The Epstein files keep giving up important information. The Miami Herald discovered that less than a week after disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in a New York jail, the Justice Department under the first Trump administration shredded “huge amounts of paperwork.”

Via the Daily Beast, a Bureau of Prisons “After-Actions team” went through the jail and shredded the files, according to a report drafted by an FBI official whose name has been redacted.

“[Redacted] has never seen this amount of bags of shredded documents coming out to be put in the dumpster at the rear gate of the MCC,” the file said.

​​“[Redacted] was bringing back bags of shredded papers, around 4 or 5 bags, and caller brought them into the gate to throw into the dumpster. [Redacted] told caller that the after-action team is shredding huge amounts of paperwork,” the report reads.

“Caller found it suspicious that an after-action team charged with investigating would be shredding huge amounts of paperwork with all of the officials from the AIG, FBI and BO[P] in the building in the middle of an investigation. Those giving instructions to [redacted] said, ‘Make sure you get that box too,’” the document said, referring to the assistant inspector general.

Oh, and the NYPost has a video of prison guards skipping Epstein checks the night he died.

At some point talking about the files becomes irrelevant

Consider the news that documents were shredded by investigators after Epstein died in prison

And the Mar-a-Lago documents have not been preserved
Or have they?

Forget the files, we require interrogations under oath of witnesses and suspects
