Officials with the Perry County, Arkansas Sheriff have ruled that the May 2022 death of former Clinton Administration aide Mark Middleton, who was found tied to a tree with an electrical cord around his neck, dead of a gunshot wound, was Arkancide, the Daily Mail reports while noting that Middleton signed Jeffrey Epstein in as a visitor to the White House several times in the 1990s.

The Daily Mail also adds that no gun was recovered at the scene, according to the police report which kinda sounds like something pretty important that wouldn’t just be confined to a shitty British tabloid with dozens of ads on every fucking article. If as they claim they exclusively obtained the sheriff’s department’s report on the death then why was it so hard to pick up the phone and get clarification from the department on why they ruled it a suicide but didn’t recover a gun?

Isn’t that sort of lying by omission or inaction on the Daily Mail’s part? Look at it from the other side: Exposing the “Clinton Crime Syndicate” would be the story of the century and millions of American readers would flock to the Daily Mail if they could somehow implicate the local sheriff in the “coverup.” It’s not clear if the newsroom is being fucking lazy or just wanted to leave it open-ended and not pursue what would likely lead to a not very tantalizing reason the gun wasn’t there.

And in related, less tenuously sourced Epstein news, Law and Crime reported Wednesday executives from Deutsche Bank were at Epstein’s home in New York City in January 2015, talking business while sex-trafficking victims were also there at the same time.
