MSNBC host Joe Scarborough took to Twitter shortly after news of Jeffrey Epstein’s death broke Saturday morning to theorize about… a Russian connection?

In a series of tweets, Scarborough expressed his skepticism behind reports of Epstein dying from an apparent suicide in his New York City jail cell overnight.

Scarborough went so far to imply that the suicide explanation seemed “predictably … Russian” and “bullshit.”

Scarborough had also retweeted other Epstein death skeptics such as creator of the show Billions Brian Koppelman.

    I agree, but, kind of, well, “odd”, coming from him, given his history. And I’m not just talking about his being a former leading Repub deep in the anti-Clintons effort. I’m talking about the well-known CT regarding a former intern of his. Even if it’s baseless, weird for him to talk about this.

    Well, who would have better insight into such a thing than someone like him.

  4. Just another unfortunate meal at the Putin Bistro for someone deemed too risky for the entrenched power structure.
