Epstein guards to skirt jail time in deal with prosecutors

WASHINGTON (AP) — The two Bureau of Prisons workers tasked with guarding Jeffrey Epstein the night he killed himself in a New York jail have admitted they falsified records, but they will skirt any time behind bars under a deal with federal prosecutors, authorities said Friday.

The prison workers, Tova Noel and Michael Thomas, were accused of sleeping and browsing the internet instead of monitoring Epstein the night he took his own life in August 2019.

They were charged with lying on prison records to make it seem as though they had made required checks on the financier before he was found in his cell. New York City’s medical examiner ruled Epstein’s death a suicide.

As part of the deal with prosecutors, they will enter into a deferred prosecution agreement with the Justice Department and will serve no time behind bars, according to a letter from federal prosecutors that was filed in court papers Friday. Noel and Thomas would instead be subjected to supervised release, would be required to complete 100 hours of community service and would be required to fully cooperate with an ongoing probe by the Justice Department’s inspector general, it says.

1. I figure they got $250,000 each.

Good enough pay seeing as no prison time.

[TurboDem]

2. At least that much.

I just told my partner they must have been paid extremely well. My guess was around 500K - 1mil.

[brooklynite]

4. "I guess" "no actual evidence"

[ret5hd]

6. Correct.

3. Supposedly Barr was one of the last to see him alive.

His death reeks of tRump.

[George II]

7. From what I heard, Barr visited Epstein just a few hours before Epstein committed "suicide"...

Reminds me of Tom Hagan visiting Frank Pantangelli:

8. Kiss of death.

14. John Cazale was a terrific actor.

If you don't know about him look it up.

[Ferrets are Cool]

5. Looks like a very one sided "deal" to me

[Botany]

9. I can not find fault with the guards ....

They see a picture of their home and families and hear "nice family shame if anything happened to 'em."

[Warpy]

10. One hopes they're singing loud and long

even though Epstein was so radioactive that it will all get buried until enough of the rich and powerful are safely dead.

There will likely be a quiet shakeup. It won't do any good.

11. Why would anyone "suicide" BEFORE trial?

Jeffrey Epstein could afford the best lawyers on the planet plus Alan “Undies On” Dershowitz.

12. Possiby

to prevent anything coming out at the trial even more terribe and disgusting than was already known. Of course, that's usually for the sake of survivors, and I don't think he had any.

Alternatively, because one might fear that after trial it would not be possible - supervision would be tighter.

Not saying either of those is what happened. Hell, I'm not even saying it really was a suicide. Just throwing out possible answers to the question which was asked.

16. William Barr's father hired dropout Epstein to teach at private school.

The late Mr. Donald Barr.

The ‘Epstein-Barr’ Problem of New York City’s Dalton School

Excerpt...

Epstein, who was charged last week by federal authorities in the Southern District of New York with sex trafficking with sex-trafficking and conspiracy to commit sex-trafficking, was a 20 year old college drop-out when he was hired to teach at Dalton by the school’s headmaster Donald Barr in the mid 1970’s. Donald Barr was the father of current United States Attorney General William Barr, who is currently overseeing Epstein’s prosecution.

According to at least one former student, Dalton alums have long joked about Barr’s hiring of Epstein..

“The joke has been [that] this is the Epstein-Barr problem at Dalton, said Harry Segal, a 1974 graduate who is now a senior lecturer at Cornell University and Weill Cornell Medical College, in an interview with the Huffington Post. Epstein-Barr is a type of herpes virus best known as the cause of infectious mononucleosis.

Scott Spizer, who graduated in 1976, said that Epstein was most remembered for his “persistent attention” on teenage girls in the hallways, recalled a night when the young educator showed up at a party where Dalton students were drinking.

“I can remember thinking at the time, ‘This is wrong,’” Spizer said in an interview with the New York Times.

So much to cover-up. Rather than everyone keeping their stories straight, the no-man no-problem solution.

[soldierant]

17. Yes, i remember reading about that.

Wheels withing wheels.

13. Don't forget

Everyone is focused on Dump and that's because everyone knows he's a pedophile. But that killing was done for ALL THE OTHER RICH A$$HOLES who had dealings with Epstein. This was a deep hole and they know they could fill it with a few buck and a "simple suicide". The rich are used to doing what they want and not having to pay the price and they knew this was close to their back door. Don't forget the arrest of the female madam (https://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/02/washington/02madam.html) "suicide" 'another one bites the dust...'
