By MICHAEL R. SISAK and MICHAEL BALSAMO today

NEW YORK (AP) — Two weeks before ending his life, Jeffrey Epstein sat in the corner of his Manhattan jail cell with his hands over his ears, desperate to muffle the sound of a toilet that wouldn’t stop running.

Epstein was agitated and unable to sleep, jail officials observed in records newly obtained by The Associated Press. He called himself a “coward” and complained he was struggling to adapt to life behind bars following his July 2019 arrest on federal sex trafficking and conspiracy charges — his life of luxury reduced to a concrete and steel cage.

The disgraced financier was under psychological observation at the time for a suicide attempt just days earlier that left his neck bruised and scraped. Yet, even after a 31-hour stint on suicide watch, Epstein insisted he wasn’t suicidal, telling a jail psychologist he had a “wonderful life” and “would be crazy” to end it.

On Aug. 10, 2019, Epstein was dead.

1. He was murdered

I’m sure.

[mpcamb]

4. I agree.

If the notion is to make his death look more like a suicide, this is the story I'd plant.

[3Hotdogs]

6. I disagree. No need to release that story as a coverup now. The story has disappeared.

But was he "offed?" Quite possible, if not even probable. There are a lot of people who were his friends and visitors and they wouldn't want their names in the papers.

They still don't know who wacked Whitey Bulger.

[mpcamb]

19. So we do agree that a lot of high placed people had a lot to lose if he 'sang'.

and yes, it's likely to never see the light of day now.
The follow up I'd like to see is about the ever-so-sleepy guards-
Are they alive?
If so, are they in the same financial bracket they were before?

[Mosby]

30. Why didn't they kill that woman?

She could "sing" at any time.

These days, no one would believe anything he said, unless he had some sort of physical evidence.

[hlthe2b]

5. That is one conspiracy theory that I cannot dismiss. More likely than not, IMO...

[llmart]

17. +1

I agree. It's only a conspiracy theory if it's untrue. There may even be rumblings about what all the ongoing investigations into Trump are finding. Too many so-called "coincidences" in this tale.

[getagrip_already]

10. Murdered, or intentionally driven to suicide....

If a person is already suicidal, it is not difficult to push them to finish the job.

Add a few drops to his food to add to psychosis, make his environment unbearable (not hard in prison), have the ag visit him and and suggest his loved ones will be protected no matter what......

Is that murder? If intentional, yes. You don't have to push out a chair to murder someone. You can trick them into doing it themselves.

[republianmushroom]

21. agree

[gibraltar72]

2. Kool story Bro.

[Botany]

7. And who visited the lock up that Epstein was at a little before his "suicide?"

Bill Barr.

[liberalla]

8. I do not remember that. Wow.

What is the significance of Barr's visit? Did Epstein tell Barr something that he reported back and the decision was made that Epstein was too dangerous to keep alive? Did Barr tell Epstein something that pushed Epstein over the edge?

Early morning here... not awake yet. I think Epstein's suicide was 'assisted'. This is a tantalizing story..

[Botany]

9. The day of or the day before Epstein's "suicide" Jeffery talked about his use of Trump's plane to

... fly "his girls" around and that Trump had used his plane too. Too many "things" surrounding the
end of Epstein's life just don't pass my smell test. The video monitors and recording operations
went out, both guards said they were sleeping (I don't blame them ... nice family you got there shame
if anything happened 'em), and that lock up hadn't had a suicide for years.

I think Epstein's real business was black mail and he had some powerful people who would be happy
if he "was gone."

[viva la]

11. Bill barr's father hired Epstein

To teach math at an elite private school, starting his career of living off the rich.

[brush]

12. Oh, yeah. It was well known back then that Barr visited with him.

The night of the deed both guards were asleep or on break...BOTH OF THEM, the security cameras were conveniently not functioning. He somehow had something to hang himself with.

How did all those things happen at the same time?

Barr's fingerprints are all over this.

[former9thward]

27. It did not happen.

It was a rumor that has been debunked.

https://www.factcheck.org/2019/08/baseless-claim-about-barr-visit-to-epstein-prison/

[brush]

29. Oh, yeah? Epstein is alive then?

See post 25. And the facts remain the security cameras malfunctioned conveniently, the two guard were both "asleep or on break," and he somehow got a rope.

Abut snopes didn't actually prove he wasn't there. They just couldn't prove he was.

[former9thward]

31. So now they are supposed to prove a negative.

OK.

[brush]

32. That's what your whole debunked post is, a negative that wasn't proved or disproved.

[former9thward]

33. If someone claims they were abducted by aliens I guess we are supposed to post it.

Afterall you can't prove it didn't happen. The idea of a US AG visiting a prison without being able to prove it is ludicrous. No end of people would know about it.

[getagrip_already]

13. Like giving a political prisoner a pistol....

And telling them they have 10 minutes to kill themselves. If they do, their family will be fine.

If not, they are still dead, but their family is toast.

[former9thward]

26. You don't remember it because it never happened.

It was a rumor that has been debunked.

https://www.factcheck.org/2019/08/baseless-claim-about-barr-visit-to-epstein-prison/

[50 Shades Of Blue]

20. Snopes rated this claim false.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/epstein-barr-visit/

[getagrip_already]

23. What they said was the story was without merit.....

They didn't prove the negative however, which could have been done by releasing Barr's actual schedule for the time frame.

No matter. I don't think it's true for other reasons, but snopes didn't actually prove he wasn't there. They just couldn't prove he was.

[progressoid]

14. 4000 pages of documents.

That's some fun reading for conspiracy theory buffs.

[jaxexpat]

15. All this to confuse the narrative about the neutralization of a jet-set threat.

When did the National Inquirer become the template for informative broadcasting and in-depth reporting?

Oh, I remember now......it came along with the "information" age.

16. Very few people seem to remember the oddness of giving him this particular roommate:

Ex-cop, a former prison cellmate of Jeffrey Epstein, convicted for murdering 4 men

Nicholas Tartaglione faces a possible life sentence in federal prison.

—
A former New York police officer and cellmate of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein was found guilty Thursday of killing four men in 2015, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York announced.

Nicholas Tartaglione, who is described by US Attorney Damien Williams as “a former police officer-turned drug dealer,” faces a possible life sentence in federal prison after a jury found him guilty of killing Martin Luna, Miguel Luna, Urbano Santiago and Hector Gutierrez, according to a Thursday news release.

In 2015, Tartaglione suspected Martin Luna had stolen money from him and planned to confront him during an in-person meeting, to which Martin brought along his nephews, Miguel Luna and Urbano and his family friend Gutierrez, the release said. But the meeting was a “deadly trap,” according to Williams, and the events that came thereafter “could only be described as pure terror.”

Tartaglione tortured Martin and then forced one of Martin’s nephews to watch as he strangled him to death with a zip-tie, according to the US Attorney’s Office statement.

The former officer and two of his associates then brought Miguel Luna, Urbano and Gutierrez to a remote wooded location, forced them to kneel and fatally shot them in the back of the head before burying their bodies in a mass grave, the release said.

Nicholas Tartaglione: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

Nicholas Tartaglione is a former New York police officer who was questioned in relation to Jeffrey Epstein’s July 2019 “suicide attempt” after which prison guards found the disgraced financier in the “fetal position” inside of his jail cell.

On August 10, Epstein appeared to have succeeded in a suicide attempt as he pronounced dead after being found hanging in his jail cell. At the time of his death, Epstein was not on suicide watch. He was 66 years old.

In December 2016, Tartaglione, who had already left the Briarcliff Police Department, was arrested and accused of killing four men, Martin Luna, Miguel Luna, Urbano Santiago, and Hector Gutierrez, as part of a cocaine conspiracy. The victims were found inside a property in Otisville that had been rented in the past by Tartaglione. Tartaglione and Epstein are both being held at the New York Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan while awaiting trial.

On the morning of July 25, it was widely reported that Jeffrey Epstein was found injured in his jail cell in New York City after trying to hang himself. Epstein was arrested on July 6 and accused by federal authorities of sex trafficking minors in Florida and New York.

. . .

NBC New York reports that Tartaglione was questioned in relation to the incident. In addition, a source told the station that Epstein’s injuries were not serious and that the suicide attempt may have been a ruse to gain a jail transfer. At the time of writing, Epstein is on suicide watch.

24. AG Bill Barr's dad HIRED college dropout Epstein to teach at exclusive NYC prep school.

Donald Barr, the late father of former AG Bill Barr, hired Jeffrey Epstein the College Dropout to teach at the private Dalton School in Manhattan. The senior Barr was an OSS veteran, meaning the guy had connections to all the alphabets in today's IC.

The Ties That Bind Jeffrey Epstein, William Barr & Donald Trump

Todd Neikirk
Hill Reporter, May 19, 2019

During Attorney General, William Barr’s confirmation hearing, he was mostly peppered with questions about how he would handle the Mueller Report. Senator Ben Sasse’s (R-NE) questioning, however, diverged from the pack. Sasse asked Barr about the lenient sentence given out to billionaire pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein. The future Attorney General told Sasse that he would look into the matter.

This, however, was not the first connection between Barr and his family and the disgraced pedophile. In 1973, Barr’s father Donald, the headmaster at Manhattan’s Dalton School, hired Epstein as a calculus and physics teacher.

While hiring Epstein, a noted mathematics genius, was not strange on its face, the hire was unusual for a number of reasons. Epstein had not earned a college degree as he dropped out of New York’s prestigious Cooper Union. The other odd circumstance was that the new teacher was only 20 years of age.

Apparently, the hire was a successful one. The New Yorker wrote in a 2003 profile on Epstein, “he was something of a Robin Williams–in–Dead Poets Society type of figure, wowing his high-school classes with passionate mathematical riffs.” Epstein’s mathematical skills caught the eye of Bear Stearns’ chairman, Alan “Ace” Greenberg, whose son attended the Dalton School. Greenberg hired Epstein as an options trader and the former teacher was able to amass a fortune.

25. Dang ...

Gross... He was at my college CU the first year I was there.
At least he was in the (School of) Science & Engineering biding in general, and I was in the (School of) Art & Architecture building. It would have been a possibility he might have been in one of our mixed Liberal Arts classes between the two schools.


Yeah it was a long time ago but who'd want to be near someone who became so hideous in their actions later on.

[Grasswire2]

28. and Epstein had two newly broken bones at autopsy

Something especially unusual about a "suicide"
