Epstein Was Left Alone and Not Closely Monitored Before Jail Suicide
New York Times via MSN ^ | Aug. 11, 2019 | Katie Benner, Daniel Ivory, &Ricard A. Oppel, Jr.

Jeffrey Epstein, the financier who hanged himself in a federal jail in Manhattan, was supposed to have been checked by guards every 30 minutes, but that procedure was not being followed the night before he was found, a law-enforcement official with knowledge of his detention said.

In addition, the jail had transferred his cellmate and allowed Mr. Epstein to be housed alone in a cell just two weeks after he had been taken off suicide watch, a decision that also violated the jail’s normal procedure, two officials said.

The disclosures about apparent failures in Mr. Epstein’s detention at the Metropolitan Correctional Center deepened questions about his suicide and are very likely to be the focus of inquiries by the Justice Department and the F.B.I.

ROTFLMAO!! The coverup by the Slimes begins. Note how they blandly state the death was a "suicide" by hanging while simultaneously giving enough information to indicate it could well have been a murder in that: 1) Epstein was supposed to have a cell mate, but didn't, contrary to protocol; 2) was removed from suicide watch; 3) contrary to the prison's assurances to the DOJ, no guard actually looked in on him "every 30 minutes" and; 4) there appear to be no eyewitnesses to what happened or video recordings of the incident. Equally important, as far as video recordings are concerned, there's no explanation of why Epstein, the most vital DOJ prisoner/witness in the country, wasn't kept under constant video surveillance.

What a total setup for murder or virtual murder in the form of an allowed suicide, but the Slimes ignores all of this and states "suicide" as a foregone conclusion.

This untimely death certainly is convenient for the Clintons, and other powerful people.

If I was Barr, I’d ordered the body impounded until an autopsy could be performed by hand picked docs and under personal eyewitness supervision.

It will be determined that he died of natural causes.

You could not possibly construct a more suspicious circumstance.

That said, the guy did have ample reason to commit suicide. His life was over. He was never getting out of prison. Would never molest another child. Would probably be murdered in the gen-pop. if he ever made it into the the gen-pop. Money gone. Reputation gone. Nothing but shame, hatred and opprobrium from here on out.

TIN FOIL HAT..

The Deep State MEDIA seems so INTENT to say "suicide" so matter-of-factually! The word "ALLEGED" should precede "suicide" but the media seems to intent on us ACCEPTING "SUICIDE" as FACT. That makes me VERY suspicious!

The guards who shirked their duties will be fired then move to somewhere sunny with more money in the bank than they would have made in 3 more lifetimes of working.

And oddly enough a federal correctional officer is buying a house in the Hamptons. He paid cash.

All I heard on Fux News yesterday was “Apparent suicide” over and over and over and over...

Mass mind control much, Fux?

There is nothing apparent about any of this other than all of it STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN!

“Jeffrey Epstein, the financier who hanged himself...”

What? When was this announced or established?

I guess it’s ipso facto in the Slime universe.

If you’re suspected of being a suicide candidate, your belt and any other item that could be used to make a rope or hanging device, are removed from the cell.

It would be interesting to hear what he used to do he deed.

He could have stuffed things down his throat too I guess.

What did he use to hang himself? From what did he hang himself?

So Epstein was left alone. But I guess it all depends on your definition of “alone”. Because I’m betting that - for a few minutes - Epstein was sharing his cell with someone else. And that someone else sent Epstein to the Great Beyond.

If the New York Times says it was suicide, you _know_ it was murder.

100% chance—always win betting on the Slimes to lie.

Now that Epstein is dead and the criminal process is terminated, here is how I see things playing out in the civil courts.

The lawyers representing the Epstein Estate will make deals with all of the underage girls to give them a bunch of money to keep quiet about their dalliances with the many rich and powerful men.

The documents that were released on Friday will be the last anyone will read about Epstein and his Lolita Express Train.

Right! I’ve read that such a prisoner even gets special clothing, and special bedsheets. He gets nothing that can be twisted into a rope and then support the weight of a man.

I'm sorry, but that information is data relating to a personal health event and is protected from disclosure by HIPAA.

Also, that information is classifed top secret/sensitive compartmented information in order to protect sources and methods.

Also, that information relates to an ongoing investigation and therefore cannot be disclosed.

Also, that information falls within the category of data sealed under the terms of an executive order signed by President Barack Obama in 2009.

Also, that information has been categorized by the State Department as information that if revealed might cause sensitive damage to the relations between the United States and one or more foreign countries.

Do you need others? We have more.

I agree with all your points except this one. What was it about Epstein that made him the "most vital" of anything at all? He surely wasn't a "witness" to anything in a legal context, as he was facing major Federal charges and was the target of civil lawsuits that gave him ZERO incentive to be a witness to anything at all.

Sure, there were PLENTY of reasons for him to commit suicide. All the MORE reason to keep a close eye on him.

Remember the Godfather? Remember Frank Pentangeli? If he commits suicide, his family would be well taken care of? There should never had been a second where there was an eyeball taken off him.
