Bells didn't start going off until this part of your comment.
No.
How so? Jeffrey Epstein was rich, but that was about it. What kind of power or importance did he have? AFAIK, he only got rich by leeching off other even richer dudes. I'm sure most of his friends were the same. Not exactly the kind of people who I think would resort to murder (of a guy in solitary in a maximum security prison), or could pull it off and leave barely a trace if they tried.
The problem is that those are way more common in american prisons than you would hope. Meaning we can't really know whether epstein was executed or just allowed to die by an apathetic and malevolent prison system.
That doesn't excuse the absolute lack of effort by Barr and Garland to try to find anything out.
IIRC, he was in a SHU, which is closer to the former than the latter.
> where he had been taken off suicide watch, and whose camera system, which was covering his corridor, was out of order. Plus the guards didn’t really seem to pay much attention.
That's definitely conspiracy theory fodder, but little more than that.
A common trend in this thread seems to be labeling speculation as "conspiracy theory", seemingly to get out of having to justify one form of speculation is more valid than another.
Why are statements-of-fact "conspiracy theory fodder"?
