MS NOW’s Ari Melber Raises New Questions About Epstein’s Death in Splashy Deep Dive

EXCERPT:

MELBER: “Inmates wear orange, not officers. The FBI stating a quote “flash of orange looks to be going up the stairs. Could possibly be an inmate escorted up to Epstein’s tier.” Now, the FBI’s own video review detected that prison orange uniform of a possible inmate. That’s big. This review had the evidence– orange that could be an inmate, but we are now learning it was cut, hidden, or accidentally left out of the DOJ report. The new files reveal this never before seen set of details about Epstein’s area on the night of his death, and we can show you the locked tier around Epstein’s cell. 10:39 P.M that night, a blurry orange figure appears. The original FBI log calls it that ‘flash of orange could possibly be an inmate.’ And note that careful description, because then the DOJ review of the same footage changes it to write, quote, “Inmates are currently on lockdown. It’s possible someone is carrying inmate linen up the stairs.” Now that’s a huge difference. It replaces observation– orange– with conjecture. Inmates are on lockdown, so they shouldn’t be around. But the rule that inmates are supposed to be on lockdown doesn’t resolve whether one wasn’t, just like Epstein was supposed to get those 30 minute checks, but didn’t. […] The fact is, the DOJ’s own watchdog report minimized the FBI evidence. That is just a fact.”
