Tyler redick here from 2311 racing another checkered flag for the books. Time to celebrate with Chumba. Jump in@chumbacasino.com let's Chumba. No purchase necessary BTW Group void where prohibited by law. CTNCS21+ sponsored by Chumba Casino OVA Noel and Michael Thomas, the two guards that were on duty when Jeffrey Epstein died while in custody of the federal government, have had their trial moved to a later date. Now, originally, this trial was set to start on June 22nd of 2020, but then it was moved to January 4th, 2021. Now, if you remember, Montel Figgins, the lawyer in the case, had a pretty heated exchange with the judge, Annalisa Torres, about the trial date that was originally put forth because his family had a trip scheduled to Italy. So him and the judge had a pretty heated exchange and it was over the trial date. Well, that date of June 22nd of 2020 was then moved to January 4th, 2021. Now, is it because of the exchange between Mr. Figgins and the judge? I don't know. But the fact is they did have that exchange. And the lawyer had family obligations when the trial was originally slated, according to him. So I seen it today in the article there. It was saying that the trial was Originally scheduled for January 4th. But I knew that I had read something that it was earlier than that, the original, original trial. And it was. It was June 22nd. So this trial has been moved now once, twice, three times. And I'm not too sure what the reasoning is behind it, besides the fact that obviously we have the COVID situation that they can use as an excuse to try and move things. Or could something be happening behind the scenes, Some sort of. Maybe some sort of deal being made or maybe the case is being broadened. Maybe somebody else who works for the prison systems who was there that night. Like, what do you know, Maybe they're like, supervisor is also being charged. I don't know. Right. Who knows what the hell is going on with the justice system? But we've seen them move this date several times already. So I'm not surprised that it gets moved once again. And I've seen some people talk about how, you know, it's being moved for all sorts of reasons that have to do with the election and stuff like that. And I highly doubt that's occurring. I mean, maybe, but I highly doubt that that is what's behind this. Usually what's happening is there's other things happening behind the scenes. Other things are being exposed. There are. There is New information being brought to light. One side or the other asks for more time to defend themselves. You know how it goes. We're talking about federal trials here. At this point, with all we have learned about federal trials, we should not be shocked to see things like this occur. And it's not like these folks were in jail. They've been out on a hundred thousand dollar bond, so they haven't been in jail this whole time. It's not like they were released from jail and you know, they're out walking the streets as some sort of menace. That's not the case. The trial was moved back for whatever reasons that the court and the defense came up with. And in our article tonight from Law and Crime, hopefully it will give us some more context as to the reasoning behind it. But, but if not, if we don't truly see the big picture after the article tonight and after, you know, the first batch of information about this trial being moved coming out, then at the very least, at the very least, what we will have here is that more to the story to go on, right? More pieces to add to the puzzle. And it's just one of those situations with these kinds of federal cases where you just, you never know. I mean, one thing I have learned following the few federal cases that I've followed throughout the years that have been of interest to me and then now, especially with this case, is you never know what kind of twister turn it's going to take. The federal judicial system is just one chaotic crazy roller coaster. And that's just if you're observing it. I can't even imagine being charged with federal crimes and having to navigate all of this madness. So let's jump into our article from Law and Crime and see if it could add a little bit of context to the story. This article was authored by Colin Kalmbacher. Prison guards who are on duty the night Jeffrey Epstein died get trial pushed back by almost a year. And again, when we don't have any context to it, it makes you say wtf? What's going on here? Why is this pushed back? Back again, the third time now this is getting pushed back again. What is the reasoning behind it? And of course we'll never get that from the courts, right? They'll leave it up to us to speculate. They'll leave it up to the news to speculate and then they'll talk. There's conspiracy theories running rampant. Well, that's because you morons aren't giving anybody any information. Two federal corrections officers whose apparent laziness made Jeffrey Epstein's death behind bars, possible last summer, have had their trial pushed back to next summer. And when this all happened, and these two were indicted for their laziness and their dereliction of duty, and. And really for falsifying the reports, I said that. How is it only these two who were in trouble now? Of course they should shoulder their responsibility, their share of the responsibility, right? But what about their boss? What about their boss's boss who was in charge of the whole entire operation that night? Whatever happened to the buck stops here? When I worked in the corporate world, I was a manager. And even if I was on vacation, if one of my supervisors messed up, I had to answer for it. You mean to tell me that's not the case in the Bureau of Prisons? Indicted last November, 31 year old Tova Noel was charged with five counts of making false entries in official records, while 46 year old Michael Thomas was charged with three counts of falsifying records. Each guard was also charged with one count of conspiracy. And the conspiracy charge is them working in coordination with each other to cover up their alleged crimes. Now, I think that's pretty interesting, considering we're talking about conspiracy as a whole with the case in general. Right? So if Michael Thomas and Tova Noel are charged with conspiracy, then Ghislaine Maxwell and whoever else gets arrested related to the criminal enterprise, they also must be charged with conspiracy, right? Originally slated for January 4, 2021, their trial is now scheduled to begin on June 14, 2021. Again, it was originally June 22, 2020, and then it was moved back after the heated discussion between Figgins and the judge, Annelise Torres. Or is it Sanchez? One or the other. Anyway, after that heated debate, it was moved back to January 4th. And then now today we're. We're hearing it's moved back all the way to 2021. Now, June 14, a year and a week after both Noel and Thomas turned down a plea bargain last November, essentially guaranteeing that they would be prosecuted over the prisoner's death, which was widely criticized as an unkept miscarriage of justice that occurred on their watch. And again, I am 100% behind them, facing justice for their role in the negligence. Right, and if there is more there, they were involved in something else, looking the other way, letting this man get clipped, whatever it may be, then fine. Charge them. Uh, let's have a trial and let's see what happens. But my point is, what about their bosses? How is it only them who are in trouble? Why is it always the low hanging Fruit. Why do they always go after the interchangeable parts? It's never the big wig, right? How many bankers went to prison after the financial meltdown? Yeah, I know. None. And that's the problem. These people never go to prison. These people never go to jail. The infamous death of the notorious, wealthy and well connected accused child sex trafficker for the global and political elite immediately sparked conspiracies that Epstein didn't kill himself. And again, I don't think this is some far out conspiracy, right? This isn't like Flat Earth or the Sasquatch or Reptilians or anything like that, okay? There's a lot of shit that led up to this man's death that is unexplained and is unexplainable with the official narrative that they parroted out and thought that we were going to buy hook, line and sinker. A lot of things that cannot be explained. The cameras. The camera focused on the wrong cell and filming during the first assault, putting him in jail with Tartaglioni. Look, there is just so much that does not add up. And then the icing on the cake is Barr expecting us to believe that because he saw the videos that everything was kosher, Everything's on the up and up and nobody should have any other questions. That's what they wanted us to believe. So this isn't some weird far out conspiracy, okay? This is a serious question. This is serious negligence. This is a serious breach in security and the public deserves answers. Noel, officially employed as a guard and Thomas officially employed as as a materials handler. Were working an overtime shift the night Epstein died. Why would a materials handler be guarding a prisoner? Oh, I know what they'll say. We were over. We overworked, we understaffed, we didn't have enough people to cover all of the shifts. The. That's such. Tyler redick here from 2311 Racing, Victory Lane. Yeah, it's even better with Chumba by my side. Race to chumbacasino.com let's Chumba. No purchase necessary VTW Group void where prohibited by law CTNCs21+ Sponsored by Chumba Casino Hire more people. Train more people. You don't have an on call board. You have a materials handler safeguarding one of the most important inmates in the federal prison system. Whose idea was that? That's criminal in itself. Whoever put that person into this shift, whoever put Thomas into this shift, they should be charged as well. At the very least, their prisoner had reportedly attempted suicide weeks before and had recently been taken off suicide watch by prison Officials and at the Metropolitan Correctional center in Lower Manhattan. Now let's hear that again and let it sink in and tell me how it makes sense. Their prisoner had reportedly attempted suicide weeks before. Okay, so he attempted suicide, now he's on suicide watch, obviously. Right. But had recently been taken off suicide watch by prison officials. If he supposedly had attempted suicide weeks before, why would you take them off suicide watch? None of it makes sense. Vanguard with your conspiracy theories. According to the indictment, Noel Thomas and at least two other guards failed to perform numerous jail wide checks on the night of August 9th and early morning of August 10th, 2019. So that's interesting, right? Two other guards. We've only heard about one other guard though. So the plot thickens. In addition to that failure, prosecutors alleged Noel falsified records on over 75 separate occasions that claim she and Thomas had completed their rounds in the jail's special housing unit between midnight and 6:30am so Tova, Noel falsified records on over 75 separate occasions for one shift. That is an enormous amount of paperwork for a materials handler to be handling. None of this makes sense, folks. Okay, why was there a materials handler minding Jeffrey Epstein? I think that's the most important thing to come out of all of this. I think that's what people should be looking at cross eyed. Not the fact that the trial date got moved. Again, that's typical for federal cases and obviously in this case especially, but the fact that we had somebody who wasn't a trained prison guard minding one of the most important prisoners in the system. Now that if that doesn't ring the alarm bells, I don't know what will. As Law and Crime previously reported, in excess of 20 other corrections officers were subpoenaed by the grand jury investigating the well connected pedophile financier's death. It is currently unknown whether any additional guards will be charged or if the unnamed guards referenced in the Noel Thomas indictment cooperated with the prosecution in exchange for leniency. Again, we don't know much, right? We only have what has been released yet. We haven't seen any other indictments so far in this case. But we do know 20 other corrections officers were subpoenaed and I'm guessing spoke under oath about what they know. So it'll be interesting as this goes down the pathway, as this continues to develop, what happens but what it looks like from where I'm sitting. And again, remember, I'm not a lawyer, right? Your average run of the mill moron, that's all. But when they're Moving these cases like this, usually something is making them do that, right? There's something behind it. And with all of these people who have come forward and been subpoenaed, you would think some of them are. Are possibly working with the prosecution and there might be other indictments coming in this case. So therefore they're looking to move the trial to a later date. Again, speculation on my part, but Occam's Razor and all. During the night instead of. This is from the indictment, by the way. Excuse me. During the night, instead of completing the required count and rounds, Tova, Noel and Michael Thomas, the defendants, were seated at the correctional officer's desk in the shoe common area, which the indictment notes is approximately 15ft from Epstein's cell, used the computers and moved around the shoe common area for a period of approximately two hours. Noel and Thomas sat at their desks without moving and appeared to have been asleep. So they were approximately 15ft from Jeffrey Epstein. And we're to believe that they just happened to fall asleep that night? When he planned to kill himself after looking for motorcycles and other things on the computer, after the cameras didn't work, after he was taken off of suicide watch, after allegedly already attempting suicide. We're supposed to believe that these guards that were 15ft from Epstein's cell saw nothing, heard nothing, know nothing. Alright. Okay. The indictment goes on to accuse Noelle of using the computer periodically through the night, not for official duties, but to search the Internet for furniture sales and benefit websites. You know, I can't even really talk too much shit about that. I know as a manager, obviously not safeguarding any prisoners, I searched for all kinds of wild shit on the computer when I was bored. But this is a different story here, right? I know most of us out there who work in a corporate environment or who work in an office have sat around and searched the Internet when they were bored. But you weren't watching Jeffrey Epstein, right? That wasn't what your charge was. You weren't there to make sure these prisoners were safeguarded. These people really shouldn't have been looking for motorcycles and furniture and all that other shit, right? They should have been doing their jobs. They most definitely should face whatever penalties come their way for their dereliction of duty. But should they be the only people charged here? Should they be the only ones facing felony criminal charges? I, for one, most certainly think that other people should be held accountable as well. Public interest in the Epstein case had reached a fever pitch in the weeks leading up to his death, after he was indicted and imprisoned for allegedly running a global sex trafficking scheme that implicated numerous elites in politics, business and the arts. Survivors of Epstein's years long underage sex enterprise had finally held out hope that they would get their long denied day in court after the U.S. attorney's office for the Southern District of Miami seemingly intentionally botched their own prosecution of Epstein in 2008. And again, the writing is on the wall for the prosecutors from Florida, right? It's rather obvious that at the very least they were negligent in how they prosecuted that original case. And at the very worst, they worked in coordination with Jeffrey Epstein's lawyers to sully the name of those girls and in turn get Jeffrey Epstein the sweetheart deal that he received. Those hopes were dashed when the high profile prisoner was found with a noose around his neck on the morning of August 10. As alleged, the defendants had a duty to ensure the safety and security of federal inmates in their care at the Metropolitan Correctional center, said then U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, Jeffrey Berman in a press release. Instead, they repeatedly failed to conduct mandated checks on inmates and lied on official forms to hide their dereliction. Attorneys for the defendants have argued that their clients are being scapegoated for what was allegedly an institutional failure. And again, I agree with that 100%. The whole entire institution is corrupt from the top and corroded from the top. It needs to be fixed. It really does. What goes on in these prisons is an absolute joke. There's only two people charged, but for this to happen, the whole system had to fill. Montel Figgins Thomas lawyer previously argued, based on our view of the case, I believe there are outside circumstances that are impacting this prosecution. Noel's attorney Jason Foy said. And look, I get it right, who knows what sort of pressure is being put on and who is behind the scenes making moves and attempting to cover things up. You know how it goes. Some of these bosses in these correctional facilities, you know that they don't want to be held responsible for what happened here, whoever the lieutenant was and you know, his boss. So who knows what sort of institutional coverup is underway. But I'll tell you this much, it does not look good for the government, it does not look good for the Bureau of Corrections, and it most assuredly does not look good for Bill Barr and his Justice Department when this sort of thing is occurring to these sort of high profile prisoners. And then you add to the fact that the only people who are being charged are these two guards and it really doesn't pass the smell test, certainly not for me. So what I've taken from this bit of news that we got here. This whole entire situation is going to take quite a bit of time to unfold. There are a lot of things that are going on behind the scenes it would look like that we don't even know about. And especially in a case like this where it has to do with the union, the corrections officers union, you know that there's not going to be much coming out into the public sphere. So we'll stay on top of it, we'll follow whatever happens here. And if new news has happens to break in regards to these two guards who are now facing felonies, we will definitely be all over it. But I think that the biggest takeaway for me here is the fact that Thomas is a materials handler and he is guarding one of the most high profile inmates in the whole entire system. I think is just an absolute look at how screwed up the whole entire system is. This man had no business looking out for Jeffrey Epstein's well being inside of this prison. Trained guards should have been watching Jeffrey Epstein. Tyler redick here from 2311 racing another checkered flag for the books. Time to celebrate with Chumba.

Alright everybody. This article was published by the Daily News and the author of this piece is Stephen Rex Brown. Headline Correctional officers who slept while Jeffrey Epstein hanged himself allegedly planned to slam federal prison system at trial. Two federal correctional officers who neglected their duties while Jeffrey Epstein killed himself allegedly inside a troubled lower Manhattan jail, planned to defend themselves as scapegoats for a deeply dysfunctional system. Had they gone on trial, sources told the Daily News, and this is the exact strategy I would have used if I was them. Sure I'm an asshole for falsifying the logs. Sure I'm a dick for not checking on Jeffrey Epstein. But where's my boss? Where's the supervisor? Where's the manager on duty? If there has to be a manager on duty at the casino, how come there's not a manager on duty in the jailhouse? So this was definitely the proper way to go about this for these folks. I would have done, again, I would have done the same exact thing. I would have yelled from every mountaintop that I could have gotten to about how broken and corrupt the system is. And that's what they did. And once the prosecutors got an earful of what these folks were going to dish, they couldn't offer that plea deal any quicker. I bet you. I bet you whoever wrote the pre. Deal, the. The. The plea deal has carpal tunnel in their wrist now from writing it so quickly. This is the last thing the federal government needed. Tova Noel and Michael Thomas reached a deferred prosecution agreement from Manhattan federal prosecutors last Tuesday, admitting they falsely filled out paperwork certifying they'd conducted required rounds and inmate headcounts at the Metropolitan Correctional center in the hours before Epstein was found dead in his cell early on August 10, 2019. So the prosecution's like, you know what? Let's give these guys, these folks, a deferred sentence. Let's try and sweep this shit under the rug. And we know the legacy media will be on board with it. Oh, sure, they'll report it, but it'll get lost in the news cycle the next. Well, they didn't expect you folks to show up to the party to ruin it. They didn't expect you folks to show up banging pots and pans and screaming for justice. Well, you're here, and now they're gonna have to deal with it. And the sweeping things under the rug, the killing cases and all of the other jazz that they've been so used to doing for so long, well, it is all on display now. People have been locked in their homes. People have had time to focus on what's really going on. And if the emails I have received from the audience out here is any indication, the people are pissed. Sources close to the pair, as well as insiders at the Metropolitan Correctional center, offered possible reasons why the feds backed off the case. The sources said falsification of documents is common at the jail and throughout the Bureau of Prisons. So if that is true, according to this source, it is. If that is true, then if they would have put these two on trial, it would have exploded in their face. Everything would have been outed. Everybody would have known, and people would have had an idea of just how broken and corrupt this shit really is. But yet they'll tell you it was a perfect storm of things going wrong that night that Epstein died, as if this thing was a perfectly running machine. As if there's nobody within the system here that is above being a scumbag. Meanwhile, the guards are telling you here, the sources are telling you here that everybody's doing this, falsifying records and the rest of it. So if that is the case, the inspector general, somebody needs to do an investigation. And if it means firing every single person that's engaged in that, then that's what needs to happen. I don't understand the problem here, folks. If you're not good at your job, you get fired. That's how the real world works. I don't understand how these people avoid responsibility over and over again. One source described falsely filling out paperwork as closer to a norm than an anomaly in federal lockups. That's absolutely disgusting. And it's not like these people are making peanuts. They're making decent money. So if you're gonna be some kind of scuzzball, right, you don't want to do your gig, whatever it may be. Guarding prisoners is probably not the place for you. Serious job that should be done by serious people. And if it takes paying people serious wages more than they're being paid, then so be it. We waste tax dollars on a bunch of dumbass shit. Now we're worried about wasting tax dollars. Now everybody wants to tighten the belt. Y' all seen the debt clock running lately? That ship has sailed. Tyrone Covington, a correctional officer who serves as a union rep at the Metropolitan Correctional center, is said lack of staff at the jail makes doing the job completely by the book impossible. Hire more people. How many unemployed people are there out there? Hire and train. Hire and train. Hire and train. Pretty simple. Offer people a good job, good wages, a pension, and a workplace where they show up and they don't want to just go crazy because management is inefficient and maybe more people will want to work. The narrative going around trying to pin all of this unemployment and people not want to work all on the employees is absolute bullshit, by the way. I'm not going to get too deep into that right here, but on the the new podcast, we're going to talk about that evolving. These facilities are severely understaffed. You have to figure out what you're going to do. There are some decisions sometimes you have to make that are just not following through with the policy. The manpower doesn't allow you to do it. Said Covington, president of the American Federation of Government Employees Local 3148. But at the same time, and while I believe that that's probably the case and that's probably true, what's the excuse for falling asleep at work? I mean, come on, sleeping at work? Maybe a handful of jobs on the whole planet where that's acceptable. Never mind in a federal lockup where you're supposed to be watching out for these inmates, you're going to sleep. He noted that supervisors are also supposed to file paperwork certifying they made rounds. Bingo. What have I been saying from the jump? Nobody wanted to talk about that. But there's accountability in a bureaucracy, at least on paper. You don't just have the prison guards in charge. It's just like the Acosta situation. It wasn't Acosta who made that deal. Part of it, but he wasn't the only one. And it's the same rings true here. You think it was just these two guards who were in charge of the whole. The whole thing? No way. There were supervisors, there were managers, and there were other people who should have been held responsible. The federal government never did that. And they tried to lay it all in the laps of these two low level knuckleheads, but these two weren't having it. They fought back. Oh, you want to lay it in our lap? We're gonna play whistleblower and expose the whole entire operation. So go ahead and do it. If you're going to charge Noel and Thomas, you have to charge the whole system, because the whole system is broken. Covington added, he's not wrong. He's not wrong. The whole system is broken. You'll never get that argument from me saying it's, it's great. Oh, we have a great justice system. It's very fair and balanced. No, literally, none of that's the case. So you'll never get that argument from me. It is broken. But that's not the point here. Right? The point is this is the system that is in place, and we need to shine a light on how broken it is if we're ever going to get any results of fixing that shit. Prosecutors said Noel, 32, and Thomas, 43, were caught on camera sleeping on the job for two hours the night the pedophile sex offender hanged himself while awaiting trial for trafficking of minors. But a supervisor in the Metropolitan Correctional Center's control center had access to that camera footage and could have seen them snoozing or otherwise failing to do their jobs, the source said. Bingo again, folks. It's you know, almost like I had a premonition that this was going to come out. At this point, it was rather obvious to me what they were doing and what the government was up to. Once you have a little bit of an idea of how the government works, it's not too hard to navigate their bullshit. Oh, they won't cut a plea deal with the local pot dealer, but these two, oh, yeah, let's cut a plea because we'll look like assholes. Meanwhile, the pot dealer, the father of three, the guy trying to make a living for himself. I don't care if you agree with him selling pot or not. That's not the point I'm making. The point is this guy gets thrown in jail for 25 years. Now, his children come from a broken home, and it reverberates throughout the whole, entire, entire community. You see the problem here? You see where I'm. Why I'm always going off the rails? It's not justice. Prosecutors say Epstein was unmonitored for eight hours before he was found dead in his cell, Although he declined to go into detail. Montel Figgins, a lawyer for Thomas, said we were going to put the whole system on trial. Boy, I wish they would have done that. I really wish they would have taken this right all the way down to the end and put the whole damn thing on trial. They should have out all of these scuzz bags, out the whole entire system for what it is. Corrupt. Noelle's attorney, Jason Foy, said his client is grateful for the government's decision to not prosecute her. As part of their agreement, Noelle and Thomas will meet with the justice department's office and of his inspector general, which is investigating Epstein's death. Oh, well, rest calmly, folks. Be assured that everything's gonna be fine. The intern, the attorney general. I mean, the inspector general is on the case. Yeah, because the inspector general is such a fantastic part of the solution, Right? They can't even drop indictments on anybody. They're like a hall monitor. Oh, I'm gonna call the hall monitor to investigate if you are chewing gum. Give me a break. Tyler redick here from 2311 Racing. Another checkered flag for the books. Time to celebrate with Chumba. Jump in@chumbacasino.com. let's Chumba. No purchase necessary BTW group void where prohibited by law. CTNC21+ sponsored by Chumba Casino. Mark Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein's brother, said he has questions about the death. He said he is still bothered by inconsistencies in the government's Account of the suicide. Can't disagree with that. Honestly, as much as I don't want to agree with Mark Epstein, he's not wrong. There are a lot of inconsistencies here and still no answers. Oh, we've been BS'd. Oh, we've been gaslit. No answers. Though a prominent forensic pathologist hired by Mark Epstein concluded Jeffrey Epstein could have died by strangulation, not suicide by hanging. Since Michael Thomas found my brother, I want to know what position my brother was in. How did he find him? Mark Epstein said, again, good questions. This is all stuff that should have been made public. But we had that scumbag Bill Barr in charge of everything, and he don't want to. He's not a friend of transparency. Then he leaves, Merrick Garland shows up. You think Merrick Garland is a friend of transparency? Stop it right now. He's not. Just another part of the problem from where I'm sitting, folks. A spokesman for the Southern District of New York declined to comment. The Bureau of Prisons did not respond to an inquiry. The dysfunction at the Metropolitan Correctional center alarmed then Attorney General William Barr, who described after Epstein's death a perfect storm of screw ups. Oh, yeah, that's exactly what it is. Just a bunch of coincidences that all happened to happen the same time, the same channel, the same place. I mean, if people want to believe that. I'm not gonna sit here and try and convince anybody of anything. That's not my job. My job is not to convince anybody of anything. I'm here to talk about this story from my perspective, from what I see. So if you want to believe Bill Barr, you want to believe that Merrick Garland is a knight in white, knight in white shining armor. Hey, go for it. I'm not here to change your mind. Guess what? Because people have their minds made up already. Nobody is interested in changing their mind at this point. The jail's reputation has only worsened since then. In February 2020, a gun was smuggled into the jail. No one has been arrested for the grave security breach. The following month, Manhattan Federal Judge Richard Berman said it was an outrage that Barr had not addressed conditions at the jail and other federal lockups. Oh, so just bar, though, right? We're not gonna talk about the. The current administration. I want accountability from everybody, okay? That means the people in charge now, well, they're accountable. So if you're gonna try and gaslight me and try the, well, the previous administration, I don't care. Because we can go back, what, seven administrations if we want to play that game. The Point is, the whole system's effed. And all these assholes, these politicians, they aren't really the problem. They. They're a symptom of the problem. In January, the warden who took over after Epstein's suicide allegedly resigned after a year on the job. Under her tenure, the jail faced criticism for an inadequate response to the coronavirus pandemic. A lawsuit revealed that paperwork on inmates requests for medical attention during the pandemic was being shredded. Fantastic facility, huh? Isn't that great? The United States of America, virtue signal extraordinaire. Telling everybody else how they should live their lives, how they should run their country. And we have a federal lockup that's shredding inmates requests for medical. Isn't that nice? Again, I'm not going to sit here and act like everybody in prison's an animal who deserves to be treated like shit, because that is not the case. I want the prison system to work. I want it to be a place where people go, and it's certainly not a joyride, but where people can go and rehabilitate themselves, because what we're doing right now is not working. The jail is now on its third interim warden. In March, Bureau of Prisons Director Michael Carvajal was hammered during a testimony before a House of Representatives subcommittee for the agency's response to the pandemic. You and your staff are incompetent and should be fired. Representative David Trone, Democrat from Maryland, told Carvajal. Boy, that's a hoot coming from this guy, huh? As if Congress has done their job correctly. Breaking news. David Trone, you should be fired as well. You and all your little thieving buddies in Congress should all be fired as well. How dare you. In April, a judge said the conditions at the Metropolitan Correctional center were so harsh that that inmates should get time and a half credit towards sentences. Later that month, Manhattan Federal Judge Colleen McMahon said the Manhattan Lock up and a Brooklyn federal jail were run by morons. I'm not going to disagree with that. They certainly are run by morons. And the court system and the judges in the court system are also populated by morons. So where do we find ourselves? Clowns to the left of us, morons to the right of us. And here I am, stuck in the middle with all of you. Despite the chaos at the Metropolitan Correctional center, the union is pushing for Noel and Thomas to return to the jail and recover the wages they lost. Sure, why not? What the hell? At this point, what does it matter? It's such a shit show. We should let them run the jail. Local 3148 asked the federal Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Justice to do right by these employees and make them whole, Covington said. I mean, wow, that's the kind of world we live in, folks. A world with so little accountability, so little want to do the right thing from some people that when you fall asleep at your job as a prison guard, when you're falsifying records as a federal employee, your union is still gonna have your back and almost demand you get your gig back. What a world we find ourselves in, folks.
