2nd theory is that CIA was concerned it would reveal sources and methods. That is certainly possible. One can always conveniently blame the CIA boogie man.
3rd theory — Occam’s razor. It is what Pam Bondi said the other day. She had a bunch of stuff on her desk but had not gone through it. Earlier she had exaggerated about what might be there. She later went through it and found that Biden admin likely destroyed lots of evidence.
What do people expect — to see a “Epstein client child trafficking list”? This involved famous global celebrities. Epstein, Maxwell and Biden admin had plenty of time to get rid of evidence.
What we expected (based on Bondi’s statements) was video/picture/file proof of male clients of Epstein engaging in lewd acts with Epstein’s girls.
"Tampered with" is a better descriptor IMO. I believe that if they went in and deleted items that they probably also added some "desirable" information making the information completely unreliable. This puts Bondi in a bind. If she releases it, unreliable information goes out. If she speaks the truth about it, few will believe her and she and the Trump Administration get hammered in the PR arena with the implication that they are protecting their own.

Yup, this.
