Correctional officers subpoenaed in Epstein investigation: report
The Hill ^ | 08/22/19 | John Bowden

Up to 20 officers at a Manhattan detention facility where disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein was being held before his death earlier this month have reportedly been subpoenaed by a federal grand jury for testimony.

CNN reported Thursday that a source close to the investigation said that as many as 20 subpoenas have been issued, with more possibly on the way.

Epstein, 66, was found dead due to an apparent suicide after guards reportedly failed to conduct rounds by his cell over the course of three hours, despite regulations stating that he was to be checked on every 30 minutes.

The financier was awaiting trial on charges of trafficking underage girls for sex and had previously been found unconscious in his cell with injuries around his neck and placed on suicide watch. He was later removed from suicide watch before his death.

Before I saw she was a person of color I was going to joke that Officer Dinseenuffin agreed with Officer Dindunuffin that it must have been a tragic suicide.

Now I want to say I meant no disrespect to any person of color including the reassigned warden. When her future popular book of memoirs is discussed on The View she can explain a lot to clear her name fully.

DOn’t worry folks, this is just to make sure none of these people were given anything that might implicate our High and Mighty Public Masters, should something come up, we will dispose of it promptly and properly and fully protect the guilty to avoid assisted suicide.

Follow up investigations continue to move at a Snail’s Pace.
Epstein had one home within the American Continent, in the state of New Mexico. Guess what? authorities STILL have not raided and/or locked that place down. Really makes one wonder about the justice system, does it not?

Media has had the guards names for two weeks, but they’ve withheld them.

Protection.

Maybe they don’t want mixed stories publicized.

Not me, I start with the conclusion they are corrupt.

Hi.

Not wanting to sound conspiratorial, but check all their bank accounts for unusually large deposits.

“....The warden, Shirley Skipper Scott, reassigned.....”

An Odongo-special POST TURTLE.
She should have been immediately terminated, NOT “reassigned”.

Its quite interesting that a Grand Jury has been convened to investigate this “suicide”.

That’s not at all normal.

Off topic, but could someone please check out Fox’s Martha MacCallum’s show on now. Patrick Byrnes interview re Strzok, Brennan, etc deep state cabal. Reason he resigned as CEO of Overstock.com was guilt over being part of it, and used byvtge deep state.
Is very positive re Barr.

My post should read “used by the deep state”.

Now Byrne is saying he realized he was part of a political espionage plot vs Trump.
Says has been told by his own lawyer that he will be destroyed by the Deep State.
Says Comey or Strzok will S...T when they know he’s doing this.
