Latest / The Epstein Chronicles / Mega Edition: Jeffrey Epstein And The Prosecutors Who Could Have Stopped Him (10/11/26)
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
- 0:06Speaker 1: When I talk about these law enforcement agencies and the
- 0:09Speaker 1: fact that they knew what Jeffrey Epstein was and what
- 0:11Speaker 1: he was doing, it's because there is a ton of
- 0:14Speaker 1: evidence that points us in that direction. There is article
- 0:19Speaker 1: after article, court document after court document that states that
- 0:23Speaker 1: everybody was aware of what was going on. And while
- 0:28Speaker 1: people in society can get away with the whole, oh,
- 0:31Speaker 1: I had no idea, If you worked for the DA's
- 0:35Speaker 1: office or the prosecutor's office for the state of New
- 0:38Speaker 1: York and you let this go on for all of
- 0:40Speaker 1: these years, what does that say about you? And especially
- 0:44Speaker 1: considering if we look at the overall scope of what
- 0:48Speaker 1: was going on as far as predators right under their noses,
- 0:52Speaker 1: you had Weinstein, you had Jeffrey Epstein, so many different
- 0:55Speaker 1: people that were able to just operate for years. And
- 0:59Speaker 1: the DA's office, Cy Vance and his friends, act like
- 1:03Speaker 1: they had no idea. It defies logic. It defies reason.
- 1:08Speaker 1: And frankly, I just don't believe it. If we didn't
- 1:13Speaker 1: have all of the evidence to the contrary, I'd be
- 1:15Speaker 1: more inclined to listen to what these folks had to say.
- 1:18Speaker 1: But we know that all of this evidence has been provided.
- 1:22Speaker 1: We have court document. I mean, we have ream after
- 1:25Speaker 1: ream of evidence in this case. And when you go
- 1:29Speaker 1: through it all and you put it all together, the
- 1:32Speaker 1: picture that it paints is not one that is very
- 1:35Speaker 1: impressive from the point of law enforcement. There's no other
- 1:39Speaker 1: way to say it. There's no way to sugarcoat that.
- 1:42Speaker 1: And frankly, folks, none of these people are above reproach.
- 1:46Speaker 1: If you are hired or you are elected to do
- 1:49Speaker 1: a job and you do not do that job, you
- 1:53Speaker 1: are a failure. There's no, oh, this one was in
- 1:56Speaker 1: my way or that one was in my way. You
- 1:59Speaker 1: have been elected. You have been put in a position
- 2:01Speaker 1: because people believe that you can help, that you can
- 2:04Speaker 1: change things. And if you don't do that, you're a failure.
- 2:09Speaker 1: And the prosecutors in all of these districts where Jeffrey
- 2:12Speaker 1: Epstein was active for all of these years, I'll just
- 2:15Speaker 1: come out and say it since nobody else wants to.
- 2:18Speaker 1: They all failed. They all failed these survivors. They failed
- 2:22Speaker 1: their communities. And they failed the nation overall. You don't
- 2:27Speaker 1: think this is a big black eye for the whole
- 2:29Speaker 1: country when you have all of these so-called elite involved
- 2:33Speaker 1: in something like this? But we all know that the
- 2:38Speaker 1: best way to get to the bottom of something, the
- 2:42Speaker 1: best way to disinfect something is to shine a whole
- 2:47Speaker 1: bunch of sunshine on it. And that's what we're going
- 2:50Speaker 1: to keep doing. We're going to keep talking about all
- 2:52Speaker 1: of these people that sugarcoated what happened. We're going to
- 2:55Speaker 1: keep talking about all of these people who pulled the
- 2:58Speaker 1: curtains down. And we're going to keep challenging these false
- 3:01Speaker 1: narratives that keep popping up. Today we have an article
- 3:06Speaker 1: from the New York Post. This article was originally published
- 3:10Speaker 1: on April 11th of 2019. The authors of this article
- 3:16Speaker 1: are Susan Edelman and Rebecca Rosenberg. The Manhattan DA's office
- 3:23Speaker 1: had graphic and detailed evidence of pedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein's
- 3:28Speaker 1: depravity when a prosecutor inexplicably argued for leniency during his
- 3:34Speaker 1: 2011 sex offender registry hearing, The Post has Learned. Now,
- 3:38Speaker 1: they said in the aftermath of this that it was
- 3:40Speaker 1: a mistake by their prosecutor to make this argument, which
- 3:44Speaker 1: I find to be absolutely ridiculous. You mean to tell
- 3:48Speaker 1: me that your prosecutor had no idea what they were doing?
- 3:51Speaker 1: And furthermore, if that's the case, why wasn't this handled
- 3:55Speaker 1: by a more senior prosecutor? Isn't this a serious matter,
- 4:00Speaker 1: a very important matter that should have been handled by
- 4:03Speaker 1: Cy Vance himself? But we never saw that. We never
- 4:06Speaker 1: saw them take the time to really dig in here
- 4:10Speaker 1: and ask yourself why that is. Well, when you're talking
- 4:13Speaker 1: about somebody who's rubbing shoulders with the so-called elite, breaking
- 4:17Speaker 1: bread with all of Cy Vance's donors and shit, you
- 4:21Speaker 1: tell me how there's not going to be a pressure
- 4:23Speaker 1: campaign to keep Epstein out of trouble. And then the
- 4:27Speaker 1: audacity to get up there and argue that this isn't
- 4:30Speaker 1: a violent, disgusting offender, a level three offender, and try
- 4:34Speaker 1: and argue that he's a level one offender is just
- 4:36Speaker 1: beyond the pale for me. And there's no amount of
- 4:39Speaker 1: apologizing or coming in to clean up the spilled milk
- 4:43Speaker 1: that's going to fix it. The damage has already been done.
- 4:47Speaker 1: And the sad part is there has been no repercussions
- 4:50Speaker 1: for anybody who has been involved in this. In advance
- 4:56Speaker 1: of the hearing, then deputy chief of sex crimes, Jennifer Gaffney,
- 5:00Speaker 1: had been given a confidential state assessment that deemed Epstein
- 5:04Speaker 1: to be highly dangerous and highly likely to keep preying
- 5:07Speaker 1: on young girls. The DA's office admitted in its own
- 5:11Speaker 1: appellate brief eight months after the hearing. So you have
- 5:15Speaker 1: access to all of these files. You have access to
- 5:18Speaker 1: all of this information. I don't want to hear, oh,
- 5:20Speaker 1: I made a mistake. You're not the sales lady at
- 5:24Speaker 1: Nordstrom who gave me the wrong, you know, size pair
- 5:28Speaker 1: of pants. You are a prosecutor prosecuting crimes against children.
- 5:33Speaker 1: You can't be wrong. And if you are wrong, you
- 5:37Speaker 1: need to rectify it ASAP or own up to it.
- 5:40Speaker 1: But that's the biggest problem I have here, folks, right?
- 5:42Speaker 1: These people never own up to it. If they make
- 5:45Speaker 1: a mistake, they do something untowards. It gets swept under
- 5:48Speaker 1: the rug and it gets buried in investigations. So how
- 5:52Speaker 1: are we ever going to fix anything? How are we
- 5:55Speaker 1: ever supposed to hold these people to the level that
- 5:58Speaker 1: we should hold them if their superiors are always protecting
- 6:01Speaker 1: them and sweeping this shit under the rug? The brief
- 6:07Speaker 1: has been sealed since 2011, but the Post obtained it
- 6:10Speaker 1: Thursday after suing to get it unsealed. So the New
- 6:14Speaker 1: York Post has done a really good job as far
- 6:16Speaker 1: as covering this stuff. And they're one of the few
- 6:19Speaker 1: publications that have been on this for quite some time. Now,
- 6:24Speaker 1: I've been very critical of the New York Times, of
- 6:26Speaker 1: the Washington Post, and I'll remain critical of those outlets.
- 6:31Speaker 1: I feel like they've lost their way and they're more
- 6:34Speaker 1: in the business of dividing than they are in the
- 6:37Speaker 1: business of educating at this point, or at least opening
- 6:39Speaker 1: the door for you to walk through to educate yourself,
- 6:43Speaker 1: because really that's what it should be, right? You hear
- 6:46Speaker 1: about these news stories that the news is telling you about,
- 6:49Speaker 1: all the different things happening around the world. You get
- 6:52Speaker 1: interested in it. Now you have the ability to research
- 6:55Speaker 1: this stuff yourself. Take a look at a bunch of
- 6:57Speaker 1: different outlets. And that's what the media should be. But instead,
- 7:01Speaker 1: what they try and do is they try and educate you.
- 7:05Speaker 1: And I'm using air quotes here. Basically, they try and
- 7:08Speaker 1: indoctrinate you. Right. If you don't believe this way, well,
- 7:11Speaker 1: you're not you're against democracy. Or if you believe this way,
- 7:14Speaker 1: then you're a communist or whatever they might try and do.
- 7:18Speaker 1: The reality is this. They shouldn't be doing it. Their
- 7:21Speaker 1: job is to tell you the news, not to tell
- 7:23Speaker 1: you how to think. It describes the state's assessment finding
- 7:30Speaker 1: that Epstein should be monitored in New York as a
- 7:33Speaker 1: level three offender reserved for the most dangerous. That is
- 7:37Speaker 1: exactly what he was. The most dangerous of sex offenders.
- 7:41Speaker 1: Because remember, his proclivities never stopped. This guy, what do
- 7:45Speaker 1: you think? He just woke up one morning and said,
- 7:47Speaker 1: that's it. I don't want underage girls anymore. When you're
- 7:50Speaker 1: sick like this, you're wired wrong. And Jeffrey Epstein is
- 7:55Speaker 1: the epitome of all of it. In making its assessment,
- 8:00Speaker 1: the New York State Board of Examiners of Sex Offenders
- 8:03Speaker 1: evaluated the sworn corroborated accounts of numerous young girls who
- 8:08Speaker 1: had been lured into Epstein's Palm Beach, Florida compound in
- 8:12Speaker 1: 2005 and 2006. It's disgusting that they would even have
- 8:16Speaker 1: to go to Florida to look at this. Why didn't
- 8:18Speaker 1: you have your own case going on in New York City?
- 8:21Speaker 1: We know that he was using fertile hunting grounds, right,
- 8:23Speaker 1: to look for nubiles. Their words, not mine. So why
- 8:28Speaker 1: are you going down to Florida when your own backyard
- 8:32Speaker 1: is covered in manure? Girls aged 14 to 17 were
- 8:40Speaker 1: also recruited and paid $ 200 to $ 1, 000 to give Epstein
- 8:44Speaker 1: erotic massages that included sexual contact, intercourse, and rape, Palm
- 8:49Speaker 1: Beach cops found. Epstein pleaded guilty in Palm Beach to
- 8:52Speaker 1: abusing just one of these young victims, and was required
- 8:56Speaker 1: to register as a sex offender in New York since
- 8:59Speaker 1: he had an Upper East Side home. But when you
- 9:02Speaker 1: know people, and then you have people like Cy Vance
- 9:05Speaker 1: running the DA's office in New York, you're going to
- 9:09Speaker 1: get treated differently. And that's just how it is. Manhattan
- 9:15Speaker 1: prosecutors were aware the state board had assigned Epstein a
- 9:19Speaker 1: risk assessment of 130, a number that is solidly above
- 9:23Speaker 1: the 110 qualifying number for level three, with absolutely no
- 9:27Speaker 1: basis for downward departure. The brief notes, nevertheless, Gaffney argued,
- 9:34Speaker 1: that he should be labeled a level one offender, the
- 9:37Speaker 1: least restrictive, which would have kept him off the online database.
- 9:40Speaker 1: You mean to tell me that Jeffrey Epstein shouldn't be
- 9:44Speaker 1: on the online database? You know when you go on
- 9:46Speaker 1: there and you search for diddlers? You mean to tell
- 9:49Speaker 1: me Epstein shouldn't be in that database? If you look
- 9:53Speaker 1: at diddler in the dictionary, there's a picture of Jeffrey Epstein.
- 9:57Speaker 1: So yeah, he should be in the database, Ms. Gaffney.
- 10:03Speaker 1: Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Ruth Pickholtz sided with the board
- 10:07Speaker 1: and against Gaffney in designating Epstein a level three offender.
- 10:12Speaker 1: Epstein appealed and the DA's change of heart brief agreeing
- 10:16Speaker 1: that Epstein deserved the highest level of monitoring was filed
- 10:19Speaker 1: in opposition to that appeal. So if it wasn't for
- 10:23Speaker 1: this judge, Judge Ruth Pickles, Epstein would have been a
- 10:28Speaker 1: level one offender in New York City. Think about that
- 10:30Speaker 1: for a minute. And then you tell me that I'm
- 10:32Speaker 1: off base here. The appellate division ultimately upheld that Epstein
- 10:40Speaker 1: be monitored as a level three offender and he remains
- 10:43Speaker 1: on the registry. But he never checked in. He never
- 10:46Speaker 1: had to check in. He never did anything that he
- 10:49Speaker 1: was supposed to do. None of those stipulations were met.
- 10:53Speaker 1: Our prosecutor made a mistake. Danny Frost, a spokesman for D.A.
- 10:57Speaker 1: Cyrus Vance Jr., told the Post in December when news
- 11:00Speaker 1: broke that Epstein's sweetheart Palm Beach deal had buried evidence
- 11:04Speaker 1: he had allegedly abused some 80 girls and young women.
- 11:08Speaker 1: Reached late Thursday, Frost declined to say who above Gaffney
- 11:12Speaker 1: might have approved her decision to go easy on Epstein.
- 11:15Speaker 1: Vance's office has insisted that he was unaware of the
- 11:18Speaker 1: sex offender registry hearing at the time. Nobody knew, okay?
- 11:22Speaker 1: The office didn't know. The boss didn't know. And just
- 11:25Speaker 1: like Acosta, Gaffney was out here acting rogue. She went
- 11:28Speaker 1: off on her own and decided to do this. Does
- 11:32Speaker 1: anyone really believe that? Gaffney could not immediately be reached
- 11:37Speaker 1: for comment. Yeah, I don't doubt it. Probably not a
- 11:40Speaker 1: good look for Ms. Gaffney here. But once again, folks,
- 11:44Speaker 1: it goes to show you the way that this was
- 11:46Speaker 1: handled was straight up garbage. And all of these prosecutors
- 11:50Speaker 1: who want to get on Twitter and in different places
- 11:52Speaker 1: and talk about how great their offices were and how
- 11:55Speaker 1: much of a great job they did. Well, if you
- 11:57Speaker 1: were in any of these districts while Jeffrey Epstein was
- 12:00Speaker 1: active and your office is arguing for him to be
- 12:04Speaker 1: a level one offender and not level three, you, my friend,
- 12:08Speaker 1: and your compatriots have all failed. And when we're talking
- 12:12Speaker 1: about Cy Vance and we're talking about the pursuit of
- 12:16Speaker 1: disgusting sexual crimes, In my opinion, they failed miserably. All right, folks,
- 12:25Speaker 1: that's going to do it for this episode. If you

- 12:46Speaker 1: that I discussed can be found in the description box.
- 12:51Speaker 1: What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the
- 12:54Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. Whenever you hear people try and dismiss what
- 13:00Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein was up to, one of the first things
- 13:02Speaker 1: people point to is the fact that Jeffrey Epstein wasn't
- 13:06Speaker 1: charged the first time around with trafficking or anything in
- 13:10Speaker 1: the realm that resembles trafficking. So of course people say, Well,
- 13:15Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein wasn't charged with trafficking. He wasn't convicted of trafficking.
- 13:19Speaker 1: So how could he be a human trafficker? Well, one
- 13:22Speaker 1: of the main reasons that that didn't occur is because
- 13:25Speaker 1: it was by design. The state went after their own witnesses.
- 13:32Speaker 1: They destroyed their own witnesses' credibility on behalf of Jeffrey Epstein,
- 13:36Speaker 1: Barry Krischer, and the rest of them. That's what happened.
- 13:41Speaker 1: You really think that a jury would have given a
- 13:43Speaker 1: shit if a kid had a MySpace page talking about
- 13:46Speaker 1: drinking and smoking some pot? If they were molested by
- 13:49Speaker 1: Jeffrey fucking Epstein? This is the kind of bullshit we've
- 13:55Speaker 1: been dealing with since the very beginning of this. Oh, well,
- 13:58Speaker 1: these kids are incredible. They smoked some pot, they drank
- 14:01Speaker 1: some beers, they talked about sex. Do you forget being
- 14:04Speaker 1: a teenager? I did all of that. And I'm sure
- 14:08Speaker 1: most of you did too. So does that mean that
- 14:10Speaker 1: they couldn't have been abused by Jeffrey Epstein? Does that
- 14:12Speaker 1: mean that they had a credibility problem? Well, maybe if
- 14:16Speaker 1: it was one person, but what about 40? What about 50?
- 14:20Speaker 1: So today we have an article from the New York
- 14:23Speaker 1: Post and the headline, Jeffrey Epstein accusers had credibility challenges,
- 14:28Speaker 1: including past arrests, changing stories, DOJ memos detail. And we've
- 14:33Speaker 1: talked about this countless times. We didn't need the memos
- 14:36Speaker 1: for this. It's no secret that they destroyed their own
- 14:39Speaker 1: case and their own witnesses, and they only brought one
- 14:41Speaker 1: girl up. Now, they'll tell you it's because they had
- 14:45Speaker 1: credibility issues, but that's not really true. Furthermore, does Glenn
- 14:51Speaker 1: Maxwell have credibility issues? She sure got some favorable treatment, huh?
- 14:56Speaker 1: How about Sammy the Bull Gravano? Or how about Whitey Bulger?
- 15:00Speaker 1: Give me a break, okay? They think you're stupid. That's
- 15:03Speaker 1: what it comes down to. And of course it gives
- 15:05Speaker 1: ammunition to the people that are running cover for the cover-up.
- 15:09Speaker 1: And there's plenty of them out there. This article was
- 15:14Speaker 1: authored by Samuel Chamberlain and Josh Christensen. South Florida prosecutors
- 15:20Speaker 1: pitched the 60-count indictment of Jeffrey Epstein on charges, including
- 15:23Speaker 1: child prostitution and sex trafficking in the late 2000s, but
- 15:27Speaker 1: fretted that their case would be undone by some of
- 15:30Speaker 1: the pedophiles' alleged victims, according to newly released files. Well,
- 15:34Speaker 1: the OIG report says that CEOs, the child exploitation unit,
- 15:39Speaker 1: was completely on board and wanted to go forward. And
- 15:42Speaker 1: everything was on track to do so until Mukasey and
- 15:46Speaker 1: Philippe got involved from Maine Justice. And of course, that
- 15:50Speaker 1: came after a lot of pressure that was put on
- 15:52Speaker 1: them by Epstein's legal team. So it wasn't like, you know,
- 15:57Speaker 1: there was this gigantic push for this case to go away.
- 16:02Speaker 1: In fact, they thought they had enough. And that's basically
- 16:05Speaker 1: all the line prosecutors. It was the bosses, the brass,
- 16:09Speaker 1: that killed it. The Justice Department made public 20 additional
- 16:14Speaker 1: documents related to the disgraced financier Thursday evening, including, for
- 16:18Speaker 1: the first time, memos laying out the aborted Sunshine State
- 16:22Speaker 1: case against Epstein, who died in his Manhattan jail cell
- 16:26Speaker 1: in August of 2019, while awaiting trial on separate sex
- 16:30Speaker 1: trafficking charges. Yeah, but the first time around, they weren't credible, right?
- 16:34Speaker 1: The second time, though, very credible. The idiocy here is
- 16:38Speaker 1: just almost unbelievable, and it's wild that they believe that
- 16:41Speaker 1: anyone is going to believe this. As we said a
- 16:45Speaker 1: week ago, the Department of Justice reviewed public allegations that
- 16:49Speaker 1: Form 302 Interview Summary, documents originally produced to Glaine Maxwell
- 16:54Speaker 1: and Discovery of her criminal case were missing from the EFTA,
- 16:57Speaker 1: Epstein Files Transparency Act Library, the DOJ posted on X,
- 17:03Speaker 1: What we found through extensive review is that a published
- 17:06Speaker 1: interview summary, additionally disclosed in a published spreadsheet, had a
- 17:10Speaker 1: subsequent document that were coded as duplicative. The DOJ also said,
- 17:16Speaker 1: After this was brought to our attention, we reviewed the
- 17:19Speaker 1: entire batch with similar coding and discovered 15 documents were
- 17:23Speaker 1: incorrectly coded as duplicative. Under normal circumstances, I might give
- 17:28Speaker 1: you the benefit of the doubt. But here, I do not.
- 17:31Speaker 1: I think you're lying, and I think everything you're saying
- 17:33Speaker 1: is BS. Five more documents were prosecution memos, three of
- 17:40Speaker 1: which were drafted by the office of then-South Florida U.S.
- 17:43Speaker 1: Attorney Alex Acosta. Those memos reveal that prosecutors suggested taking
- 17:48Speaker 1: Epstein into custody as early as May 2007 and seeking
- 17:52Speaker 1: the seizure of his Palm Beach, Florida home and two
- 17:55Speaker 1: private jets, until Epstein's lawyers started controlling the situation. Have
- 18:01Speaker 1: you not been paying attention? That's what happened. Epstein's lawyers
- 18:07Speaker 1: got to justice, the brass, and started, you know, pulling levers.
- 18:11Speaker 1: That's why he hired the people he did. What, you
- 18:13Speaker 1: think Ken Starr was just out of the blue? Alan
- 18:17Speaker 1: Dershowitz just out of the blue? Lefkowitz out of the blue?
- 18:22Speaker 1: Menchel out of the blue? Lily Sanchez out of the blue?
- 18:25Speaker 1: Bruce Reinhardt out of the blue? Come on. All these
- 18:28Speaker 1: people were working on the case. And then they flipped
- 18:30Speaker 1: sides to start working for Epstein. Nothing to see here though.
- 18:33Speaker 1: No big deal. However, the documents also outlined the lines
- 18:38Speaker 1: of attack that could be used by Epstein's all-star legal
- 18:41Speaker 1: team to place reasonable doubt in the minds of a
- 18:44Speaker 1: potential jury. That is such BS. Can you imagine sitting
- 18:49Speaker 1: on a jury and them trying to pitch that to you?
- 18:52Speaker 1: and then the prosecution bringing eight, ten girls up to
- 18:56Speaker 1: tell you their story, which way are you going to
- 18:58Speaker 1: lean as a juror? The whole thing is BS, and
- 19:02Speaker 1: that's why it makes me so goddamn mad. Top of
- 19:05Speaker 1: the list potential weaknesses was the girl whose parents initially
- 19:08Speaker 1: flagged Epstein's proclivities to the Palm Beach Police Department in 2005.
- 19:14Speaker 1: Get ready for this. Copies of a MySpace page credited
- 19:17Speaker 1: to Redacted were provided to the state attorney's office and
- 19:20Speaker 1: to our office. reads the possible credibility challenges section from
- 19:25Speaker 1: a February 2008 version of the prosecuting memo. On that page,
- 19:29Speaker 1: Redacted states that she's 21 years old, she drinks, and
- 19:33Speaker 1: has taken drugs, she shoplifts, and she earns $ 250, 000 a year.
- 19:37Speaker 1: The MySpace page also shows a picture of Redacted wrestling
- 19:41Speaker 1: with her boyfriend and a photograph of a naked girl
- 19:44Speaker 1: lying on a beach. During her first session with the police,
- 19:48Speaker 1: she also minimized what happened with Epstein denying that he
- 19:51Speaker 1: touched her. She was scared. How about the second interview?
- 19:55Speaker 1: Or the third one that we went through? You see,
- 19:57Speaker 1: they can't fool us. We've actually read the interviews. So
- 20:01Speaker 1: they can try and spin it however they want. But
- 20:03Speaker 1: I've given it to you, uncut, unadulterated, so that when
- 20:07Speaker 1: they try their bullshit... you see it for what it is.
- 20:13Speaker 1: The memo then sought to address each of those concerns,
- 20:15Speaker 1: noting that the accuser denied the MySpace page was hers,
- 20:19Speaker 1: a claim investigators could neither confirm or refute, and adding
- 20:23Speaker 1: that prosecutors had secured two experts to testify that sex-abused
- 20:26Speaker 1: victims minimize what happened to them until they feel more
- 20:29Speaker 1: secure about the interviewer. Well, that's pretty obvious. And we
- 20:34Speaker 1: can see Jane Doe warm up to Michelle Pagan as
- 20:38Speaker 1: she's talking to her in the interview. Another accuser was
- 20:41Speaker 1: flagged for having brought several girls to Epstein's home, knowing
- 20:44Speaker 1: that they were underage, and she has been given immunity
- 20:47Speaker 1: for her testimony, though prosecutors caveated that she is very
- 20:52Speaker 1: straightforward about Epstein's actions and her own, and that members
- 20:56Speaker 1: of the federal grand jury had seemed to believe her.
- 20:59Speaker 1: I think they're talking about Haley Robson here, and her
- 21:03Speaker 1: behavior and her activities while in Epstein's clutches. Now, there's
- 21:07Speaker 1: a bunch of dickheads out there that'll try and tell
- 21:09Speaker 1: you that Haley Robson is some kind of gigantic human trafficker.
- 21:13Speaker 1: But let's remember that she fell into Epstein's clutches when
- 21:16Speaker 1: she was 16. And not only that, she spoke with
- 21:19Speaker 1: the police. Not like she was hiding. She wasn't pulling
- 21:22Speaker 1: a Nadia Marcinkova. She didn't pull a Leslie Groff or
- 21:26Speaker 1: a Sarah Kellen Vickers. She talked to the police. Maybe
- 21:29Speaker 1: somebody should let Anna Paulina Luna know that when she's
- 21:32Speaker 1: done with her interdimensional demons or whatever the fuck she's
- 21:35Speaker 1: up to. A third was mentioned as a credibility risk
- 21:39Speaker 1: after an arrest while a juvenile for marijuana possession and shoplifting,
- 21:44Speaker 1: while concerns were raised about a fourth accuser over an
- 21:47Speaker 1: arrest on drug charges and her dismissal from a retail
- 21:50Speaker 1: job at Victoria's Secret for theft. So those are the
- 21:54Speaker 1: credibility issues. As a juror, would any of that matter
- 21:57Speaker 1: to you? If all the evidence was overwhelming, you had
- 22:02Speaker 1: the massage pads, I mean the message pads, You had
- 22:05Speaker 1: all the corroborating evidence. You had all the circumstantial stuff
- 22:08Speaker 1: we've seen. Would that really matter to you? It wouldn't
- 22:11Speaker 1: to me. Because guess what? Even if those girls were
- 22:14Speaker 1: doing drugs and having sex and all the rest of it, shoplifting,
- 22:18Speaker 1: they can still be abused. They can still be taken
- 22:21Speaker 1: advantage of. So stop the bullshit. Follow the evidence wherever
- 22:27Speaker 1: it goes. The same accuser admittedly has used drugs since
- 22:31Speaker 1: becoming involved with Epstein, but she seems to have finished
- 22:34Speaker 1: that phase of her life. Prosecutors also noted that her
- 22:38Speaker 1: allegations were backed up by phone and financial records, indicating
- 22:42Speaker 1: Epstein paid her between $ 300 and $ 1, 000 for sexual favors.
- 22:49Speaker 1: Ever think she was using drugs because Epstein was abusing her?
- 22:52Speaker 1: That might have something to do with it, right? I mean,
- 22:54Speaker 1: you know, correlation and all. In a February 2008 memo,
- 22:59Speaker 1: prosecutors noted that a fifth victim had given testimony to
- 23:03Speaker 1: a state grand jury during which she exhibited no hostility
- 23:06Speaker 1: towards Epstein and said that she testified only because she
- 23:10Speaker 1: was subpoenaed to appear. Well, did you ever think that
- 23:13Speaker 1: Epstein got to her, reached out to her, paid her,
- 23:16Speaker 1: threatened her, threatened her family? Holy shit, man. Her statements
- 23:21Speaker 1: are well corroborated by the telephone records, etc., prosecutors said
- 23:25Speaker 1: of this accuser. But as with the other girls, her
- 23:28Speaker 1: past is not pristine. If she's underage, it doesn't matter.
- 23:31Speaker 1: There's no coercion. Once someone's underage, that's it. You cannot
- 23:35Speaker 1: have relations with her, stupid. You can't traffic her, stupid.
- 23:39Speaker 1: You can't coerce her, stupid. Protective orders in the Southern
- 23:44Speaker 1: District of New York and Southern District of Florida had
- 23:46Speaker 1: initially prohibited the release of grand jury material in the
- 23:50Speaker 1: Epstein and Maxwell cases, a senior DOJ official told the
- 23:53Speaker 1: Post on Thursday. Appearing before the House Oversight Committee in
- 23:58Speaker 1: September of 2025, Acosta told lawmakers that securing a guilty
- 24:02Speaker 1: verdict against Epstein would have been a crapshoot. Borrowing the
- 24:06Speaker 1: characterization of the case from an officer in the Justice
- 24:09Speaker 1: Department's Child Exploitation and Obscenity section who worked briefly on
- 24:14Speaker 1: the case. That's not true. We know that CEOS was
- 24:19Speaker 1: completely on board. Just go back and read the OIG report.
- 24:23Speaker 1: And again, that's why we do it. What, you think
- 24:25Speaker 1: I have fun reading all those court documents? Not exactly
- 24:28Speaker 1: the greatest time in the world, but it's necessary. And
- 24:32Speaker 1: I think it's important that all of you know what's
- 24:35Speaker 1: going on and not from these people telling you directly
- 24:39Speaker 1: from the source. That's how you form a real opinion, right? Ultimately,
- 24:43Speaker 1: we just wanted the guy to go to jail. He
- 24:45Speaker 1: said of a much derided June 2008 non-prosecution agreement that
- 24:49Speaker 1: saw Epstein serve fewer than 13 months on a state
- 24:52Speaker 1: charge of soliciting sex from a minor. with much of
- 24:55Speaker 1: that time spent on work release. Very fair deal. Very fair.
- 25:00Speaker 1: The kind of deal everybody gets, right? Certainly not the
- 25:03Speaker 1: deal my family member got. Launched his ass to prison
- 25:07Speaker 1: for over six years for illegal gambling. But cool, Jeffrey Epstein,
- 25:12Speaker 1: 13 months, gets to go out, do whatever he wants,
- 25:15Speaker 1: and continue to abuse people while he's under the custody
- 25:18Speaker 1: of the state. Hell of a job, guys. Hell of
- 25:21Speaker 1: a job. Tell us about credibility issues some more, though.
- 25:24Speaker 1: Many victims refused to testify. Many victims had changing stories.
- 25:28Speaker 1: All of us understood why they had changing stories, but
- 25:31Speaker 1: they did. And defense counsel would have, cross-examination, would have
- 25:35Speaker 1: been withering, Acosta added. Many of them had issues in
- 25:38Speaker 1: their background. They had the MySpace pages. They had priors
- 25:41Speaker 1: that would have been used against them by defense counsel.
- 25:44Speaker 1: And that was at a time when, in all candor,
- 25:47Speaker 1: defense could be much, much tougher on victims on the stand,
- 25:51Speaker 1: said the former U.S. attorney. who added that he considered
- 25:54Speaker 1: the tactics used by Epstein's legal team, which included famed
- 25:57Speaker 1: advocate Alan Dershowitz and former independent counsel Kenneth Starr, skirted
- 26:02Speaker 1: the line of professional misconduct. Not skirted the line. They
- 26:06Speaker 1: crossed the line many, many times. And Alex Acosta didn't
- 26:09Speaker 1: have the courage to stare them down. Instead, he acquiesced
- 26:13Speaker 1: to everything that they demanded. And when he didn't acquiesce
- 26:17Speaker 1: to one of their requests, they just went over his head.
- 26:21Speaker 1: With the non-prosecution agreement, Acosta said, we put him in jail.
- 26:25Speaker 1: He registered as a sex offender and the victims had
- 26:27Speaker 1: an opportunity to recover. And that was a win. Not true.
- 26:30Speaker 1: You put him in jail. He kept abusing. Victims had
- 26:33Speaker 1: a chance to recover. Which ones? Point them out. Everybody
- 26:36Speaker 1: likes to say victims this, survivors that. Which ones? They're
- 26:40Speaker 1: not monolithic. These are all different people with unique stories
- 26:45Speaker 1: of abuse that they suffered at the hands of Jeffrey
- 26:47Speaker 1: Epstein and his friends. It's not monolithic. Looking at all
- 26:53Speaker 1: of this, the ultimate judgment was, do you roll the dice?
- 26:56Speaker 1: And if he gets away with it, you're sending a
- 26:58Speaker 1: signal to the community that he can get away with it.
- 27:01Speaker 1: Such bullshit. You sent that signal to the community by
- 27:04Speaker 1: not going hard. That was the signal you sent? Don't
- 27:10Speaker 1: give us this BS you were scared to go after
- 27:12Speaker 1: him at trial. Federal prosecutors pursue shit all the time
- 27:17Speaker 1: that's way weaker than this. It wasn't you didn't have
- 27:21Speaker 1: the evidence, you didn't have the courage. That's what it was.
- 27:25Speaker 1: A senior DOJ official told reporters that roughly 60,000 documents
- 27:29Speaker 1: had been pulled from the Epstein Library and placed back
- 27:32Speaker 1: under review to ensure proper redactions of victim images or
- 27:36Speaker 1: pornographic material. More than 3.5 million pages of documents have
- 27:40Speaker 1: been reviewed by DOJ employees and placed on the library's
- 27:44Speaker 1: webpage since President Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act
- 27:48Speaker 1: into law last November. Yo, there's no such thing as
- 27:51Speaker 1: a perfect victim. All kinds of people can be victimized.
- 27:56Speaker 1: Even people that have a checkered past. And that doesn't
- 27:58Speaker 1: make them liars. That doesn't mean we shouldn't believe them.
- 28:02Speaker 1: What we should do is look at all the evidence
- 28:04Speaker 1: provided and go from there. But they just skipped all
- 28:07Speaker 1: of that and instead decided that it wasn't worth pursuing
- 28:11Speaker 1: in federal court and they just kicked it back down
- 28:14Speaker 1: to state. Because, you know, that's what the federal government
- 28:16Speaker 1: always does. So they can talk about credibility issues all
- 28:19Speaker 1: they want. But the only credibility issue I see here
- 28:23Speaker 1: isn't with the witnesses. It's with the DOJ itself. All
- 28:28Speaker 1: the information that goes with this episode can be found
- 28:31Speaker 1: in the description box. Everyone and welcome back to the
- 28:34Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. Hope everybody's having a great Saturday morning out there.
- 28:39Speaker 1: And hopefully the rest of your weekend is even better. Today,
- 28:44Speaker 1: we're going to talk a little bit more about Ghislaine
- 28:46Speaker 1: Maxwell and the new court filings that her and her
- 28:51Speaker 1: team are trying to keep under wraps. Now, we all
- 28:55Speaker 1: know the situation with juror number 50 at this point,
- 28:59Speaker 1: and we all know that Team Maxwell is pushing hard
- 29:03Speaker 1: for a mistrial. Now, to go along with all of that,
- 29:07Speaker 1: they have these new filings that they want to keep
- 29:11Speaker 1: under seal because, according to them, they don't want juror
- 29:15Speaker 1: number 50 to get any information that he might not have, right?
- 29:20Speaker 1: They want to make sure that they're not making it
- 29:22Speaker 1: easy for him if in the event he gets prosecuted
- 29:25Speaker 1: or what have you. Now, the prosecutors, on the flip
- 29:30Speaker 1: side of that, they're calling for transparency, right? which is
- 29:34Speaker 1: crazy considering the federal government doesn't even know how to
- 29:37Speaker 1: spell transparency usually but at least in this case the
- 29:40Speaker 1: prosecutors are saying no we don't want this stuff under
- 29:43Speaker 1: seal and they're challenging the filings by the defense so
- 29:50Speaker 1: it's going to come down to judge nathan making a
- 29:52Speaker 1: ruling on what's going to be sealed what's not going
- 29:55Speaker 1: to be sealed and what's going to be for public
- 29:58Speaker 1: consumption Now, you all know where I stand on this.
- 30:02Speaker 1: I think everything should be for public consumption. Anything that
- 30:05Speaker 1: has been put to rest, if you will, court documents
- 30:10Speaker 1: about Jeffrey Epstein or people who might be dead or arrested, whatever,
- 30:14Speaker 1: all of that stuff should be public knowledge. It should
- 30:17Speaker 1: be open for the public to consume. And there should
- 30:20Speaker 1: be no transparency whatsoever when it comes to the Jeffrey
- 30:24Speaker 1: Epstein criminal enterprise. Unless, of course, that We're keeping, you know,
- 30:30Speaker 1: under wraps the name of people who were abused. Then,
- 30:33Speaker 1: of course, you don't want that stuff out there. I'm
- 30:36Speaker 1: talking about information about those who were involved in the crimes.
- 30:41Speaker 1: There should be no blanket of secrecy. There should be
- 30:44Speaker 1: no trans. There should be no protection. It should be
- 30:48Speaker 1: all transparent. Right. Once these people are outed, once, you know,
- 30:52Speaker 1: this case hits the court, I don't want to hear about, oh,
- 30:55Speaker 1: let's keep this under wraps anymore. Enough of that. This
- 30:58Speaker 1: is not a national security issue. We don't have Boris
- 31:01Speaker 1: over here from whatever the new version of the security
- 31:07Speaker 1: services in Russia trying to figure out what's up with
- 31:09Speaker 1: Ghislaine Maxwell. This is CYA type shit... When they keep
- 31:15Speaker 1: things sealed... As far as the federal government... Like their
- 31:17Speaker 1: investigation into what happened... Into Jeffrey Epstein's death in the jailhouse...
- 31:23Speaker 1: It's not because it's national security... It's because they don't
- 31:25Speaker 1: want to have egg on their face... And they know
- 31:27Speaker 1: they dropped the ball... And we've experienced that... So much here...
- 31:33Speaker 1: In the Jeffrey Epstein case... And the investigation into what happened...
- 31:37Speaker 1: It has been a brick wall basically... When you're looking
- 31:40Speaker 1: for information... And it has to do with Jeffrey Epstein's death.
- 31:44Speaker 1: Forget about it. But it's just been the way this
- 31:47Speaker 1: case has been conducted from the very beginning. So much secrecy.
- 31:53Speaker 1: People who should be outed not being outed. And somehow
- 31:56Speaker 1: these people, the so-called elite, continue to be protected. Thankfully,
- 32:02Speaker 1: that's starting to change and more people have had enough.
- 32:05Speaker 1: More people like you out there are not buying the
- 32:08Speaker 1: bullshit line that's being fed to them. And that's a
- 32:11Speaker 1: good thing because there is a massive awakening going on.
- 32:14Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about any nonsense about, you know,
- 32:17Speaker 1: this conspiracy theory or that. I'm talking about, in general,
- 32:21Speaker 1: amongst people around the world, waking up and understanding that
- 32:25Speaker 1: the circumstances that we find ourselves in are not good.
- 32:29Speaker 1: And when you have people like Jeffrey Epstein and the
- 32:32Speaker 1: people protecting him at the very highest levers of control,
- 32:38Speaker 1: it's never going to work out well for the rest
- 32:40Speaker 1: of us. So if we can't come together and rally
- 32:44Speaker 1: to stand up to people like Jeffrey Epstein and human traffickers,
- 32:48Speaker 1: then I don't know what sort of common ground we
- 32:50Speaker 1: can find. One thing I will say, though, is throughout
- 32:54Speaker 1: this whole entire time I've been researching this case, there
- 32:58Speaker 1: have been people from all walks of the political spectrum
- 33:03Speaker 1: who have come together and dropped all of their political
- 33:06Speaker 1: BS beefs to work to try and bring justice here.
- 33:10Speaker 1: And I think that's the proper way forward, right? Common ground.
- 33:13Speaker 1: I mean, if we can't find common ground going after
- 33:15Speaker 1: people like Epstein, I don't even know what to say.
- 33:18Speaker 1: But thankfully, most people who are interested in this case
- 33:22Speaker 1: have only one goal in mind, and that is bringing
- 33:25Speaker 1: the people who are responsible for these heinous crimes to justice.
- 33:31Speaker 1: All right, so we have an article today from Bloomberg. Headline,
- 33:35Speaker 1: Maxwell prosecutors oppose keeping keeping new trial request under seal.
- 33:41Speaker 1: This article was authored by Patricia Hurtado. Glenn Maxwell's prosecutor
- 33:48Speaker 1: said her request for a new trial based on a
- 33:50Speaker 1: juror's disclosure that he was the victim of childhood sexual
- 33:54Speaker 1: abuse should be public. A hundred percent. Like I just
- 33:58Speaker 1: said in the monologue there. I honestly, I don't believe
- 34:01Speaker 1: that anything should be under seal at this point, unless
- 34:04Speaker 1: it has to do with privacy for the survivors. If
- 34:07Speaker 1: you're named as somebody in this case, a person of interest,
- 34:10Speaker 1: somebody who was hanging around Epstein, sorry to say, but
- 34:14Speaker 1: any kind of privacy that you should be entitled to
- 34:17Speaker 1: is out the window. Last month, the British socialite, you
- 34:22Speaker 1: mean human trafficker, Patricia Hurtado, that's what she is, a
- 34:25Speaker 1: convicted felon, not a socialite, former socialite, Do we call,
- 34:30Speaker 1: you know, Charlie Manson a former construction worker or whatever
- 34:34Speaker 1: the hell he did before he killed people or sent
- 34:36Speaker 1: people off to kill people? Do we call John Wayne
- 34:39Speaker 1: Gacy the engaging, loving clown? No, of course not. Call
- 34:43Speaker 1: him a murderer, a serial killer, a sick fuck, just
- 34:46Speaker 1: like Ghislaine Maxwell. filed the request under seal with her lawyer,
- 34:54Speaker 1: Christian Everdell, arguing on Tuesday that public disclosure would provide
- 34:58Speaker 1: a roadmap for the juror and give him an improper
- 35:01Speaker 1: preview of information he shouldn't have. Maxwell's jury was anonymous
- 35:05Speaker 1: and the man was only known as juror 50 during
- 35:09Speaker 1: the trial. So again, what they're saying is their reasoning
- 35:13Speaker 1: for trying to keep this under seal is that it
- 35:16Speaker 1: would give juror number 50, Scotty David, kind of an
- 35:19Speaker 1: idea of what's going on here. And they don't want
- 35:22Speaker 1: that to happen, right? They don't want him to be prepared.
- 35:25Speaker 1: They don't want his lawyer, Todd Spodek, to be prepared.
- 35:28Speaker 1: So they're trying to keep it under seal and under
- 35:30Speaker 1: wraps for as long as possible. Prosecutor Maureen Comey on
- 35:37Speaker 1: Friday rejected Maxwell's claims as unfounded, arguing that there was
- 35:42Speaker 1: no reason for the filings to remain sealed because the
- 35:44Speaker 1: material was already made public by the juror when he
- 35:48Speaker 1: spoke with the media. Makes sense, right? Dude spoke to
- 35:51Speaker 1: the media, gave up the information already. What are you
- 35:54Speaker 1: talking about under seal? What's the deal with all of
- 35:57Speaker 1: this sealed nonsense? Now, obviously, if you're Ghislaine Maxwell and
- 36:01Speaker 1: her team, I could see why they'd want to keep
- 36:04Speaker 1: everything sealed. They know that it's a bad look for
- 36:07Speaker 1: them no matter what happens. Maybe not in this instance
- 36:10Speaker 1: so much, but as far as documentation throughout this whole thing,
- 36:15Speaker 1: they knew that it would cast a bad light on
- 36:18Speaker 1: their clients. So that's why Ghislaine Maxwell and her team
- 36:21Speaker 1: fought so hard to keep those documents from the original
- 36:24Speaker 1: deposition out of the public light. Thankfully, Judge Preska wasn't
- 36:29Speaker 1: having it, and she released a bunch of those documents,
- 36:33Speaker 1: and still more are on the way. But if it
- 36:35Speaker 1: was up to Ghislaine Maxwell and her team, everything would
- 36:38Speaker 1: have been kept in the dark forever. There can be
- 36:43Speaker 1: no need to hide from public view a discussion of
- 36:45Speaker 1: public materials, Comey said. The defense's suggestion that her defense
- 36:50Speaker 1: briefing contains information from some significant investigation into Juror 50
- 36:55Speaker 1: is not accurate. The motion does not contain any significant
- 36:58Speaker 1: material that is not otherwise public. So, that's Maureen Comey
- 37:03Speaker 1: pretty much poo-pooing the idea. Telling the court, look, we
- 37:07Speaker 1: don't need this to be sealed. We don't need this
- 37:10Speaker 1: to be kept under wraps. There's nothing in there that
- 37:13Speaker 1: would be considered detrimental. So in our opinion, meaning the
- 37:19Speaker 1: prosecution's opinion, we don't want this documentation sealed, which is
- 37:23Speaker 1: kind of funny considering Maureen Comey and friends usually love
- 37:27Speaker 1: to seal shit. Several media organizations have also urged U.S.
- 37:33Speaker 1: District Judge Allison Nathan to unseal the proceedings. Maxwell, who
- 37:38Speaker 1: was convicted in December of enticing, grooming, and sexually abusing
- 37:42Speaker 1: underage girls with her former boyfriend, Jeffrey Epstein. Again, you
- 37:46Speaker 1: say right here in this article, Mr. Toto, that she
- 37:49Speaker 1: was convicted of enticing, grooming, and sexually abusing underage girls,
- 37:54Speaker 1: but you still call her a socialite at the beginning? Okay,
- 37:57Speaker 1: makes sense. with her former boyfriend, you mean co-conspirator, fellow
- 38:01Speaker 1: child abuser, Jeffrey Epstein, that's what you mean, right? Not
- 38:04Speaker 1: her boyfriend, requested a new trial after the juror told
- 38:08Speaker 1: several media outlets that his revelation of past sexual abuse
- 38:12Speaker 1: helps sway other jurors to convict. And again, that's what
- 38:17Speaker 1: his statement is, right? That's the way he sees things. Now,
- 38:21Speaker 1: I wonder if the other jurors see things quite that way.
- 38:24Speaker 1: Do they feel like they were swayed by Scotty David,
- 38:27Speaker 1: or is this another example of Scotty David wanting to
- 38:31Speaker 1: be the hero of the story? While prospective jurors were
- 38:35Speaker 1: asked whether they had been victims of sexual abuse, the juror,
- 38:39Speaker 1: who identified himself as Scotty David, his first and middle names,
- 38:43Speaker 1: told Reuters that he flew through the jury questionnaire, and again,
- 38:47Speaker 1: Just a public service announcement. If you're ever doing jury
- 38:51Speaker 1: duty or you're called to sit in and, you know,
- 38:54Speaker 1: be part of a jury, probably a good idea to
- 38:57Speaker 1: answer all of the questions truthfully. Probably a good idea
- 39:00Speaker 1: not to fly through the questionnaire like you're taking a
- 39:04Speaker 1: ninth grade math test. Abba dabba the whole way through
- 39:07Speaker 1: on your, you know, it's just it's ridiculous. Pay attention.
- 39:12Speaker 1: Do the right thing and don't try and insert yourself
- 39:15Speaker 1: in the story. I just don't understand that whole entire mentality.
- 39:18Speaker 1: These people that want to be the story. What you're
- 39:21Speaker 1: doing is making things much more difficult on these survivors.
- 39:26Speaker 1: If this moron had never came out and spoke all
- 39:29Speaker 1: this nonsense. to the media, just kept his mouth shut
- 39:32Speaker 1: and didn't insert himself, we wouldn't even be talking about
- 39:35Speaker 1: this right now. We'd be talking about sentencing, you know,
- 39:38Speaker 1: all of the good stuff that comes after a conviction
- 39:41Speaker 1: of an animal like Maxwell. But no, juror number 50,
- 39:45Speaker 1: Scotty David, decided he'd come out, run his fat yap,
- 39:49Speaker 1: and now here we are. So hopefully, all of this
- 39:53Speaker 1: stuff that they're talking about remains unsealed and ready for
- 39:57Speaker 1: public consumption. Because nobody trusts anything that's going on, right?
- 40:04Speaker 1: Nobody wants to hear about, oh, well, this is under seal,
- 40:07Speaker 1: or the public can't consume this. Everyone's had a belly
- 40:10Speaker 1: full of that. And it's time for the federal government, especially,
- 40:16Speaker 1: to just be correct when it comes to Maxwell and Epstein.
- 40:22Speaker 1: Unseal all the documentation that should be unsealed. Everything that
- 40:27Speaker 1: pertains to the case. Because nobody trusts the official narrative
- 40:31Speaker 1: from Jeffrey Epstein being killed or dying in prison or jail,
- 40:36Speaker 1: I mean, to Epstein being protected by people in intelligence services.
- 40:42Speaker 1: Nobody trusts the institutions anymore. And that is the one
- 40:46Speaker 1: thing that everybody seems to agree on. He also said
- 40:50Speaker 1: he didn't remember such a question, but would have answered
- 40:53Speaker 1: honestly if asked. Prosecutors have asked the judge to question
- 40:57Speaker 1: the juror, but Nathan hasn't ruled on the request. So again,
- 41:01Speaker 1: we're really waiting on Judge Nathan, right? That's what it
- 41:03Speaker 1: all comes down to. She's going to make the decision.
- 41:05Speaker 1: She's going to decide if this goes to more of
- 41:09Speaker 1: an investigation, if there is a mistrial or whatever it
- 41:13Speaker 1: might be. It all is going to rest on what
- 41:17Speaker 1: Judge Nathan eventually decides. So we can speculate until that
- 41:22Speaker 1: day comes, right? But we don't know what's going on
- 41:24Speaker 1: in her head. We don't know which way she's going
- 41:26Speaker 1: to land. Hopefully it's on the side of transparency and
- 41:31Speaker 1: all of this stuff remains unsealed. But we all know
- 41:34Speaker 1: how it works, right? We all know the deal with
- 41:37Speaker 1: this kind of thing and how the federal government conducts itself.
- 41:42Speaker 1: They will say that there's an active investigation when you
- 41:45Speaker 1: try and get information about insert situation here. You know
- 41:50Speaker 1: how many times people ran into that trying to get
- 41:52Speaker 1: Freedom of Information Acts as far as Jeffrey Epstein's death?
- 41:57Speaker 1: What they'll say is, well, this is an ongoing and
- 41:59Speaker 1: active investigation, so we can't release any of this information
- 42:03Speaker 1: to you. And that is how the government gets by, right?
- 42:07Speaker 1: When you file a Freedom of Information Act, all they
- 42:09Speaker 1: have to say is, oh, this is an active investigation,
- 42:12Speaker 1: can't help you. And we see that so often with
- 42:15Speaker 1: the federal government. And we have seen that a lot
- 42:18Speaker 1: with the Jeffrey Epstein case, for sure, especially after this
- 42:22Speaker 1: dude's death. Now, as far as Maxwell and the situation here, again,
- 42:27Speaker 1: I don't really know how this is going to end up.
- 42:30Speaker 1: I don't know if Maxwell is going to get a mistrial.
- 42:32Speaker 1: I don't know. Right. I'm just being honest with you, folks.
- 42:34Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit here and say, oh, she's
- 42:36Speaker 1: not she's not going to get a mistrial. This is
- 42:38Speaker 1: over and done with because we don't know. My feeling
- 42:42Speaker 1: is that Judge Nathan isn't going to find enough here.
- 42:45Speaker 1: I feel that Judge Nathan will eventually take a look
- 42:48Speaker 1: at all of this. And I believe that the conviction
- 42:52Speaker 1: will stand. Now, we can argue until the cows come
- 42:57Speaker 1: home about Scotty David and his conversation, right? Was it improper?
- 43:02Speaker 1: Wasn't it improper? And there's a lot to argue there.
- 43:07Speaker 1: Do I think that he should... be talking to the
- 43:11Speaker 1: media after a verdict such as this? No, probably not.
- 43:16Speaker 1: But that said, the stipulations didn't state that they weren't
- 43:23Speaker 1: allowed to speak to the media. So, you know, you
- 43:27Speaker 1: can't really blame him there. But for me, it certainly
- 43:30Speaker 1: looks like he was less than truthful, right? And if
- 43:34Speaker 1: that's the case, then he's an absolute clown. That's really
- 43:40Speaker 1: what it comes down to. If you're lying on the
- 43:42Speaker 1: jury questionnaire, you're lying to get on the jury because
- 43:45Speaker 1: you have an ax to grind or something like that,
- 43:47Speaker 1: and it can end up leading to the situation we're
- 43:50Speaker 1: in now, then yeah, you're a clown, okay? But I'm
- 43:57Speaker 1: very interested to see which way this ends up as
- 44:00Speaker 1: far as from a transparency perspective. Because it could tell
- 44:04Speaker 1: the tale moving forward as far as what we're going
- 44:07Speaker 1: to see unsealed and what we're going to see kept
- 44:09Speaker 1: under wraps. And personally, I want everything dumped. And when
- 44:14Speaker 1: Judge Preska was releasing all of those documents, it was very,
- 44:20Speaker 1: very helpful to the investigation, to the research, because you
- 44:24Speaker 1: can go and cross-reference things now, right? It's one thing
- 44:27Speaker 1: to hear a report source says. It's a whole nother thing.
- 44:30Speaker 1: When that same exact information is in court filings, right?
- 44:34Speaker 1: It brings a lot more weight to it. Someone can
- 44:37Speaker 1: say whatever they want. But when you say something under
- 44:39Speaker 1: oath and it's in court documentation, it brings a whole
- 44:43Speaker 1: different feel to it. Because now you have the threat
- 44:47Speaker 1: of perjury hanging over your head. So if you're not truthful,
- 44:50Speaker 1: the federal government has the in to really make your
- 44:54Speaker 1: life miserable and hell. And believe me, they love to
- 44:57Speaker 1: do it. Whenever you're sitting down with the FBI and
- 45:01Speaker 1: they're doing one of their 302s, oh, they love to
- 45:03Speaker 1: walk people into perjury traps. So it's going to be
- 45:07Speaker 1: interesting moving forward to see how this transparency situation breaks
- 45:11Speaker 1: down here and to see what Judge Nathan decides. I'm
- 45:17Speaker 1: leaning towards no mistrial. I'm leaning towards this conviction standing.
- 45:22Speaker 1: But that said, Maxwell's definitely going to appeal one way
- 45:25Speaker 1: or the other. And then this case will get bumped
- 45:28Speaker 1: up to the appeals court and they'll have a look
- 45:30Speaker 1: and they'll have a say. The one thing that Maxwell
- 45:34Speaker 1: can't be too happy about, however, is that the same
- 45:36Speaker 1: appeals court that's going to get a look at this. Well,
- 45:39Speaker 1: Judge Nathan is going to be sitting on that appeals
- 45:41Speaker 1: court soon. So she's going to know the case in
- 45:44Speaker 1: and out. And I'm sure her colleagues will rely on her,
- 45:49Speaker 1: you know, adjudication of this case. to get information from
- 45:53Speaker 1: her clerks or whatever it might be so they have
- 45:56Speaker 1: a full, robust idea about what happened. Maxwell and her
- 46:02Speaker 1: chances moving forward? I don't think they're very good, folks.
- 46:06Speaker 1: And to be honest with you, I can't see Ghislaine
- 46:08Speaker 1: Maxwell ever getting out of jail. I think she's going
- 46:13Speaker 1: to serve this whole sentence... And at her age, with
- 46:16Speaker 1: the years she's facing, looks like bologna sandwiches and jailhouse
- 46:21Speaker 1: quesadillas are on the menu for the rest of her life.
- 46:25Speaker 1: All right, folks, that's going to do it for this
- 46:27Speaker 1: morning's episode. I'll be back later on today at some
- 46:31Speaker 1: point with some more. But until then, there's some context
- 46:36Speaker 1: episodes coming your way. Hope that everybody has an awesome day.
