NEW YORK — , a person familiar with the jail’s operations tells The Associated Press.
Epstein should have been checked on by guards in his cell every 30 minutes, but that didn’t happen the night before his apparent suicide, a law enforcement official told the Times. A law enforcement source also said he was alone in his cell Saturday night after his cellmate was transferred. An official with knowledge of the investigation told the Times that the Justice Department was told Epstein would have a cellmate and be monitored by a guard every 30 minutes.Sign Up
The mystery surrounding how he was able to kill himself in jail comes as investigators have been digging into allegations of sexual abuse and conspiracy against Epstein . An additional federal investigation was launched Saturday after the Federal Bureau of Prison said Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell at a high-security jail in Manhattan. He was later pronounced dead from an apparent suicide, the BOP said.
But then too Ep was in a nice area with privacy (no camera), and we do know Ep was a friend of Trump. So there you have it,-----friends get better federal prison housing.
you really expect us to believe that
Most ridicolous excuse award winner
Why does that ducking matter So? Why do news orgs keep headlining that? So pathetic .
I don’t believe this for one minute. When you have somebody like Epstein in prison, he would be under priority status. Especially since he allegedly attempted this the week before! When will politico be demanding the toxicology reports?
Still not a good enough excuse. Any chance there is a real journalist out there working on this? Don't get Seth Riched, be careful.
Absolute bullshit
Uh-huh
That’s the best they could come up with? Our lying government officials are losing a step or just getting lazy because the public just gave up.
Ever since NotBillBarr there seems to be more excuses than answers, more un-truths than truth. He is definitely NOT serving the United States Of America! And then there’s this👇🏼
Here Comes the excuses
This is like the worst thing it created so many conspiracy theories so much b******* just like Donald Trump another nightmare in the media we need more nightmares in the media don't we America😫😁
What? They were being paid overtime for watching Epstein? Hmm...another made for TV mini series. A spin-off from the Mueller Investigation.
Sure...tell me more
Maybe he didnt have a cellmate.
BS
Let's start counting the mistakes on the most notorious and watched criminal in August 2019. I bet $100, the cameras were turned off accidentally.
Cover up ... with trillions on the national debt somebody’s got a lot of explaining to do to keep their job .. aiding and abetting a death
No excuses
Okay
Yea Right ..and i got a Bridge for sale dirt cheap.
So they were working. No excuses then.
Barr Instructions.
How much overtime did the guard normally work? Does the guard get paid for ot? How much ot did this guard work in years past?
Not enough guards to do checks.. camera malfunction, no buddy witness in cell.. perfect night to stage a fake death.
and his cell mate? Where was his cell mate? Was he working double shifts too and went home early that night?
'Okay, do we all agree? The guards were exhausted and too tired to carry out their duties in a competent manner. I mean, we got to stick with this story. Anybody have a better story? Anyway, the big guy likes my version.'
He should have been closed circuit monitored 24/7 period. 'Stupid is what stupid does'.
How convenient.
Time to fire lots of folks in that prison! And their incompetent political bosses.
Still doesn't explain how he came to possess something to hang himself with in his cell
I'm not buying anything this admin says. ShowEpsteinCorps Barr & co could have helped him escape. We want proof.
what a coincidence!
It's not the point. Even if he was off suicide watch, Epstein was in a cell wearing clothes that could not be used to hang himself & same with the bedding. It was either murder or more likely it was faked.
If they were working overtime, how come they didn't see him wringing his own neck 🤷♂️
I don’t believe this.
So the autopsy revealed suicide by extreme overtime shift?
Do you leave the 1 inmate unattended and released from suicidal watch when so many powerful people want him dead?
Even if this really is true people are just not buying it, and one can't blame them for it. Responsible authorities such as the DOJ are now being almoat universallu viewed as either incompetent up to the point of being disfunctional or simply malignant..
Bullshit. They were likely off duty or paid off when this operation went down.
Why wasn’t this unit properly staffed?
So it’s all down to tired guards, right? Sure. EpsteinSuicide
...and the dog ate my homework.
Not an excuse.
A high profile inmate that tried to kill himself was left unattended? let's see what excuse Mr Barr will provide, another 5 pages memo blaming no one?
Riiiiggghhhtttt!!!
Lol
Sure they were
Not that I really give any fux about this p.o.s. but what exactly is extreme overtime & what were they being paid for 'extreme overtime'?
OK, so tell me what inmates instead got the attention the most notorious prisoner in the country didn't get?
So Trump’s DOJ is failing to even staff appropriately?
Uh huh.
ClintonsBodyCount
MCC uniform shortages shown moments before suicide.
Yeah let’s go with that. Overworked guards. Were they taking a nap?
That’s their story and they’re sticking to it
And the cover ups are starting to surface ..
At the same moment the cameras malfunctioned!
Sure they were
Hogwash!
Even giving that excuse an iota of credence why, considering that shortage, was his cellmate moved out that night. I hope the investigation is thorough.
S
Barr made a number of secret meetings with Epstein. Perhaps he carried out what the conman ordered him to do? We might never know!
Uh, yea right.
You had one job....
It was the effects of the trump economy causing a tight labor market. Yup that’s gonna be the spin 🚨 🚨
Multiple stories on Epstein death. Was he on suicide watch like he should have been? The guards were overworked ? That sounds really plausible. The cameras were turned off? For a high level risk, too many people in high places wanted him gone. . .
So, what ?
Has Barr found a low level employee to blame? Good, good, we can all rest tonight.
Sorry, I don’t believe you
No. That's not enough.
Ok, I see where this is going! 😒
Hahahahaha, the hypocrisy is so RICH. Somebody’s getting in big trouble. whitemandiesincustody
Yeah right
I thought there was a three hour maintenance window where guards were 'dismissed'?
Sure ok. It’s like telling the judge - I vehemently object on prejudicial grounds when the smoking gun is getting admitted to evidence to prove the crime.
but by bit the facts will come out.....some correctional facilities restrict the number of overtime shifts that can be worked in a week, because of fatigue...apparently Feds have no restrictions...leads to carelessness in a place where there can be serious consequences...🤔
No excuse
Nope. Not buying it. Try again.
I say BS
