Last edited Sat Aug 17, 2019, 03:27 PM - Edit history (1)

a summary report similar to Barr's summary of the Mueller Report.

He contends that her report does not end questions of the matter and what's needed now is a toxicology report of the contents of Epstein's stomach and a dna report from finger nail scrapings, along with other evidence.

And so it continues.

1. Some jail staffers not cooperating with DOJ investigation into Epstein suicide, source says
Sat Aug 17, 2019, 12:10 PM
Aug 2019

From “Fox News”

Personnel at the New York City prison where accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide last week have not been initially cooperative with investigators from the Department of Justice, a federal source told Fox News Friday.

Attorney General William Barr sent two senior DOJ officials to personally visit the Metropolitan Correctional Center and speak with staff from the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) in order to gather information on Epstein's death after Barr said officials uncovered "serious irregularities" at the jail, a senior DOJ official told Fox News. The officials have been on site since Thursday and the FBI and the Justice Department's inspector general are investigating conditions at the MCC.

I would think would be normal procedure in an autopsy so why not divulge them? Epstein's cellmate is said to be a suspect in four murders and it is suspected that the earlier, alleged suicide attempt of Epstein was actually an assault by this guy.

Doesn't seem unreasonable to ask to see reports from routine autopsy procedures.

It's about logic and common sense.

You don't need to "cover your bases" if you are actively killing him by choking him. Just choke him til he's dead. Bases covered.
Injecting poison just leaves evidence that he was murdered vice committed suicide.
You aren't "covering any bases" you are dropping a giant red flag.

He wasn't on suicide watch so he had normal sheets. Having normal sheets means you can hang yourself.
Which, ya know, is why they take those sheets away when you are on suicide watch.

Just because he's dead doesn't mean the evidence goes away or the investigations necessarily stop.

And if he had something against Trump, that was a card he would have played immediately.

So it doesn't make sense to you that:

A broken bone in his neck means he died by strangulation either by choking or by hanging
That poisoning someone after you choked them to make it look like a suicide is astronomically stupid
Testing for said putative poison (where there are no signs of poisoning by the way) is an absolute waste of time

Yeah, I don't know what to tell you then other than you are wedded to a conspiracy theory.

have been poisoned BEFORE and alleged hanging/strangulation which would break the neck bone, could be a cover of a possible poisoning. GET IT FINALLY?

And the dna report to see if he struggled and scratch a possible stangler.

Any autopsy report would include those things so I don't get at all why you're so against releasing that information.

then WHY strangle him?
If you can reach him and strangle him and kill him, then WHY poison him?

It's ridiculous.

Any autopsy report would NOT include those things because an autopsy looks for what there is evidence for.

Heck, let's check to see if he was drowned first. Or injected with air to cause a heart attack. Or maybe he was electrocuted first.
We don't have any evidence for any of that stuff either, but heck, let's check it all.

Maybe a deadly insect or snake was introduced...we should check for that too.

Poisoning usually leaves signs on the body by the way. It leaves discoloration, or other reactions.

You just picked poisoning because it seems like super secret spy stuff and you think/believe he was killed so that's where you jump to. Not because there is a rational or logical reason to test for something there is no evidence for.

Jeffrey Epstein is dead because of gross negligence on the part of the DOJ, prison administrators, overworked staff and shitty defense lawyers.

when you have right-wing-extremists...like Barr and trump... coming out of the gate with excuses,..including hauling out Bill Clinton and accusing him of murder, somethings not copacetic. They've obviously covered up a bunch of crap in their lifetimes, but they don't seem to have gotten better at it. I guess they don't need to. We'll never know what happened. Yet people will swear by the public version, and call anyone who disagrees a wacko-conspiracy-theorist. I've read the book so many times.
