Newly released Department of Justice documents show that investigators reviewing surveillance footage from the night of Jeffrey Epstein’s death observed an orange-colored shape moving up a staircase toward the isolated, locked tier where his cell was located at approximately 10:39 p.m. on Aug. 9, 2019.

That entry in an observation log of the video from the Metropolitan Correctional Center appears to suggest something previously unreported by authorities: “A flash of orange looks to be going up the L Tier stairs — could possibly be an inmate escorted up to that Tier.”

It also appears, according to an FBI memorandum, that reviews by investigators led to disparate conclusions by the FBI and those examining the same video from the Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General.

    Guessing she simply was and is herself - fundamentally, permanently easier to “handle” (manipulate, etc.).

    Behind the Bastards episodes on her father really tell a tale for how a ruined psyche like hers would (did) get started. (It’s a lotta episodes about not-her, to be clear, so don’t dive in with the wrong idea)

    I’m not humanizing that ghoul though, just offering an explanation for why still alive. No matter what led her there, there is exactly zero rehabilitation or sympathy possible as far as I’m concerned.

      She wanted to maintain her royal like lifestyle that her father provided to her, but he mysteriously died on his yacht and she needed a new sugar daddy, so Epstein became that to her. In exchange for giving her the lifestyle she wanted, she used her father’s connections with other wealthy people and Mossad to create their global pedophile network.

        I’m actually going with the take that the pedo thing was just part of that, and that it was (and is)a global compromat network where having all the members be rich and involved in various horrendous crimes -with evidence - was the common feature that allows it be controlled and directed.

        I’m sure there are some “friends” Epstein that aren’t horrible pedos, but probably only because they were involved in some other horrible thing he had dirt on them for
