Busted. DOJ Edits Epstein Video With Microsoft Paint

The Department of Justice has come under scrutiny following the release of surveillance footage from Jeffrey Epstein's final hours in a New York prison, with online investigators claiming the video shows signs of rudimentary editing.

The footage, which spans nearly 11 hours and depicts the area outside Epstein's cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, was made public as part of an effort to address longstanding questions about his death, officially ruled a suicide by hanging.

Epstein, a financier convicted of sex trafficking minors and connected to numerous high-profile figures, died while awaiting trial, prompting theories that the incident involved foul play due to malfunctioning cameras and guard lapses.

Analysts examining the video's metadata reported modifications that suggest alterations using basic software, specifically an outdated version of Microsoft Paint from the early 2000s.

This tool, known for its simple pixel-editing capabilities, lacks advanced features for video manipulation and has been linked in conspiracy circles to previous government inquiries, including reviews of footage from the September 11 attacks.

The discovery has fueled debates about the integrity of federal evidence handling, particularly given a missing minute in the timeline that aligns with the time of Epstein's reported death.

The revelations have sparked internal tensions within the Justice Department, leading to a public dispute among key officials. Kash Patel, the FBI director, expressed frustration over the handling of the files.

"This kind of amateur hour editing undermines everything we've built," Patel stated during a briefing.

Experts note that Microsoft Paint from that era could only handle static images, making its use on video frames a cumbersome process prone to visible artifacts. Such methods, if employed, would likely leave traces like mismatched pixels or color inconsistencies, which some sleuths claim to have identified in the released clips.

Forensic reviews of the video have highlighted ambiguities in how the files were processed, with no conclusive proof of deceptive intent but enough irregularities to invite speculation.

The early 2000s Paint version, discontinued in later Windows updates, was notorious for its limited undo history and lack of layers, complicating any sophisticated edits.

Pam Bondi, the attorney general, defended the department's transparency efforts amid the backlash.

"We're committed to full disclosure, and any suggestions of coverups are baseless," Bondi remarked in a statement.

The ongoing analysis by independent digital experts continues to dissect the footage frame by frame, raising broader questions about federal protocols for preserving sensitive evidence.
