What's up everyone? And welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. Keeping with the theme for the day, let's talk some more about Jeffrey Epstein's death. While he was in custody, the judge who was overseeing everything, he actually called the death of Jeffrey Epstein within the jail unthinkable. And he called for prison reform. Have we seen any of that prison reform though? Have we seen any steps taken to fix what's going on here? Of course we haven't. It's all lip service. All of these elected officials who are in charge of administering the Federal Bureau of Prisons have a lot of answering to do. And it's not just people like me who are saying it's when you have a federal judge like Judge Berman coming out and saying the same exact thing, it's pretty damning for the Bureau of Prisons. But they, they don't care. They just can continue on the path they've been on, doing whatever they want, not fixing the obviously broken system. And we continue to have big time issues. But there is no way in hell that Jeffrey Epstein should ever have been left alone, should have ever been in a cell with Tartaglioni, and should have ever been able to take life. So let's see what Judge Berman has to say about this. This article was published by CNBC and this article was Originally published in 2019. Headline judge and Jeffrey Epstein Case says Jail Death Was unthinkable calls for prison reform. Now, Remember, this is 2019, and this is a judge who has been dealing with the prison system, obviously every day of his life. And he knows it's broke. He knows things aren't working right. He knows it's not being administered correctly, but he can't do anything. All he could do is call for investigations. And if the federal government doesn't go through with that, well, it's on them, right? This article was authored by Dan Mangan. The federal judge who oversaw Jeffrey Epstein's child sex trafficking case, says it's unthinkable that any jail inmate, let alone one with such a high profile as Epstein, would die in custody as the wealthy investor pedophile did this summer. And he's not wrong. If you're in prison or you're in jail, there should be at least a certain level of security. I mean, it can't be a free for all in there where inmates are, you know, running the asylum. What is this, El Salvador? Judge Berman also is calling reforms to be carried out in the US Prison system in light of Epstein's death in a Manhattan federal jail, which authorities have ruled was a suicide by hanging. And again, they sure rule that quickly, huh? Yeah. That is a hanging. Come on. What are you guys, crazy? There's no way. The most secure jail in the world. And Bill Barr told us that nobody could have gotten into this jail. Okay, sure. Berman, in a letter to the New York Times, said the indictment last week of two guards, two guards there for allegedly covering up their failure to check on Epstein in his cell in the hours before he died Aug. 10 is not the full accounting to which Mr. Epstein's family, his alleged survivors and the public are entitled. 100%. Judge Berman was calling for the same things. I'm calling for more transparency. And how is it that these guards got off with a slap on the wrist? And it's not even just them I'm concerned with. What about their supervisor? Who is the supervising sergeant on duty at the time? And why hasn't that person been brought up and put under oath? Why haven't these two been put under oath? Furthermore, where are all of these people that were involved? Anyone hear anything about these people lately? Probably off enjoying their new dough on some island somewhere. It would be a tragic and costly missed opportunity for the Bureau of Prisons and the United States Attorney General William Barr to fail to undertake and to make public an in depth evaluation of prison conditions not only at MCC and to carry out appropriate reforms, wrote Berman, who serves in U S District Court in Manhattan. So again, relying on William Barr to fix this is like relying on a crack addict to keep an eye on your crack stash. It's not going to happen. William Barr is honestly one of the most devious players on the stage. I remember when he was brought on by Trump and all of Trump's supporters were going batshit thinking that they had the right guy. Finally, well, I told them then that this dude was no good and I continue to believe that. Just another cog in the system, right? Just another Borg who's part of the hive mind. And furthermore, anyone who was involved with the Bush regime I have serious questions about. We all agree that it is unthinkable that any detainee, let alone a high profile detainee like Mr. Epstein was, would die unnoticed at the Metropolitan Correctional center, wrote Burman in his letter to the Times. It is the job of the Bureau of Prisons to ensure the safety and security of federal inmates. Pretty basic stuff. Right now they can't guarantee everybody's safety in lockup. That's crazy. But somebody like Epstein, he shouldn't be left alone. He shouldn't be put in a cell with Tartaglioni. And I don't want to hear, oh, the video's gone. If something happens, Berman added, there is that. There is the very least anecdotal evidence that chronic understaffing, subpar living conditions, violence, gang activity, racial tension and the prevalence of drugs and contraband are the norms in many of our prisons. Well, that's never going to change. You put a bunch of people who are up to no good in a confined space like that and you're going to have people who want to fight. People are going to sell drugs and, and it's going to be its own society. Basically all you can do is manage that and maintain it and make sure logistically you're not putting inmates in harm's way if you can help it. These conditions are worsened by the absence of necessary services, including mental health and drug rehabilitation, not to mention adequate heat and hot water, he wrote. So you got a jail cell where things are bad. There is no denying that things at the MCC are horrible. These lockups are roach infested, rat infested dumps. But guess what? If you're messing around and you're in custody, this should be all the motivation you need to never come back. At least Berman's office said the judge was unavailable to talk to CNBC on Tuesday about his letter. A spokeswoman for the Justice Department, which is headed by Barr did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Now we're going all the way back to 2009, folks. I mean, 2019, where this judge is basically demanding accountability and he's being ignored as well. Is Judge Berman a conspiracy theorist as well? That's my question to all of these blue check mark loudmouths running around like they know what they're talking about. Meanwhile, all of their publications are crashing, all of them are crying about how little money they're making. And I'm over here playing the world's smallest violin saying, you shouldn't have been lying to people forever. And remember, lies of omission are still lies. A Bureau of Prison spokeswoman declined to comment, but pointed to testimony that Bureau of Prisons Director Kathleen Hawk Sawyer gave last week to the Senate Judiciary Committee, which detail the agency's efforts to address problems in the prison system. And that's worked out so well. Look at how many of those issues have been addressed, folks, in the three years since. Oh, wait, none of them have been addressed. Oh, that's right. We still have inmates breaking out. We still have all kinds of chaos and bedlam and no accountability. Epstein, 66, was arrested in July on charges of trafficking dozens of underage girls from 2002 through 2005 so that he could sexually abuse them at his residences in Manhattan and Palm Beach. You know, the same places where all of his friends went to hang out. Guys like, you know, guys like George Stepanopoulos, people like Katie Couric, you know, all the loudmouths in the, in the journalism world who think they're better than you. Yeah, those folks.

the case made international headlines due to Epstein's past friendships with Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton and Britain's Prince Andrew, Epstein's vast wealth and a previous sex crimes case involving a minor girl in Florida, where He served just 13 months in jail beginning in 2008. It's been a travesty since day one, and people wonder why everyone's upset and demanding accountability here. Berman denied Epstein Bell following his most recent arrest, saying he represented a potential danger to new victims from what seemed to be his uncontrollable sexual fixation on young girls, as well as the flight risk that he posed days after that bell denial. On July 23, Epstein found semi unconscious on the floor of his cell at MCC with marks around his neck. He was briefly placed on suicide watch and then placed on psychological watch for several days. So we just previously talked about this in another episode about what happened in that jail cell without the footage. This is what this is exactly what Judge Berman is talking about and in this article. But within a week, he was restored to what was supposed to be routine monitoring, with other inmates being held in a special unit for prisoners who either are at risk from the general jail population or who pose a risk to others. Seems to me those type of oil and water there, right? You shouldn't have those people in the same unit, different wing for people who are at risk. Federal prosecutors last week said that two MCC guards, Michael Thomas and Tova Noel, failed to conduct schedule headcounts on all inmates in that special housing unit or do other required rounds for up to eight hours before Epstein was found dead. Instead, prosecutors charged Thomas and Noel browsed the Internet, strolled around the common area in the unit and appeared to sleep for about two hours. Yeah, nothing shady there. No more investigations needed. We'll just drop the charges against them and let them take a plea agreement. The more I think about that, the more shady it becomes. In fact, this whole thing is as shady as anything has ever been and we still have no answers. All we have is people out here in the legacy media doing everyone a disservice by not going hard in the paint against the people they should be going against. That means the people in power. Instead, they spend their time calling you conspiracy theorists and then they'll come and beg for you to give them five bucks a month or whatever to subscribe to their stupid ass rag where they're demeaning you. Sounds like a good business model to me. Don't you think those resources would be better spent trying to figure out what happened here during Jeffrey Epstein's death? Sure seems like the better way to spend your money and the better way to spend your resources. But then again, they might actually get to some answers, and we all know not many people want those.
