Their literal conclusion is, “We don’t have evidence that Epstein was murdered… this lack of evidence is itself a separate type of evidence that he must have killed himself”.


Even IF it were true that Epstein committed suicide (and I think we all have a feeling on how unlikely that is), the fundamental failure of the DOJ to follow elementary principles of logic would is astoundingly stupid. I don’t think they are all astoundingly stupid people, which forces me to believe they are intentionally making this obvious logical fallacy. And if they are intentionally making this obvious logical fallacy, then we’re right back to where we began on day 1 with, “what are they hiding?”

They began their report at a logical starting point intended to lead to the conclusion they desired.

If you completely exclude external factors obviously related to the circumstances surrounding the incident (video cameras turned off with no explanation, guards disappearing, etc) and only focus on a small subset of select data points you can ensure your “investigation” determines what you want it to.
