Ocasio-Cortez: “We Need Answers” Over Epstein’s Suicide — “Lots Of Them”
Hot Air ^ | August 10,2019 | ED MORRISSEY

Posted on 08/10/2019 2:01:35 PM PDT by Hojczyk

For perhaps the first time this year, I find myself in full agreement with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The circumstances of Jeffrey Epstein’s apparent suicide seem very strange indeed, so much so that it raises all sorts of questions as to what happened, how, and especially why:

Ocasio-Cortez is hardly the only person demanding answers either, as Epstein’s victims have been robbed of their opportunity for justice. Epstein wasn’t just some minor figure sitting in a local lockup who had never sent out any signals of potential self- (or other-directed-) harm. “He was probably the most high-profile inmate” in federal custody in that facility, CNN’s Shimon Prokupecz reminded viewers, one who had apparently attempted suicide once before. Why wasn’t Epstein under 24-hour watch? Paul Callan wonders the same thing:

“It raises a lot of questions in a lot of people’s minds,” CNN’s anchor comments at the end. Indeed it does. This is precisely what “suicide watch” is intended to prevent. Epstein’s victims deserved their day in court against the predator who exploited him, and also their day in court against anyone else who joined in that exploitation. If NBC’s correct, then someone needs to explain why the suicide watch was cancelled on Epstein — including who ordered it and why.

Sure, the FBI will be all over this.
Strzok is suing for his job back so maybe they will put him on it.

I’m sure Pelosi and Nadler will get right on this.

> Except for AOC, I’ve only heard crickets from Congress today.<

Epstein’s “suicide” should be a national outrage. But nobody’s saying much. It kinda makes you wonder if the senior members of Congress already know exactly what happened. But no one bothered to tell AOC.

Maybe later on today AOC will get a visit from a couple of somber men in dark suits. Then she’ll forget all about Epstein, and go back to worrying about Global Warming.

Won’t AOC be shocked to learn hits are a way of life in her party.

She’s obviously naive.

She’ll be getting one of those Dianne Feinstein hallway wall pins soon.

It seems that the dimwit does not realize where an in-depth investigation could lead.

It isn’t primarily GOP donors and politicians who will be outed.

She hasn’t gotten any face time lately. She needs some limelight.
