Mariel Colón Miró, one of the attorneys for Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman, was one of the witnesses on his new will
This was reported by the NY Daily News and confirmed by Ms Miro

1. Birds of s Feather...

2. That's what I thought

If you're representing Guzman, Epstein is just a lateral step

3. Probably he was just there visiting his client, and Epstein needed witnesses.

I doubt there was anything weird or nefarious about it. If you're in jail and you need your will witnessed, your options are limited. Lawyers who represent bad people are not necessarily also bad people.

4. I understand that

I just think it's interesting. Not in a conspiratorial way, just the weirdness of it.
Of all the people available to sign the will it was her.

on edit:
If I were writing a movie or TV series about something similar and added that, people would say, "Oh, come on! That's absurd. Never happen."

5. Agree!

You can’t make this shit up!

8. Yes. We're all living a really bad novel these days.

I'd have tossed it in irritation about the time Trump became the Republican nominee and his daughter was selling her fashion line from the stage of the convention. Yeah, right.

7. Is El Chapo Guzman still being held at MCC? I thought he was moved over a month ago, which then how

...does this explain why his lawyer was there?

[CentralMass]

6. Can I get a witness.

9. Which begs the question

Was Epstein part of an international cocaine ring?
