is for the one passionate redditor/lemming who braves the ad-ridden webpage and provides the TL;DR for the rest of is.

    This is hard af to prove. Even if it is “nobody visited him” it can be that he was told a couple of days earlier that if he didn’t do it, there would be consequences.

    Even if someone “killed” him, he actually killed himself because upon being killed he could have just not died, and by dying, it was his fault — his body could have rejected the death but it accepted it. Clear cut responsibility here.

    proves that Epstein was the only person who came in or out of his cell on the night he died, on August 10, 2019.

    So just an empty video of a hallway with a timestamp that is completely impossible to fake. Its been so long since then, even if they released a video showing him offing himself it wouldnt be proof because they could have just made a perfect fake in all that time.

    Even if he did he was persuaded to do by threat of torture. Quit lying to us and release his client list

    Do they have proof that guards who were suppose to be watching him have a good excuse for allowing it to have happened?
