Barr Demands Answers for Epstein Death

Note: The Ace of Spades Pet Thread is below! Remember you can keep commenting there about nice things, like doggies.



FoxNews;

Attorney General William Barr said Saturday that he is "appalled" by the death of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein - and said that he has spoken to the Department of Justice's inspector general about opening a probe into the circumstances surrounding the apparent suicide.

"I was appalled to learn that Jeffrey Epstein was found dead early this morning from an apparent suicide while in federal custody. Mr. Epstein's death raises serious questions that must be answered. In addition to the FBI's investigation, I have consulted with the Inspector General who is opening an investigation into the circumstances of Mr. Epstein's death."


Epstein, who is accused of sex trafficking minors, was found unresponsive inside his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City around 6:30 a.m. Life-saving measures were initiated immediately by responding staff. He was transported to the New York Presbyterian-Lower Manhattan Hospital and was dead on arrival, officials said.

The New York City medical examiner's office told Fox News that an autopsy is pending to determine the cause of death. But the death comes two weeks after the 66-year-old was placed on suicide watch after being found injured in his cell. Epstein was in his own cell at the time of his death and was no longer on suicide watch, according to the Associated Press.

I'm certainly not going to knock anyone for speculating about foul play here, but I do think there's a case that this was just a suicide, enabled by the usual high standards of government work.

He tried to kill himself three weeks ago. He had been on suicide watch, but no longer was. (I don't know how long they keep you on suicide watch, but obviously the answer isn't "forever.") Now in a bed with regular bedsheets (I heard someone say that suicide watch bedsheets are intentionally flimsy so they can't be used as a noose without simply tearing), he offed himself.

Were guards supposed to check up on him every half our or so? Maybe. But you can kill yourself quickly if you want, and besides, the guards really aren't there to keep you from killing yourself. They're there to follow the protocols that will keep them from getting fired. There's a difference, you know?

Not saying that there's nothing to the darker speculations -- I'm just saying the least-sinister theory of the case shouldn't be dismissed.

But, on the other hand, the Daily Mail suggests that there might be something more sinister here:

Jeffrey Epstein was found hanged in his prison cell at Metropolitan Correctional Center on Saturday morning

However, a source who has seen Epstein in recent weeks has told DailyMail.com that 'there was no indication he might try to take his own life'

The insider further claims the billionaire had told prison guards and fellow inmates that he feared someone had tried to kill him

Epstein, 66, was briefly hospitalized on July 24 after being found semi-conscious on the floor of his jail cell

It is unclear whether he attempted suicide or whether was attacked

The billionaire was not on suicide watch at the time he took his own life on
Saturday, sparking outrage from top Washington figures

Attorney General Will Barr has ordered both the FBI and the Inspector General to open investigations into Epstein's death

Epstein's death comes just 24 hours after explosive court documents were unsealed implicating several powerful men in Epstein's sex scandals

The Hero of Cucks, Ben "Spotlight" Sassy, saw a chance to strut around and play Pretend Hero and so he's getting his quotes printed in the liberal press.


Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) on Saturday wrote a letter to Attorney General William Barr that "heads must roll" regarding Jeffrey Epstein's apparent suicide after his body was found and it was reported that he had been take off suicide watch.

"The Department of Justice failed, and today Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirators think they might have just gotten one last sweetheart deal," Sasse, who chairs the the Senate Judiciary oversight subcommittee, wrote in the letter.

"Every single person in the Justice Department -- from your Main Justice headquarters staff all the way to the night-shift jailer -- knew that this man was a suicide risk, and that his dark secrets couldn't be allowed to die with him," he added.

"Given Epstein's previous attempted suicide, he should have been locked in a padded room under unbroken, 24/7, constant surveillance. Obviously, heads must roll," he wrote.

Um, that sounds unconstitutional. If we did that to a suicidal illegal immigrant who'd been detained, Sassy would be screaming that we were Nazi Germany, putting people inside the Panopticon.

And in the meanwhile, Sassyboy has had not one word to say about the DOJ's leaking and lying and spying on a presidential candidate.

This might be a clue worth following up on:

I dunno. He's demanding a sentence before an investigation. Has he similarly done that in any other case? Or does he routinely swear to the integrity and competency of the DOJ?

When it comes to the spying and weaponization of the DOJ and CIA, Sisse has taken a very wait-and-see attitude.

48 There are three possibilities.


1) Epstein committed suicide, because the people running the prison are incompetent.

2) Epstein committed suicide, because the people running the prison let him/helped him.

3) Epstein did not committed suicide, and someone in the prison let him be murdered.


And if someone working there gets Arkanicided in the next couple of days we'll know the answer is not #1.

They were underage girls in poverty or runaways in mostly European countries. Epstein had a woman who recruited them. Initially, they just had to give "massages" and were paid $200, which was a huge amount of money to them. After a while on the island, they were required to do more.

80 Unfortunately convenient. Hopefully, somebody knows where the tapes are.

Also, 2 reasons to know that PDT wasn't involved.

One - No attempt by the President to block the release of documents. He knows he had nothing to worry about.

Two - Robert Mueller, Director of the FBI during the first Epstein incident, and most recently, the wily hunter trying to find a crime. If there was a hint of involvement, we would have known that long before Epstein was arrested.

83 someone earlier mentioned they did PREVENT suicide with McVeigh ... and imo Epstein is a bigger fish. If steps were taken to allow suicide, that is criminal, if they can prove it ... well, criminal even if they can't prove it, or even if it gets wiped with a cloth.


And for whatever reason, Coulter was sure two weeks ago he needed to be moved to a SuperMax pronto ... seems clear many people think the corruption runs so deep that he was not safe where he was.

Well, I'll be, that camera malfunctioned...it's the darndest thing. There Juan Epstein was sitting in his cell, tape goes dark for a few minutes, and bam! there he is hanging dead. Darn computers, you know how they are.

85 interesting but bear in mind his first suicide
attempt was three weeks ago-- you can't hold someone in that kind of
serious restraint forever. You'd run into 8th Amendment problems, cruel
and unusual punishment.

93 I have no idea how feds deal with a potentially
suicidal inmate, but in Dawson county Georgia they take all your
clothing....no socks, no nothing, put you in what's called a "turtle
suit" which is basically two large pads they sandwich you into....green
and round, hence the name. Then they put you in a padded cell...padded
floor, no fixtures, no bed, just a hole in the padding and floor in the
middle of the room to relieve yourself in. Food is sandwiches delivered
in a bag and koolaid in a styrofoam cup. The door to the padded cell is 5
feet from the watch commanders station.....the busiest place in the
jail with someone walking by the window at least every 10
minutes....24/7. Most county jails in Georgia are similar.
Constitutional or not, that's how it's done.

Had a buddy in CT that got arrested and put on suicide watch in the State prison. No clothes, shoes or socks, one blanket and had a guard watch him eat off of his foam plate with his plastic spork, which he was relieved of when he was done.


He was on video 24/7 and was checked on every 30 minutes. He never got to sleep because they kept checking on him.

Mentioned earlier you'd think if he was so clever as to get where he is (was), he'd be clever enough to have a dead-mans switch in place to make sure he didn't accidentally commit suicide.

I'm thinking that the people he put in place for just such an event were not really there to look after his best interests after all. Once the FBI got all the other pertinent info into a safe place, they got the all-clear and [pitch meeting guy's voice] whoopsie!

I spent the next 2 hours rocking the machine until they finally fell down. As I was returning to my duty station, I passed Bill and Hillary Clinton carrying a step ladder and rope, obviously they were doing maintenance as a charitable donation from their foundation.
The donuts were a bit stale and I saw nothing unusual to report until I was awakened a few minutes later outside Mr. Epstein`s cell by a strange gasping sound."

You'd run into 8th Amendment problems, cruel and unusual punishment.

If said inmate is still suicidal, they can, and do, keep him in the turtle suit until he gets tired of it and promises to not try and off himself. Then he goes to whatever cell is appropriate for his current classification. It's all about CYA. Suicide watch is a pain for everyone, the prisoner in particular. I wager eventually we'll hear Epstein pinky promised that he wouldn't harm himself so he could get a shower that didn't involve hoses and a hot meal.

173 Hospitals do not keep people who attempted suicide on a 1:1 watch "forever". Circumstances change, and patients lie about suicidal intent (both ways- they lie to stay in hospital and they lie to get out and hurt themselves. There is no test to prove suicidal intent)

That said it sounds as if Epstein's case changed to make him more vulnerable, not less, to suicide or arkancide. Increasing info suggesting that he would not only face a long sentence, but bring down others would increase, not mitigate, risk. A sensible person would have left him on watch, IMO.

All they needed with Epstein was a guard or two right there watching him. Easy Peasy for such a high value WITNESS ... he had many stories to tell, could have got him country club prison I bet. He could have least waited till he better knew his fate ... and maybe he indeed did want to wait ... in any case, a guard watching could have stopped this, and/or the SuperMax move. imo

186 Well, there goes my theory. I thought all sides agreed, Mafia style, that no feathers would be ruffled if anything unfortunate were to happen to poor Mr. Epstein.

The guards badge in and out. Their movements are tracked. Whoever took him off suicide watch had to do it on record. Everyone's movements and actions have an audit trail, so if there was an agreement to let it happen each actor had to be assured that this wasn't a career-ender.

But that was based in part on no one being really outraged. Oh he's dead, too bad.

If Barr is really going to dig into this then I may be mistaken.

I think that there's a code of conduct these pedo/satanist types follow, like fight club. The first rule of pedo club is if you get caught, you take one for the team.

Just like your brah's take care of your hard drive for you (so I've heard) Epstein knew he had a clean-up crew take care of any loose ends.

And, if he didn't go through with it, he also knew there were plenty out there to make sure he did.

Don't make a common mistake thinking that all parents are like you - decent, caring and loving individuals. I've seen places when you can legally 'buy' people - guys, gals, kids, adults, anyone.

It would be interesting to learn the disposition of said estate. As far as I know, he never married and had no acknowledged children.

None of us know Dershowitz personally. Who knows what he's capable of?
Posted by: Harry Paratestes at August 10, 2019 05:13 PM (GBteo)

1. More attention = possibility of more money and 18 rather than 15 min. of fame.
2. Maybe they were not forced and over the age of consent at the time and feel guilty for being a slut.
3. Dershowitz declined and that pissed them off.
4. They are liars.
5. By that logic PDT killed all the dead illegals crossing the border because who knows what he is capable of.

359 There are three possibilities.


1) Epstein committed suicide, because the people running the prison are incompetent.

2) Epstein committed suicide, because the people running the prison let him/helped him.

3) Epstein did not committed suicide, and someone in the prison let him be murdered.

And if someone working there gets Arkanicided in the next couple of days we'll know the answer is not #1.

Posted by: 18-1


Actually, there are two more possibilities:

4) Epstein is not dead, his death was faked, and his compatriots have some how smuggled him out of prison and he is free as a bird. I think this is as likely as the first three.

5) The DoJ faked his death to smuggle him out of prison, and now he is in a DoJ Safe House somewhere, where he will re-appear when the trial is going on. I rate this one highly unlikely, but a possibility

Well, even then -- for example, in the state I currently reside, the age of consent is 16.

All you have to do is watch the videos of some of women who have come forward to tell their stories. They are older now, in their early 30s I guess, and almost all of them have some lingering emotional/psychological issues.

396 Mickey Kaus cited a guy on Twitter, who I think has the most plausible explanation of what Epstein was up to.

Epstein was a pedophile, who had access to lots of wealthy people, thanks to his career in private banking.

So, he decided to blackmail people by supplying them with underage women.

But to blackmail a billionaire by demanding a check every year for $20 million a year would be noticed, by the IRS if no-one else.

So, you demand that the guy invest a billion dollars in your offshore hedge fund. A standard hedge fund fee is 2% of assets invested, and 20% of profits, so the guy pays you at least $20 million a year, in a way that nobody notices.

You invest the money in something like an S&P 500 index fund - which explained why Epstein had no traders. It also explains why you aren't interested in new "normal" clients, who would ask why you are charging such high fees for just investing in index funds.

Makes sense.

Epstein (presumably) has more than enough money to go around, all they have to say is "he pimped me out to his friends, I didn't know their names" they payout shouldn't be any different.

I guess, theoretically, they could sue Epstein and Dershowitz separately, and maybe get a higher payout, but that's a legally risky move, especially if it's unproven / not true that they had sex with dershowitz.

Being abused and molested does not make children more experienced in life. It makes the more likely to be unable to find anyone to protect them when the predators come and tell them it is a good idea, and better than what they have known to date.

411 Okay, but lets flip this on it's head.

You're Dershowitz, hanging out with your buddy Jeff Epstein. Jeff says, "hey Alan, this girl that works for me is interest in you... I think you could probably hook up with her if you tried."

I mean ... I can see it happening.

And I imagine that's how MOST of this went down -- I doubt most of the guys involved realized that these girls were basically sex trafficked prostitutes that Epstein was pimping out to people all around the world.

There are some reports that Epstein set people up to black mail them and he made most of his money in that way.

So did he entrap people? Quite possible. The black book had two meanings.

414 Fourteen year old sexually active girls are not children.

Posted by: Braenyard



the fuck they aren't. they are children. their brains do not have a
frontal cortex which is the main decision making center. they cannot
possibly make an "adult" decision to have consensual sex with a 40-60 yo
man.



this is disgusting and I can't believe anyone would entertain the idea that a 14 yo girl is NOT a child.

A whole bunch of Doctors and parents feel that very young children are considered adults these days. That's why we are seeing more and more articles on children as young as 6 gender transitioning with the help of local Doctors, eager woke parents and hospitals.

So it was all voluntary by sexually experienced "women" (who aren't legally adults) out for some fun and money because Bill Clinton just has a way about him that appeals to teens, and every teen wants to have sex with a man old enough to be her grandfather and who likes to have threesomes? No coercion at all? No threats? No abuse? It was just all a little romp in the hay done by teens who loved every minute of it?

Epstein's death now means that ALL of his property can be searched since there's nobody with "standing" too challenge a search warrant. EVERYTHING will admissible without the possibility of a "motion to suppress" (by *anybody*).

Maybe we should distinguish between "child" -- which to me, generally means "kid who hasn't reached puberty and as of yet has no physical or psychological resemblance to an adult" -- and "minor", meaning "person not (yet) legally capable of making adult decisions, including, but not limited to, consent to sexual activity with another person."

Don't get your hair bun in a bunch. Whoops too late. Just guessing . Is your sexuality is fluid ?

490 14 year olds are not adults but they can be sexually active which is why the age of consent in most states is 16. However you can be charged with statutory rape if you are over a certain age if you have sex with someone 16-18. Neighbor had his 17 year old break up with his 15 year old girlfriend because of he feared this. Interestingly some states (Alabama I believe is one) still allow a 12 year old to get married provided parental consent is granted and for the balance of the states the ages qre 14-16 with parental consent. I heard a school in Tennessee a few years back tried to fire a track coach in his 40's for his relationship with a 16 year old female student who was a runner on the team. Couldn't because he married her, with parental consent. Epstein figured he'd never get out (a fair statement) so he decided to have the last laugh, especially after being attacked and knowing he'd fear this for the rest of his life. Pedophiles are not welcome in prison and bribing guards is cheap for a billionaire.

493 If Prince Andrew had done what he's being accused of in London it would've been legal due to their age of consent laws. Many US states still have 16 as the age of consent.
Posted by: Brian in New Orleans at August 10, 2019 05:51 PM (rnXGe)

Yep, pretty much every state I've lived in has had 16 as the age of consent.

As in a 70 year old could legally bang a 16 year old, no problem.

I don't know the laws in the UK, but it's not surprising to me that the age of consent there is 16.

506 I thought it very odd that the Feds recently saw fit to transfer a very elderly Whitey Bulger to a very insecure and violent prison in Hazelton, West Virginia. Bulger was 89 years old, in poor health, and being held in a prison in Florida.

The feds still won't say WHY they transferred Bulger, who was brutally murdered within days of his transfer. That murder is still unsolved.

Who was overseeing Whitey Bulger's use as an FBI informant in Boston while Bulger ran around killing people in Boston? Who knowingly sent four innocent men to prison for murders committed by Bulger?

Um, that would be Captain Integrity, Robert Mueller III.

That's all state specific. Age of consent in NH, for example is 16. Anyone can sleep with a 16 year old. There's like a 2 year "Romeo and Juliet" exception -- so 16 and 14 is okay, but 17 and 14 is statutory rape.

In CT, it's 16, with a pretty generous (IIRC 4 years) "Romeo and Juliet" exception -- so a 17 year old could sleep with a 13 year old, legally.

In VA, it's 18, and I don't think they have any "Romeo and Juliet" exception. So it would, theoretically, be illegal for an 18 year old to sleep with a 17 year old (I could be wrong on this, I haven't really researched this topic much.)

Anyways, varies wildly by state.

That said, once you cross a state line to engage in sex with a minor, federal laws come in to play.

If I had to guess (I haven't read this anywhere), he hanged himself with his sheets. That seems to be the way they do it in prison, usually.

So once he was off suicide watch, they would have given him bed sheets again and not just a plastic mattress to sleep on.

The area is a popular spot for bareboat charters and also a popular hangout for the crews of charted yachts when they aren't in service.

637 Jim McDougal was held in the Federal Medical Center prison in Fort Worth, Texas, a prison specifically designed to house inmates with potential health problems. FMC had doctors and medical teams on site 24/7/365.

Well, they did right up until two days before McDougal was to testify against the Clintons.

Then, for some odd reason, they yanked Jim McDougal's heart medication. Inmates in surrounding cells heard Jim repeatedly begging them to give him his pills. The guards refused.

When Jim eventually had his heart attack, it was discovered that absolutely no medical personnel were on staff. Yep, the "Medical Prison" had apparently accidentally sent all of their medical staff home for the day....

After Jim McDougal was good and dead, they called for an ambulance, and had his corpse transferred to John Peter Smith Hospital.

The Clinton Crime Family is very adept at having people whacked, even people who are supposedly in protective custody.

Either the cops got evidence they just couldn't ignore, or it was an effort to take down one of the powerful people involved. I wouldn't be at all surprised if this was a fishing expedition hoping to snare Trump.

Whalers used to be build right up the road from me when I lived in MA. In fact, the early ad of a guy in a Whaler that was sawed in half was taken right out in front of my old house. Now they make them in Florida.

Some of the new Zodiacs pretty sweet. A much more molded hull and the pontoons are much less prominent. Check out the N-ZOs.

A relative of mine got busted on a bogus DV charge and spent the weekend in jail. They didn't give him his heart medication either. From what I understand, they just kind of assume you can go a few days without your pills. If you can't, well, beds are in short supply.

As close as we saw to all of them getting sloppy was 2015/16 with things like Joe tweeting out pics of his friendship bracelet with a pizza charm on it. Comet pizza and all the instagram accounts. Podestas.


Even then, most of that evidence and the snooping came about because of Wikileaks. We never would have known about the other stuff, or even where to look. They were 100% sure Hillary was in, and who knows where society would be by 2024.


Sounds like Epstein slipped his bonds once because of them. But, he didn't wise up, kept up his arrogant ways. They simply cannot have one of their own potentially bringing down a higher up.

724 The conspiracy theory shouldn't be that Epstein was murdered. He had every reason to kill himself. The conspiracy is simply that he was allowed to attempt suicide and be successful.

The Clinton's aren't murderers, just lucky.

732 I've been lurking this site for... about a decade and never made a post before because I only posted on other sites. But now the gloves have completely come off by the webmasters of the world.

Reddit's shadowbanning has evolved to have so many gradations and manifestations you have no idea what's really going on. But important truths can no longer pick up momentum there like they could in 2016.

Google has now shadowbanned me from 4chan. They own Recaptcha and so now 4chan and every other site that uses Recaptcha will not let me post. I get 5, 6, 7 puzzles in a row, and finally it says "please try again".

And 8ch is dead.

What do I desperately want to share?

The El Paso shooter's dad is a member of the John of God cult that enslaved mothers to produce children that were smuggled into the US, Europe, and Australia - the dad helped rent storage space for the cult in Texas according to HIMSELF in a video and he's still selling his book promoting the cult.

Dayton shooter's parents worked for a company whose CEO was just previously working for DynCorp, a CIA front that shared a aircraft tail number with Epstein and were caught trafficking children in the past. Mom then got her new job with Bath and Body Works - owned by Les Wexler, the closest business partner of Epstein and the guy Epstein gave $47 million just before getting convicted the first (and now only) time.

This information is honestly not hard to find, especially that the El Paso dad was brainwashed by this cult and trained to use their technique on others. It's right there in chapter 5 of the free preview of this guy's book on Amazon. He's still promoting this book on his public business website. And yet the media are trying to fire up a race war and talking about 8/8 = Heil Hitler.

I'm sorry that I haven't organized the research that well, and that it's formatted for Reddit, not pastebin, and that there are more of my findings scattered around Reddit that apparently no one can see but anyway...

Here's the info on El Paso:

https://pastebin.com/fwSHAPZH

Here's the info on Dayton:

https://pastebin.com/AS9KvkMY

I personally know what it's liked to be raped by someone and then open the New York Times to see a full color picture of her smiling face above a glowing hagiography announcing that she won an election. I was a lefty before that.

I don't make any money spending hours and hours and hours trying to research and expose political rape conspiracies. I do it because I often can't sleep at night knowing how such big things can still be covered up. I do it because I can't stop sometimes, even when I think I should take a break.

I'm surrounded by books and a myth about a free press and all of the most important things I wish I could publish and share have been successfully suppressed.

And in the last week, the gloves have totally come off, as you probably know. Twitter, Reddit, Google, CloudFlare, and probably many more are acting like cornered beasts. The FBI is now applying the terrorist label to citizens like me who uncover TRUE information about conspiracies, even though I feel like I'm trying to *prevent* mass violence being provoked by propaganda, even though I've never touched a gun, even though I know the powers arrayed against me are far too well equipped for me to defeat them with violence.

Every post is a prayer now. I pray for justice and peace.

FBI carried out the raid and it seems to have been supervised by the U.S. Attorney's Manhatten Office, so I would assume one of them would have the evidence.

740 I'm surprised that they're now suddenly pushing this lie again. It's been debunked again and again, and I thought it had finally been laid to rest. Guess I was wrong.
------
Left/Prog/Libs/Dems are people completely bereft of things like character, integrity, morality, honesty. They lie, cheat, and misrepresent without any compunction whatsoever.

It used to be that the sundry media would point such things out, and the public shaming would drive them off of the stage. But now, both the media and a significant portion of the population are on board with 'everything is political', and they willingly act as the water carriers.

746 Good thing it was hot today. I don't have to feel guilty about staying indoors and following these threads.

Unfortunately, the book I had planned to read got sidelined. Maybe tonight.

Anyway, some questions (some of these have been raised already):

1) What was the age range of the girls?

2) Did they live on the island?

3) With time, little girls become big girls. What happened to them when they aged out? (This is gruesome, but I would search the island for graves.)

4) Yeah, how would they know who their "dates" were?

The estate angle is also interesting. Wonder whether he left a will. Probably everything will go to Planned Parenthood or a niece or nephew. Would you want to accept that money, knowing how it was made?

Frankly, I buy the suicide theory, especially after I read the details of the earlier attack. I think he realized that his life was going to be a continuous string of days, interrupted with bouts of painful violence. He decided to avoid that. When the guards were pulled off duty, he saw his opportunity.

That said, the witness security theory is fun to contemplate. Imagine Slick Willie's face when the hoax is revealed and Epstein resurfaces!

Posted by: ron n. at August 11, 2019 04:49 AM (om5HK)

763 Anyone who actually believes this was suicide has the IQ of a popsicle stick. Epstein was going to make a deal....he was going to sing and in return he'd get only 5 years at Club Fed. The
.Gov wanted him to testify against a lot of people....people who had the means, motivation and resources to have him killed. And that is exactly what happened.

Posted by: Dan at August 11, 2019 07:30 AM (QIZxi)

One wonders.

Posted by: Robert C Kincannon at August 11, 2019 08:05 AM (oEhuA)

765 IF someone didn't kill him, or have him killed he was allowed the means to kill himself with that hope in mind.As it is 99.99% of everyone who knew about the case knows he was either killed or allowed to die.We all thought the same thing when he was arrested, "This guy is gonna die before trial."

Posted by: obsidian at August 11, 2019 11:44 AM (7+yqP)

766 "He tried to kill himself three weeks ago."

Who verified that was a suicide attempt and not something more sinister?

Posted by: Random Thought Generator at August 11, 2019 10:48 PM (iOKfQ)

767 I agree with Sam Adams at #506:

Is AG Barr going to direct our tenacious and capable FBI to investigate how it came about that Whitey Bulger was transferred to a different prison (ummm, who ordered that? and why?) where he was "coincidentally" murdered within hours of his arrival?

'Cuz if Barr is demanding answers on Epstein, he should be demanding similar answers on Bulger -- right?

Egregious is egregious no matter WHO the victim is.
