I think the DoJ may have accidently exposed a HUGE cover-up...

After research, I do now believe this letter is *FAKE*

Initially I thought his lawyer wrote it for him - but now my personal theory is:

-This was *PLANTED* by **Bill Barr**, to cover-up Epstein's death! Image
Image
2/25

First, pulling the MCC records of commissary shows they DID stock blank post cards, in packs of 6 - something you'd have to be familiar with to fake.

But, Epstein's receipts don't show any purchase of post cards, the closest was a single envelope. Image
Image
3/25

The post card uses the Rodger Dodger Hot Wheels postage stamp which was sold briefly in 2018.

Given the commissary's turn over of mail products, it's *very* unlikely a 2018 stamp was still being sold there in August of 2019. Image
Image
4/25

The DoJ claims the "Postmark" is wrong.

What they are referring to is the "NOVA 220" and stylized imprint over the stamp.

This shows where something entered the USPS mail system and the stamp was marked as used. Image
5/25

This letter entered the post service not from MCC, but from NOVA processing facility in Northern Virginia, in the 220 range of zip codes.

That's right outside DC and includes the offices for the DoD, CIA, and other government agencies. Image
Image
6/25

And according to stamp collecting websites, the code matches the same cancel pattern that was in use at that time.

Meaning it was authentically mailed from this region and not MCC. Image
7/25

The first option here, is that Epstein gave a note for his own attorney to write.

Reid Weingarten represented Epstein and met with him two days before his death.

He could have facilitated the drop off of this letter.

And NOVA is right across the river from where Steptoe LLC is located.Image
8/25

But at the time Reid seemed to work out of their New York office.

We also have Reid's signature in "19-2221_Documents.pdf" from the recent DoJ file release and the handwriting looks *nothing* like the letter. Image
Image
9/25

But the post card writing doesn't look anything like Epstein's writing either.

Epstein also signed his name with some sloppy loop mark. Image
Image
10/25

In fact, Epstein's writing is hard to find, because he mostly had Maxwell take notes for him.

His writing is incredibly sloppy, we find it in two places:

1) His pass port applications

2) The note he wrote in his jail cell.

He couldn't have written the note. Image
Image
11/25

The note was also posted on Tuesday August 13th.

3 days after Epstein died.

Post in North Virginia takes 1 processing day after pick-up and is not collected on a Sunday.

Meaning it was likely posted sometime between August 10th at 3:01pm - Monday the 12th before noon.
12/25

This was 3 days after his last lawyer visit, and on the same day he died - making it deeply unlikely it would be his lawyer as it took ages to mail.

So that leaves us with a set of criteria... Image
13/25

So this needed to be someone:

-In North Virginia/DC area
-That knew prisons use blank post cards
-Who knew Epstein was dead right away
-Who wanted a note that looked like a suicide note
-Who had access to earlier Epstein files to know his language about "nubiles"
-Who knew Nassar was moved
-Who had similar penmanship
-Who had connection to Epstein.Image
14/25

And it just so happens that Bill Barr (the son of Epstein's first boss), was the attorney general under Trump at the time.

He was in charge of the case.

He was alerted to Epstein's death.

He had inside access to the case.

He knew about the birthday book. Image
15/25

And where did Barr live at the time?

A custom build home in McLean, Virginia.

In the NOVA processing region, with zipcodes starting with "220"

"NOVA 220" Image
Image
Image
16/25

Now this theory is crazy, right?

The Attorney General, planting a letter to look like a suicide note in the Epstein case is crazy.

His hand writing would also need to match... the rather unique handwriting in the latter....

oh... Image
Image
Image
17/25

The stylized "W" is consistent which is a common tell that someone's name contains that letter as they over stylize it.

It even has the same slant and middle part, and shares a style with an oddly open capital A in "As" Image
Image
Image
18/25

There is also a consistent lazy "R", but even more telling is the fact there are two *different* styles of R in the writing, which isn't common.

But Barr's signature has appeared with both styles in the past, just like the letter. Image
Image
Image
Image
19/25

The letter also uses "open"/"unfinished" lower case "A's" even when standalone.

As seen in Barr's signature.

It even appears in the capital A in "As you know" which again is rare. Image
Image
Image
20/25

The letter open loops its L's and D's and other cursive letters.

As we see in "William" in Barr's full signature. Image
Image
21/25

Barr has also used upward flourishes at the end of words.

Which we see repeated in the letter. Image
Image
Image
Image
22/25

In his public office signature, he adopted a long tail-off, as does the letter in this signature. Image
Image
23/25

And for an initial he uses a flared letter with a sharp point, notably spaced from the letter. The single dot is clean with no motion.

The letter does this as well. Image
Image
24/25

Lastly, is the fact the letters are darker on the ends.

This is a straight of high-end pens like roller ball or fountain pen where the ink is continuous - not a BIC ball point pen.

And in 2019, when photographed for NYMag what pen did Barr have?

Some variety of either Parker Sonnet/IM Rollerball or a Waterman Expert either fountain or rollerball model.

The exact type of pens that can can bleed on letter ends but also have sharp points after an initial - and most people don't use them.Image
Image
Image
Image
25/25

So what would this mean IF this theory is accurate?

That Bill Barr would be part of a cover-up, to hide details about Epstein's death by writing a fake letter he knew would be found.

The timeline matches.

The insider knowledge of Epstein cases match.

The location mailed from matches his home.

The handwriting matches.

The motive matches.

Even the content matches, the note conveniently starts off with Epstein alluding to killing himself, to someone he's never met.

Then mentions something about Trump's interest in young women - something that no one would ever expect was part of a cover-up.

They'd simply then in the future claim that the letter was a plant, without examining who or why.

But, if the letter were taken at face value, it'd give Bill Barr, the DoJ and the BoP the cover they needed for whatever actually happened in the prison that night.

Whether it was negligence, encouraged suicide, or murder, something was covered-up.

The AG, DoJ and BoP all cared about saving their own ass.

But if Barr did this, he'd never tell the incoming DoJ, and so they'd denounce this letter because of its mention of Trump, drawing unwanted scrutiny (like me) to look at it more closely.

And so unless one of Epstein's lawyers wrote this letter on his behalf, knowing their client was going to commit suicide, I can only arrive at the personal theory that Bill Barr posted this to cover-up Epstein's death.

(Standard disclaimer: This is my personal theory, no charges or formal allegations have been brought against Barr. Handwriting analysis is not an exact science, even though the FBI relies on it, and postage locations do not imply guilt. The best way to prove or disprove any coincidences occurring in the Epstein files would be the full release of the files, including the FBI's investigation into this letter. Which I'm sure Bill Barr would have no issue with, right?)Image

This is WILD.

A *HUGE* fuck-up in the Trump DoJ strategy means Luigi will:

* Not face the death penalty

* Technically NOT even face a formal "murder" charge AT ALL?!

All because Pam Bondi cared more about political theatrics than the law.

Let me explain:
2/23

In the State of New York, the charge of murder is § 125.25.

It:

* Does NOT allow for a death penalty

* Does not allow life without parole

* Charges 15 - 25 years.

LWOP (life without parole) requires § 125.27, it requires one of these aggravating factors: Image
3/23

Last January, when Trump took power, he signed EO 14164, requiring the DoJ to pursue the death penalty where possible.

He specifically made a media push about the Luigi Mangione case. Image

This is Kenneth Chesebro.

The MOST important figure in the Fulton case.

He was the lawyer who designed the scheme.

He was:

-deposed in Fulton

-pled guilty

-told ALL the details about Trump’s plots.

These DIRECTLY dispute Trump’s current Fulton claims: Image
Image
2/7

Kenneth was responsible first and foremost for arranging the fake electorate scheme.

He admitted:

* He knew Trump did NOT win the election.

* Trump knew it.

* They planned to use it regardless of election outcome.

* He came up with the false claim that it was standard practice to cover-up this plot.Image
3/7

Legally for the fake elector scheme to work, there *HAD TO* be an active lawsuit in each of those states contesting the election.

Both Cheesebro admitted the Sidney Powell case was that filing for Georgia.

Sidney Powell confessed the Fulton Georgia case was fraudulent, and pled guilty.Image

Here’s my fact check on EVERY one of Trump/MAGA claims regarding Fulton:

1) “Trump has the power to seize paper ballots”

No.

State infrastructure and vote archives have specific protections (see Miles’ post below). Paper ballots are supposed to be the untouched records we compare against.

Taking them means any evidence he would have is now tainted.

It is also likely a criminal act.
2/18

2) “Trump has proof the election was stolen!”

No.

In fact, we have:

* His voice recorded on the phone telling Kemp to “find” him 11,000 votes because he lost.

* Him in multiple conversations with other Republicans admitting he lost (cited in Jack Smith case)

* Him in conversations with other Republicans admitting he knew there was no issue with the voting machines (Jack Smith case)

* Him in writing planning a plot to seize voting machines preemptively, before he claimed any issue. (Barr step down)

* His own lawyers in their election fraud cases, admitting on sworn record, that there was no evidence.
3/18

3) “Trump wasn’t fairly heard in his cases”

No.

MAGA claims all cases were dismissed solely on standing, but that’s not true.

Even when he lacked standing courts often still reviewed the merits of the case.

They didn’t have any. Image

Frame by frame breakdown of this MURDER shows ICE is lying!

-ICE had ALREADY disarmed the man before shooting.

-The man NEVER drew his gun.

At the 0:06 second mark we see the man’s hands on the ground covered in large gloves.

His hands are empty. Image
2/12

At 00:15 one of the agents begins to pistol whip the man in the head.

Showing the orientation of the man’s body and how his hands were NO WHERE near his waist. Image
Image
3/12

At 00:13 we can see the man is on his knees.

An officer in a gray jacket is pulling up his shirt.

You can see the gun in his waistband at 00:16 Image

DHS deleted this one because:

-The family was driving home and got blocked.

-ICE deployed flashbangs and tear gas INSIDE the car.

-The 6-month old child stopped breathing and had to be rushed to hospital.

DHS did NO investigation & rushed to lie to defend the officers. Image
I've verified from prior reporting and 911 call log data the location where ICE tear gassed a 6-month old child:

The 600 block of 23rd Avenue North in Minneapolis.

An entirely residential area.

It did NOT take place at the Whipple Building protest like MAGA has suggested. Image
It is also worth noting multiple people HAVE been blocked in at the Whipple building protests, as a low income Section 42 housing complex is on the edge of the Federal complex and must drive through the complex to get in/out: Image

As someone writing a book on Epstein’s crimes, I try and validate all claims I hear, and only talk about them when I’ve proven or disproven them.

I’ve not yet commented on Sascha Barros/Riley’s claims because they are harder than most to verify.

Here is where I’m at:
2/24

First, I believe Sascha has absolutely experienced abuse.

In investigating these cases, you do learn to hear that pain in a victims voice.

But, due to the nature of trauma, experiencing abuse and accurately retelling it, are not always the same thing.
3/24

Let’s start with what’s clear:

Sascha’s claims about being adopted in the late 1970s by William Kyle Riley, are accurate.

Sascha also has done military service, although I did have trouble tracking down some specific claims about that service. Image
