Mega Edition: Why A Truly Independent Epstein Related Special Counsel Is Needed (5/3/26) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

0:00
Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
0:03
Epstein Chronicles. Do you want to know why I think
0:06
that we need a special counsel, Well, it's because we
0:09
live in a country where the President of the United
0:12
States can look the American people in the eye and
0:15
call the Jeffrey Epstein scandal a hoax. A hoax. Think
0:19
about that for a second. This isn't some petty campaign
0:23
squabble or a partisan grudge match we're talking about. This
0:26
is a case where a girls children were recruited, trafficked, abused, discarded,
0:31
and silenced. A case where the Department of Justice itself
0:35
struck a secret deal in the dark, a deal that
0:37
gave Epstein and his co conspirators a free pass while
0:41
the victims were shut out, And now, after years of
0:44
survivors clawing their way back into the light, after settlements
0:48
from billion dollar banks, after a federal judge himself said
0:52
the government violated the rights of those young women, the
0:54
President stands there and dismisses it all as fiction. When
0:58
the most powerful office in the land mocks the pain
1:02
of victims and trivializes one of the darkest scandals of
1:05
our time, the very idea of justice becomes a joke.
1:09
Survivors already endured abuse now have to endure the most
1:13
powerful man in America telling them their reality never happened.
1:17
Institutions that failed, banks, universities think tanks suddenly find cover
1:23
in the President's words. Enablers and gatekeepers can shrug off
1:26
questions and say, even the White House thinks it's a hoax,
1:31
and the rest of us were left to choke on
1:33
the stench of impunity. That is why a special Council
1:37
is not just an option, It's now a necessity, because
1:41
only a special council stands outside that toxic cloud of denial.
1:45
Only a special council has the independence to subpoena records,
1:48
flip witnesses, and drag the truth into daylight, no matter
1:51
how ugly it is. Only a special council can give
1:55
survivors what the President tried to take away, recognition, validation,
2:00
and the knowledge that their voices matter more than the
2:02
spin of the powerful. Without that independence, every decision the
2:06
DOJ makes will be poisoned by suspicion. Did they drop
2:10
the charge because of the facts or because the President
2:14
said it was all a hoax. Now, look, this is
2:16
not about politics. It's not about left or right. It's
2:19
about whether America still has the courage to look the
2:22
truth in the face when it's inconvenient, when it's ugly,
2:25
and when it implicates the wealthy and the well connected.
2:29
The Epstein scandal is not a hoax. It's a crime,
2:32
it's a betrayal, and it's a test of whether our
2:36
justice system can stand taller than the dismissive smirk of
2:39
a president. If we fail that test, then the message
2:42
to every victim in the country is clear, power wins,
2:45
truth loses, and justice was always just a fairy tale.
2:51
But if we appoint a special counsel, if we empower
2:54
someone to follow the facts wherever they lead, then at
2:57
least we can say we didn't let denial be the
2:59
final word. So let's stop pretending that this wound will
3:03
heal on its own. It won't. The only way forward
3:07
is independence, The only way forward is transparency. The only
3:12
way forward is a special council. Because if we can
3:15
muster the will to seek the truth in the face
3:18
of presidential gaslighting, then what's left of justice in America
3:23
is already gone. For years, that Jeffrey Epstein scandal is
3:27
lingered like a festering wound, never fully cleaned, never fully explained.
3:32
Each time a piece of truth surfaces, a settlement here
3:35
or a dacted document there, it feels less like resolution
3:39
and more like another reminder of how much remains buried.
3:43
The public is watched the Department of Justice stumble, the
3:46
Court's chastise, and the system stumble again, and still questions
3:50
remain unanswered. That's why the argument for a special council
3:54
isn't just strong, it's unavoidable. The very origins of this
3:59
mess demand in dependents. In two thousand and seven, federal
4:02
prosecutors cut a secret non prosecution agreement with Epstein, shielding
4:06
him and even some of his allegedal conspirators. Victims were
4:11
left in the dark, deprived of rights guaranteed under a
4:14
federal law, and a federal judge confirmed as much. Those
4:18
victims had been denied their voice. The Department of Justice
4:22
cannot be trusted to now investigate its own failure. Asking
4:26
the DOJ to police itself is asking the arsonists to
4:29
write the fire report. The breath of Epstein's crimes makes
4:34
the case even more compelling. He wasn't confined upon beach
4:38
orm Manhattan. His reach extended to New Mexico, the US,
4:41
Virgin Islands, Paris, and beyond. Civil lawsuits against global banks
4:46
have revealed money flows and enablers who look the other way.
4:50
Territorial attorneys general and private attorneys of pieced together fragments,
4:55
but no one has pulled the threads together. A special
4:58
counsel would bring coherence to chaos, wielding subpoena power and
5:02
grand jury authority across jurisdictions. Epstein's death and federal custody
5:08
underscored the rot. The department's own inspector General catalog shocking negligence,
5:14
guards of sleep cameras, malfunctioning paperwork falsified. Whether that was
5:19
in competence or corruption, the stain falls squarely on the
5:22
federal government, And because Epstein died on its watch, the
5:26
DOJ can no longer investigate this case without suspicion, clinging
5:30
to every conclusion. Only an independent council can step outside
5:35
that shadow. I remember, this isn't simply about Epstein demand
5:39
It's about the ecosystem that allowed them to thrive. From
5:43
financiers to academics, to socialites to scientists, his circle provided
5:48
legitimacy and cover some of fay, civil scrutiny, others reputational ruin,
5:53
but few any criminal reckoning, who enabled the recruiting pipeline,
5:58
who laundered the money, who obstructed or tampered with evidence
6:02
once the walls began closing in. These are questions that
6:06
only a prosecutor with immunity deals, wire taps, and the
6:10
ability to indict can answer. The victims have waited too long.
6:15
The Crime Rights Victims Act promised them transparency, consultation, and notice. Instead,
6:20
they were treated as afterthoughts. A special counsel could flip
6:24
that script, building an investigation where victims are engaged from
6:27
the start, not betrayed at the end. That would not
6:31
guarantee convictions, but it would guarantee dignity, a currency they
6:35
were long denied. Some will argue that the department can
6:38
handle it with internal teams, but history shows otherwise. Oversight reports,
6:43
civil settlements, scattered prosecutions. Each has left more questions and answers.
6:50
The only way to consolidate the narrative to provide finality
6:54
is through a single independent authority empowered to say these
6:58
crimes were pursued these were not. And here is why
7:03
the regulations governing special councils exist for cases exactly like this.
7:07
They speak of extraordinary circumstances and public interest. Epstein's scandal
7:13
is extraordinary, not only because of the crimes, but because
7:16
of the government's own complicity. The public interest couldn't be
7:20
clearer when the most powerful among us exploit the most vulnerable,
7:24
and institutions falter. Independence is the only way back to legitimacy,
7:29
and there's precedent. Special counsels have been appointed in matters
7:34
involving presidents, national politics, and sprawling conspiracies. If independence is
7:41
warranted to protect confidence in cases of political sensitivity, it's
7:45
doubly warranted here where confidence has already been shattered by
7:49
past failure. The regulations strike a balance independence with oversight,
7:56
freedom to investigate, but accountability through reports and budgets. The
8:00
money trail alone screams for independence. Civil discovery has pulled
8:05
back the curtain, showing how financial institutions overlooked or outright
8:09
enabled suspicious activity. But civil cases cannot compel testimony with
8:14
the force of perjury or offer plea deals in exchange
8:18
for cooperation. A special counsel can. Following the money to
8:22
its end will require tools that civil plaintiffs simply do
8:26
not have Appointing a special council is not about vengeance
8:31
or optics. It's about credibility. Every time a new revelation
8:35
emerges from hidden properties to seal depositions, the public recoils
8:40
not because Epstein's crimes are surprising, but because the system
8:44
still seems incapable of answering for them. A special counsel
8:48
would stand apart from those compromises tasks not with managing fallout,
8:52
but pursuing the truth, and this matters for the department itself.
8:58
Line prosecutors an age should not have to carry the
9:01
mistrust earned by their predecessors. By handing the reins to
9:06
a special council, the DOJ shields its career staff from
9:09
accusations of bias, freeing them to continue their ordinary work
9:13
without inheriting a deficit of trust they did not create.
9:18
And by design, the Epstein scandal is fractured into a patchwork.
9:22
A plea deal here, a suicide there, a conviction of
9:25
Glenn Maxwell, settlements with banks, reports with inspector generals. Each
9:30
thread tells part of the story, but no one has
9:33
woven them together without a special counsel that tapestry remains unfinished,
9:38
the holes glaring, the narrative incoherent. A Special Council's closing
9:43
report would finally provide the record that Congress, courts, and
9:46
the public deserve. It would explain who was charged, who
9:50
was not, and why. It would draw lines under questions
9:53
that otherwise will never die. In that sense, appointing one
9:58
is not just about accountability, about finality, and the stakes
10:03
ripple outward. Epstein's scandal has become a test case for
10:07
whether America can police trafficking at the highest levels when
10:11
money and power cloak predation in respectability. If the system
10:16
cannot deliver justice here, it sends a message that victims
10:21
everywhere cannot rely on it. That's not just a legal failure,
10:25
it's also a civic one. Even the specter of conspiracy
10:28
theory underscores the need. When people believe institutions have failed,
10:32
they fill the void with speculation. The antidote is not
10:36
mockery but transparency. A special council, with independence visible from
10:42
the start, offers the only path to conclusions that can
10:45
be trusted to stand on their own merits. This does
10:48
not mean that every elite friend of Epstein will be indicted,
10:51
or that every rumor will be confirmed. I mean, someone
10:55
with authority outside the compromised hierarchy will follow the facts
11:00
where they lead and explain what they found. That explanation
11:03
itself is the justice victims and the public deserve. Without it,
11:08
the wound festers. The Epstein scandal remains a story of impunity,
11:13
a man who exploited girls for decades, of institutions that
11:16
failed to stop them, and of a justice system that
11:19
broke faith with its own promises. Only a special counsel
11:23
can cleanse that wound. Only independence can restore even the
11:27
possibility of trust. In the end, appointing a special council
11:31
would not erase the failures of the past, but it
11:33
would mark a turning point, a statement that the government
11:36
is willing to hold itself to account. It would say
11:39
to victims and to the public that this time the
11:42
process will not be compromised, and that after everything is
11:46
the least that the nation is owed. All right, We're
11:49
going to wrap up episode one right here, and in
11:51
the next episode we're going to pick up where we
11:53
left off. All of the information that goes with this
11:56
episode can be found in the description box. What's up
12:00
Everyone and Welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles.
12:04
In this episode, we're going to pick right back up
12:06
talking about why I think that the Epstein situation requires
12:11
a special counsel. When a sitting president of the United
12:15
States publicly refers to the Epstein scandal as a hoax,
12:19
it doesn't just distort reality, it corrodes the very foundation
12:22
of accountability. Such statements are not made in a vacuum.
12:26
They ripple outward, shaping public perception, emboldening enablers, and discouraging
12:32
victims from believing that their voices will ever be taken seriously.
12:37
This makes the appointment of a special counsel not just desirable,
12:41
but absolutely essential. An independent prosecutor becomes the only counterweight
12:46
to a narrative that trivializes one of the darkest scandals
12:49
in modern history. Look, the President's words carry immense weight.
12:55
When he dismisses Epstein's crimes as a fabrication or a conspiracy,
12:59
it sends a chilling message to survivors who have already
13:03
endured the indignity of being silenced by prosecutors in the past.
13:08
Their trauma is effectively erased in real time by the
13:11
highest office in the land. That a rature demands a corrective,
13:16
a figure with authority and independence to prove through evidence
13:20
and indictments that this scandal is anything but a hoax.
13:24
This rhetoric from the Oval Office also empowers defenders of
13:28
institutions that failed. Banks, universities, think tanks, and even government
13:32
agencies that look the other way now find cover in
13:36
presidential denial. They can shrug off questions, pointing to the
13:40
president's words as justification foreign action. That is precisely why
13:45
a Special Council is needed to cut through the haze
13:48
of denial and force the facts into the daylight where
13:51
even presidential spin cannot obscure them. And the irony is
13:55
that dismissing the Epstein scandal as a hoax only deepens
13:58
public suspicion that something is being hidden. When people see
14:03
survivors testifying court settlements reached and aim surfacing in civil litigation,
14:08
yet here a president calling a fiction, they naturally assume
14:12
a cover up. A special Council can resolve that dissonance
14:16
by producing findings independent of political rhetoric, restoring a measure
14:20
of clarity to a story that has been deliberately muddied.
14:24
In a functioning democracy, words from the presidency should reassure
14:28
victims and reinforce the rule of law. Here, the opposite
14:32
is true. Survivors are being re traumatized, the public is
14:36
being gas lit, and trusted institutions is collapsing. Appointing a
14:41
special council is the antidote. A declaration that rule of
14:44
law stands taller than any dismissive sound bite from the
14:48
commander in chief. What's more, the president's framing of the
14:52
scandal as a hoax conveniently shields powerful allies who orbited
14:56
Epstein for years. By writing the entire saga aw off
15:00
as a falsehood, he spares scrutiny from those who socialized
15:04
with Epstein, traveled on his planes, or benefited from his donations.
15:08
A special council would not have the luxury of hiding
15:11
behind political convenience. They would be obligated to follow the facts,
15:15
even if those facts are uncomfortable for the White House.
15:19
The denial also undermines ongoing prosecutions in civil actions. Victims
15:24
fighting in court rooms should not have to wonder whether
15:27
the government that is supposed to protect them secretly views
15:30
their case as theater. By installing a special council, the
15:34
system separates itself from presidential rhetoric, sending the signal to judges, juries,
15:39
and victims that the truth will be pursued regardless of
15:43
political messaging. And look, this is not without president. Presidents
15:48
have downplayed scandals before, often in the hope of minimizing
15:52
political damage. But in those instances, independent investigators, whether special
15:57
prosecutors or councils, were the ones who restored creditability. The
16:01
same pattern applies here. Without independence, the official story bends
16:05
towards the president's narrative. With independence, it can stand on evidence,
16:11
and the danger of calling the scandal a hoax is
16:14
not just the damage it does today, it's the precedent
16:17
it sets. If presidents can dismiss crimes of trafficking and
16:21
exploitation is political theater. What stops future administrations from trivializing
16:26
other scandals, other abuses, other injustices. A special council ensures
16:32
that this precedent is broken, that truth is not subject
16:36
to political convenience. The victims themselves cannot be asked to
16:40
shoulder the burden. Many have already been ignored, silenced, or
16:43
treated as disposable for the president to now dismiss their
16:47
pain as part of a hoax is salt in an
16:50
open wound. A Special Council represents a counterbalance, a structure
16:54
where their testimony is evidence, not fodder for denial. The
16:58
broader culture also feel will the impact when presidential rhetoric
17:02
trivializes crimes the sexual exploitation, it discourages the victims across
17:06
the country from coming forward. If the most infamous trafficking
17:10
case in modern memory can be dismissed with the wave
17:13
of a hand, why would an ordinary victim believe their
17:16
case will ever matter. Independence in this moment is not
17:20
only about Epstein. It's about reaffirming that all victims deserve justice.
17:26
A Special Counsel's appointment would in effect draw a line
17:29
between rhetoric and reality. It would say, regardless of what
17:33
the President claims, the facts will be investigated, the evidence
17:37
will be pursued, and the truth will be written into
17:40
the record. That message matters not only for Epstein's case,
17:45
but for the credibility of the justice system itself. The
17:49
president's dismissals also complicate congressional oversight. Lawmakers trying to probe
17:54
the scandal face an executive branch that shrugs off the issue. Entirely,
17:59
But a Special Counsel Uncil has statutory independence, meaning their
18:02
work cannot simply be brushed aside by a dismissive sound bite.
18:07
Their findings, once made, must be reported to the Attorney
18:10
General and eventually to Congress, ensuring the record cannot be
18:14
erased by rhetoric. Moreover, presidential denial risk contaminating future juries.
18:20
If people hear the scandal called the hoax from the
18:22
highest office, they may be less inclined to believe the
18:25
victims in court. This taints the very possibility of fair trials.
18:30
A Special Council, by building cases grounded in overwhelming evidence,
18:34
can counteract that effect, ensuring jury see fact rather than politics.
18:39
The global dimension makes this denial even more damaging. Epstein's
18:44
crime span borders, and international observers watch how the United
18:48
States handles them. When the President mocks the scandal, it
18:52
signals to the world that America tolerates impunity for its elites.
18:56
A Special Council's work, by contrast, would demonstrate that the
19:00
US can rise above partisan trivialization to pursue justice. The
19:07
hoax narrative also emboldens disinformation. Already alternative stories about Epstein's swirl,
19:13
some conspiratorial, some defective. When the President fuels that fog
19:18
by dismissing the scandal altogether, it gives oxygen to falsehoods.
19:23
A special council is the only mechanism capable of cutting
19:27
through the noise with hard evidence and legal accountability. And
19:31
for the survivors, this rhetoric is not abstract. It's personal.
19:35
They know what happened to them, they live through it.
19:38
To hear the President say it's all a hoax is
19:40
to hear the most powerful men in the country deny
19:43
their very reality. Only an independent investigator, operating above politics,
19:48
can give them back the validation they deserve. For the
19:52
Department of Justice, the denial creates yet another layer of conflict.
19:56
If the President insists the scandal is fictional, DOJ leadership
20:00
may feel political pressure to soft pedal further investigation. By
20:04
appointing a special council. The Attorney General insulates the Department
20:08
from that pressure, ensuring the work continues regardless of presidential opinion. Ultimately,
20:14
the presidential denial makes the case for independent stronger, not weaker.
20:18
Every time he calls the scandal a hoax, he reinforces
20:21
why the investigation cannot remain in ordinary channels. At this point,
20:26
independence is not just preferable, but it's mandatory if the
20:30
nation wants to emerge from this scandal with its credibility intact.
20:35
And the choice is clearer. Either the United States allows
20:38
the Epstein scandal to be buried under presidential rhetoric, or
20:42
it appoints a special council to prove once and for
20:44
all that this was not a hoax, not a fabrication,
20:47
but a crime against the vulnerable that demands full accounting.
20:51
The survivors deserve that much, the public deserves that much,
20:55
and the rule of law cannot survive without it. So
20:59
look the moment a president calls the Epstein scandal a hoax,
21:03
the entire machinery of government credibility begins to buckle. It's
21:07
one thing for political commentators to downplay or distort, it's
21:11
something else entirely when the Oval Office itself turns a
21:15
crime against children into a punchline. This is where the
21:18
line must be drawn. Without a special counsel, there is
21:21
no counterweight strong enough to push back against such coros
21:24
of denial, and this rhetoric doesn't just insult the victims,
21:28
it undermines the public ability to trust any institution tied
21:32
to the case. If the President says it's fake, then
21:36
any decision to prosecute further becomes suspect. Where prosecutors restrained
21:40
by facts or by politics, did they decline charges because
21:44
evidence was insufficient or because they didn't want to contradict
21:48
the president without a special counsel. These doubts metastasized into
21:52
permanent distrust, and the problem is that presidential speech has
21:57
global impact. Epstein's network had international dimensions victims from Eastern Europe,
22:03
South America and beyond. When foreign governments here the president
22:08
calling the case fiction, it signals that America is unwilling
22:12
to confront predation within its own elite. How can the
22:16
United States claim moral authority on human rights if its
22:19
leader mocks one of the worst trafficking scandals in modern history. Well,
22:25
only an independent investigation can salvage that credibility. The denial
22:30
also corrodes the culture of law. Enforcement Agents and prosecutors
22:35
should be emboldened to follow leads wherever they go. But
22:38
when president mocks the scandal is the hoax, it chills initiative.
22:43
Who wants to be the agent who contradicts the president
22:46
who wants a risk career suicide chasing a case the
22:49
White House has already dismissed. A special council removes that fear,
22:54
insulating investigators from political headwinds. For the survivors, the damage
22:59
is the measurable. They've already endured abuse, betrayal, and the
23:03
collapse of the justice system in two thousand and eight.
23:06
They came forward again in twenty nineteen, only to see
23:09
Epstein die in custody, and now they hear a president
23:13
telling the world it was all a hoax. Each step
23:17
compounds the trauma. Appointing a special Council is not just
23:20
about justice. It's about restoring a sense of recognition to
23:24
women who have been denied it for decades. The courts
23:28
themselves need clarity. Judges who preside over Epstein related cases
23:33
now face a backdrop of presidential denial. Their rulings risk
23:37
being perceived through a political lens favoring the White House
23:41
if they dismiss opposing it, if they allow cases to proceed.
23:46
A special council cuts through that by presenting the evidence
23:49
with prosecutorial independence, making outcomes about law, not politics, and look,
23:54
the stakes extend far beyond Epstein. If the system bends
23:59
to present psidential rhetoric. Here than any scandal can be
24:02
dismissed as fiction by executive fiat. That precedent is lethal
24:07
to democracy. It means the truth is only as strong
24:10
as the president's willingness to acknowledge it. A special counsel
24:14
would restore the principle that the law stands higher than politics,
24:18
higher than denial, higher than power itself. The president's words
24:24
also hand ammunition to enablers who want to escape accountability.
24:28
Every financier, socialite, and gatekeeper who helped Epstein now has
24:32
the perfect deflection. The president says, it's all a hoax.
24:37
With that shield, they can dismiss subpoenas, avoid questions, and
24:41
muddy proceedings. Even more dangerous is the chilling effect on
24:45
future victims of exploitation. If the most infamous case of
24:49
trafficking in modern history is mocked from the White House,
24:52
why would other victims ever come forward. The message is
24:56
that power always wins, that testimony will be ridiculed, that
25:00
will be denied, And there is also the cross of
25:03
effect on public discourse. Conspiracies thrive when official denials collide
25:08
with undeniable evidence. The survivors exist the flights happened, the
25:13
settlements were paid, the bank's row checks in the hundreds
25:16
of millions. When the President calls all of that a hoax,
25:20
it does not erase it. It deepens the public's conviction
25:23
that something even darker is being hidden. The argument that
25:27
the public will move on collapses under scrutiny. The Epstein
25:32
scandal refuses to fade, precisely because it was never fully investigated.
25:37
Every dismissal, every denial, every minimization adds fuel to the fire.
25:43
Presidential denial also poisons congress oversight role. Lawmakers attempting to
25:48
investigate the scandal face immediate dismissal from the executive branch,
25:53
which waves away the whole matter is fantasy. And then
25:57
there is the cross of impact on young people watching
25:59
it on. They see survivors dismissed, evidence, ignored, crimes minimized,
26:05
all because the accused moved in elite circles. When the
26:08
president reinforces that dismissal, it teaches the next generation that
26:12
the system is rigged beyond repair, and none of that
26:15
should be about partisanship. The crimes of Epstein transcend politics.
26:20
His victims came from across backgrounds, and continents. His network
26:25
touched both sides of the aisle. The dismissal of the
26:27
scandal as a hoax is not a partisan shield. It's
26:31
an insult to the very concept of justice. To allow
26:35
presidential denial to stand unchallenged is to accept impunity as normal.
26:39
It means conceding that truth is negotiable and that justice
26:43
is optional, and that path leads to cynicism, despair, and
26:48
ultimately the collapse of public faith in democracy itself. While
26:52
appointing a special council will not magically restore what's been lost.
26:56
The failures of two thousand and eight cannot be undone.
26:59
The tragedy of Epstein's death cannot be reversed, The survivor
27:03
stolen years cannot be given back. But what can be
27:07
done is to demonstrate that denial at the highest level
27:10
will not stop the law from moving forward. That's the
27:14
power of independence. A special counsel would stand outside the
27:18
reach of presidential mockery, driven not by speeches but by subpoenas,
27:23
not by tweets, but by indictments. That structural independence is
27:27
the only safeguard left against the erosion of truth. And
27:31
make no mistake, denial itself is evidence of why this
27:35
mechanism exists. The regulations vision moments when politics and justice
27:40
collide so violently that only separation can preserve legitimacy. The
27:45
Epstein scandal, dismissed as a hoax by the President, is
27:48
exactly that moment, and in the end, the choice is stark.
27:53
Either the United States proves that no one, not even
27:56
the President, not even the most connected predator in modern history,
27:59
can bury the truth under denial, or it admits that
28:03
power will always smother justice. Appointing a special Council is
28:08
how the nation chooses the former path. It's the last
28:12
chance to slam the door on impunity and restore faith
28:15
that justice, even delayed, can still prevail. And so as
28:20
the President mocks and the survivor's wait, the case for
28:23
independence could not be clear. This scandal is not a hoax.
28:27
It's a crime. It's a betrayal. It's a test of
28:30
whether the United States will stand by its victims or
28:33
by its elites. All of the information that goes with
28:36
this episode can be found in the description box. What's up, everyone,
28:41
and welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. I
28:46
think it's relatively apparent at this point that the Department
28:49
of Justice under the Trump administration has no desire to
28:54
get to the bottom of what happened with Jeffrey Epstein.
28:58
And we know that for sure now as they say,
29:01
there's no investigations currently going on into Jeffrey Epstein's co
29:05
conspirators or into the remnants of his criminal empire. And
29:11
that's the main reason that I've been calling for a
29:14
special Council from the very beginning. There is no scenario
29:18
where the Department of Justice can be trusted to do
29:21
the right thing when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, and
29:25
they've proven that time and time again, and now finally
29:28
somebody in Congress is calling for a special council as well.
29:32
And look, I'm not going to sit here and tell
29:34
you that I'm a big fan of Ted lou I
29:36
am not. In fact, I'm not a fan of any
29:38
of these people, as you know. But that doesn't mean
29:40
that he's wrong about this issue, because I think he's right.
29:45
And if there's ever been a time for a special Council,
29:49
the time is now. And I'm talking about a full
29:53
on colonoscopy of the Jeffrey Epstein situation. Everybody that's ever
29:59
been credit accused under investigation, a full robust investigation, and
30:05
not just into Jeffrey Epstein's criminal behavior, and not just
30:09
into his criminal ties, but into all the people that
30:13
let it occur, into all the people that signed off
30:17
on the deals, into everybody that helped Jeffrey Epstein get
30:21
away with this shit for so long. And if we
30:24
pull on that thread, inevitably, what we're gonna find is
30:28
that Jeffrey Epstein was being protected the whole entire time.
30:32
And that's why they're fighting tooth andel to keep all
30:34
of this under wraps. And the only way to get
30:37
to the bottom of it is to have an independent
30:39
special counsel who is prepared to follow this wherever it leads.
30:45
So today we have an article from Newsweek and the
30:49
headline Epstein files update lou calls for special counsel over
30:54
the Trump claims. Look, it's not just about Trump, though.
30:57
That's the big problem with Louy things about Trump. Trump
31:01
Trump Trump, And look, I get it, people don't like him,
31:06
and that's very understandable. But if you make it just
31:09
about Donald Trump, we're going to remain a neutral spinning
31:12
our wheels. Now, Trump has to be part of the story,
31:15
and this cover up is certainly part of the story.
31:18
But to say that you want a special council just
31:21
because of Trump and the claims, that's not good enough
31:24
for me, Ted Lou. What about everything else that's occurred. Remember,
31:29
Trump is only a symptom of a greater problem. So
31:33
ted Lu's on the right track here, but he needs
31:35
to expand his scope because I promise you it wasn't
31:39
just Trump. This article was authored by Kate Plummer, California Democrat.
31:46
Ted Lou has called for a special counsel to investigate
31:49
Attorney General Pambondi after the Department of Justice released previously
31:54
unreleased memos related to allegations against President Donald Trump. And look,
32:00
ted Lou is not wrong at least when it comes
32:02
to the fact that a special investigator or a special
32:04
council is needed. But for that to occur, we're gonna
32:07
need bipartisan support. So if all you're doing is saying
32:10
it's about Donald Trump, then you know you're not going
32:12
to get any of those Republicans to get on board,
32:15
None of them. So even if your motivation is to
32:18
go after Donald Trump, and if you think that you're
32:21
gonna hit pay dirt, if you do so, then you
32:24
should frame it like you care about the whole entire
32:27
situation and not just Trump. But people like Ted lou
32:33
they have tunnel vision and they can't see the bigger
32:36
picture here. The DOJ release three FBI memos related to
32:44
unverified sexual assault allegations against Trump on Thursday, following media
32:48
reports that these files had not been included in the
32:52
tranch of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein
32:56
that had already been made public. So that has to
32:59
be answered, right, There's no doubt about it, And the
33:02
DOJ doesn't have any good answer, not in my opinion,
33:07
just more nonsense, more narrative building, and more kicking the
33:10
can down the road. But that's not gonna cut it.
33:13
They need to answer questions and the only way to
33:15
get them to do that in a manner that matters
33:20
is to have a special counsel do it. Because they're
33:22
gonna lie. I'm telling you right now, they're gonna lie.
33:24
They're just gonna say whatever they want. Look at how
33:27
Pam Bondy acted, and that's because they know that they're
33:30
being protected by a pardon. That's really what it comes
33:34
down to. Do you really think Pam Bondy would have
33:38
been wild and out like that if there was no
33:40
pardon stop it. She knows better, and she knows she's
33:44
perjuring herself. She's seen the files and she's seen stuff
33:48
we haven't even seen, so she knows better. The problem
33:52
is there's no fear of any kind of repercussions because
33:56
Donald Trump's just gonna partner. And that's why they're so
33:58
brazenly engaging in this cover up. Several media outlets reported
34:04
on the existence of files relating to a woman who
34:07
alleged in an interview in twenty nineteen that Trump forced
34:11
her to perform oral sex and struck her in the
34:14
head in the eighties after Epstein introduced them. These claims
34:18
have not been substantiated. Well, the problem is when you
34:22
pull them down, you provide fertile ground for a bunch
34:25
of theories to pop up. So whose fault is it?
34:28
Once again, the dojs. Remember they're in control. The DOJ
34:33
has all the power here and they've chosen to give
34:36
us the bare minimum. And that's not acceptable. None of
34:40
it's acceptable, not in my opinion. So if they can't
34:44
be forced to do the right thing, then it's up
34:47
to us to make sure that there's some kind of
34:49
oversight and somebody that can hold their feet to the fire.
34:52
And who can do that, Well, a special council, that's who.
34:56
And I'm not talking about your run of the mill
34:58
special council. I'm talking about bringing in a heavy hitter
35:01
from the outside, someone like Alan Jackson Andrew Brettler, you know,
35:07
in that realm. Pay them a shit ton of money,
35:11
and let's get to work, because this shit right here
35:15
is not acceptable to me. And the fact that more
35:19
people aren't calling for a special counsel is bananas. Trump
35:24
has consistently denied any wrongdoing in connection to Epstein, saying
35:28
their friendship ended in the early two thousands. Being named
35:32
in the Epstein files is not an indication of wrongdoing,
35:36
and the White House has called the allegations false and sensationalist. Well,
35:40
that's true. Being in the files doesn't make you guilty,
35:45
but it sure does raise some questions, doesn't it. And
35:48
my problem has always been these people have known about
35:52
their relationship with Epstein, and they ran from it from
35:54
all these years. But now all of a sudden, when
35:57
they're outed and the public's interested, Oh, they have some
36:01
excuses right, Oh, I hardly knew him, only for us
36:04
to find out that that's a lie as well. So
36:09
all the people that are in the files, of course
36:12
they're not, you know, guilty of crimes right off the
36:15
bat because they're in the files. That's crazy. If you
36:18
had some dinner with Epstein doesn't mean you're guilty. Now.
36:21
It might make you a dumb fuck, right, and it
36:23
might make you a disgusting person if you're doing that
36:26
after he's been convicted, But that doesn't make you a criminal.
36:31
But here's the problem. There's never been a good enough
36:34
investigation for us to suss out who's a criminal and
36:37
who's not. So the only way to get there at
36:42
this point is to have a special counsel. The DOJ
36:46
has proven they can't do it, and not just this DJ,
36:50
the DJ in general, year after year, decade after decade.
36:55
So at some point, enough is enough, right, At some
36:57
point the rubber has to meet the road and we
37:02
have to throw the gauntlet down. And I think that
37:04
point has arrived, So in my opinion, now's the time
37:09
for a special council. Writing on X after the DOJ
37:14
released the files, Lou accused Bondi of lying under oath
37:17
about the files. I agree with that. I think Pam
37:20
Bondi has been lying to us from the very beginning,
37:22
and I think she continues to do so. And I
37:24
guarantee you if a special Council is appointed, they're going
37:28
to focus on the cover up, I promise you, because
37:32
that's where the meat and potatoes are at this point.
37:34
Of course, the other stuff is the most horrendous, the
37:37
most vile, disgusting shit that a human being can do
37:41
to another human being. But this is where the paper
37:45
trail is. And if you start pulling on this, those
37:48
other doors are going to open. And that's why a
37:52
special Council is so important here, because they're going to
37:55
dig everywhere, and if we give them the kind of
37:58
power they need forget, we might actually have a chance
38:02
to whole people accountable, he wrote. Ag Bondi led under oath.
38:07
In her hearing, she stated there is no evidence that
38:10
Donald Trump has committed a crime. DOJ posted three FBI
38:14
interviews related to sexual assault allegations against Trump. That's evidence. Well, okay,
38:20
but that's just one instance. Pam Bondi is lied about
38:24
the whole damn thing, he added, appearing to refer to
38:27
new York Democrat Dan Goldman Representative Goldman and I have
38:32
requested a special counsel to investigate. The DOJ referred Newsweek
38:37
to a section of a January press release that said,
38:40
this production may include fake or falsely submitted images, documents,
38:44
or videos, as everything that was sent to the FBI
38:48
by the public was included in the production that is
38:51
responsive to the Act. Some of the documents contain untrue
38:55
and sensationalist claims against President Trump that were submitted to
38:59
the FBI before the twenty twenty election. To be clear,
39:03
the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had
39:06
a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized
39:09
against President Trump. Already cool perfect special council to get
39:13
to the bottom of it, because breaking news. I don't
39:17
trust the DOJ, I don't trust PAMBONDI, and I don't
39:21
trust President Trump. More than three million pages of documents
39:26
related to Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died in
39:29
a New York jail in twenty nineteen while waiting further charges,
39:33
were released by the Justice Department under the Epstein Files
39:37
Transparency Act after widespread clamor for more transparency. While the
39:43
DOJ could redact parts of the files. The new claims
39:46
about Trump will draw scrutiny about his conduct and raise
39:49
questions about why the DOJ did not initially publish the documents. Bingo,
39:54
that's what we should be focused on, because if we
39:57
focus on that, all the other stuff, the select vicious
40:00
stuff will come into focus. I'm telling you that's how
40:03
this works. If you just jump from A to Z
40:07
and you don't do all the work in between, you're
40:10
not going to get anywhere. The lead about Trump allegations
40:13
was included in an internal FBI PowerPoint slide deck detailing
40:18
prominent names in the Jeffrey Epstein and Glenn Maxwell investigation
40:23
last fall. Democratic US Representative Robert Garcia of California last
40:28
month said he had reviewed the unredacted documents available to
40:32
members of Congress and said some files listed in an
40:36
official log appeared to be missing. The Justice Department was
40:40
allowed to redact records in specific instances, including documents that
40:44
would jeopardize an active federal investigation or ongoing prosecution. We
40:50
know that's not happening. They stated it themselves, So that's
40:53
one less reason they have to keep things redacted and
40:58
from the American public contain personally identifiable information about victims
41:05
that would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.
41:13
White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson previously told Newsweek. Just as
41:17
President Trump has said, he's been totally exonerated on anything
41:21
relating to Epstein, and by releasing thousands of pages of documents,
41:26
cooperating with the House Oversight Committee subpoena request, signing the
41:29
Epstein Files Transparency Act, and calling for more investigations into
41:34
Epstein's Democrat friends, President Trump has done more for the
41:38
Epstein victims than anyone before him. Meanwhile, Democrats like Alqim
41:43
Jeffreys and Stacy Plaskett have yet to explain why they
41:46
were soliciting money and meetings from Epstein after he was
41:50
a convicted sex offender. Maybe somebody should ask your boy,
41:53
Ben Black the same question. Why was your dad literally
41:58
in bed with Jeffrey Epstein? And then why would Donald
42:01
Trump bring that dude into the administration? Seems like a
42:04
bad idea. No, then again, if you look around, plenty
42:09
of people that were adjacent to Jeffrey Epstein are part
42:12
of Donald Trump's administration. Considering that and everything else, we know.
42:16
How can anyone be confident that this DOJ is going
42:19
to do the right thing? And that's why it's time
42:22
to stop all the bullshit and appoint the Special Counsel.
