Less than two weeks before Jeffrey Epstein’s death in jail, his lawyers and Manhattan federal prosecutors met and discussed his potential cooperation, several documents within a cache of newly released investigative files state.

“On July 29, 2019, FBI and [prosecutors] met with Epstein’s attorneys, who, in very general terms, discussed the possibility of a resolution of the case, and the possibility of the defendant’s cooperation,” an FBI document titled “Epstein Investigation Summary & Timeline” statement.

Another document titled “Jeffrey Epstein Significant Case Notification”, which was not attributed to a specific agency, closely resembled this FBI memo, and provided several more details.

“Defense Counsel did not make a specific proposal, and they did not indicate what the nature of Epstein’s cooperation might be, if any,” this document stated. “It was suggested that Defense Counsel contact SDNY if Epstein was prepared to accept responsibility for his conduct and/or they had a specific proposal for a resolution of this case.”

    Dean’s mother wrote in a Facebook post last month that her son was “fighting for his life” after contracting pneumonia and suffering a stroke following an MRSA infection.

    Unless Boeing is fucking magic, this one isn’t on them either.

    Do you want to know what it’s actually like when the rich and powerful want someone dead? Look up the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia. A billionaire asshole didn’t like what she was reporting about his crimes, so he had people bomb her car. He’s still awaiting trial, but spent 5 years in jail waiting.

    But back to Boeing, both whistleblowers faced retaliation from Boeing for reporting safety concerns. Boeing ruined both their lives, legally. And that’s the fucked up part. Pretend murders aren’t scary, ruining lives via a pen stroke is.
