Jeffrey Epstein: Jail CCTV erased by 'technical errors'
Source: BBC
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."

Yes. Of course. Technical errors. Who knew?

"official line" that it was suicide?

(14,908 posts)Mossad May have run the show, but the best take goes to the highest bidder.
William Barr US Attorney General Barrs father, Donald Barr, hired Epstein to teach at The Dalton School, decades later Billy Barr would oversee Epsteins arrest and incarceration.
Alexander Acosta When serving as a US Attorney, former Secretary of Labor Acosta arranged a most lenient plea deal that served to protect child sexual predator Epstein from his accusers and justice.
Donald Trump Trump partied hearty with Epstein and his entourage, selected Acosta to head the Department of Labor which investigates sex trafficking, and hired Barr to cover up things that include the Mueller Report.
Kenneth STARR also defended Epstein in 2007 and reportedly played a significant part in helping to secure his plea agreement, according to Dershowitz.

(3,051 posts)1. The neck bone issue, obviously. Yes, they can break. But mainly in old and frail people. And in violent hangings. This was a gentle choke, best case.
2. His neck is bloody like a wire was used. There is no blood on the cloth strip (that has been reported).
3. Video and scene destroyed in a shocking failure to follow protocol. Especially for literally the highest profile prisoner in custody.
4. Guards charged with lying.
5. Lots of powerful and rich people wanted him dead.
This is so clearly a hit I dont know where to start.

(13,051 posts)That doesn't prove a conspiracy, but the now almost equally long list of 'coinkydinks' is making the claim that he wasn't murdered the tin foil hat version of this event.

(14,908 posts)...Nixon once commented that she had "that rare and unique characteristic that marks the difference between a good secretary and a great one - she is always at her best when the pressures are greatest".
Snip...
Haldeman and Woods are not alone in their suspicions of Butterfield, or in their concern over the Inspector General's report. If Bill McMahon is correct, McCord's seconding of CIA personnel in undercover assignments at the White House amounted to the calculated infiltration of a uniquely sensitive Secret Service unit: the staff responsible for maintaining and servicing the presidential taping system, and for storing its product. Moreover, unless both Haldeman and McMahon are mistaken - about Butterfield's secret allegiance and McCord's loan of personnel to Wong - then the CIA would seem to have had unrivaled access to the President's private conversations and thoughts. Charles Colson, among others, believes that this is precisely what occurred. "The CIA had tapes of everything relating to the White House," Colson told me. "And they destroyed them two days after (Senator Mike) Mansfield asked them to save all of their tapes."

(23,955 posts)minimally, seems like there should be a video record of everyone who entered or left the jail between the last time Epstein was seen alive and when he turned up dead. or has that been mistakenly replaced by youtube kitteh videos?
jberryhill
(62,444 posts)Of course the facility has cameras on all the doors, entrances and hallways.
He didnt die in the first attempt, so I dont see what the deal is here.
Is the idea that someone tried to kill him, didnt succeed, and he didnt tell even his attorneys who were trying to get him off suicide watch
Or was he part of the conspiracy too?
