Attorney General William Barr tamps down conspiracy theories, but notes ‘irregularities’ at jail

Full title: Attorney General William Barr tamps down conspiracy theories, but notes ‘irregularities’ at jail where Jeffrey Epstein died

Jeffrey Epstein’s death was ruled a suicide by hanging, and Attorney General William Barr said Wednesday that he has no reason to doubt it — despite “irregularities” at the jail where the accused child sex trafficker died.

The 66-year-old financier’s apparent suicide this month in a jail cell in lower Manhattan sent shockwaves through the political landscape, allowing a wave of conspiracy theories about a possible cover-up to saturate social media.

But Barr, the top law enforcement official in the U.S., pushed back on Wednesday, telling reporters at a roundtable event in Dallas that he has “seen nothing that undercuts the finding of the medical examiner that this was a suicide.”

Asked if the Epstein’s death suggested broader problems with the Bureau of Prisons, Barr said, “I do think that there are some irregularities at the center.”

But he said he has “every confidence” that his new hand-picked director to run the bureau, Kathy Hawk Sawyer, will “be able to address any management or operational deficiencies at the bureau.”

Things probably will change, Grace Slick said only the rocks don’t but even that is wrong. The time frame won’t suit us as “geologic pace” for Justice is no Justice at all. The corollary to Murphy’s Law is that if it can’t work it won’t and the libtards don’t have a single idea that is gonna work but with their control of the media, education, and DC they are going to just “progressively” wreck the country...and that’s a good thing.

"And just what is Barr supposed to do? He got the guards and Warden out of there...started an inquiry....That’s all he could do."

Epstein was providing these girls as a service. anyone who had sex with one of the many underage girls is a child rapist.

Where is the investigation into Epstein's clients and guests? You know that list of people that rode on his plane and stayed on his island. Is Barr trying to say they ALL were just innocently taking plane rides and visiting the island and none of them could have been having sex, ie raping, underage girls?

Barr should resign or the President should fire him. He's worse than Sessions as he is doing nothing but covering for the deep state.

President Trump and Bill Barr need to know, this fake justice dept is not fooling the people with their cover ups. We know there are two sets of laws. One set for those in government and one set for the people. How long do they think the American people are going to put up with this?

Bill Barr has only been on the job a short time, and this stuff is still being investigated ... a lot of us are not ready to give up yet

It’s still early, there’s many angles still being investigated in this complicated mess

It’s not easy being patient! (we’ve been waiting for IG Horowitz’s report for 3 months now ...)

This is a national security nightmare.

And not just for us.

You are 200% correct about why the all but dead Epstein probe was brought back to life by the NY Southern District.To find a connection to Trump.

I’m giving Barr a pass until the people involved with Spygate are investigated and charged. He may be tough on them. He will be seen the same as Jeff Sessions if he protects them.

Ah, not by Barr, or anyone else in the Swamp. It is over. The Deep State owns all the official investigations. It is their job to lie to you. The only remaining interesting question is--how long will it take you to figure it out?

If Barr was serious about criminally charging Spygate participants he would not allow Horowitz to slow walk an administrative report. There is no reason for Horowitz to work bankers hours on this report after delaying it so many times unless it is simply a run out of the clock time wasting operation.

Whitey Bulger’s murder WAS a criminal conspiracy and the same guy who just stepped down was in charge of that prison as well.

The FIB is losing all of their top witnesses to crimes. How ‘bout that?

It was still a “wow” moment to read he was dead

But not as much as it once would have been.

And that’s bad.

Yeah it’s a disgrace for this country and a sad day.

At this point, we DONT expect powerful people to pay for their sins and crimes, even ones against our country.

it can be turned around but that is one of the signs of a civilization on the way down.

OR it has always been that way.

I remember reading that Hearst shot a man and it was covered up. And that was many, many years ago.

It’s so easy to look at all this, #FusionCollusion, Epstein, NXIUM, etc., etc. and shake your head and say, “It just doesn’t make sense!” Unfortunately it makes perfect sense.

Yeah man it’s actually made more and more senses as time goes by and we see what has happened.

We live in a semi illusion of freedom.

I got VERY SICK with Long Term implications because of a contra indicated pair of drugs given to me by a doctor.

The NY Medical Board found he did nothing wrong even though EVERY MEDICAL BOOK ON EARTH says these meds should NEVER be taken together.

I got not a penny and it costs several hundred thousands in lost income recovering and making less now.

But I let go of the hate after several years because it was killing me. And I am much better for it.

But THEN I knew there were two sets of rules and laws in this country.

One for us and one for them

Everyone with a fragment of a brain knows he was murdered and that murder covered up completely.

I think they will say that they won’t do anything, because of the 2020 Election.
