Latest / The Vault: The Epstein Files / Epstein Survivors Accuse Todd Blanche Of Dismissing Calls For New Investigations (7/21/26)
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
- 0:03Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. According to multiple survivors who met with Todd Blanche,
- 0:08Speaker 1: he's as much of an incompetent idiot as we thought.
- 0:12Speaker 1: And according to Jess Michaels, an Epstein survivor, Blanche dismissed
- 0:17Speaker 1: their calls for further investigations. And that's because Todd Blanche
- 0:21Speaker 1: continues to work for the administration and the Epstein class
- 0:25Speaker 1: and not the American people. How much more evidence do
- 0:28Speaker 1: you need to see? And the fact that this dude's
- 0:30Speaker 1: going to get confirmed is just unbelievably disgusting. And for
- 0:34Speaker 1: all the people cheering about it, just wait until the
- 0:36Speaker 1: next administration when they have an attorney general that you
- 0:40Speaker 1: don't like, one from the other side of the aisle,
- 0:43Speaker 1: and wait until he does the same shit that Todd
- 0:46Speaker 1: Blanche is doing. And folks, I've been keeping receipts, So
- 0:50Speaker 1: all the people that have been silent here, all the
- 0:52Speaker 1: people that have been supporting Todd Blanche, I'll be showing
- 0:55Speaker 1: up with them receipts during the next administration. And we'll
- 0:59Speaker 1: see how that narrative holds up. Because the vast majority
- 1:02Speaker 1: of these people out here supporting Blanche would literally support
- 1:05Speaker 1: anybody that Donald Trump put up there, qualified or unqualified.
- 1:12Speaker 1: Today's article is from the International Business Times and the
- 1:15Speaker 1: headline Epstein's survivor accuses Trump's ag Todd Blanche of dismissing
- 1:20Speaker 1: calls for further Epstein investigation. This article was authored by
- 1:25Speaker 1: THEA Felicity and Epstein's survivor has accused acting you as
- 1:31Speaker 1: Attorney General, Todd Blanche of dismissing victim's appeals for further
- 1:35Speaker 1: investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's crimes, saying she and other survivors
- 1:39Speaker 1: were gas lit during a meeting held last week. And
- 1:43Speaker 1: I've heard the same exact thing from people that are
- 1:47Speaker 1: hip to what went on in that meeting. Same stuff, dismissive, gaslighting,
- 1:52Speaker 1: not caring, just going through the motions, right. Senator Tillis
- 1:57Speaker 1: told them, look, you have to meet with them or
- 1:59Speaker 1: I'm not going to confirm you. So, of course Todd
- 2:01Speaker 1: Blanche automatically now he wants to meet. He should have
- 2:05Speaker 1: done that on his own, and so should of Trump.
- 2:08Speaker 1: Even if you don't believe the vast majority of what happened,
- 2:12Speaker 1: Trump's own Justice Department says a thousand women were harmed.
- 2:16Speaker 1: Are we just going to ignore that? Are we just
- 2:19Speaker 1: going to make pretend that didn't happen so that we
- 2:21Speaker 1: can continue to pursue whatever political bullshit we want to pursue. Well,
- 2:27Speaker 1: not here, not on this podcast. Jess Michaels made the
- 2:32Speaker 1: allegation during an interview on Saturday, claiming Blanche repeatedly insisted
- 2:36Speaker 1: that nothing contained in the Justice Department's Epstein files could
- 2:40Speaker 1: justify reopening or expanding investigations. Blanche has not publicly responded
- 2:45Speaker 1: to Michael's latest comments. He's such a coward. Everything about
- 2:50Speaker 1: Todd Blanche screams coward, no moral backbone, and no desire
- 2:55Speaker 1: to represent the American people. He is there as Trump's
- 2:58Speaker 1: representative and more, nothing less. The meeting took place as
- 3:03Speaker 1: Blanche seeks Senate confirmation to become Attorney General on a
- 3:06Speaker 1: permanent basis under President Donald Trump. It also followed months
- 3:11Speaker 1: of criticism over the Justice Department's handling of records linked
- 3:14Speaker 1: to the Epstein investigation. After the Department released millions of
- 3:18Speaker 1: pages of documents earlier this year, Several survivors have since
- 3:23Speaker 1: argued that the publication process failed to adequately protect victims
- 3:27Speaker 1: while raising questions about whether additional leads were left unexplored.
- 3:32Speaker 1: They most certainly were, and anybody who says different just
- 3:36Speaker 1: doesn't know the case. Either that or they have other
- 3:39Speaker 1: motivations that are much more nefarious. Look, it's one thing
- 3:43Speaker 1: to be skeptical, it's one thing to be critical. It's
- 3:46Speaker 1: another thing to ignore all the evidence that's been provided
- 3:49Speaker 1: because it's politically damning. Michaels described the meeting as frustrating,
- 3:57Speaker 1: saying survivors repeatedly attempted to draw attention to information they
- 4:01Speaker 1: believe deserved further examination. It felt like we were hitting
- 4:05Speaker 1: a brick wall when we were trying to talk with
- 4:07Speaker 1: him about but what about this? But why can't you
- 4:10Speaker 1: look at that? She said, Well, it's all because the
- 4:13Speaker 1: NPA that needs to go. And I hope that more
- 4:16Speaker 1: people start talking about how crucial it is that we
- 4:19Speaker 1: get rid of the NPA, and the DOJ can do
- 4:22Speaker 1: that tomorrow if they want. Remember, Jeffrey Epstein was in
- 4:25Speaker 1: violation of his probation, so therefore he was in violation
- 4:29Speaker 1: of the NPA. Up until now, nobody even wants to
- 4:34Speaker 1: talk about it, though. I think it's one of the
- 4:37Speaker 1: most effective ways to get to the bottom of all
- 4:39Speaker 1: of this, so of course they have no desire to
- 4:43Speaker 1: do so. You know, we were giving him information that
- 4:47Speaker 1: he could have talked with us about, but we were
- 4:49Speaker 1: gas lit, we were skipped over. It was frustrating, to
- 4:52Speaker 1: say the least. I can't even imagine if this was
- 4:56Speaker 1: my daughter or my wife, my sister. Bro, you think
- 5:00Speaker 1: I got a big mouth? Now, I would set up
- 5:02Speaker 1: shop in front of the Department of Justice and demand justice.
- 5:06Speaker 1: That's what I would do. Remember that Occupy Wall Street shit,
- 5:11Speaker 1: that would be me, occupy the DOJ. Enough is enough
- 5:18Speaker 1: And if the highest lawman in the land doesn't give
- 5:21Speaker 1: a fuck about this, how are we ever going to
- 5:23Speaker 1: get justice? Well, unfortunately, folks were not. At least that's
- 5:28Speaker 1: the plan. The question is are you going to fall
- 5:32Speaker 1: in line and give them what they want? And that,
- 5:34Speaker 1: of course is for you to move on or do
- 5:36Speaker 1: you plan on telling them f you, I'm not moving
- 5:39Speaker 1: on from anything. And if you're listening to this podcast,
- 5:43Speaker 1: I'm guessing that's the path you have chosen. And at
- 5:46Speaker 1: this point there's no more. Oh, I didn't know. Oh
- 5:50Speaker 1: the information wasn't available. Because the information is available and
- 5:54Speaker 1: it's right here for everybody. To see. According to Michael's Bland,
- 6:00Speaker 1: who maintained throughout the discussion that material contained in the
- 6:03Speaker 1: Justice Department files relating to Epstein would not lead to
- 6:06Speaker 1: further investigations, not even into the FBI or the DOJ
- 6:11Speaker 1: or the handling of it all. I wonder why now,
- 6:15Speaker 1: Remember that's what the EFTA calls for. But unfortunately the
- 6:18Speaker 1: DOJ has no desire to be in compliance with the law.
- 6:22Speaker 1: They're just going to do whatever they want. She also
- 6:25Speaker 1: questioned blanche reason for agreeing to the meeting, suggesting he
- 6:28Speaker 1: did so because he's seeking confirmation as Attorney General. Yeah. Look,
- 6:32Speaker 1: these survivors, they're not dumb. They see what's going on,
- 6:37Speaker 1: and they understand that Blanche doesn't give a shit about them.
- 6:40Speaker 1: Michaels claim that Blanche had initially told lawmakers he cannot
- 6:44Speaker 1: legally meet Epstein's survivors, and alleged that the meeting was
- 6:46Speaker 1: first delegated to one of his assistants before he personally
- 6:50Speaker 1: met with victims last Thursday. Not allegedly, he said that
- 6:53Speaker 1: an open court right in the Congress, Oh, I can't
- 6:57Speaker 1: meet with them on the sitting attorney general. What does
- 6:59Speaker 1: that mean? Sure didn't stop Bill Barr going to talk
- 7:03Speaker 1: to Stone rayis did it? I mean, I think his
- 7:08Speaker 1: attempt at empathy and compassion really came off as patronizing
- 7:12Speaker 1: and condescending. Michael said, So, I did not feel that
- 7:15Speaker 1: he was a public servant. They're addressing crime victims that
- 7:18Speaker 1: I experienced horrific abuse. Now imagine any man out there
- 7:23Speaker 1: walking into that meeting and not being ready to go
- 7:26Speaker 1: to war for the people that were harmed, Like, it's
- 7:29Speaker 1: so like unconscionable to me, Like, how the fuck do
- 7:32Speaker 1: you sleep at night. Appearing on another interview on Friday,
- 7:36Speaker 1: Michael said she left the meeting disappointed, disturbed, and undaunted.
- 7:40Speaker 1: Well that's good because I'm undaunted either. Now we might
- 7:44Speaker 1: have some other conversations going on about, you know, Tyler Robinson,
- 7:47Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk, alec MRDA. But make no mistake, until we
- 7:51Speaker 1: have some kind of justice here, until we have answers,
- 7:55Speaker 1: We're not going anywhere. The meeting came after sustained criticism
- 8:00Speaker 1: of the Justice Department's handling of records connected to the
- 8:03Speaker 1: Epstein investigation. Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the Department
- 8:08Speaker 1: published what had described as the final tranch of Epstein
- 8:11Speaker 1: related files in January, adding around three million documents to
- 8:15Speaker 1: a public database with redactions intended to protect survivor's identities.
- 8:21Speaker 1: Though released, nevertheless attracted criticism over delays and the way
- 8:26Speaker 1: some documents were redacted. Well, come on, they had an
- 8:28Speaker 1: army of lawyers, don't you know. But it's funny all
- 8:33Speaker 1: their redactions, all the mistakes. Somehow they only revealed survivor information,
- 8:38Speaker 1: not the information of the people that are being protected
- 8:41Speaker 1: by the administration. I know, just another coincidence, right right.
- 8:47Speaker 1: Several Epstein survivors later alleged that the Department had failed
- 8:51Speaker 1: to properly redact parts of its online Epstein archive, raising
- 8:55Speaker 1: concerns that victim's privacy had not been sufficiently safeguarded. Blanche
- 9:00Speaker 1: agreed to meet survivors after pressure from Republican Senator Tom
- 9:04Speaker 1: Tillis of North Carolina, whose vote is considered significant to
- 9:08Speaker 1: blanch confirmation prospects. Tillis described the meeting as a very
- 9:12Speaker 1: important part of getting to yes on Blanche's nomination. I
- 9:16Speaker 1: would urge Senator Tillis to reevaluate, take a step back,
- 9:22Speaker 1: listen to what the survivors are saying, and then give
- 9:25Speaker 1: us that no vote Earlier this week, Blanche acknowledged before
- 9:30Speaker 1: the House Judiciary Committee that there were mistakes made during
- 9:33Speaker 1: the publication of the documents. He told lawmakers that the
- 9:37Speaker 1: Justice Department acted quickly or correct any redaction error once
- 9:40Speaker 1: they were identified. Survivors continue to urge Senators to reject
- 9:44Speaker 1: Blanche's nomination, arguing the Department's handling of the Epstein files
- 9:49Speaker 1: has undermined confidence among victims seeking accountability. Michael's criticism reflects
- 9:55Speaker 1: those concerns. Although blanche Is maintained that the Department addressed
- 9:59Speaker 1: issues sur found the document release, and according to Michael's
- 10:02Speaker 1: account of their meeting, does not believe the existing files
- 10:06Speaker 1: provide grounds for additional investigations. That makes them wholly unqualified
- 10:11Speaker 1: right there, Okay, the fact that he doesn't believe that
- 10:14Speaker 1: more investigation needs to happen disqualifies him. I think what
- 10:21Speaker 1: he means is I don't want more investigations to happen
- 10:24Speaker 1: because it might lead to our cover up and the
- 10:26Speaker 1: crucial role that I'm playing. I think that's what he
- 10:29Speaker 1: really means when he says he doesn't want to investigate
- 10:31Speaker 1: any further. And now here comes the big test for Congress.
- 10:35Speaker 1: Are they going to let Blanche and the DOJ get
- 10:38Speaker 1: away with this or are they going to force the
- 10:40Speaker 1: issue and make sure that the DOJ is in compliance
- 10:44Speaker 1: with the law. What do you folks think? Shoot me
- 10:47Speaker 1: some emails and let me know. All the information that
- 10:51Speaker 1: goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
