    I know it’s not relevant to this, but wow she is turning into the same ghoulish blonde undead looking person as those who tread this path before her. She has aged 10 years in 1 year. The stress of all that lying is showing.

    I don’t tend to believe in conspiracies, but man they make it difficult by just constantly being the shadiest motherfuckers.

      learned from the Bureau of Prisons is every night they redo that video. … So, every night the video is reset, and every night should have the same minute missing."

      If this was a plot point in a mission impossible movie or some court drama, it would be panned as lazy and unoriginal. At best, this would be negligence on the people running the Bureau of Prisons as this was not standard for 2009 technology, let alone 2019. This smells like hiding behind technical BS from someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

        I’ve seen that government. If their bureau of prisons is using a system that was current in 2019 I’ll eat at Arby’s

      Conspiracies need to be small and self contained. The more people involved, and the longer it needs to hold, the less likely it is.

      E.g. 9-11 being a government conspiracy with 1000s involved in the cover up? Likely false. George Bush getting info about an imminent attack, then having the info buried, since it would be useful? Far more plausible.

      In this case, the elite standing in lockstep to cover their own arses is quite plausible. It also fits that the group is already too large to keep the conspiracy contained, and so information is leaking like a sieve.

    every night they redo that video. … So, every night the video is reset

    What is “redo that video”? What does “the video is reset” mean? Is this dummy-speak for “the recordings are rolled over into a new file at midnight”? Why would this cause a missing minute?

      They physically remove the VHS tapes in order, and place another tape back in and hit the record button manually. Then write the dates on the box with a sharpie and put them in the rack to save for backups. The tapes only hold 8 hours so they have to swap them 3 times a day, which ends up losing about a minute a piece.

        But that isn’t what happened. This was a DVR system. So someone who didn’t understand the new tech but was familiar with old school tapes came up with the lie. Or AI came up with the lie.

    An analysis of the prison video recorded from outside Jeffrey Epstein’s prison cell found that nearly three minutes appeared to be missing. However, Attorney General Pam Bondi claimed last week that just one minute of the recording had been omitted.

    The analysis, published by Wired on Tuesday, determined that “approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips.”

    Look, it’s simply not possible to strangle a guy and break his neck in less than three minutes. It takes, ooh, like, thirty minutes, minimum. So, fake news, obvs

    So I’m sure there will be a fraud charge leveled against Bondi, right? Because thats what she just did.
