At least 16 files disappeared from the Justice Department’s public webpage for documents related to Jeffrey Epstein — including a photograph showing Donald Trump — less than a day after they were posted, with no explanation from the government and no notice to the public.

The missing files, which were available Friday and no longer accessible by Saturday, included images of paintings depicting nude women, and one showing a series of photographs along a credenza and in drawers. In that image, inside a drawer among other photos, was a photograph of Trump, alongside Epstein, Melania Trump and Epstein’s longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell.

This is how innocent people act right?

Considering how the perpetrators were communicating, I'm not quite sure anymore

Guess those FBI agents they had working overtime for the past few weeks just missed some. It would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic and corrupt.

Ok so we know 16 documents are missing. Where can we get those? No one made backup?

The web.archive.org doesn't have that page at all.

One of them was posted itt (after your comment). Not sure about the rest, but I am confident many of us will be seeing them soon. A lot of people were waiting for these to drop. There are copies and the Streisand effect will make sure they get around.

Alternatively, someone let things through on purpose.

Yeah, it's crazy that the head of the most infamous pedophile ring on the planet has a picture with Epstein.

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Fair point. Yuck.

If he was on the island, I'm sure he was fucking

Glad I pulled them down already

Most likely these files are now finally totally gone. Only hope is that Putin has his copy of the trump stuff in good place.
