Newly released Department of Justice documents show that investigators reviewing surveillance footage from the night of Jeffrey Epstein’s death observed an orange-colored shape moving up a staircase toward the isolated, locked tier where his cell was located at approximately 10:39 p.m. on Aug. 9, 2019.

That entry in an observation log of the video from the Metropolitan Correctional Center appears to suggest something previously unreported by authorities: “A flash of orange looks to be going up the L Tier stairs — could possibly be an inmate escorted up to that Tier.”

It also appears, according to an FBI memorandum, that reviews by investigators led to disparate conclusions by the FBI and those examining the same video from the Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General.

    It wasn’t known to the general public.

    … It was known to who the spies were leaking too.

    Who then also largely kept it a secret.

    This is a prime example of why I tried to list the sort of two… extreme edges of this ‘rule’.

    The entire Epstein thing is basically very similar to the Manhattan project inasmuch as… a pretty good deal of people knew something, a good deal of people knew a lot.

    But… most of those people were… pretty good at this compartmentalizion thing. Not to mention just actually members or clients of or directly connected to intelligence agencies.

    Untill enough of them fucked up, harder and harder, at keeping things a secret.

    I don’t see this as a kind of cut and dry fullproof rule.

    I see it as a reasonable first pass heuristic.
