Attorney General William Barr said Monday that he was “appalled” by Jeffrey Epstein’s apparent suicide over the weekend, but urged that the millionaire pedophile’s co-conspirators “should not rest easy.”
“This sex trafficking case was very important to the Department of Justice and to me personally,” Barr said during a speech before the National Fraternal Order of Police in New Orleans.
“Let me assure you that this case will continue on against anyone who was complicit with Epstein. Any co-conspirators should not rest easy.”
Epstein died early Saturday morning after he seemingly hanged himself in his jail cell at Metropolitan Correction Center (MCC), a federal jail facility in New York City.
Epstein was reportedly not on suicide watch, even though he is believed to have attempted suicide more than two weeks ago. According to news reports, there is no video of Epstein in his jail cell, and the correctional officers tasked with monitoring him had worked overtime.
A New York City medical examiner said that more time is needed to determine Epstein’s cause of death, though it is being treated as a suicide.
On Friday, a federal judge in New York unsealed thousands of pages of documents from a lawsuit against Epstein. The documents alleged that Epstein and his longtime assistant, Ghislaine Maxwell, operated an international sex trafficking ring of underage girls. Several well-known international figures are identified in the documents, including former Democratic New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, former Democratic Sen. George Mitchell, and Prince Andrew.
Barr ordered an FBI investigation of the circumstances of Epstein’s death. He also directed the Justice Department inspector general’s investigation to investigate MCC’s handling of Epstein.
“I was appalled, and indeed the whole department was, and frankly angry, to learn of the MCC’s failure to adequately secure this prisoner,” Barr said.
“We are now learning of serious irregularities at this facility that are deeply concerning and demand a thorough investigation.”
Talk is cheap.

Maybe we should appoint Mueller to head it up........./s
If these investigations follow through wherever they lead this one characteristic of the Elite will decapitate the Deep State, Republicans, Democrats, and Others alike. The pushback is going to be more intense ad seriously pursued than any other investigations ever. Depending on how far it goes I predict increasing numbers of mysterious accidents, sudden fatal medical events and open street assassinations.
Or Sessions.
Don’t ‘/s’........They probably will!...................

This whole situation is a joke.
Zero faith in the justice system. Less than zero, we’re at negative numbers.
Barr is going to be spinning a lot of plates with all of these “investigations” going on. /s

So. Barr is upset. He’s taking this personally.
But he’s been in office over 6 months. Where are the indictments, the subpoenas, the arrest warrants and perp walks for the Clintons, Comey, Obama, and dozens of other Rat criminals?
Hillary go away with an illegal email server, she'll get away with this.
I’m sure the Clintons are shaking in their boots...
The "thorough" investigation won't conclude until after the 2020 elections. They'll find irregularities, bias, a lack of candor and mistakes. They'll issue new rules and require mandatory training.
That's the IG track record.
So off all of this goes into the Horowitz black hole.
Horsefeathers!
Rubbish!
Bullocks!
BS!

Where is the accountability in DC? Truly, DC is the District Of CRIMINALS.
If any FRreeper had committed any of these Deep State crimes, we would have been prosecuted and jailed months ago.
“But he’s been in office over 6 months. Where are the indictments, the subpoenas, the arrest warrants and perp walks for the Clintons, Comey, Obama, and dozens of other Rat criminals?”
How much more time needs to go by before we must offer Jeff Sessions an apology?
I thought Barr was supposed to be a bulldog.
and more talk is much cheaper.
They have nothing now as the women are all working their Sugar Daddys and they won’t endanger that gravy train.
Nothing came of Heidi Fless and nothing will come of this.
UK Daily Mail reports dozen FBI on the ground at Epstein Island right now.
Sessions was out in the open about his cowardice, about his recusal and about his willingness to do absolutely nothing.
I guess we can give him credit for that.
What would be worse would be an AG who claims to be tough, but isn't.
How long did that take?
