All Questions, No Answers: Ghislaine Maxwell And Her Deposition Before Congress · The Epstein Chronicles

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Epstein Chronicles. Now that the Epstein files have been released,
• 0:08
  the Congressional Committee has taken a bit of a back
• 0:12
  seat when it comes to the investigation. Well, today, Glayne
• 0:17
  Maxwell is going to be deposed by Congress. However, before
• 0:22
  we get too excited, she's already stated she plans on
• 0:26
  taking the fifth so she doesn't plan on answering any
• 0:30
  of these questions that are going to be posed to
• 0:33
  her by Congress, And unfortunately that's to be expected. Ghlayne
• 0:39
  Maxwell was never going to answer any questions that put
• 0:43
  anybody on the hot seat. If she was going to
• 0:46
  do that, she would have done it a long time ago.
• 0:50
  So I feel like it's performative by Congress to even
• 0:54
  call her to be deposed, and not because she can't
• 0:58
  offer anything up. She most certainly can when it comes
• 1:01
  to filling in timelines, when it comes to talking about
• 1:05
  the other people that were involved, the other people that
• 1:07
  were around, the other people that were enjoying their time,
• 1:11
  if you will, at Jeffrey Epstein's house, she could definitely
• 1:15
  fill in those blanks. But Glenn Maxwell will never admit
• 1:19
  that she did anything wrong because in her demented mind,
• 1:22
  she didn't. So today that's going to be the big news,
• 1:26
  right that Glenn Maxwell is set to be deposed. Unfortunately,
• 1:31
  we're not going to get much from it. This article
• 1:34
  was published by The Daily Mail and the headline Glenn
• 1:37
  Maxwell is set to plead the fifth as she appears
• 1:40
  before the US Congress investigating Jeffrey Epstein today. This article
• 1:47
  was authored by Adam Pogrund. Glenn Maxwell is expected to
• 1:52
  plead the fifth when she appears before a US Congress
• 1:55
  board investigating Jeffrey Epstein's crimes on Monday. Maxwell sixty four,
• 2:02
  an accomplice of the late pedophile, will be questioned behind
• 2:05
  closed doors, but is said to invoke her right to
• 2:08
  not answer any questions. She is currently serving a twenty
• 2:13
  year prison sentence for trafficking girls to sex offender financier Epstein,
• 2:19
  and will face questions from prison via video link in
• 2:22
  a deposition by the House of Representatives Oversight Committee. So
• 2:27
  it's basically just a waste of time. Instead of deposing
• 2:31
  Glayne Maxwell, why don't we depose Sarah Kellen Vickers, Why
• 2:36
  don't we depose Leslie Groff? Or how about Adriana Ross
• 2:40
  might be a good idea. No, you see, the problem
• 2:43
  is if they did any of that, they'd have to
• 2:45
  widen the scope of their investigation. And that's what they've
• 2:48
  always tried to avoid because the wider the scope is
• 2:53
  the more people that are going to get drawn into it.
• 2:56
  And that's what they've wanted to avoid this whole entire time.
• 2:59
  And that's why it's so important that people think that
• 3:02
  this is just one sick, madman, just one demented pervert
• 3:07
  operating alone. Though no new US prosecutions are expected after
• 3:12
  the latest release of government files on Epstein, numerous political
• 3:17
  and business leaders have fallen into scandal or resigned as
• 3:21
  their ties to the convicted sex criminal were revealed. The
• 3:25
  Republican led House Oversight Committee is probing Epstein's connections to
• 3:30
  powerful figures and how information about his crimes was handled,
• 3:34
  and they're doing a piss poor job. Not one word
• 3:37
  about the NPA that tells you all you need to know,
• 3:42
  because the NPA is one of the sickest, most degenerate
• 3:47
  things that the United States government has ever done when
• 3:51
  it comes to get into bed with a criminal. And
• 3:54
  that says a lot. I mean, just look at the
• 3:57
  history of the United States, and look at some of
• 3:59
  the scumback criminals that the federal government has been willing
• 4:03
  to get in bed with, and Jeffrey Epstein is right
• 4:06
  at the top of the list. And the craziest part
• 4:09
  about that NPA is that Jeffrey Epstein wasn't in compliance
• 4:13
  with it ever, and that of course renders the NPA
• 4:17
  as nulan void. But that only happens when you're in
• 4:20
  a country that actually follows the law. That only happens
• 4:24
  when you have a DOJ that is in actively covering
• 4:27
  up the story that we're talking about. Maxwell is expected
• 4:33
  to invoke her right to not incriminate herself, guaranteed in
• 4:37
  the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution. And look, she
• 4:40
  has every right not to say anything, and if I'm
• 4:44
  being real, it's in her best interest not to say
• 4:47
  a word, because Glenn Maxwell is as guilty as possible.
• 4:53
  I have no idea how you could look at the
• 4:55
  evidence against Glenn Maxwell and not think she's guilty. And
• 4:59
  I don't even mean in the larger picture, I'm just
• 5:03
  talking about in general, what she did, what we have
• 5:07
  direct evidence of her doing is enough for her to
• 5:10
  be convicted. She obviously was trafficking girls to Jeffrey Epstein.
• 5:15
  Now we know that it went deeper than that, but
• 5:19
  that's the narrow scope that they decided to charge, and
• 5:23
  they most certainly got over the finish line when it
• 5:26
  comes to providing evidence and testimony. The transcripts are all
• 5:31
  right there for anybody to read. And if you read
• 5:34
  those transcripts and come away thinking that Glaine Maxwell was innocent,
• 5:38
  then I don't know what to say to you. Honestly,
• 5:40
  I really don't know what to say. Like, I guess
• 5:43
  you can have that opinion, but it's wrong and the
• 5:47
  facts certainly don't back it up. And I know there's
• 5:49
  people out there that think Lane Maxwell got a raw deal.
• 5:53
  I don't think she got long enough. I think that
• 5:56
  Glainne Maxwell was not only involved in the actual abuse,
• 6:00
  but she was most certainly involved when it comes to
• 6:04
  funneling money, when it comes to laundering money, when it
• 6:07
  comes to receiving ill gotten gains from a criminal enterprise,
• 6:11
  she most certainly was guilty of that. And do you
• 6:13
  know how many people are sitting in prison right now
• 6:15
  as we speak, for wire fraud, for money laundering, a
• 6:19
  whole hell of a lot. Epstein died in prison in
• 6:22
  twenty nineteen, while awaiting trial for trafficking children in what
• 6:26
  was ruled a suicide. Maxwell's lawyers have pushed for Congress
• 6:31
  to grant her legal immunity in order to testify in
• 6:34
  the deposition, but lawmakers refused. Well, yeah, I would have
• 6:39
  refused too. She's not going to give up anything of note. Now.
• 6:43
  The only caveat to that is if you send the
• 6:46
  inspectors over, you know, the House inspectors who are working
• 6:49
  on the case, and she says she's willing to give
• 6:52
  you something of consequence, then maybe you think about giving
• 6:56
  her some kind of immunity. But besides that, why would
• 7:01
  anyone want to give Glenn Maxwell anything but a hard
• 7:04
  ass time, because that's all she deserves. Without that, her
• 7:09
  legal team said she would invoke her Fifth Amendment right
• 7:12
  against self incrimination. Proceeding under these circumstances would serve no
• 7:17
  other purpose than pure political theater. Her lawyers said in
• 7:21
  a letter, Well, there's no doubt that there's some element
• 7:24
  of political theater to the whole entire thing. So yeah,
• 7:27
  it's going to be some political theater. But really what
• 7:30
  it is is a waste of time. Right, She's not
• 7:34
  going to say anything We're not going to find anything out,
• 7:37
  and the journey towards accountability is not going to be
• 7:41
  any shorter. Because Glayne Maxwell gets up there and pleads
• 7:45
  the fifth It's like they're just ticking off boxes all
• 7:48
  in order to placate you so that you'll move on
• 7:52
  like they want you to. That's what they hope happens. Look,
• 7:57
  there is nothing left to get here, there's no investigation
• 7:59
  left to have our findings back up what the FBI
• 8:04
  was telling you. Nobody else was involved. That's the kind
• 8:07
  of bullshit that I expect from comer in company. They've
• 8:11
  never cared about this, unless, of course, you mean caring
• 8:13
  as in covering it up, in slow walking it in
• 8:18
  providing more time for a narrative to be built. Then yeah,
• 8:22
  sure they cared. But if you mean about survivors, if
• 8:25
  you mean about the rest of us who got screwed, Nah,
• 8:27
  they don't care one bit. And I'm pretty sure that
• 8:31
  those feelings are going to be returned come midterms. Though
• 8:38
  the deposition will occur behind closed doors. Representative Rocana, a Democrat,
• 8:43
  published a letter of the questions he intended to ask Maxwell,
• 8:47
  even if she refuses to answer. Some touch on Trump's
• 8:50
  ties to Epstein and Maxwell. Others focus on four co conspirators,
• 8:55
  as well as twenty five other men who allegedly sexually
• 8:58
  abuse miners Epstein's island. One of the questions asked, why
• 9:03
  do you believe they were not indicted? The Trump administration
• 9:08
  has already come under criticism for its handling of the case.
• 9:12
  And you know, it's so wild to me. You have
• 9:14
  people out here talking about how this was all the
• 9:16
  money grab by Epstein's survivors and how they all got
• 9:19
  super rich. But the truth is they didn't get rich,
• 9:25
  and the vast majority of the money that was doled
• 9:27
  out went to the United States Virgin Islands, not to
• 9:31
  the survivors. Chew on that for a minute. And when
• 9:35
  you average it all out, the survivors who received settlements
• 9:39
  via the estate and the compensation fund averaged way less
• 9:45
  than a million dollars each. So what are we even
• 9:49
  talking about here? People act like these women all got
• 9:53
  like twenty or thirty million dollars each when that is
• 9:56
  certainly not the case. Now, talking about RGI a little different, right,
• 10:01
  She got that gigantic payday from the Joe Exotic of
• 10:04
  the Windsor family. But you have people like Leon Black,
• 10:09
  who paid the USVII sixty two and a half million dollars.
• 10:15
  You have the USVII collecting over what one hundred and
• 10:19
  eighty million dollars throughout this whole, entire sordid ordeal, even
• 10:24
  though they themselves were accused of enabling Jeffrey Epstein's bullshit.
• 10:29
  So these dirty sons of bitches were eating at both
• 10:32
  ends of the table. So please save the nonsense for
• 10:37
  people that don't know the story. Save the bullshit. And
• 10:40
  it's funny when you bring that up. They don't ever
• 10:43
  have an answer for it. Right, Oh, well, you know, no,
• 10:47
  I don't know. Why don't you tell me? The Trump
• 10:49
  administration has already come under criticism for its handling of
• 10:53
  her case, as it should. How are you gonna move
• 10:56
  Gleanne Maxwell to club fed not give anybody any reason why?
• 11:02
  It's pretty crazy how they think they can just do
• 11:05
  whatever they want without any kind of oversight or without
• 11:08
  anybody saying anything to them. And God forbid, you do
• 11:11
  speak up, you're gonna get treated like Marjorie Taylor Green.
• 11:15
  You're gonna be ostracized, you're gonna be threatened, and you're
• 11:18
  gonna be called a trader. Last year, Maxwell was moved
• 11:22
  to a minimum security prison in Texas after meeting twice
• 11:25
  with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who previously served as
• 11:30
  US President Donald Trump's personal lawyer. No conflict of interests there.
• 11:35
  Everything is on the up and up, folks. Trump himself
• 11:40
  was a longtime Epstein associate, but has not been called
• 11:43
  to testify by the Oversight Committee, which is led by
• 11:45
  members of his Republican Party. Trump has not been accused
• 11:50
  of criminal wrongdoing related to Epstein's activities. Yo. The whole
• 11:54
  entire reason that the Democrats are willing to throw Bill
• 11:58
  Clinton in Hillary into the chump filled water is because
• 12:02
  they want to get Trump in the same position, and
• 12:05
  they are willing to sacrifice Bill and Hillary to do it.
• 12:08
  And in fact, I have an episode talking about that
• 12:10
  coming up later today, because it's a shrewd strategy by
• 12:14
  the Democrats, for sure, and it shows you the shifting
• 12:18
  lines within the Democratic Party. The old guard is not
• 12:22
  going to be protected like it used to be, and
• 12:27
  in order to get Trump in the hot seat, They're
• 12:30
  willing to jettison Bill and Hillary Clinton. And that is
• 12:33
  a seismic shift from the usual strategy and it's certainly
• 12:37
  interesting to watch it all go down because there was
• 12:40
  a point in time where the Clintons were untouchable and
• 12:44
  where nobody in the party would say a word. Let's remember,
• 12:48
  Jeffrey Epstein went to Bill Clinton's White House seventeen times,
• 12:52
  invited seventeen times. Now, you would think that that would
• 12:55
  be something that they would make a stink about, but
• 12:58
  not really. However, forward to today. They're willing to throw
• 13:02
  Clinton right over the edge if that means getting Trump
• 13:05
  in the hot seat. And I think that's rather obvious.
• 13:09
  You don't have to be some kind of political wonk
• 13:11
  to understand that that's the strategy. Also expected to be
• 13:16
  deposed by the committee are former President Bill Clinton and
• 13:20
  his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, both Democrats.
• 13:25
  The Clintons have called for their depositions to be held
• 13:27
  publicly to prevent Republicans from politicizing their testimony. Yeo, I'm
• 13:33
  all for it. I think all of these should be public,
• 13:36
  every last one of these depositions. Why are they behind
• 13:39
  closed doors in the first place. Now, I know we
• 13:41
  get the transcripts. That's cool, that's great, I appreciate it,
• 13:45
  But why not just have everything done in the open.
• 13:48
  Why are we playing games? Why give anybody any ground
• 13:52
  to complain and say that they're not being treated right
• 13:55
  or that they were done wrongly during the deposition. Make
• 13:59
  a public let us all see it, and let us
• 14:02
  all judge for ourselves, because at this point I don't
• 14:05
  think anybody believes anything that the Justice Department is telling us,
• 14:09
  And even when they do tell us something, I question
• 14:12
  its validity considering how much they've dog walked us, considering
• 14:16
  how much they've lied, why should we trust them now?
• 14:19
  And I agree with the Clintons all of this should
• 14:22
  be public. Unfortunately it's not going to be, so we'll
• 14:26
  have to rely on the transcripts like we have previously,
• 14:29
  and like usual, once those transcripts are available, we'll get
• 14:33
  them added to the catalog. All of the information that
• 14:38
  goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
