BBC news is less biased than most US news sources. This was a top story Sunday, and is shortest of three. What does Trump say about Joe?

Perhaps the most far-fetched conspiracy theories were pegged to the hashtags #ClintonBodyCount and #TrumpBodyCount, which both trended on Twitter over the weekend.

The first was primarily used by conservatives to suggest that former "first couple" Bill and Hillary Clinton were linked to Epstein's death. The latter, perhaps predictably, was used by liberals who speculated that Mr Trump was somehow involved. Neither side had any evidence to work with.

A guy who had information that would have destroyed rich and powerful men’s lives ends up dead in his jail cell. How predictably...Russian.

He had been on suicide watch but was taken off in late July following daily psychiatric evaluations, a person familiar with the matter said.

Hashtags supporting wild theories about those responsible for Mr. Epstein’s death have been spread by tens of thousands of tweets, according to an analysis by Storyful, a social-media intelligence agency owned by News Corp , which also owns The Wall Street Journal.

Those ain't conspiracy theories, son.

High profile figure - had a prior suicide attempt. Not being checked every 30 minutes, as is the policy in most prisons even without a suicide watch. There were major political figures whose heads were about to roll - there's plenty of evidence of that via the testimonies from the previous accusers.

Only morons would buy the notion that nothing went wrong here.

Just because mainstream media owned by the accused political figures says that nothing went wrong, doesn't mean shit all (By the way, the unbiased BBC? BBC shills for the monarchy all day long, and one of the princes was on the hook).
