    There’s a conspiracy theory (not entirely without merit, but generally assumed to be baseless) that people with negative information about the Clintons end up dead suspiciously. Epstein was one such person, under this theory.

      Why didn’t they kill Monica? This conspiracy theory is actual garbage.

      Both of the Clintons are garbage human beings who didn’t/don’t deserve to be in office (which is true of most politicians). Bill definitely coerced women into sex. But when the loudest critics of the Clintons are tinfoil loons, it takes all of the air out of the room.

        That’s the biggest hole in the theory for me. If they’re willing to disappear people, there are a lot of people they seem to have missed.

        There’s a sort of counter theory that says that the Clintons themselves started the conspiracy theory as a way of putting all Clinton dissent under the heading of a conspiracy, and honestly I find that much more believable.

      Thanks for explaining.

      I never heard of that. and for the Eipstein, I always associated his info with powerful people, but not specifically with the Clintons ಠ_ಠ

        Right, there are a lot of possible names to blame for Epstein for sure. Like I said, it’s a theory that’s largely considered to be baseless. The Clintons have a lot of faults, but I haven’t seen any indication that they’re into assassinations.
