Video From Outside Jeffrey Epstein’s Cell “No Longer Exists,” Government Says

Via ZeroHedge

A new Rasmussen poll shows that just 21 per cent of Americans believe Jeffrey Epstein killed himself while 52 per cent believe he was murdered.

It should come as no surprise that so few people believe the official narrative as The Epoch Times’ Zachary Stieber reports that video footage from outside Jeffrey Epstein’s cell actually “no longer exists,” the government said in a new letter, less than a month after prosecutors initially said the footage wasn’t available, before quickly saying in an update that the footage had been found.

Writing to U.S. District Judge Kenneth Karas, prosecutors Maurene Comey and Jason Swergold said there was a mix-up when they asked the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) to preserve the footage from outside the cell.

Epstein was found unconscious with marks around his neck early July 23, 2019. Epstein’s cellmate at the time was accused murderer Nicholas Tartaglione. The defendant’s lawyer requested video footage from outside Epstein’s cell from July 22 and July 23, 2019.

Prosecutors told the defense on Dec. 19, 2019, that it confirmed with staff at the center that the footage was preserved. On Jan. 3, the center provided the government with a copy of the video it preserved.

“After reviewing the video, it appeared to the government that the footage contained on the preserved video was for the correct date and time, but captured a different tier” than the one where Epstein and Tartaglione’s cell was, prosecutors wrote in the letter.

Legal counsel at MCC told prosecutors that the computer system at the center listed a different cell for Tartaglione, leading to staff preserving the wrong video.

While the center has a backup system in place to house all video footage for its Special Housing Unit, where Epstein and Tartaglione were being held, the FBI reviewed the system as part of a separate investigation “and determined that the requested video no longer exists on the backup system and has not since at least August 2019 as a result of technical errors.”

The update is the third change in the government’s position on the video footage.

On Dec. 18, 2019, Swergold, the assistant U.S. attorney, told Karas in court that nobody could find the video. A day later, he and Comey wrote to Karas to tell him that the government confirmed with staff at the MCC that the video was preserved.

Epstein, 66, died about two weeks after the July 23, 2019, incident. He was awaiting trial on child sex trafficking charges.

The government letter also came a day after a judge in Florida denied an effort to release records from the 2006 grand jury that indicted Epstein on a felony prostitution count.

“It sounds like a fishing expedition to me,” Chief Circuit Judge Krista Marx told Assistant State Attorney Marshall Levering Evans, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported. She added, “I’m not understanding how it will be helpful and to what end.”

How do you figure? Epstein is free, and the case is closed. Hillary’s brother and all those abused white girls don’t see it as a win though.

Love this bullshit we are being handed:

“After reviewing the video, it appeared to the government that the footage contained on the preserved video was for the correct date and time, but captured a different tier” than the one where Epstein and Tartaglione’s cell was, prosecutors wrote in the letter.

Legal counsel at MCC told prosecutors that the computer system at the center listed a different cell for Tartaglione, leading to staff preserving the wrong video.”

Reminds me of the classic scene from Stripes when the boys got hauled in front of the brass after getting into a scrape in town at a strip club:

Captain Stillman:
Well, explain yourselves.

Dewey Oxburger:
Well sir, we were going to this bingo parlor at the YMCA, well one after another things got all fouled up and we ended up…

Captain Stillman:
Shut up.

The government is Dewey trying to get themselves out of a pickle where they have no reasonable and honest way out, so they resort to the “we were going to the bingo parlor at the YMCA, well one after another things got all fouled up” excuse.

A growing segment of the American people is FINALLY getting to the point of becoming Captain Stillman!!!

The government–that is, the oligarchs in charge–must know that the great majority of people know they’re lying about this–and pretty much everything else important. They don’t care because they think they’re untouchable. So far they’re right. But, little by little–with each egregious lie–the oligarchs are losing the consent of the people to be governed. The tipping point can’t be far off. Then the revolution shall commence. Let’s keep our pitchforks sharp.

“they think they’re untouchable”

and they’re right. they don’t even live here. any “revolution” would be waged against their plowhorses, not them, which would suit them just fine. they’ll step back, celebrate while the war rages, wait for everyone to calm down and rebuild and create wealth again, then quietly move back in, bribing and insinuating their way into control over whoever would profit them, and do it all again. in every generation.

It was noted that during the French Revolution when the commoners overthrew the rich and powerful ruling aristocracy of the time that not even a single pane of glass was broken on any of Lord Rothschild’s 600 properties. Go figure.

Only 52%? That tells us that 48% of Muricans are too stupid to pay attention to. Probably the same percentage who think prince Charles is Harry’s father. Or Bill Clinton is Chelsea’s father. Or that Pierre Trudeau is Justin’s father. MuthaFuggers all of them.

epstein is still alive, living it up on a beach in tel aviv or jerusalem after receiving cosmetic surgery to mask his identity. He is being protected by “deep state” ((jewish)) types. Some poor “schmuck” “took one for the team” and paid with his life. epstein’s “body double” was probably an inmate with no family on the outside, making it easy to spirit the “real” epstein out of prison and out of the country to israel.
Anyone who believes the “epstein is dead” fairy tale is dead wrong…

Jeffrey’s Dead
Curtis Mayfield

Jeffrey’s dead
That’s what I said
He let the man crack a plan
Said he’d send him home
But his hope was a rope
And he should’ve known
Everybody’s disowned him
Wrote him off and suicided him
Another flunkie plan
Pushing girls for the man
A terrible blow
But that’s how it goes
A Jeffrey’s at the coroner’s now
If you want to be a flunkie, wow
Remember Jeffrey’s dead
We’re all hooked up with largess
But sometimes I must confess
We can deal with hush money and bribes
But longevity, what does it mean
Ain’t nothing said
‘Cause Jeffrey’s dead

Young girls
Ha, ha
Young girls
Yeah, yeah

Jeffrey’s dead
All they want is some pussy pie
Just a little love they trying to find
This could be such a beautiful world
With a wonderful girl
Why do I need a woman child
Don’t want to be like Jeffrey now
‘Cause Jeffrey’s dead
Everybody’s disowned him
Wrote him off and suicided him
Another flunkie plan
Pushing girls for the man
A Jeffrey’s at the coroner’s now
If you want to be a flunkie, why
Remember Jeffrey’s dead
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Jeffrey’s dead

sooo, there were NO Other Street Cameras anywhere on that street that would have shown who entered and left the building during the time immediately before and after the (ahem) suicide?? “In dark of night and dreadful sin the group conceived its plan, and in their secret wickedness they lured the lustful man. There is a Judge whose awe-ful law shall all their deeds require, better to face assassin’s grin than risk a jury’s ire”

When you have a job and you eff it up enough times you get canned. When you have a job and you eff it up once bad enough, you get canned. When you have a job and eff it up and then lie to cover your ass you get canned. The fucking bureaucracy in this country is like a fucking neck tattoo. The only way to really get rid of it is by amputation…but no one has the fortitude for that.
