Scotland Yard’s Mandelson Probe Hits an Epstein Files Roadblock · The Vault: The Epstein Files

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. A few months ago, Peter Mandelson was arrested
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: over in the UK. And according to authorities, he was
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: passing confidential information to his buddy Jeffrey Epstein. Now, Peter Mandelson,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: for his part, has denied that he ever passed any
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: kind of confidential information to anyone, including Jeffrey Epstein. Well,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the UK authorities were hoping that they'd be able to
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: get some of the redacted Epstein files from the Department
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: of Justice. But in typical Todd Blanch Department of Justice fashion,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: they're not helping out. And they're refusing to turn over
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the documentation that's being requested by the UK. And instead
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: of just handing over the information that has to do
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: with Peter Mandelson, the DOJ instead is putting up a
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: brick wall. Because they don't care about justice, okay? It's
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: not about justice. It never has been. It's always been
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: about the blast radius. And every time you see a
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: ruling like this or a decision like this, you know
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: that the fix is in. On what planet don't we
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: want to get to the bottom of what Jeffrey Epstein
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: was up to? And if he was passing confidential information
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: to anybody from any country and that country is requesting
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: your help, the DOJ should offer that help. Whatever can
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: bring more light to what Epstein was up to, that's
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: what should be done. But instead, they continue to do
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the opposite. Today's article is from The Independent, and the headline,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Fears for Mandelson Investigation, as met, still doesn't have unredacted
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Epstein files. This article was authored by Amy Claire Martin.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Fears are growing for the police investigation into whether Lord
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Peter Mandelson shared confidential information with pedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: And look, birds of a feather, right? We know that
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Peter Mandelson was well-liked. We know that Peter Mandelson has
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: friends in the Trump administration. And we know that they're
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: going to try and help their buddy out. That's how
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: these people roll. Power protects power. And if the mask
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: gets yanked off of Mandelson, then the mask gets yanked
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: off of all of them. And they can't have it.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: So instead, they'll continue with this theater where they pretend
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: they care. Pretend that they're actually, you know, investigating what happened.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: But that's all just part of the hustle. They're not
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: really investigating anything. How many investigations have been opened up?
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: How many people have been referred for prosecution? That's right.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Just the two. Mr. Levine and Frederick Fokai. And on
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the word of Sarah Kellen Vickers, those are the only
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: people that you've referred? to the Justice Department for investigation?
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Seems a bit weird, no? Reports claim that the probe
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: into the former Foreign Secretary is stalled without the U.S.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: authorities granting access to the unredacted Epstein files. Well, of course.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: They have to have the information. They have to have
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the evidence if they're going to prosecute somebody. And if
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the United States doesn't want to play ball, well, what
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: are they supposed to do? I mean, you would think
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: that the most transparent administration... in the history of administrations
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: here in America, would want to be transparent, but I
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: guess not. I guess it's only transparency when we're talking
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: about Amelia Earhart. According to the Telegraph, neither the Department
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: of Justice nor the FBI has yet agreed to a
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: request from the Metro Police for the documents. Scotland Yard
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: detectives initially made the request under an informal agreement to
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: share information between the law enforcement agencies. This was later
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: escalated to a formal request for Mutual Legal Assistance, MLA,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: but it could take up to two years to access
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the documents, and there's no guarantee that the DOJ will
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: release them. You mean to tell me they can't make
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: an exception? Call a special counsel or whatever the fuck
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: you do? Of course they can. But it's just like
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the NPA. They have no desire to get rid of it,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: and they have no desire to help anybody else investigate Epstein,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: because all roads lead home. Everybody needs to understand, all
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the people that have been pitching you on Jeffrey Epstein's
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: this big Mossad spy, they're wrong. They're the same people
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: that think they know about the Tyler Robinson case because
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: of dreams and vibes. You have been horribly misled, folks.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Horribly misled. Jeffrey Epstein is, was, and always will be
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: made and protected by intelligence in America. And those are
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: just the facts. I know that it doesn't line up
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: with all the neat little narratives that want to tell
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: you something different, but it's just not the truth. And
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: if those people are lying to you about that, what
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: else are they lying to you about? And listen, when
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I say lying, that's what I mean. Not about being wrong.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: People are wrong all the time. People can evaluate a
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: situation with the facts that are available and then change
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: their mind later on. That's what thoughtful, intelligent people do.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: They follow the evidence. What these grifters do, is they
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: show up with the evidence and make the evidence fit
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: whatever narrative they're trying to build. And isn't it funny
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: that the people that are always yelling about everybody else
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: being caught up in a psyop are actually caught up
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: in a psyop? The Met investigating the claims, the labor
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: grandee passed on market-sensitive information to Epstein during his time
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: as business secretary. The 72-year-old was sacked from his post
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: as ambassador to the U.S. last year. and resigned from
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the House of Lords in February, has previously denied any wrongdoing. Oh, well,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: in that case, close the investigation. Peter Mandelson says he's innocent.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: And you know what the sad truth is? That the
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: DOJ probably has access to everything that the English need
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: to send this son of a bitch to prison. But
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: they know that Peter Mandelson has matches. And if you
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: think a guy like Peter Mandelson is scared to burn
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the house down around him You got another thing coming.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I bet you he's told people and reached out behind
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the scenes and told them, listen, if I go down,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: you go down too. He was arrested on suspicion of
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: misconduct in public office on the 23rd of February and
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: his properties were searched. It came several weeks after the
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: DOJ released 3 million documents relating to the late billionaire
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: on January 30th. However, some information in the exchanges says
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: had been redacted to protect victims and avoid jeopardizing ongoing investigations.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, ongoing investigations. That's Fed speak for leave us alone.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: That's Fed speak for you can't get this FOIA. That's
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Fed speak for fuck you. The arrest followed a tip-off
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: from Sir Lindsay Hoyle, the common speaker, that he could
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: flee to the British Virgin Islands. Scotland Yard previously confirmed
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: it was seeking further details from law enforcement partners, including
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: the U.S., with reports in March claiming that Met Commissioner
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Sir Mark Rowley was due to press the U.S. authorities
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: on the issue during a visit to Washington. Well, we
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: know that Trump is a quid pro quo kind of dude,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: so the U.K. is going to have to offer something
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: up in return. What that is, I have no idea.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Who the fuck knows with Donald Trump? But if you
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: think that he's going to give something up that might
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: lead back to him, you got another thing coming And
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: that's what it's all about, remember. They're worried where this
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: trail leads, and that's why they're willing to burn all
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the boats on the shore to make sure that you
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: don't get the full story. It's now feared that the
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: investigation could eventually collapse without access to the unredacted documents,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: according to reports in the Times and the Telegraph. Although
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: there's hope a sufficient case can be built by interviewing
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: former politicians and officials, the files are understood. to be
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: crucial to the probe. Yo, the cynic in me wants
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: to say that the UK and the United States government
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: are colluding to not release the files. That's what the
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: cynic in me says. Is that true? I don't know.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I have no idea. But when we're talking about this
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: case and we're talking about the people that we're talking about,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: we're forced to think that, you know, we're dealing with
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: sinister people because we are, right? And I think that's
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: been proved time and time again. Pretty much every time
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: you turn around, there's somebody else playing a game. Oh no,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: we can't have that. Oh, we can have this, but
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: we're going to redact that. Oh, we messed up here.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: On and on and on and on. You know what
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: they never say? Oh, well, we indicted this person because
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: there's a ton of evidence and we're going to see
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: it all the way through. Reports have suggested that the
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Trump administration is hesitant to hand over any files that
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: could cause damage to the president's reputation or risk future scandals. However, U.S. officials...
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: have insisted they're simply following established legal procedure. Oh yeah,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: established legal procedure, is it? Loopholes and technicalities. Do you
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: think that the DOJ and the American government doesn't have
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: a workaround for that? What if it was a terrorist?
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Do you think they'd wait two years? Or do you
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: think they'd bypass whatever MLA safeguards there are and get
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: the information they need? But when it comes to Epstein?
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Hell no, you're not getting that. A DOJ spokesman told
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: The Telegraph the Department of Justice has not refused to
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: assist any jurisdiction investigating potential criminal conduct related to Jeffrey Epstein. Well,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: that's a lie. They just got sued by the state
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: of New Mexico for fuck's sake for not handing over information.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: But sure. The DOJ is complying. They're playing ball. They're
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: following the rules. Both US and UK authorities. Follow established
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: and legally required procedures. For sharing information and evidence. And
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: those processes. Ensure that any cooperation adheres. To applicable laws.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: that govern international evidence sharing and protects the integrity of
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: ongoing matters. The Metropolitan Police declined to comment. So, translation,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: we're not giving you anything and there's nothing you can
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: do about it. So I guess the question is, is
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the UK just going to accept that? Or are they
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: going to push and push some more to try and
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: get the documents? And, like usual, we'll be following along
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: every step of the way. All the information that goes
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: with this episode can be found in the description box.
