Pierce: Nobody Will Ever Believe the Official Story on This

BY CHARLES P. PIERCE
AUG 10, 2019

Absolutely nobody is going to believe any official story that comes out about this. From The New York Times:

Mr. Epstein hung himself and his body was found this morning at roughly 7:30. Manhattan federal prosecutors last month charged Mr. Epstein, 66, with sex trafficking of girls as young as 14, and details of his behavior have been emerging for years.

How in the hell do they let this happen? The guy was incarcerated in the Manhattan Correctional Center. He already had made one try. He had to be on suicide watch. And the suicide happens the day after a massive document dump in which a woman who said she was one of Epstein's victims implicates an entire brigade of celebrity "clients," up to an including some European royalty? There almost can't be a dog more reluctant to hunt than this one.

A whole bunch of Somebodies need to get fired behind this. Beyond it, of course, a thousand conspiracy theories will now bloom across all the Intertoobz. The other people involved have to be nervous. Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's alleged accomplice who has yet to be charged, has to be looking over her shoulder.

Is she looking over her shoulder to see if the FBI is back there, or to see if something darker is closing in? This country is losing what's left of its mind.

Jeffrey Epstein prosecution remains ongoing — because alleged co-conspirators remain alive: SDNY

Federal prosecutors are going their prosecution in the Jeffrey Epstein case, despite the fact he was found dead in his prison cell on Monday.

Normally, the death of the defendant would end any pending criminal prosecutions. But Epstein’s case involved a conspiracy count, and as one cannot conspire with themselves, that angle of the investigation “remains ongoing.”

Earlier this morning, the Manhattan Correctional Center confirmed that Jeffrey Epstein, who faced charges brought by this Office of engaging in the sex trafficking of minors, had been found unresponsive in his cell and was pronounced dead shortly thereafter of an apparent suicide,” South District of New York U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said in a statement.

“Today’s events are disturbing, and we are deeply aware of their potential to present yet another hurdle to giving Epstein’s many victims their day in Court. To those brave young women who have already come forward and to the many others who have yet to do so, let me reiterate that we remain committed to standing for you, and our investigation of the conduct charged in the Indictment – which included a conspiracy count – remains ongoing,” he explained.

And Trump was again a TOTAL asshole for his Clinton connection tweet. That was about as
presidential as sucking his own testicles in the middle of 5th Ave. on a balmy, busy afternoon.
