This does not surprise me: Video from camera outside Epstein jail cell unusable: report

https://thehill.com/homenews/news/458922-video-from-camera-outside-epstein-jail-cell-unusable-report


At least one camera stationed in the hallway outside billionaire financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s prison cell, where officials say he hung himself earlier this month, had footage that was deemed unusable, The Washington Post reports.

While one hallway camera had unusable footage, another nearby camera caught clearer video, the Post noted, adding that it is unknown why certain footage was useable while some was not, as well as the extent of the glitch.

Epstein's death in federal custody as he awaited trial on sex trafficking and abuse charges raised a series of questions. He was jailed at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, where New York City’s chief medical examiner later determined he killed himself.

Attorney General William Barr said he was “appalled” and “angry” over the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death and directed the FBI and the Justice Department Inspector General to investigate it. Officials plan to use the footage recorded in determining whether protocol was violated or laws were broken.

And IF they were sloppy about this, what else have they screwed up in the cover up?

I'm so happy that Barr is "appalled" and "angry". Surely that means that he will get to the bottom of this.

what is that saying dead men tell no tales. They made sure Epstein didn't spill the beans. Too many crusty dirty ole men were involved with this filthy pedophile, assaulter of girls.

Title of article:


'A deep and boiling anger': NBC/WSJ poll finds a pessimistic America despite current economic satisfaction
A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds that 70 percent of Americans say they're angry at the political establishment





My comment: This is how it begins, sooner or later we will rise.
