When Jeffrey Epstein’s New York City mansion was raided by authorities in 2019, investigators found boxes of hard drives and videos that were never entered into evidence by prosecutors.
Images from the raid show boxes of burned CDs, hard drives, and videos that were all individually labeled by Epstein.
However, authorities concealed the labels in all images, presumably to mask the identity of the people named in the labels.
As Slay News has previously reported, multiple victims and witnesses have alleged that Epstein gloated about having compromising videos and images of powerful people that he held against them.
This week, the first batch of documents are due to be made public that will name over 180 people linked to Epstein.
The first 150 names are due to be unsealed on January 3, with the rest of the names published later this month.
However, the release of the docs has raised more questions about other vital evidence that has not been disclosed.

VIDEO AT LINK....................
In December 2021, an FBI special agent testified to a New York court in Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex trafficking trial that evidence “went missing” from Epstein’s New York townhouse.
Special Agent Kelly Maguire recalled how CDs and other items were recovered by the FBI from a locked safe during an initial search of the Manhattan home on July 6 and July 7, 2019.
The raid was conducted shortly after Epstein’s arrest on sex assault charges.
The FBI agent said officers broke open the safe with a saw, finding the CDs, jewelry, computer hard drives, “loose diamonds”, passports, and “large amounts of US currency.”
They took photographs of the items, with images of the evidence being publicly available.
However, the hard drives, videos, and CDs never made it into evidence and mysteriously disappeared.
Agent Maguire, a member of an FBI Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force, said she could not confirm the content on the CDs but confirmed all the items were accounted for.
Boxes of CDs and hard drives were discovered in several rooms in Epstein’s eight-storey Upper East Side apartment in Manhattan, including in a so-called massage room.
Some, Agent McGuire testified, had “evidence tape” sealing them.
She told the court the tape had not been put there by police.
On the fifth floor, FBI agents also found a shelf full of large black binders.
The binders held CDs, carefully categorized in plastic slipcovers and thumbnails with photos on them.
Another FBI agent who took to the stand on the sixth day of Ms Maxwell’s sex-trafficking trial confirmed one CD contained a photograph of the British socialite and Epstein.
Federal prosecutors previously alluded to the contents of the safe in July 2019, when they sought to have a judge deny Epstein’s bail application later that month.
According to reports at the time, a trove of lewd photographs of children was found in the safe at the property.
Court papers said that alongside photos were compact discs with handwritten labels including: “‘Young [Name] + [Name],’ ‘Misc nudes 1,’ and ‘Girl pics nude.’”
There was also a passport from a foreign country with a picture of Epstein under another name.
The mansion had 40 rooms and Ms Maguire testified that it took about 12 hours for her team to fully search.
The only way those images and videos have "value" is if they are not released to the public.
I wonder how many FIB top brass are on those tapes?
Of course they didn’t. They weren’t prosecutors they were the democrats Consiglieres.
There job was never to prosecute.
This evidence needs to be coughed up and whomever hid it must be indicted for obstruction of justice, period. The abuse of these children is a mind-boggling felony and the perpetrators must be brought to justice.
Now those videos are in the possession of the FIB and are still being used for blackmail.
“However, the hard drives, videos, and CDs never made it into evidence and mysteriously disappeared.”
Just vanished into thin air as if by magic.
And if you believe that…

Allegedly, the original search warrant for Epstein’s NY home didn’t cover removing the CD’s, videos, etc.
They had to get a superceding warrant, came back and the stuff was gone.
I really don’t understand. If people in positions of high power are compromised by threat of exposure of illicit or illegal acts they have performed, then those people must be exposed, not protected. The truth of this must come out in order to begin to restore our trust.
As if that would stop them when they raided the homes of J6 “insurrectionidts.”
I wonder who “owns” them?
If they were seized during a search warrant but not used as evidence, I would think they would be returned to the “owner.”
But they will get “lost.”
You know these are getting watched at cop retirement parties all over NYC.
The FBI initially had fairly legitimate investigations into those who popped up politically to see if they were working with foreign agents (because we prop up folks in other countries ourselves). But this quickly turned into something more insidious when they decided to dig up dirt on folks so they could “own them” via blackmail.
Though the FBI reveals the extent of their surveillance in the course of doing so, the victim is afraid to turn them in so that their own debaucheries, if not crimes, aren’t revealed.
This “mutually assured destruction” is a standard totalitarian power arrangement seen through history - you ignore our crimes, we’ll ignore yours.
This is why they’re afraid of Trump - they have nothing on him.
We used to call actions like this “Committing Overt Acts” in furtherance of a Criminal Conspiracy.
It’s all about ‘POWER’. It is the ultimate aphrodisiac. It is the ultimate goal.
Get it.
Use it.
Maintain it.
By any means necessary.........................
Can you imagine finding all the Blackmail material used to control congress and thinking to yourself, "Hmm, what should I do with all this?"
Scurrilous types might think of something.
"Hey, nice new office building you got there."
Link doesn’t work.

They had to get a superceding warrant, came back and the stuff was gone.
That is not how the judicial system and warrants work.
If you find evidence of a crime or crimes during service of a legitimate warrant, you are supposed to secure the evidence.
J. Edgar taught his people well................
