Barr can't pass the buck on Epstein
CNN ^ | Aug 13 2019 | Elie Honig

Posted on 08/20/2019 3:27:50 PM PDT by rintintin

When Attorney General William Barr said he was "appalled" and "angry" after Jeffrey Epstein's apparent suicide at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, you'd almost have thought Barr himself bore no responsibility. He spoke of "serious irregularities" and "demanded" an investigation -- as if he were some outside observer incapable of simply ordering an investigation himself.

Listening to him pour fire and brimstone on the rank-and-file who run the jail, you almost have to wonder: Has Barr taken a look at his org chart recently? Because the Metropolitan Correctional Center is part of the Bureau of Prisons, which is part of the Justice Department, which Barr runs.

He is responsible for all of it. This happened in Barr's house. He doesn't get to stand outside, wag his finger, roll the blame downhill and call it a day.

OF COURSE they could still pursue this case with some of the others in the know. But they won't

A judge today ruled that the plaintiffs are prohibited from seeing the list of his pedo recruiters.

Maxwell has been named however. But good luck bringing a Mossad/CIA asset to justice. (tinfoil in place) She's running around posing like Carmen Sandiego, and the Keystone Bureau of Investigation is sitting around with their thumbs up their ass.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons is a separate agency from DOJ. The DOJ (Barr) had no say on how FBOP handles prisoners..

Just saying that CNN’s logic applies just as equally to Obama (actually there’s a lot of evidence that Obama was in the Russia Hoax up to his ears). As they say, “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.”

Those to blame are the loser prison employees and the State of New York.

It’s a federal prison. Barr’s in charge.

And i’m wondering why you are willing to absolve Barr of accountability merely because CNN absolved Holder of accountability. If CNN told you to jump off a bridge, would you? I usually don’t take my inspiration from them, even in order to point out how hypocritical they are.

What strikes me as strange is El Chapo, billionaire drug lord, was held at the same facility, MCC. One could speculate that El Chapo had folks that would have loved “suiciding” him. The MCC seemingly ran as a well oiled machine during El Chapo’s stay there.

El Chapo went as far as praising the guards and the US Marshalls. So in a matter of weeks, MCC was suddenly staffed by F Troop. A guy supposedly not even a security guard was put on the Epstein detail. Overworked ? Not following procedures ? Yeah something stinks here Barr. Just exactly what ? Firing some schleprock ain’t the answer.

I remember reading an opinion by some law enforcement officer, probably retired, who said Epstein was sent to that particular prison on purpose so he would never come out alive.

The Democrats ONLY platform consists of “Beat Trump”.

You mean “Beat ON Trump”.

They have no chance of beating Trump.

They would probably do a better job. They couldn’t do worse.

SMH

It’s VERY demoralizing seeing what I long SUSPECTED unfold in front of my eyes.

There ARE those who are above the law.

That’s not a democracy.

Or maybe i’m being very naive.

Barr could have found one trustable agent (or a few on a rotating basis) to go and be there with Epstein 24/7 until the trial, as witness protection.

So, taking this idiocy to its logical conclusion, they should fire every Federal Prison Warden and have the AG run them all.

Every Federal Prison Employee can report directly to the AG.

That should work out fine and dandy.

Maybe A Barr can juggle running Chainsaws while he plays the Bagpipes too.

I completely agree with your position. Barr is part of the cover up and so is Trump.

That’s an IL-logical conclusion, but whatever.

Funny how they want to hold Barr to a level of responsibility they consistently insisted the Clintons and Obama were not.
