If it is within the scope of the site, I’d be interested in a list of documents that the DOJ posted only to later remove (excluding posts with victim identities). I want to better understand why the DOJ removed documents and who might have influenced this decision making.
As an example, there were wire transfer sheets that included transactions with David Ellison (head of Paramount/CBS/Skydance, son of Larry Ellison) and they have all been removed from the DOJ site.
Agreed that we should track those. I’d also like to be able to upload and have them analysed by the algorithm but flagged separately so we can both see the related people/topics/connections.
Excellent idea.
Great idea. The David Ellison example is a perfect case study – EFTA01299522 is still accessible through the Wayback Machine even though it was pulled from the DOJ site.
I’m tracking this as a feature request. The plan would be a “removed from DOJ” flag on document pages with an automatic Wayback Machine fallback link. That way when originals go dead, researchers still have access.
If anyone spots other documents that have been pulled, drop the EFTA IDs in this thread and I’ll start building the list. Seems like there’s a pattern worth tracking.
These two: EFTA00419984, EFTA02173424
When the media claimed for the very first time that doj took down a dozen images after the first dataset came out, i couldnt find any official source reporting on which file numbers were deleted in particular. So i did search for them myself, since i downloaded the first batch before the delete happend. After going through the whole doj website and single-handedly noting down which numerical order was skipping a file, i noticed the following images were gone:
EFTA00000229, original image VS. doj reupload
EFTA00000384, original image VS. doj reupload
EFTA00000468, original image VS. doj reupload
EFTA00000656, original image VS. doj reupload
EFTA00000657, original image VS. doj reupload
EFTA000001051, original image VS. doj reupload
EFTA000001052, original image VS. doj reupload
EFTA000001053, original image VS. doj reupload
EFTA000001055, original image VS. doj reupload
EFTA000001056, original image VS. doj reupload
EFTA000001124, original image VS. doj reupload
EFTA000001214, original image VS. doj reupload
EFTA000001423, original image VS. doj reupload
EFTA000001424, original image VS. doj reupload
EFTA000001931, original i do not link, contains possible victim name on the letter VS. doj reupload
side note: The imgur sources are mine. i uploaded the original files as is to imgur at that time. It was supposed to be a summary, incase more people wanted to have a look at what doj took down.
At that time, i wasnt aware that art/paintings may be considered redactable. (If OP wants, i can edit my post to exclude the art’s original link. i just thought it might help the overview).
I have researched everything by myself and didnt edit any uploads.
English is not my mothertonge. If anything is misspelled or wrong-worded, im sorry, im trying.
Here are EFTAs taken down that I saved. I haven’t checked for about 2 weeks, but as of 2 weeks ago they were down. Wire sheets with David Ellison present:
FBI daily News briefings with Skydance (David Ellison’s company)
Lawrence Investments in contacts (Family Fund for Ellison Family) - was removed and then put back up.
CATALOGUE DOCUMENTS - perhaps these will be useful in determining which items were posted initially and which were left out. But additional work would be required. There may be overlap between these
-EFTA01446255
-EFTA01479786
MEDICAL DOCS: I was looking through his medical docs, I think some had been removed then put back up. These were related to a search for subclavian vessels as well as blood tests, so searches for WBCs, etc…. As an aside, maybe it would be interesting to start a medical thread of sorts.
