Those are the 2 direct people responsible for Epstein.

Barr is far removed from this while the Warden and Chief Psychologist are physically there and personally responsible.

Do you think they called up Barr to ask his permission to take Epstein off suicide watch ?
No. And that isn't what I said.

Do you agree or disagree that the person in charge is nominally responsible for what happens under her/his watch?

The fact is, if there was skullduggery, I HIGHLY doubt that Barr would be involved. For the very reason that he IS nominally in charge of federal prisons, and wouldn't want that blot on his resume. So to speak.

He will have a lot of questions to answer. And until he answers them satisfactorily he will be in the hot seat. That's what it means to be in charge, and that is why they pay him the big bucks. Shrugging and saying "I dunno, that's not my responsibility" will not cut it.

Oh come on. A gunshot to the head is faster and easier than strangling to death. And a gunshot wound, assuming it was silenced, would be noticeable. Imagine the difficulty of covering that up.

The simplest explanation is the most probable. Epstein had help doing it himself, or he did it himself. The reason I hold out a possibility that he had help, is because the suicide watch had been lifted. I think if they focus on the why of that, something might surface. But no one went into a federal jail with a loaded gun, got into Epstein’s cell, and waved it around.

Fine then. You can look beyond the people directly involved but I think it's the Warden and Chief Psychologist that have to answer questions.

Lois Lerner took the sword for the IRS scandal. I think it originated above her. But she took one for the team, resigned, got her pension and most likely a padded bank account to put that scandal to rest.

I'm sure Barr will be investigating, and I'm sure they will have to account to him for themselves.

But if Congress gets involved - and I suspect they will - it will be Barr they will call.

OF COURSE! Remember, his saying "rigged", "conspiracy", "crooked" and more, when it all applies to him. I envisoned that he breathed a sigh of relief, stupidly thinking he is "off the hook" (again), when possibly having had a hand in this event, himself.

He spends most of his time having something be diverted or deflected from himself, being utterly focused upon his escaping blame or consequences, his ENTIRE life.

The sad truthful answer is it is fun to think about whether a more conspiracy oriented answer is plausible.

I Hazzard to guess if people who voted YES were asked, do you really seriously think it wasn't just a simple suicide by someone who realized he would never walk free, that they would say NO.

Do I believe that Epstein committed suicide?

I believe e that people have been suicided, that knew a lot less and had less dirt, on people of power.

It would take a lot to convince me that this was just a scared man saying screw it I want to die.

I have to agree. I am no Trump supporter, in fact the opposite is true. That said the Trump haters go back to a point before the man was ever charged with a crime and completely disregard Bills many trips to paradise island. This just shows how very partisan the rabid left can be.
