Well, if it’s said it’s not like we’re going to hear about it.
ok, thanks - I’ll post that to the other poster..
the silver lining is that no deep stater can be totally certain that epstein was not offed while in fed pen custody. trump merely has to toss a deep stater suspect into a federal prison, let him / her simmer in the thought that the next in-custody victim might just be him / her, and there is not a single thing that they can do to stop it if the hidden powers that be determine that their number is up. this might loosen some tongues that would otherwise remain silent.
as i recall, jack ruby died in prison after claiming that he knew more than he had so far told investigators, and that people were trying to kill him. “My life is in danger here.” Ruby died technically unconvicted, since his conviction was overturned on appeal and he was awaiting a second trial.
We in the USA have quaint customs for high profile people held under arrest while awaiting trial.
for more detail on ruby in prison, see the yankee and cowboy war by carl oglesby (1976).
This is one reason why we screen people as best we can before they are allowed into the Intel community. It is also why we re-screen everyone every five years.
The process isn't perfect but it is the best we have achieved so far.
If there is a downside it is that the American public must act as the screeners for our political overlords. They run the show, as it should be.
During my time in the community I got to meet and work with some of the best and most upright people you would ever want around you. There was the occasional stinker but they were few and far between.

However, my previous remarks were from the mistaken supposition that Epstein was in Federal custody.
I was just reading, in this thread, that he, Epstein, was being held in Manhattan jail or some such place, under the jurisdiction of NYC.
"Never mind"... and please excuse my previous bloviation on the matter.

I hope you can stay comfortable while that wing heals!
my sides ... this is the second time on this thread, I can’t stop laughing ... the other was the mystery person HRC with a mustache & sunglasses ROFL.
what are the qualifications of skipper-scott? i got the sense that she has a conventional law degree, not a criminal justice or justice administration degree (i could be wrong). did she join the alabama bar association? how often do wardens have law degrees instead of degrees in these fields?

So, my remarks from post 2054 are hereby UN-retracted, for anyone who is interested, and my new tagline is reinstated also.
yet another odd observation is that warden skipper-scott has still not even appeared in the news yet.
why not? is she still on a cruise ship halfway to easter island (or somewhere like that)?

Trump just beat Democrats on guns
On Thursday, as Matt Drudge and the Washington Post tried to create a split between President Donald John Trump and the NRA, I told readers “Don’t go Ann Coulter over a Washington Post story.”
The Post, a toy owned by the richest man in the world, wrote, “Trump warned by NRA over background checks.”
In response, I calmly wrote, “The important thing to remember is President Trump is taking the NRA’s calls. They are in on the negotiations. I would rather not add a law and maybe President Trump is making the liberals an offer they cannot accept. He did that with the DREAMers.”
Ah yes, in September 2017, the Ann Coulters of the world declared President Trump sold them out on amnesty. I wrote, “No, Trump did not cave.”
Two years later, amnesty is not only dead but no one talks about it. I’ll explain later why I got it and smarter people than me did not.
But first, let us look at this latest battle.
USA Today reported, “President Donald Trump said on Friday that congressional leaders are talking about new ‘meaningful background checks’ for gun buyers but with input from the National Rifle Association and other gun groups that oppose current legislative proposals.”
Who knew?
My readers, that’s who, because I keep them informed.
President Trump is playing Democrats again. They want to make gun control an issue. He said, OK, and took control of the gun control debate. The debate will be on his terms and in his language. That is power positioning.
The mopes at the Post and Matt Drudge thought they could divide President Trump from his supporters with the report on the NRA warning the president on guns.
I knew in an instant what was happening. I knew Democrats would lose because President Trump never engages the enemy without first winning the battle. I also knew the president, a busy man, had outsourced the terms of the Democrat surrender to the NRA.
Whatever deal is made will have the NRA’s approval.
I knew because of the First Squeal Rule. Whenever decisions are made privately, the loser is the one who goes public first in an effort to save face.
The best example is that White House meeting two years ago with Nancy and Chuck. After the meeting, Nancy and Chuck immediately talked to the press.
Ann Coulter believed them. She said there would be amnesty and no wall. She tweeted, “At this point, who DOESN’T want Trump impeached?”
Two years later, the answer to her inane question remains the same: Normal People.
Under the First Squeal Rule, the internal discussion at the White House was over the NRA’s role in the gun debate. Those who lost the discussion went to the Post with their version of the story. That got their side out first but it did not change the outcome. It never should.
I am not saying the media gets everything about Donald Trump wrong. I am just having trouble remembering the last time they got it right.
Bkmk. Hopelessly behind.
Seems to me if he wasn’t on suicide watch, at least he was in the SHU. How did they get him in the SHU? This is like the Hound of the Baskervilles. Look for the dog that DIDN’T bark.
No:
The Metropolitan Correctional Center, New York is a United States federal administrative prison in Manhattan, New York which holds male and female prisoners of all security levels. It is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, a division of the United States Department of Justice.Wikipedia
They ALWAYS do an autopsy for any non physician attended death. However that fact, in this case, gives me no confidence that one will actually be done.
