The attorney general confirmed it was a suicide, so if we're to believe it was actually a surreptitious murder, it goes all the way to the top.

You mean AG Barr, whose father hired Epstein as a 20-year-old college dropout to teach calculus and physics at a prestigious prep school? https://hillreporter.com/the-ties-that-bind-jeffrey-epstein-...
Considering his involvement in Iran-Contra and deliberate derailing of Congressional oversight, I wouldn't believe a word the current attorney general says.

Especially because the case disappearing is clearly convenient for people personally connected to the AG, or to whom the AG owes a favor.

Not to mention that the AG runs the Bureau of Prisons.

Epstein was in Barr's custody.

It is quite possible he was taken off suicide watch so he could... commit suicide. It wouldn't have to be a murder in the technical sense
the video of the first "suicide attempt" was lost too - due to technical error, accidentally erased or some "Oopss!" like this...

Of course it goes to the top. Just look at Epstein's cohorts.
Assisted suicide?
Or maybe the attorney generals public statement is confirmed suicide, as to not be suicided himself, but meanwhile reaching out to uncorrupt allies that can investigate the murder wide-eyed-optimist-face?
