Epstein is far more useful to us having not killed himself than had a trial been held. If we already have the evidence to convict - epstein is just a public touchstone.
I have thought this for some time. The dems advanced this because they believe they have an ace in the hole. There are a lot of sleepers out there. Although, there are other avenues. A removal from office triggers decapitation strikes from militias and other sleeper units that have no recall on their orders. That move would risk open warfare.
