The FBI signaled it is investigating the death of disgraced billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein after he was discovered dead in his jail cell overnight after an apparent suicide.
The Department of Justice said in a news release Saturday that the FBI would investigate the "apparent suicide" of Epstein in his Manhattan jail cell.
U.S. Bureau of Prisons has said that Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell early Saturday morning, The Associated Press reported.
The Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC), where Epstein was being held, didn't return multiple requests for comments from The Hill earlier Saturday.

Good. But will they be allowed to FULLY INVESTIGATE is the question. Their hands were tied tightly in investigating Rapenaugh (Kavanaugh) so - I'll wait and see. Not much faith in this. I DO have faith in our FBI and intel folks, but NOT in the DoJ or Trump.
How CONVENIENT that Epstein is dead. He was holed up in a prison run by BILL BARR'S DoJ. Bill Barr's primary role is to PROTECT TRUMP - who has turned the DoJ into his personal law firm and Barr into his legal bouncer. To say this is suspicious is a gross understatement.

Capable of any cowardly weaselly mob type thing. Where some muscle does the actual anything.
On his own, he's incapable of tying his own shoes. He's incapable of pronouncing his lies on the teevee without lisping like he has a mouth full of shit.

(4,575 posts)There is something about him that makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. He isn't even a competent lawyer. His shitty broken windows police policy put more people in jail than the Crime Bill ever did. And for misdemeanors no less. I will give him credit for cleaning up Times Square.

instead of at Rikers.
The FBI cannot be trusted to investigate this matter because of who they report to (i.e. Barr and Trump).
Edit: See #18. I think I am in error here.

(527 posts)I don't know about you but, it sounds a lot like someone is covering their tracks. Don't forget that a weakling like this will sing like a song bird. And when you have names like he did (a lot of very rich & powerful people)
they will make sure nothing gets out. Including, the names in order for Epstein to have leverage for a plea deal and get a light sentence. Just look back at the start of the trump election when it was just a "rumor" that the russians were involved in trumps behalf. All of a sudden a lot of russians started "accidentally" dying. Poisionings, accidents, falling out of windows the whole gambit of "accidental deaths"...
agincourt
(1,996 posts)and yes maybe he would not have sung anything, but real law enforcement might be a little curious. Maybe want to keep him alive so his accusers could face him in court? Keep him alive for a while, see what he says? But no, the canary's dead, time to go fill up on chick a fil. Nothing to see here. He had the same security as a dude selling meth out of his trailer.....how convenient.

(33,140 posts)Too many wanted Epstein to go away.
We'll never know, but, I've doubted all along that we ever would know.
Hawaii Hiker
(3,166 posts)hire a dream team of legal representation and fight the charges....Then if he was ultimately convicted, then you can understand suicide as he'd have had no options left...I just think a defendant with his wealth would want his day in court...
So yeah, I'm suspicious...

Why?
JustABozoOnThisBus
(23,340 posts)Hey, Epstein, you're off suicide watch. Here's a gun, knife, rope, lead pipe, wrench, bone saw, and a new group of cellmates who just arrived on a Royal Saudi jet. Have a nice day.

(32,639 posts)He had blackmail material on a lot of wealthy people, who were probably all scared shitless. Epstein's house in Manhattan was raided but he probably kept his real kompromat hidden somewhere on his island away from the Feds. I mean, wouldn't that make sense?
This story will be worked for gossip and bestseller books for a long time.
Ghislaine Maxwell had better watch her step too. Just sayin'

On Friday evening, residents living in the Caribbean near Jeffrey Epstein, a wealthy registered sex offender, reported hearing an explosion and seeing a very large fire on the southwest corner of his private island.

And the bit about taking him off suicide watch? Why the hell did they do that? He was on suicide watch after the first attempt, and A WEEK AND A HALF LATER he's just fine and dandy and can be taken off? Does anyone at all believe this?

(81,265 posts)And cannot help but suspect its also a signal to keep yer mouth shut to any number of seedy types who are slithering around in this hell-swamp. And that would INCLUDE Bill Barr. Now, hes highly motivated to protect trump even more intensely - as though his life depended on it. Literally. He probably got that message in no uncertain terms.
You ALWAYS have to look into who stands to gain from this kind of thing.

gldstwmn
(4,575 posts)that jail in several of his books. Apparently anything goes there and he would know as he was housed there. Epstein realized he was stuck and wasn't going to get out and offed himself or someone did the deed for him, knowing what the Feds found in that safe in the Manhattan townhouse. Soon they'll have everything from all his residences but will we ever see it? Also highly suspect that everyone Ms. Giuffre named yesterday was a Democrat. Everyone knows this scandal did not concern any political party but ALL. Fleeing to Australia and starting over is very expensive.
