AG says ‘irregularities’ found at jail where Epstein died

NEW YORK (AP) — Attorney General William Barr said Monday that there were “serious irregularities” at the federal jail where Jeffrey Epstein took his own life as he awaited trial on charges he sexually abused underage girls.

The 66-year-old financier was found Saturday morning in his cell at the chronically short-staffed Metropolitan Correctional Center, in a unit known for holding notorious prisoners under extremely tight security.

“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 at a police conference in New Orleans. “We are now learning of serious irregularities at this facility that are deeply concerning and demand a thorough investigation. The FBI and the office of inspector general are doing just that.”

He added: “We will get to the bottom of what happened and there will be accountability.”

The manner in which Epstein killed himself has not been announced. An autopsy was performed Sunday, but New York City Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Barbara Sampson said investigators were awaiting further information.

A private pathologist, Dr. Michael Baden, observed the autopsy at the request of Epstein’s lawyers. Baden was the city’s chief medical examiner in the late 1970s and has been called as an expert witness in high-profile cases, including O.J. Simpson’s 1994 murder trial.

There were irregularities at Pearl Harbor in 1941 & New York City on 9/11, too.

Barr actually believes the whole department was appalled and angry? Really? Wow. The guy is out to lunch.

Has it been confirmed that Bob Barr visited the prison holding Epstein in the last two weeks? I saw that somewhere.

I’m thinking if I’m AG Barr, I would haul my ass over to the MCC and not leave until I got answers I believed.

Or get those long-since promised unredacted FISA documents out into the public eye.

************

Trump should have released the FISA docs back when he ordered it “at the request of a number of committees of Congress, and for reasons of transparency.” I actually thought he was going to do that. We’ll probably never see them now.

Maybe Barr should instead get to work on designating antifa as a domestic terrorist group.

*************

Barr is certainly setting a low bar for justice.

Barr is STILL appalled.

There were serious irregularities (sounds like he’s talking about quality control issues with a shipment of goods).

Antifa is small beer compared to to threat NYS’s pols and bureaucrats pose.

It’s not a coinkydink that this took place in NYS.

I wish Barr would be equally appalled by the malfeasance, politicization, and wrongdoing in his own department. There are serious irregularities there too.
