A CBS News investigation found discrepancies between the government's description of the Jeffrey Epstein jail video and what the video shows.

It’s worth watching the full video here.

On top of the missing minute, there’s the following discrepancies (and many more that I don’t remember off hand)

  • The camera footage is at an angle where you can’t see one of the staircases to Epstein’s cell. Someone could easily avoid that camera.
  • There’s a 3rd person that comes in at 12:05 that’s not identified in the report
  • The aspect ratio changes halfway through, suggesting a bad splicing
  • You can see a mouse cursor at one point

And from pelespirit

To add on to OP’s discrepancy bullet list, the aspect ratio changed after the missing minute and the meta data says “saved” a few times. Meaning, it isn’t raw data, there’s no way.

    Or trump and musk managed to steal the election

    This is pretty credible and your evidence against it is weak, given that it would do them both harm by trying to use it against the other

      I would love to see the evidence you have supporting this (we can skip over how trump, musk, and big balls himself haven’t blabbed) and I desperately hope you aren’t someone else who is going to link to a god damned Chris Titus podcast.

      Because all the analysis on demographics and survey results very much paint the picture of a hateful and racist plurality coming up against apathy and stupidity.

        search for “this will hold” and see if anything moves you there.

        The intersting thing to me is the discrepancy in the split between president & downballot voting between mail in and polling-station votes. It’s very different.

        the other thing is winning every swing state and 88 counties (88, get it) while Dems flipped none. And the claim everything is “just under” the mandatory recount levels.

        Yeah could just be we suck but it’s possible we’re also stupid.

          First result for “This will hold” is a blog with the tagline “The truth they’re not telling you”. So… could you point me to actual data rather than making me read through the raving of a lunatic? I mean, this is clearly a big deal so there must be something solid, right?

          the discrepancy in the split between president & downballot voting between mail in and polling-station votes.

          • AOC actually did a lot of outreach to her constituents after realizing that a significant chunk of them voted for her AND trump. The gist of it is that it was the same populist movement that trump rode in 2016 combined with “something needs to change”. People are a lot less political than we think and they want to vote for outsiders who will drain the swamp. Which is something that a lot of analysts (and people who listen to them) have known since even before 2012 but that was made very very clear on both the left and the right. In a lot of ways, AOC was elected in the first place because of this.
          • Absentee ballots have generally always favored Democrats (https://electionlab.mit.edu/sites/default/files/2021-03/HowWeVotedIn2020-March2021.pdf is a good summary from 2021). In large part because it favors young professionals who don’t see a reason to wait for election day (more educated. More likely to actually be aware of politics) as well as, people living overseas (who tend to also be more educated), and, funny enough, military people who actually care and have been exposed to other cultures and peoples. This is why trump et al are so against them. And it is why there is generally a blue wave at the start of election night and things then tighten up

          the other thing is winning every swing state

          Again, actually look at analysis of the demographics. https://catalist.us/whathappened2024/ is a good breakdown but it mostly can be summarized as “men are monsters. whites and hispanics continue to be religious”

          As for the rest: I am not even going to pretend “the nazi number came up so it must be rigged” is worth responding to.

            Hahah - probably not, but I wouldn’t convince you of anything anyway. Everyone wants the final tally/result I-can-read edition, I know. That usually takes awhile (like in the JFK assassination for ex . oh wait, no bad example. Anyway)

            Hm - I’d like to see that, do you remember where you saw it? The person who voted for AOC and Trump is a seriously confused or stupid individual but that’s not saying much I know.

            Comments aren’t a good forum for the topic, it really needs a community channel but; it is what it is.

              No. If you actually presented data I could read and try to understand that. Rather than just “listen to this blogger I like and vibe your way to The Truth for only 15 dollars a month”

              And a quick google (well, actually kagi) of “AOC supporters voted trump” brings up https://www.newsweek.com/aoc-supporters-donald-trump-split-ticket-reasons-establishment-1983849.

              The person who voted for AOC and Trump is a seriously confused or stupid individual

              I mean… it is a recurring problem when people refuse to consider facts or evidence and just run on vibes and whoever says what they want to hear.

                The New York Democrat asked her followers on Instagram to explain why they voted the way they did, specifically asking those who backed Trump for the presidential election but voted Democrat for down-ballot races why they split their ticket.

                Ookay, I mean I wouldn’t call an Instagram post “a lot of outreach” and the data set limitations are obvious but whatever.

                “I voted Trump, but I like you and Bernie. I don’t trust either party’s establishment politicians,” one reply said.

                Social media replies = discrepancies totally explained? No. Interesting, but no.

                And New York wasn’t a swing state, so kind of a moot point overall on the question of swing state voters.
