Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was not on suicide watch in the Manhattan jail where he hanged himself Saturday morning, officials said.

Plourde refused to say whether that meant Epstein had been taken off additional monitoring or whether he had never been getting special attention to make sure he did not kill himself.

I’m not so sure he’s dead.

This is a guy being held in NYC, where he likely setup relationships with judicial officials. Likely even a warden.

And he owns islands.

I’m still not sold.

Pedophiles facing federal criminal charges are at high risk for suicide. It happened in several of my Maryland cases when defendants were released on bail. Detained pedophiles require special attention. Stopping people from harming themselves is difficult. https://www.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/73_2_5_0.pdf

Find me a list of fed union bosses who have gone to prison and I’ll admit my position is untenable.

Waiting...

Much less gone to prison for something like this ‘suicide’. Dude wasn’t on suicide watch...prisoners commit suicide, for real. What, exactly, would you charge the LEO’s in that facility with were you in charge...?

Rotten Rod’s sudden appearance on twitter is just bizarre. I wonder if he is hoping to cash in on the corporate payola speaking circuit?

The corruption in those places goes top to bottom and bottom to top.

The equation is extremely simple: corruption is inversely proportional to enforcement of the law.

in case randy Bill had second thoughts about their, “Eight With Bill, then Eight With Hillary”-arrangement.


What does the word “randy” mean in this context? I’m new to English.

“The equation is extremely simple: corruption is inversely proportional to enforcement of the law.”

Which is why expecting any agency to investigate their malfeasance is ludicrous.

Any why most of us don’t expect anything at all from this ‘investigation’...

(other than wasted tax dollars and time)

Whoever took Epstein off of suicide watch has a nice, big cash deposit coming.

Remove him from suicide watch...then murder him.

Or just remove him from suicide watch ... then let him kill himself.

If he really had attempted suicide earlier then taking him off suicide watch might have been enough.

So why, exactly, does Rosenstein decide to insert himself into this story?

Reading rumor that camera malfunctioned, but am assuming that’s a joke. Well, am assuming it for the time being.

Reuters reported normal protocol of checking inmate every 30 minutes wasn’t followed last night.

But the only way your assertions can have meaning is if President Trump isn’t serious about Draining the Swamp.

Even Trump can’t trump the fed unions.

Last one who tried and succeeded was Reagan (air traffic controllers). They’re WAY stronger now.

The power of the unions has its limits.

And it’s far below the power of the Chief Executive and the CIC.

This was predicted on FR from the start. Now the cover-up.
