EFTA00013180 is a press release draft on the death of Epstein but is dated as August 9th. Epstein died August 10th. Cannot be a typo as the draft also states Friday (August 10th 2019 was a Saturday)

If not for people meeting him on 9th (?), I could've thought they botched it all that bad they convinced everyone to wair another day to stage and clean up everything :D

But oh well, it's not impossible the first and rushed document of that day could've got the yesterday date initially, especially if they use a smart template or some plugin, external software to generate these with autofill of day of the week. That's how reports were generated at many places I worked for.

Like everything in this investigation, it got vacuumed with many initial drafts (and that's great), but I don't suspect it is a part of a conspiracy, but rather a sign of how incompetent and unprepared everyone was. I doubt that whatever clerk prepared these papers was in the circle of co-conspirators. That's more likely they've skipped their morning coffee to post it as early as possible, urged by their boss.

There is no date in the body of a document, only 'Earlier this morning', so the part they actually put up on the spot doesn't have any evidence towards or against suspicion, it's all in the header one rarely ever touches.

Yeah, unless it's impossible to choose yesterday's date in that software (which I doubt) then this is a load of nothing.
