BREAKING: Jeffrey Epstein's Guards Admit To Falsifying Records, Make Deal To Avoid Prison Time

TRENDING: Updates 7.6.20: The Trump Family's Jeffrey Epstein Connections

Wow — in breaking news, the two guards who were reportedly only 3 meters (about 10 feet) away from Jeffrey Epstein’s cell when he died, browsing the Internet and shopping — will avoid jail time. In a deal with the government, in exchange for cooperation the two prison guards at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York will avoid any prison time, doing only some community service hours with supervised release.

Some in Washington found the leniency for the guards responsible for letting Jeffrey Epstein be murde- I mean, responsible for letting Epstein tragically end his own life- to be an unacceptable lapse in justice.

Senator Ben Sasse, a Republican, was particularly outraged. Via CBC:

Sen. Ben Sasse, a Republican member of the Senate judiciary committee who has been a vocal critic of the Justice Department's handling of Epstein's case, called the deal "unacceptable" and said the public deserves to see a report detailing the prison agency's failures.

"One hundred hours of community service is a joke — this isn't traffic court," Sasse said in a statement. "The leader of an international child sex trafficking ring escaped justice, his co-conspirators had their secrets go to the grave with him, and these guards are going to be picking up trash on the side of the road."

As we pointed out earlier in the month, Melinda Gates had strong concerns about Bill Gates’ friendship with Epstein — a contributing factor to their divorce, it has been speculated.

So if you think Jeffrey Epstein’s name resurfacing right now in national news is something Bill Gates is sweating about, you might be right.
