I'm just going to say that for my part, I've long entertained the conspiracy theory that Epstein was 'allowed' to off himself, but that's as far down that sort of road as I've felt was well-warranted. To murder a guy in Federal Prison would require a pretty elaborate scheme, and fair number of people, none of whom have ever come forward in the interim, even though it would make them instantly famous. I mean, not the murderer, of course, but anyone else that knew about it w/o being directly involved. Witnesses, if you will. Or schemers who did not know what they were actually involved in until after the fact. Not saying it DIDN'T, mind you, I've just not determined it to be the more likely scenario

I've also considered the possibility that Epstein became aware, due to the presence of a technician near his cell working on the camera system, that the cameras had problems, and took advantage of what looked to him like an opportunity to do what he already wanted to do.

The more recently released video doctoring, though, gotta admit that news has definitely renewed my curiosity on the subject. But since it's coming from THIS DoJ, I wouldn't put it past this administration to purposefully create any storyline at this point that will distract from Trumps known relationship with Epstein, and occupy the MSM and conspiracy theorists with some shiny new object to talk about. But yeah, that shit is sketchy AF, no argument from me on that one

Edit: so I dug into this video a bit, and discovered a few points of interest:
1) The missing time is immediately prior to midnight, BUT
2) The ME report estimated Epstein's time of death to have been 4:30am, based on the forensic markers. Ergo, descriptions of this missing time as being 'Epstein's Final Moments' are hyperbole. They are actually almost surely NOT those.
3) The sorts of edits found by metadata analysis *can* (but not at all necessarily) be benign and not indicative of intentional meddling with the contents.
4) However, the labeling by the DoJ calling what they released 'raw footage' is clearly a misrepresentation. Truly raw footage would not show this funky metadata.

Now, as to this part "which sounds like itd be more consistent with a murder.", out of curiosity, where does your expertise come from on that subject? The CME of NYC stated that these multiple bone breaks are common in hangings with older victims because bones become more brittle with age. You have some knowledge to the contrary?
