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.

Don’t worry about those 3 minutes, for real. The radical left would have you believe something bad happened during this, but the video was just so boring we wanted to save you the tedium of viewing it. This video is absolute proof nothing unsavory happened, so quit asking questions and don’t forget to vote Republican in the primaries!
You had me at “the radical left.”
It’s all intentional, these are gangster tactics. You are supposed to cover up the assassination but not that well, so the message gets out, we can kill you if you talk and make it look like an accident/suicide whatever. That’s why the sloppy editing etc.
This happened with the panama papers as well.
KGB tactics.
And no one was shocked or surprised.
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.
More importantly, the video doesnt match the photos released in 2019. There is a difference in railing color, door and other differences. The video seems to be from a different location in the same building.

Yeah, this I don’t get, it’s a video mostly (entirely for all I know) of a door with nothing happening except a timestamp. Seems supremely easy to fake if you were so conspiracy minded, while a gap between 11:59PM and 12:00AM seems both right when a scheduled outage would be and way too narrow and specific a timeline to carry out such a plan.
A conspiracy that could edit a gap in the video is a conspiracy that could have faked the footage just as easily.
Russia: “Accidentally falls out window”
USA: “Suicide when CCTV is ‘malfunctioning’”
Accidentally falls out a window that was made of reinforced glass and he crashed through it in ways that even a large man charging at it at full force would still have a hard time shattering.
Because we have a little thing called ‘tact’
Tegridy!
So what is the research trail, to find who edited that video? Then, who asked for it to be edited?
You mean MJCOLE~1? The editing seems to be to splice two distinct video files together to cover a contiguous period of time, but there is a gap of coverage, despite a potential overlap in the durations. Seems like a milquetoast “release one video” request and so someone did a quick edit to join the two video files together.
The gap is between 11:59 and 12:00 AM, almost to the second. The explanation is the system restarts for maintenance at midnight, and that the missing minute was simply a normal gap in the system. Wired highlights that the pre-reset clip was long enough to more than cover the final gap, but they might have trimmed ‘NO SIGNAL’ sort of video that might have been in the recording as an artifact of the reset.
Frankly, if they asserted that much control over the surveillance video as to edit it, they could have just as easily faked it. There’s hours of nothing but static interior shot with nothing other than the timestamp to claim anything specifically. In a way making a big deal of the gap only bolsters the credibility of footage that really shouldn’t be taken to provide evidence one way or another about anything.
Man. It when from no video exists to missing clips pretty fast
They’ve always said there was a camera covering the entrance to Epstein’s wing.
What they didn’t say was that only a sliver of the doorway is visible and there are multiple examples of staff entering and leaving the wing without being detected by the camera.
Yeah, I think if this is truly the only video they have considered vaguely close to “having a video”, it was a fair description to say “we don’t have video”.
I’ve not seen the footage but was there any video of him even tying a noose? Like I’m sure creating and tying up some sort of rudimentary noose to hang yourself must take at least 30 seconds depending on how quickly you’re trying to do it.
I haven’t watched the video but it sounds like it doesn’t actually show Epstein’s cell. The camera shows an area someone would need to walk through to get to his cell.
It show an obstructed view. It’s possible to enter the wing without being caught on that camera.
TIL it takes 3 minutes to murder someone and make it “look like a suicide”
You don’t even need time around the cell for this. Just threaten with something that would be worse than suicide.
I mean, the last footage wasn’t of his door, so you just need a few seconds to slip past the cameras each time
The camera doesn’t even cover the full doorway.
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.
The absolute cowardice of the Democrat party is supremely laughably sad. The US is no longer controlled by a government. Just rich people. Maybe it always has been.
Hmmm.
Funny. Almost like he didn’t kill himself.
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
When all the guards simultaneously fell asleep,
In the released video the guards are far from asleep.
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.
Lying and being wildly incompetent are like hallmarks of the Trump regime.
Didn’t they find that the video was run at 1.01 speed, making it seem like there was more time missing than was actually missing?
Different issues. The 101% issue is that the released video is shorter than the time elapsed on the timestamps. The difference between timestamp and playback speed adds up over time to 7ish minutes iirc.
This issue is that the video is made from two clips. One cuts out at 11:58:58 and the other immediately cuts in at 12:00:00, showing a 00:01:02 gap in the timestamps. Examination of the file shows details of the source clips, indicating that the first clip continued for multiple minutes after the cut. That would make it overlap with the second clip, which is played in its entirety.
That would be less than a 2 second difference from the 3 minutes that was cut from the video.
It was an eleven hour video run at 101%, not just three minutes. You can read about it here.
