    ok, so was this guy some kind of idiot? why would someone just say these incriminating things so openly and brazenly?

      He was in jail already, he knew he was about to die and he wrote to a fellow imprisoned pedophile to say trump’s one of us, but we’re the ones in jail, life’s not fair.

      That’s the context.

      When you’re friends with all the powerful people, you don’t have much to fear. Eventually I bet it just starts to feel normal.

      From the letterhead it looks like it was sent from a corrections facility. So he was already locked up and probably realized he was already cooked.

      “I have take the “Short Route” home”

      This implies he was going to commit suicide so no need to keep secrets

        He knew he was about to die. That could mean suicide, but he knew the rules of the game he was playing.

        The gap and editing in the prison footage still implies murder, i think. He just knew it was coming.

      If I’m not mistaken they were both in prison already at the time - maybe it was a way to “get attention” to try to start a blackmail negotiation? (Didn’t pan out well for him, it seems)
