OT the PIT - reincarnation

Nothing worse than a woman scorned.

Accused pedophile and wealthy Manhattan financier Jeffrey Epstein was found injured and in a fetal position inside his cell at a New York City jail, according to sources close to the investigation.

Epstein, who is being held in Metropolitan Correctional Center as he awaits his trial for conspiracy and sex trafficking, was found semi-conscious with marks on his neck, two sources told News 4. Investigators are trying to piece together exactly what happened, saying details remain murky.

Two sources tell News 4 that Epstein may have tried to hang himself, while a third source cautioned that the injuries were not serious and questioned if Epstein might be using it as a way to get a transfer.

A fourth source said an assault has not been ruled out, and that another inmate was questioned. The inmate who investigators have talked to in Lower Manhattan facility has been identified as Nicholas Tartaglione, according to two sources. Tartaglione is a former police officer in Westchester County who was arrested in December 2016 and accused of killing four men in an alleged cocaine distribution conspiracy, then burying their bodies in his yard in Otisville in Orange County, according to court records.

Sources told News 4 investigators questioned Tartaglione, and the former cop claimed not to have seen anything and insisted he did not touch Epstein, sources said.

The attorney for Tartaglione denied all the claims that his client attacked the financier, saying his client and Epstein get along well. The attorney added Epstein was seen today and appears to be fine.

"They are in the same unit and doing well," said Bruce Barket, an attorney for Tartaglione. He said any claim that Tartaglione might have assaulted Epstein "is absolutely not true."

There was a time where you could talk to congress and actually get them to listen and even change their mind on something. No need to yell, insult, stomp your feet or interrupt.

I thought these two were evil.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Wednesday night defended Associate Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch as "very decent" and "very smart" individuals after one of her former law clerks suggested that new nominees lack personal decency.

Ginsburg's comments turned heads on social media, given the contentious and bitterly personal confirmation hearings last year that Kavanaugh said "destroyed" his family.

At an hourlong question-and-answer session, Duke Law professor Neil Siegel lamented that "nominees for the Supreme Court are not chosen primarily anymore for independence, legal ability, personal decency, and I wonder if that’s a loss for all of us."

Ginsburg shot back, "My two newest colleagues are very decent, very smart individuals." The exchange was first reported by The National Review.

We the people need to demand change and encourage good candidates to run and reject hard partisan politics both left and right.

F Apple asunder.

Didn't you get the card from the DNC that Trump doesn't know how to do diplomacy?

And Congress started their six week vacation today. As one person said on Fox Business News this morning the country is better off when Congress is on vacation

She actually applauded him previously for being the first member of SCOTUS to hire all women as law clerks.  Not even any of the women members of the court had done that.

What country do we live in?

A Maine couple named Charlie and Steph Black are pushing back against neighbors who claim the “Thin Blue Line” American flag they flew outside their home to honor Charlie’s late father — an officer killed on duty — is racist.

"This is not a racist white supremacist symbol, and I'm angry it’s portrayed that way," Charlie told local station News Center Maine. His father, Maine State Trooper Charles Black, was shot and killed responding to a bank robbery on July 9, 1964 — leaving behind his wife Mary Andrews Black, who was pregnant with Charlie, and two additional sons.

Good call by the POTUS.

The so called media will ignore this.

Off-duty LAPD officer was trying to stop vandals when he was fatally shot, sources say originally appeared on abcnews.go.com

Investigators have been quiet about the events that led to the fatal shooting of an off-duty Los Angeles Police Department officer over the weekend, but sources with knowledge of the matter said he died after confronting a group of gang-affiliated vandals.

Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore revealed that 24-year-old Juan Diaz had been shot and killed in an "act of senseless violence" early Saturday morning and asked for the community's support in finding his killer.

Moore did not share details about the circumstances surrounding his murder, but police sources told local news outlets, including ABC's Los Angeles station KABC, that the young officer died after approaching a group of male graffiti artists.

Do description provided but no doubt the so called community:

A Texas deputy shot and killed a carjacking suspect who was reportedly beating a K-9 officer with a pistol after a foot chase Monday.

The dead man, who was not identified, was allegedly one of several males reported to have attacked and shot at a man before stealing his vehicle around 11 p.m. in Harris County, according to KPRC-TV, citing the sheriff’s office. The man whose car was stolen wasn’t seriously injured, officials said.

A deputy, who was in the area with a K-9, spotted a vehicle matching the description of the stolen car just after midnight, FOX26 Houston reported, and engaged the men inside in a foot chase when the four suspected carjackers bolted from the vehicle.
The K-9 was the first to catch up to one of the men, who began to hit the dog with a pistol. The deputy ordered the man to stop but he continued beating the animal, police said.

“[He] began striking the K-9 with a pistol, brandishing the weapon at that point," Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez told KPRC-TV. "We don’t know if there was gunfire exchanged, but our deputy did fire at least a shot striking the individual and he was pronounced deceased.”

Police believed the suspect was in his late teens or early 20s, the station reported.
The sheriff’s office said they recovered a pistol at the scene and were also able to detain a second man. Two others remain at large.

The K-9 officer wasn’t injured in the encounter.
