House Oversight Questions Tova Noel About Epstein’s Final Hours (5/19/26) · The Epstein Chronicles

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Epstein Chronicles. As the Congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and
• 0:09
  Jeffrey Epstein's criminal empire continues to rumble. On yesterday, we
• 0:13
  had touven O Well, one of the prison guards, giving
• 0:17
  her testimony before Congress, and of course we don't have
• 0:20
  the transcripts yet, so we don't know verbatim what was said.
• 0:25
  But listening to some of the after action reports by
• 0:29
  some of the Congress people, I'm not too confident that
• 0:32
  they were asking the right questions. And look, just to
• 0:35
  be clear, I don't think Toauvin Owell was involved per
• 0:38
  se in the death of Jeffrey Epstein, just like with
• 0:42
  alex Acosta, it would have to go way higher than that.
• 0:48
  What I think is that the table was set, and
• 0:50
  when I say that, I'm talking about the situation was
• 0:54
  primed for Jeffrey Epstein to do what he did or
• 0:57
  for somebody else to do it. And what better excuse
• 1:00
  can you use? Then the guards that were tasked with
• 1:02
  watching this dude fell asleep. We have no idea what happened.
• 1:06
  We were sleeping. It's not on us. In fact, we
• 1:09
  have no responsibility whatsoever. It's the system itself. And look,
• 1:13
  there is a grain of truth in that there is
• 1:16
  no doubt that MCC was absolutely screwed up. And a
• 1:21
  friend of mine who spent over eight months at MCC
• 1:24
  while they were awaiting trial, said the same thing. The
• 1:28
  place was absolutely screwed up for years and years and years.
• 1:32
  None of this was new. But he also said, when
• 1:36
  you have somebody like Jeffrey Epstein as one of your inmates,
• 1:40
  there's all kinds of extra precautions that are usually taken.
• 1:44
  And Yo, look at the high profile people that have
• 1:46
  been at MCC throughout the years. Have any of them
• 1:50
  killed themselves? Have their cameras stopped working? Have there been
• 1:54
  any of these issues? Of course there haven't been because
• 1:59
  Alchapo well a dangerous dude and obviously somebody you don't
• 2:03
  want to fuck with. He's not Jeffrey Epstein, and he
• 2:06
  didn't have the power, the reach, or most importantly, the
• 2:10
  compromount on powerful people. And one of my biggest fears
• 2:14
  with this Congressional Oversight Committee is that they're going to
• 2:17
  whitewash what happened. And according to some of the comments
• 2:20
  from some of the congress people that were at this
• 2:23
  hearing yesterday. Unfortunately, it seems like that is going to
• 2:26
  be what they're gonna do. Ah, Look, it was systemic.
• 2:30
  Jeffrey Epstein ended up killing himself at that jail because
• 2:33
  you know, the policies there weren't being followed. Okay, let's
• 2:37
  say that that's true. Let's accept that for just a moment.
• 2:41
  What exactly have they done in the aftermath of Jeffrey
• 2:45
  Epstein's death to change these issues? Who ended up getting fired,
• 2:51
  who lost a pension? Nobody? In fact, Tovin Owell and
• 2:55
  Michael Thomas didn't even go to jail. So all these
• 2:58
  Democrats that are on this committee, they can, you know,
• 3:01
  rant and rave and talk about transparency and talk about
• 3:04
  justice and talk about whatever they want. But at the
• 3:07
  end of the day, words are wind and what exactly
• 3:11
  have they accomplished since this committee's began Absolutely nothing? And
• 3:15
  if it wasn't for the discharge petition, forget it all. Right,
• 3:18
  So that brings us to today's article. This article was
• 3:22
  published by ABC News and the headline Epstein got special
• 3:26
  treatment in jail, Former guard tells House Oversight Committee. Well,
• 3:31
  that's weird. She didn't say that in her interview with
• 3:34
  the OIG Inspector did she? And of course that's why
• 3:37
  I'm posting her interview with the OIG again. That way
• 3:41
  we can compare what she said to Congress and what
• 3:44
  she said to the OIG. My guess is the stories
• 3:47
  aren't gonna match up. This article was authored by Peter
• 3:51
  Charlene Beau, James Hill, and Lauren Peller. What did they
• 3:56
  each write a paragraph of this story? There's like four
• 3:59
  paragraphs in this. We need four journalists with a byline here,
• 4:03
  must be nice. Fuck. I'm a one man operation. I
• 4:06
  do everything on my own. I wish I had some help.
• 4:10
  A former prison guard who was on duty at the
• 4:12
  Federal Metropolitan Correction Center in New York when convicted Jeffrey
• 4:16
  Epstein died in twenty nineteen, testified Monday that the late
• 4:20
  sex offender received special treatment at the jail. Two members
• 4:24
  of the House Oversight Committee said, yeah, how much of
• 4:28
  that special treatment came from you? Look, I got questions, money, deposits,
• 4:33
  falling asleep, all that linen in Epstein's cell, and still
• 4:38
  no good answers for it. Now, maybe she gave Congress
• 4:41
  better answers. We'll have to wait and see, but I'm
• 4:44
  not holding my breast. Democratic Representative Sujas Submarinium of Virginia
• 4:51
  and Melanie Stansbury of New Mexico said that Toavin o
• 4:54
  Well testified that Epstein received extra bed linens and a
• 4:58
  sea pat machine and had access to medications in a
• 5:01
  way no one else did. So why wasn't his cell tossed?
• 5:05
  You saw this stuff in there, you knew he wasn't
• 5:07
  supposed to have it. Why didn't you guys toss his cell?
• 5:10
  Who gave that command? And See, this is my biggest problem.
• 5:13
  There's a lot of people out there that are like, well,
• 5:15
  the files have been released, there's nothing there, Well, how
• 5:18
  about the names not being redacted? When it comes to
• 5:21
  is making the decisions? Unlike everybody else, I've moved to
• 5:25
  a different point in this case. Everybody's still trying to
• 5:28
  grapple with the heinousness and the draconian nature of what
• 5:32
  Jeffrey Epstein was doing when it comes to abuse. I've
• 5:36
  had seven years to grapple with that, and the one
• 5:38
  thing that I've learned is that we're never going to
• 5:41
  get these people on those hannous crimes. And the truth
• 5:43
  is people don't want to hear that. They want to
• 5:47
  hear about the salacious crimes. They want to hear about
• 5:49
  this one and that one and Tom Hanks and Donald Trump,
• 5:53
  and look, that's all part of the story. But there's
• 5:56
  so much more going on here. And if you want
• 5:59
  to talk about cis stomach corruption, then we have to
• 6:02
  look at mcc and we have to talk about the
• 6:04
  people who made these decisions. Because it didn't happen in
• 6:08
  a vacuum. Epstein wasn't putting these circumstances on his own.
• 6:13
  So who made the decision and why? And the allegations
• 6:18
  that Epstein was treated differently, those are true. He was.
• 6:22
  I think that there's plenty of evidence to point that out.
• 6:26
  A guy in the shoe having a sea pat machine,
• 6:29
  and let's not forget that that seapat machine has a chord.
• 6:33
  Why didn't he just use the chord to kill himself?
• 6:35
  Why did he need all those linens? That still hasn't
• 6:38
  been explained. I do think that Epstein was treated differently
• 6:42
  from the other inmates. Representative Submarinean said, when asked about
• 6:46
  Noel's testimony, Jeffrey Epstein got special treatment in that facility. Well,
• 6:51
  somebody should ask Bill Barr about that, and can somebody
• 6:55
  refresh my memory about who the president was at the time. Ah,
• 6:59
  that's right, good old Donnie Diddles. I'm sure he had
• 7:03
  nothing to do with it. I'm sure it's just all
• 7:05
  a big coincidence. I mean, come on, it's not like
• 7:07
  Trump has been unhinged about Epstein. It's not like Trump
• 7:12
  has been willing to burn all kinds of political capital
• 7:14
  to keep this stuff quiet. He would never do that, right, right,
• 7:20
  So who was making those decisions at the facility, at
• 7:22
  the BOP and at the MCC. I don't want to
• 7:26
  hear anything about a group of people making the decision either.
• 7:29
  That's why we went through the warden and his OIG statement.
• 7:33
  We heard his bullshit too, and breaking news. Nobody's buying it.
• 7:37
  Sub Romannum said he fully believes Epstein died from suicide,
• 7:41
  but he emphasized there are still open questions about how
• 7:44
  he was able to do so, and the whitewash begins, Well, look,
• 7:50
  Jeffrey Epstein, obviously you know he killed himself, and there's
• 7:53
  a lot of averarance to back it off. No, there's not.
• 7:56
  Where's the evidence. Let's see it. Missing minutes, a blob
• 8:00
  Lenen in the room nobody telling the right stories, everybody
• 8:03
  having a different story, nobody telling the truth. But sure,
• 8:08
  he one hundred percent killed himself. And it just so
• 8:11
  happens that that alleged note suicide note shows up right
• 8:15
  before Tovin Noel appears before Congress. I guess that's all
• 8:19
  just a coincidence, too, right, everything's a coincidence. Stop asking questions.
• 8:23
  It's time to move on. Have you seen the dow?
• 8:28
  The interview of Noel, believed to be the last person
• 8:30
  to have seen Epstein before his death, comes amid renewed
• 8:33
  scrutiny of Epstein's death. Oh, by who, there's no real scrutiny.
• 8:40
  If there was real scrutiny, we'd be having a real investigation.
• 8:43
  Every single one of those dudes that was in the
• 8:45
  shoe that night. Bring them up, every single guard, bring
• 8:49
  them up, every single person from the BOP who put
• 8:53
  their name to paper. When it comes to Epstein, having
• 8:56
  you know, the cell, the whole thing, they need to
• 8:59
  come up. If it's systemic, then we have to get
• 9:02
  to the bottom of it. Right, Are those people still
• 9:05
  in decision making roles? Are they still controlling the BP YO?
• 9:10
  I got questions? Epstein died by suicide, according to an
• 9:15
  autopsy conducted by the New York Medical Examiner, though a
• 9:18
  series of missteps by prison officials have long fueled conspiracy
• 9:22
  theories about his death, Just keep in mind that Jeffrey
• 9:26
  Epstein himself and everything we're talking about was considered a
• 9:30
  conspiracy theory eight months ago, nine months ago. So always
• 9:35
  keep that in mind. Okay, and remember the same people
• 9:37
  who are telling you that are telling you this now
• 9:41
  if you choose to believe them. Cool me personally, I'm
• 9:46
  going to need to see the work. I'm like that
• 9:48
  annoying ass math teacher that needs to see the work. Yeah,
• 9:51
  that's me. Noel also addressed a series of cash deposits
• 9:57
  she received between April twenty eighteen and July twenty nineteen,
• 10:01
  totaling twelve thousand dollars, with one last deposit made prior
• 10:05
  to Epstein's death. She said that the financial transfers have
• 10:08
  nothing to do with Epstein. Stansbury said, I think the
• 10:11
  only maybe new piece of information is that she does
• 10:14
  feel like her termination was unfair and that it had
• 10:17
  not been Jeffrey Epstein, she would not have been fired. Lady,
• 10:21
  you didn't do your rounds. You falsified government information, the
• 10:25
  level of entitlement with these CEOs at MCC and the
• 10:29
  way they all rallied around each other and their union
• 10:32
  reps showed up. There are not enough fuck yous in
• 10:34
  the world to give these people no self responsibility and
• 10:40
  the cherry on top. Now she's a victim. Oh I
• 10:42
  got fired. Oh the humanity of it all. How dare
• 10:45
  you fire me? On Tovia Owell? This lady has some nerve.
• 10:52
  Grand Jerry. Transcripts released from the case against Noel released
• 10:56
  by the DOJ earlier this year showed that the FBI
• 10:59
  examine into her bank records and found no evidence of
• 11:02
  a bribe. Oh well, in that case, neither Noel nor
• 11:06
  her lawyer commented. On Monday's interview with the House Oversight Panel,
• 11:10
  Subramnium said that he believed that Noel did commit wrongdoing
• 11:14
  by failing to carry out her job. She didn't check
• 11:18
  on Jeffrey Epstein like she should have, and that seemed
• 11:20
  to be a systemic issue at the facility. He said, no,
• 11:23
  it's not. How many of these other interviews have we
• 11:26
  went through where the CEO's lieutenants R and D whatever
• 11:31
  said that they never missed the check. They never fell asleep,
• 11:34
  So don't act like everybody was doing it. It happens
• 11:38
  every night, of course it doesn't. It just so happens
• 11:41
  that the night that Jeffrey Epstein dies, all of this occurs.
• 11:46
  But sure, I'm gonna believe it. I'm just gonna, you
• 11:49
  know what, believe the same people who have lied to
• 11:51
  me continuously about Jeffrey Epstein and everything else over the years.
• 11:57
  Noel is alleged to have spent the hours ahead of
• 11:59
  Epstein's death scrolling the Internet rather than performing the required
• 12:03
  head counts of the prisoners in the unit where the
• 12:06
  disgraced sex offender was housed. Prosecutors in twenty nineteen charged
• 12:11
  Nowell and another prison guard with falsifying records to make
• 12:14
  it seem as if they did the required checks, and
• 12:17
  both ended up reaching a deal with prosecutors to have
• 12:20
  the charges dropped. You know why, right, They didn't want
• 12:24
  them to testify. The whole idea is to protect the institution.
• 12:29
  A report on Epstein's death by the Justice Departments Inspector
• 12:33
  General Oh that was ro fund to read Huh what
• 12:35
  a joke, completed in twenty twenty three, determined that video
• 12:39
  showed at ten forty pm on August ninth, a corrections
• 12:42
  officer believed to be no Well, had carried b linen
• 12:45
  or in make clothing up to the tier containing Epstein's cell.
• 12:49
  That was the last time and the officer approached the
• 12:51
  tier where Epstein was housed. According to the IG report,
• 12:56
  I'm sure she never gave him any linen though, right, okay, cool, yeah,
• 13:00
  I believe that. In a sworn interview with the IG
• 13:03
  in June twenty twenty one, Noel said she never gave
• 13:06
  out lenin and denied providing Epstein with the excess linen
• 13:09
  found in his cell when his body was discovered. Somebody
• 13:12
  gave it to him. Who was it? If there is
• 13:15
  a big systemic issue at the jail, then we need
• 13:18
  to have a big investigation into the BOP. I don't
• 13:22
  think they thought this through because either way, the BOP,
• 13:26
  the DOJ, the government comes out looking like shit. And
• 13:29
  let's not forget the BOP's budget. They have plenty of money.
• 13:33
  She also told investigators that she did not remember searching
• 13:36
  the Internet for Epstein, but she may have read a
• 13:38
  news article. She said that she believed she was the
• 13:41
  last person to see Epstein alive at around ten PM
• 13:44
  on August ninth, according to a transcript of her interview
• 13:48
  with The IG. And that's why I'm posting that interview again,
• 13:52
  just to reiterate that I think it's important that we
• 13:55
  understand word for word what these people say. That way
• 13:59
  we know if they're lying when they come and give
• 14:01
  their little talk to Congress. And like usual, I'm going
• 14:03
  to reserve my judgment until we see the whole deposition
• 14:07
  right the transcript, But from what we've seen so far,
• 14:10
  not too confident that the right questions were asked and
• 14:13
  the right levers were pulled. So we'll see what we
• 14:17
  see when we get that transcript, and when we get it,
• 14:20
  I'll add it to the catalog. But until then, that's
• 14:22
  going to do it for this one. All the information
• 14:25
  that goes with this episode can be found in the
• 14:27
