Fall guys.

The prior leadership must have been too progressive and honest, and taken too dim a view of white-collar crime.

Crooked appoints Crooked
To investigate Crooked

For Crooked.

Remember: Top-Down Crooked is difficult to stop. Only OUTSIDE action can make a dent. Individual Profiles in Courage working on the inside have a chance but only if OUTSIDE actors listen.

This would look a lot more sincere if it had occurred after Epstein’s first suicide attempt.

Definitely need to clean out the leadership to ensure culture change. Start with Trump and Barr.

This is the Trump administration.

No it wouldn’t.

I got this from RawStory, via AP
“Barr named Kathleen Hawk Sawyer, the prison agency’s director from 1992 until 2003, to replace Hurwitz. Hurwitz is moving to a role as a deputy in charge of the bureau’s reentry programs, where he will work with Barr on putting in place the First Step Act, a criminal justice overhaul.”

Hmm. Barr is really angry about Epstein being allowed to commit suicide. So he doesn’t can the Prison’s Chief, he replaces him but has Hurwitz come work for him on a CJ overhaul. Remove Hurwitz from his job, but keep him close and on a string?

Dr. Hawk Sawyer? She’ll know how to dispose of the bodies, fer sure.

A lot of people are saying she’s looking for an endorsement deal for Beats Studio3 Wireless Noise Canceling Over-Ear Headphones.

Something is seriously suspicious about this announcement. Kathleen Hawk Sawyer has direct, previous experience in this same role, is highly regarded in the penal system, has a record of bipartisan accolades and is very qualified for the job. This makes no sense.

The coverups will continue until heinous crimes are properly concealed the first time. That is all.

Barr seems to be awfully quick in assigning blame or scapegoats…but in his second stint as USAG, he has been dragging his feet in releasing the Mueller Report in which the probe is already done AND LIED about the report too…Imagine that!

Coverup General Barr is MUELLERing the Epstein case which he should be recused from due to conflicts of interest ie his father dubiously hired young Epstein to teach without college degree!

If Ms. Hawk-Sawyer is indeed qualified and well-regarded for the job, then this is very bad news for Donald Trump in about two years.

Never forget: It was Barr who successfully covered up and buried the Iran-Contra scandal for Poppy Bush.

More Trumpf lackeys. “We have binders, binders full of lackeys…”

How convenient that Barr appoints new leaders to the BoP after the fact of Epstein’s death.

Note that the BOP head being replaced was ‘acting’ and not permanent in that role. More disposable deplorables.
