Judge Berman Unseals Epstein Related Grand Jury Documents In New York (5/27/26) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:02
  Epstein Chronicles. So, the third and final judge has cleared
• 0:08
  the way for the third and final badge of grand
• 0:10
  jury material to be released to the public. And Judge
• 0:13
  Berman's decision follows the decisions made by the two previous
• 0:17
  judges who also decided, in light of the Transparency Act
• 0:22
  passing to go against the norm and actually release these
• 0:26
  grand jury files. Now, as we've talked about previously, these
• 0:30
  files aren't usually released, and it has to be some
• 0:33
  kind of extraordinary situation for a court to even think
• 0:37
  about releasing grand jury documents. But it just so happens
• 0:40
  that this Epstein situation ticks all the boxes. And then
• 0:45
  when you have the law that has been passed by
• 0:47
  Congress and the Senate and signed by the President, it's
• 0:50
  very difficult for a court to say, you know what,
• 0:52
  we're going to keep these documents hidden and not release
• 0:56
  them to the public as the law demands. That's not
• 0:59
  really the judge's decision, right The judge has to do
• 1:03
  what the law says. The judge is there to interpret
• 1:05
  the law. He's not there or she's not there to
• 1:08
  rewrite it or to disregard it when they feel like it.
• 1:11
  So once that Transparency Act became law, everything changed, And
• 1:16
  I have to tell you, it really looks like the
• 1:18
  courts are trying to pull an end around on the administration.
• 1:21
  Because the administration was hoping that this was all going
• 1:24
  to get comed up. That's why they were so against
• 1:27
  the whole entire discharge petition in the first place, because
• 1:30
  they wanted to slow walk this. The faster this comes out,
• 1:34
  the more damaging it's going to be. So they wanted
• 1:37
  to continue to sanitize it and pick and choose what
• 1:40
  they were going to release to the public. But now
• 1:43
  the whole entire landscape is shifted dramatically and their plan
• 1:46
  to slow walk this shit is not going to go
• 1:48
  over so well now. But don't think for a minute
• 1:50
  that they don't have some tricks up their sleeves. They
• 1:52
  most certainly do, and one of those tricks is to
• 1:55
  redact the shit out of these documents. And I have
• 1:58
  a funny feeling that's what's going to happen. We're going
• 2:01
  to get these gigantic blocks of black on these documents,
• 2:06
  and nobody's going to know what it means or why
• 2:08
  it's being redacted or what purpose it serves, And that
• 2:13
  is the one thing that they have going for them
• 2:14
  as far as the DOJ. They can do that and
• 2:17
  they don't have to tell us why. Oh there's an
• 2:20
  ongoing investigation. Yeah, okay, sure, And who's leading that investigation?
• 2:24
  Alina Haba? Oh wait, didn't you just have to resign?
• 2:28
  So who's it going to be one of your other
• 2:29
  hand picked idiots? Because let's be very clear, the people
• 2:33
  that we're talking about, at least when it comes to
• 2:35
  this case, that's what they are. A bunch of idiots
• 2:38
  from Todd Blanche down. I have zero respect for this DOJ.
• 2:41
  Not that I have much respect for the DOJ in general,
• 2:44
  but certainly no respect for this DOJ and the way
• 2:47
  it's being managed. I mean from the top down, it's garbage.
• 2:50
  Pambondi cash, Betel dan Qutt. Time is over, Bongino. These
• 2:55
  are the people that are going to give us comfort
• 2:58
  when we close our eyes at night, going to go
• 3:00
  after the biggest criminals, the most dangerous people in the country,
• 3:03
  in the world. Oh, I'm sure we're all going to
• 3:05
  get a RESTful night of sleep now, but don't worry,
• 3:08
  We're all going to get to see cash Betel in Valhalla.
• 3:11
  Today's article is from Fox News and the headline DOJ
• 3:15
  cleared to release secret Jeffrey Epstein case grand jury material.
• 3:19
  This article was authored by Andrea Hagstrom. A federal judge
• 3:25
  is cleared the Justice Department to release secret grand jury
• 3:27
  transcripts from Jeffrey Epstein's twenty nineteen sex trafficking case. On Wednesday,
• 3:34
  US District Judge Richard Berman reversed his earlier decision to
• 3:37
  keep the transcripts under wraps, citing congress recent action on
• 3:41
  the Epstein files. Berman had previously warned that the contents
• 3:45
  of the roughly seventy pages of grand jury materials contains
• 3:48
  little new information. And that's going to be the case.
• 3:52
  Like I've told you from the beginning, don't look at
• 3:55
  this as groundbreaking. Look at it as receipts. All this
• 3:59
  stuff we've talked about go back. You could track it
• 4:02
  and look at what receipts line up. And I think
• 4:04
  that's going to be one of the most beneficial situations
• 4:07
  that arises from us getting these documents unsealed. But what
• 4:11
  I think is going to be the most important and
• 4:13
  the thing we should all be looking at is how
• 4:16
  narrow the scope was of the investigation itself, and then
• 4:19
  ask ourselves why was the investigation so narrowly tailored from
• 4:23
  the very beginning, because it's obviously something that's much more sprawling. Right,
• 4:27
  we all know that we've seen the documents, we've seen
• 4:29
  the paperwork, we've seen the dumps. So why was the
• 4:32
  prosecution so narrowly tailored? And why wasn't anyone else prosecuted?
• 4:36
  And I think that if we follow along with the
• 4:39
  paperwork from the grand jury, maybe we'll be able to
• 4:41
  see what kind of omissions there were, and we'll be
• 4:44
  able to get a sense of why that investigation was
• 4:47
  so narrowly tailored in the first place, because there's no
• 4:50
  good explanation for that. With as much evidence as was available,
• 4:55
  with as many people that were involved, with as many
• 4:58
  times as people that were considered co conspirators were named
• 5:01
  in court, How can you sit there and tell me
• 5:04
  nobody else was involved? How can you act like this
• 5:07
  is something that should just be so narrow that it's
• 5:10
  only going after Maxwell or only going after Epstein. What
• 5:14
  it looks like is you're trying to mitigate the damage.
• 5:17
  And hopefully when we get a look at these grand
• 5:19
  jury documents. It'll give us a little bit more of
• 5:22
  a clue about their thinking. The move comes just one
• 5:26
  day after Paul Engelmeyer granted the DOJ's motion to unseal
• 5:30
  separate grand jury transcripts and exhibits in Glenn Maxwell's criminal case.
• 5:35
  Last week, Judge Rodney Smith also moved to allow the
• 5:38
  DOJ to release transcripts from an abandoned federal grand jury
• 5:42
  probe from the two thousands. And we're gonna get like interviews,
• 5:46
  we're gonna get like police reports, and we'll have some
• 5:48
  witnesses probably that are marked down in that paperwork. Now
• 5:52
  the names are going to be redacted, but it's going
• 5:54
  to give you a bit of an idea as to
• 5:57
  just how narrow it was. And I think that's one
• 5:59
  of the biggest problems that needs to be pointed out.
• 6:02
  And it's all by design, by the way. The whole
• 6:05
  point was for them to say, look, we only went
• 6:07
  after these couple of people. There wasn't a gigantic, sprawling
• 6:11
  criminal enterprise. Because if they did that, then the whole
• 6:15
  entire thing would be up. Right, the jig is up.
• 6:18
  The whole ass house of cards has come tumbling down.
• 6:22
  Because then people understand that there was a lot more
• 6:24
  going on under the surface, and there were other people involved,
• 6:28
  and that is the one thing they have to avoid,
• 6:30
  and that's why they've been fighting tooth andel the way
• 6:32
  they have been, and that's why Donald Trump has been
• 6:34
  willing to go absolutely scorched earth on his own people
• 6:39
  over this topic. Maxwell, who was convicted of sex trafficking
• 6:42
  charges in December of twenty twenty one, is currently serving
• 6:45
  a twenty year prison sentence. Her attorney said she took
• 6:48
  no position on the requested unsealing of records, but noted
• 6:52
  that the release could harm Maxwell's plan to file a
• 6:55
  habeas corpus petition. According to the Associated Press, who cares,
• 7:00
  I mean at this point, who really cares about Glain
• 7:02
  Maxwell and her dumb ass request. Every single court in
• 7:06
  the land, including the Supreme Court, has told her to
• 7:09
  kick rocks. Do you know why? Because all it takes
• 7:11
  is a clerk to take a look at the paperwork
• 7:13
  once and the clerk knows that it's bullshit. So the
• 7:17
  clerk goes to the judge and says, look, we don't
• 7:19
  even need to see this case. This is garbage. So
• 7:21
  there was no way she was ever getting this in
• 7:23
  front of the Supreme Court. Now she's had her appeals
• 7:27
  two different courts. She had the trial with Judge Nathan
• 7:31
  and every single judge has come to the same conclusion
• 7:34
  that Glaine Maxwell is a bipedal serpent and a child abuser.
• 7:39
  So make sure you mark that down in your Habeas
• 7:42
  Corpus request. The Epstein Files Transparency Act requires the DOJ
• 7:48
  to publish in a searchable and downloadable format all classified records, documents, communications,
• 7:54
  and investigative materials in the DOJ's possession that relate to
• 7:58
  the investigation and acution of Jeffrey Epstein. And one of
• 8:02
  the things that I'm really looking forward to, but I
• 8:05
  doubt we're going to get a real look at are
• 8:06
  the three to two proffers. Boy oh boy, those are
• 8:09
  witness statements, people that have been flipped, people that are
• 8:12
  working with a government, very very very sensitive information. But
• 8:18
  I think they're going to frame it as private, right, secretive. Oh,
• 8:21
  we have an ongoing investigation. We can't divulge our sources.
• 8:25
  But the truth is those three twos will really tell
• 8:28
  a story, especially about who has never even spoken to
• 8:33
  Can anyone sit here and tell me with a straight face,
• 8:35
  that Les Wexner never should have been interviewed, or that
• 8:38
  Leon Black shouldn't have been dragged in, or that Indike
• 8:40
  and Khan shouldn't have been dragged in, or Sarah Kelln
• 8:43
  Vickers or Adrianna Ross or Leslie Groff. I mean, come on.
• 8:48
  The Act was passed in November and paves the way
• 8:50
  for the public to have more insight into the infamous
• 8:53
  cases against the late disgraced financier. The law places a
• 8:57
  deadline for releasing files on December nineteenth, which happens to
• 9:02
  be eight days from the time of this recording. Now again,
• 9:07
  I have my doubts about what we're going to get
• 9:09
  on the nineteenth, but that's when the deadline kicks in.
• 9:12
  So let's see what the DOJ comes with. But if
• 9:15
  history is any guide, we're all going to be sorely disappointed.
• 9:19
  The DOJ is reportedly working with survivors and their attorneys
• 9:23
  to redact records to protect survivor's identities and prevent the
• 9:26
  dissemination of sexualized images. According to the AP, well, I
• 9:31
  don't think anybody wants that. I certainly don't care about
• 9:34
  any of the sexualized images. I want the paper trail
• 9:38
  I want the bank records. I want the three to
• 9:40
  Z twos. I want to know who was talking to
• 9:43
  who when. I want to know where the money was going.
• 9:45
  I want to know who was accepting the money. I
• 9:47
  want to know who was in business with this dude.
• 9:49
  I want to know who was accepting a dough politically,
• 9:51
  all of it. And look, the only way we can
• 9:53
  get true transparency is if we get that kind of documentation.
• 9:58
  They can dogwalk us all they want, they can tell
• 10:00
  us this or that or the other thing, but that
• 10:03
  paperwork doesn't lie. And if it says money was moved
• 10:06
  from here to here, money was moved from here to here,
• 10:09
  And now I want to know why that money was moved.
• 10:11
  And furthermore, was that money gained from a criminal enterprise?
• 10:16
  And if so, those are ill gotten gains. So if
• 10:19
  you're moving them to anybody else, that person is now
• 10:21
  part of the investigation. They're part of the RICO. And
• 10:24
  I think that will be our best blueprint to find
• 10:27
  out what really happened here without any spin, without any bullshit,
• 10:31
  and without any nonsense. And that's why I have a
• 10:33
  hard time believing that we're gonna get all of the
• 10:36
  stuff that we want but as far as these grand
• 10:38
  jury documents go, the DOJ really has no leg to
• 10:41
  stand on. They're gonna have to just acquiesce with whatever
• 10:45
  the court has to say now about these grand jury documents,
• 10:48
  and they're gonna have to live with their request because remember,
• 10:51
  the DOJ didn't even want this to come out. Oh,
• 10:54
  they put the request in, but it was about coming
• 10:56
  up the works, wasn't about true transparency. If that was
• 10:59
  the case, they could release everything in their possession right now.
• 11:02
  And to use a football analogy, they were trying to
• 11:05
  run out the clock. But when they handed the ball
• 11:07
  off from the center to the quarterback so we could
• 11:09
  take a knee, they fumbled. And now that fumble has
• 11:14
  been recovered by the other side, and the other side
• 11:16
  is the public. And now that we recovered this fumble,
• 11:19
  the question is what are we gonna do with it.
