Prosecutors Found Epstein’s Hard Drives & Videos during Raid but They Never Entered Into Evidence

When Jeffrey Epstein’s New York City mansion was raided by authorities in 2019, investigators found boxes of hard drives and videos that were never entered into evidence by prosecutors.

Images from the raid show boxes of burned CDs, hard drives, and videos that were all individually labeled by Epstein.

However, authorities concealed the labels in all images, presumably to mask the identity of the people named in the labels.

As Slay News has previously reported, multiple victims and witnesses have alleged that Epstein gloated about having compromising videos and images of powerful people that he held against them.

This week, the first batch of documents are due to be made public that will name over 180 people linked to Epstein.

The first 150 names are due to be unsealed on January 3, with the rest of the names published later this month.

However, the release of the docs has raised more questions about other vital evidence that has not been disclosed.

WATCH:

VIDEO AT LINK....................

In December 2021, an FBI special agent testified to a New York court in Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex trafficking trial that evidence “went missing” from Epstein’s New York townhouse.

Special Agent Kelly Maguire recalled how CDs and other items were recovered by the FBI from a locked safe during an initial search of the Manhattan home on July 6 and July 7, 2019.

The raid was conducted shortly after Epstein’s arrest on sex assault charges.

The FBI agent said officers broke open the safe with a saw, finding the CDs, jewelry, computer hard drives, “loose diamonds”, passports, and “large amounts of US currency.”

They took photographs of the items, with images of the evidence being publicly available.

However, the hard drives, videos, and CDs never made it into evidence and mysteriously disappeared.

Agent Maguire, a member of an FBI Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force, said she could not confirm the content on the CDs but confirmed all the items were accounted for.

Boxes of CDs and hard drives were discovered in several rooms in Epstein’s eight-storey Upper East Side apartment in Manhattan, including in a so-called massage room.

Some, Agent McGuire testified, had “evidence tape” sealing them.

She told the court the tape had not been put there by police.

On the fifth floor, FBI agents also found a shelf full of large black binders.

The binders held CDs, carefully categorized in plastic slipcovers and thumbnails with photos on them.

Another FBI agent who took to the stand on the sixth day of Ms Maxwell’s sex-trafficking trial confirmed one CD contained a photograph of the British socialite and Epstein.

Federal prosecutors previously alluded to the contents of the safe in July 2019, when they sought to have a judge deny Epstein’s bail application later that month.

According to reports at the time, a trove of lewd photographs of children was found in the safe at the property.

Court papers said that alongside photos were compact discs with handwritten labels including: “‘Young [Name] + [Name],’ ‘Misc nudes 1,’ and ‘Girl pics nude.’”

There was also a passport from a foreign country with a picture of Epstein under another name.

The mansion had 40 rooms and Ms Maguire testified that it took about 12 hours for her team to fully search.

And that my friends is where the true evidence is.

I wonder why there are no “Woodwards and Bernsteins” out there that are curious why Epstein and Maxwell were convicted of sex trafficking of minors, but none of their “clients” have investigated for statutory rape or sex trafficking?

Probably the same reason Hunter hasn’t been charged with interstate transportation for sex . . .

Whenever important documents like these are destroyed, it must be because the penalty for destruction of documents is much less than the penalty for the incriminating information that the documents would have exposed. I recall this happening during the Clinton administration.

how much do you think the videos & hard drive are worth on today’s market?

PS: how much have they been worth over the past 10-12 years?

Epstein gloated about having compromising videos and images of powerful people that he held against them.

He who gloats first doesn't realize that the Friends of Biden Incorporated are a weapon of the American PedoElite, including Ol' Rumpleforeskin himself.

Those hard drives didn't hang themselves...

I’m comfortable in saying that there are probably senators and congressmen who are named, or even photographed in that material. Maybe from both parties. It might explain some of the strange behavior we’ve seen from some of them.

‘Burning’ is the slang term for recording onto a CD.
It is done with a laser and most cannot be erased.
I have ‘burned’ many CDs and DVDs..............

I wonder if Epstein was a CIA asset who was obtaining material to blackmail the creeps in government and in C-suites in businesses and that the CIA offed him in his cell at Riker’s Island to keep him from saving his own sorry butt.
