    Them writing the report especially in advance would take away their plausible deniability and just bring more attention to the scene

    The report had no urgency to be done so having it done in advance especially considering in a murder details could have changed seems pointless

      … assuming that it can be determined conclusively that that happened.

      Which, it often cannot be, in a bureaucratic system that normally has some kind of subordinate to do those things of things, but where sometimes the superior person just directly does it instead.

      So ok, you clearly have not worked in a large bureaucratic organization before, or … this would be very obvious to you.

      The report had no urgency to be done so having it done in advance especially considering in a murder details could have changed seems pointless

      This is just nonsensical.

      The entire … thing here is a statement that was released urgently.

      The entire contention is that it may have been so urgent that it was actually pre-planned and drafted prior to the actual event.

      You are just entirely dismissing this possibility, to prove that this possibility did not happen.

      I am not saying 100% either way that it was a clerical error or a premeditated construction.

      I don’t know for certain either way.

      But you are using very bad logic to argue that it was a clerical error.

        Imagine you rob a jewelry store, and you want to make sure you have an iron clad alibi so you have a person pretend to be you and get seen on video camera at a bank.

        Would you request that video in advance from the bank so as soon as a cop comes to see you, you can present it? No! Because pre obtaining an alibi for a crime you are pretending you didn’t commit makes you look guilty

        Writing the report in advance makes you look guilty even if it wasn’t murder

        Bypassing standard operating procedures and having a senior person (someone high enough that they are “worthy” of the knowledge that the suicide was staged) writing a report is also suspicious

        Having a report prefilled out so it can be urgently released instead of the normal wait time is also suspicious

        So we go back to Occam’s razor is the assumption that they ignored numerous basic attempts to cover their tracks that any idiot who watched an episode of NCIS would know to do, or did a person put in the wrong date?

        Again I am not denying in the slightest that Epstein didn’t kill himself but the argument that this is proof of it is ludicrous.
