Tartaglione Is a genuine gorilla, massive guy, & convicted of 4 murders. Maybe. He claims he gave Epstein the lower bunk while he moved his mattress to the floor. Epstein was definitely unconscious. The weird thing is the incident was scrubbed from the Bureau of Prisons records.

CBS has new reporting on the days & events leading up to Epstein’s death. >>Epstein expressed concern about his cellmate the day before the incident, according to a corrections memo and a source who agreed to speak with CBS News on the condition they not be identified. Epstein claimed to both the corrections officer and the source that he felt threatened by Tartaglione, a hulking retired cop-turned-drug-dealer, who was charged and later convicted for four murders. Epstein said to the officer that he hadn't previously been comfortable reporting the alleged threat because "his bunkie told him that if he beat him up, because of [Epstein's child sex trafficking] charges, the officers would not report it." The wealthy former financier told jail officers that he believed Tartaglione was trying "to extort money from him and stated that if he didn't pay him that he would beat him up," the officer wrote. "He stated that this has been going on for a week." Epstein told a different officer that on the eve of the July incident, his cellmate had gotten ahold of a copy of the New York Daily News. Epstein — a former financial adviser, confidant to some of the world's most powerful people, and prolific sexual abuser of girls and young women — said Tartaglione pointed to a story about Epstein in the paper. Tartaglione said it placed his net worth at $77 million, according to Epstein. (That figure instead matches a valuation for Epstein's New York mansion cited in multiple articles in the paper that month.) Epstein said he crumpled up the article and threw it out and turned in for bed. He told an officer he remembered waking up at 1 a.m. to get a drink of water, and walking back to his bed. The next thing he recalled, he said, was roughly half an hour later when corrections officers rushed into his cell. Epstein initially said he thought he was attacked, but later equivocated. He asked to be put back in the same cell with Tartaglione, according to a 2023 report by the Department of Justice inspector general, but also insisted he would never have tried to kill himself. After the incident, Epstein was moved to a room where he was placed on suicide watch and closely monitored for the next 31 hours. In his first minutes there, he twice "sat on the edge of the bed and began moving forward as if he was attempting to fall over head first," a corrections officer wrote. Told to stop, Epstein responded, "'Okay, I won't do it again,' and gave the thumbs up." Another corrections officer assigned to watch over Epstein in the hours following the July 23 incident was Michael Thomas, according to a document obtained by CBS News. Thomas is the officer who discovered Epstein dead in his cell on Aug. 10, 2019, according to the Justice Department. He and another officer were later charged with falsifying documents related to the night of Epstein's death, but those charges were dropped.<< >>Following the incident, Epstein expressed concern to Bureau of Prison employees about being housed back in the same unit, saying he "felt it was dangerous," according to the IG report. Epstein was assigned a new cellmate, Efrain Reyes, and moved back on July 30. Nine days later, Reyes was transferred. As night fell, Epstein found himself without a bunkie. Hours later, the early morning quiet of the secure housing unit was once again punctured as a corrections officer called for help. Epstein was once again on the floor of his cell. This time, his body was cold to the touch.<<

>>MAGA influencer Steve Bannon used a broadcast from Charlie Kirk's memorial to accuse many of America's teachers of being "terrorists." Bannon made the remarks at State Farm Stadium on Sunday while hosting the memorial for Real America's Voice after co-host Gina Loudon noted that the late conservative activist had been "an advocate of marriage" and having "lots of children." "These [ideas] are not popular on college campuses right now, right?" Loudon said. "Well, I actually think they are popular," Bannon replied, "but it's not the way those kids — look, from kindergarten all the way up, they are essentially, you know, a third of the teachers are terrorists that are trying to form them." "You look at all this radical, the way they're formed," he added. …<< TRS

Are you a church goin’ man?

The forces of wickedness & evil.

In that case he’s not prosecuted for his speech, he’s prosecuted for fraud. Another example is a public official who accepts a bribe in a meeting, he’s not being prosecuted for speech he’s being prosecuted for corruption.

Lieu-Patel exchange. - Patel makes this whole thing worse because he doesn’t know how to phrase things in law enforcement terms. - Also, no idea what the “Epstein index” is.

Lebanon reports 4 Americans, including 3 children, have been killed in an Israeli strike.

Ah yes (Sir!), the people of Memphis have all gone outside to cheer the troops.

Here I fully 100% agree with Gepetto.

No, I wasn’t saying any way in particular, I was just amused that Dizknee was telling everyone to trust the DOJ in its findings & also the DOJ is a lying, tricking organization.

At what point do you conclude Biden, Patel & Bongino are covering for Biden?

Trump’s whole thing is whining & grievances. Have you heard him talk (every single chance) how he’s the most unfairly treated president in history? Oh the wailing & gnashing of teeth. Some people eat that slop up, they love it. Good lord, just looking at the crying over <Ken Dilanian>.

Ok so Dilanian is a deep state scribe. Sorry, just checking, so we’re… trusting the DOJ, or… not?

Dilanian is a well known national security reporter. He has a solid reputation even if ‘bofe sidez’ don’t like him sometimes because he basically puts out leaks from the DOJ & they don’t like the framing.

Oh wait, nm.

I’m perfectly fine with accepting DOJ decision making. It historically has been independent from White House influence, as it should be.

Maxwell has been pictured heading to a yoga class in the plush new Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas Yes, a UK tabloid got this, not MSM.

The Murdochs are getting a piece of the TikTok deal.

This is an odd comment. If Trump, Bondi & Patel had video of Mayorkas or his CBP director taking cash it would take a week to show the video on Fox. Nobody even knew about this investigation.

There’s no confusion about the populism behind this. Almost always populism goes in hand with authoritarianism.

In an open DM (?) Trump tells the AG she isn’t doing enough & that he’s nominating his personal attorney as USA EDVA.

Yes I hope for a safe event. It’s the President, some cabinet officials & (per Fox) a couple hundred thousand people.

That time our great leader settled the Cambodian-Armenian War.

>>Undercover FBI agents posing as contractors communicated and met several times last summer with a business colleague who introduced them to Homan, and with Homan himself, who indicated he would facilitate securing contracts for them in exchange for money once he was in office, according to documents and the people familiar with the case. On Sept. 20, 2024, with hidden cameras recording the scene at a meeting spot in Texas, Homan accepted $50,000 in bills, according to an internal summary of the case and sources.<<
