AG Barr Says Epstein Case Will Continue, Says ‘Co-conspirators Should Not Rest Easy’
epoch times ^ | 8/12/2019 | Jeff Carlson

Attorney General William Barr said on Monday during a police conference in New Orleans that there were “serious irregularities” at the Manhattan federal facility where the accused sex trafficker apparently killed himself over the weekend.

Barr, who said he was “appalled” by Epstein’s death, said the case would continue and noted that “any co-conspirators should not rest easy.”

“This sex-trafficking case was very important to the Department of Justice and to me personally, Barr said. It was important to the dedicated prosecutors in the Southern District of New York and to our FBI agents who investigated the case and were preparing it for trial. Most importantly, this case was important to the victims who had the courage to come forward and deserve the opportunity to confront the accused in the courtroom.”

“I was appalled, and indeed the whole Department was, and frankly angry to learn of the MCC’s failure to adequately secure this prisoner. We are now learning of serious irregularities at this facility that are deeply concerning and demand a thorough investigation,” he added.

Barr said that the Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General is investigating the irregularities, saying, “We’ll get to the bottom of what happened and there will be accountability.”

“Let me assure you that this case will continue on against anyone who was complicit with Epstein,” Barr said. “Any co-conspirators should not rest easy. The victims deserve justice and they will get it.”

According to ABC News, relying on an anonymous source, Barr has instructed FBI Deputy Director David Bowdich to brief Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen “every three hours” on the FBI’s investigation into the cause of Epstein’s death and “numerous agents were assigned to both the FBI and OIG [Office of Inspector General] investigations over the weekend.”

They've got to have video and surveillance coverage of every square inch of that facility. A door opens, the time is logged so it can be correlated with video.

Every card swipe, every computer log-in, every keystroke on the computer.

All stored and backed up ad nauseum.

Someone made the decision to keep him there, instead of any one of dozens of more secure facilities, up to and including Florence ADX.

There were meetings at which these things were decided, and records of those meetings.

Come on. Epstein was the most valuable prisoner in the entire BOP.

Bill is angry....
Should he spit?
He would feel much better if he did.
No one wants our AG feeling out of sorts.

Just like James Comey, Hillary, Bill, and the victims of the Boston Marathon bombers and the San Bernadino Moose-limb shootings, eh?

He was also shocked -- shocked! -- to find that gambling was going on in Las Vegas.

Yeah, all the co-conspirators should really be pretty intimidated at the level of competency the DoJ has displayed in the last few days, as well as in the last few decades this crime has been going on.

...any co-conspirators should not rest easy.

Bill and Hill may have wasted a hit.

The co- conspirators won’t rest easy. Not because of the law but because of Arkancide.
