DOJ Gives Shameless Reason for Hiding Photo of US Commerce Sec. Lutnick and Epstein- Accidentally tagged for nudity (www.thedailybeast.com)

The picture was located by “jmail,” a site run by two tech workers who have created a searchable version of Epstein’s Gmail inbox by downloading all of the latest releases.

The DOJ’s explanation for its removal was particularly shameless, given that more than 100 explicit photos of Epstein’s victims were accidentally uploaded to the portal before being removed and redacted.

The photo, which was found in a downloaded cache of Epstein files but was later removed from the DOJ’s dedicated site, appears to show Epstein and Lutnick walking on Little St. James, the Caribbean island where many of Epstein’s crimes took place.

It also shows three other unidentified men, all wearing baggy shorts and T-shirts or button-down shirts, while Epstein is dressed in a white T-shirt and pants.

In a statement to the Daily Beast, a DOJ official said the image was “part of a batch of files that had been flagged for nudity.”

And the media lets them do it. We've seen it hundreds if not thousands of times where the government's explanation defies common sense & logic, but the media falls into line. Just look at how they all fell for the WMD lies, and then said Dick Cheney was a leader & American hero when he died.
