Jeffrey Epstein dead: William Barr ‘appalled’ over pedophile’s apparent suicide, FBI probing
NY Post ^ | August 10, 2019 | Emily Saul

Posted on 08/10/2019 8:16:17 PM PDT by lasereye

US Attorney General William Barr said he’s “appalled” that Jeffrey Epstein was able to kill himself while in federal custody, as the FBI announced Saturday that it would be probing the convicted pedophile’s death.

“Mr. Epstein’s death raises serious questions that must be answered,” Barr said.

“In addition to the FBI’s investigation, I have consulted with the Inspector General who is opening an investigation into the circumstances of Mr. Epstein’s death,” Barr added.

Is Epstein really dead? We know there were powerful people who did not want him to spill the beans.

Is it possible that Epstein is now in witness protection, and the reports of his death are for his protection?

Not really worth spending too much time debating about it. We’ll find out eventually.

Yeah me too.

Ah look at it this way, he DID end the mueller nonsense.

At least we got that.

It seems like no matter who is in charge over there, in the end the DOJ is mainly a tool of the left.

List of appalling things...

Hillary’s private server

Hillary’s eMails

Payments to Hillary’s Foundation

Hillary’s part in transferring uranium rights to Russia

Hillary’s part in the slaughter of our diplomats in Benghazi...

Hillary’s part in developing the Steele Dossier...

The use of the Steele Dossier to obtain warrants...

The reuse of the Steele Dossier two or three additional times to justify further clandestine operations...

The transparent attempt at a coup against the President of the United States

Many players known to have contributed in the effort to pull off that coup..

A coordinated effort by the democRats, the mainstream media, and academia to spread misinformation to our populace...

The incredible lack of anything tangible being done to bring anyone to justice for even one if these things.

Barr, go to hell!

It’s amazing this thread has made it to a second page without an appearance of a Claude Rains/Captain Renault meme in some form/fashion.

JEFFREY EPSTEIN

DEAD BY HANGING IN JAIL ...

Taken Off Suicide Watch

8/10/2019 12:02 PM PT

EXCLUSIVE DETAILS

Getty

12:01 PM PT -- A body believed to be Jeffrey Epstein's was just loaded into a medical examiner's van out of the same hospital he was taken to this morning, and it looks like law enforcement took extra steps to hide the scene this time around.

Mega

You can see several law enforcement officers seemingly load a body into the back of an open van with a raised medical curtain obstructing the view of cameras. This appears to be the same area where a lifeless Epstein was wheeled in early Saturday, after his suicide. Once the body was in the van, they removed the stretcher.

11:28 AM PT -- Law enforcement sources familiar with the matter tell TMZ ... Epstein was taken off suicide watch after he met with medical professionals who evaluated him after his first alleged suicide attempt. We're told Epstein was found to be well enough to be sent back to his cell in the Special Housing Unit without extra eyes on him. So, Epstein was briefly on suicide watch, but at some point between July 23 and today ... he was removed.

10:36 AM PT -- A federal law enforcement source tells TMZ ... Epstein was off suicide watch at the time he hanged himself. The source would not comment on why prison officials would remove Epstein from suicide watch given that they believed he may have attempted suicide days earlier. 9:44 AM PT -- Attorney General William Barr just weighed in on Epstein's suicide, saying, "Mr. Epstein's death raises serious questions that must be answered. In addition to the FBI's investigation, I have consulted with the Inspector General who is opening an investigation into the circumstances of Mr. Epstein's death."

9:19 AM PT -- There are now reports Epstein may not have been under suicide watch.(yeah right,major BS here) Sources familiar with the case say: "that would be a violation of protocol,(of course NYcity would never violate protocol) since anyone suspected of being suicidal is put on suicide watch, and authorities believed the first incident was a suspected suicide attempt. So, if he was on suicide watch, how did this happen, and if he wasn't on suicide watch, why wasn't he?

8:29 AM PT -- Law enforcement sources tell us, the protocol in the Suicide Watch Unit where Epstein was held is for monitors to record the movements of the inmates. So, there should be video showing exactly what happened ...(here we go where the hell is the tape) unless someone erased over it.

And this is especially puzzling -- our law enforcement sources say Epstein's cell was so bright he was complaining he was unable to sleep. Fact is, whatever happened should have happened in plain sight of the guards.(starting to look a bit suspicious now)

The U.S. Dept. of Justice says the FBI is now investigating. 7:42 AM PT -- What's interesting ... the facility had Epstein in the Special Housing Unit Suicide Watch since the first incident. Guards were supposed to "maintain the inmate under direct, continuous observation," 24-hours a day. The lights in the unit are not even turned off, which makes this whole situation odd.(for F____sake yeah I would say its odd!!!)

6:51 AM PT -- Federal law enforcement sources tell TMZ Epstein hanged himself in the facility.

riiiiiigggghhhtttttt!!!

........................................

Sorry I'm not buying it.

I think Epstein is about as dead as Seth Rich or Loretta Fuddy and they are both at a local Tiki Bar in Honolulu having a Margarita as I type.

So we are supposed to buy that Epstein was under Federal control,with bright lights that are never turned off, yet no one was watching him hang himself,which is most likely not the easiest thing to do,especially in his supposed frame of mind.I don't friggin' think so.

Let's see if you are a fan of Billions than you gotta wonder what the DOJ or NY is thinking.Or how bout the communist Mayor of NYC--Herr Blasio who is running for potus.then there is the publicity shy Gov. of NY.We already know Baar is not really happy about this supposed turn of events! Then there is the NYPD that already has a number of officers who viewed the hildabeasts 650K pedo emails and some are DOA. Perhaps less than a dozen viewed the horrific mails and a number are dead already!! They might not be thrilled to know that Epstien hung himself after bussing bubba onmIss Lolita some 27 times over to pedo island.

Lots of people in mind that might not be too thrilled to hear that ol' Jeff who botched his first try was successful on his second try.

Nahhhh.... sorry this entire story does not pass the smell test for me.

Epstein is just too valuable a witness to be allowed to suicide himself. I'm gonna keep looking and find out what really happened.

Doesn’t Barr know that the IG is a joke and the the DoJustUs rejects his calls for referrals?

Agreed. In light of all the documents that have come out, they can now just decline to comment on the matter as it is "part of an ongoing investigation." - not that the Mockingbirds would even ask about epstein's island guests. But there may be a rare journalist who does.

I was thinking of that. Someone may have been bribed. Hypothetically Epstein could have been the who did the bribing - but I don’t believe that.

Don’t trust Barr. He is deep doo doo state.
How in the hell do inept “public servants” get so involved in criminal acts and not be prosecuted?
They work for crooks, become crooks and skate merrily through to a fat retirement.
Honest men and women work in the private sector and will not seek government jobs. President Trump is an example of the honest man mistaking government for business.

And, this is “the best system known to man!” And may all your Christmases be white.

I would really like to trust AG Barr.

But, I can’t. There is no reason to expect that he is above the slime of the swamp. He is a swamp creature.

In a related item, Epstein worked for Barr’s father at an exclusive school in NYC, The Dalton School.
The swamp is, too, in NYC...

And we wonder, “what makes people shoot others in rage?”

Not sure if it is true, but I read yesterday that Barr’s father left the headmaster position and at least four math teachers left at the same time. Some sort of power struggle at a private school — happens constantly.

The new headmaster (or an interim) was desperate for math teachers and hired JE after being told JE was a genius and didn’t need college.

So, there is no conflict if this story is true, and it explains why JE got hired without a degree.
