It appears that Jeffrey Epstein had really good timing when he, according to New York Chief Medical Examiner Barbara Sampson, decided to hang himself in his Manhattan jail cell the morning of August 10th - crushing bones in his neck which can fracture during hangings, but are typically broken during homicide by strangulation.
Not only was his cellmate moved out the day before he died, overworked prison guards reportedly fell asleep - missing their assigned 30-minute checks on the highest profile inmate in the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC). Epstein had recently been taken off suicide watch stemming from mysterious injuries he received weeks earlier. The convicted pedophile said he had been attacked.
He was placed on suicide watch for about a week after that — meaning he was monitored 24-7. He was placed back in the jail’s special housing unit late in the month and, for a time, had a new roommate.
But that person was transferred the day before Epstein’s death, and a new roommate was not assigned — despite the fact that at least eight jail officials knew Epstein was not to be left alone in his cell. -Washington Post
Now, the Washington Post reports that at least one of the cameras in the hallway outside Epstein’s cell had footage that is “unusable,” despite “other, clearer footage” which was captured in the area. v
In short, it looks like we may never know why sources heard “shouting and shrieking” from Epstein’s jail cell the morning he died.
It was not immediately clear why some video footage outside Epstein’s cell is too flawed for investigators to use or what is visible in the usable footage. The incident is being investigated by the FBI and the Justice Department’s inspector general’s office, which are attempting to determine what happened and how to assess whether any policies were violated or crimes committed.
The footage is considered critical to those inquiries, and the revelation of an unusable recording is yet another of the apparent failures inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center, the short-staffed Bureau of Prisons facility in downtown Manhattan that held Epstein. -Washington Post
Epstein was arrested on July 6 on charges of sex-trafficking minors in Florida and New York. Despite pleading with the judge for pretrial release, the pedophile financier was ordered held without bond.
On August 10, the 66-year-old was found hanging by in his cell by bedsheets. He was rushed to the hospital and later pronounced dead.
And while prosecutors have filed to drop charges against Epstein, their investigation into his potential co-conspirators has continued. On Tuesday, a federal judge will hold a hearing to determine how to proceed - and will allow Epstein’s accusers to speak in court.
Lawyers for Epstein and his family have questioned the official suicide ruling, as well as the thoroughness of the investigation into his death.
“The defense team fully intends to conduct its own independent and complete investigation into the circumstances and cause of Mr. Epstein’s death including if necessary legal action to view the pivotal videos — if they exist as they should — of the area proximate to Mr. Epstein’s cell during the time period leading to his death,” said lawyers in an August 16 filing. “We are not satisfied with the conclusions of the medical examiner.”
Attorney General William Barr, meanwhile, described “serious irregularities” at the MCC, and announced an investigation into what happened.
“I was appalled to learn that Jeffrey Epstein was found dead early this morning from an apparent suicide while in federal custody. Mr. Epstein’s death raises serious questions that must be answered,” said Barr, adding. “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.”

Prison Guards are very susceptible to bribery and threats….This has Clinton Deep State written all over it….
Sure thing Rue-ski…. sure thing.
But hey: Great work, now you can go collect your daily vodka allowance: you’ve done your part to destroy America!
Whether it was the Clinton crime machine from the Mena Airport in Arkansas, or Epstein actually bumbling a clean suicide, you are the only Rue-ski on this board and that is the SURE THING.
WHY WAS THERE NOT A FUNERAL FOR EPSTEIN BY FAMILY MEMBERS, WHY NO DEAD BODY TO BURY
How much do you know about suicide? Were you ever a correctional officer (they aren’t guards)? No matter how many facts roll in, none of them support a Clinton conspiracy.
Fact, Epstein was admitted into Suicide Watch AFTER he was supposedly attacked. At least at that time he had bruises on his throat.
Fact, Suicide Watches are not indefinite. A week is actually a long time to be under suicide watch.
Fact, inmates get transferred all the time for various reasons. The fact that his roommate was transferred was just part of business.
Fact, a person wishing to commit suicide isn’t going to do it with the world watching on. He’ll wait until eyes are off him, unless he’s just trying to gain attention. I think we can agree Epstein wasn’t trying to gain attention, but was looking for that one chance when he could successfully kill himself.
I believe that Epstein was threatened and possibly already beaten and knew that his life in prison would only be a chain of these kinds of abuses and decided to take his life himself. This is coming from a retired correctional officer who has sat duty on suicide watch, something each of us takes very serious, and was instrumental in making sure one man did not succeed in his attempt. I am no big fan of the Clintons, but I am sick of people hanging this on them when they don’t even know what they’re talking about. Most COs take their job very seriously. You have a few slackers, but when something goes down, everyone responds. If it’s during the day even secretaries and accountants respond, because that’s how we were trained. So stop with the sniveling already.
Why did he tell his lawyer, ok, see you on Sunday? All your lined up facts lead to a whole lot of coincidence!
Yeah, you tell us wagon wheel…you been through the manure.
Well said and explained. As a retired Correctional staff member you are spot on.
total bs
It seems strange that the correctional officers whom you praise so highly found they had more important sleep requirements the night Epstein supposedly took his own life. It is also strange that the video cameras near his cell malfunctioned during this time, And I assume nobody was monitoring this system. Then the fact that his cell mate was moved to another cell leaving Epstein alone, which would make it more important that the guards should be on high alert. Plus the stories that other prisoners heard strange noises coming from his cell. That should have alerted. Someone. This could not make a better Murder mystery if it had been scripted by Agatha Christy.
Right on! Billy Boy will escape conviction once again! This whole thing sound fishy! Must be a bunch of 3rd graders running the prison. The DOJ & FBI investigating them self? GREAT!!! DOJ & FBI will never be trusted again!! Amen!
a couple of things going wrong could just be coincidence , coupled with incompetence but when you have a whole litany of things going wrong, that tends to make coincidence extremely unlikely, and points in the direction that this was engineered….who knows by whom…but there’s lots and lots of secrets and lots of money involved and eventually somebody is going to either talk, or the body count will keep growing…..and if that happens we WILL KNOW.
Go get em Mr. Barr……looks like the TRUTH is finally going to surface on a number of areas…..
None of which we will see until the real president is elected in 2020
Agree that AG Barr will hold them all accountable. With the technology today, the camera non-functioning is a scam and no excuse. Heads should roll.
If you “play you pay” and the Democrats behavior is outrageous. I hope they will pay at the voting booth. The Clinton campaign financed the entire effort to take down Trump and the BO Administration knew the entire plan which includes “Joe the Gaffster.” Adios JB.
When Bill Barr refused to indict Comey it was if he began blowing his bag pipes again, but this time the wind he was blowing was absolute bull towards the public. Now Epstein committed suicide before he can point the finger at Bill. Do not worry the FBI the same guys that investigated Clinton and found no crimes are in this one too. The same guys who leak information to the propaganda media and press during the failed coup. Now wait the trustworthy DOF each director can not indict anyone tied the the coup especially if their tied to Obama are on the case took. When you have a criminalized Obama former goons agencies on the case and their over watched by communist members of Congress you know your in deep shit. However no need to worry the democrats who ignore this chess pool of corruption in out federal agencies and ignore it while trying to frame Trump have bigger plans. We are all to turn over Guns to the authorizes and the democratic communist party, that is flooding America with undocumented aliens for voters will protect us from the bad guys. Wait? Who will protect us from a communist congress that wants to destroy the very same republic they swore to protect? Who will protect us from federal agency members that can commit felonies and walk away laughing? Too many people who are threats to the deep state politicians have accidents, commit suicide, or get killed in a robbery. Usually jump off roofs, or like the most recent FBI rank and file hero investigating the Clinton foundation decided to blew his brains out on a public dance floor. Yup, I do not know about you, but after eight years of sneaky lying Obama I trust few in the federal government associated to the prince of Global Socialism.
Well, donald “the duck” dump doges yet another exposure of his criminal past. He believes his rue-ski friends will protect his presidency. And right now, they are.
However, you know; “what comes around goes around.”
Maybe “when you sleep with snakes you are soon to be bit” would be a better way to put it.
When they are done with you mr dump, you can now see what fate awaits you too.
Oh, this is a website for the bigots, racists, haters and traitors? I didn’t know that.
Sorry, just put “yur” heads back up your brother’s butt and eat hearty, forget I said anything.
Appears to be only one true bigot here and that
Is Dr. GMO. When you look in the mirror you
need to look no further doc. Your reflections are of the true hater and bigot you are. You lefties always try to turn your filth on the innocent folks of the USA.
Agree 100% and well stated
GMO means Get More Oxygen.
Which Russian friends? I read the Mueller report. Looks like Trump has no Russian friends. Hillary, however, profited from selling OUR uranium to Russia AFTER a multi million dollar ‘contribution’ (bribe) to her slush fund, The Clinton Foundation. Why would any normal person sell fissionable uranium to a country we have under sanctions? It reminds me of FDR allowing Chrysler to sell engine parts to Nazi Getmany for their tanks during WWII. You are blind. Get thee to an eye doctor you poor blind bastard!
It’s sad the left has decided to be so childish this election term. They so desperately want to change the country, and simply can’t believe their theology isn’t embraced by everyone.
The potential candidates scream every day — out on the election stumps, how “the people” want this and that.
It is the epidemy of arrogance to think everyone agrees with you simply because your beliefs are so fervent.
If the Leftists were “right”, Trump would most definitely would not have been elected!
The left would surely be better off not wasting their time and money, and try to elect someone after Trump is out of office.
The mere fact of Trump’s election should signal to the left that they are not in the majority, but they just keep insisting some of their typical followers have been ‘misled’, and will come back if they just keep screaming, and spewing their fake news and disgusting rhetoric . . .
Conservatives had to “put up with” Obama and all his subversive and destructive policies. He will be remembered as the worst president in the history of our nation.
Conservatives had to wait him out, yet remained ‘polite’ for the most part; Leftists should do the same.
Great post Gerry….
Deep State strikes, yet, again!
1.Suicide watch canceled
2.Cellmate removed just in time.
3.No 30 Minute Check
4.Camera not working
5.Guards Asleep
6.Paper sheet used for noose.
7.Screaming and shrieking from his cell
8.Falsifying log records
Don’t forget 1 very important pc of the puzzle. That Barr went and visited Epstein. So what was the the reason for that visit. Maybe that’s why the cameras were not working. Sounds about right me to me. So why is he doing the investigating when he should be investigated. He was the last person to see him.
Where do you get your news?
The N.Y. Post article has been proven Fictitious/false.
Sadly, Vince Foster is not around to explain how a murder can be made to look like a suicide.
The convenient “coincidences” just continue to multiply about this so-called “suicide.” How MANY does it take before somebody calls BS and challenges that hasty and STUPID verdict?
I like a good conspiracy as anyone. I do hope we get to the bottom of this barrel. Hard-working tax-payers deserve to know who is representing their interests in government; and government should be transparent. We really don’t need more pervs in charge . . .
There are a lot of inconsistencies in this ‘matter’. We all know the CIA, FBI and even the Secret Service have the capabilities to pull off a hoax like the possibility Epstein really isn’t dead (yet).
No funeral or cremation may mean something; or the family is having him stuffed, and he’s not presentable yet . . .
There are a lot of high-powered men on Epstein’s list. I am convinced a lot of them are elected, and or ‘permanent fixtures’ in government. Add to that theory are all the powerful foreign men . . .
The Clinton cabal is most definitely still in operation, as proven by all the Russiagate crap . . .
Obama was an Epstein pal, but we never see anything about that in the nightly news (he also adored Lewis Farrakhan too). All the despicable things the Obama administration did for 8 years is enough to write a library full of conspiracies . . .
So, yes, I think there’s something “hinky” going on here too.
Funny, coming from the Clinton mafia supporters. Haters? Let’s see. People who yelled impeachment two seconds after Trump was announced president. Antifa running wild in the streets. Rioters during the Obama administration, flipping cars, burning cars braking into stores looting , setting them on fire, killing cops, attacking people that disagree with their stupid antics. Protesting every and anything, blocking traffic. Ignorant Democrat disciples not smart enough to research for themselves. Accepting all CNN sells being 100 percent liberal. Protesters wearing vaginas on their heads in public around children. Hollywood being vulgar at all times. Madonna promising BJ’s to any man voting for Hillary. Ashley Judd and her vulgar speech against Trump in a public setting. Madonna thinking about blowing up the white house Mad Maxine telling liberals to get into the faces of conservatives. AOC stirring up strife, crying at an empty parking lot. Democrats blaming Trump for Obama’s handling of detainees at the border. Liberals blocking Mayfair from delivering beds, just to keep the fires burning, blaming Trump. Liberals refusing to watch Bill Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama’s speech on tougher border control saying the same as Trump. If they don’t watch it, it never happened. TRUMP saying in closed quaters between himself and another man, being rich I can grab them by the pussy and they don’t care. Then Joy Bahr repeating it in open public talking about it being disgusting, yet she was caught on film grabbing Robin Williams by his penis. Hypocrite much? I could go on and on, but something tells me you would rather stay ignorant to peddle the real hate.
Anyone with at least one active brain cell knows that man did not commit suicide, those videos didn’t just happen to go down, the audio as well. Those guards didn’t just happen to be asleep (both of them) and they didn’t just ‘happen’ to move his room mate. Come on, facts are not conspiracy, that man was murdered.
Interesting, Epstein had been on suicide watch, had complained about being beaten, was a critical potential witness against powerful people, and the staff heard “shouting and shrieking” on the morning of his death… and nobody checked on him.
There sure seems to be a lot of bad things that happen to people who could testify against the Clintons.
Oh so decieved David the pervert was murdered.just jfk lone gunman you people swig the vomit coming from the gov
It’s easy to hide the evidence of a murder when you want to call it suicide. Even his Last will that he supposedly did two days before is in question. You can’t trust any of these demoncrats anymore. We all suspect the coverup is to protect people higher up.
I’m not at alla conspiracy theory person, but there are way to many “concidents” for me to be comfortable with suicide. In addition to all the other “facts” that are given to us poor unwashed masses, I’ll add another; why did the Coronor postpone publication of “cause of death” for a couple of days? I’ve assisted at several autopsies and the cause of death was always give right after the deceased was sown back together. The only thing that was delayed was blood work, i.e. looking for drugs/alcohol or other anomalies that may have been causative in the death, so if the coronor delayed waiting on lab tests, what were they looking for? The x-rays are taken while on the table and read within a couple of hours or less, so they knew of the fractured cervical vertbrae and the hyoid bone fracture(very unusual in a hanging), so why all the delay? Just soem questions that I have. I wouldn’t put it past some high level past/present figures to pull this off, but as with most conspiracy theories there would be so many people involved that it would be hard to keep it a secret It will be interesting to see what happens to the CO’s that were on duty, just sayin’.
The Clinton toadies made sure the video would be ‘ unusable ‘.
He was murdered by one or more of sicko friends. I do not think we will ever find out the truth, just like we never knew the truth regarding Vincent Foster which certainly was no suicide.
