Surveillance footage from outside Jeffrey Epstein’s cell during his suicide attempt was destroyed, prosecutors revealed Thursday.
The revelation in a letter filed by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Maurene Comey and Jason Swergold is the latest head-spinning disclosure from the feds about the footage from the Metropolitan Correctional Center on July 22 and 23. Epstein attempted to hang himself that night while sharing a cell with accused quadruple murderer Nick Tartaglione, officials have said.
Swergold initially said last month in White Plains Federal Court that the video had not been preserved. He reversed himself less than 24 hours later, saying it had been archived.
Now, the feds say that due to a record-keeping error, MCC staff preserved footage from outside the wrong cell.

LOL!
What are the odds?
The revelation in a letter filed by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Maurene Comey and Jason Swergold...
Swergold initially said last month in White Plains Federal Court that the video had not been preserved. He reversed himself less than 24 hours later, saying it had been archived.
Now, the feds say that due to a record-keeping error, MCC staff preserved footage from outside the wrong cell.

Even worse, there was a backup system for the video footage, but that wasn’t working, either.
If the Prosecutor’s name sound familiar, yes Maureen Comey is Jim Comey’s daughter. Not sure if the same daughter that was Marching with Comey’s wife in the “pussyhat” March, but regardless, why would the Trump appointed US Attorney of the Souther District assign her to the Epstein case! She may be the lost ethical and honest person on the planet (given her lineage I doubt it) but come on!
That one gets me every time I see it (or post it).
The “Toons” don’t mess around...never have, never will.
Cross em and you die. Even POTUS Trump is on their list.
The only way the “Toons” will be stopped is by a visit from the Grim Reaper. May it happen soon.
What difference - at this point, what difference does it make?
This is the tape from his first, unsuccessful attempt.
We don't know what they have from the one that worked.
Destroying records is a crime. So who’s going to jail?

This is essentially an update on him. It was his lawyers who were after that footage to show he was a "good guy" who tried to help out the first time Epstein tried to off himself, as a kind cellmate would. Others claimed Epstein said Tartaglione tried to off him, so the lawyers wanted the tape. Lo! and behold. Tape has taken a Rube Goldberg trek into nowhere.
There will be an incident in data storage - Jeffrey Sinclair.
Nope....The Feds used a wire connected to a light socket and applied power to fry the device.
There are no coincidences.

DOD #1: Is that it? Do we have all of it?
Calvin: There’s a backup system...

Waaay outside policy and procedure for corrections institutions. But frankly, not unexpected.

Did they accidently turn on a junkyard magnet next to the evidence storage?
LOL somehow this hard news got re-filed under “conspiracy”.
