Social media reacted with fury at the news that unknown officials were shredding “bales” of paper connected to Jeffrey Epstein in the prison housing convicted sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein soon after his death.Famed Epstein reporter Julie K. Brown reported that just six days after Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 death at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York, a Bureau of Prisons “After-Actions team” rounded up inmates to help shred “huge amounts of paperwork.”According to the Miami Herald all the officials from the FBI, BOP and OIG in the building participated in the removal.“They are shredding everything,” the inmate told one of the guards, adding that he was asked to give the officials, whom he did not recognize, a hand with the shredding. “Make sure you get that box too,” one of the men allegedly told him, according to the Herald, adding that the inmate wasn’t the only one to find it suspicious. “A corrections officer at the detention facility called the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center that same night, a Friday, at 6:28 p.m. to report that he had ‘never seen this amount of bags of shredded documents coming out to be put in the dumpster at the rear gate of MCC.’”“The Epstein cover up continues,” commented the X account for the Seneca Project, under Brown’s X post.“Bill freaking Barr. … These people are monsters. Corrupt, lying monsters,” posted another critic.“And who was President?” demanded another, pointing out that the shredding was underway during President Donald Trump’s first term.Another X critic raged that “These mother—— were covering up while the FBI was in the building,” while still another asked “Anybody surprised?”According to the Herald, a back gate corrections officer at the prison “was also troubled” by what he witnessed as the inmate brought down “bales” of shredded paper, according to a memo he wrote to investigators three days later, on Monday, Aug. 19.“I believe that this conduct may be inappropriate for [an] investigative team to be shredding paperwork related to the investigation and you may want to investigate why BOP employees are destroying records,” the correctional officer wrote on Aug. 19 around 11 a.m. “Can we take a look at the Dumpster ASAP to see if the paper is still there? Possible they didn’t dump it yet,” replied one of the federal agents whose name is redacted in the memo. But it was already too late, reported the Herald. The trash was picked up "that very morning."
