DOJ Memos Reveal Prosecutors Targeted Epstein Survivors Instead of the Predator · The Epstein Chronicles

0:00
Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
0:03
Epstein Chronicles. Whenever you hear people try and dismiss what
0:09
Jeffrey Epstein was up to, one of the first things
0:12
people point to is the fact that Jeffrey Epstein wasn't
0:15
charged the first time around with trafficking or anything in
0:19
the realm that resembles trafficking. So of course people say, well,
0:24
Jeffrey Epstein was in charge with trafficking, he wasn't convicted
0:27
of trafficking, so how could he be a human trafficker? Well,
0:31
one of the main reasons that that didn't occur is
0:33
because it was by design the state when after their
0:40
own witnesses, they destroyed their own witnesses credibility on behalf
0:44
of Jeffrey Epstein Barry Krisher than the rest of them.
0:49
That's what happened. You really think that a jury would
0:52
have given a shit if a kid had a MySpace
0:54
page talking about drinking and smoking some pot if they
0:58
were molested by Jeffrey fucking Epstein. This is the kind
1:03
of bullshit we've been dealing with since the very beginning
1:05
of this. Oh well, these kids are incredible. They smoked
1:09
some pot, They drank some beers, They talked about sex.
1:13
Do you forget being a teenager? I did all of that,
1:16
and I'm sure most of you did too. So does
1:18
that mean that they couldn't have been abused by Jeffrey Epstein?
1:21
Does that mean that they had a credibility problem? Well
1:24
maybe if it was one person, but what about forty?
1:27
What about fifty? So today we have an article from
1:31
the New York Post and the headline Jeffrey Epstein accusers
1:35
had credibility challenges, including past arrests, changing stories. Doj memos
1:40
detail and we've talked about this countless times. We didn't
1:44
need the memos for this. It's no secret that they
1:47
destroyed their own case and their own witnesses, and they
1:50
only brought one girl up. Now they'll tell you it's
1:54
because they had credibility issues, but that's not really true.
2:00
Does Glenn Maxwell have credibility issues? She sure got some
2:03
favorable treatment. Huh? How about Sammy de Bolgravano or how
2:07
about Whitey Bulger Give me a break. Okay, they think
2:11
you're stupid, That's what it comes down to. And of
2:14
course it gives ammunition to the people that are running
2:16
cover for the cover up, and there's plenty of them
2:19
out there. This article was authored by Samuel Chamberlain and
2:25
Josh Christiansen. South Florida prosecutors pitched the sixty count indictment
2:30
of Jeffrey Epstein on charges including child prostitution and sex
2:34
trafficking in the late two thousands, but fretted that their
2:37
case would be undone by some of the pedophiles alleged victims.
2:41
According to newly released files, well, the OIG report says
2:45
that CEOs, the Child Exploitation Unit, was completely on board
2:49
and wanted to go forward, and everything was on track
2:52
to do so until Mukasey and Philippe got involved from
2:57
Main Justice, And of course that came after a lot
3:00
of pressure that was put on them by Epstein's legal team.
3:04
So it wasn't like, you know, there was this gigantic
3:07
push for this case to go away. In fact, they
3:11
thought they had enough. And that's basically all the line prosecutors.
3:16
It was the bosses, the brass that killed it. The
3:21
Justice Department made public twenty additional documents related to the
3:24
disgraced financier at Thursday evening, including for the first time
3:29
memos laying out the aborted Sunshine State case against Epstein,
3:33
who died in his Manhattan JEL cell in August of
3:35
twenty nineteen while awaiting trial on separate sex trafficking charges. Yeah.
3:41
But the first time around they were incredible, right the
3:43
second time though very credible. The idiocy here is just
3:48
almost unbelievable. And it's whild that they believe that anyone
3:52
is going to believe this. As we said a week ago,
3:55
the Department of Justice reviewed public allegations that formed three
3:59
h two inters summary documents originally produced a Glenn Maxwell
4:03
and discovery of our criminal case we're missing from the
4:06
EFTA Epstein Files Transparency Act library. The DOJ posted on
4:11
x What we found through extensive review is that a
4:15
published in review summary additionally disclosed in a published spreadsheet,
4:19
had a subsequent document that were coded as duplicative. The
4:23
DOJ also said, after this was brought to our attention,
4:27
we reviewed the entire batch with similar coding and discovered
4:31
fifteen documents were incorrectly coded as duplicative under normal circumstances,
4:37
I might give you the benefit of the doubt, but
4:39
here I do not. I think you're lying, and I
4:41
think everything you're saying is bs. Five more documents were
4:47
prosecution memos, three of which were drafted by the office
4:51
of then South Florida US Attorney Alex Acosta. Those memos
4:55
revealed that prosecutor suggested taking Epstein into custody as early
4:59
as May two thousand and seven and seeking the seizure
5:02
of his Pond Beach, Florida home and two private jets
5:06
until Epstein's lawyers started controlling the situation. Have you not
5:10
been paying attention? That's what happened. Epstein's lawyers got the
5:16
justice the brass and started, you know, pulling levers. That's
5:21
why he hired the people he did. What you think
5:23
Ken Starr was just out of the blue. Alan Dershowitz
5:27
just out of the blue. Left Kowitz out of the blue,
5:31
Menchell out of the blue, Lily Sanchez out of the blue,
5:34
Bruce Reinhart out of the blue. Come on, all these
5:37
people were working on the case and then they flipped
5:39
sides to start working for Epstein. Nothing to see here though,
5:42
No big deal. However, the documents also outlined the lines
5:47
of attack that could be used by Epstein's all star
5:50
legal team to place reasonable doubt in the minds of
5:53
a potential jury that is such BS. Can you imagine
5:57
sitting on a jury and then trying to pitch that
6:00
to you, and then the prosecution bringing eight ten girls
6:04
up to tell you their story, which way you got
6:07
to lean as a juror? The whole thing is BS.
6:11
And that's why it makes me so goddamn mad. Top
6:14
of the lists potential weaknesses was the girl whose parents
6:17
initially flagged Epstein's proclivities to the Palm Beach Police Department
6:20
in two thousand and five. Get Ready for this. Copies
6:24
of a MySpace page credited or redacted were provided to
6:28
the State Attorney's Office and to our office. Reads the
6:31
possible credibility challenges section from a February two thousand and
6:35
eight version of the prosecuting memo. On that page, redacted
6:39
states that she's twenty one years old, she drinks and
6:42
has taken drugs, she shoplifts, and she earns two hundred
6:45
and fifty grand a year. The MySpace page also shows
6:48
a picture of redacted wrestling with her boyfriend and a
6:51
photograph of a naked girl lying on a beach during
6:55
her first session with the police. She also minimized what
6:58
happened with Epstein denying that he touched her she was scared.
7:02
How about the second interview or the third one that
7:04
we went through. You see, they can't fool us. We've
7:07
actually read the interviews, so they can try and spin
7:11
it however they want. But I've given it to you, uncut, unadulterated,
7:16
so that when they try their bullshit, you see it
7:18
for what it is. The memo then sought to address
7:23
each of those concerns, noting that the accuser denied the
7:26
MySpace page was hers acclaim investigators could neither confirm or refute,
7:31
and adding that prosecutors had secured two experts to testify
7:35
that sex accuse victims minimize what happened to them until
7:38
they feel more secure about the interviewer. Well, that's pretty obvious,
7:42
and we can see Jane Doe wore them up to
7:46
Michelle Pegan as she's talking to her in the interview.
7:49
Another accuser was flagged for having brought several girls Devestein's home,
7:53
knowing that they were under age, and she has been
7:56
given immunity for her testimony, though prosecutorsted that she is
8:01
very straightforward about Epstein's actions and her own, and that
8:04
members of the federal grand jury had seemed to believe her.
8:08
I think they're talking about Hailey Robson here and her
8:12
behavior and her activities while in Epstein's clutches. Now, there's
8:17
a bunch of dickheads out there that'll try and tell
8:19
you that Hailey Robson is some kind of gigantic human trafficker.
8:22
But let's remember that she fell into Epstein's clutches when
8:25
she was sixteen, and not only that, she spoke with
8:29
the police, not like she was hiding. She wasn't pulling
8:31
a Nadia Marsenkova. She didn't pull a Leslie Groff or
8:35
a Sarah kellen Vickers. She talked to the police. Maybe
8:38
somebody should let Anna Pauline a Luna know that when
8:41
she's done with her interdimensional demons or whatever the fuck
8:44
she's up to. A third was mentioned as a credibility
8:48
risk after an arrest while a juvenile for marijuana possession
8:52
and shoplifting, while concerns were raised about a fourth accuser
8:55
over an arrest on drug charges and her dismissal from
8:58
a retail job Victoria's Secret for theft. So those are
9:03
the credibility issues, as Adjur would any of that matter
9:07
to you. If all the evidence was overwhelming, you had
9:11
the massage pads, I mean, the message pads, you had
9:14
all the corroborating evidence, you had all the circumstantial stuff
9:17
we seen. Would that really matter to you? It wouldn't
9:20
to me, because guess what, even if those girls were
9:24
doing drugs and having sex and all the rest of
9:26
its shoplifting, they can still be abused. They can still
9:29
be taken advantage of. So stop the bullshit, follow the
9:35
evidence wherever it goes. The same accuser admittedly has used
9:40
drugs since becoming involved with Epstein, but she seems to
9:43
have finished that phase of her life. Prosecutors also noted
9:46
that our allegations were backed up by phone and financial
9:50
records indicating Epstein paid her between three hundred and one
9:54
thousand four sexual favors. Ever, think she was using drugs
9:59
because Epstein was abusing her, that might have something to
10:02
do with it, right, I mean, you know, correlation and all.
10:06
In a February two thousand and eight memo, prosecutors noted
10:09
that a fifth victim had given testimony to a state
10:13
grand jury during which she exhibited no hostility towards Epstein
10:17
and said that she testified only because she was subpoenaed
10:20
to appear. Well, did you ever think that Epstein got
10:23
to her, reached out to her, paid her, threatened her,
10:25
threatened her family. Holy shit, man, Her statements are well
10:31
corroborated by the telephone records, et CETERA. Prosecutor said of
10:34
this accuser. But as with the other girls, her past
10:37
is not pristine. If she's under age, it doesn't matter.
10:40
There's no coercion when someone's underage. That's it. You cannot
10:44
have relations with her. Stupid. You can't traffick her. Stupid,
10:48
you can't coerce her. Stupid. Protective orders in the Southern
10:53
District of New York and Southern District of Florida had
10:55
initially prohibited the release of grand jury material in the
10:59
Epstein and max All cases, a senior DOJ official told
11:02
The Post on Thursday. Appearing before the House Oversight Committee
11:07
in September of twenty twenty five, Acosta told lawmakers that
11:10
securing a guilty verdict against Epstein would have been a crapshoot,
11:15
Borrowing the characterization of the case from an officer in
11:18
the Justice Departments Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section who work
11:22
briefly on the case. That's not true. We know that
11:27
CEOs was completely on board. Just go back and read
11:30
the OIG report, and again, that's why we do it. Well,
11:34
you think I have fun reading all those core documents.
11:37
Not exactly the greatest time in the world, but it's necessary,
11:41
and I think it's important that all of you know
11:44
what's going on and not from these people telling you
11:48
directly from the source. That's how you form a real opinion. Right. Ultimately,
11:52
we just wanted the guy to go to jail, he
11:54
said of a much derided June two thousand and eight
11:56
non prosecution agreement. That's aw Epstein's are fewer than thirteen
12:00
months on a state charge of soliciting sex from a minor,
12:04
with much of that time spent on work release. Very
12:07
fair deal, very fair, the kind of deal everybody gets, right,
12:12
Certainly not the deal my family member got launched disaster
12:16
at prison for over six years for illegal gambling. But cool,
12:20
Jeffrey Epstein thirteen months, gets to go out do whatever
12:23
he wants and continue to abuse people while he's under
12:26
the custody of the state. Hell of a job, guys,
12:29
hell of a job. Tell us about credibility issues some more,
12:32
though many victims refused to testify. Many victims had changing stories.
12:37
All of us understood why they had changing stories, but
12:40
they did, and defense counsel would have cross examination would
12:44
have been withering a cost to added, many of them
12:46
had issues in their background, They had the MySpace pages,
12:49
they had priors that would have been used against them
12:52
by defense counsel. And that was at a time when
12:55
in all candor, defense could be much much tougher on
12:58
victims on the stand, said the former US attorney, who
13:02
added that he considered the tactics used by Epstein's legal team,
13:05
which included famed advocate Alan Dershowitz and former independent counsel
13:09
Kenneth Starr, skirted the line of professional misconduct. Not skirted
13:14
the line. They crossed the line many many times, and
13:17
alex Acosta didn't have the courage to stare them down.
13:21
Insteady acquiesced to everything that they demanded, and when he
13:25
didn't acquiesce to one of their requests, they just went
13:28
over his head with the non prosecution agreement. Acosta said,
13:33
we put him in jail, he registered as a sex offender,
13:36
and the victims had an opportunity to recover and that
13:38
was a win. Not true. You put him in jail,
13:40
he kept abusing. Victims had a chance to recover. Which
13:43
ones point them out? Everybody likes to say victims this,
13:46
survivors that, which ones. They're not monolithic. These are all
13:52
different people with unique stories of abuse that they suffered
13:55
at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein and his friends. It's
13:59
not monolithic looking at all of this. The ultimate judgment
14:04
was dear all the dice and if he gets away
14:06
with it, you're sending a signal to the community that
14:09
he can get away with it. Such bullshit. You sent
14:12
that signal to the community by not going hard. That
14:17
was the signal you sent. Don't give us as bs.
14:20
You were scared to go after him at trial. Federal
14:24
prosecutors pursue shit all the time. That's way weaker than this.
14:29
It wasn't You didn't have the evidence, you didn't have
14:31
the courage. That's what it was. A senior DOJ official
14:35
toll reporters that roughly sixty thousand documents had been pulled
14:39
from the Epstein library and placed back under review to
14:42
ensure proper redactions of victim images or pornographic material. More
14:47
than three and a half million pages of the documents
14:49
have been reviewed by DOJ employees and placed on the
14:53
library's web page since President Trump signed the Epstein Files
14:56
Transparency Act into law last November YO. There's no such
15:00
thing as a perfect victim. All kinds of people can
15:04
be victimized, even people that have a checkered past, and
15:07
that doesn't make them liars. That doesn't mean we shouldn't
15:09
believe them. What we should do is look at all
15:12
the evidence provided and go from there. But they just
15:15
skipped all of that and instead decided that it wasn't
15:19
worth pursuing in federal court, and they just kicked it
15:22
back down to state, because you know, that's what the
15:24
federal government always does. So they can talk about credibility
15:28
issues all they want, But the only credibility issue I
15:31
see here isn't what the witness is. It's with the
15:34
DOJ itself. All the information that goes with this episode
