‘Heads must roll’: Outrage at how high-security jail could let Jeffrey Epstein die

Millionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein died in an apparent suicide while in federal custody in Manhattan early Saturday, a stunning end that both infuriated and baffled his victims, and the federal officials responsible for his safety.

“I was appalled to learn that Jeffrey ­Epstein was found dead early this morning from an apparent suicide while in federal custody,” Barr said in a statement.

“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,” Barr said.

Epstein had inexplicably been taken off suicide watch despite an incident three weeks ago when he was found sprawled on the floor of his cell, nearly unconscious, and with injuries to his neck.

He was being housed in the jail’s high-security Special Housing Unit, in which high-profile or dangerous detainees are kept separate from the general population.

Until recently, the jail had housed Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán, who is now at a supermax prison in Colorado.

At MCC, prisoners on suicide watch get checked every 15 minutes.

“Heads must roll,” Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse, a Republican member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, wrote to Barr in a scathing letter Saturday.

“Every single person in the Justice Department — from your Main Justice headquarters staff all the way to the night-shift jailer — knew that this man was a suicide risk, and that his dark secrets couldn’t be allowed to die with him,” Sasse wrote.

There’s no question Epstein should have been under continual watch, said Cameron Lindsay, a former warden who ran three federal jails and who called the death a “shocking failure.”

“Unequivocally, he should have been on active suicide watch and therefore under direct and constant supervision,” Lindsay said.

“It’s embarrassing,” one federal law-enforcement source told The Post of Epstein.

“This is the highest-profile inmate in that facility, and considering that he may have attempted suicide two weeks ago — how could they let this happen?”

A guard and a supervisor will probably be fired and then retire to their new mansions in Costa Rica.

Where they will die in a hit-and-run car accident, street robbery where nothing is taken and/or a suicide.

Epstein was probably going to divulge more names eventually. In the past, he did not say anything because he had a sweetheart deal.

Ok so the Mob did it “for the Clintons”.

Why?

What possible reason could any organized crime group have for doing such a favor for a washed up politician and a sick old drunk?

The guard and the supervisor will be dead long before they get to Costa Rica.

First they kill the witness. Then they kill the killers. No loose ends doncha know.

If you want to know who was involved in the Epstein hit, just wait to see who dies by suicide, car accident or “random” act of violence.

Expect at least one guard to experience an unexpected demise in the next week.

First rule of a political assassination - assassinate the assassin.

On the one hand, good riddance to bad rubbish.

On the other, this was either murder or at best gross negligence. Today Epstein, tomorrow one of us?

The clinton mob may even take out a jet.

The clinton mob may even take out a fully loaded commercial passenger jet, just to blur the focus.

Mistakes were made.

*************

That’s what it boils down to. Funny how malfeasance, corruption, criminality, and abuses of power can all be distilled into one word: “mistakes”.

The elites clearly have their playbook for dealing with scandals. And it works for them.

And certainly before any “investigation” is completed.

The day after his arrest, the bodies of the four missing men were found buried on property that Tartaglione had rented in Otisville, Orange County.

So...this Tartaglione ain’t real bright...

fair question

Based upon the sum total of the thousands of articles and news reports on the Clintons activities since they arrived on the scene decades ago I believe that the MOB long ago took over the “Clinton money machine” involving ILLEGAL money perhaps into the billions.

This is the only plausible explanation out there for all the deaths of Clinton associates. Meaning, whenever anyone threatens the continuing existence of the Clinton money machine, the mob kills them.

This is similar reporting like when Weinsteen was caught...our press today loves all such scandals as does the public. So the feeding frenzy will continue for a few weeks .

The game now for the guilty elites is stalling until the public grows tired of it.....the media will milk this until it's dry for viewers....while they hide all the evidence of their participation..

Been there—done that, April 3, 1996!

Drudge's headline has been changed to "Who Done It?"

This was no suicide. Someone killed this creep to keep his mouth forever shut.

People with real power and position can get anything done they want without suffering the consequences of their actions.

Next, we'll be told that critical documents relating to the case have been lost, stolen or misplaced.

Someone is covering their butt and getting rid of all incriminating evidence.
