This recent analogy is completely unlike the scenario we are talking about.

You are talking about an independent bad actor who is making requests and attempting to do alibi construction via independent organizations that they are not a member of.

The scenario with the pre-dated Epstein letter is potentially an 'inside job' kind of scenario, where the bad actors would be members of the organization that would be facilitating the crime.

It would be more like a jewelry store owner hiring a stick up man to rob and then torch his place so the store owner can collect an insurance payout on his otherwise failing business.

And then the jewelry store owner has a drafted up version of the insurance claim paperwork that is dated to the day before the actual robbery and arson took place, because the stick up man he hired has to delay 24hrs at the last minute.

So then the robbery/arson occurs on the 10th, the store owner goes back to his insurance claim draft, moves the date forward a day, saves it as another file, then submits that to the insurance people.

... but, a subsequent law enforcement investigation into the entire thing finds that the jewelry store owner actually forgot to delete the old draft of the insurance claim, dated to the 9th, prior to the robbery and arson.

Writing the report in advance makes you look guilty even if it wasn’t murder

Correct.

The document with the August 9th date we are talking about was not actually released by the AG office.

It was discovered to exist during the subsequent FBI investigation into the entire event/affair.

As in, they had this drafted up, you know, oddly, suspiciously, but did not release it publically, because that would indeed have been odd, strange and potentially incriminating... but they also forgot to delete it.

Which, by your own logic, makes them look guilty.

Yep.

Uh huh.

That's... the entire point.

From the article:

The document released by the US Department of Justice in the latest set of the Epstein Files describes Epstein being found unresponsive in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Centre in Manhattan, where he was declared dead.

However it is dated Friday, August 9, 2019, while prison records and official document show it was not until August 10, 2019, that a corrections officer delivering breakfast found Epstein unresponsive in his cell.

Here is the document that actually was released to the public, dated August 10th:

And here is the seeming early draft of it, dated August 9th:

... these links are both in a high level comment that our own conversation descends from.

Please familiarize yourself with the actual details of the case, detective.
