BREAKING Jeffrey Epstein Suicide: Two Jail Workers Arrested
nytimes.com ^ | 11/19/19 | William K. Rashbaum, Danielle Ivory and Michael Gold

Two federal workers who were on duty the night Jeffrey Epstein killed himself in a Manhattan jail were charged on Tuesday in connection with their alleged failure to check on him every half-hour.

The two federal Bureau of Prisons employees were expected to appear in United States District Court in Manhattan.

The charges are the first to arise from a criminal investigation into the death of Mr. Epstein, the disgraced financier who hanged himself at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.

A person briefed on the case had said early on Tuesday that the two federal workers had already been arrested, but others involved in the case said later in the morning that the arrests had not yet been carried out and the two workers would be charged later in the day.

The indictment charged the workers, Tova Noel and Michael Thomas, with making false records and conspiring to defraud the United States. Specifically, the indictment said the two workers failed to make their rounds to check on detainees and instead “sat at their desk, browsed the internet and moved around the common area.” Then they signed documents saying they had looked in inmates when they had not.

“The defendants had a duty to ensure the safety and security of federal inmates in their care at the Metropolitan Correctional Center,” Geoffrey S. Berman, the United States attorney in Manhattan, said in a statement. “Instead, they repeatedly failed to conduct mandated checks on inmates and lied on official forms to hide their dereliction.”

How long before the two arrestees meet with “unfortunate accidents”?

This is the picture of the private Instagram account of a "Tova Noel". Not entirely sure if this is one of the incompetents/corrupted, however, but would not be surprised.

The person who was most surprised about Epstein’s death was Epstein himself.

BREAKING Jeffrey Epstein Suicide: Two Jail Workers Commit Suicide.

Should I post the thread now or do you think it's just a tad bit too early?

As I noted on a thread about this yesterday: “Scapegoats”.

We don’t’ agree on much.
I’ve seen images taken from the CCTV on Epstein island, and read about others, which indicates that sources on the inside shared photos or acted as a moles. There were extensive photography and computer networking systems there to record info for blackmail - said content was confiscated from Epstein’s computer and photographs/videos found in Epstein’s new york mansion. So far I’ve never been impressed with assertions that the public “KNOWS” what the police HAVEN’T done. But that’s me. The pedo abattoir/island brothel is shut down and the denizens are on the run afraid for their lives and their freedom and that’s a good thing. Apparently THEY don’t think “nothing is being done.”

“arrested to night shift jail guards”

“tonight” or “two night”?

Anyone who thinks Epstein killed himself is a moron. Can anyone say Arkanacide?

I saw the DOJ arrest statement or whatever you call it.

https://oig.justice.gov/press/2019/2019-11-19A.pdf

It flat out calls the death a suicide. So the fix is in.

Other than losing their jobs then these guards will face very little in the way of consequences.

As cheap as cameras and recording devices are, every prison should have cameras recording at a minimum:

We should start a betting pool. My guess is about 10 days.

Will these two guards commit suicide while in custody? Just curious.

Probably. then, those guards will be arrested, and they will commit suicide, then.....

Naw, might as well save time. The Clintons are certainly inspirational leaders - people would rather die than testify against them.

Probably already got texted photos of grandma sitting on the balcony of her rest home or the daughter coming out of her school... along with the contact # for an attorney. I’m sure both of the accused have been educated sufficiently to understand that a couple of years in prison and couple of hundred large to start over sure beats the alternative. Heck, that understanding may have been reached a few days before the deed was done.
