That's my point, it doesn't appear to change anything in the investigation at all, except that they can't prosecute a dead man. Victims can still sue the estate civilly.  And then keep in mind there is a conspiracy charge, which I'm pretty sure inherently means that "other people" are implicated. The DOJ seems to echo this sentiment at the end of this statement: https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/statement-manhattan-us-attorney-death-defendant-jeffrey-epstein I also heard Trey Gowdy say that whatever evidence they gathered can be used in parallel prosecutions. And I concur, this isn't good for the Clintons, whether or not they had anything to do with his death..simply because the public is suspicious and thinks they did. And what do you need to prosecute people of such a high profile (apart from evidence)?  Public opinion.  Well maybe you don't need public opinion in your corner, and sure it can be swayed by evidence, but it certainly doesn't hurt in this case now does it? Also, there are no "warrants to oppose".  The warrants were already executed when they arrested him.  And if additional warrants are needed, shit c'mon.  There's no one to oppose them..and even if there were, good fucking luck when you consider that whatever probable cause they had to get the first warrant  3183  s is only further bolstered by whatever they found when executing them. This is game, set, and match.
