Screenshot from the DOJ website. File 468 is missing. I downloaded it yesterday.

I extracted EFTA00000468.pdf to png. Lossless conversion I think.
It’s also the one with the Pope (John Paul II). The Vatican also applied some pressure most likely. But these pictures are already available online before the files even were released yesterday. Don’t know how effective this will be.
Update:
This seems to be the new photo of Trump that is the reason for removal:
The pope photo is old.

So is the Trump photo, so I wonder what’s the point of removing this. These photos have been public knowledge for a long time.
The drawer has 2 Trump photos. One shows Trump with Ghislaine. I think that one is old. The second photo shows Trump with girls in bikinis.
This one?
Okay yeah I haven’t seen that one before, that makes sense why it’s removed them. Very sloppy cover up.
Thanks for pointing that out. I missed it.
EFTA00001346.pdf
This file shows the pope photo and a different Trump photo. It has not been deleted.
When I extracted it it was only 492 kB, so I’m not sure why this image ended up being 854 kB. They’re the same image, ultimately: when I used ImageMagick’s
comparetool it showed them as being pixel-identical, and they optimized down to bit-identical files after running them through Efficient Compression Tool with the flags-9 -strip.What method did you use, out of curiosity? I used
mutool extracton the PDF, which spit out the single PNG.I used the pdfimages command in poppler-utils.
I did some digging and it looks like lossless images aren’t really stored as PNGs, per se:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF#Raster_images
FlateDecode, a commonly used filter based on the deflate algorithm defined in RFC 1951 (deflate is also used in the gzip, PNG, and zip file formats among others); introduced in PDF 1.2; it can use one of two groups of predictor functions for more compact zlib/deflate compression: Predictor 2 from the TIFF 6.0 specification and predictors (filters) from the PNG specification (RFC 2083),
pdfimageshints at this when all the other images output options say things like “write JPEG images as JPEG files” but then the PNG output option says “change the default output format to PNG” (if you don’t supply any arguments it spits out raw PPM files).In fact, if you look at the size of the original PDF, it’s 385 kB—more in line with the optimized filesize I ended up with. My guess is that
mutool extractsimply makes a bit more of an effort to recompress the image thanpdf2images, but in both cases they’re falling short of the original compression (at least for this PDF).(completely unrelated, but I found it funny that the PDF uses the woke sans-serif font Helvetica)
*Permanently Deleted*
House oversight is just going twitter clapbacks now
Here is a list of a few more files that have been deleted from the file dump. Some of the files that were deleted are nude paintings.

At least 16 files have disappeared from the DOJ webpage for documents related to Jeffrey Epstein
deleted by creator
@MarmiteLover123@hexbear.net US DOJ confirmed that they pulled the imaged from the website because of the drawer photo with the girls in bikinis.
I think this confirms that DOJ is protecting Trump from prosecution.

Damn it really was this
