Two jail guards arrested over Jeffrey Epstein suicide
[NYPOST] Two corrections officers tasked with guarding Jeffrey Want Some Candy, Little Girl? Epstein
...A high class pimp financier who was alleged to maintain a stable of underage whores sex slaves who were paid big bucks to entertain the rich and/or famous. He is a registered sex offender and made att least 17 out-of-court settlements with former members of his stable, with some cases still ongoing. 2011 court docs reveal that 21 email addresses and phone numbers for Bill Clinton and an aide were found in Epstein's electronic black book, and that Clinton frequently flew with Epstein on his private plane between 2002 to 2005. But really, they were probably just discussing finance or politix or something. While getting massaged. Then things got serious, Jeff was tossed in the slammer in New York and then he killed himself. Really. That's what happened...
at the time of his suicide have been arrested, sources said Tuesday.

The two officers will face charges related to accusations of falsifying prison records at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, where Epstein died on Aug. 10 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking.

Both guards were working overtime at the time of the financier’s death and allegedly failed to check on Epstein every half-hour as they were required to do. The charges stem from the duo falsifying forms to claim they’d carried out the required check-ins.

They will appear in Manhattan federal court later Tuesday.

While the city medical examiner ruled the pedophile’s hanging death a suicide, a forensic pathologist hired by his brother Mark Epstein has said his autopsy was more consistent with homicidal strangulation.

The 66-year-old multimillionaire was placed on suicide watch after he was found with marks on his neck on July 23 but was removed from the monitoring a week before his death.

Federal prosecutors offered the corrections officers plea deals, the News Agency that Dare Not be Named previously reported, but the officers turned them down.

The warden of the MCC, Lamine N’Diaye, was also reassigned in the wake of Epstein’s death, pending an investigation.

#6  accusations of falsifying prison records

What is the penalty for that? A bit of googling suggests a couple years. Being corrections officers, I guessing they get stashed somewhere special so as not to interact with the GenPop. Time off for good behavior. Maybe not a bad price for a big payday. Gotta keep your mouth shut though. Otherwise, it's Epsteins all the way down...

#7 The arrests fît a story that gives a thin figleaf to the suicide lié. They quickly bail out and months go by as they are on admin leave and then the charges change to something prearranged and convincing for all concerned. Voilà a cold trail assuma conspiracy theory status and can be dismissed as right wing crackpot nonsense. Think they have a sweet deal somewhere, follow the money if you can and discover the truth when you hit the powerful roadblocks.

#8 Any pix of the jailers - I'm asking because "Tova" is an Israeli name?

I thought that was curious, but among a certain US subpopulation, naming conventions are very creative.

#13 We don't have any time for this 'story' any more than three years ago. Too busy covering the 2016 election re-do.
