"Dead men tell no tales."

And next weekend, barely anyone will remember his name.
Two weekends ago, the world was aghast with gnashing teeth and frenzied finger pointing in the aftermath of 2 horrific mass slaughters in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio. The 'ban all guns' vs 'thoughts n prayers' raged across media, and in Congress. Nothing got resolved, there are still funerals to attend, but the news cycle moves at light speed.
Over the weekend, #ClintonBodyCount vs. #TrumpBodyCount raged on Twitter in the aftermath of the convenient suicide of Jeffry Epstein, the well-connected billionaire, convicted sex offender, and alleged sex trafficker of under-age girls to the wealthy and famous in this world. Twitter quickly de-trended the #hashtag wars, and by Saturday evening the wealthy and famous on Epstein's speed dial all breathed a sigh of relief.
And no one is talking about the 3rd world sh!thole called 'Baltimore.'
From Fox Business:
"In the beginning of July, prosecutors alleged that Epstein, a convicted sex offender, abused and trafficked dozens of girls as young as 14 in New York and Florida in the early 2000s. They said both he and his associates paid victims to recruit other girls to give him nude massages and engage in sex acts, allowing him to build a vast network in which he was able to abuse minors, according to the indictment.I did say 'everything.'
The multi-millionaire was being held without bail pending trial on child-sex-trafficking charges.
He was found in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City around 6:30 a.m. He was transported to the New York Presbyterian-Lower Manhattan Hospital and was dead on arrival, officials said.
Law enforcement sources told Fox News that the initial call to the jail was cardiac arrest. Multiple reports claimed that he hanged himself.
“This is the end of one chapter, but only one chapter, of the battle to bring the sex traffickers to justice," said David Boies, who represents at least eight of the alleged victims in the case. "Jeffrey Epstein did not act, and could not have done what he did, alone. Justice demands that those who acted with him also be held to account.”
The incident comes two weeks after Epstein was placed on suicide watch after he was found nearly unconscious in his cell with injuries to his neck."
