Images were also planted that were not part of the files.

Planted by whom? That were not part of the files? That seems dubious at best. What is your source? It doesn't even make sense.

There is a picture of Bill Clinton with Michael Jackson and Diana Ross that was just publicly available before: https://www.threads.com/@meidastouch/post/DSfEKJslM1H

It doesn't belong into the Epstein Files, and doesn't need to be censored either, but the way it is framed in the DoJ release implies guilt where there is none.

How can you be sure the image wasn't part of the files collected during investigation? What makes you so sure Epstein didn't have the file saved somewhere on a device, server, or account that was collected?

I don’t think I expressed a particular opinion here, I just stated where the suspicion comes from.

That being said, I think we can demand a level of due diligence from public institutions that entails only censoring actual victims on actual pieces of evidence, instead of mindlessly placing black squares on the faces of news article pictures found on his computer. Nevermind that nobody can explain yet how this particular picture ended up in the grand jury files anyway.

This is the same DOJ that released the edited Epstein jail video as "raw", with the attorney general claiming the missing minute was from how the video system reset for a new day, when they had the actual raw video with the missing minute.

Yes, though that was a different situation. If my wallet goes missing I'm not going to immediately blame a person while previously stole something with no other evidence.

Makes sense if you are a criminal.

Surely you can link me to the exact "planted" images you are talking about...

who planted them?

Here's at least one notable image.

That's not the exact same image, though. It's a separate image, from the same time and place. The one released may have been in Epstein's possession and therefore part of the files. Either some DoJ drone just redacted all children and non-celebrities due to procedure, or it was deliberately done in such a way as to make Clinton and Jackson look suspicious. Whatever the reason, this was not a Getty stock image planted in the files.

You can see the erroneously redacted image here: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8r38ne1x2mo

It wasn’t erroneous. The DoJ said they were redacting the faces of all non-celebrity women and children under the presumption they could be victims.
