We keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down, and who knows even his regime or the empire.

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)

To add to the first file there are several of these drafts. At least two on August 9th and several for August 10th. All with different redactions but the message stays the same:

Key difference which seems that the draft was indeed made before his actual death is the serial.
The 19-XXX place holder in the drafts with the 9th as date, show that the draft was prepared the day of the 9th, and then reprinted the day after now with the official release number.
Why does this appear so many times in the files? Why would a draft have even been printed (twice)? Why all the haphazard redactions of the FBI staff names?
@OP thanks and welcome. Can you link to the original file on the DOJ site instead of Reddit please?
Not op but here it is https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%208/EFTA00013180.pdf

Depending on how those documents are generated it can still be a typo. Eg if you are just selecting a date and the day of the week is filled in automatically.
This reminds me of this card https://lemmy.world/post/40605849

Warning, this is a several hour long rabbit hole (which has an important stop here: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/bill-barr-jeffrey-epstein-book/)
TLDR; The relationship between AG Bill Barr under Trump I and Epstein is significant, and this new file adds to the pile that Epstein's death was premeditated.

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.
There's a lot to look at in this post, and it is highly intriguing. But before I do then I'd there any way this can be forged, etc? I don't want to follow all these articles just to get to the end and find out it was just a day or date error...
If it was forged it was forged by someone with access to files before they were released. Could be the government, a spy, a hacker. Heck, since the president is an inside man, this whole collection could be done over in the same way they did Hunter Biden's laptop.
No, looks genuine, see other comments
