Latest / The Epstein Chronicles / Mega Edition: Jeffrey Epstein And The Biggest Sham In American Law Enforcement History (8/30/26)
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What's up everyone and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
- 0:05Speaker 1: We've recently been talking a lot about Jeffrey Epstein and
- 0:08Speaker 1: his alleged cooperation with the federal government when it comes
- 0:12Speaker 1: to being an informant. And I don't think there's any
- 0:15Speaker 1: doubt at this point that he was actually working in
- 0:18Speaker 1: that capacity. We have court documents stating such. We have
- 0:23Speaker 1: the report from the Miami Herald that turned up the
- 0:26Speaker 1: records that show that Jeffrey Epstein cooperated to prosecute executives
- 0:32Speaker 1: at Bear Stearns. And we all know Jeffrey Epstein was
- 0:35Speaker 1: working at Bear Stearns and with Bear Stearns during this
- 0:38Speaker 1: financial crisis. So how is it that your partners get
- 0:42Speaker 1: hemmed up, they get caught up in the dragnet, they
- 0:45Speaker 1: end up getting in trouble, but you, once again, avoid
- 0:49Speaker 1: all of the trouble. Somehow keep your head above water,
- 0:52Speaker 1: keep treading and doggy paddling until somebody throws you a
- 0:56Speaker 1: life preserver. And that somebody was the FBI, according to
- 1:00Speaker 1: these documents, And once you start working as a confidential
- 1:04Speaker 1: informant for the federal government, a whole new world opens
- 1:07Speaker 1: up to you. You have a lot of protection. You
- 1:10Speaker 1: have a lot of people that you can refer to
- 1:12Speaker 1: and rely on. Just take a look at Whitey Bulger
- 1:15Speaker 1: and how he was able to move throughout the system
- 1:18Speaker 1: for so long being protected by the government. Not only
- 1:21Speaker 1: was he protected for his financial crimes, he was actually
- 1:25Speaker 1: out there killing people and the FBI was still protecting him.
- 1:29Speaker 1: So there's people who want to believe that the FBI
- 1:31Speaker 1: wouldn't get into bed with somebody like Jeffrey Epstein, but
- 1:34Speaker 1: they will. And they have. And they'll continue to do so.
- 1:38Speaker 1: Because they feel like the means justifies the end. And
- 1:42Speaker 1: for me, I don't buy it at all. When it
- 1:45Speaker 1: comes to the abuse of vulnerable people, the abuse of children,
- 1:49Speaker 1: the abuse of minors, hell, the abuse of anyone, I've
- 1:52Speaker 1: had enough. And Jeffrey Epstein was doing it for decades
- 1:58Speaker 1: and he was being protected while he was doing it. Now, again,
- 2:02Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit up here and tell you, oh,
- 2:04Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein was a CIA agent and, you know, he
- 2:07Speaker 1: went to Quantico or wherever the hell the CIA goes
- 2:10Speaker 1: and trained. That's not what I'm saying. What I am
- 2:13Speaker 1: saying is he's an asset and he was being run
- 2:15Speaker 1: by various people at various levels of the government. Who
- 2:20Speaker 1: those people were? Well, that, my friends, is certainly up
- 2:25Speaker 1: for debate. You know what's not up for debate, though?
- 2:28Speaker 1: If Jeffrey Epstein was an informant. I think we could
- 2:30Speaker 1: put that one to bed. And today we have another
- 2:33Speaker 1: article right into that vein. Headline. Pedophile millionaire dodged harsh
- 2:40Speaker 1: sentence by ratting out Bear Stearns executives. This article was
- 2:44Speaker 1: authored by Bruce Golding, and it was published November 28th
- 2:49Speaker 1: of 2018, before Jeffrey Epstein's second arrest, by the way.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Multimillionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein secretly served as a key federal
- 3:00Speaker 1: witness against two hedge fund managers around the time he
- 3:04Speaker 1: cut the sweetheart deal that let him avoid federal child
- 3:07Speaker 1: sex trafficking charges and served just 13 months in a
- 3:10Speaker 1: Florida jail, according to a new report on Wednesday. So
- 3:15Speaker 1: how does that sit with you folks? Doesn't sit very
- 3:19Speaker 1: good with me. They were so interested in going after
- 3:24Speaker 1: these executives from Bear Stearns that they were willing to
- 3:27Speaker 1: let Jeffrey Epstein walk. Think about that for a minute.
- 3:31Speaker 1: You guys are going to give Epstein this sweetheart deal
- 3:34Speaker 1: if he'll turn snitch and canary to you. And we
- 3:38Speaker 1: all know Epstein ain't somebody who worries about other folks.
- 3:41Speaker 1: It's all about self-preservation, right? If snitching means he's going
- 3:44Speaker 1: to be able to keep it moving, then snitching it's
- 3:47Speaker 1: going to be. Because Jeffrey Epstein is not out here
- 3:51Speaker 1: trying to take the fall. We saw it with Hoffenberg,
- 3:54Speaker 1: and then we saw it again here with Barron Stearns.
- 3:57Speaker 1: So how is it that Jeffrey Epstein is able to
- 4:00Speaker 1: avoid all of these dragnets, all of these federal investigations,
- 4:04Speaker 1: and prosecution by the federal government, who usually has no
- 4:07Speaker 1: problem prosecuting anybody? Ask yourselves why. A year-long investigation by
- 4:18Speaker 1: the Miami Herald turned up records that show Epstein, who
- 4:21Speaker 1: is one of the fund's largest investors, cooperated in the
- 4:24Speaker 1: prosecution of a pair of executives at now-defunct Bear Stearns
- 4:28Speaker 1: financial firm and received valuable consideration from providing investigators with
- 4:34Speaker 1: unspecified information. Now, imagine having this scumbag, Jeffrey Epstein, who's
- 4:40Speaker 1: out here raping, molesting, laundering money, you name it, Showing
- 4:45Speaker 1: up and talking about here, I'm here to help the government. What,
- 4:47Speaker 1: you don't think that was about protecting himself later on
- 4:50Speaker 1: down the road? You don't think this was all about
- 4:53Speaker 1: later when he knew he was eventually going to get
- 4:56Speaker 1: popped for his proclivities? He wanted to have this in
- 4:59Speaker 1: the bank, right? This armor in the bank. It's just
- 5:01Speaker 1: like with the charities. So Jeffrey Epstein can go to
- 5:05Speaker 1: his buddies at the FBI, whoever his handler is, and
- 5:08Speaker 1: believe me, he had a handler. There is somebody out
- 5:10Speaker 1: there right now who handled Jeffrey Epstein who was lying
- 5:13Speaker 1: to us about everything. That's right, somebody in the government
- 5:17Speaker 1: was Jeffrey Epstein's handler. That's how this works. Who that
- 5:20Speaker 1: person was, I have no idea. But this person knew
- 5:25Speaker 1: exactly the kind of serpent Epstein was, knew what he
- 5:28Speaker 1: was up to, and knew the kind of disgusting behavior
- 5:32Speaker 1: he was engaging in. And none of that mattered, as
- 5:35Speaker 1: long as they could get more information from Jeffrey Epstein.
- 5:42Speaker 1: Emails show that then-Miami U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, who is
- 5:46Speaker 1: now President Trump's Secretary of Labor, and the lead prosecutor
- 5:51Speaker 1: in the case agreeing to help Epstein's high-powered defense lawyers
- 5:54Speaker 1: try to contain the scandal sparked by his 2006 arrest
- 5:58Speaker 1: in Palm Beach, according to The Herald. So we know
- 6:02Speaker 1: all of that already. The whole Acosta thing has been
- 6:05Speaker 1: beaten into the ground. And as far as I'm concerned,
- 6:08Speaker 1: Acosta was just another useful idiot. in a long line
- 6:12Speaker 1: of useful idiots. The real problem goes to the top.
- 6:16Speaker 1: The real problem could be found in Mukasey's office. On
- 6:23Speaker 1: an avoid-the-press note, I can file the charge in district
- 6:26Speaker 1: court in Miami, which will hopefully cut the press coverage significantly.
- 6:30Speaker 1: Do you want to check that out? Assistant U.S. Attorney
- 6:33Speaker 1: Marie Villafana wrote in September 2007 to defense lawyer Jay Lefkowitz,
- 6:39Speaker 1: a former colleague of Acosta's, At the Kirkland & Ellis
- 6:42Speaker 1: Law Firm. Now I'm sure you're all familiar with Kirkland
- 6:45Speaker 1: & Ellis. These are the lawyers that have been out here,
- 6:47Speaker 1: you know, defending Trump, defending all these other people. But
- 6:52Speaker 1: there is a problem, a rotting problem at Kirkland & Ellis.
- 6:57Speaker 1: Just like at Perkins Coie, same thing over at Kirkland
- 7:01Speaker 1: & Ellis. I'm so tired of these lawyers getting involved
- 7:03Speaker 1: into our political system, manipulating things, protecting people, hiding bullshit.
- 7:10Speaker 1: It's a big problem. And Kirkland and Ellis personify that problem,
- 7:14Speaker 1: in my opinion. The following month, Acosta met with Lefkowitz
- 7:20Speaker 1: for breakfast at a Marriott hotel in West Palm Beach,
- 7:23Speaker 1: 70 miles from Acosta's office, to negotiate terms of Epstein's
- 7:28Speaker 1: non-prosecution agreement with the feds, according to the Herald. Once
- 7:32Speaker 1: the pact was struck, Epstein, whose hosted former president Bill Clinton,
- 7:37Speaker 1: British Prime, British Prince Andrew and others at his own
- 7:41Speaker 1: private Caribbean island, pleaded guilty to two felony prostitution charges
- 7:45Speaker 1: in state court, even though the feds identified 36 underage
- 7:49Speaker 1: girls who accused Epstein, then a powerful pal of Clinton
- 7:53Speaker 1: and Prince Andrew, of sexually abusing them. in his Palm
- 7:56Speaker 1: Beach mansion between 2001 and 2005, the Herald said. So
- 8:02Speaker 1: why would Jeffrey Epstein be protected here? And why would
- 8:06Speaker 1: someone like Acosta be told to back off? Remember, that's
- 8:08Speaker 1: what happened. The only reason is that Jeffrey Epstein was
- 8:14Speaker 1: being run as an asset for the United States federal government.
- 8:18Speaker 1: It's the only logical reason. A Labor Department spokeswoman didn't
- 8:25Speaker 1: immediately return a request for comment, but Acosta was questioned
- 8:29Speaker 1: about Epstein's plea deal during his U.S. Senate confirmation hearing
- 8:33Speaker 1: in March 2017. Although he said he couldn't discuss the
- 8:37Speaker 1: details of the case, Acosta said the decision not to
- 8:40Speaker 1: file federal charges was a broadly held decision in his office.
- 8:45Speaker 1: You know what that means? A broadly held decision for
- 8:47Speaker 1: the D.A., So the whole entire prosecutor's office up top
- 8:51Speaker 1: in D.C., Mukasey and company, made that call. Anyone who
- 8:56Speaker 1: thinks that a junior prosecutor like Acosta is making that
- 8:59Speaker 1: call is just bananas. He is not making that call.
- 9:05Speaker 1: As part of any plea, it is not unusual to
- 9:07Speaker 1: have an indictment that says, these are all the places
- 9:11Speaker 1: we can go, yet at the end of the day,
- 9:13Speaker 1: based on the evidence, professionals within a prosecutor's office decide
- 9:17Speaker 1: that the plea that guarantees that someone goes to jail,
- 9:20Speaker 1: that guarantees that someone registers as a sex offender generally,
- 9:24Speaker 1: and that guarantees other outcomes, is a good thing, he said. No,
- 9:27Speaker 1: it's not. Not in this case. There's no gaslighting in
- 9:31Speaker 1: the world, no amount of gaslighting in the world, that'll
- 9:33Speaker 1: ever change the fact that you guys screwed up. That
- 9:36Speaker 1: first prosecution in Florida was an absolute embarrassment. And the
- 9:40Speaker 1: fact that Jeffrey Epstein walked and was able to commit
- 9:42Speaker 1: crimes afterwards is a black mark on you, the system,
- 9:46Speaker 1: and every single prosecutor that's ever been involved. And don't
- 9:49Speaker 1: even get me started on whoever this dude's handler is,
- 9:52Speaker 1: because whoever that is, that is one scummy SOB. But
- 9:57Speaker 1: I don't think there's any doubt in anyone's mind at
- 10:00Speaker 1: this point that Jeffrey Epstein was being run as an asset,
- 10:03Speaker 1: and I think we can confirm at the very least
- 10:05Speaker 1: he was working with the FBI. Besides that, it's still
- 10:09Speaker 1: a lot of speculation, but... I have the opinion that
- 10:13Speaker 1: Epstein was working for multiple outlets in the government, and
- 10:17Speaker 1: maybe not just the U.S. government, because that's how information
- 10:20Speaker 1: brokers work. And if Epstein was anything, he most certainly
- 10:25Speaker 1: was that. All right, folks, it's going to do it
- 10:28Speaker 1: for this one. If you'd like to contact me, you

- 10:48Speaker 1: description box. What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the
- 10:52Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. Today we have a relatively long article from
- 10:58Speaker 1: Mother Jones. And this article was originally published on October
- 11:03Speaker 1: 1st of 2019. And it is an interview by Leland
- 11:10Speaker 1: Nolley with Spencer Coven. Or should I say a conversation
- 11:15Speaker 1: that Leland Nolley was having with Spencer Coven about what
- 11:19Speaker 1: went down here with the original prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein.
- 11:24Speaker 1: and how it was absolutely foobar from Jump Street. So,
- 11:29Speaker 1: like I said, this is a pretty long article, so
- 11:32Speaker 1: let's just get right to it. Headline. An actual conspiracy
- 11:37Speaker 1: kept Jeffrey Epstein's accomplices out of prison. With four little words,
- 11:42Speaker 1: the government granted immunity to Epstein's co-conspirators. Why? This article
- 11:48Speaker 1: was authored by Leyland Nolley. It was just a four-word phrase,
- 11:55Speaker 1: a bit of a plain contractual verbiage, but even now,
- 11:59Speaker 1: more than a decade later, Spencer Coven has a hard
- 12:02Speaker 1: time expressing just how bizarre it was. It's incredibly odd language,
- 12:08Speaker 1: said Coven, an attorney in Florida. I've never seen it
- 12:11Speaker 1: before in a non-prosecution agreement. Now, we've heard this from...
- 12:15Speaker 1: Every single person who's talked about this plea deal pretty much,
- 12:18Speaker 1: besides Dershowitz, but everybody else has said, this is a
- 12:23Speaker 1: once-in-a-lifetime kind of deal. A sweetheart deal that they've never
- 12:26Speaker 1: seen the likes of ever before. So why would Jeffrey
- 12:30Speaker 1: Epstein rate? And then, for the people who want to
- 12:33Speaker 1: act like defending Epstein's co-conspirators is not a big deal, really?
- 12:38Speaker 1: All of these same people who were running around enabling
- 12:42Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein to We shouldn't talk about who is representing
- 12:45Speaker 1: them as lawyers either. You see what happens here when
- 12:48Speaker 1: we're talking about Epstein. We can't just talk about one
- 12:51Speaker 1: facet of it. It all has to be discussed. Because
- 12:54Speaker 1: if you look at it and just look at one
- 12:57Speaker 1: facet of what went down, none of it's going to
- 12:59Speaker 1: make sense. Kuvan and I were talking about the infamous
- 13:06Speaker 1: and inexplicable 2007 plea deal offered by then U.S. Attorney
- 13:11Speaker 1: Alexander Acosta, last seen slinking out of the Labor Department's
- 13:15Speaker 1: back door. Coven had represented three of Epstein's survivors at
- 13:19Speaker 1: the time of the agreement, and Coven is still exercised
- 13:24Speaker 1: about the deal. In particular, it's brief immunity clause that
- 13:28Speaker 1: continues to protect Epstein's co-conspirators. Anyone who has knowledge of
- 13:33Speaker 1: the situation and anyone who looks at the plea deal,
- 13:37Speaker 1: there's no way you can say to yourself, oh yeah,
- 13:39Speaker 1: this is on the up and up. So where are
- 13:41Speaker 1: all of the other deals like it? Where was the precedent?
- 13:46Speaker 1: There was no precedent for a deal like this. They
- 13:48Speaker 1: just decided, what the hell, we're going to do whatever
- 13:50Speaker 1: we want. Now remember, when they made this deal, it
- 13:53Speaker 1: was a long time before social media is what it
- 13:57Speaker 1: is today. And they could have never expected that it
- 14:00Speaker 1: would blow up and mushroom the way it has. They
- 14:03Speaker 1: figured that people would forget about it. That it would be,
- 14:06Speaker 1: you know, kicked underneath the bed and covered with clothes.
- 14:11Speaker 1: But that didn't happen, did it? And with the way
- 14:15Speaker 1: it snowballed, there was no way for them to cover
- 14:18Speaker 1: their asses. According to a ruling by U.S. District Judge
- 14:25Speaker 1: Kenneth Mara in February of 2019, from between about 1999
- 14:32Speaker 1: and 2007, Jeffrey Epstein sexually abused more than 30 minor
- 14:35Speaker 1: girls at his mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, and elsewhere
- 14:39Speaker 1: in the United States and overseas. The ruling goes on
- 14:43Speaker 1: to describe a child sex ring. In addition to his
- 14:46Speaker 1: own sexual abuse of the survivors, Epstein directed other persons
- 14:50Speaker 1: to abuse the girls sexually. Epstein used paid employees to
- 14:55Speaker 1: find and bring minor girls to him. Epstein worked in
- 14:58Speaker 1: concert with others to obtain minors, not only for his
- 15:01Speaker 1: own sexual gratification, but also for the sexual gratification of others. Now,
- 15:07Speaker 1: this is a ruling from Judge Kenneth Mara. This isn't
- 15:11Speaker 1: me just telling you this, right? This is what Judge
- 15:14Speaker 1: Kenneth Marrow was saying. So who are all of these
- 15:17Speaker 1: others that were working with him? And why are all
- 15:19Speaker 1: of these people that are quote unquote called others afforded
- 15:24Speaker 1: this great protection? Don't you think that if there were
- 15:28Speaker 1: competing judges, investigations or concurrent investigations in all of these states.
- 15:35Speaker 1: We could have gotten around this non-prosecution agreement the same
- 15:38Speaker 1: way they did in New York. I remember before the
- 15:41Speaker 1: charges against Maxwell were tagged on her, people were saying
- 15:45Speaker 1: that they weren't going to be able to prosecute because
- 15:47Speaker 1: of this non-prosecution agreement down in Florida. But that only
- 15:50Speaker 1: protects you down in Florida, right? This isn't a get
- 15:54Speaker 1: out of jail free card for the rest of the country,
- 15:57Speaker 1: wherever else you might have committed these crimes. And that's
- 16:00Speaker 1: why I was so adamant that there should have been
- 16:02Speaker 1: state investigations running in parallel to this federal investigation. Don't
- 16:07Speaker 1: you want redundancies? Don't you want there to be another
- 16:10Speaker 1: investigation in case one slips up? But we didn't see that,
- 16:14Speaker 1: did we? It was all left in the hands of
- 16:16Speaker 1: the federal government. Why is that? But back in 2007,
- 16:22Speaker 1: Epstein was charged only with procuring an underage girl for prostitution,
- 16:26Speaker 1: having struck an unbelievable sweetheart deal with Acosta. And, you know,
- 16:31Speaker 1: they always add Acosta here like it's just him. And
- 16:34Speaker 1: I hate to beat a dead horse, but I want
- 16:36Speaker 1: everyone to understand that this goes a lot deeper than
- 16:39Speaker 1: just Acosta. Acosta can't make this ruling on his own.
- 16:43Speaker 1: He's not going to be out here talking about, oh yeah,
- 16:45Speaker 1: we're not prosecuting this, that, or the other thing without
- 16:49Speaker 1: his bosses giving him the okay. Epstein served 13 months
- 16:54Speaker 1: in a Palm Beach County jail, of which six days
- 16:57Speaker 1: a week were spent on work release in his high-rise office,
- 17:01Speaker 1: a limo chauffeuring him to and from jail. He was
- 17:04Speaker 1: also required to register as a sex offender. The deal
- 17:08Speaker 1: on its face is incredibly favorable to Epstein. If you
- 17:11Speaker 1: look closer, things get even better for him. Imagine how
- 17:15Speaker 1: could it get even better? Well, you're about to find out.
- 17:18Speaker 1: The United States also agrees that it will not institute
- 17:22Speaker 1: any criminal charges against potential co-conspirators of Epstein, including, but
- 17:27Speaker 1: not limited to, Sarah Kellen, Adriana Ross, Leslie Groff, or
- 17:32Speaker 1: Nadia Marcinkova. The only person that's named there that is
- 17:36Speaker 1: even worthy of any kind of consideration is Nadia Marcinkova
- 17:40Speaker 1: because of her circumstances. And what does this shit mean?
- 17:43Speaker 1: Any potential co-conspirator of Epstein, including, but not limited to?
- 17:48Speaker 1: So what is this, just a carte blanche for all
- 17:50Speaker 1: of his friends to say, hey, I was working with Epstein,
- 17:53Speaker 1: you can't prosecute me? And what sort of leadership structure
- 17:59Speaker 1: at the Department of Justice okays something like this? Imagine
- 18:03Speaker 1: you were working at the DOJ and you're the Attorney
- 18:06Speaker 1: General or Assistant Attorney General and this bullshit comes across
- 18:09Speaker 1: your desk. First of all, I'm calling up whoever sends
- 18:12Speaker 1: it to me, right? I'm calling them in for a meeting, right?
- 18:16Speaker 1: and I'm going to launch an investigation into what they're
- 18:18Speaker 1: up to, because obviously they're not doing their job correctly.
- 18:22Speaker 1: You better miss me with all this bullshit. The four
- 18:27Speaker 1: women named had allegedly helped recruit underage girls for Epstein
- 18:31Speaker 1: at his direction, but that four-word phrase, but not limited to,
- 18:36Speaker 1: gave a free pass to anybody who would have helped
- 18:39Speaker 1: Epstein acquire or traffic underage girls for sex. How could
- 18:44Speaker 1: the government agree to immunize any potential co-conspirators of an
- 18:48Speaker 1: alleged serial child rapist? The question is at the center
- 18:52Speaker 1: of so many conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein's life and death. Hey, look,
- 18:58Speaker 1: for me, it happened. Right. Did it or did it
- 19:01Speaker 1: not happen? They gave him this sweetheart deal. Right. And
- 19:04Speaker 1: they've never given us any reason. As to why they
- 19:07Speaker 1: would do that with the language included, that was included.
- 19:11Speaker 1: So how is it a theory if it's playing out
- 19:13Speaker 1: right here in front of us? You know what's a theory?
- 19:16Speaker 1: The Big Bang Theory. That's a theory. The deal has
- 19:22Speaker 1: not expired with Epstein either. On September 16th, Judge Mara
- 19:25Speaker 1: shot down efforts by Epstein's survivors to invalidate the non-prosecution agreement,
- 19:31Speaker 1: letting the co-conspirator provision stand. We learned the same day
- 19:35Speaker 1: that the federal government had told the court in 2011
- 19:39Speaker 1: that the agreement applied only in Florida, meaning in theory
- 19:43Speaker 1: that co-conspirators could be charged in another state. Yeah, no shit.
- 19:47Speaker 1: I'm certainly not Judge Judy over here. or the greatest
- 19:51Speaker 1: legal mind to ever walk the earth, but it's rather
- 19:53Speaker 1: obvious that when you have a deal, the immunity only
- 19:57Speaker 1: covers you in the district that the deal's drawn up in.
- 20:04Speaker 1: There are co-conspirators involved in this whole thing, Coven said.
- 20:07Speaker 1: By leaving it open like this, if they decide to
- 20:10Speaker 1: try and file charges against Maxwell or others who are co-conspirators,
- 20:14Speaker 1: I have no doubt that her attorneys will try to
- 20:17Speaker 1: raise this as an issue and this might give them immunity.
- 20:21Speaker 1: It's frustrating. We know that it didn't work. We know
- 20:24Speaker 1: that it didn't carry over. And I think that the
- 20:27Speaker 1: government understood that the people weren't going to deal with it.
- 20:31Speaker 1: Nobody was going to accept their bullshit. Oh, well, we
- 20:33Speaker 1: can't prosecute Ghislaine Maxwell in New York because of a
- 20:36Speaker 1: plea deal in Florida. Nobody was accepting that. So they
- 20:39Speaker 1: had to get to work. But if it wasn't for
- 20:41Speaker 1: all of you out there pressuring and pestering and continuously
- 20:45Speaker 1: following this case the way you do, there's no way
- 20:48Speaker 1: that they would have ever flexed and went the way
- 20:51Speaker 1: they did. On July 10th, Acosta offered an explanation for
- 20:56Speaker 1: the agreement. The purpose in this case was to bring
- 20:59Speaker 1: Epstein to jail, to put him behind bars. And so
- 21:03Speaker 1: there were other individuals that may have been involved in
- 21:06Speaker 1: any type of conspiracy. There are individuals around someone. The
- 21:10Speaker 1: focus really is on the top player. And that's where
- 21:13Speaker 1: our focus appropriately was. That's such bullshit. Do you think
- 21:17Speaker 1: that they walk into a group of drug dealers and
- 21:20Speaker 1: they're only going after the top dog? They're going after everybody.
- 21:23Speaker 1: And they start with the low-level associates. They grab the
- 21:26Speaker 1: low-level associates. and they flipped them. And then they worked
- 21:30Speaker 1: their way up the chain, but they didn't do that. Instead,
- 21:32Speaker 1: they gave all of the low-level associates of Jeffrey Epstein's
- 21:35Speaker 1: criminal enterprise a plea deal. I mean, a non-prosecution agreement.
- 21:40Speaker 1: So how in the hell are you supposed to prosecute
- 21:42Speaker 1: people who are being shielded by the very laws that
- 21:45Speaker 1: you're supposed to be upholding that they're breaking? But a
- 21:51Speaker 1: focus on the top player doesn't require freeing from liability
- 21:55Speaker 1: the people who aided and abetted him. People who sent
- 21:59Speaker 1: girls to Epstein so he could sexually assault them. The
- 22:02Speaker 1: immunity clause drastically weakened the government's case with those four words.
- 22:07Speaker 1: Prosecutors lost whatever leverage they might have had to extract
- 22:11Speaker 1: evidence from Epstein's co-conspirators. And you wonder why they didn't talk, right?
- 22:15Speaker 1: They weren't pressed. They were not pressed. And if they were,
- 22:19Speaker 1: say you slapped them with RICO predicates. A lot of
- 22:22Speaker 1: those RICO charges have mandatory sentencing, right? So if you
- 22:25Speaker 1: get convicted, you're going away for a mandatory period of time.
- 22:29Speaker 1: There's no, oh, we're going to get some time shaved off,
- 22:32Speaker 1: none of that shit. Not one single RICO charge in
- 22:36Speaker 1: this whole entire case, because if they did, if it
- 22:38Speaker 1: was RICO, then all of these ties would bind. And
- 22:42Speaker 1: they weren't ready to do that. They had everything they needed,
- 22:45Speaker 1: and we've seen it time and time again. But for
- 22:48Speaker 1: reasons that I will never understand... They chose not to act.
- 22:56Speaker 1: Alan Dershowitz, who represented Epstein during the 2007 case, offered
- 23:00Speaker 1: me a much different but equally strange explanation for the
- 23:04Speaker 1: immunity clause. That was designed to protect any women who
- 23:09Speaker 1: Epstein had get other women, said Alan Dershowitz. Another member
- 23:13Speaker 1: of the 2007 defense team described the provision as a
- 23:17Speaker 1: way to protect the dozens of young girls who were
- 23:20Speaker 1: Epstein's sexual abuse survivors, but who had also accepted money
- 23:24Speaker 1: to recruit other girls, often from high school parties. It's
- 23:28Speaker 1: all about protecting the survivors. That's what they're saying this
- 23:30Speaker 1: is about. Such bullshit. Such absolute and utter bullshit. There's
- 23:35Speaker 1: not a prosecutor... on the planet, I don't think, that
- 23:38Speaker 1: would be bringing charges against Epstein survivors. That is complete
- 23:45Speaker 1: and utter crap, Coven said. Absolutely not true. Coven believed
- 23:49Speaker 1: the provision was crafted to protect people like Ghislaine Maxwell,
- 23:52Speaker 1: the British socialite, and longtime Epstein confidant, co-conspirator, general all-around scuzzbag,
- 23:59Speaker 1: you know, fellow child abuser, and bipedal serpent, of soliciting
- 24:02Speaker 1: girls on the financier pedophile's behalf. They wrote that provision
- 24:08Speaker 1: so that it would be broad as possible because he
- 24:11Speaker 1: wanted to capture in that plea deal all of his
- 24:13Speaker 1: co-conspirators like Elaine Maxwell. Coven went on. If they wanted
- 24:18Speaker 1: to exclude any girls from prosecution, the government could have
- 24:21Speaker 1: done that. They interviewed over 40 women and they knew
- 24:24Speaker 1: the names of all those women. That's absolutely right. If
- 24:27Speaker 1: the government wanted to do that, they would have done it.
- 24:30Speaker 1: So the whole explanation given by Dershowitz just doesn't pass
- 24:33Speaker 1: muster like usual. The logic in Dershowitz's explanation has several
- 24:41Speaker 1: obvious flaws. One, it would seem to encourage perpetrators to
- 24:45Speaker 1: victimize people to gain their assistance in a criminal conspiracy. Two,
- 24:50Speaker 1: if the objective is to protect the victims of sexual assault,
- 24:54Speaker 1: a provision that immunizes people who are involved in trafficking
- 24:58Speaker 1: young girls to a child molester seems counterintuitive. And most obviously,
- 25:04Speaker 1: while the defense claims this provision protects victims, it ultimately
- 25:09Speaker 1: protects their assailant the most. In immunizing any of his
- 25:13Speaker 1: potential co-conspirators, it keeps them from possibly flipping or providing evidence.
- 25:18Speaker 1: And that is what this has always been about. How
- 25:21Speaker 1: can Epstein continue to have that cone of silence around
- 25:25Speaker 1: his operation where none of his lieutenants, where none of
- 25:29Speaker 1: his co-conspirators come forward and speak out? We're going on, what,
- 25:33Speaker 1: three years now since he's been dead? Four years now
- 25:36Speaker 1: since he's been dead? And none of these co-conspirators have
- 25:39Speaker 1: come out and said a damn word. And that's because
- 25:42Speaker 1: they all know they got the deal of a lifetime.
- 25:44Speaker 1: And coming out and talking now, well, what would be
- 25:46Speaker 1: the point for them? They're already protected by this plea
- 25:50Speaker 1: deal in Florida, and since there were no concurrent state investigations, well,
- 25:54Speaker 1: here we are. And to be clear, the government makes
- 26:00Speaker 1: no habit out of cutting this sort of deal. Nobody
- 26:03Speaker 1: I spoke to in reporting this piece had ever heard
- 26:06Speaker 1: of a provision like it, Dershowitz included. When asked if
- 26:09Speaker 1: the provision would in fact protect anyone who had helped
- 26:13Speaker 1: Epstein acquire girls, Dershowitz answered, yes, those who helped him
- 26:18Speaker 1: get girls. I mean, how can you hear that or
- 26:22Speaker 1: how can you read that or see that and not
- 26:25Speaker 1: just know that this whole entire thing was completely and
- 26:29Speaker 1: utterly corrupt? Because that's what it was. Corrupt from the
- 26:33Speaker 1: very beginning. Corrupt on the end of the prosecution and
- 26:36Speaker 1: certainly corrupt on the end of Jeffrey Epstein and all
- 26:40Speaker 1: of his lawyers. I asked why Acosta would have accepted
- 26:45Speaker 1: such a broad provision in the deal. Dershowitz claimed Epstein
- 26:49Speaker 1: wouldn't have accepted it unless Acosta did. That's how negotiations go.
- 26:54Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm sure that would work out for El Chapo. Nah,
- 26:56Speaker 1: you know what? I don't want to go to Flomax,
- 26:58Speaker 1: so we're not going to negotiate anymore. What do you mean?
- 27:01Speaker 1: You're the federal government. You dudes are kicking in doors
- 27:04Speaker 1: on a regular basis and making people disappear if you want.
- 27:07Speaker 1: But all of a sudden, Jeffrey Epstein, oh, well, we can't,
- 27:11Speaker 1: you know, go in there and do what we got
- 27:13Speaker 1: to do because that's how negotiations go. What does that
- 27:16Speaker 1: even mean? Since when doesn't the federal government just absolutely
- 27:20Speaker 1: steamroll over people? He also told me the feds had
- 27:25Speaker 1: a very weak case and that the deal offered to
- 27:27Speaker 1: Epstein was not a sweetheart deal. I'd be happy to
- 27:30Speaker 1: tell you if it was because I'd get credit for it.
- 27:33Speaker 1: You know, this guy is too much, man. This Dershowitz character. Now, look,
- 27:37Speaker 1: I don't know if he's guilty or not. I wasn't there.
- 27:39Speaker 1: I'll tell you, I believe what Virginia has to say, though.
- 27:42Speaker 1: And I will say this. The guy has been just
- 27:46Speaker 1: nonsensical throughout this whole thing. All of his explanations, all
- 27:51Speaker 1: of his reasons why none of it has ever, ever,
- 27:55Speaker 1: ever been the kind of explanation where you say to yourself, oh, yeah,
- 27:59Speaker 1: that's logical. That could have happened. That seems like a
- 28:01Speaker 1: scenario that went down. That comment is absurd, Coven said.
- 28:08Speaker 1: You know, what is atrocious is the volume and the
- 28:11Speaker 1: number of victims he had molested. You're telling me that
- 28:14Speaker 1: there's evidence that you have a serial molester of underage
- 28:17Speaker 1: girls and allowing him one year in a local jail
- 28:20Speaker 1: on work release every day is a reasonable deal? That's absurd.
- 28:25Speaker 1: They just didn't do their jobs. I mean, the U.S.
- 28:27Speaker 1: Attorney's Office, they completely fell asleep at the switch and
- 28:31Speaker 1: did not do their job. If they did do their jobs,
- 28:34Speaker 1: they would have been able to expand this investigation to
- 28:37Speaker 1: New York, New Mexico, potentially Paris, and his island in
- 28:42Speaker 1: the U.S. Virgin Islands, and talk to all the girls
- 28:45Speaker 1: who are now coming forward and telling their stories of
- 28:48Speaker 1: what happened to them. But they didn't. They just gave up.
- 28:52Speaker 1: The U.S. Attorney's Office completely gave up on this case
- 28:55Speaker 1: because they felt, oh, it's just a couple of girls,
- 28:58Speaker 1: it's not a big deal, and this guy's really rich,
- 29:02Speaker 1: and he paid all these lawyers to fight us, and
- 29:04Speaker 1: it's just going to cause too much of a headache. Now,
- 29:07Speaker 1: what have I been telling you folks pretty much every episode?
- 29:11Speaker 1: Pretty much exactly that, right? They could have went after him,
- 29:16Speaker 1: they could have had all these investigations going, but they
- 29:19Speaker 1: didn't do any of it. Do you really think that
- 29:22Speaker 1: if this was a criminal enterprise involved in whatever crime
- 29:25Speaker 1: you want to add, do you think that they would
- 29:28Speaker 1: have not had state investigations? How many times does somebody
- 29:32Speaker 1: get done doing a bid for, say, a state bid
- 29:36Speaker 1: and then they have a federal bid they have to
- 29:37Speaker 1: do after it or vice versa? And we didn't even
- 29:40Speaker 1: get to that point because there was never even state
- 29:43Speaker 1: investigations launched. We heard from Balderas, the attorney general of
- 29:48Speaker 1: New Mexico. Oh, we're going to punt to the feds.
- 29:52Speaker 1: Where was Cy Vance's office? Where was the New York
- 29:55Speaker 1: state prosecutor's office? Well, we know where the prosecutor's office
- 30:00Speaker 1: down in Florida was. They were in bed with Jeffrey
- 30:02Speaker 1: Epstein and, you know, popping bottles or whatever the hell
- 30:05Speaker 1: they were doing behind the scenes at all their fancy
- 30:08Speaker 1: dinner meetings. We don't know what was going down because,
- 30:10Speaker 1: you know, Alexander Acosta's emails, they all went missing. So
- 30:14Speaker 1: there's no paper trail. And, you know, it was just
- 30:16Speaker 1: an accident. But these people, they truly think that we're stupid.
- 30:22Speaker 1: And with all of the information that we have at
- 30:24Speaker 1: our fingertips now, it's not very hard to put the
- 30:27Speaker 1: pieces together and see that what Spencer Coven just said
- 30:31Speaker 1: here is an absolute fact. They gave up. They didn't
- 30:34Speaker 1: care enough to pursue this the way they should have.
- 30:39Speaker 1: Kevin battled the government in court for over a year
- 30:42Speaker 1: and a half just to see the copy of the plea,
- 30:45Speaker 1: only becoming aware of it through a tip that came
- 30:47Speaker 1: from within the FBI. A year and a half just
- 30:50Speaker 1: to get the fucking deal, he said. It was unbelievable.
- 30:53Speaker 1: This was because of yet another baffling provision in the agreement.
- 30:58Speaker 1: You guys catching on yet? It took him over a
- 31:01Speaker 1: year to get the plea deal just to take a
- 31:04Speaker 1: look at it. And this is a lawyer. We're not
- 31:07Speaker 1: talking about some knucklehead podcast host, you know, hanging out
- 31:10Speaker 1: in his studio. This is an actual lawyer working the case.
- 31:13Speaker 1: And this is what he has to deal with. The
- 31:16Speaker 1: parties anticipate that this agreement will not be made part
- 31:20Speaker 1: of any public record. If the United States receives a
- 31:23Speaker 1: Freedom of Information Act request or any compulsory process commanding
- 31:27Speaker 1: the disclosure of the agreement, it will provide notice to
- 31:30Speaker 1: Epstein before making that disclosure. So basically, the government is
- 31:35Speaker 1: going to check with their boss, Jeffrey Epstein, to see
- 31:37Speaker 1: if it's OK. Breaking news, Jeffrey Epstein's bitch ass should
- 31:42Speaker 1: never be in charge of what you or I are
- 31:45Speaker 1: reading or able to attain as far as information. I mean,
- 31:49Speaker 1: for real, for real. This cover up was recently found
- 31:55Speaker 1: to be illegal. For those who think that perhaps money
- 31:58Speaker 1: and power prevailed and that connections to high-ranking individuals could
- 32:03Speaker 1: exercise their influence, it cannot be ruled out, said Gloria Allred,
- 32:07Speaker 1: who is planning to file a lawsuit in New York
- 32:09Speaker 1: on behalf of several of Epstein's survivors. I don't see
- 32:13Speaker 1: a rational basis for it. I'm trying to stretch and
- 32:15Speaker 1: think from the prosecutor's point of view as to why
- 32:18Speaker 1: they would accept this kind of deal. Such a broad
- 32:21Speaker 1: immunity that appears to be agreed to for potential alleged co-conspirators.
- 32:26Speaker 1: And I can't see any reason why they would accept
- 32:29Speaker 1: that or why they would want to cover it up.
- 32:31Speaker 1: So can you imagine even Nancy Gloria Allred over here
- 32:36Speaker 1: thinks it's crazy. And you all know how I feel
- 32:38Speaker 1: about her, but she's not wrong. Why would the government
- 32:42Speaker 1: not want to give this information out, even if it
- 32:45Speaker 1: was a Freedom of Information Act? Why are you so
- 32:47Speaker 1: worried that the public knows about this plea deal? Oh,
- 32:50Speaker 1: this is why. You see how crazy we're all going
- 32:53Speaker 1: over it? This is why they didn't want it to
- 32:55Speaker 1: be public knowledge. Because they look bad and they knew
- 32:58Speaker 1: they would look bad, but they did it anyway. Allred
- 33:04Speaker 1: is not one for conspiracy theories, but she said, there's
- 33:07Speaker 1: a basis for people not to trust the answers that
- 33:09Speaker 1: are coming out, saying he committed suicide. She was referring
- 33:13Speaker 1: to the 2007 plea deal. I think the survivors deserve
- 33:16Speaker 1: the truth, and right now, they don't have it. She continued,
- 33:20Speaker 1: the prosecution has a lot of explaining to do, and
- 33:23Speaker 1: I don't think they can explain this. There is no
- 33:25Speaker 1: good answer. It doesn't exist. And that's why you can't
- 33:29Speaker 1: find it. Sometimes not finding the answer is the answer.
- 33:33Speaker 1: She is not wrong about any of that. But once again, folks,
- 33:36Speaker 1: I just wanted to hammer home the fact that it
- 33:39Speaker 1: was all really a sham. There was no competing investigations,
- 33:43Speaker 1: no concurrent investigations in these other states like there should
- 33:47Speaker 1: have been. And then when we get to a point
- 33:49Speaker 1: where Glenn Maxwell is getting prosecuted, that's awesome. And I'm
- 33:53Speaker 1: all for that, obviously. But what about the other co-conspirators
- 33:56Speaker 1: that have been mentioned throughout in these court documents that
- 33:59Speaker 1: were protected under this plea deal? Because again, remember, these
- 34:02Speaker 1: plea deals don't protect, this plea deal does not protect
- 34:05Speaker 1: them outside of Florida. So what's the holdup? And what's
- 34:10Speaker 1: a state like New Mexico waiting for? I guess I'll
- 34:14Speaker 1: be waiting quite some time to get that answer. That's
- 34:18Speaker 1: going to do it for this one, folks. If you'd
- 34:20Speaker 1: like to contact me, you can do that at bobbycapucci
- 34:23Speaker 1: at protonmail.com. That's B-O-B-B-Y-C-A-P-U-C-C-I at protonmail.com. You can also find

- 34:38Speaker 1: I discussed can be found in the description box. What's up, everyone,
- 34:43Speaker 1: and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. The Department of Justice,
- 34:50Speaker 1: for all of their bluster and all of their platitudes,
- 34:54Speaker 1: has done nothing to stop or get rid of the
- 34:57Speaker 1: deal that Jeffrey Epstein signed down in Florida. In fact,
- 35:02Speaker 1: they say that that deal has to stand. And they
- 35:06Speaker 1: made this statement, this ruling. All the way back in 2019,
- 35:12Speaker 1: and the rest of the courts, including the appeals court,
- 35:15Speaker 1: the Supreme Court, all of them, well, they've decided that
- 35:19Speaker 1: instead of going for justice here and exposing, obviously, rotten
- 35:24Speaker 1: procedures and rotten bureaucrats, that they were just going to
- 35:28Speaker 1: whitewash it all and act like nothing even happened. Ah, well,
- 35:32Speaker 1: he got the plea deal. It was not the right
- 35:35Speaker 1: thing to do. And the prosecutor showed some bad judgment,
- 35:38Speaker 1: but all we're going to do is apologize for it. Well,
- 35:43Speaker 1: that's not good enough. You mean to tell me nobody
- 35:45Speaker 1: lost their job? Nobody lost their pension? Nobody had to
- 35:49Speaker 1: go and stand before a congressional committee or anything like that?
- 35:56Speaker 1: How is that even possible when there is obviously a
- 36:00Speaker 1: lot wrong here? The whole entire system is set up
- 36:04Speaker 1: for people like Jeffrey Epstein to be able to beat
- 36:06Speaker 1: shit like this and get back out on the streets quickly. Meanwhile,
- 36:11Speaker 1: the rest of us, if you jaywalk, you don't pay
- 36:15Speaker 1: your taxes, whatever it is, you better believe they're coming
- 36:18Speaker 1: for you with the full brunt of the federal government
- 36:21Speaker 1: or the local police force. You think you're getting a
- 36:24Speaker 1: good sweetheart deal? Highly doubtful, my friend. But if you're
- 36:28Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein and you're rubbing shoulders with all of these bigwigs,
- 36:32Speaker 1: you're hanging out with ex-presidents, you're hanging out with ex-prime ministers,
- 36:36Speaker 1: I guess when you get a deal like this, the
- 36:38Speaker 1: court lets it stand. Today's article is from NPR. Headline,
- 36:44Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein's sex offender plea deal must stand, federal prosecutors say.
- 36:50Speaker 1: This article was published on June 25th of 2019. And
- 36:56Speaker 1: it was authored by Greg Allen. Federal prosecutors say a
- 37:06Speaker 1: lenient plea deal struck more than a decade ago with
- 37:09Speaker 1: multimillionaire and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein should be allowed
- 37:13Speaker 1: to stand. That's your government, folks. Remember, that's the Department
- 37:17Speaker 1: of Justice, the federal government of the United States, telling
- 37:20Speaker 1: you that the Jeffrey Epstein deal should stand. Now, why
- 37:24Speaker 1: would they do that? What do they have to lose
- 37:27Speaker 1: if the deal goes bye bye? Well, we all know
- 37:30Speaker 1: if the deal wasn't there in the first place and
- 37:33Speaker 1: they would have really cast a net over the whole operation,
- 37:37Speaker 1: it would have exposed so many people that the DOJ
- 37:40Speaker 1: has no desire to expose. And that's just the facts
- 37:45Speaker 1: of the situation, because if they wanted to expose these people,
- 37:48Speaker 1: they could have. Instead, Epstein got this sweetheart of a
- 37:52Speaker 1: deal and they thought that everything was just going to
- 37:54Speaker 1: go away and they'd never have to deal with this
- 37:57Speaker 1: ever again. They weren't counting on social media. They weren't
- 38:02Speaker 1: counting on the survivors taking their story directly to social
- 38:06Speaker 1: media and directly to you. And we see how that
- 38:11Speaker 1: is all snowballed. But they really thought that they were
- 38:14Speaker 1: going to get away with all of this. Remember, this
- 38:16Speaker 1: was a secret deal. Nobody even knew about this deal.
- 38:21Speaker 1: Until it was exposed by different reporters and people digging
- 38:25Speaker 1: into it, the government, they were content on not letting
- 38:28Speaker 1: anyone know what went down here. That's your Justice Department, folks.
- 38:33Speaker 1: Take a good hard look at it. Epstein was charged
- 38:39Speaker 1: with recruiting dozens of girls, some as young as 13,
- 38:42Speaker 1: for massages and sex at his mansion in Palm Beach, Florida.
- 38:46Speaker 1: Massages and sex at Epstein's were the same thing. So
- 38:49Speaker 1: anyone talking about a massage in regards to Epstein, you
- 38:53Speaker 1: know exactly what they were talking about. It's no different
- 38:56Speaker 1: than if we were out partying and you're talking about
- 38:58Speaker 1: blow and you say, hey, let me get some yay.
- 39:01Speaker 1: We know what you're talking about. You want a little
- 39:02Speaker 1: bit of cocaine. So when they're talking about massages over here,
- 39:07Speaker 1: they're talking about the same thing, except they mean sex.
- 39:11Speaker 1: Under a plea deal reached in 2007 with then U.S.
- 39:15Speaker 1: attorney Alex Acosta, well, that's not exactly true. I mean,
- 39:20Speaker 1: it is, but it's not right. They omit some things here,
- 39:23Speaker 1: not just with Acosta, with the whole ass Department of Justice.
- 39:27Speaker 1: Don't put Acosta up here as the fall guy so
- 39:29Speaker 1: that nobody focusing on the Department of Justice and their
- 39:33Speaker 1: missteps and their protection of Epstein. It wasn't just Acosta
- 39:37Speaker 1: on his own. Old boy can't make those kinds of decisions.
- 39:42Speaker 1: Epstein was given immunity from federal prosecution and pleaded guilty
- 39:46Speaker 1: to lesser state charges. The financier, pedophile, served just 13
- 39:51Speaker 1: months in county jail and was granted work release, allowing
- 39:54Speaker 1: him to spend his days at his Palm Beach office.
- 39:58Speaker 1: Acosta now serves as President Trump's labor secretary. Not anymore,
- 40:02Speaker 1: he doesn't. He got ran right out of office, didn't he?
- 40:05Speaker 1: You know, it's funny, though. You see the way that
- 40:07Speaker 1: Acosta was treated, right? How he was chased out of office,
- 40:10Speaker 1: how he was hounded continuously. You would think that a
- 40:14Speaker 1: guy like Bill Richardson would be getting the same treatment.
- 40:17Speaker 1: But instead, we see him going over to Russia and
- 40:20Speaker 1: acting as an emissary for the United States government. So
- 40:24Speaker 1: you mean to tell me you're OK with a guy
- 40:25Speaker 1: who is credibly accused by Virginia Roberts of partaking in
- 40:29Speaker 1: all of this disgustingness as a representative of the president
- 40:34Speaker 1: and the United States? We're cool with that. I'm not
- 40:39Speaker 1: cool with any of it. I'm not cool with Alexander Acosta,
- 40:42Speaker 1: and I'm certainly not cool with Bill Richardson. For more
- 40:47Speaker 1: than a decade, attorneys representing sex abuse victims in the
- 40:51Speaker 1: case have said that their clients weren't informed of the
- 40:54Speaker 1: plea deal beforehand or given the opportunity to testify about
- 40:58Speaker 1: it in court. In February, U.S. District Judge Kenneth Mara
- 41:02Speaker 1: ruled that the omission by prosecutors violated the Crime Victims
- 41:06Speaker 1: Rights Act. He ordered the government and lawyers for the
- 41:09Speaker 1: victims to propose a remedy. See, this is the problem.
- 41:13Speaker 1: I don't want no goddamn remedy, okay? Here's what I want.
- 41:16Speaker 1: I want people to lose their jobs. The same way
- 41:20Speaker 1: that you or I would lose our job if we
- 41:21Speaker 1: were negligent in doing it, I want that same treatment
- 41:25Speaker 1: for the people here. If you were involved in making
- 41:28Speaker 1: these decisions, you shouldn't be making these decisions anymore. Because
- 41:35Speaker 1: what happened here was obviously way, way out of bounds.
- 41:41Speaker 1: And the fact that nobody has been punished for it
- 41:43Speaker 1: is just a lot to wrap our minds around. In
- 41:48Speaker 1: a motion filed last month, lawyers for two survivors identified
- 41:52Speaker 1: only as Jane Doe 1 and 2 asked that the
- 41:54Speaker 1: investigation be reopened and that they receive an apology from prosecutors.
- 42:00Speaker 1: This week, prosecutors responded in their motion. They conceded the
- 42:03Speaker 1: government should have told abuse survivors about the plea deal
- 42:07Speaker 1: before it was presented in court. But they say the
- 42:10Speaker 1: law gives the government broad discretion in deciding whether or
- 42:14Speaker 1: not to prosecute. And at this point, prosecutors say survivors
- 42:18Speaker 1: have no right to demand an apology or anything from
- 42:21Speaker 1: the government. Imagine the audacity of the Department of Justice. Now, remember,
- 42:26Speaker 1: this is the Bill Barr Department of Justice that had
- 42:29Speaker 1: this response. But where's Merrick Garland? I thought Merrick Garland
- 42:33Speaker 1: was this great guy and he's going to be this
- 42:35Speaker 1: great attorney general who's going to change the world. Told
- 42:38Speaker 1: you that wasn't going to happen, didn't I? Hate to
- 42:40Speaker 1: be the bearer of bad news over here, but they're
- 42:43Speaker 1: all the same. All of these people are the same.
- 42:46Speaker 1: And all of these people that get in the office,
- 42:48Speaker 1: they've all had jobs throughout government for all of these
- 42:50Speaker 1: years while Epstein was active. What did they ever do
- 42:53Speaker 1: to step in? Did they ever step in and say, hey, look,
- 42:56Speaker 1: the government is completely at fault here. And we want
- 42:59Speaker 1: to have an absolute auditing of everything that went on.
- 43:03Speaker 1: Has Congress demanded every single file that has to do
- 43:07Speaker 1: with Epstein or what happened in that jail? Have they
- 43:10Speaker 1: subpoenaed anybody? See, so the proof is in the pudding.
- 43:14Speaker 1: These people can talk all they want. They can use
- 43:16Speaker 1: all the great, fantastic words they learned at fine lad
- 43:20Speaker 1: school and platitudes and all the rest of it. But
- 43:23Speaker 1: when it really comes down to it, And you really
- 43:26Speaker 1: chop it up. The fact is this, the government and
- 43:30Speaker 1: all of these people who have been in positions for
- 43:32Speaker 1: all of these years just does not care. And it's
- 43:35Speaker 1: all about cover your ass. Even when it comes to
- 43:38Speaker 1: the federal government, you really think that they're going to
- 43:40Speaker 1: admit that they were in the wrong here, even after
- 43:43Speaker 1: Judge Mara came out and told them that they were.
- 43:49Speaker 1: As for requests that the court invalidate the plea deal
- 43:52Speaker 1: in order the government to reopen the investigation, prosecutors say
- 43:56Speaker 1: the court simply doesn't have the authority. Well, it should
- 43:58Speaker 1: have the authority. And if it doesn't have the authority,
- 44:03Speaker 1: then there needs to be a body that does. So
- 44:06Speaker 1: can we get to the Oversight Committee in Congress? What
- 44:09Speaker 1: about the Senate? Are you folks too busy dog walking
- 44:12Speaker 1: us into World War Three or what's going on here?
- 44:15Speaker 1: Nobody wants to do their job. Because it seems to
- 44:18Speaker 1: me that all we have is like one gigantic ass
- 44:21Speaker 1: wrestling organization running around like they're politicians. You know, making
- 44:25Speaker 1: pretend they hate each other and then breaking bread together
- 44:28Speaker 1: and getting rich behind the scenes. Yeah, that's exactly what
- 44:30Speaker 1: I feel like is going on. Shit's all political theater
- 44:34Speaker 1: to them. But while these douchebags play their Game of Thrones,
- 44:38Speaker 1: there is real life consequences for people here. And these
- 44:41Speaker 1: survivors who have been absolutely stomped on at every turn,
- 44:45Speaker 1: they deserve some redress from the government, especially. Isn't it
- 44:48Speaker 1: the Department of Justice's job to stop somebody like Epstein
- 44:52Speaker 1: when they know about him? Did they do that? No,
- 44:56Speaker 1: they didn't, right? So? Where's the issue? They're the ones
- 45:00Speaker 1: who didn't do their job. They're the ones who were negligent.
- 45:03Speaker 1: So they're the ones who should have to answer for that.
- 45:08Speaker 1: In the motion, BJ Pack, the U.S. attorney for the
- 45:11Speaker 1: Northern District of Georgia, writes that such an order would
- 45:14Speaker 1: violate or fall perilously close to violating the separation of
- 45:18Speaker 1: powers doctrine undergirding our democracy. Oh, it's always about our democracy, right?
- 45:24Speaker 1: I'm so tired of that platitude as well. Oh, we
- 45:27Speaker 1: got to do it for our democracy. What does that
- 45:29Speaker 1: even mean? I'm going to need you to explain that
- 45:31Speaker 1: for me. What is our shared democracy that you're so
- 45:35Speaker 1: crowing about all the time? PAC took over the case
- 45:38Speaker 1: earlier this year after prosecutors in the South Florida U.S.
- 45:41Speaker 1: Attorney's Office, formerly headed by Acosta, recused themselves. So why
- 45:46Speaker 1: did it go to Georgia, okay? First of all, why
- 45:49Speaker 1: would Bill Barr assign this case to Georgia as if
- 45:51Speaker 1: Georgia has anything to do with this shit? See, it's
- 45:55Speaker 1: all just such a big, gigantic, ball of shit. And
- 45:59Speaker 1: it's infuriating, isn't it? The government says the deal it
- 46:06Speaker 1: made with Epstein should be allowed to stand. Acknowledging the
- 46:09Speaker 1: failure to properly notify survivors, PAC said prosecutors would meet
- 46:13Speaker 1: with them privately or allow them to testify at a
- 46:16Speaker 1: public hearing. And PAC said all prosecutors in Florida's Southern
- 46:19Speaker 1: District would receive additional training in the Crime Victims Rights Act. Oh, well,
- 46:24Speaker 1: it's all... Guess what? You know what? They're going to
- 46:26Speaker 1: get extra training, folks, so it's all good. Nobody should
- 46:29Speaker 1: be held accountable. Meanwhile, if you F up too many
- 46:33Speaker 1: orders at the drive-thru at McDonald's, you're looking for a
- 46:35Speaker 1: new job. But at the Department of Justice, you just
- 46:37Speaker 1: get retrained. Nobody's okay with this shit anymore. And all
- 46:44Speaker 1: of this institutional silence, all of this covering up for
- 46:48Speaker 1: each other, it has to end. And the only way
- 46:50Speaker 1: that's ever going to happen is if we demand it
- 46:53Speaker 1: to happen. So, I don't know about you, but If
- 46:57Speaker 1: Congress wants to have a bunch of hearings and the
- 46:59Speaker 1: Senate wants to have hearings on all sorts of crazy stuff, well,
- 47:02Speaker 1: I would think that they'd find some time here to
- 47:04Speaker 1: take a look. Because I don't know how anyone can
- 47:07Speaker 1: read a statement like that from the Department of Justice
- 47:09Speaker 1: and not be enraged. All right, folks, well, there you
- 47:13Speaker 1: have it. Another look at the Department of Justice and
- 47:16Speaker 1: their do-nothing response in regard to Jeffrey Epstein, his crimes,
- 47:21Speaker 1: and the fact that the survivors were absolutely steamrolled by
- 47:25Speaker 1: the prosecution. If you'd like to contact me, you can
