All Roads To Full Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislaine Maxwell Transparency Lead Directly To The NPA · The Epstein Chronicles

0:00
Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
0:03
Epstein Chronicles. Yo, let's rewind the tape back to twenty twenty.
0:09
The world was still burning, yes, but have seen survivors
0:12
were still out there, still fighting, still demanding answers. And
0:16
what did their lawyers asked for? Something simple, something obvious,
0:21
something that in a functioning system wouldn't have taken five years,
0:25
fifteen excuses and a rotating cast of stonewalling bureaucrats, a
0:30
full accounting of the non prosecution agreement, the sweetheart deal,
0:34
the golden parachute for a predator, the corrupt document that
0:38
let a global sex trafficker avoid justice while the government
0:41
pretended it didn't notice the smoke pouring out of every
0:44
room he ever walked into. And what did the DOJ
0:48
do with that request? Nothing? Absolutely nothing, No urgency, no explanation,
0:54
no public reckoning, just silence or worse distraction. And now
0:59
flat forward to today, with every headline screaming Epstein's name,
1:04
every survivor's voice echoing louder than ever, And what do
1:07
we get from our friends at Justice? Another press release
1:10
telling us the grand jury transcripts contain nothing new. Great cool,
1:15
Thanks for the insult. That's like showing up to a
1:18
house fire with a garden hose and bragging that the
1:21
addicts untouched. And you want to talk about transparency, let's
1:24
start with the five hundred pound gorilla sitting in the
1:27
middle of the DOJ's conference room table, the NPA, the
1:30
non prosecution agreement, the document so outrageous, so rotten to
1:35
its core, that it reads like a payoff disguised as law.
1:38
You know, the one that let Epstein's co conspirators walk,
1:41
sealed the evidence and buried the truth behind a wall
1:44
of red tape. The one negotiated behind closed doors while
1:48
the victims were left in the dark. Yeah, that one.
1:51
And let's not forget the data gap in alex Acosta's emails.
1:55
Remember that whole Swaza communications conveniently gone like a magician's trick.
2:01
Nothing to see here, just your government making digital footprints disappear.
2:05
If it were anyone else, that would be obstruction. But
2:08
when it's the DOJ, it's just another Tuesday. If they
2:13
were serious, serious about transparency, they declassify everything tied to
2:18
the NPA, every memo, every email, every meeting note, every
2:22
whisper that helps sweep the most powerful predator of our
2:26
generation under the rug. But they won't because if they do,
2:30
the entire rotten architecture collapses. Instead, they'd rather distract us
2:36
with grand jury, nuthenburgers, with polite nods, and with procedural
2:40
theater designed to burn the clock. Because acknowledging the truth
2:44
about the NPA means acknowledging complicity. It means admitting that
2:48
the Department of Justice wasn't asleep at the wheel, it
2:51
was actively steering the getaway car. So no, we don't
2:55
want another sterile filing telling us there is nothing new.
2:58
We want the thing you keep refusing to give us
3:01
the full, ugly truth about how Jeffrey Epstein got away
3:04
with it for so long and who helped them. That
3:07
begins with a non prosecution agreement. That begins with turning
3:11
over every scrap of paper that explains how a serial
3:15
trafficker was gifted immunity by the very agency that claims
3:19
to fight for victims. Until then, don't talk to us
3:22
about transparency. You lost that privilege a long time ago.
3:28
This article is from ABC News and it's from twenty twenty.
3:33
The headline lawyers for Epstein's victims seek previously concealed information
3:37
from the Justice Department. Attorneys for an alleged victim of
3:42
deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, contend in a new court
3:45
filing that the US Department of Justice failed to turn
3:49
over significant documents related to Epstein's controversial two thousand and
3:53
seven deal with federal prosecutors and concealed the existence of
3:58
a nearly year long data gap in the email inbox
4:01
of Alexander Acosta, the former US attorney in Miami who
4:05
approved the deal. I'm sure that that was just a coincidence, right,
4:09
that all those emails were lost, and shockingly enough, you
4:13
know those emails were too. You guessed it the brass
4:18
at the DOJ and Jeffrey Epstein's attorneys. I think it
4:22
calls into doubt everything that we've been told about the
4:25
case from the Justice Department, said Paul Cassel, an attorney
4:28
for alleged victim Courtney Wilde, who sued the DOJ in
4:32
two thousand and eight over Epstein's one secret deal. We've
4:36
been told that they have all the information, that everything
4:39
was fine, but now it turns out they've never had
4:42
all the information. And just to be clear, Pam Bondi
4:45
can declassify all of this stuff. Today, she's in control
4:48
of the DOJ. She can declassify the MPa and show
4:53
all of us what went down, but she won't do it. Instead,
4:56
we get more bullshit. Instead, we get more talk about
4:59
grand jury document, we get more talk about this that
5:01
the other thing, and then they move Gleagne Maxwell. The
5:05
fix couldn't be more in if we were watching a
5:07
wrestling match. The new court filing comes in advance of
5:12
a crucial court hearing in Wilde's case, and on the
5:15
heels of the release last week of a three hundred
5:17
and fifty page report on the Epstein Deal by the
5:21
Justice Department's Office a Professional Responsibility, which spent more than
5:25
a year reviewing the actions of Acosta and the four
5:28
former prosecutors most directly involved in the negotiations. And it's
5:33
so laughable, I mean, it is so laughable. The DOJ
5:36
brass that's who should have been investigated. But no, of course,
5:40
not Mukazy, Philippe. They just walk an Acosta. He's nothing
5:46
more than the fall guy. The review, which determined that
5:49
Acosta exhibited poor judgment in his handling of the Epstein deal,
5:53
relied substantially on internal government emails, as well as communication
5:58
between the prosecutors and Epstein team of high profile lawyers
6:02
to reach its conclusion, but the details concerning the missing
6:05
Acosta emails were relegated to a brief section of an
6:09
appendix to the report. The gap, which did not affect
6:12
a cost to sent email, was determined by OPR to
6:15
be most likely due to a technological error, and the
6:19
OPR reviewers found no evidence that there had been any
6:22
intentional deletion of emails. According to the report, of course not.
6:27
Did you really think they were going to out themselves all, well,
6:30
look we're negligent, we don't know what we're doing. Sue
6:32
us for five bazillion dollars, zero chance. Instead, they pinned
6:37
it all on the bad judgment of Alex Acosta. Who
6:40
the fuck believes that? And if you do believe it,
6:43
you should probably go and get some psychiatric help, because
6:46
you're living in the upside down world. Under no circumstance
6:52
is a middle level manager like Acosta in charge of
6:55
the finer points of a deal with somebody like Jeffrey Epstein. Oh,
6:58
sure he signed his name, but that was it. The
7:02
email gap coincides with a critical period from May two
7:05
thousand and seven, when the lead prosecutor prepared a fifty
7:08
three page draft indictment of Epstein to April two thousand
7:12
and eight, shortly before Epstein entered a guilty plea in
7:14
state court that ended the federal investigation. It was during
7:18
this time frame that Epstein's defense attorneys were amounting an
7:21
aggressive lobbying effort to persuade Acosta and his deputies to
7:26
shelve the indictment and close the federal case. And let's
7:29
not forget the meetings they had with DJ Brass. We
7:32
can't forget that part. Very important. The gap seems to
7:36
have surgically struck on exactly the time period when most
7:40
of the big decisions were being made. Cassel said, I
7:43
was stunned because you would think if there was ever
7:46
a case where the Justice Department would have been very
7:49
careful to make sure they had complete records and things
7:52
weren't missing, this would be the one. Sure nothing to
7:56
see here, though, folks, And remember keep in mind, this
7:59
is in twenty twenty we're talking about. We're not talking
8:02
about this as being tinted with what's going on currently
8:06
with you know, politics and whatnot. So this has been
8:09
a problem for a very long time. This isn't something
8:12
that's new, and I assure you this is not a hoax.
8:17
After the OPR report was made public, Casell said that
8:20
he and his co counsel, Brad Edwards, began digging through
8:24
their case files and discovered that some emails between the
8:27
prosecutors and Epstein's lawyers that were cited in the report
8:31
had apparently not been produced to them in Wilde's case,
8:34
even though a court ordered the government to turn over
8:37
all those communications in twenty thirteen. All the government's going
8:41
to do whatever it wants. And who was the president
8:44
in twenty thirteen, Oh that's right, Barack Obama. And I
8:48
say that just to point out once again that this
8:50
problem is bigger than Trump. Trump is a symptom of
8:54
the problem. He's not the cause of the illness. This
8:57
shit runs deep, folks, very very And the big problem
9:01
for Trump with a lot of people who supported him
9:03
was he said that he was going to be different, right.
9:05
He was a difference maker, a change maker, a guy
9:08
that's going to come in and disrupt the old guard,
9:11
only to show up and put on the same robe
9:14
as the king before him in just a few minutes time.
9:18
I identified several external emails that appear to have been
9:22
available to OPR, but inexplicably never made available to miss Wild,
9:26
Edwards wrote in an AFFI David submitted to the court
9:29
on Monday. Among the records, Edwards contends the government may
9:33
have him properly withheld or messages between a federal prosecutor
9:37
and an Epstein attorney who was contesting a requirement that
9:41
Epstein register as a sex offender, and exchanges about the
9:45
government subpoena seeking to obtain computers that have been removed
9:48
from Epstein's pom Beach home prior to the execution of
9:51
a search warrant by local police. Epstein's lawyers contested the subpoena,
9:56
and it was eventually withdrawn as a condition of Epstein's deal.
10:01
You heard that right. They never got the computers they
10:04
were looking to get because you know Epstein had a deal. Now,
10:08
you show me any other child molester ever who has
10:11
been hooked up the way Epstein has been hooked up
10:14
all wait. So far as we can determine in our records,
10:18
this correspondence has not been produced to us. This correspondence
10:22
is significant because had the efforts to obtain the computer, continued,
10:27
It's likely that the prosecutors would have obtained ironclad forensic
10:31
evidence to charge Epstein with CP crimes, Edwards wrote, And
10:35
according to the investigators down in Florida, Epstein was tipped
10:39
off to the fact that they were going to raid
10:40
his house, so he was able to remove all of
10:44
this sensitive material, all of this incriminating information, so that
10:48
when the house got raided, none of it was there.
10:52
But who told them that he was going to be raided?
10:54
Where did he get that information? Those are the kind
10:57
of files I'm looking for. Epstein's deal with the federal
11:00
government allowed them to avoid an indictment that could have
11:03
charged them with substantial crimes against nineteen alleged victims. He
11:08
faced a potential sentence between fourteen and seventeen years if convicted,
11:12
according to the OPR report. Instead, he pleaded guilty to
11:16
two prostitution related crimes in state court and served thirteen
11:20
months of an eighteen month sentence in county jail, much
11:24
of it on liberal work release program, and the federal
11:28
case was closed. Wild's lawsuit against the DOJ alleges that
11:32
Epstein's non prosecution agreement, which also conferred immunity to any
11:37
potential co conspirator was reached in violation of the CVRA,
11:42
which requires the federal government to confer with victims, keep
11:46
them informed, and to treat them with fairness and dignity.
11:50
After many years of litigation, the Justice Department acknowledged that
11:54
it did not inform Wild or any of the victims
11:57
about the deal before it was done, but the govern
12:00
me argues that the law did not require the victims
12:02
to be notified because no federal charges were filed. Loopholes
12:07
and technicalities the defense of the guilty. In February twenty nineteen,
12:13
a federal judge in West Palm Beach ruled in Wild's favor,
12:16
deciding that the government had violated the law by not
12:19
conferring with Wild and other alleged victims before they made
12:22
the deal, but before the judge could determine if Epstein's
12:25
deal should be torn up. Epstein was arrested again in
12:28
New York and then died in prison. The case was dismissed,
12:32
but she has appealed the decision. So could the whole
12:36
entire thing be They killed Jeffrey Epstein in prison to
12:39
keep the NPA from becoming public. Now look obviously just speculation,
12:44
and you know I don't like to jump down rabbit holes,
12:47
but the timing is very interesting, very interesting. Indeed, early
12:52
next month, Wilde's case a schedule for oral arguments before
12:55
the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Her lawyers are now
12:59
urging court to consider the newly discovered information about Acosta's
13:03
missing emails and to order the government to turn over
13:07
the allegedly undisclosed records and all the materials the OPR
13:11
considered for its report. That's what I want to be unsealed.
13:15
I want that information, and I want it bad. Let's
13:18
see it. All you want to talk about transparency, My
13:21
tax dollars paid for that shit. Let me see it.
13:25
But no, we're not going to get that either, are we. Unfortunately,
13:30
the appeals judge don't have in front of them right
13:33
now all the information about the case. A lot of
13:36
new information came out last week when the Justice Department
13:39
finally released its internal emails and other information, and we
13:44
want all of that information in front of the judges
13:46
when they make a ruling, Cassell said. According to Cassell's filing,
13:51
the government has indicated that it opposes his requests. Following
13:55
the release of the OPR review, an attorney for Acosta,
13:59
Gordon Todd, released a statement contending that the report fully
14:02
debunks allegations that Acosta improperly cut Epstein a sweetheart deal
14:07
or purposely avoided investigating potential wrongdoing by various prominent individuals.
14:14
Opr's investigation confirm the evidentiary and legal challenges that would
14:19
have faced any attempted federal prosecution of Epstein based on
14:22
information available at the time. Todd wrote that is a lie,
14:26
one hundred percent a lie, and Epstein was cooked. Plenty
14:30
of information was available and all of it could have
14:33
been used against them. So the whole point of me
14:36
doing this article from twenty twenty is to show you
14:39
the kind of information that I'm looking for. I'll let
14:42
everybody else get in the moshpit and look for all
14:45
the salacious bullshit. If we want to get to the
14:48
bottom of what happened, if we want to find out
14:50
who the people were who were involved in this, this
14:54
is the path to be on. And these are the
14:56
questions that we should be asking. And that's because all
15:00
roads to transparency, all roads to justice, lead directly through
15:05
the MPa. All of the information that goes with this
15:09
episode can be found in the description box.
