Bongino says FBI files prove Epstein killed himself

On August 10, 2019, Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his cell from an apparent suicide.  

Due to his significant political connections, the conspiracy theories started to fly, but FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is saying the files he has seen shut down any conspiracy theory, including videos from that fateful morning.  

He’s Dead 

When guards went to check on Epstein that day, they claimed to have found him dead in his cell from an apparent suicide by hanging.  

Guards immediately began to do CPR, with Epstein being transported to a downtown hospital in New York where he was already in cardiac arrest. He was pronounced dead at 6:39 a.m. on August 10, 2019.  

Then-Attorney General William Barr said his death was due to a series of “screw-ups,” but he insisted it was a suicide.  

That mattered little to the online sleuths, who started all kinds of rumors about possible death scenarios outside of suicide.  

The Conspiracy 

Even though Barr ruled Epstein’s death a suicide, he made a statement that fired up all kinds of conspiracy theories, stating, “Mr. Epstein's death raises serious questions that must be answered.” 

Epstein was a very connected person, with two of his more famous relationships being with former President Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew.  

Questions started to arise as to how Epstein, who was supposed to have been on suicide watch, managed to kill himself with guards constantly watching over him.  

As we later found out, there were all kinds of security lapses, but that only raised more questions if someone was paid off to look the other way while Epstein took his life. Or, worse, that someone else killed him and made it look like a suicide.  

He Killed Himself 

Dan Bongino, a loyal MAGA podcaster, was recently named as the Deputy Director of the FBI, so if he comes out and says it was a suicide, possibly the conspiracies will stop.  

Bongino says he has reviewed the files, and there is nothing to those theories, stating, "The evidence we have in our files clearly indicates that it was, in fact, a suicide. We do have video. It’s not the greatest video in the world. I don’t want to set expectations on fire. 

"However, the video does show in that specific block, that he goes in, made a phone call; you’ll see 12 hours of guards going in basically check on him, come back. You’ll see nobody really comes out of that bay in that area than him. There’s no one in there. There's nothing there in the file at all that indicates anything other than in fact a suicide.” 

There were still clearly some security lapses, but it does appear that we can finally put this one to bed. I still want to see the files myself, but I am hoping this has all the conspiracy theorists satisfied.
