    I don’t know how much more evidence the right is going to need before they get a fucking clue.

    Some of the CHUDS I know are saying this is fake because it’s postmarked three days after Epstein was dead out of Northern Virginia instead of NY where he was incarcerated. My hunch is that this is because prison mail is reviewed. Anyone have a concrete explanation?

      It was the Department of Justice itself the one that put some questions upfront, about the authenticity of this communication. So, there’s that. The other thing, IIRC were the fact that it didn’t include the prisoner number, which is supposed to be mandatory for the mail to go out of jail.

    ok, so was this guy some kind of idiot? why would someone just say these incriminating things so openly and brazenly?

      He was in jail already, he knew he was about to die and he wrote to a fellow imprisoned pedophile to say trump’s one of us, but we’re the ones in jail, life’s not fair.

      That’s the context.

      When you’re friends with all the powerful people, you don’t have much to fear. Eventually I bet it just starts to feel normal.

      From the letterhead it looks like it was sent from a corrections facility. So he was already locked up and probably realized he was already cooked.

      “I have take the “Short Route” home”

      This implies he was going to commit suicide so no need to keep secrets

        He knew he was about to die. That could mean suicide, but he knew the rules of the game he was playing.

        The gap and editing in the prison footage still implies murder, i think. He just knew it was coming.

      If I’m not mistaken they were both in prison already at the time - maybe it was a way to “get attention” to try to start a blackmail negotiation? (Didn’t pan out well for him, it seems)
