Sasse tells AG that 'heads must roll' over Epstein treatment in federal custody
The Hill ^ | Aug 10 2019 | Rachel Frazin

Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) on Saturday wrote a letter to Attorney General William Barr that "heads must roll" regarding Jeffrey Epstein's apparent suicide after his body was found and it was reported that he had been take off suicide watch.

"The Department of Justice failed, and today Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirators think they might have just gotten one last sweetheart deal,” Sasse, who chairs the the Senate Judiciary oversight subcommittee, wrote in the letter.

“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," he added.

Prediction: Nobody will be held accountable. Feds don’t roll that way

Remember 911? We were asleep at the switch. Was anybody fired? Federal job security is awesome

When Epstein was found, the first things that should have been done were to lock down the prison building, take every one of those in the building into custody for interrogation and polygraphing, seize all communication devices and records and surveillance videos. Of course, this was not done because....well, you know.

There is no shortage of Senate heads that should be rolled.

The warden (Shirley Skipper-Scott) and the psychologist who certified that he wasn't a suicide risk.

Deep State wins again. At this point I don’t see a lot of difference between Sessions and Barr. Two tier justice in the USA, laws are for little people, not high profile elites.

Does anyone thank that the guards, or anyone else, involved in this will live more than one or two more years?

History says but they will be part of History without law enforcement racing. Finger

A warden named Shirley. OK.

I wish Epstein had had a dead man’s switch so that if he croaked, all of his video tapes would be released on the Internet.

The warden (Shirley Skipper-Scott)

Are you kidding me? Mrs. Skipper-Scott skipped work that day?

Who told her to have him taken off suicide watch?

What has this clown done since he’s been in office? Not a damn thing as far as I can see.

He criticizes Trump more than he did obama.

This pos can rot. These little stunts bring him attention but I don’t believe it is the kind that will do him good. If he’s ever on a national ticket, there is absolutely no way I would vote for this do-nothing pos.

According to the NY Times, Epstein's two business attorneys have both hired criminal defense attorneys themselves.

Another source -- a lawyer -- reports that any evidence produced by the FBI raids on Epstein's homes will be easier to introduce as evidence now since Epstein can't object.
