Mr. Trump says it is a non-issue and that Ms. Bondi will release what is appropriate (somewhat similar to Mr. Biden not releasing any as well. Funny that.) Democrats are turning themselves egg-shaped saying Trump MUST be prominently featured or he would not sit on the info. No one seems to wonder why, given the lack of love lost between Biden&#8217;s folks and Trump,<em> they<\/em>\u00a0 chose to sit on it for all four years of Joe&#8217;s administration? MAGA types are turning on Bondi, Democrats saying Trump must be prominently featured &#8211; it&#8217;s just a grade-A Charlie Fox. Makes you wonder what they are trying to distract us from.<\/p>\n<p>Well, we have another voice to hear from now &#8211; someone with , shall we say, an <em>interesting<\/em> point of view. He lived in Epstein&#8217;s to-be jail cell for seven months.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>However, Michael Franzese, a capo for the Colombo crime family in the 1980s, told NewsNation that he once spent seven months in the same cell as Epstein<strong>,<\/strong> and had no idea how anyone would be able to take their own life under constant watch from prison guards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s just no way. There\u2019s no way to hang yourself,\u201d Franzese said. He also commented on footage released last week by the Department of Justice showing Epstein\u2019s cell door that <u>forensic experts said was likely \u201cmodified,\u201d<\/u> with two separate files stitched together.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, as far as the cameras being off, I haven\u2019t experienced that \u2013 I did eight years in prison and I haven\u2019t experienced cameras being broken and a perfect storm of correctional officers not walking those cells,\u201d Franzese said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey walk in and they look in on you all the time. As a matter of fact, you know, sometimes it\u2019s embarrassing to go to the toilet because they\u2019re walking past you and looking in the cell constantly.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In addition to the constant surveillance of those cells, Epstein was on suicide watch &#8211; and yet managed to outsmart the system on that.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cEspecially, from what I understand, Jeffrey Epstein was on suicide watch for a while. They watch you very, very closely. Trust me on that. So I just can\u2019t buy it. I cannot buy it, I\u2019m sorry, and I have no horse in this race other than my experience and the fact that I just couldn\u2019t see it happening,\u201d Franzese said.\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/world\/americas\/jeffrey-epstein-inmate-suicide-b2789439.html\">The Independent<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A man with some knowledge of the situation most others would not have.<\/p>\n<p>* Despite having said five months ago that the information was &#8220;on her desk&#8221;. Must have a very, very messy desk. My personal theory? Trump is only peripherally mentioned&#8230; but some very important and powerful people from BOTH sides of the political spectrum spent lots of time with Epstein and don&#8217;t want you to know it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ah, the fun &#8211; ever since Pam Bondi said there was no Epstein list*, the world &hellip; <a title=\"Epstein redux\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=171677\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Epstein redux<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":668,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[185,472,469,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-171677","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-crime","category-democrats","category-donald-trump","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171677","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/668"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=171677"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171677\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=171677"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=171677"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=171677"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
