The death of legendary criminal defense lawyer Roy Black, who helped secure a controversial plea agreement for Jeffrey Epstein two decades ago, sent conspiracy theorists in a fresh spiral or outrage. The 80-year-old trial attorney and longtime University of Miami law professor represented numerous high-profile clients over the years, including William Kennedy Smith, Rush Limbaugh, Helio Castroneves, Kelsey Grammer, Fred De la Mata, BuzzFeed, and Rolls-Royce, reported WPLG-TV.

“He really was the GOAT of criminal defense lawyers,” wrote David Oscar Markus in his The Southern District of Florida blog. “The most determined. And always so positive about winning.”

The father of two died from an illness Monday at his home in Coral Gables — but many social media users questioned the timing of his death as President Donald Trump tries to ride out an ongoing scandal over his ties to Epstein and his Department of Justice's handling of the matter.

"I know, Roy Black was 80, but are they still checking for any signs of foul play?" asked the widely followed X account The Astute Galoot. "Nothing suspicious. Virginia Giuffre, Roy Black, Epstein," posted X user Katelyn Keanon, adding a raised-eyebrow emoji. "All died under Trump!"

and incidental things like this fit perfectly into their philosophy of "cover ups".

Since Bondi had been so "theatric" when she first broached the subject and insisted (lied) with a giddy flourish, that she "had the files on her desk" (or whatever idiotic thing she said) and would "release them", and then suddenly backtracked on that "promise", that fired up the fury.
