Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself because he was preparing a multi-layered legal and media strategy to fight his case, the late pedophile's lawyer has claimed.

David Schoen, who Epstein asked to lead his legal team in his final days, said he planned to mount legal and factual defenses to the sex trafficking allegations against him.

During a five-hour meeting with Epstein nine days before his death, Schoen said Epstein was 'upbeat and excited' and looking forward to clearing his name.

Murdered? How farfetched. Hoodunnit? That's a real puzzle, huh?

Both legal *and* factual, y'know, 'coz the practice of law is about advocacy, not about right and wrong. Saw that on "L.A. Law" years ago. :^)

Funny how the investigation of Epstein's death went down the rabbit hole. Guards mysteriously disobeyed their requirement keep eyes on those in such holdings. Video feed of Epsteins cell mysteriously missing. Markings on Epstein's neck indicating it wasn't suicide. Ya know, just a lot of coincidences... kind of like Seth Rich. But nobody is much interested in getting to the truth or in holding anybody accountable.

His “strategy to clear his name” must not have left everyone else involved “upbeat”

I agree. It's been mighty quiet on this particular topic.

But I find it interesting that this lawyer is suddenly speaking. And I think DOJ is declassifying and releasing a lot of documents. Maybe these are connected. Maybe something is happening.

What did the crooked authorities know?

Cameras put out of commission.
Guards earning paycheck while sleeping.
Taken off of suicide watch after prior violence.

And then there was the murder of Whitey Bulger again with the aid of crooked authorities who tipped off mob connected hitmen to the transfer of a prisoner and afforded time to carry out the hit.

Definitely a paid hit or murder that was not only allowed to happen; it was encouraged with perks for the inmate who did the dirty deed.

As soon as he said he would be naming names (like Clinton) it was obvious he was going to die.
