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.”
Authorities couldn’t keep Epstein alive by putting him under 24 hour surveillance? How convenient for a lot of rich and powerful men.

He reportedly tried to kill himself two weeks ago. And is allowed to finish the job now? Bullshit.

Powerful Democratic and Republican figures breathing a huge sigh of relief—as well as a Harvard professor or two.

The rich and powerful get away with raping young girls…again.

Scarborough had also retweeted other Epstein death skeptics such as creator of the show Billions Brian Koppelman.
Look. I have studied powerful people and criminals for a long time. Even if there’s “photographic evidence” there is no way this was suicide.
Having someone killed or hurt in jail can be as simple as leaving them unprotected. As simple as paying someone outside the jail. https://t.co/sCnvbs1A6k— Brian Koppelman (@briankoppelman) August 10, 2019
