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.

    He’s definitely dead and likely died in prison at the hands of someone, probably an inmate or someone dressed to appear as an inmate.

    It was a message to anyone exposed in this that not even a federal prison will keep someone safe from their reach. Probably why there’s so much due diligence around redacting the co-conspirators and less so on other reductions. If known, those individuals would be added to the same suicide list that Epstein was on after he was indicted and jailed.

    Let’s face it. The rich and powerful we know are just the showmen who want the attention. There are just as likely very rich and powerful people who are also willing and able to remove threats at the mere hint of that threat, whether credible or not.
