BREAKING Jeffrey Epstein Suicide: Two Jail Workers Arrested

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.”

I suspect these are the two who were “slipped in” in place of the two regular guards, who apparently went fishing.
Look for a $$ connection between the Clinton Foundation, and the relatives of these two “public servants”.
They were on “overtime” due to short staffing, bull$hit.

If we had an honest government, Epstein would have been immediately placed in the Witness Protection Program.

"Will anybody be watching them when they go to prison?"

They'll probably just lose their job and pay a fine. Don't you think...?

They’ll commit suicide by hanging themselves with a brand new full sheet, 2 feet off the ground.

Any chance these two patsies will start to sing? We need a few canaries on the Epstein case.
