Attorney General Barr ‘appalled’ by Epstein’s suicide, says inspector general and FBI investigating
CNBC ^ | Aug 10 2019 | Emma Newburger

Attorney General Bill Barr said Saturday that he is “appalled” by Jeffrey Epstein’s death, and has consulted with the Inspector General about an investigation after Epstein hanged himself and was found in his jail cell early on Saturday.

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

“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.”

The U.S. Bureau of Prisons confirmed in a statement Saturday that the FBI would investigate the suicide of the financier, who is accused of sexually abusing and trafficking underage girls. There is nothing at this point to suggest foul play, a senior law enforcement official said.

Our paranoid lunacy appears justified.

How many predictions that this would happen have been made here?

If he was let out on bail, and subsequently run over by a speeding Cadillac SUV it would be called a freak accident.

Well I guess that I was wrong. I was under the impression that Barr was a pretty smart guy.

This is the acid test of Barr (not so much him, but of his ability to swim the fetid swamp).

If nothing comes from this, we may as well give up hope.

Oh well, following CW-II, we can take care of the Clintons.

Well, what else can Barr say?

Our government is completely corrupt and Trump doesn’t have a prayer of straightening it out.

Guess how the coming election will turn out.

Let me guess, they will appoint a special commission composed of Richard Ben-Veniste, Jamie Gorelick, Fred Fielding, Daniel Marcus and Philip Zelikow.

Curiously, George Mitchell was one of the original 9/11 commission appointees but dropped out to be replaced by Lee Hamilton.

Epstein was a spy.
There are some professions that are guaranteed death. A spy who creates and collates blackmail-ready data packages for the international state cabals to use, is a guarateed death sentence career path.
..high paying, guaranteed bad ending.

He had to go. Too many secrets.
The saudis whacked kashigi. He was a state paid spy. Not really a journalist. High stakes work will get a person whacked.

We all KNEW eppy was toast.
Who buttered his bread??? Professional alphabet players no doubt.

Given that he was already on suicide watch, it is rather surprising.

In true Clintonianspeak, "Suicide Watch" is litterally what happened: folks were designated to watch the suicide, and they apparently did watch.

And Mary Mapes will do the documentation of the investigation which will be reported by Dan Rather.

Under the nose of the Trump Administration. Trump has full control over the bread and butter. Trump is either incompetent or in on this. Either way the buck stops at his feet (Unless this is a ruse and Indicments start to flow from Trump’s raptors ) and Epstein is under witness protection. Highly doubt that, but if not, again, Trump is at fault for failing as Chief Executive Officer.

So Clinton has more power and control over Trump right now? When people post “Clintons did this” all that you are saying is that Trump is incompetent to oversee the Executive Branch. Either way, Clintons are making fools out of you all.
