FBI's 'Raw' Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Was Likely Modified

[garybeck]

https://www.wired.com/story/metadata-shows-the-dojs-raw-jeffrey-epstein-prison-video-was-likely-modified/

The United States Department of Justice this week released nearly 11 hours of what it described as “full raw” surveillance footage from a camera positioned near Jeffrey Epstein’s prison cell the night before he was found dead. The release was intended to address conspiracy theories about Epstein’s apparent suicide in federal custody. But instead of putting those suspicions to rest, it may fuel them further.

Metadata embedded in the video and analyzed by WIRED and independent video forensics experts shows that rather than being a direct export from the prison’s surveillance system, the footage was modified, likely using the professional editing tool Adobe Premiere Pro. The file appears to have been assembled from at least two source clips, saved multiple times, exported, and then uploaded to the DOJ’s website, where it was presented as “raw” footage.

1. Incompetence on so many levels.

First, if you want something to go away you don't drip drip drip evidence to the public.

Second, anytime you release 11 hours of surveillance video you're begging people to question "why?" And start to wonder if there's something going on.

Third, if you do steps 1 and 2 above you better be 100% clean, because if not you've just called attention to something you're obviously trying to hide!

[H2O Man]

6. My older son

e-mailed me a link to the video. Before I found his message, he walked into the room and said I needed to watch it. We did.

It's almost as if they are too stupid to recognize they raise more suspicions.

[yardwork]

34. We don't know if it's total incompetence or deliberate deflection.

Are they trying to distract us? Who knows.

[H2O Man]

39. I think it

near equal parts of incompetence and deliberate attempts to distract. A dangerous brew.

[S/V Loner]

37. Keep in mind that...

the only people they care about fooling are Maga’s and they will believe anything they are told by that bunch.

[BoRaGard]

2. Sleazeball republicon pedos are lying - Bearing False Witness

G.O.P. is pissing all over the Ten Commandments again. So anti-christian. Does Satan control them, or what?

[BurnDoubt]

31. I LOVE THIS!

[Martin68]

44. Their kind invented Satan.

[irisblue]

3. To quote Captian Renaut. "I'm shocked, shocked ..."

[spanone]

4. trmp killed him.

[DENVERPOPS]

22. It could have been Trump's henchmen..........

But there was NO shortage of Republican Uber Rich, Politicians, and other perverts that had something to gain by having Epstein go bye-bye.....
INCLUDING a number of famous or should I say "infamous" Dems............Clinton, Gates, etc

Seems everyone has forgotten about the other serious Perv, Rush Limbaugh who would use his jet take him & his guy buddies on sex junkets also...

[BurnDoubt]

33. (Rudy, Rudy, Rudy......................................................................................)

Rudy and Roger
Rudy told us he was in the NY FBI every day. I wonder what he was doing? Actually, I don't.
I'm sure Roger was watching over his shoulder, and they have the info that grows a handle on anyone they want to.
All the working parts are there.
And they are up to it, and on form.

[Scott Alan Swaggerty]

48. Yep

[Marthe48]

5. The important part was deleted by Rosemary Woods' ghost

n/t

[RockRaven]

7. The lies they choose to tell just make things worse for them.

This is all avoidable by telling the absolute truth with no spin or obfuscation -- but these degenerates are not capable of doing so.

[gab13by13]

9. I doubt they are going to say they murdered Epstein.

[Scott Alan Swaggerty]

49. No, no they are not capable

[Kid Berwyn]

8. Is that the same camera that went dead all of a sudden when Epstein did?

Jeffrey Epstein: Jail CCTV erased by 'technical errors'

BBC, January 10, 2020

Surveillance video from disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein's first suspected suicide attempt was destroyed by accident, prosecutors say.

US attorneys say the jail mistakenly saved footage from the wrong cell.

Epstein, a convicted sex offender, hanged himself in jail in August while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges.

He had pleaded not guilty to sexually abusing dozens of girls, some as young as 14.

Snip...

"The requested video no longer exists on the backup system and has not since at least August 2019 as a result of technical errors."

10. We already know the one video is missing 1 minute and 2 seconds.

Trump DOJ’s ‘Full’ Epstein Video Is Missing One Minute

The video was finally released on Monday, and as promised, the administration put out both “raw” and “enhanced” versions. But the videos only reinforced the idea that “shenanigans” are afoot as both are missing a full minute of footage.

If you skip through the two 11-hour videos, you’ll see the counter on the screen jumps from 11:58:58 p.m. to 12:00:00 a.m. Gizmodo put together a video highlighting that moment:

Links to the previously unreleased footage were included in a two-page memo released by the DOJ and FBI on Monday. It said a “systematic review” by the agencies concluded there is no Epstein “client list,” there is no incriminating evidence that warrants an investigation into the pedophile’s powerful associates, and there will be no further releases of Epstein-related materials. The memo concludes by citing the surveillance video as further evidence that Epstein did in fact kill himself:

The missing minute isn’t the only fishy aspect of the new footage. As Gizmodo explains, the door to Epstein’s cell appears to be just off-camera, and the video does not match previously released crime-scene photos:

11. Jeffrey Epstein's slimy sexual deviance.....

might just end up saving America.

[ShazzieB]

18. I wish I could believe that.

That would be fantastic, but the cover-up continues. From the NYMag article cited in post #10: above:

...a “systematic review” by the agencies [i.e. the FBI and DOJ]
concluded there is no Epstein “client list,” there is no incriminating evidence that warrants an investigation into the pedophile’s powerful associates, and there will be no further releases of Epstein-related materials.. The memo concludes by citing the surveillance video as further evidence that Epstein did in fact kill himself.

As long as Schlump is still in power and his lackeys Bondi and Patel continue to stonewall for him (however ineptly), I'm not optimistic about the truth coming to light.

[ananda]

26. People already voted for a convicted criminal/rapist/conman.

So .....

[TheRickles]

42. Ironically, it might be up to Elon Musk to release the videos (I"m sure he has copies).

[Midnight Writer]

12. After years of hearing this Bongino railing about "The Epstein Files" cover-up every day

Now Bongino is in charge of the cover-up.

Corruption is a virus, and this Administration is fatally infected.

[gab13by13]

13. We shouldn't underestimate Krasnov's depravity.

Krasnov may want to send the message that he will murder anyone who threatens him?

[2na fisherman]

14. Make It Look Like Suicide

He was supposed to be on special watch in his cell. The guy probably had tales to tell about many of the worlds rich and famous doing the pedo stuff with teens. There are numerous state intelligence services who have expert assassins capable of this kind of removal to avoid political fallout. He was in way over his head and thought he had friends who would protect him. He should have had a "dead-man" trigger so all the beans would be spilled to major news outlets upon his untimely death. That may have been his only way to protect himself.

[pacalo]

16. It only takes a minute to kill someone...

especially when the target is already restrained in his environment.

In the movie “Michael Clayton”, watch how quickly Tom Wilkinson is murdered by corporate henchmen:

[Disaffected]

23. Except that took more than two minutes. nt

[pacalo]

27. I used the term "restrained" for that reason.

Tom Wilkinson’s character was going out the door when confronted, taking more time to subdue him & to take him back inside for privacy.

In Epstein’s case, he could be assassinated with one toady preventing him from screaming for help, while another injects poison in between the toes to prevent detection.

[cstanleytech]

17. Assisted suicide perhaps?

[Dave Bowman]

19. There are so many fishy things about this that it stinks to high heaven.

30. Epstein-Barr Old Family Ties

The Ties That Bind Jeffrey Epstein, William Barr & Donald Trump

Todd Neikirk
Hill Reporter, May 19, 2019

During Attorney General, William Barr’s confirmation hearing, he was mostly peppered with questions about how he would handle the Mueller Report. Senator Ben Sasse’s (R-NE) questioning, however, diverged from the pack. Sasse asked Barr about the lenient sentence given out to billionaire pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein. The future Attorney General told Sasse that he would look into the matter.

This, however, was not the first connection between Barr and his family and the disgraced pedophile. In 1973, Barr’s father Donald, the headmaster at Manhattan’s Dalton School, hired Epstein as a calculus and physics teacher.

While hiring Epstein, a noted mathematics genius, was not strange on its face, the hire was unusual for a number of reasons. Epstein had not earned a college degree as he dropped out of New York’s prestigious Cooper Union. The other odd circumstance was that the new teacher was only 20 years of age.

Apparently, the hire was a successful one. The New Yorker wrote in a 2003 profile on Epstein, “he was something of a Robin Williams–in–Dead Poets Society type of figure, wowing his high-school classes with passionate mathematical riffs.” Epstein’s mathematical skills caught the eye of Bear Stearns’ chairman, Alan “Ace” Greenberg, whose son attended the Dalton School. Greenberg hired Epstein as an options trader and the former teacher was able to amass a fortune.

35. gifted, but not a genius

I write about real mathematical geniuses and have known a few personally. Epstein doesn't make the grade. I'd explain more if I hadn't just come in from this heat. Maybe later.

I will grant that he's gifted but his "genius," if you want to call it that, lends itself more to criminality. Kind of like trump. He is so damaged he had to commit crimes.

Kind of like trump.

[Kid Berwyn]

40. The inability to feel love or shame seems more psycho...

...than brainy. Neither man shows concern for others' suffering as much as themselves getting charged criminally.

One example, absolutely sick, shows how one really is ranked below the other...

Jeffrey Epstein Accuser: When Donald Trump Eyed Me, Epstein Remarked ‘She’s Not for You’

by JERRY LAMBE
Law & Crime.org, Aug. 26th, 2019, 1:29 pm 305

In a harrowing report from the New York Times on Monday, sisters Maria Farmer and Annie Farmer divulged details of the earliest known reports to authorities of Jeffrey Epstein’s illicit sexual contact with young women and young girls. They accused both Epstein and his alleged madam Ghislaine Maxwell of sexually assaulting them as early as 1996, a year before actress and model Alicia Arden filed a police report claiming that Epstein groped her.

Recounting one of her first memories of life in Epstein’s orbit, Maria Farmer said she remembered one particular interaction between Epstein and President Donald Trump, during which Epstein appeared to shoot down the future president of the United States after he allegedly ogled the 25-year-old Farmer.

Farmer was an artist who moved to New York City in 1993 to pursue a career in the arts. She said she was introduced to Epstein and Maxwell after graduating from the New York Academy of Art, both of whom took an immediate interest in the young woman. Epstein quickly offered her a position acquisitioning art and managing his townhouse entrance, which meant she frequently found herself in the palatial estate.

Farmer was in Epstein’s office when she first met Donald Trump. According to the report, Trump was “eyeing” Farmer when Epstein jumped in, telling Trump “she’s not for you.” The Times said Farmer’s mother, Janice Swain, vouched for the account of the Trump-Epstein interaction, saying her daughter detailed it to her around the time it happened.

Trump obeyed Epstein, which shows who was Boss.

[Dave Bowman]

38. Interesting read, thanks.

[zorbasd]

20. These fascist MAGAT influencers were at

the forefront of the Epstien file conspiracies for so many years talking about the deep state, are now working in the government deep state, being big time conspirators. FFS.

[Bristlecone]

21. I'd say "unbelievable" with exasperation, but

It’s all too believable.

[gab13by13]

24. Didn't Epstein commit suicide twice?

The 1st one didn't work.

Maybe I'm misremembering?

[Maru Kitteh]

25. LOL. Did the FBI fire everybody who's ever worked with EXIF data?

Ye gods.

[Nasruddin]

41. Villains

I prefer my villains have savoir-faire, know how not no how.

This crew is pathetic. They need to be in another line of work.

[azureblue]

28. more like done with iMovie

a section from another source was spliced in - the aspect ratio doesn't match and the time codes are off. IOW, there is more than a one minute gap. And that isn't his cell door, either..

A really hack job of creating false evidence.

[Hornedfrog2000]

29. Guys theres a reasonable explanation for all of this.

Both security officers fell asleep when he died. It was an accident.

[OMGWTF]

45. Sure, Jan

[Scott Alan Swaggerty]

50. LOL, good one

[underpants]

32. They were trying to hide that they edited and spliced it together

[Kablooie]

36. So it's more likely he was murdered

The only reason they would edit this is if there was something they didn’t want you to see. That means it could be evidence that he was murdered like someone going into his cell.

[Beowulf42]

43. Even When..

you think they might actually be not lying ....... they are still lying.

[2na fisherman]

46. Coerced Suicide?

Even if you believe he wasn't murdered, perhaps he was forced to take his own life and provided with the means to do it if he had his family members threatened with a gruesome end. So he agreed to kill himself to save them.
OR, he was driven to madness by a combination of psychoactive drugs and non-stop voices projected into his head a la Project MKUltra until he wanted to die and the means were provided to him. So suicide is the chosen cover story to be the plausible explanation for the dead man who can tell no tales.

[Scott Alan Swaggerty]

47. They tried to hide something
