Though the initial arrests were limited in scope, in testimony before the U.S. Senate on Tuesday, BOP Director Kathleen Hawk Sawyer said that the search for accountability could be extensive, claiming that the FBI is investigating if a “criminal enterprise” could have been involved in Epstein’s death.
“If the FBI is involved, then they are looking at criminal enterprise,” Hawk Sawyer answered. She added that she was not “at liberty to discuss specifics” because the case is ongoing. Though Hawk Sawyer’s revelation — that the FBI is investigating if actors outside the BOP had a hand in the financier’s death — is the exact stuff of a popular conspiracy meme, she did not engage with the idea that Epstein did not kill himself. When Graham asked her if she “concur[red] with the opinion that it was a suicide,” Hawk Sawyer said that she did not have any evidence to counter “the finding of the coroner.

FBI Solving 80% More Cases After Getting Great Big Magnifying GlassWASHINGTON—Describing the new piece of equipment as indispensable to the agency’s successful reduction of backlogged cases, the FBI reported Tuesday it had solved 80% more crimes since investing in a great big magnifying glass. “Not since the implementation of DNA profiling in the 1980s have we equipped our investigators with such a powerful new forensic tool,” said FBI Director Christopher Wray, confirming that thousands of human hairs, muddy footprints, flecks of blood, and other crucial evidence would have gone undiscovered had the bureau not upgraded its technology to include the handheld vision-enhancement device. “A potential clue that appears really small—perhaps even invisible—to the naked eye can be made to appear much larger with the assistance of this single oversized magnifying glass. We are now drafting a budget requisition to authorize the purchase of a deerstalker cap, which we believe could work similar wonders for our clearance rate.” At press time, sources said officials were scrambling to put out a fire that engulfed evidence lockers at FBI headquarters after agents discovered the magnifying glass could also be used to concentrate a ray of sunlight.
