Newly uncovered metadata reveals that nearly three minutes of footage were cut from what the US Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation described as “full raw” surveillance video from the only functioning camera near Jeffrey Epstein’s prison cell the night before he was found dead. The video was released last week as part of the Trump administration’s commitment to fully investigate Epstein’s 2019 death but instead has raised new questions about how the footage was edited and assembled.

    Could this be just clever editing? Does it need to be even 3 minutes of missing footage if you just cut entry and exit of some individual and replace them with fake or repeat frames.

    Whole missing minute thing could be distraction.

    Simple explanation. When all the guards simultaneously fell asleep, one of them accidentally cut the power to the security system.

    You can’t expect the Justice Department to provide footage that was never recorded in a freak accident that is totally not suspicious at all. It’s not like Epstein had mountains of dirt on the wealthiest and most evil people on the planet doing unspeakably horrible things to innocent children.

    We should all just accept this ridiculous story as true and let the rich evil people get back to doing… whatever it was they were doing. I’ve already forgotten

      Also don’t mind that cellmate that got transferred out shortly before Epstein “killed himself”. Such an unfortunate series of coincidences

        I would guess that most of the time when a prisoner kills themselves it’s when they don’t have a cellmate. A cellmate is probably likely to stop someone or to call the guards, rather than just watch someone die.

          Yes, which is why it was protocol that Epstein be assigned a cellmate specifically to reduce the chance of him committing suicide and a new cellmate should have been transferred in if the other one was scheduled to be removed for legitimate reasons

    Alright, for arguments sake, let’s give them the benefit of the doubt here. Let’s assume that there was no one that entered or exited his room that night, that he killed himself alone in the room, that they released the tape in a good faith effort to show the truth to the world, and that, due to corruption or whatever unavoidable issue, those minutes were lost through no nefarious means and those missing minutes would have been as clean as the rest of the tape… They’re still morons for releasing it! How the fuck did they think that missing time would be interpreted!? They stoke conspiracy on the daily like it is their job with WAY less blatantly suspicious circumstances than this. Even if they weren’t a bunch of evil fascists that are definitely trying to hide something, but just otherwise normal morons, they deserve the fallout of this for being that stupid.

      It’s a loyalty test. MAGA is a cult, and all about believing obvious lies. The more egregious the lie believed, the more it locks people into the cult. Anyone with a weak faith in the cult who shows dissent can be purged.

    It is darkly funny, on multiple levels, that thus far the best impediment to the Mechanazis is their own dumb fucking incompetence.

    They certainly are not being thwarted by an “opposition” that is cowardly and craven, if not outright complicit.

      It’s especially funny that what’s finally undoing them is a conspiracy theory. The whole MAGA movement is founded on conspiracies. Just before starting his run for President, Trump was the birther in chief, pushing the conspiracy that Obama was Kenyan. Live by the sword, die by the sword, I guess.

    Jeffrey Epstein died August 10, 2019, when Donald Trump was President, he promised that all facts would become publicly available, now he don’t want that, video had nearly 3 minutes cut out. What are the conspiracy theorists waiting for?
