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.

I don’t suppose we can expect AOC to make the connection that the same people who she wants to give the power to micromanage our lives are the ones who couldn’t prevent the suicide/murder of a single man in a single cell in a highly secured federal prison.

But there is a huge difference between us everyday Americans and those inside the beltway...

Really? We’re the ones who elect the miscreants and liars, send them to Washington, and allow them to let the DC bureaucracies run wild. There is no accountability in Washington because we don’t hold our elected officials accountable.

Then it will be reflected in how they “investigate”. I rather incline to believe he was silenced. But that’s reflexive on account of who he is and how he died, and the word “Clinton”. But the evidence has to be there, and how the professionals investigate will be the proof of the pudding.

Ok. But similar outcomes to those who could embarrass the crown.

The blast radius of the Epstein mess leaves SANDY CORTEZ untouched and at the head of the line of power. Think about it.

She did have a meeting with Pelosi. I guess they’re on the same page now.

Is anyone else in Congress saying anything like this?

You mean the ones who went to Epstein's pedo-island? That Congress?
