Hacker Penetrates FBI System Containing Epstein Investigation Records · The Epstein Chronicles

0:00
Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
0:03
Epstein Chronicles. Back in twenty twenty three, there was a
0:07
breach of the FBI mainframe where a hacker agained access
0:14
to the Epstein files, and according to the report from Reuters,
0:19
the activity included calling through certain files pertaining to the
0:23
Epstein investigation. So my question is, how does something like
0:27
that even happen. You would think that the FBI would
0:30
have their shit on lock, and you would think that
0:33
they'd have some kind of layered protection to make sure
0:36
people can't get access to these files. And it really
0:39
slams the point home that the FBI just can't be
0:41
trusted when it comes to anything Jeffrey Epstein. And to
0:45
be clear, this happened during the Biden administration, and it
0:50
just goes to show you the long line of failures
0:53
that we're dealing with when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein.
0:56
So today we have an article from cybernews dot com
1:00
the headline Epstein files compromised by a foreign hacker who
1:04
breached the FBI. This article was originally published by Reuters.
1:12
The details of who access to server at the FBI's
1:15
New York Field office, including the allegation that a foreign
1:18
hacker was involved are being reported for the first time.
1:22
In a statement, the FBI said, what it described as
1:25
a cyber incident was an isolated one. Oh well, in
1:28
that case, folks, everything's okay. It was just an isolated incident.
1:32
Do they think we're stupid? If this was targeted and
1:38
they were looking for certain documents, all they needed was
1:41
an isolated incident. They didn't need to have access to
1:44
the server for months on end. If they were looking
1:47
for specific files or specific information, all they needed was
1:52
an isolated incident. So the question should be what did
1:55
they access, what files, what did they take? Did they
1:59
change anything? We need a full accounting of that. The
2:03
FBI restricted access to the malicious actor and rectified the network.
2:08
The investigation remains ongoing, so we do not have further
2:11
comments to provide at this time. Oh, of course, another
2:15
ongoing investigation. God forbid they give us any information about
2:19
anything ever. But one thing we do know is that
2:25
this server was breached and this information was accessed by
2:29
a malicious actor. And considering how many pies Jeffrey Epstein
2:33
had his hands in around the world, it could be anybody.
2:36
Masad Russia fucking China. Who knows, honestly at this point,
2:41
who knows? Epstein was so intertwined with people that it
2:46
could be anybody? And of course we can't rule out
2:48
our own CIA what they can't make it look like
2:52
it was a foreign actor doing this. Come on, we
2:54
all know the truth, and as far as I'm concerned,
2:56
the CIA sure has a lot to hide when it
2:59
comes to their life relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. If you
3:03
think the CIA was not aware of Epstein, didn't know
3:06
who Epstein was, wasn't in bed with Epstein, I really
3:10
don't know what to tell you. Although the source said
3:15
the intrusion appeared to be carried out by a cyber
3:18
criminal rather than a foreign government, the incident underscores the
3:21
files potential intelligence value. One academic said, well, there's no
3:26
doubt there's a ton of intelligence value there. So it
3:29
really makes me wonder why it wasn't protected better. You
3:34
mean to tell me the FBI can't safeguard this information
3:38
in a manner that can't be accessed by foreign actors.
3:41
Or could it be that the FBI knows exactly who
3:44
did this and they plan on looking the other way
3:47
and sweeping it under the rug. Again. We can't rule
3:51
anything out. And I wish I could sit here and
3:53
tell you that I trust the DOJ or the FBI
3:56
or anybody in power, But I don't because for years
4:00
and years and years they've taken a dump on us,
4:05
So why should I give them the benefit of the
4:07
doubt in a situation like this. The legally mandated publication
4:14
of US Justice Department documents has exposed the dead financiers
4:18
ties to prominent people in politics, finance, academia, and business,
4:23
triggering investigations in numerous countries around the world. Who wouldn't
4:29
be going after the Epstein files if you're the Russians
4:32
or somebody interested in compromont said John Lindsay, who researches
4:36
the role of emerging technology and global security at the
4:40
Georgia Institute of Technology. If foreign intelligence agencies are not
4:45
thinking seriously about the Epstein files as a target, then
4:48
I would be shocked. Well, I agree with them. There
4:52
there's no doubt that it looks like a juicy target
4:55
for foreign intelligence. I mean, can you imagine the treasure
4:58
trove of information the FBI has when it comes to
5:01
Jeffrey Epstein. I mean, you have to know your employees right.
5:06
The breach was reported contemporaneously by CNN and Reuters. On
5:11
February seventeenth, The connection to Epstein material was made by
5:14
the French magazine Mary Anne. Yo, that's the whole last problem.
5:19
Why aren't our media services here in America putting two
5:23
and two together. Why aren't they building the case. Why
5:27
aren't they bringing their findings to the American people. Why
5:30
aren't they holding the administration accountable? Why is it that
5:35
a foreign news outlet called Mary Anne breaks this story?
5:40
How is that even possible? I'll tell you why. Because
5:43
they still don't get it, they still don't care, and
5:45
a lot of them are still running cover for the
5:48
people that enabled and co conspired with Jeffrey Epstein. The
5:52
legacy media has done a fantastic job when it comes
5:56
to covering up for Jeffrey Epstein. But now now they'll
6:00
tell you that they're the heroes. They were the shining
6:02
light in the darkness, and without the legacy media, we'd
6:06
have none of this information. But the truth is, the
6:08
legacy media has just piggybacked off the work of other
6:11
people and now they're acting like they care all of
6:15
a sudden, But before they couldn't be bothered. Have we
6:20
forgotten about ABC? Have we forgotten about all these outlets
6:23
that call this a conspiracy theory? And look, it's not
6:25
only the legacy media. You have a lot of these people, podcasters, etc.
6:30
Who are on the left who had no time for
6:33
Jeffrey Epstein previously, but now all of a sudden, that's
6:36
all they talk about. And the vast majority of them,
6:39
I hate to say, have no idea what they're even
6:41
talking about. And it's in that confusion that a cover
6:45
up like this thrives. The more confusion, the better. The
6:48
less cohesiveness the better. The more the people are at
6:51
odds with each other, the better. And I don't know
6:54
about you, but I'm tired of marching to their tune.
6:56
In fact, they want this to be a parade like March,
7:00
but instead what they're going to get is a mosh pit. Epstein,
7:05
a longtime associate of President Donald Trump, pleaded guilty in
7:09
two thousand and eight to prostitution charges, including soliciting an
7:13
underage girl. He was found hanged in his jail cell
7:16
in twenty nineteen and what was ruled to suicide after
7:19
being arrested again on federal charges of sex trafficking miners,
7:24
and as you all know, I have my doubts about that,
7:28
and that's why we're spending so much time on these
7:30
OIG interviews with people that were there the night Epstein died.
7:34
And I think it's very apparent that we're not getting
7:37
the whole truth. The hack occurred after a server at
7:41
the Child Exploitation Forensic Lab in the FBI's New York
7:45
Field office was inadvertently left vulnerable by Special Agent Aaron Spivak,
7:50
who was trying to navigate the bureau's complex procedure for
7:53
handling digital evidence. According to the source and the documents,
7:58
hell of a job, mister speak. Has anybody checked his
8:02
bank account? Was he paid to leave this doorway open?
8:07
And again, look, I don't know. I'm not saying that
8:09
he did. I'm asking about the investigation, right, And I
8:12
think we've learned over the years that we have to
8:16
ask all these questions. I know we shouldn't have to
8:19
ask them, it should just be second nature for a
8:21
real investigation. But this is not a real investigation, so
8:25
of course we have to hold our feet to the fire.
8:28
A timeline written by Spivac and included in the large
8:32
cash of Epstein documents released earlier this year, said the
8:35
breaking happened on February twelfth, twenty twenty three. It was
8:39
discovered the following day when Spivac turned on his computer
8:42
and discovered a text file warning them that his network
8:45
had been compromised. Well, according to that document, further investigation
8:50
turned up traces of unusual activity on the server, the
8:53
document said, adding that the activity included combing through certain
8:57
files pertaining to the Epstein investment mitigation. Well, isn't that nice? Huh?
9:03
I wonder what they had access to, what they got
9:06
and what was destroyed, because what you think they just
9:08
took a look? Highly doubt that. Further investigation turned up
9:13
traces of unusual activity on the server, the document said,
9:17
adding that the activity included combing through certain files pertaining
9:21
to the Epstein investigation. The timeline does not say which
9:25
specific files were accessed, whether the hacker downloaded the data,
9:30
or who the hacker was. Reuters could not establish what,
9:34
if any overlap the affected data had with the Epstein
9:38
documents published earlier this year, or the files that remained
9:42
under wraps. We need a full accounting of this. What
9:46
went down, how did it happen? And what's the report? Right?
9:50
Congress needs to get involved here. I mean, this isn't
9:54
setting off red flags and alert bells for everybody else, Like,
9:58
what are we doing here? Vivak, whose name appears elsewhere
10:01
in the documents in connection with the Epstein investigation, did
10:05
not return repeated messages seeking comment. Reuters was unable to
10:09
reach the man identified in the documents as Spivak's lawyer,
10:13
Richard J. Roberson Junior, and seven FBI agents identified in
10:19
the documents as being involved in the investigation into the
10:22
incident did not return messages. This is wholly unacceptable. The
10:27
FBI needs to provide clarity on this, what happened, when
10:31
it happened, and where we are in the investigation now.
10:37
In his statement to FBI investigators examining whether he was
10:40
responsible for the breach, Spivak said he was being made
10:43
a scapegoat for the intrusion and that the conflicting bureau
10:47
policies and faulty guidance around information technology were to blame.
10:51
Reuters cannot establish the result of the bureau's internal investigation.
10:57
Probably the same as usual, nothing happens. Oh, don't do
11:00
that again, mister Spivak. Meanwhile, the damage is already done.
11:05
The person familiar with the breach said the intrusion was
11:08
carried out by a foreign hacker who did not appear
11:10
to realize they had penetrated a law enforcement server. The
11:14
hacker expressed disgust at the presence of child abuse images
11:17
on the device and left a message threatening to turn
11:20
its owner over to the FBI, the person said. The
11:24
source said the bureau officials diffuse the situation by convincing
11:28
the hacker that they actually were the FBI, in part
11:31
by having the hacker joined a video chat where they
11:34
flashed their law enforcement credentials in front of a web camera.
11:38
What what in the hell's going on here? And mind you,
11:43
this is twenty twenty three, so let's not forget this
11:46
was that idiot Merrick Garland's DJ, and boy were they
11:51
a bunch of boobs? Oh, let's have a video chat
11:53
with a hacker. Here's an idea, how about you send
11:56
a Tomahawk missile through his window. Many of the Justice
12:02
Department's documents have been heavily redacted, and others have been
12:05
kept secret altogether, despite a law mandating their full release.
12:09
Last year, the Trump administration says it's withholding material that
12:13
could compromise victims identities or jeopardize ongoing investigations. Well, we
12:19
know there's no ongoing investigations, and we know they don't
12:22
care about people's identities considering how shitty they've been when
12:26
it comes to concealing them. So really, what they're doing
12:28
is just giving all of us the middle finger. Right,
12:31
you're not getting these documents and there's nothing you can
12:33
do about it. Oh and by the way, did you
12:36
hear that a hacker hacked our shit and was perusing
12:39
our Epstein files? Yeah, but no big deal. We don't
12:43
need to alert anybody about that. No committee needs to
12:46
be held over that. We don't need to have any
12:49
kind of public answers for that. Can somebody tell me
12:52
again why I should trust the DOJ or the FBI,
12:56
because I can't come up with a reason at this point,
12:59
and it seems like every time we turn around, they're
13:01
giving us another reason not to trust them. And when
13:04
we hear about situations like this, it just slams that
13:06
point home. So obviously Congress needs to get involved here,
13:10
and they need to subpoena mister Spivak and anybody else
13:14
involved and of course that's what would happen if this
13:17
was a real investigation. But considering it's nothing more than
13:20
political theater, I would suggest that you get comfortable now
13:23
with the fact that we're never going to know anything
13:26
really about this hack and who was involved. So let's
13:30
see where this all goes, and let's see what kind
13:32
of information we end up getting. But I have my
13:34
doubts if we're ever going to get any clarity here,
13:38
So we'll keep an eye on it, and when we
13:40
do have some more information one way or the other,
13:42
we'll make sure to update the catalog. As for this one, well,
13:47
that's going to do it. All the information that goes
13:49
with this episode can be found in the description box.
