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.

    Step 1: Remove the photos from the publicly available collection.

    Step 2: Claim the photos must be deep fakes because they aren’t in the publicly available collection.

    Step 3: Prosecute anyone who shares or mentions the photos for defamation and sharing false images.

    It sounds ridiculous. But we’ve seen crazier shit in the last 11 months alone.

        For the sake of stemming the spread of misinformation from your notes, no, that picture of MJ, Bill Clinton, and Diana Ross was not taken from Getty images. Getty just also took a picture of them at the same time
