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.

Here’s another way to think about it.

(It’s essentially mathematical reasoning.)

What are the limits of union power?

What are the limits of federal government power?

Subtract the smaller from the larger.

First you start with the countless union bosses who’ve been indicted.

Then you look all the union bosses who went to trial.

Finally, you tally all the union bosses who were convicted and sent to prison.

Fed union >>>>>>> anyone else. Fed unions ARE federal government. This isn’t the AFL/CIO we’re talking about here.

And besides. He wasn’t under suicide watch. Where’s the crime?

Prisoners commit suicide all the time.

Nobody is going to touch a federal union on this one. Nobody.

Pay attention. I’ll ping you (if you’re still around) in the several years it will take for this to be ‘investigated’. We’ll see who is correct.

“First you start with the countless union bosses who’ve been indicted.”

Fed Union, not AFL/CIO, etc.

Show me the list of Fed union bosses who’ve gone to jail.

Waiting.

I think you’re confused about the difference between lawful authority and illicit, essentially street-level, power.

We’ll see what Judicial Watch can come up with - maybe after all this time (and JW is persistent, if nothing else), they’ll be able to get something:

June 25, 2019 (Washington, DC) — Judicial Watch announced today it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the CIA seeking the CIA Inspector General’s November 1996 report related to a drug-running, arms smuggling and intelligence operation involving Mena Intermountain Municipal Airport in Arkansas.

The airfield in Mena was alleged to have been used in the 1980s by the CIA during the Reagan administration to smuggle arms to rebels in Nicaragua. A central figure in the operation was Barry Seal, a pilot and drug smuggler for Pablo Escobar’s Medellin cartel who became an undercover agent and informant for the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).

In November 1996, then-CIA Inspector General Frederick Hitz absolved the CIA of involvement in the operation.

Hitz at the time said that “no evidence has been found to indicate that the CIA or anyone acting on its behalf participated in, or otherwise had knowledge of, any illegal or improper activities in Mena, Arkansas or the area north of Mena known as Nella, Arkansas.”

Judicial Watch sued the CIA in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia after the agency failed to respond to a June 29, 2018, FOIA request (Judicial Watch v. Central Intelligence Agency (No. 1:19-cv-00672)). Judicial Watch seeks:

The CIA Inspector General’s report issued in November 1996 relating to a drug-running, money laundering and intelligence gathering operation involving an airport in Mena, Arkansas.

Judicial Watch chief investigative reporter Micah Morrison has written extensively on the activities surrounding the Mena airport. In an October 18, 1994, editorial feature for The Wall Street Journal titled “The Mena Coverup” Morrison wrote: “What do Bill Clinton and Oliver North have in common, along with the Arkansas State Police and the Central Intelligence Agency? All probably wish they had never heard of Mena.”

Morrison noted that Seal, who by 1984 was a DEA informant, “flew at least one sting operation to Nicaragua for the CIA.” Seal was murdered in 1986 by Colombian hitmen in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

“The CIA has for over 20 years stonewalled the release of information now sought by Judicial Watch on the Mena Airport controversy,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

This is the part of the movie where all evidence and documents are crated up and placed in storage in a government warehouse with a forklift beside the Ark of the Covenant.

I heard on ABC this morning, he had a “roommate.” This is inexplicable for a high profile prisoner who is a suicide risk.

I haven’t tallied the list of all federal union bosses that have gone to prison.

Can’t help but notice your position rests on the untenable premise that federal union bosses are exempt from the law.
