Like the time the Dallas police moved Lee Harvey Oswald through the basement to avoid any chance of physical harm to the official assassin of President Kennedy...



Jeffrey Epstein’s former cellmate cleared of wrongdoing after probe into earlier possible suicide attempt, lawyer says

Key Points

* An investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s possible suicide attempt last month — which happened less than three weeks before his death in a Manhattan jail cell — cleared the financier’s former cellmate of wrongdoing.

* Nicholas Tartaglione, a former New York police officer, was sharing a cell with Epstein in Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center at the time Epstein was found semi-conscious in the fetal position with marks on his neck.

* Meanwhile, Epstein’s death nearly a week ago was officially ruled a suicide Friday.

Excerpt...

Tartaglione’s lawyer, Bruce Barket, told NBC that officials at the jailhouse said in an email that Tartaglione would face no charges or internal discipline now that the investigation had concluded.

“We’ve always maintained Nick did nothing wrong and that’s clearly been borne out here by the jail itself,” Barket told NBC. An official familiar with the case confirmed Barket’s statement, NBC reported.

Barket told CNBC last month that Epstein and Tartaglione had “gotten along pretty well” as cellmates. Tartaglione has pleaded not guilty in his case.

The lawyer maintained from the start that “any suggestion that Mr. Tartaglione assault[ed] anyone is a complete fabrication,” and claimed that the assault theory was being floated “to retaliate against Mr. Tartaglione for complaining to the court about the deplorable conditions at the MCC.”

Barket did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment on NBC’s report that Tartaglione had been cleared. A lawyer for Epstein also did not immediately respond.

When really powerful people want to bury a story, there's nothing like a 260-pound steroid-muscled mass murderer. Former officer Tartaglione sounds exactly like the kind of violent offender you want sitting in a cell with the nation's number two (or three, if one counts Ghislaine) most famous pedophile.
