Epstein lawyers discussed possibility of cooperation with prosecutors days before his death, files reveal
Source: The Guardian
Less than two weeks before Jeffrey Epstein's death in jail, his lawyers and Manhattan federal prosecutors met and discussed his potential cooperation, several documents within a cache of newly released investigative files state.
"On July 29, 2019, FBI and [prosecutors] met with Epstein's attorneys, who, in very general terms, discussed the possibility of a resolution of the case, and the possibility of the defendant's cooperation," an FBI document titled "Epstein Investigation Summary & Timeline" statement.

On 23 July 2019, several days before this stated meeting with prosecutors, Epstein was discovered unconscious in a jail cell, multiple media outlets reported. While it was unclear how Epstein endured injuries to his neck, two anonymous sources told New York City's NBC News 4 that his injuries may have been self-inflicted.

Epstein was found unconscious in his cell again on 10 August and pronounced dead at hospital. Authorities said Epstein's cause of death was suicide.

I wonder who really wanted him killed.... Now, who could it be?
Of course, there are many suspects but one is really special.

(3,098 posts)Now, are there records that suggest what the possible SUBJECTS of that cooperation might be?
His own defense lawyers floating the possibility of Epstein's cooperation for a reduced sentence are probably meaningful, but it'd mean a *lot* more if there were an official record of WHAT/WHO he might be cooperating ABOUT.
But even just this information is a good start, and hopefully at the upcoming House Epstein hearings, Democrats will pepper Barr with questions about this!

This is what got him killed.

(23,549 posts)Seems Epstein was pursuing all avenues of escape. A rat like him wouldnt voluntarily meet his Maker until after the jury reports, Guilty! and the judge says, Life imprisonment without parole.

(11,852 posts)They don't check out early. They don't have too because people like him don't go to jail for very long. For all the serious charges had already been dropped. The remaining one was insignificant and likely wouldn't even get him jail time. Why off himself?
Some of the released files tell the tale. Apparently, his lawyers were in negotiations to spill the beans apparently. I think, some of the emails alludes to this, the fact he was arrested at all pissed him off and he was seeking revenge by outing the people that he thought should have protected him.
I think that was his final and fatal miscalculation. Whomever "they" were decided they didn't want him to do that.
That alone is a little scary. They blacked out security cameras and killed a person and disappeared in a poof of smoke in a federal prison. I have yet to see or hear a reasonable explanation as to why the only cameras that went out were in his area and only for the time around when he died and why not a single news agency will go near that story beyond the official account of the death.

(23,549 posts)Only guy who could do all that wasn't Trump, it was Barr. Bill Barr. Attorney General and volunteer helper like when Trump couldn't find his ass with both hands even if they both were super-glued to his ass. Remember how Barr wrote an 8-page "application letter" jonsing for the AG gig when Sessions refused himself over the Russia Thing?
AG Bill Barr's father hired Jeffrey Epstein to teach at NYC prep school.
Epstein was a 20-year old college drop-out "math wiz" at the time. Barr's father, Dalton School headmaster, was retired OSS trained to spot talent.

The Ties That Bind Jeffrey Epstein, William Barr & Donald Trump
Todd Neikirk
Hill Reporter, May 19, 2019
During Attorney General, William Barrs confirmation hearing, he was mostly peppered with questions about how he would handle the Mueller Report. Senator Ben Sasses (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, Barrs father Donald, the headmaster at Manhattans 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 Yorks 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 WilliamsinDead Poets Society type of figure, wowing his high-school classes with passionate mathematical riffs. Epsteins 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.

Musta been one of the last times Epstein thought he had a good idea.
Jeffrey Epstein Bragged Bill Barr was in Charge, Not Trump
The pedophile told Ehud Barak he had direct knowledge that Barr was in charge in DC, according to a new book that also claims Steve Bannon gave Epstein advice on his PR strategy.

The Daily Beast, October 15, 2021
A controversial new book from the journalist Michael Wolff claims that the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein bragged that Bill Barr was the man in charge during Trumps time in office and that the president lets someone else be in charge, until other people realize that someone, other than him, is in charge. When that happens, youre no longer in charge.
The tome, Too Famous: The Rich, the Powerful, the Wishful, the Notorious and the Damned, also claims that Steve Bannon and former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak tried to help Epstein rehabilitate his image, even suggesting that he try to get favorable coverage on Rachel Maddow or 60 Minutes.
According to Wolffwho reportedly tried to buy New York Magazine with Epstein and disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey WeinsteinBarak asked Epstein the million-dollar question of who was in charge at the White House. What I want to know from you all-knowing people is: Who is in charge, who is, [Barak] said, putting on an American accent over his own often impenetrable Israeli one, calling the shots? This was a resumption of the reliable conversation around Epstein: the ludicrousness and vagaries of Donald Trumponce among Epsteins closest friends. Here is the question every government is asking. Trump is obviously not in charge because he is
Wolff claims that Epstein interrupted the former politico and called Trumphis former playboy party pala moron, then confided, At the moment, Bill Barr is in charge. The pedophile financier continued: Its Donalds pattern...he lets someone else be in charge, until other people realize that someone, other than him, is in charge. When that happens, youre no longer in charge.
Barak allegedly pressed, But let me ask you, why do you think this Barr took this job, knowing all this?
The motivation was simple: money, Epstein replied. Barr believes hell get a big payday out of this ... If he keeps Donald in office, manages to hold the Justice Department together, and help the Republican Party survive Donald, he thinks this is worth big money to him. I speak from direct knowledge. Extremely direct. Trust me.

(7,225 posts)I vaguely recall that he and that useful idiot of a judge from Connecticut were on a junket to Italy when Epstein allegedly killed himself. I remember thinking how, if that scenario had happened under a Democratic administration, where the most high-value criminal in the country managed to kill himself AFTER he had already attempted suicide as the AG was off on a cushy business trip - there would have been hell to pay. Our lame media really let us down by not getting to the bottom of the events of the summer of 2019.
I absolutely believe Epstein was killed.
