Mega Edition: Why Did The FBI Ignore Jeffrey Epstein's Criminal Empire? (5/5/26) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

0:00
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. Oh so you want
0:04
to talk about more corruption at the FBI when it
0:07
comes to Jeffrey Epstein, Well, I got you covered, because
0:10
that's what we're going to do again on this episode.
0:14
The fact that this man was protected for so long
0:17
by who knows who? All right, I won't speculate, but
0:21
who knows who. Somebody was protecting him and the fact
0:24
that he was able to do what he was able
0:26
to do for so long proves that point. There's a
0:30
lot of people out there that will try and act
0:32
like Epstein wasn't some sort of informant for the government,
0:35
and I find that laughable at best. And if you
0:39
have information or evidence that can prove that, I'd love
0:43
to see it. But there is evidence to the contrary
0:47
that Jeffrey Epstein certainly was at the very least an
0:50
informant for the federal government, the FBI, the CIA. Whoever,
0:56
how do you not go to jail for the Tower
0:58
Ponzi scheme? Do you not go to jail during Bears
1:01
and Sterns? How do you not go to jail from
1:03
molesting a bunch of little girls unless you're being protected
1:07
by some powerful ass people. And why do those people
1:11
protect you, Well, it's not because they're nice. It's not
1:13
because they decided one day that they're gonna be the
1:16
patron of Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein was giving them something back, right, compromant, blackmail, videotape, surveillance,
1:23
all of it, all of the stuff that the FBI
1:26
said they seized that we have no idea where it is. Now,
1:30
what was on those hard drives? What sort of video
1:33
information do they have? And they're sitting on anyone who
1:37
is in those videos at the very least should be
1:40
brought in and deposed, right, But for some reason that's
1:44
not the case. In fact, their work was so shoddy
1:47
that when the FBI first rated Jeffrey Epstein's house, they
1:51
didn't even take the hard drives with them. They left
1:53
them there. And then well, of course Richard Concomes takes
1:57
those hard drives, leaves with them for a few days,
1:59
and who knows what happens to them. Now. I'm not
2:02
saying he erased anything or but I don't know what
2:04
he did. Nobody does. That's why there's a chain of custody.
2:09
But it sure seems that the chain of custody is
2:12
never respected when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. So instead
2:16
of writing your pieces on conspiracy, why don't you dig
2:20
in deep and ask some of these government officials why
2:23
they flubbed the ball so bad for so many years
2:26
when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, and I don't want
2:29
to just hear about Acosta anymore. That's him, straight up bullshit.
2:33
Sure Acosta has his blame in this. He has no backbone.
2:36
He's a coward. He should have stood up to his
2:38
bosses and said, I will not take part in this deal.
2:41
He didn't do any of that. But if you think
2:43
Acosta made that decision on his own, I don't know
2:46
what to tell you, because that comes from on high folks.
2:49
That comes from Justice Department Central and Mukasey was the
2:55
man in charge at the time. You never hear his
2:57
name brought up, do you. Today? We have an article
3:01
from Coastal Network headline Jeffrey Epstein and corruption in the
3:07
FBI and US court system. This article was published November
3:12
fourth of twenty twenty. Jeffrey Epstein, a high profile individual
3:18
evaded serious charges in the US government. Jeffrey Epstein a hedge,
3:24
funge manager, pedophile with many high profile acquaintances, which was
3:28
charged with sex trafficking of miners last year after luring
3:31
young girls to his Palm Beach mansion for years. As
3:35
someone with seemingly unlimited power and influence, Epstein somehow evaded
3:39
serious charges from the government until twenty and nineteen, with
3:43
accusations dating back to the early two thousands. Now you
3:47
show me another person who has been able to so
3:50
deftly avoid the federal government for so long, with so
3:53
many charges hanging over their head. Bro John Gotty couldn't
3:57
do it right. John Gotti's dance was a rupted Paul Castelano.
4:02
We can go on and on of powerful mafioso who
4:05
was brought down by the federal government. But Jeffrey Epstein
4:08
has so much power, has so much reach, that he's
4:12
able to operate his disgusting business for all of these years.
4:17
The Epstein case brings the state of corruption in the
4:20
FBI and US justice system to light. Many questions have
4:24
arisen regarding how the case was handled by the FBI
4:27
and how the sweetheart deal was made. Epstein, who died
4:30
by a suspected suicide allegedly in twenty nineteen, was finally
4:35
charged by Florida prosecutors in two thousand and eight when
4:38
he pleaded guilty, they might as well have just gave
4:40
him a slap on the wrist. Right, Listen, folks, we
4:43
gave Jeffrey Epstein a good stern talking to, and he's
4:47
not gonna do what he did ever again. Meanwhile, he
4:50
continued to do it after his arrest, after his release,
4:53
and while he was out on work release. So please
4:58
save the bullshit for somebody that's buying it. I have
5:02
had my fill of the cover up here. Corruption in
5:08
the US system enabled Epstein to walk free free years.
5:12
Jeffrey Epstein's case depicts deep corruption in the US court system.
5:16
After being accused of trafficking and abusing young girls, Epstein
5:19
was merely given an eighteen month sentence a slap on
5:22
the wrist for such a heinous crime. Not only did
5:25
Epstein receive a lenient sentence of solicitation of prostitution as
5:29
part of the sweetheart deal, but he only served thirteen months,
5:33
during which he was free, much of the time on
5:36
work release. And while he was out on work release,
5:38
according to reports, he was abusing people. So while the
5:42
US government was supposed to be watching him, he was
5:45
abusing people. Now we see the lawsuit from the gymnasts
5:49
against the federal government and the FBI because of Larry Nasser.
5:54
I would love to see the same thing here because
5:57
the FBI, the government, they really flubbed it. They really
6:00
really flubbed it, and they shouldn't be given any quarter
6:04
when it comes to this situation. Alexandra Acosta, the US
6:10
Attorney in Miami at the time, is one of the
6:12
key figures who mishandled the Epstein case and granted the
6:15
sweetheart deal. Acosta's office broke the law by not disclosing
6:19
the deal to survivors. Oh, I thought the court said
6:22
something different. Oh, nobody broke the law here. It was improper,
6:26
but the law wasn't broken. You notice how the court
6:29
never holds its self responsible, although, hold you're responsible. You
6:33
out there with a dimebag of weed in one of
6:35
these repressive ass states, you're gonna go to jail. But
6:38
these dudes can lie and run operations where they're covering
6:41
for pedophiles and it's all good. He had the power
6:45
to lock Epstein away for life, yet allowed the sex
6:47
offender to roam free for another decade, and I agree
6:51
with that. He was part of the problem. But the
6:52
real problem for me goes all the way to the
6:54
top to the DOJ. A guy like Acosta isn't making
6:58
a decision like this in a vacuum. In the summer
7:03
of twenty nineteen, Epstein was arrested and charged with sex
7:06
trafficking by federal prosecutors. Acosta was not the only official
7:12
that seemed to be in Epstein's corner. The office of
7:15
the New York District Attorney Cyrus Vance argued that Epstein's
7:18
status as a sex offender can be reduced. How about
7:22
that good old Cyrus Vance from the New York Prosecutor's office.
7:26
You know the big mouths who run around and who
7:28
talk about how they're you know, these proper people, and
7:31
how everybody else is an insurrectionist or this or that
7:35
or the other thing. You know, all the divisive rhetoric
7:38
that they like to use. Meanwhile, it's convenient for them
7:42
to forget that Epstein was active right under their noses
7:45
for decades and these people didn't do shit about it.
7:49
So how about you answer for that, mister Cyrus Vance.
7:53
How about you answer for that all of you over
7:56
at the SDNY and at the New York Attorney's office.
8:02
Epstein's defenders, a Costa and Vance, are in the public
8:05
realm and should be held accountable for their leniency. At
8:08
least eighty teenagers, most between the ages of thirteen and
8:11
sixteen when abused, came forward with similar stories of being
8:15
lured to Epstein's mansion. Yet both Acosta and Vance chose
8:19
to ignore survivors and side with a predator simply because
8:23
he had money and the power of influence, and he
8:26
was being protected by some pretty powerful people. Acosta said
8:31
about intelligence himself, So who from intelligence was involved here?
8:35
Let's get Costa deposed, put them on the bench, Let's
8:38
see what's up. What intelligence agencies approached you. But we
8:42
can't even get that. And instead of people from NPR
8:46
these other outlets digging deeper into why things are being
8:49
hidden from the public, instead they try and attack people
8:53
in the public. Does that sound like the proper way
8:56
to go about it if you're looking for the truth
9:00
corruption in the prison system. On August tenth, twenty nineteen,
9:05
Epstein was found dead in as jail cell. The forensic
9:08
report showed the cause of death a suicide, though many
9:10
people are skeptical and don't believe that Epstein killed himself. Ultimately,
9:15
two jail guards at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan
9:19
were charged with falsifying records. The two guards initially claimed
9:23
to have done their nightly rounds, but footage suggests otherwise,
9:27
and they confess to messing up the circumstances surrounding the suicide.
9:31
And how jail guards did not notice has been a
9:34
source of conspiracy theories and suspicion. Well, you can end
9:38
all of it by being transparent. That's how you end
9:42
conspiracy theory with transparency in truth. But when there's a
9:46
lack of that from the federal government, people are left
9:49
to come up with their own stories, their own, you know,
9:53
reasons for why things happened. And of course there's drifters
9:56
out there that will play on people, they'll play on
9:59
their bi and they'll come up with all kinds of
10:01
wild conspiracy theories. There's no doubt that happens. But if
10:05
you're going to talk about conspiracy theory and people who
10:08
are pitching them, then speak directly to the people who
10:11
are out here pitching conspiracy theories. Don't malign a whole
10:15
community of concerned citizens who are demanding justice an end
10:24
to trial and co conspirators. Though Epstein's death brings an
10:27
end to the case, it is not the end of
10:29
the investigations. Epstein's may main co conspirator. His longtime girlfriend,
10:35
Glainne Maxwell, was recently arrested for her role in the
10:38
sex trafficking of miners, and we know the story of
10:41
her now she's in prison for twenty years. Other prominent
10:44
figures who mingled with Epstein and Maxwell are also under scrutiny.
10:49
A survivor accuses Prince Andrew of sex with miners and
10:53
says that Epstein trafficked many of the underage girls to
10:56
have sex with prominent men. Other pobl pliticians and celebrities
11:01
who socialize with Epstein are also under the public i
11:05
including President Trump, former President Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey, and
11:09
Woody Allen, to name a few. The Epstein cor corruption
11:13
saga is not over for those who are involved need
11:16
to be held accountable so justice can be brought to
11:19
the survivors. Now that sounds like a tune, I'd like
11:22
to dance to a little bit of justice in a world,
11:25
in a world filled with injustice, sounds like a pretty
11:29
good time to me, all right, folks, that's gonna do
11:32
it for this episode. If you'd like to contact me,
11:34
you can do that at Bobby Kapouchi at proton mail
11:37

11:42
proton mail dot com. You can also find me on
11:45
Twitter at Bobby Underscore c ap u Cci. The link
11:51
that I discussed can be found in the description box.
11:54
What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
12:00
That NPR article the other day about conspiracy theories surrounding
12:04
Jeffrey Epstein really got me to thinking why so many
12:08
people in the legacy media seem hell bent on covering
12:12
for Jeffrey Epstein when there's so much information out there
12:16
that even a simple Google search would show you that
12:19
shit is not right here. Yet you have people who
12:22
would rather focus on the conspiracy theories rather than on
12:26
the criminal enterprise and the actual crimes that went down.
12:31
So since they don't know how to do their jobs correctly,
12:34
I'll step into that vacuum and I'll do it for them,
12:37
because it's getting pretty old to have all of these
12:40
legacy outlets focus on the conspiracy theory rather than on
12:45
the crimes that were committed. And that's what you get
12:48
consistently all of these articles that you see trying to
12:54
posit Jeffrey Epstein's story as one big conspiracy theory. They're
12:58
doing that for political motivation, for political gain. If they're
13:01
writing those stories, they feel like this story of Jeffrey
13:04
Epstein is hurting their favorite political candidate, point blank, period.
13:10
And it's transparent what they're doing to anyone who's paying attention,
13:14
because anyone who has even the slightest handle on this
13:16
story understands how deep it is, understands how many tentacles
13:22
Jeffrey Epstein had flung all over the world. And unlike
13:26
other people, I don't just sit here and tell you
13:28
that everything we talk about is sourced through legacy media outlets.
13:36
So the information is there, but the legacy media themselves
13:40
refuse to put the pieces together because they don't want
13:44
it to end up in a huge political catastrophe for them.
13:48
That's what it comes down to. So today we're going
13:51
to jump back in the time machine once again, folks,
13:53
and go back to February twentieth of twenty twenty. We
13:56
have an article from Law and Crime headline FBI had
14:00
dirt that could have unraveled Jeffrey Epstein's entire network more
14:04
than a decade ago. I guess that's a conspiracy theory too, right.
14:08
I guess the FBI they're just so nice that they
14:10
decided to sit on that information and not go after Epstein. Right.
14:15
This article was authored by Colin Combacker. The Federal Bureau
14:20
of Investigation had dirt on Jeffrey Epstein more than a
14:24
decade ago, but he was bailed out by federal prosecutors
14:27
in Florida before authorities had the chance to act on
14:31
that information. Boy, oh boy, how many people do you
14:35
know that have been bailed out by the prosecutors? Not
14:38
very many, right, hardly any I guess it helps, though,
14:44
and it makes it easier when you have an ex
14:46
prosecutor who's working for the prosecution one day and then
14:49
the very next day that same prosecutor is defending your associates. Well,
14:53
I guess it makes it a little easier for you
14:55
to game the system, right, But I guess that's okay.
15:00
According to ABC News, Epstein recruited a fourteen year old
15:03
girl to give him massages in his Upper east Side
15:06
mansion in two thousand and two. The woman claims that
15:09
Epstein gradually came to sexually abuse her. The dead pedophile's
15:13
assistance allegedly scheduled several appointments with the girl who accepted
15:18
cash from the elite predator because her family was suffering
15:21
through poverty. And we've said this a million times here, right,
15:24
The whole entire perception of giving money makes it look
15:29
like these girls are prostitutes, when that is not the case.
15:32
These are vulnerable girls that are recruited off the street,
15:35
from malls, from mar A Lago wherever, and then they're
15:39
brought into this spider web and this bullshit is normalized
15:42
to them. They see everybody else doing it. They think
15:45
that's how the elite live, and so it's off and running.
15:49
But Epstein and Maxwell and their assistance, they understood what
15:52
they were doing. If we give them money, well now
15:55
we can say it's solicitation. The identity is currently being
16:01
shrouded out of respect for privacy, but she was identified
16:05
in twenty nineteen by the Southern District of New York
16:09
SDNY and Epstein's indictment as minor victim. Ie Spencer Coven,
16:14
an attorney who represented three Epstein survivors, told ABC the
16:18
FBI could have unraveled the entire network from New York
16:22
to Paris to New Mexico. And again, not me saying this,
16:26
Spencer Couban telling you this, But it's a fact. The
16:31
FBI had everything they needed to go after Jeffrey Epstein.
16:34
They had everything they needed to bring him and all
16:36
of his associates to justice, but they didn't do it.
16:41
And the SDNY they can get up there and they
16:43
can crow about whatever they want, but the fact is
16:46
they had their shot plenty of times and they never
16:48
took it in her. About two thousand and two, Minor
16:55
Victim number one was recruited to engage in sex acts
16:58
with Epstein and was repeatedly sexually abused by Epstein at
17:02
the New York residence over a period of years, and
17:05
was paid hundreds of dollars for each encounter. The SDNY
17:08
filing notes Epstein also encouraged and enticed Minor Victim number
17:13
one to recruit other girls to engage in paid sex acts,
17:17
which she did. Epstein asked Minor Survivor number one how
17:21
old she was, and Survivor number one answered truthfully. Epstein
17:27
wanted them young, and a lot of times these girls
17:29
were told to lie about their age if asked. But
17:33
this time around, according to the survivor, Epstein asked the age,
17:36
she told her, told them, and it was all good.
17:41
The man whose child's sex abuse empire was allegedly enjoyed
17:45
by several of the world's most popular and powerful men
17:48
in art, politics, and finance, was of course, pronounced dead
17:52
by suicide in August of twenty nineteen under extremely suspicious circumstances,
17:58
soon after being apprehended by New York authorities. Justices, it seems,
18:03
had eluded his dozens of survivors for the final time.
18:08
And again, this is long crime saying this not me.
18:11
You got an outlet here that is run by lawyers
18:15
talking about the circumstances being less than ideal surrounding Jeffrey
18:19
Epstein's alleged suicide. And I don't know how anyone who's
18:23
looking at it with a clear head can say otherwise.
18:27
And let me be very clear here, I am more
18:30
than willing to accept he killed himself, but I need
18:33
the evidence to point me there. I'm not just gonna
18:35
buy into it because Bill Barr told me so. And
18:39
for the conservatives or people who lean to the right
18:41
who listen to the show, how long have I been
18:43
warning you folks about Bill Barr? How long have I
18:46
been calling this dude Darth Barr. He is a no
18:49
good son of a bitch and certainly not trustworthy, So
18:52
I don't trust anything he has to say about Jeffrey Epstein.
18:55
In fact, I think there should be a commission about
18:58
Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Barr should be subpoenaed. The woman, however,
19:06
recently filed the lawsuit against Epstein's estate, which offers several
19:09
details about her abuse and exploitation. Her experience with Epstein
19:15
fit within what is known to have been a common
19:18
pattern for the abuser. The lawsuit reads, he would find
19:21
vulnerable young girls who needed money and slowly touch their boundaries,
19:25
first asking them to remove their own clothes and massage him,
19:29
and then over time he would escalate his conduct, touching
19:32
them in ways that would become more invasive, violent, and painful.
19:37
As these children grew to rely financially on Epstein, he
19:41
would only cause them more and more harm. Look as
19:44
the pit widens, and as you sink deeper into it,
19:47
and as you come to rely on this dude's money, well,
19:50
he has the ability to manipulate you even more and
19:55
for Jeffrey Epstein, Let's not forget that it wasn't just
19:59
about the secon, it was about the power play that
20:01
came with all of this. The lawsuit continues on a
20:07
personal note, she never received the high school education. She
20:10
suffers from post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression. Her
20:15
severe emotional injuries manifest in many ways. She often finds
20:20
herself crying. She is unable to form healthy emotional relationships
20:23
with men. She often cannot sleep through the night or
20:26
fall asleep at all. She has panic attacks, and she
20:29
is constantly afraid for her young daughter. And with all
20:33
of that in mind, and knowing that the FBI had
20:35
the evidence to stop this sick fuck and they didn't
20:37
do it, how can you not be upset? ABC News
20:41
notes the woman is scheduled to testify before a grand
20:44
jury during the summer of two thousand and eight. As
20:47
the date drew near, Epstein's scheduled a hearing and entered
20:50
it guilty plea, mysteriously securing unheard of preferential treatment from
20:55
local law enforcement and federal authorities alike. The woman's testimony
21:00
was abruptly canceled. So we've never been able to get
21:03
any of those records from that original grand jury, from
21:06
the original arrest Palm Beach County. Who is really in
21:11
the spotlight right now with what's going on down in
21:13
mar A Lago. They have continuously screwed the pooch here
21:17
when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. So I don't have
21:21
the highest opinion of what's going on down in Palm Beach.
21:24
I mean I have the same sort of opinion of
21:26
them as I do of the SDNY, and it's not
21:29
very good. Unfortunately, FBI agents who interviewed her earlier that
21:35
year were left with legally useless information about an avowed
21:39
and wealthy pedophile with friends in the highest places of
21:42
several governments. Now, why would the United States Federal Prosecutor's
21:47
Office engage in a deal with somebody like this? Can
21:51
you give me a good reason? For the last three
21:54
and a half years, as I've researched this case every
21:57
single day, I have not found one single good ry
22:00
reason why that would be the case. Marie Villa Fauna
22:07
is the one time Florida federal prosecutor who oversaw the
22:10
US Attorney Attorney's office initial investigation of Epstein, the same
22:15
investigation that was ultimately shut down by then US Attorney
22:19
for the Southern District of Florida, Alex Acosta, as he
22:22
reacted to pressure from those close to the intelligence community
22:26
to give the well connected pedophile a sweetheart deal and
22:29
a slap on the wrist. So again, folks, conspiracy theories.
22:33
Where you want to talk about the intelligence community, it's
22:36
right here in plain English for you and for the
22:39
author of that NPR article. You should really school yourself
22:43
on the topic before you start making accusations about a
22:47
whole bunch of people. It's really not a good look.
22:52
Her attorney, Ty Kelly, issued the following statement on her behalf.
22:57
Because of the Department of Justice has declined to wave
22:59
privy over the Epstein matter, Miss Villa Fauna is prohibited
23:03
from discussing this matter and their opinions on the outcome
23:07
in greater detail. If the Department were to waive that privilege,
23:10
she believes it would provide a fuller and more accurate
23:13
picture of how she handled this matter and how she
23:16
advocated for survivors at every turn. So why is the
23:20
government still holding it information close to its chest here
23:23
when it comes to Epstein and who he was connected to?
23:27
That's not national security. There's no national security implications here.
23:31
There's no Russians coming, So what are they doing? And
23:36
if you're not mad about that, and you're mad that
23:37
people are talking about it, maybe you should reevaluate your
23:41
whole entire outlook on life because you're being lied to
23:45
by the legacy media. And if that's okay with you,
23:47
then fine. I'm not here to tell you what to
23:49
think or what to believe. As I've said a million times,
23:53
I feel like my job here is to curate this
23:55
story and open a few doors for you to walk through,
23:59
and what you do with that information is completely up
24:01
to you. I'm not one of these people who believes
24:04
he's smarter than anybody else or knows more than anybody else.
24:09
I just have my finger on the pulse when it
24:11
comes to this case, and my bullshit meter has been
24:14
pretty damn good throughout this whole thing. And when we
24:18
hear about the FBI safeguarding information and there's a you know,
24:23
right now as we speak, Techno frog over on Twitter,
24:26
who is a great researcher. He has some freedom of
24:29
information stuff going with the FBI, and they're being all
24:32
coy about it. So it tells you everything you need
24:35
to know. The fact is we're being lied to by
24:39
the federal government when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. They're
24:42
not giving us the full story, and we demand transparency,
24:46
point blank period. The former's prosecutor's words, however, are likely
24:51
to ring somewhat hollow in light of the known historical
24:54
record as lawn Crime previously reported. Villa Fano was reprimanded
24:58
by a federal judge in two thousand and seven for
25:01
an intentional, intentional, and or serious lapse in judgment because
25:05
she held back information in another sex crimes case that
25:09
also included an underage female victim. Now, some people try
25:15
to paint Villa Fauna as a hero here, and me,
25:18
I never went down that path. I always thought that
25:21
a real hero would have reported the facts no matter what,
25:24
even if that meant they'd lose their job. Sometimes you
25:28
got to take a stand, even if that means taking
25:30
that stand might end up being a tough go of it.
25:35
And unfortunately, Ms Villa Fauna certainly didn't do that. But again,
25:39
folks here you have it right there for you from
25:42
Long Crime Dan Abrams production certainly not qan On telling
25:47
you that the FBI had this information telling you that
25:50
the FBI did not act on that information. So this
25:53
is a record of fact. This is not a conspiracy theory,
25:56
This is not conjecture. The FBI had several chances to
26:00
arrest Jeffrey Epstein previous to his long reign of terror,
26:06
and they did not do so. And we're gonna continue
26:08
to talk about that throughout time, and I'm gonna continue
26:12
to go back into the vault and pull articles like this.
26:15
Some of these articles we may have done, you know,
26:17
two years ago, but we're gonna look at them with
26:19
a fresh perspective because this whole entire push recently to
26:24
try and posit this as some big conspiracy theory for
26:28
wackos is very, very hurtful to the survivors and to
26:33
the cause of justice. All Right, folks, it's gonna do
26:37
it for this episode. If you'd like to contact me,

link that we discussed can be found in the description
26:59
box our article today is from nbcnews dot com. The
27:05
headline FBI wanted to arrest Epstein at Virgin Island's beauty pageant.
27:10
Months before plea deal was cut, an FBI supervisor was
27:15
extremely upset about being denied the opportunity to arrest Epstein.
27:19
In two thousand and seven, a Justice Department report says,
27:24
right off the bat, there's big problems there. Why are
27:27
the bureaucrats above, these field agents not letting them pursue
27:31
cases the way they see fit. Their job is to
27:35
make sure everything runs in an orderly fashion. The chiefs,
27:39
their job is to make sure everybody is doing their job.
27:42
Their job isn't to kill an investigation into somebody like
27:45
Jeffrey Epstein or tell these field agents that they can't
27:49
arrest Jeffrey Epstein considering all of the evidence that they have.
27:53
And that's why when people talk about Costa, he's the
27:56
real one to blame. That's why I'm so adamant that
27:59
he's not. He's just another piece on the chessboard. Folks
28:04
being moved and manipulated by those above. And those are
28:08
the people who I'm setting my sights on. The mw
28:12
cases of the world. The other people at the Department
28:15
of Justice, who was giving these orders, who was telling
28:18
these agents not to pursue Jeffrey Epstein, and why this
28:25
article was authored by Tom Winter and Sarah Fitzpatrick. The
28:31
FBI wanted to arrest Jeffrey Epstein while he was judging
28:34
a beauty pageant in the Virgin Islands, seven months before
28:37
he signed a non prosecution deal that shielded him from
28:41
the federal sex crime excuse me, federal sex crime charges,
28:44
a Justice Department report says, and now you see why
28:48
his lawyers were so adamant about getting this deal done
28:51
right months before the deal was even signed off on,
28:57
These FBI agents wanted to pursue him and arrest him
29:00
at this beauty pageant, and they were told no by
29:03
their superiors. Did their superiors then contact Jeffrey Epstein and
29:08
his lawyers and let them know what was coming down
29:10
the pipe? Look, I don't have evidence directly pointing to that,
29:14
but it would fit the narrative, and it would fit
29:16
what we already know about the relationship between Epstein, his lawyers,
29:21
and the prosecution. We know that there were deep ties there.
29:24
You know, they didn't go to lunch to discuss each
29:26
other's families or anything like that. Okay, who was the
29:31
one who was responsible for telling these agents not to
29:35
pursue Epstein. That's a pretty basic question that should be answered,
29:39
and whoever that person is should have to testify under
29:44
oath as to why they made that decision. The three
29:49
hundred and forty seven page report obtained by NBC News
29:52
expands on an executive summary released Thursday of a probe
29:56
into a more than decade old sex abuse in instigation
30:00
of Epstein. The Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility found
30:06
that former Labor Secretary Alex King Koopa Acosta, who oversaw
30:11
the case when he was a top federal prosecutor in
30:14
Florida in the mid two thousands, exercised poor judgment but
30:18
did not engage in misconduct. Well, yeah, how could it
30:22
be misconduct if his superiors are ordering him to do this?
30:26
And again, I really don't know how anyone can believe
30:30
that Acosta had the power or the ability to pull
30:33
that off on his own'. That's just not reality. That's
30:37
not how these large bureaucracies work. Do you think that
30:40
these people above Acosta don't want their taste, they don't
30:44
want their bit of the of the spotlight when they
30:48
send somebody away, or on the other hand, if they
30:54
have buddies or people there you know, friends with, or
30:59
people that might be involved in some sort of government operation.
31:03
The absolutely, the absolute opposite is true of how these
31:08
FBI bosses go. So again, for me, it all comes
31:12
down to the people above a Costa making these decisions. Now,
31:16
of course a Costa is a spineless scumbag. How anyone
31:20
could just shake their head yes, boss, Okay, boss, yes, boss, yes, boss,
31:24
whatever you say. Boss, I'll let this serial pedophile, serial
31:27
child sex abuser just go free after a year. Okay, boss,
31:30
whatever you say. How I mean, how do you live
31:33
with yourself? So it's not like I'm saying a Costa
31:37
shouldn't have been canned and he shouldn't be shit on.
31:40
He should be, But what about the people above him?
31:42
Are we going to allow them to use him as
31:44
a scapegoat like they always do, or are we going
31:48
to demand that it goes all the way up the
31:51
ladder for once and that there's some accountability in Washington,
31:54
DC and at the Department of Justice. That's the path
31:59
I'm on, folks. Now, if people are happy with just
32:04
collecting Acosta's scalp. Then that's fine, and they can pursue
32:08
whatever they'd like to pursue. But me personally, there is
32:13
zero chance that this dies on the vine with Acosta
32:16
like they wanted to. This goes all the way to
32:18
the top. Everybody who signed off on that paperwork, everybody
32:21
who was in the direct chain of command, all of
32:24
them have some answers that they need to give. The
32:28
full report quotes one prosecutor as telling a colleague that
32:31
the FBI had wanted to arrest Epstein in the Virgin
32:35
Islands during a beauty pageant where he is a judge.
32:39
So that would have been nice. Huh. Go in there,
32:41
arrest him right at that beauty pageant, make a scene
32:44
about it, video cameras, news, news people there, the whole nine.
32:48
That's what should have happened. The case agent recalled that
32:52
she and her co case agent were disappointed about being
32:55
denied the opportunity to make the arrest in May two
32:58
thousand and seven, port says, and an FBI supervisor overseeing
33:03
the case was extremely upset about it. So they were
33:06
so upset that they came out and were whistleblowers about
33:10
this or not, they just you know, kept their heads
33:12
down and kept their jobs. While I agree that i'd
33:16
been freaked out. If I was an FBI investigator or
33:19
an FBI supervisor and I was told not to pursue this,
33:23
I would have freaked out. I would have went public.
33:26
There's no chance that I would have just tucked my
33:28
tail and accepted something like that. And that's why I
33:31
can never ever work for an entity or a monolithic
33:36
place like the government, because I'd be blowing the whistle
33:40
every chance I got. What they're doing behind the scenes
33:44
is atrocious, it's gross, and it needs to end. And
33:49
if anyone thinks it just started with the previous the
33:52
recent administration, then your bias is showing and you should
33:56
probably step out of your echo chamber for a little while,
34:00
because this is a systemic problem within Washington, DC and
34:04
within places like the Department of Justice. It didn't happen overnight.
34:10
This sort of environment has been fostered over the years
34:14
by incompetent leaders in the position of Attorney General, and
34:19
we're directly on course for another shitbag to be appointed.
34:25
Have you taken a look at Joe Biden's transition team, Boy,
34:29
those people have not never met a war that they
34:31
haven't liked. Huh. It wasn't until a year later in
34:39
two thousand and eight that Epstein surrendered to authorities after
34:42
signing a plea deal. That the FBI wanted to bring
34:45
charges against Epstein in two thousand and seven was already known,
34:49
but the agency's interest in arresting him at a beauty
34:52
pageant in the Virgin Islands has not been previously reported.
34:56
And again, what do I always say about this stuff? Right,
34:59
every time something new comes out, there's always at least
35:02
one little nugget for us. And that's why it's important
35:05
that we stay on task and we keep hammering these
35:08
articles as soon as they come out and we add
35:11
them to the catalog, because every time we read a
35:13
new article or there's new documentation that comes out from
35:17
the courts, we always find at least one or two
35:20
little nuggets that help put the pieces together. And what
35:23
this does, in my opinion, is it shows the complicity
35:26
of the higher ups at the FBI for not wanting
35:29
to get involved with Epstein. Did it have anything to
35:34
do with his relationship with Bill Clinton? Perhaps the politically
35:41
connected financier Pedophile had been accused of sexually abusing dozens
35:46
of teenage girls in his West Palm Beach mansion, but
35:48
he eventually pleaded guilty to state charges involving a single
35:52
survivor in a deal that spared him from serving a
35:56
long prison sentence. Imagine doing what Jeffrey Epstein did and
36:03
only receiving the slap on the wrist that he received.
36:07
Imagine how brazen you would feel. Imagine how emboldened you
36:12
would feel. So now he doesn't do any real prison
36:16
time he gets out, he knows he just got a
36:18
slap on the wrist, he knows that people aren't even
36:20
paying attention to him anymore, and he dives right back
36:23
into what he was doing. If I was one of
36:27
these survivors who was abused by Epstein after his arrest,
36:31
I would sue the federal government for incompetence, negligence, and
36:35
aiding and abetting in my misery. Now would that lawsuit
36:39
go anywhere? I don't know, but I'd file it. Epstein
36:46
ultimately spent thirteen months in jail and was allowed to
36:49
leave almost every day through a work release program. He
36:52
died by suicide, allegedly inside a federal prison last year
36:56
while awaiting trial on new sex trafficking charges. Now ask
37:00
yourselves if you know anyone who has ever been in
37:03
prison or jail, did they have that ability a work
37:06
release program? Did they have a whole stockade of the
37:09
jail to themselves. Were they able to go to their
37:11
office and work every day for thirteen hours a day?
37:15
Did they have full access to the TV? Did they
37:18
have full access to their lawyers whenever they wanted them?
37:22
And I can answer that question for you because the
37:25
answer is no. Normal folks like you and I, or
37:28
your cousin John, or your friend Mikey who got caught
37:31
up with some drugs maybe and is in jail, they
37:34
don't get those privileges, folks. Only scumbags like Jeffrey Epstein
37:38
get those privileges. The report says. The federal investigation began
37:44
when Assistant US Attorney Marie Villa Fauna told a Costa
37:48
that she was willing to invest the time and the
37:51
FBI was willing to invest the money to investigate Epstein.
37:56
But I didn't want to get to the end and
37:58
then have the US Attorney's office being intimidated by the
38:00
high powered lawyers for Epstein, she said in an email
38:04
which included the report. I was assured that would not happen. Well,
38:10
it did happen, and Miss Villafana, what did you do
38:12
about it? Again? You're another person who just tucktailed and run.
38:18
It was an absolute travesty. What happened here? How could
38:21
the US Attorney's office be intimidated by any high powered lawyers?
38:25
The US Attorney's Office, the federal US Attorney's Office, has
38:29
so much power at their fingertips that it's not even funny.
38:33
They could ruin your life with a snap of their fingers.
38:36
But they're intimidated by Jeffrey Epstein's lawyers. Huh. I highly
38:40
doubt that. What that really means is, if you read
38:42
between the lines, they're intimidated by who those lawyers know,
38:47
by who those lawyers are friends with, by who those
38:50
lawyers are pressuring outside of this case to make sure
38:54
that it doesn't go anywhere. That's what that means. Wrote
39:00
in July two thousand and seven, nearly two months after
39:03
the FBI wanted to arrest Epstein at the beauty pageant.
39:06
Now I feel like there is a glass ceiling that
39:08
prevents me from moving forward. While evidence suggests that Epstein
39:12
is continuing to engage in this criminal behavior. All of
39:16
these people should lose their jobs. Villa Fauna, Acosta's gone,
39:20
and they should all be looked at with scorn. You know,
39:23
Villa Fauna can say whatever she wants, but she was
39:25
in the shit. She could have blow She could have
39:27
came out with all of this. She could have blown
39:29
this wide open. She could have advanced it all the
39:31
way up the ladder, went to the Inspector General, went
39:34
to everybody that she could have and blew the whistle
39:37
that something really, really really wrong was going on here.
39:40
But she didn't. Happy holidays. The report describes a year
39:44
of back and forth communications between between a cadre of
39:48
Epstein's attorneys, Villa Fauna, Villafana's immediate supervisors, and Acosta himself,
39:54
some of which have previously been detailed in court filings.
39:58
It includes summarizations of in with FBI agents, emails, and
40:02
written documentation about the case. And again, I don't even
40:07
want to hear anything from anybody who thinks that Acosta
40:10
is the be all end all here. Do you think
40:13
those missing emails that was that's a coincidence, folks? Or
40:16
was Acosta in communication with the higher ups in the
40:20
US Prosecutor's office all the way up to the Department
40:24
of Justice heads. I'm gonna go with that theory, okay,
40:27
because that makes a whole lot more sense than a
40:31
middling US attorney making these kind of bold decisions on
40:36
their own. That does not happen in the belly of
40:39
theau of the bureaucracy. Folks, Okay, the bureaucrats above him.
40:44
They have to have their fingers in it too. They
40:46
need to have their credit, they need to be involved.
40:50
So if anyone thinks a cost is out here making
40:52
executive decisions on his own, well, h I don't know
40:55
what to tell you. Villafanat the Justice Department that she
41:01
believed Acosta was influenced by the stature of Epstein's attorneys. Well,
41:07
his bosses were, and they reached out to him and
41:10
told him the deal. Look, it's very obvious how this
41:13
is lining up now, At least from the way I
41:15
see it. Acosta was nothing more than a yes man,
41:19
and his bosses put all of this into play when
41:22
his bosses were pressured by Epstein and Epstein's lawyers. That's
41:25
the way it looks to me. One of the issues
41:29
in the case was the defensibility to describe the case
41:32
or characterize the case as being legally complex, Villafauna told investigators.
41:38
The report says, it was not as legally complex as
41:41
they made it out to be. No shit, it wasn't.
41:43
It was cut and dry, black and white. But he
41:47
was being protected from those on high. Who those people were,
41:52
those exact people, I don't know. I don't have those
41:54
answers for you, folks, But we're gonna keep digging, We're
41:57
gonna keep talking about it, and maybe someday will find out.
42:00
But I am one hundred percent sure, one hundred percent
42:04
positive in my opinion anyway, that Acosta was not the puppet,
42:11
I mean, the puppeteer. He was the puppet, and there
42:15
were people behind the scenes pulling his strings, no doubt
42:19
about it. But the report says neither Villa Fauna nor
42:24
any of the other individuals OPR interviewed identified any specific
42:29
evidence suggesting that Acosta or any of the other subjects
42:33
extended an improper favor of benefit to Epstein because of
42:37
a personal relationship with defense counsel. Of course, not, what
42:40
do you think they're that stupid. They're not going to
42:42
just leave it out there for it to be found out.
42:45
They can they hide their track. What do you think
42:47
Acosta's bosses intelligence, like Acosta said out of his own mouth,
42:51
don't know how to clean up their own tracks. Here,
42:53
of course they did, and that leads me back to
42:56
the missing emails. In a statement released Thursday, Acosta said
43:03
the report fully debunks allegations that the USAO improperly cut
43:08
Epstein a sweetheart deal or purposely voided investigating potential wrongdoing
43:13
by various prominent individuals. No, not really, it doesn't do
43:17
anything like that. Okay, you haven't answered any questions, mister Acosta.
43:23
You've been real quiet, tight lipped about everything. And you
43:27
think that you're just gonna slide out of this without
43:29
any more scrutiny, You're wrong. While I don't put all
43:33
of the blame on Acosta's shoulders, he carries his share
43:36
and he needs to also be held responsible for what occurred.
43:42
The report also raises new questions about what federal prosecutors
43:46
thought was going on with the original case investigated by
43:50
local prosecutors in Palm Beach. The state intentionally torpedoed it
43:55
in the grand jury, so it was brought to us.
43:58
One of Villafana's supervisors wrote as federal prosecutors were weighing
44:02
charges in two thousand and seven. Yeah, of course they did.
44:06
They definitely torpedoed the case. Look at the way they
44:09
talked about the accusers in the courtroom, calling them prostitutes
44:13
and hookers and saying that they're bad people because they
44:16
posted about smoking weed and hooking up with dudes on
44:19
their social media page. So that makes you a bad
44:22
person in this world, in the world of scumbag Alan Dershowitz,
44:26
in the world of scumbag Acosta, the victim is the
44:32
one to be maligned. Federal prosecutors had concerns about the
44:38
state prosecutor at the time, Barry Krisher, the report says.
44:42
In an email, Acosta asked one of the supervisors of
44:45
the case if it would be appropriate to give a
44:47
heads up to Krisher on how they were going to
44:50
proceed with the investigation. The supervisor advised Krisher no, for
44:56
fear that it will be leaked straight to Epstein. The
44:58
report says, So, how is there no wrongdoing here? Okay,
45:02
if you're worried about this stuff being leaked directly at Epstein,
45:06
how is Barry Krisher not brought up on charges here
45:09
were they working in concert with Epstein's lawyers. It sure
45:12
looks that way. The whole entire prosecution and everybody involved
45:17
in it should have serious repercussions for their actions. As
45:24
the non prosecution agreement was still being negotiated, Villafano wrote
45:28
an email to Acosta describing the pain of three alleged
45:32
survivors who were recently interviewed by investigators. One girl broke
45:36
down sobbing so that we had to stop the interview
45:39
twice within a twenty minute span, she wrote. She regained
45:42
her composure enough to continue a short time, but she
45:45
said that she was having nightmares about Epstein coming after her,
45:49
and she started to break down again, so we stopped
45:51
the interview. And this is the kind of shit the
45:54
prosecutors were hearing, and they didn't care. They still gave
45:59
them that slap on the wrist, that plea deal. That's
46:02
sorry ass, weak ass sentence. And there's been no sanctions
46:07
on any of these prosecutors. They've won about their lives.
46:10
They're all involved in private practices and shit now making
46:13
money hand over fist. These girls deserve so much better
46:19
than they have received so far, and I hate feeling
46:22
that there is nothing I can do to help them,
46:23
Villa Fauna added, Folks, that's a big problem. Okay, you
46:28
work for the United States Attorney General. You're in a
46:31
United States lawyer, right, You're a prosecutor for the federal government,
46:37
and you can't help girls who are being trafficked and
46:40
sexually abused with all of this evidence lying around. So
46:44
you see, folks, it's obviously not a costa. Okay, it's
46:48
way above him. It goes all the way to the top,
46:50
and we need to change it. But there's no way
46:53
that's ever going to happen if we keep sending retreads
46:56
back to DC career politicians, garbage people who did nothing
47:02
for their whole entire run as a politician to help
47:05
these revivers. Yet we keep sending the same scumbags back
47:08
to Washington DC. Epstein's attorney, Ken Starr, wrote a final
47:15
email to Acosta when the case was concluded. While I
47:18
am obviously very unhappy at what I believe is the
47:22
government's treatment of my client, a man whom I have
47:25
come to deeply admire, I recognize that we have filed
47:29
and argued our appell appellate motions and lost Star said.
47:33
He concluded saying I would like to have some closure
47:36
with you on this matter so that in the years
47:38
to come, neither of us will harbor any ill will
47:42
over the matter. Ken Starr is an absolute piece of shit,
47:45
by the way, all right, The guy's a garbage human being.
47:48
He's always been a garbage human being, and this just
47:52
intensifies the garbage smell hanging around him. He was a
48:00
crucial part of Epstein's team. He brought a lot of
48:04
credibility to Epstein's team, and he had an in with
48:07
the federal prosecutors at the time. Ken Starr is somebody
48:14
who has been reprehensible from for a very long time
48:17
and continues on the pathway of being a disgusting son
48:22
of a bitch. You deeply admire Jeffrey Epstein. You've come
48:27
to deeply admire Jeffrey Epstein. Huh, Well, that says a
48:30
whole hell of a lot about you, Ken Starr, a
48:33
whole hell of a lot about you and all of
48:37
these other disgusting sons of bitches who are involved. As
48:41
far as prosecution goes, every last one of these people,
48:46
this report, be damned, needs to go under oath and
48:51
