>> Tucker: GOOD EVENING AND
WELCOME TO "TUCKER CARLSON
TONIGHT" ON SATURDAY MORNING,
AUGUST 10, 2019, ATTORNEY
GENERAL WILLIAM BARR WAS WORKING
IN HIS HOME OFFICE.
WHEN HIS CHIEF OF STAFF SAID
JEFFREY EPSTEIN WAS FOUND DEAD.
BARR WAS SHOCKED.
HIS FIRST REACTION WAS TO WORRY
THAT SOME PEOPLE IN AMERICA
MIGHT NOT BUY THE IDEA THAT
JEFFREY EPSTEIN KILLED HIMSELF.
NO ONE WILL BELIEVE IT WAS A
SUICIDE.
THERE WILL BE CONSPIRACY
THEORIES ALL OVER THE PLACE.
THAT’S A PRETTY ODD RESPONSE IF
YOU THINK ABOUT IT.
AT THE TIME, THERE WAS NO WAY
THAT BILL BARR COULD HAVE KNOWN
HOW JEFFREY EPSTEIN DIED.
HIS FIRST CONCERN WILL BE FINING
OUT WHAT HAPPENED.
INSTEAD, HIS FIRST CONCERN THAT
THE PUBLIC MIGHT JUMP TO
CONCLUSION ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.
MANY AMERICANS DID NOT BELIEVE
THAT JEFFREY EPSTEIN KILLED
HIMSELF.
GIVEN THE STRANGE CIRCUMSTANCES
OF HIS DEATH.
HE WAS GOING TO TAKE A SUSTAINED
PUBLIC RELATIONS CAMPAIGN TO
CONVINCE AMERICANS THAT JEFFREY
EPSTEIN KILLED HIMSELF.
BILL BARR WAS WILLING TO MAKE
THE EFFORT.
HE FLEW TO NEW ORLEANS, GAVE A
SPEECH AND SAID THIS.
>> I WAS APPALLED AND THE WHOLE
DEPARTMENT WAS, FRANKLY, HANGRY
TO LEARN OF THE MCC’S FAILURE TO
ADEQUATELY SECURE THIS PRISONER.
WE ARE LEARNING SERIOUS OF
IRREGULARITIES AT THIS FACILITY
THAT ARE DEEPLY CONCERNING AND
DEMAND A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION.
THE FBI AND THE OFFICE OF
INSPECTOR GENERAL, ARE DOING
JUST THAT.
WE WILL GET TO THE BOTTOM OF
WHAT HAPPENED.
THERE WILL BE ACCOUNTABILITY.
>> Tucker: SO THE COUNTRY IS
SKEPTICAL AND CONCERNED.
BILL BARR IS SKEPTICAL AND
CONCERNED.
WE WILL GET TO THE BOTTOM OF
WHAT HAPPENED.
THERE WILL BE ACCOUNTABILITY.
THAT TURNED OUT TO BE UNTRUE.
THREE AND A HALF YEARS AFTER HE
DIED, NO ONE HAS GOTTEN TO THE
BOTTOM WHAT HAPPENED THAT DAY.
THERE’S BEEN NO ACCOUNTABILITY
FOR IT.
ONLY PEOPLE PUNISHED WERE TWO
LOW LEVEL GUARDS WHO FELL ASLEEP
ON DUTY.
BOTH PLEADED GUILTY.
LAST YEAR WITH NO REMAIN
EXPLANATION, AN OBAMA APPOINTED
JUDGE DROPPED ALL CHARGES
AGAINST BOTH OF THEM.
ONE OF THE GUARDS MAY STILL WORK
FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
AS WE’RE GETTING TO THE BOTTOM
OF WHAT HAPPENED, DESPITE MANY
PROMISES, NEITHER THE FBI NOR
THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT ISSUED A
REPORT HOW JEFFREY EPSTEIN DIED.
ONCE AGAIN, THREE AND A HALF
YEARS AFTER ONE OF THE MOST
WIDELY COVERED DEATH OF OUR
TIME, THERE’S STILL NO ANSWERS
AND THERE WAS STILL NO
ACCOUNTABILITY.
WHY IS THAT?
MANY REASONS PROBABLY.
ONE OF THEM IS THAT WASHINGTON
VETERAN BILL BARR, ONLY MAN IN
THE OMODERN ERA TO SERVE
ATTORNEY GENERAL TWICE, DECLARED
THE EPSTEIN CASE CLOSED.
BARR SEEMED TO HAVE GOOD REASON
FOR DOING THAT.
BY END OF 2019, HE WRITES, I WAS
CONFIDENT THAT JEFFREY EPSTEIN
COMMITTED SUICIDE BY HANGING
HIMSELF.
WHY DID BILL BARR BELIEVE THAT?
THE FIRST PIECE OF EVIDENCE IS
THIS.
THE NEW YORK CITY MEDICAL
EXAMINER HAD CONDUCTED AN
AUTOPSY AND RULED THAT EPSTEIN
KILLED HIMSELF BY HANGING.
THAT’S THE FIRST PIECE.
SECOND IS THIS, IT’S A VIDEOTAPE
THAT CONFIRMED THE MEDICAL
EXAMINER’S FINDING.
I PERSONALLY REVIEWED THAT VIDEO
FOOTAGE.
IT SHOWS THAT BETWEEN THE TIME
EPSTEIN WAS LOCKED IN THE CELL
7:49 P.M. AND THE TIME HE WAS
DISCOVERED THE NEXT MORNING AT
6:30, NO ONE ENTERED HIS TIER.
THEREFORE, BILL BARR EXPLAINED WE CAN KNOW FOR SURE JEFFREY
WE CAN KNOW FOR SURE JEFFREY
EPSTEIN KILLED HYMN HIMSELF.
I THINK THE AGENCY IS SLOWLY ON
ITS WAY BACK.
IN OTHER WORDS, EVERYTHING IS
FINE.
LET’S MOVE ON.
VIRTUALLY EVERY NEWS STORY ABOUT
JEFFREY EPSTEIN’S DEATH
DEANNOUNCED SKEPTICALS OF THE
OFFICIAL STORY AS CRAZY.
BASELESS CONSPIRACY THEORIES.
WHAT’S AMAZING IS THAT NONE OF
THESE REPORTERS, VETERANS AT THE
"WASHINGTON POST," THE
ASSOCIATED PRESS, AND OTHERS,
NONE OF THEM EVER THOUGHT TO
REVISIT
>> Bill: BILL BARR’S ASSESSMENT
OF EPSTEIN’S DEATH.
IF YOU DID THAT, YOU SAW WHAT
BILL BARR SAID ABOUT JEFFREY
EPSTEIN WAS ABSURD AND
DISHONEST.
BARR BEGAN BY CLAIMING THAT THE
MEDICAL EXAMINER RULED HIS DEATH
AS SUICIDE.
THAT’S NOT TRUE.
THE INITIAL CAUSE OF DEATH WAS
NOT SUICIDE BUT PENDING.
THE MEDICAL EXAMINER WHO
PERFORMED THE AUTOPSY COULD NOT
SAY HOW HE DIED.
THE PATHOLOGIST CAME AWAY
BELIEVING EPSTEIN WAS MURDERED. AFTER REVIEWING MORE THAN
AFTER REVIEWING MORE THAN
THOUSAND SUICIDE BY HANGING.
JEFFREY EPSTEIN DID NOT KILL
HIMSELF.
BARBARA SAMPSON WHO WAS NOT
PRESENT AT THE AUTOPSY OVERRULED
THE JUDGMENT OF THOSE WHO WORK.
DAYS LATER, BARBARA SAMPSON DECLARED JEFFREY EPSTEIN’S DEATH
DECLARED JEFFREY EPSTEIN’S DEATH
A SUICIDE.
BOTH CAMERA DID NOT WORK THAT
NIGHT FAMOUSLY.
NO ONE EXPLAINED WHY THEY DIDN’T
WORK.
THE VIDEO FOOTAGE THAT BILL BARR
SAID HE WATCHED DIDN’T COVER
EPSTEIN’S CELL.
NO ONE CAME IN OR OUT OF THE
TIER BARR SAID.
THEREFORE, JEFFREY EPSTEIN
KILLED HIMSELF.
LET’S CONSIDER THAT CLAIM.
ON THE NIGHT OF AUGUST 9th,
JEFFREY EPSTEIN WAS HELD IN THE
SPECIAL HOUSING UNIT IN
MANHATTAN.
THE MOST SECURED PART OF THE
CITY’S FEDERAL LOCK UP.
IT WILL BE PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE
FOR A TRAINER TO GET OUT WITHOUT
AN ELECTRONIC PASS AND WITHOUT
BEING SEEN BY COUNTLESS CAMERAS
BETWEEN THE STREETS.
IF JEFFREY EPSTEIN WAS MURDERED,
HE WAS NOT MURDERED BY AN
INTRUDER, HE WAS MURDERED BY
SOMEONE ON HIS OWN CELL BLOCK.
OBVIOUSLY.
THERE WERE SEVEN OTHER CELLS.
IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A KILLER,
YOU WOULD FIGURE OUT WHO WAS IN
THOSE CELLS.
NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE THOUGHT OF
THAT OR DONE IT.
THE BUREAU OF PRISONS REFUSED TO
PROVIDE US WITH A LIST OF THE
INMATES ON EPSTEIN’S TIER.
IT’S NOT CLEAR HOW MANY WERE
INTERVIEWED BY INVESTIGATORS
DESPITE THAT SOME OF THEM WERE
TRANSFERRED OUT OF THE FACILITY
AFTER EPSTEIN’S DEATH.
THAT’S A BAFFLING OVERSIGHT.
INSTEAD, ATTORNEY GENERAL BILL
BARR ASSURED THE COUNTRY NO ONE
FROM OUTSIDE CAME IN AND
DECLARED IT SOLVED.
THAT’S A REMARKABLE WAY TO
ASSESS A POTENTIAL CRIME SCENE.
BILL BARR WAS NOT A CIVILIAN OR
A CRIME NOVEL AFICIONADO.
HE WAS THE NATION’S TOP COP.
HIS JOB WAS TO SOLVE CRIMES.
WITH ALL HIS LAW ENFORCEMENT
EXPERIENCE IT NEVER SEEMED TO
DAWN ON BILL BARR, IF THERE WAS
A KILLER, IT WOULD HAVE COME ON
EPSTEIN’S TIER.
NO ONE IN THE ENTIRE FBI
SUGGESTED THIS TO BILL BARR.
EXCUSE ME MR. ATTORNEY GENERAL,
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT THE
CAMERA SHOWED, WHAT MATTERED IS
WHAT HAPPENED INSIDE THE TIER.
NO ONE AT D.O.J. APPEARED TO SAY
THAT TO BILL BARR AND NO ONE IN
THE MEDIA NOTICED.
IT’S ALL STRANGE.
WE’VE PRESSED PRETTY HARD FOR
THE LAST FEW DAYS ON THIS
QUESTION.
WE’VE PRESSED BECAUSE YOU DON’T
WANT TO LIVE IN A COUNTRY WHERE
IT’S POSSIBLE TO MURDER PEOPLE
IN FEDERAL LOCK UP, COVER IT UP
THE KILLINGS AND GET AWAY WITH
IT.
THAT’S SCARY.
THAT SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED.
IN THE CASE OF JEFFREY EPSTEIN,
IT APPEARS THAT IT WAS ALLOWED.
ONE LEVEL YOU CAN SEE WHY IT
WAS.
THIS IS ONE OF THE THOSE CRIMES
THAT HAS NO NATURAL CONSTITUENCY
PUSHING TO SOLVE IT.
THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO LIKED
JEFFREY EPSTEIN WAS HIS FRIENDS.
SOME OF THEM ARE HAPPY HE’S
DEAD.
HERE’S BILL GATES WHO SPENT
QUITE BIT OF TIME WITH JEFFREY
EPSTEIN.
>> WHAT DID YOU DO WHEN YOU
FOUND OUT ABOUT HIS BACKGROUND?
>> WELL, I SAID I REGRETTED
HAVING THOSE DINNERS THERE’S
NOTHING NEW.
>> IS THERE A LESSON FOR YOU,
FOR ANYONE ELSE LOOKING AT THIS?
>> WELL, HE’S DEAD.
IN GENERAL, YOU HAVE TO BE
CAREFUL.
>> Tucker: WELL, HE’S DEAD.
ALONG WITH HIS MANY SECRETS
ABOUT ME AND THE REST OF MY
FRIENDS.
WE’RE SO SORRY.
YOU CAN IMAGINE
>> Bill: BILL CLINTON AND
OTHERS FEEL THE SAME WAY.
PRIVATELY LOT OF PEOPLE ARE
HAPPY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO
JEFFREY EPSTEIN.
THIS WEEK, WE CALLED EVERY
PERSON INVOLVED IN THE STORY
SURROUNDING JEFFREY EPSTEIN’S
DEATH.
WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS, NONE OF
THEM WOULD SPEAK TO US.
WE HUNG UP IMMEDIATELY.
ONE OF THEM, THE D.O.J. CASE
OFFICER SUPPOSED ASSIGNED TO
INVESTIGATE HIS DEATH, REFUSED
TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT HE WORKED
FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
I WILL NOT CONFIRM OR DENY THAT
WHEN WE REACHED HIM ON THE CELL
PHONE.
FOR HIS PART, FORMER ATTORNEY
GENERAL BILL BARR TURNED DOWN
OUR OFFER TO COME ON TONIGHT.
HE DID NOT EXPLAIN WHY.
ONE PERSON WE DID SPEAK TO WAS
JEFFREY EPSTEIN, MARK.
THE TWO WERE NEVER IN BUSINESS
TOGETHER.
HE’S NOT LOOKING FOR MONEY FROM
THE ESTATE. HE IS INTERESTED IN FINDING OUT
HE IS INTERESTED IN FINDING OUT
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS BROTHER.
HERE’S A LIST OF QUESTIONS THAT
ANY HONEST INVESTIGATOR WOULD
WANT THE ANSWERS TO.
FIRST, WHY DO SO MANY PUBLIC
OFFICIALS PERSIST AND CLAIMING
THAT JEFFREY EPSTEIN ATTEMPTED
SUICIDE IN PRISON ONCE BEFORE.
THAT’S A VERY CONVENIENT CLAIM
IF YOU TRYING TO CONVINCE PEOPLE
THAT JEFFREY EPSTEIN KILLED
HYMN.
IN FACT, HE DENIED EVER TRYING
TO KILL HIMSELF IN PRISON OR
OUT.
HE DENIED THIS TO HIS FRIENDS,
TOE HIS LAWYERS AND PRISON
PSYCHOLOGISTS.
HE SAID HE WAS INJURED BY
ANOTHER INMATE.
ACCORDING TO DAVID SCHOEN,
EPSTEIN SEEMS UPBEAT, HAPPY AND CONFIDENT.
HESPEAKING OF NEARBY CELLS, WERE
THE CELL EPSTEIN’S TIER LOCKED
THE ENTIRE NIGHT.
WE HEARD THAT THEY WERE NOT
LOCKED.
THE INMATE WERE ABLE TO MOVE
FROM ONE CELL TO ANOTHER.
CAN THE BUREAU OF PRISONS GIVE
US CLARITY ON THIS?
BY THE WAY, WHO MOVEED JEFFREY
EPSTEIN’S BODY.
HE WAS DISCOVERED ON THE ORANGE
OF AUGUST 10th WHO WAS THE
SAME GUARD WHO DISCOVERED HIM IN
FETAL POSITION ON THE FLOOR
AFTER HIS PREVIOUS FALSELY
REPORTED SUICIDE ATTEMPT.
EPSTEIN’S BODY HAD BEEN MOVED TO
THE PRISON INFIRMARY.
THAT’S A CLEAR VIOLATION OF
FEDERAL POLICY.
JEFFREY EPSTEIN WAS DEAD FOR AT
LEAST TWO HOURS. BY THE TIME THE EM Ts Ts ARRIVED
BY THE TIME THE EM Ts Ts ARRIVED
JEFFREY EPSTEIN WAS CLAD IN A
HOSPITAL HOUSE GOWN.
WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THAT?
TO MAKE IT EVEN STRANGER,
JEFFREY EPSTEIN’S CORPSE WAS
INTUBATED.
THERE WAS HAND HELD VIDEO OF ALL
OF OF THIS HAPPENING.
THAT VIDEO HAS NEVER BEEN
RELEASED.
AUTHORITIES WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT IT EXIST.
IT DOES EXIST.
NOR, HAS THE EMT’S ACCOUNT WHAT
THEY SAW THAT DAY, EVER BEEN
RELEASED.
NOR, MOST STRIKINGLY, ARE THE
PHOTOGRAPHS OF JEFFREY EPSTEIN
DEAD IN HIS CELL.
THAT MEANS IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO
KNOW THE POSITION OF HIS BODY
WHEN IT WAS FOUND OR HOW HE
DIED.
WAS JEFFREY EPSTEIN HANGING FROM
A BED SHEET?
THEY SAY HE WAS STRANGLED BY A
LIGATURE.
HIS NECK WAS BLOODY BUT THE
STRIP OF SHEET WAS NOT.
OR, WAS HE KILLED FROM THE
ELECTRICAL CHORD FROM HIS SLEEP
APNEA MACHINE.
THESE ARE VERY BASIC QUESTIONS.
THESE ARE NOT SPHERES THEORY --
CONSPIRACY THEORIES.
THEY ARE THE ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS
IN ANY LEGITIMATE INVESTIGATION.
APPARENTLY, NOBODY TRIED TO
ANSWER THEM.
WE CALL THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE ASKED THEM TO EXPLAIN.
THEY REFUSED ON THE GROUNDS,
THERE’S AN ACTIVE INVESTIGATION
IN PROGRESS.
THERE’S A LIE.
THERE’S NO INVESTIGATION INTO
JEFFREY EPSTEIN’S DEATH.
WE’RE MOVING ON FOUR YEARS NOW,
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN AN
INVESTIGATION INTO JEFFREY
EPSTEIN’S DEATH.
WE CAN SPECULATE WHY THAT IS.
ALL THE EXPLANATIONS ARE BAD.
MAYBE SOMEONE IN THE NEW
REPUBLICAN CONGRESS SHOULD LOOK
INTO ALL OF THIS.
NOT BECAUSE JEFFREY EPSTEIN IS
AN AMERICAN HERO, IT WILL BE
