Broken Protocol: How Epstein’s Death Defied Procedure (Part 2) (4/24/26) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Epstein Chronicles. The whole entire situation surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's death
• 0:10
  has been shady, to say the least, from the very beginning,
• 0:15
  and no matter how much time goes by, I still
• 0:17
  can't wrap my head around how badly they botched the
• 0:20
  whole investigation. We're not talking about some random guy who
• 0:24
  has picked up on a petty charge. This was Jeffrey
• 0:26
  fucking Epstein, a due tie to billionaires, ex president's royal CEOs,
• 0:31
  half the goddamn Forbes list, and they treated him like
• 0:34
  some low level nobody in holding for shoplifting. You'd think
• 0:39
  with the names he could drop, they'd guard his ass
• 0:41
  like the Crown Jewels. Instead, it was amateur hour from
• 0:45
  start to finish. We're supposed to believe that one of
• 0:48
  the most watched inmates in America just happened to kill
• 0:50
  himself in one of the most secure jails in the
• 0:53
  country under constant supervision, while every single safeguard breaks down
• 0:57
  at the exact same time of bad luck. Huh More
• 1:02
  like the setup for a bad movie. You had guards
• 1:05
  who were asleep on the job, like literally sleeping and
• 1:08
  others who falsified bogs to make it look like they'd
• 1:10
  done their rounds. Cameras conveniently malfunctioned right outside his cell,
• 1:15
  the only selling the entire facility anyone in the right
• 1:18
  mind would actually want footage from. They said the camera
• 1:21
  memory cards were corrupted and couldn't be recovered. That's like
• 1:25
  saying the fire alarm broke during a fire. What are
• 1:27
  the odds right? Add to the fact that his cellmate
• 1:31
  was mysteriously transferred the night before, leaving them alone despite
• 1:34
  protocol requiring two inmates per cell after a suicide attempt.
• 1:39
  You might call that negligence, but it looks like obstruction
• 1:43
  to me. Then there's the timeline. None of it fits.
• 1:47
  The supposed suicide happens in the window when the guards
• 1:50
  were asleep, the checks weren't done, and the cameras were off.
• 1:54
  No witnesses, no footage, no accountability. They found them with
• 1:58
  bed sheets that somehow poorted, a full grown man's weight
• 2:01
  tied to a bunk frame that was barely higher than
• 2:04
  his knees, and yet his neck bones were fractured in
• 2:07
  ways that line up more with strangulation than hanging. Even
• 2:10
  the medical examiner couldn't make sense of it. Doctor Boden,
• 2:13
  the former NYC corner, straight up said that the injuries
• 2:16
  didn't match suicide by hanging. But the official story rolled
• 2:20
  out like a press release. Case closed, folks, Nothing to
• 2:23
  see here. The so called investigation that followed, please, it
• 2:27
  was a joke from the jump. The FBI and the
• 2:30
  DOJ did their review, but they didn't release squat no
• 2:34
  full timeline, no sell inspection records, no interviews that went anywhere,
• 2:39
  just a couple of sleepy press conferences with the same
• 2:41
  rehearsed lines. Were committed to transparency, sure you are. They
• 2:46
  barely even talked to the people who might have actually
• 2:49
  known what went down that night. And don't get me
• 2:51
  started on Bill Barr actinglike he was shocked, then backing
• 2:54
  the suicide conclusion before the dust even settled. And then
• 2:58
  like clockwork, everyone got to disciplined, which in government speaks
• 3:02
  means quietly reassigned, given paid leave. Nobody got fired for
• 3:06
  letting the most infamous sex trafficker and modern history die
• 3:09
  on their watch. They just handed out risk labs and
• 3:11
  moved on. You had two guards who admitted to falsifying records,
• 3:15
  and they walked away with probation, no jail time. Think
• 3:18
  about that, Epstein's dead, the cameras are off, the guards lied,
• 3:22
  and somehow they get to go home and watch TV
• 3:25
  while the rest of us are told to swallow the
• 3:27
  official story. If any of us pull that same stunt
• 3:30
  at a warehouse, a factory, or hell, even McDonald's, we'd
• 3:33
  be fired and facing charges before the day was over.
• 3:37
  The thing that really gets me is how quickly they
• 3:40
  buried this story. One week its front page news, the
• 3:43
  next it's like it never happened, and you could tell
• 3:45
  from the start that they wanted it gone. The press
• 3:48
  got limited access, witnesses went silent, and every document worth
• 3:52
  reading got buried under ongoing investigation nonsense that never produced
• 3:58
  a single clear answer. The Bureau of Prisons acted like
• 4:01
  a deer in headlights, the DOJ ran interference, and the
• 4:05
  media stopped asking hard questions the second it stopped trending.
• 4:09
  It's like they all looked at each other and decided,
• 4:11
  all right, enough truth for today, and yo, let's be real.
• 4:15
  The idea like a guy like Epstein who had dirt
• 4:17
  on some of the most powerful people on the planet,
• 4:20
  just conveniently died before naming names yeah, pull the other one.
• 4:24
  We've all seen the movie before. Every time a scandal
• 4:27
  threatens the elite, something unfortunate happens, and the people who
• 4:31
  might have talked end up silent permanently. The system closes ranks,
• 4:36
  throws a few crumbs to the public, and moves on.
• 4:39
  This trick was old when Jesus was young, and look,
• 4:43
  the story never made sense then, and it makes even
• 4:45
  less sense now. Nobody can explain where the missing footage went,
• 4:49
  why the cell mate vanished, why the suicide watch was lifted,
• 4:52
  or why the autopsy doesn't line up with the narrative.
• 4:55
  They keep saying, we may never know the full truth. Well,
• 4:59
  that's bureaucrac speak for we already do, but we're not
• 5:02
  telling you. It's insulting. They're not even trying to make
• 5:06
  the lie convincing anymore. Nobody at the top got burned
• 5:10
  for this. Not one warden, not one supervisor, not one
• 5:13
  DOJ official, just the usual government shuffle denied the fleck delay,
• 5:19
  the same machine that protected Epstein while he was alive.
• 5:22
  May damn sure he couldn't talk when it mattered. Most
• 5:24
  they called it a tragedy, but it was a clean
• 5:26
  up job. Planning simple. So yeah, the narrative didn't make
• 5:30
  sense then, and sure Azelle doesn't know the whole thing
• 5:33
  reeks a rot from top down. Epstein might be gone,
• 5:36
  but the stink from that cover up is still thick
• 5:38
  in the air. Every time they tell us to trust
• 5:41
  the system, I can't help but laugh, because if that's
• 5:44
  what justice looks like, we're all screwed. The system didn't fail.
• 5:48
  It performed exactly how it was designed to protect its
• 5:52
  own and bury the rest and the rest of us
• 5:55
  we're just left staring at the wreckage, shaking our heads, knowing,
• 5:58
  damn well get the truth. Today's article is from CBS
• 6:04
  and the headline in cell where Jeffrey Epstein died a
• 6:07
  scene of disarray that never underwent thorough inspection, experts said.
• 6:14
  This article was authored by Daniel Rutnick, Graham Kates, and
• 6:18
  Kara Tebatschnik. The federal investigation into the death of convicted
• 6:23
  sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was marred by significant lapses, experts
• 6:27
  told CBS News, including the failure by investigators to interview
• 6:32
  potential witnesses, properly, preserve certain evidence, and run basic forensic tests.
• 6:38
  And this is all stuff we've been talking about for
• 6:40
  years now. I mean, this is not new news. All
• 6:44
  of this stuff came out at the time, and we
• 6:46
  were told to get stuffed. It's an ongoing investigation. You
• 6:49
  can't have that information yet. We'll release this information someday,
• 6:54
  but today's not the day. And that's been the song
• 6:57
  and dance we've received from the government whenever we've tried
• 6:59
  to get answers, and I'm talking about Freedom of Information
• 7:03
  Act requests, etc. It's been one stonewall after the other.
• 7:08
  And that's because they know the investigation was garbage. They
• 7:11
  know that they didn't do the things they were supposed
• 7:13
  to do, and they don't want the rest of us
• 7:15
  to know it. Nearly two years past before investigators interviewed
• 7:20
  the top key corrections officers on duty the night Epstein
• 7:23
  died in his cell in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in
• 7:26
  downtown New York City and what was later ruled as suicide.
• 7:30
  According to court documents, one of those officers was the
• 7:33
  only person to attest to seeing Epstein hanging by a
• 7:36
  bed sheet from his bunk, Like, come on, man, how
• 7:39
  can anyone out here really just buy into what they're
• 7:42
  telling us and just accepted hook line and Sinker like,
• 7:47
  I just don't understand if they've bullshitted us about everything else. Basically,
• 7:52
  you really think they're going to give you the truth. Here,
• 7:56
  we're still getting JFK documents at a slow role, but
• 8:00
  all of a sudden we're getting full transparency about what
• 8:03
  happened with Epstein. The idea is thrown out the clock.
• 8:06
  The idea is to wait for you to fatigue. And
• 8:11
  details pulled from the ninety photos of the cell and
• 8:15
  other evidence collected in the hours after Epstein's death, but
• 8:18
  before FBI agents arrived to process the scene, appear to
• 8:21
  show a succession of basic oversights, ranging from an absence
• 8:25
  of evidence markers to items being moved, experts told CBS News,
• 8:30
  which shouldn't even happen. The scene should be treated as
• 8:34
  a crime scene. Every death in prison or jail is
• 8:37
  looked at as a homicide first, and that obviously didn't
• 8:41
  happen here, and they didn't follow a protocol from the
• 8:44
  very beginning, and that's led us to a place where
• 8:47
  we are today. And it's my assertion that that was
• 8:51
  always the plan. Confusion, that's their best defense right to
• 8:55
  have everybody arguing about what happened. They'll fire off some
• 8:59
  numbskull ass narrative. Some people will buy into it, other
• 9:02
  people have questions, but it gives them the cover they need. Well,
• 9:07
  we have an ongoing investigation. We can't give you any information.
• 9:10
  And then they thrive in the confusion because when people
• 9:13
  are confused, it's much easier to control the narrative, right,
• 9:16
  And that's why you see all of these crazy storylines
• 9:19
  that intersect when it comes to Epstein. That's all by design,
• 9:22
  and that's why we don't go on any of these
• 9:23
  crazy ass goose chases here on the podcast. That's what
• 9:26
  they want. They want everybody to sound crazy as fuck
• 9:29
  and chasing ghosts. Well, they're not going to get their
• 9:32
  wish here. The FBI literally has all of the best tools,
• 9:36
  I mean spared no expense, They have every tool you
• 9:38
  can imagine, and they use none of it as far
• 9:40
  as we can tell. Forensic analysis Nick Barrerio said, after
• 9:44
  reviewing the photos, many of which have never been published,
• 9:48
  How are there not way more people pointing out this
• 9:51
  absurdity of this, Well, thank you for showing up to
• 9:53
  the party, Nick Barrerio, because I've been pointing this out
• 9:56
  for years. None of it made sense then and it
• 9:59
  doesn't make sense now. The whole entire so called investigation
• 10:05
  was straight up trash and it was designed to fail.
• 10:08
  If you think that investigation was launched to get answers,
• 10:11
  you're crazy. In my opinion, they already have those answers,
• 10:15
  and the answer is Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself. The
• 10:22
  images were previously obtained by sixty minutes after the recent
• 10:25
  release of surveillance video from the night Epstein died, which
• 10:28
  appeared to show details that contradicted official reports. CBS reviewed
• 10:33
  them and other documents with several forensic experts, and while
• 10:36
  I appreciate CBS showing up to the party, they're a
• 10:39
  bit late. We could have used you folks shown up
• 10:41
  to the party a few years ago, because there's no
• 10:43
  way we're getting a full picture about what went on now,
• 10:47
  how much evidence has been degraded, how much evidence has
• 10:50
  been destroyed. The results of the federal investigation were made
• 10:55
  public in twenty twenty three, four years after Epstein's death,
• 10:59
  in a report by the Department of Justice Office of
• 11:01
  Inspector General. It concluded that the financier who entered a
• 11:06
  guilty plea in two thousand and eight on state level
• 11:08
  charges of procuring a child for prostitution died by suicide.
• 11:13
  That matched the finding shared by Attorney General William Barr,
• 11:16
  who told Congress in August he had no doubt that
• 11:19
  Epstein had taken his own life. But lingering questions raised
• 11:23
  by individuals, including Epstein's lawyers and brother, have fueled continued
• 11:28
  speculation and suspicion. And it should Why should anyone just
• 11:33
  accept the narrative? That's the question I have, and that
• 11:35
  goes forward both sides of the aisle. Whenever we have
• 11:38
  a Republican in charge, the Democrats don't trust the FBI
• 11:41
  all of a sudden, and then when a Democrat's in charge,
• 11:44
  it's the same thing. Meanwhile, I'm over here telling you
• 11:47
  that none of that shit matters. Meet the new boss
• 11:50
  and is the old boss. And what I mean by
• 11:52
  that is nothing's going to change. And that's because the
• 11:54
  president's just a placeholder. Every four or eight years, a
• 11:57
  new person comes in, out with the old, in with
• 12:00
  the new. But guess what remains the people that are
• 12:04
  making those decisions behind the scenes, And unfortunately, those are
• 12:08
  the very same people that were in lockstep with Epstein.
• 12:11
  I do not believe he died by suicide. No. Epstein's
• 12:14
  co defendant Glaine Maxwell said this summer during her interview
• 12:17
  in August with Deputy US Attorney General Todd Baby Billy
• 12:21
  Blanche Well Glene Maxwell a real paragon of virtue. Huh.
• 12:26
  But even liars tell the truth sometimes, And I have
• 12:30
  to agree. I can't believe I'm saying that with Glenn
• 12:33
  Maxwell when she says she doesn't think that he killed himself.
• 12:37
  I don't think he killed himself either, not willingly. Now,
• 12:40
  maybe he did so because he was ordered to do it,
• 12:44
  you know, tartag leone sending the message and then Epstein
• 12:48
  killing himself and finishing the job. But I don't think
• 12:51
  he did it on his own, not without some motivation.
• 12:55
  And that's because if you talk to everybody around him,
• 12:58
  all of his family, his friends, his lawyers, even the psychologists,
• 13:01
  there were no signs that the do was suicidal. Epstein's
• 13:06
  brother Mark told Sixty Minutes in twenty twenty that in
• 13:09
  his view, the evidence he has seen to date points
• 13:12
  more to murder than suicide. Five years later, he still
• 13:16
  questions the investigation. This was never properly investigated as a
• 13:20
  proper homicide. It was never investigated. Mark Epstein told CBS
• 13:24
  News recently. Nothing about the CBS News review into the
• 13:29
  investigation of Epstein's death suggests foul play. Oh yeah, but
• 13:33
  the review found that the federal probe did not follow
• 13:36
  typical investigative procedures into the suspicious death. Yeah, so we'll
• 13:41
  just bumble our way through it and then we'll use
• 13:43
  that as our cover. They think you're stupid, That's what
• 13:46
  this is all about. They truly think you're stupid. Don't
• 13:49
  fall for it. The reason they had this shoddy ass
• 13:52
  investigation is so that later on down the road they
• 13:55
  can say, oh, look, mistakes were made. There was some
• 13:58
  serious errors, and our personnelle wasn't trained correctly to deal
• 14:02
  with it. Meanwhile, nobody's been trained up. Everything's still the same.
• 14:06
  So when it happens again, it'll be the same bullshit. Right.
• 14:10
  Oh wait, it's not gonna happen again, because this kind
• 14:12
  of thing very rarely happens. And you can go and
• 14:16
  look at MCC and look at the people who have
• 14:18
  died there. It's not like people were killing themselves on
• 14:20
  a regular basis. So the whole entire narrative is stunk
• 14:24
  from the jump, and it stinks even more now. And
• 14:28
  the more they double down on this narrative, the more
• 14:31
  suspicious it looks. All Right, folks, we're gonna wrap up
• 14:34
  episode one right here, and in the next episode we're
• 14:37
  gonna pick up where we left off. All of the
• 14:40
  information that goes with this episode can be found in
• 14:43
  the description box.
