There was no "missing minute" in the original Epstein jail video, government source says
www.cbsnews.com
FBI officials promised raw, unaltered video to quell speculation about Epstein's suicide.

The title is a bit clickbaity but that’s the only story on this I could find and according to the rules, post needs to match the article’s title. Anyways, they are claiming that the government is in possession of the full video with the minute intact, not that the footage posted wasn’t missing a minute

      Dead link? Not sure what you mean there. Here’s the important parts of the link I provided.

      On Friday, WIRED published an analysis of metadata embedded in the video, confirmed by independent video forensics experts, which indicates that the file was assembled from at least two source clips, saved multiple times, exported, and then uploaded to the DOJ’s website, where it was presented as “raw” footage.

      WIRED’s initial analysis found that those saves took place over a 23-minute span; however, further analysis of additional metadata shows the file was actually edited and saved several times over a period of more than three and a half hours on May 23, 2025. Specifically, the file was created at 4:48 pm and last modified at 8:16 pm ET that day. The metadata also references “MJCOLE~1,” which is likely a shortened version of a longer username. While it likely begins with “MJCOLE,” the full name cannot be determined from the metadata alone.

      Both analyses found that the two clips, labeled “2025-05-22 16-35-21.mp4” and “2025-05-22 21-12-48.mp4,” were stitched together. The first clip is 4 hours, 19 minutes, and 16 seconds long, but only the first 4 hours, 16 minutes, and 23.368 seconds appears in the published version, meaning nearly 2 minutes and 53 seconds were cut from the end. According to the metadata, the cut occurs just at 11:58:58 pm. The cut is milliseconds before the one-minute recording gap that Bondi said was caused by a quirk of the surveillance system. The second clip, “2025-05-22 21-12-48.mp4,” picks up immediately afterward, continuing the footage from 12:00:00 am until 6:40:00 am.

        Here’s the relevant part of the summary that they’re saying you didn’t read.

            No, this whole thread is about you jumping to conclusions and talking about the wrong video. Nobody here is supporting Pam Bondi or her claims/lies. We’re just questioning your reading comprehension skills.

            And you are trusting blindly.

            Stop trying to “win” for 8 seconds and read the damn sentence. Nobody is supporting Bondi. Nobody is trusting anything blindly. You’re railing against something that wasn’t even claimed by Bondi or anyone else.

              They are so completely incapable of admitting that they did not read the article or OP’s summary before posting.

      Oh I see. You’re accusing me of not reading it when I’m simply not convinced.

      Welp Pam bondi saying “there’s always a missing minute” doesn’t really factor when the video is spliced together and demonstrably so.

        They are accusing you of not reading the article OP posted, or even the two sentence summary OP included in their post body.

          Oh well I did. Sounds like you guys didn’t really apply any critical thinking to what you read though.

          Pam Bondi: “Trust me bro”

          Me: “Lmao no”

          You: “RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE”

            I have absolutely no clue how you have concluded from anything I’ve said in this thread (or anywhere, frankly) that I trust anything Bondi says.
