So according to the right, the Clintons had Epstein murdered.
I refuse to get into conspiracies so let's stick to facts: Jeffrey Epstein died in a FEDERAL jail (Metropolitan Correctional Center in NY). Who runs federal prisons? The DOJ headed by trump's AG Bill Barr-the same Barr who lied about what was in Mueller report to cover for trump.
Means and motive. Opportunities are outsourced.
So back to my original question: Are Republicans really this stupid or is it a coordinated bot attack working overtime?

There is such a thing as a silent conspiracy where there are no facts. It's about a number of people knowing the objective and knowing what was expected of them with little to no communication.
It's how the Mafia gets away with crime. Remember, Al Capone went to jail for tax fraud. There were no facts to tie him to the hundreds of deaths he was believed to have ordered.
@Heartlander then they shouldn’t be taken seriously which is the point of my comment sorry bud but conspiracy theories are concocted by people too lazy to do research on any given topic so if they don’t know something they automatically fill in the blank with it must be a conspiracy it’s no different from the people who do not know the answer to something and then say it must have been god its just a lack of intellect

Well, that's when I disagree. I do agree that they shouldn't be accepted as facts or closed conclusions, but should be considered as possible explanations of what happened. Somewhere in the dozens and dozens of theories is possibly the truth, or pieces of the truth.
I think it's also important to consider that people investigating the facts may deflect the facts to protect special interests, even if they themselves aren't a part of the crime. With a silent conspiracy conspirators may pile on to protect an institution or reputation.
How much of this do we see with Catholic church pedophile revelations. 60+ years later, I learned that my parish priest then was a child molester. Why did it take so long? Because people who themselves may not have been involved were more interested in protecting the institution.
We also saw this a few years ago when we discovered that the CIA had been less than truthful during the Kennedy assassination investigations. They lied because they didn't want the American people to know about any involvement in plans by the US government to assassinate Fidel Castro.
Most investigations start with exploring motives and imagining plausible scenarios of how a crime could have happened, the facts are then fed in to either give credit or discredit to the various scenarios. I think in this case there are those already in the forefront of motives, and there certainly is incentive by many who may want to deflect the investigation.
So I think it's healthy for the democracy for people, whether nut-jobs or PhDs, to say what they think may have happened. Otherwise it's kind of like when allegations of priest sexual misconduct was left to the bishop to investigate.
