Here are a few things I know firsthand about being in jail. First and foremost, you have virtually no control over your life and surroundings. You can’t get so much as an aspirin without authorization. In most jails, you can’t wear a belt, or shoelaces, or keep a razor in your cell. You have no privacy, no sense of dignity, and no rights. And in a well-run jail, high-profile prisoners have virtually no chance of killing themselves.
So the alleged suicide of Jeffrey Epstein, the 66-year-old financier with powerful American and foreign friends who was about to stand trial for allegedly sexually abusing dozens of girls, many of them underage,

The author can’t resist the opportunity to list the President as one of Epstein’s friends even though she must know he banned Epstein from Mar a Lago for sexually harassing an underage girl there. No bias there, eh, Judy?

Let's not forget that Trump was in charge when the Monster met his fate.

Shut up, Judith. You'll never fully get it; getting locked up by leftists didn't cure you at all. No sir, it didn't.

Miller, in regards to your snarky reference to President Trump, so it sounds like you had voted for Obie and Billary, right?

Judith Miller; Judith Miller? Where have I heard the name. Oh now I remember. The good old WMD article of yore. Makes me wonder if poster #2 is part of Judith Miller's entourage of forgetfulness. (In charge of what, one asks?)

Judy is just doing her duty to follow the Dim talking points. Nothing yet about who the warden is of the prison and where is an official statement from her?

Well, at least she mentioned Clinton, too. It’s not worth getting so bent out of shape because she mentioned Trump as a friend of Epstein. Actually, he is a former friend. She doesn’t blame Trump (or Barr) for what happened at the MCC.

In my mind, the FBI has one last chance to redeem itself as a non-participant in the Deep State. This "suicide" was too well organized and had the cooperation of too many people to have been the real thing. The Clintons always gloated and teased after their past evil behavior, just like they did at Epstein's death.

Sorry Judy - you are no expert on being held in a federal prison facility. Apparently Epstein was removed from suicide watch by the facility's psychologist and returned to the Special Housing Unit aka the jail within a jail. He had clothing on so cold have strangled himself that way. At least when I worked for the BOP in the 1990s, cells did not have cameras ion them so I can't comment on why the camera wasn't working. Well, Jim McDougal of Whitewater and CLinton infamy - also dies in federal prison - heart attack if I recall.

My gut tells me someone affiliated with American "royalty" (like Their Majesties Bill and Hillary Clinton or His Royal Highness Bill Richardson) or British Royalty (Prince Andrew) got to Epstein at the behest of one or more of them.
Common sense would say, "There is an extremely high-profile case related to Epstein. As an institution, our jail is NOT going to let anything happen to this guy. We are going to do things by the book. Too much is a stake." But that is not what happened.
If this place was such a crap hole, why wasn't Epstein put elsewhere? In other words, if it wasn't a secure place, then why wasn't another Federal prison chosen?
The rich and powerful -- I am NOT talking Mr. Trump -- had this guy taken out. Too much was at stake to let him talk. That is why his previous conviction (trafficking in prostitution or something like that) was plea-bargained so low. If they had been serious about sex trafficking with minors across state and national boundaries, too many high-profile men (and their office-seeking wives) would have come to light.
This whole thing stinks on more levels than any human can count.

I wouldn't rule out one of the lawyers providing him with something that was capable of bearing his weight. Also his hanging would have been more like a strangulation rather than a snapped neck, which could have been the reason for CPR by the medics.

Comey´s daughter brings Epstein to jail. Media tries to link him to Donald the Great. They cannot, so they take out Secretary of Labor Acosta. Clinton 27 times in the Lolita express yet skates free. This is out of The Godfather. Like the black man from the hilarious Twitter forwarded by Trump yesterday said: I don’t want to know nuffin about the Clintons, I want to live.
There is no Federal Justice system functioning in the post-Obama USA. The corrupt FBI cannot be trusted with any investigation. Julian Assange has lots of information about the Clinton emails and Seth Rich. He will last a few days once the FBI/DOJ extradites him.

Judith Miller is 110% anti-Trump. It won’t be long before Miller and others cast fraudulent blame on President Trump and the Trump Administration for causing Jeffery Epstein’s demise.

I don't care how poorly run the jail is. It doesn't make sense that such a high profile criminal would not be watched more closely. Someone was told to look the other way - or else.

Epstein very patiently plucked his nose and ear hairs - - and slowly-but-systematically fashioned them into a rope - - a rope strong enough to bear his weight.
He then fastened it to the ceiling - - using certain body fluids - - and committed suicide when the guards were goldbricking. In the end - - there's a very simple explanation for just about everything.

I can't get the NYPost comment; a gurney was seen removing "a man who appeared" to be Epstein.
1. A corpse would have been completely covered up with no face showing.
2. Who was close enough to have seen this loaded gurney except the guards and maybe a coroner. I don't know the exact protocol.
3. Where could that gurney have gone besides the morgue.
4. His cellmate was removed a short time prior to his "suicide."
This is obviously pure off the wall speculation, but these circumstances are all pure off the wall speculation from where we stand. All we get is the enemedia garbage those on the line want US to hear, see or read.

The obstacles to bringing this to sunlight: It is HIPPA protected, a medical investigation, the autopsy, the medical control, the saftey control of Epstien, the protection of the criminal investigation, the protection of the inmate by the correctional facility, the security of the correctional facility.
What was the medical evidence of the injury of the even on Jul 24th? Where are the records? Who determined the cause of injury? who determined his need for protection from attack or his need for protection from suicide. Given the questions of suicide vs attack; the ongoing security needed; the national security at stake based on these investigations; the medicolegal security warranted of the patient/inmate; the legal security needed of the institution —- This man warranted
Maximum protection from suicide
Maximum protection from attack
Maximum documentation of the processes in place for measures in place for
— suicide
— attack
— decisionmaking for his injuries, his medical care, his suicide protection, his safety, his security.
There was no other prisoner in the world more important to protect with respect to suicide, attack, forensic evidence, criminal evidence, and national security risk. He should have been under maximum security at all levels. Who should be held accountable:
POTUS and Barr
The leadership of the correctional facility
The lawyers for this country
The lawyers for Epstien
The leadership of the Correctional facility
The State law enforcement
The coroner system.
Everything happening going forward needs to be done jointly by representatives from multiple levels, under full sunlight. National security is at risk. Justice is at risk, the integrity of our justice system is at risk.

Anything this miller dame writes is usually something one does not bother reading. #2, you must be very naïve to lay this at President Trump's feet. The tentacles of the former 'ho boy from Arkansas and his dirty mafia are and will always be around. NYPD is very bribable and this 'suicide' was easily arranged. You might avail yourself of a list that was posted here yesterday by Jim Hoft (gateway pundit) enumerating the 'deaths' that occurred in the Clinton orbit.

It seem that the people running the MCC violated every protocol for monitoring a person held in detention that tried to commit suicide once before. This does not pass the smell test. It triggered the BS alarm, big time.

MYSTERIOUS? Not to me. It was just like when Joan Rivers stated when asked about the first gay president, "We already have one;Obama. And Michelle is a tranny, we all know it". I told my daughter that Joan Rivers would not make it to the end of the year...and she did not..."mysteriously".

Too many high profile and influential people are sleeping easier for anybody to believe this is suicide.

I haven't read this article yet - or a lot about it, but is everybody sure he's dead? If there was a body, was it his? This happens a lot.

If you are looking for justice in anything connected to government, mat I suggest you not hold your breath.
I would venture to say that the best we can hope for is that one day these people will face a judge they can not buy, as will we all.
