Latest / The Epstein Chronicles / There Is No Basis To Scrub Jeffrey Epstein's NPA According To The DOJ
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What's up everyone and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
- 0:04Speaker 1: One of the biggest farces in the history of farces
- 0:08Speaker 1: is the fact that Jeffrey Epstein received that sweetheart deal
- 0:12Speaker 1: that he received. That should have never happened. It should
- 0:16Speaker 1: have never went down. And everybody involved in that sweetheart
- 0:20Speaker 1: deal should lose their pensions, should not have a job
- 0:23Speaker 1: working for the federal government, and should be looked at
- 0:26Speaker 1: for perhaps even losing their law license. And I truly
- 0:29Speaker 1: mean that when I say it. That's how big of
- 0:31Speaker 1: a travesty this was. To think that any prosecutor anywhere
- 0:35Speaker 1: in the country would give this guy this kind of
- 0:38Speaker 1: deal is just beyond me. And then for the court system,
- 0:45Speaker 1: The government to say that there is no legal basis
- 0:48Speaker 1: to invalidate the sweetheart deal is even more absurd. So
- 0:52Speaker 1: what you're telling me is there are no levers to
- 0:55Speaker 1: pull on. If something goes wrong in the legal system,
- 0:57Speaker 1: we just have to deal with it. Huh? Seems like
- 1:01Speaker 1: every time something goes south in the legal system, it
- 1:03Speaker 1: always ends up going in the favor of the federal government,
- 1:07Speaker 1: never in the favor of the people. And once again,
- 1:10Speaker 1: we're seeing that here. So what you're telling me is
- 1:12Speaker 1: your rich buddies like Jeffrey Epstein who get these stupid
- 1:15Speaker 1: ass non-prosecution deals handed to them by their friends in
- 1:19Speaker 1: government are just allowed to have them and there's no recourse?
- 1:25Speaker 1: There's no way to go back and look at one
- 1:26Speaker 1: of these deals and say it was done in bad
- 1:29Speaker 1: faith and get rid of it? Just another loophole in
- 1:32Speaker 1: technicality for the so-called elite, huh? Today we have another
- 1:37Speaker 1: article from Law and Crime. Author of this article, Jerry Lamb. Headline,
- 1:42Speaker 1: federal prosecutors say there's no legal basis to invalidate Jeffrey
- 1:46Speaker 1: Epstein's sweetheart deal. Well, I say that needs to be
- 1:50Speaker 1: looked at. Then maybe they need to come up with
- 1:52Speaker 1: a new solution here where in the future, if a
- 1:55Speaker 1: deal like this is given, a panel can be put
- 1:57Speaker 1: together and the panel can look at it and say,
- 1:59Speaker 1: you know what? This is not a deal that we're
- 2:02Speaker 1: comfortable with because this is unacceptable and it can never
- 2:06Speaker 1: happen again. The Department of Justice on Monday rejected efforts
- 2:13Speaker 1: by the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein to get a sweetheart
- 2:17Speaker 1: non-prosecution deal thrown out so that Epstein can be prosecuted
- 2:21Speaker 1: for alleged abuse of dozens of underage girls. Now imagine
- 2:25Speaker 1: being the judge who denies this. In a 35-page motion
- 2:32Speaker 1: first reported by the Miami Herald, federal prosecutors claim that
- 2:36Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein's survivors have no legal basis to invalidate the
- 2:40Speaker 1: non-prosecution agreement. The same agreement the judge in the case
- 2:44Speaker 1: previously said broke the law. So you see what's going
- 2:47Speaker 1: on here? You have judges saying that this agreement broke
- 2:50Speaker 1: the law. Then you have a court saying, oh, well, no,
- 2:54Speaker 1: there's no recourse here for this because there's nothing that
- 2:57Speaker 1: was invalid. So they can't even figure it out. As
- 3:01Speaker 1: far as the legal system itself, what's right or wrong here?
- 3:05Speaker 1: And then they expect us just to stomach it and
- 3:08Speaker 1: suck it down and be okay with it? No way.
- 3:11Speaker 1: There is no chance that this legal agreement should have stood.
- 3:15Speaker 1: There is no chance that it should stand at all.
- 3:17Speaker 1: And in fact, it's ridiculous that anyone would refer to
- 3:20Speaker 1: this and try and use it as a defense, as
- 3:23Speaker 1: we found out in the previous article. It holds no
- 3:26Speaker 1: water unless you're down in Florida. Many of Epstein's survivors
- 3:33Speaker 1: were middle school and high school girls between the ages
- 3:36Speaker 1: of 13 and 16 who were recruited from the local
- 3:39Speaker 1: South Florida area. According to prosecutors, despite a judge's earlier
- 3:44Speaker 1: ruling that the plea deal violated the Crime Victims Rights Act,
- 3:48Speaker 1: So basically what they're doing is using legalese loopholes and
- 3:51Speaker 1: technicalities in the law itself that Congress passed, that Congress wrote.
- 4:11Speaker 1: To get their buddies off once again. And this is
- 4:14Speaker 1: how they do it, right? They put these loopholes and
- 4:16Speaker 1: these technicalities and these laws that you or I would
- 4:19Speaker 1: never be able to exploit. Because we don't have the money.
- 4:22Speaker 1: We don't have the legal power and the backing to
- 4:24Speaker 1: really go toe-to-toe with the federal government. But somebody like
- 4:27Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell, they certainly do. And when
- 4:31Speaker 1: you have those resources, well, the world is your oyster.
- 4:37Speaker 1: In Monday's DOJ filing by attorney Byung Pak, who was
- 4:40Speaker 1: appointed by President Donald Trump, the government admits that the
- 4:44Speaker 1: survivors were treated unfairly, but says that prosecutors were within
- 4:48Speaker 1: their rights to do so. Real nice by Byung Pak, huh?
- 4:52Speaker 1: Hell of a guy. Hell of a attorney here. I mean,
- 4:56Speaker 1: this guy's defending... Just think about this for a minute, okay, folks?
- 4:59Speaker 1: This man is defending this prosecution agreement. All because he
- 5:04Speaker 1: doesn't want the government... To have some dirt on their face.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Instead of just admitting that this deal was bad, it
- 5:09Speaker 1: was garbage, and the government shit the bed, they'll fight
- 5:12Speaker 1: it to the very end. While at the same time
- 5:15Speaker 1: telling you, oh, we're looking for justice for these survivors. Yeah, right.
- 5:22Speaker 1: In the filing, federal prosecutors did concede that the U.S.
- 5:26Speaker 1: Attorney's Office in South Florida failed to treat Epstein's survivors,
- 5:30Speaker 1: most of whom were 13 to 16 years old, when
- 5:33Speaker 1: they were abused fairly. But they said the law gives
- 5:36Speaker 1: prosecutors discretion in deciding how to dispose of a case.
- 5:41Speaker 1: Survivors have a right to confer with prosecutors, but no
- 5:44Speaker 1: rights beyond that. So basically, let's just re-victimize these people.
- 5:50Speaker 1: And let's make it so nobody wants to come forward
- 5:53Speaker 1: ever again because there's no justice. Oh, so I come
- 5:56Speaker 1: forward and then what happens? These people are protected by
- 5:59Speaker 1: their non-prosecution agreement. Then they can hire their private investigators
- 6:03Speaker 1: to come bother me again like they did to all
- 6:05Speaker 1: of the people involved. Let me be very clear with you.
- 6:09Speaker 1: If I walk out of my home and anyone's rummaging
- 6:12Speaker 1: through my trash, we're going to have a big problem.
- 6:15Speaker 1: If I'm sitting in the street and somebody's following me
- 6:18Speaker 1: around and you don't have a badge, once again, we're
- 6:21Speaker 1: going to have a big problem. These people have gotten
- 6:26Speaker 1: way too comfortable thinking that they can bully people. They
- 6:29Speaker 1: have gotten way too comfortable thinking that when they walk
- 6:32Speaker 1: in the room, they're the only ones with big dick energy.
- 6:35Speaker 1: But the reality is people have had enough. And just normal, average,
- 6:39Speaker 1: everyday folks like you are the backbone of that. And
- 6:45Speaker 1: if they think that we're going to stop demanding justice
- 6:49Speaker 1: here or for other victims of violent crimes, they are
- 6:52Speaker 1: sorely mistaken. PAC also warned the judge overseeing the case,
- 6:58Speaker 1: Kenneth Mara, against taking action to overrule Acosta's original decision
- 7:03Speaker 1: not to prosecute Epstein. So, who is this Byung-Pak guy?
- 7:08Speaker 1: And why is he out here trying to defend Jeffrey Epstein?
- 7:12Speaker 1: Pretty interesting, right? Wasn't that one of Bill Barr's guys? Oh,
- 7:15Speaker 1: it was, wasn't it? Good old Darth Barr. One of
- 7:18Speaker 1: the most unreliable, untrustworthy people to ever... Plant their lazy,
- 7:25Speaker 1: do-nothing asses in Washington, D.C. Courts are not to interfere
- 7:31Speaker 1: with the free exercise of the discretionary powers of the
- 7:34Speaker 1: United States attorneys in their control over criminal prosecutions, Pak said.
- 7:39Speaker 1: The decision whether to prosecute Epstein lies solely within the
- 7:43Speaker 1: executive branch, and any order today by this court as
- 7:47Speaker 1: to what the government must do in the future would
- 7:49Speaker 1: be wholly inappropriate. So that just gives you a little
- 7:52Speaker 1: bit of an idea of how the Justice Department has
- 7:55Speaker 1: felt about Epstein and these survivors throughout time. And it
- 7:59Speaker 1: doesn't matter who the president is. Every single one of
- 8:01Speaker 1: these attorney generals has been an impediment for justice going
- 8:05Speaker 1: all the way back to Clinton. We're talking since Clinton,
- 8:08Speaker 1: that's how many presidents... Jeffrey Epstein has been active under.
- 8:12Speaker 1: And how many attorney generals stepped up and did something
- 8:14Speaker 1: about it? So I don't want to hear anything about how,
- 8:17Speaker 1: you know, Bill Barr was appointed by Donald Trump to
- 8:20Speaker 1: get rid of human trafficking. That's a bunch of bullshit.
- 8:24Speaker 1: Meet the new boss, same as the old boss, over
- 8:27Speaker 1: and over again, on repeat. The Herald did note, however,
- 8:32Speaker 1: that Pax said Epstein's survivors would be given the chance
- 8:35Speaker 1: to meet with prosecutors in private and, if they desired,
- 8:39Speaker 1: to be heard at a public hearing. He also said
- 8:41Speaker 1: he would agree to give federal prosecutors additional training on
- 8:44Speaker 1: dealing with survivors of crimes of this nature, basically just,
- 8:49Speaker 1: you know, shoving it under the rug. And this is
- 8:52Speaker 1: why I've been so critical of the Department of Justice,
- 8:56Speaker 1: of the FBI, and their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein
- 8:58Speaker 1: criminal enterprise. And for all the people out there that
- 9:01Speaker 1: want to continuously play politics about this, folks, I hate
- 9:05Speaker 1: to tell you, how much more evidence do you need
- 9:07Speaker 1: to see that it's both sides of the aisle here
- 9:09Speaker 1: that have, you know, chips in the game? They don't
- 9:12Speaker 1: want this to be out there. They don't want the
- 9:16Speaker 1: whole entire scope of what Epstein was up to to
- 9:19Speaker 1: be released to the public because it's going to be
- 9:21Speaker 1: damning for all of these people. As previously reported by
- 9:27Speaker 1: Law and Crime, the controversy surrounding Epstein's plea deal dates
- 9:31Speaker 1: back to 2007, when federal prosecutors in Florida, under the
- 9:35Speaker 1: leadership of current U.S. Secretary of Labor, Alexander Acosta, who
- 9:39Speaker 1: was then the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida,
- 9:43Speaker 1: Acosta's prosecutors quietly entered to a secretive non-prosecution agreement with
- 9:48Speaker 1: the billionaire pedophile, which ensured that Epstein and his co-conspirators
- 9:53Speaker 1: would not be prosecuted federally in exchange for Epstein's guilty
- 9:57Speaker 1: plea to much less serious state prosecutions. charges. Epstein served
- 10:03Speaker 1: only 13 months in a county jail and the prostitution
- 10:07Speaker 1: charges were made up. You see, folks, you can't have
- 10:12Speaker 1: a prostitute who's underage, right? So how do you have
- 10:15Speaker 1: prostitution charges at all? It was child molestation, child grooming,
- 10:20Speaker 1: and child trafficking, point blank, period. Additionally, Acosta's deal ensured
- 10:26Speaker 1: that Epstein's co-conspirators were all shielded from prosecution under what
- 10:30Speaker 1: is now viewed as an extraordinarily unprecedented agreement and was
- 10:34Speaker 1: followed by the FBI's ongoing probe being shut down. So
- 10:38Speaker 1: the probe was shut down too, by the way. Imagine
- 10:41Speaker 1: you're one of these FBI agents who's working on this.
- 10:44Speaker 1: And some jerk-off suit bureaucrat walks in and says, well,
- 10:47Speaker 1: that's a wrap, boys. Shut it all down. And again,
- 10:52Speaker 1: that's why my criticism is mainly directed at the bureaucrats
- 10:55Speaker 1: of the FBI. Folks, please don't get that confused. The
- 10:58Speaker 1: rank-and-file agents that are out there doing their job, I
- 11:01Speaker 1: don't have any beef with them. People are out there
- 11:03Speaker 1: doing their job. I get it. My problem is with
- 11:06Speaker 1: the bureaucrats out here playing games. They'll act like they
- 11:11Speaker 1: don't give a damn about what's going on here, but
- 11:13Speaker 1: God forbid you get on the wrong side of them politically,
- 11:17Speaker 1: and they're going to come after you full bore. Jack Scarola,
- 11:23Speaker 1: a former prosecutor representing one of Epstein's survivors, told the
- 11:26Speaker 1: Herald that a prosecutor's discretion in granting plea deals while
- 11:29Speaker 1: broad is far from unlimited. He specifically noted that a
- 11:33Speaker 1: defendant's victims have the right to appeal a plea deal
- 11:36Speaker 1: at sentencing. This was not the case here, as Epstein
- 11:40Speaker 1: and Acosta's office reached their plea deal without conferring with
- 11:43Speaker 1: any of Epstein's survivors. And then you wonder why people
- 11:47Speaker 1: again are saying this deal was corrupt. The whole thing
- 11:49Speaker 1: is garbage. It's all gross. Well, this is why. And
- 11:53Speaker 1: that's why we're going back and going over some of
- 11:55Speaker 1: these articles and laying the groundwork again. You know, that
- 11:58Speaker 1: stupid ass article from NPR talking about conspiracy theories when
- 12:02Speaker 1: they should be digging into what went on here really
- 12:05Speaker 1: launched me into orbit and sent your boy on basically
- 12:08Speaker 1: a crusade where we're going to go back and cover
- 12:11Speaker 1: all of this again for all of the new listeners,
- 12:14Speaker 1: all of the people who might not have heard it
- 12:15Speaker 1: the first time around and with a fresh eye. Because
- 12:19Speaker 1: if there's anything that's absurd here, if there's anything that's disgusting,
- 12:24Speaker 1: it's this sweetheart deal. Courts reject plea deals when they
- 12:31Speaker 1: find them to be unjustifiable and unreasonable, especially if they
- 12:35Speaker 1: are not told the full scope of the agreement, Scarola said.
- 12:38Speaker 1: He also said separately that Congress did not contemplate the
- 12:42Speaker 1: extraordinary circumstances of this conspiracy between the government and a
- 12:46Speaker 1: serial child molester. I disagree with that. I'm sure they did.
- 12:49Speaker 1: And they don't care. Point blank. How many times has
- 12:53Speaker 1: the government hopped into bed with some disgusting animal? Scarola
- 13:00Speaker 1: previously predicted the Epstein deal would be revoked. Pak, who
- 13:05Speaker 1: took over Epstein's case in March, was joined in submitting
- 13:08Speaker 1: Monday's brief by U.S. Attorney Jill E. Steinberg and Nathan P. Kitchens.
- 13:13Speaker 1: Once again, folks, you see what's going on here. You
- 13:16Speaker 1: see that this is absurd and you see why people
- 13:18Speaker 1: are fired up about it. Yet we have no answers.
- 13:21Speaker 1: We don't have any allies in Congress. Do we have
- 13:25Speaker 1: any allies in Congress or the Senate that want justice here?
- 13:28Speaker 1: We sure do not. Nobody calling for hearings. Nobody calling
- 13:32Speaker 1: for subpoenas. Nobody getting their phone record seized. Not a
- 13:37Speaker 1: damn thing. And the band just plays on. So it's
- 13:41Speaker 1: left to us to continue to demand justice. And the
- 13:45Speaker 1: best way to do that, the best way to get
- 13:47Speaker 1: people to act when they're being inactive is to embarrass them.
- 13:51Speaker 1: So that's what we'll continue to do. We'll shine a
- 13:53Speaker 1: spotlight on the piss-poor job done by the Department of
- 13:56Speaker 1: Justice until they get off their do-nothing asses and get
- 14:00Speaker 1: some justice. All right, folks, that's going to do it
