No. I'm just pointing out that there's a lot of conspiracy theories trying to link people who had at best tangential relationships with Epstein with his demise, but somehow manage to ignore that literally the most powerful man on planet Earth had a lot to lose from Epstein's indiscretions becoming public.

It's interesting how conspiracy theories seem to always have a very particular... 'conservative' bias.

So the Russian collusion conspiracy is a "conservative" bias. That's pretty interesting.
I don't want to use HN to discuss politics, but notice that the 'Russian collusion conspiracy' is not a conspiracy theory. Donald Trump Jr himself published the emails setting up a meeting with a Russian lawyer which - he admitted - was supposed to yield information that'd help his father in the election. That makes it the very definition of a real conspiracy, right?
Isn’t that the epitome of starting a conspiracy based on flimsy accusation? And the conspiracy kept alive for 2 years, by whom?
Hm... not sure what you are trying to say. What flimsy accusation? Donald Trump Jr released the emails himself on Twitter? What in that is a 'flimsy accusation'?
