This is all great fun but the reliance on such internet luminaries as Darryl Cooper and Eric Weinstein undermines Mickey’s arguments. Also logic built on shakey facts, if you’re going to claim Epstein has Mossad connection because of Barak, you had better know if Barak was actually ever in Mossad, for the record 5 minutes of googling says he wasn’t.
Why would Epstein lie about the first attempt on his life if it was attempted murder? If he reported it, then people would know that any further attempts were murders, so the perpetrators would not be able to frame it as a suicide. As a result, they would be less likely to kill him since they know they'd be investigated. That might not deter hardcore gang members, but it might deter powerful billionaires or intelligence agencies.
At last! Mickey, oh how we've missed you. Can't wait to dive in.

We missed you Mickey
You were distinctively illuminating! Thank you guys.
Great to hear Bob’s post-surgery sense of humor :)
And nice to see that Mickey is still an idiot.
Maybe it was assisted suicide.
Yeah I think there was an audio delay as Bob said. Mickey, please forgive Bob for some interruptions (not all!). I think they were caused by that.
