Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

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

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.

The video rolls, almost uninterrupted, for the next 11 hours. At 6:30 a.m., corrections officers can be seen rushing across the frame. The Justice Department later disclosed that that's when Epstein's body was discovered.

Over the course of the night, the staff on duty failed to conduct the required 30-minute check-ins on Epstein while he spent the night alone in his cell.

How convenient! They missed 22 required check-ins on the night he was ~~murdered~~ died by suicide. Sure, sure, sure.

To be fair, they missed those check-ins the night before as well as the previous week. They had been sleeping on the job and lying about it, but no one checked the tapes until Epstein died.

I hate when I sleep edit footage. -s

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Why would the guard edit the footage? They were fired years ago and the edit was likely a few weeks back.
