irregularities at this facility that are deeply concerning and demand a thorough investigation. >> so william barr is clearly going point downward and blame hugh hurwitz or someone lower down the chain of command at the federal correction center in new york where jeffrey epstein died. maybe the barr investigation will ultimately point the finger at the unionized guards who failed to keep jeffrey epstein alive. or the chief psychologist of the correctional center who was supposed to be in charge of the suicide watch of jeffrey epstein and the aftermath of the suicide watch of jeffrey epstein. after jeffrey epstein reportedly tried to kill himself last month he was placed on suicide watch for some period of time and then reportedly taken off suicide watch. the federal bureau of prisons rules for suicide watches were written in 2007 when hugh hurwitz was working at the department of education. it's entirely possible hugh hurwitz had no idea what those rules were until he got the judiciary committee's letter tonight. one of the rules says once an inmate has been placed on watch "the watch may not be t

how does all of that fall apart under william barr? >> you know, ininexplicably falls apart. here's the reality, barr testified on capitol hill four months ago. not only does he run the bureau of prisons, he was on notice they were short-staffed. he was questioned about the circumstances that led to whitey bulger's murder in prison. he knew the bureau of prisons, which takes a big chunk of doj's budget up because it's very expensive to run, they were understaffed. he likely knew there were people working more shifts than they should be working. he should have been aware that could become a problem with jeffrey epstein and directed that they take special steps at mcc to ensure he's being properly supervised. >> i guess it just doesn't reason out. if you've got the hand size to say i'm going to stidecide what mueller couldn't on obstruction, you know the happened size to see it brought to justice. >> all of that makes absolutely no sense to me. but i will pan out quickly, the key to joyce's piece is the integrity of the justice department is being fundamentally undermined. what
