    Jeffrey Epstein jail guards get deferred prosecution deal in suicide case

    Two federal jail guard officers accused of failing to keep watch over sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein the night he killed himself have reached an agreement with prosecutors that will lead to the dismissal of criminal charges against them if they comply with certain conditions.

    Sen. Ben Sasse, a Nebraska Republican who is a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, quickly blasted the deal as a slap in the face to Epstein’s victims, and called the agreement the latest example of the U.S. Justice Department “embarrassing itself” in an Epstein-related case.


    Tthe guards, Tova Noel and Michael Thomas, will be kept under pre-trial supervision for six months as part of a deferred prosecution agreement revealed late Friday afternoon.

    They also must perform 100 hours of community service “preferably in an area related to the criminal justice system,” federal prosecutors told Judge Analisa Torres in a letter filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.

    And the defendants must “cooperate with a pending Department of Justice Office of Inspector General review” of the circumstances of Epstein’s death in August 2019 “by providing truthful information related to their employment by the Bureau of Prisons,” the letter said.

    In the agreement, prosecutors wrote, Noel and Thomas, admitted that they “willfully and knowingly” filled out documents falsely claiming that they had regularly checked on Epstein’s and other prisoners’ cells in the special housing unit in the Manhattan Correctional Centers as scheduled the night the 66-year-old money manager hung himself.

    Epstein, a multi-millionaire whose former high-profile friends included ex-Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, was being held without bail in the jail while awaiting trial on federal child sex trafficking charges.


    If they abide by the deal’s terms, prosecutors will drop their pending criminal case against the guards, who were arrested in November 2019 on charges of conspiracy and filing false records.

    But if they do not comply with the agreement, the guards will face a trial or consider whether to plead guilty.

    Torres has to sign off on the deal, which already has been approved by the federal Pretrial Services division.

    Prosecutors told the judge that they determined “after a thorough investigation, and based on the facts of this case and the personal circumstances of the defendants” that “that the interests of justice will best be served by deferring prosecution.”

    Prosecutors asked Torres to schedule a video-conference hearing for next Tuesday for the deferred prosecution agreement to be set in motion.

    A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, which is prosecuting the case, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    It does not sound like they are being asked to testify against anyone else or to assist any criminal investigation. If you think Epstein was murdered, it would sound like a cover-up executed by a wide conspiracy (an impossibly wide one that includes not only prison officials but prosecutors and judges too). Or it could be some lazy guards who are being spared the full brunt of the consequences of their irresponsibility.

    The sad thing is this rampant in any type of overnight lockup and especially when you have people working consecutive shifts.

    I bet a lot of other guards have been scared shitless because of this.

    Trump was sued twice for having sex with a 13 year old set up by Epstein.

    the goal for the powers that be is to convict Maxwell without any damning evidence being revealed publicly, and no one else of any importance facing any consequences

    So your theory is that Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer hired a judge to protect damaging information coming out about Donald Trump?
