WASHINGTON (AP) — The two Bureau of Prisons workers tasked with guarding Jeffrey Epstein the night he killed himself in a New York jail have admitted they falsified records, but they will skirt any time behind bars under a deal with federal prosecutors, authorities said Friday.
The prison workers, Tova Noel and Michael Thomas, were accused of sleeping and browsing the internet instead of monitoring Epstein the night he took his own life in August 2019.
They were charged with lying on prison records to make it seem as though they had made required checks on the financier before he was found in his cell. New York City’s medical examiner ruled Epstein’s death a suicide.
As part of the deal with prosecutors, they will enter into a deferred prosecution agreement with the Justice Department and will serve no time behind bars, according to a letter from federal prosecutors that was filed in court papers Friday. Noel and Thomas would instead be subjected to supervised release, would be required to complete 100 hours of community service and would be required to fully cooperate with an ongoing probe by the Justice Department’s inspector general, it says.

That's only the half of it. If it were only that they shirked their duty and thus he was able to commit suicide, we could all find it in our hearts to forgive.

Is there anybody in this country who honestly believes Epstein committed suicide?
And that he was NOT killed to make sure he couldn't talk about his experiences on his teenage island paradise with certain very highly placed elected officials from around the world, whose names appeared prominently on his guest lists and airplane passenger manifests?

He didn't kill himself. He was killed so he couldn't testify against the myriads of very very prominent people who he associated with/provided illegal sexual encounters to.
That's why we care.
