Syria's Assad Says Jeffrey Epstein Did Not Kill Himself

[lapucelle]

Why was Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Russia state media touting speculation of conspiracy in the death of Jeffrey Epstein?

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad waded into the conspiracy theories around Jeffery Epstein's suicide, saying the financier and convicted sex offender was murdered as part of a Western plot to eliminate high-profile people who knew too much.

Speaking to Russia's state-run Rossiya-24 station Thursday, Assad commented on the death of Syria Civil Defense co-founder James Le Mesurier, who died Monday after an apparent fall from his Istanbul apartment. Assad and his supporters have repeatedly alleged that Le Mesurier's organization, commonly known as the White Helmets, were not a rescue group but militant operatives working on behalf of his foes, including the United States and the United Kingdom, which he speculated—without providing evidence—may have been behind a spat of apparent assassinations.

"American billionaire Jeffrey Epstein was killed several weeks ago, they said he had committed suicide in jail. However, he was killed because he knew a lot of vital secrets connected with very important people in the British and American regimes, and possibly in other countries as well," Assad told the outlet, as translated by the state-run Tass Russian News Agency.

Cui bono?

[dewsgirl]

1. All these right wingers apparently now dictator's, weighing

in on Epstein, is another distraction due to the Clinton angle. He was murdered to cover the Trump angle, I am almost certain of it.

4. Ditto

I'm thinking the Ukraine extortion is a diversion from Trump's secrets with Epstein

[dewsgirl]

5. I think the media is afraid of those stories. After all, the

13 yr old rape story was in Ronan Farrow's book, yet not a peep from MSM.

6. I wouldn't take ASSad's word. He's distracting from the White Helmet founder death (murder?). . nt

7. I didn't think of that, good possibility.

2. And an Arizona Republican...

Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) left a hidden message in his tweets Wednesday, spelling out “Epstein didn’t kill himself.”

The first letters in 23 tweets in a row from Gosar's account read “E-P-S-T-E-I-N-D-I-D-N-T-K-I-L-L-H-I-M-S-E-L-F.”

3. You mean this Paul Gosar???

Six of nine brothers and sisters of Representative Paul Gosar, Republican of Arizona, publicly endorsed his Democratic opponent in the midterm elections in videos on Friday, in what one of them said was nothing short of a moral imperative.

The siblings were alarmed at what they saw as the congressman’s increasingly extremist views on immigration, health care and white supremacists, one of them, David Gosar, said on Saturday.

“I’m just hoping either in this election cycle or next, the people get the idea that he’s just not fit for that office and he needs to be removed,” he said.

8. Indeed, ALWAYS a question of cui bono. First question. TO WHOM IS IT A BENEFIT? n/t

9. Primarily to Epstein

He was living a live of unimaginable luxury, comfort and privilege, and knew he was never going to see the outside of a prison for the rest of his life.

11. Only problem with this...if someone was going to kill Epstein,

he was free and still partying for years and years, and then he was in jail in for a few months ahead of time. Why wouldn't they do it while he was free and being investigated and then immediately after he was taken to jail, rather than wait months , plenty of time for him to tell them everything he knew, before doing it.

12. I don't think Epstein is really dead.

Too many "malfunctions". I think he was secreted away to some island or another.

[live love laugh]

13. Trump killed Epstein--indirectly but complicitly. nt
