Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss: Todd Blanche Declares the Epstein Files Closed · The Vault: The Epstein Files

  Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Epstein Chronicles. Now that Pam Bondi's out and Todd Baby
• 0:08
  Billy Blanche is in, he has a message for everybody,
• 0:11
  and that message is the DOJ should move on from
• 0:15
  the Epstein files. And that's because they've been so transparent
• 0:19
  and they've given us all the information that's been required
• 0:23
  by the law, at least according to Todd Blanche. Meanwhile,
• 0:27
  we still have over three million documents that haven't been released.
• 0:31
  And on top of that, Blanche is still not answered
• 0:33
  any questions about Klainne Maxwell. Remember it was Todd Blanche
• 0:39
  who was the architect of all of that. He was
• 0:41
  the one that went and had the meeting with her.
• 0:43
  He's the one that got removed and he's the one
• 0:45
  that needs to answer those questions. Unfortunately, like the rest
• 0:49
  of this administration, he's going to do whatever he wants.
• 0:53
  There's no oversight. There's nobody to step in to provide oversight.
• 0:57
  And that's because we have effectless Congress that's scared of
• 1:00
  the DOJ. And that's really what it comes down to.
• 1:03
  God forbid they step on the toes of their god Emperor.
• 1:08
  Today's article is from MSN Now and the headline, Blanche
• 1:11
  says the DOJ should move on from the Epstein files.
• 1:17
  This article was authored by Sidney Caruth. Acting Attorney General.
• 1:22
  Todd Blanche has made an effort to distance himself from
• 1:25
  the scandal that helped cost his predecessor her job, the
• 1:29
  Justice Department's handling of the release of the Epstein files. Sorry,
• 1:33
  not gonna happen If I have to make an episode
• 1:36
  about Todd Blanche every single day until he's removed from
• 1:39
  this post, that's what we'll do. Enough is enough with
• 1:43
  these people. Let's not act like Todd Blanche wasn't one
• 1:47
  of the architects of what's going on here as Donald
• 1:49
  Trump's personal lawyer. What you don't think he showed up
• 1:52
  looking to defend Donald Trump as opposed to defending the
• 1:55
  survivors or the rest of us, Because that's what it
• 1:59
  looks like. It looks like the only thing that mattered
• 2:02
  was making sure that Donald Trump wasn't embarrassed, And they
• 2:06
  went to the lengths of even moving Glaine Maxwell to
• 2:09
  Camp Brian in pursuit of it. Tell me again how
• 2:14
  this is in a cover up? Can somebody please explain
• 2:18
  to me how in this country that is supposedly dictated
• 2:21
  by oversight and by the constitution. We have a DOJ
• 2:26
  that refuses to do their job, and nobody is talking
• 2:30
  about a special counsel because at this point there's no
• 2:33
  way that anybody can be confident in what the DOJ
• 2:36
  is doing, whether it's Epstein or anything else. Blanche, hours
• 2:42
  after taking the reins as a nation's top prosecutor, insisted
• 2:46
  its time for the DOJ to move on from the
• 2:48
  scrutiny that's plague the DOJ's release of documents related to
• 2:52
  years of investigations into Epstein and his co conspirator Glainne Maxwell. Sorry, Todd, Blanche,
• 2:59
  not gonna happen. In fact, you better gear up because
• 3:03
  when you leave office and when your buddy Donald Trump
• 3:05
  is no longer president, it's going to be game time, buddy,
• 3:10
  and you're gonna be called to the carpet. I think
• 3:14
  that the extent that the Epstein files was part of
• 3:16
  the past year of this Justice Department. It should not
• 3:19
  be part of anything going forward, Blanche said Thursday in
• 3:22
  an interview with Fox News host Jesse Waters. They're telling
• 3:27
  you what they believe. This is exactly what the marching
• 3:29
  orders are from Donald Trump. Well you don't think Trump
• 3:34
  pulled Blanche into the room and said, look, make this
• 3:36
  go away. You want this job full time, make this
• 3:40
  go away. I want to move on. Let's move on
• 3:43
  to other things. Well, there is no moving on because
• 3:47
  this affects everything else. So if you want to move on, great,
• 3:51
  me personally, never gonna happen, not until there's a real investigation,
• 3:56
  not until there's tangible results. Blanche said that the DOJ
• 4:01
  has now released all the files with respect to the
• 4:04
  Epstein saga, but even according to his own statements, that's
• 4:08
  not true. Well, of course it's not. All they do
• 4:11
  is lie. All this administration does is lie about Jeffrey
• 4:14
  Epstein every day, which is wild considering it's the most
• 4:20
  transparent administration in history, right right. He said in January
• 4:26
  that the DOJ had reviewed but would not release millions
• 4:30
  of pages of files that he has claimed are protected
• 4:33
  by one or more privileges, but does not give the
• 4:36
  DOJ any right the whole back documents on privileged grounds
• 4:40
  or for the reasons other than those expressly mentioned in
• 4:43
  the law itself. He can just do whatever he wants,
• 4:45
  is basically what he's saying, and that this law that
• 4:48
  was codified by Congress, and the President has nothing to
• 4:51
  do with the DJ. They've met their burden already. They've
• 4:55
  given you everything. And if you're still wanting more, you're
• 4:59
  a trader and you're a conspiracy theorist. President Donald Trump's
• 5:06
  decision to fire a Bondie followed frustration over her failure
• 5:09
  to successfully prosecute as perceived political enemies and enforce his
• 5:14
  policy agenda. She's also faced by partisan backlash over her
• 5:18
  department's handling of the Epstein files. Well, she should. You
• 5:23
  want to talk about a piss poor job, Let me
• 5:26
  introduce you to Pam Bondi. Has there ever been a
• 5:29
  worse Attorney General? I don't know. She might be the
• 5:32
  worst of all time. The DOJ missed a congressionally mandated
• 5:37
  December nineteenth deadline by months for the full release of
• 5:40
  the Epstein files. The law required redactions to protect victim identities,
• 5:45
  but left no room for redactions that protected the identities
• 5:48
  of powerful individuals. Bondi justified her department's failure to comply
• 5:53
  with the release deadline by saying the department was working
• 5:56
  around the clock to ensure victim identities were a proper
• 6:00
  really protected. What she meant was protecting the identities of
• 6:04
  the people that were engaging in this bullshit. That's what
• 6:07
  she really means, because we know that the survivors' names
• 6:10
  were plastered all over these documents. Meanwhile, we have a
• 6:14
  bunch of scumbags who are engaging and god knows what
• 6:17
  with Jeffrey Epstein, who are still being protected. But ms
• 6:21
  now's review of the documents released by the DOJ found
• 6:25
  that despite Bondi's vow and sworn obligation to protect the
• 6:28
  identities of victims, the DOJ is produced troves of documents
• 6:33
  revealing the names and other identifying details of Epstein's known survivors. Unacceptable.
• 6:41
  How is it that they can just flaunt the law
• 6:43
  like this with no repercussions. Nobody's showing up at the
• 6:48
  DOJ demanding justice as far as Congress goes, and when
• 6:54
  they do, they just get laughed at. And that's because
• 6:57
  Congress has proven time and time again they don't have
• 6:59
  any teeth, no courage, no teeth. All they have time
• 7:02
  for is stupid ass statements for the camera. That's it.
• 7:07
  The survivors previously disclosed that documents released by the DOJ
• 7:11
  included their real names, and in some instances nude images
• 7:15
  without adequate redaction. Meanwhile, the identities of powerful men remain
• 7:21
  largely shielded, all by design. I don't believe that it
• 7:24
  was an oversight, not at this point, and I don't
• 7:26
  believe it was a mistake. In fact, at this point,
• 7:28
  I believe that it was some kind of intimidation in
• 7:31
  order to get people from coming forward. They want this
• 7:34
  to go away. They don't want this to grow, they
• 7:36
  don't want it to mushroom. They don't want this to
• 7:38
  become something more than it is, at least not for them.
• 7:42
  That's worst case scenario for Washington, DC. Imagine if people
• 7:45
  really understood the scope of what's going on the way
• 7:48
  you folks understand it. But Blanche and Bondi's testimony did
• 7:55
  little to a suoge Wambaker's concerns about releasing the files
• 7:59
  ahead of her dismissal. Bondi was formerly subpoenaed by Kentucky
• 8:02
  Representative James Comer, the Republican chair of the House Oversight Committee,
• 8:07
  to testify before the committee as part of its ongoing
• 8:10
  investigation into the DOJ's handling of the Epstein files. And
• 8:16
  I think that she was fired to try and avoid this.
• 8:19
  I don't think Trump wants her up there making a
• 8:21
  fool of herself again. I think that somebody's gotten to
• 8:25
  Trump and let them know, Look, this is not a
• 8:27
  good look. As much as you want this to go away,
• 8:30
  as much as you want these files to not be
• 8:32
  talked about, Bondy's not the one to pass the message
• 8:35
  on to the people. When you have somebody up there
• 8:38
  that's supposed to be talking about one of the worst
• 8:41
  trafficking situations in American history and she starts rambling about
• 8:46
  the Dow and the S and P five hundred Houston.
• 8:50
  We have a fucking problem, and that problem's name is
• 8:54
  Pam Bondi. The subpoena marked a sign of the growing
• 8:57
  tension between Bondi and her fellow Republican. Whether Bondi has
• 9:01
  to appear before the House Oversight Committee for deposition on
• 9:04
  April fourteenth remains to be decided. South Carolina Representative Nancy Mace,
• 9:10
  a Republican on the committee, who pushed a subpoena. Bondi
• 9:14
  celebrated or firing in all post it on X on Wednesday.
• 9:18
  It's unclear how long Blanche will be at the Helm
• 9:21
  of the DOJ, with rumors already swirling about who Trump
• 9:24
  will formally appoint to replace Bondi, but it's clear he
• 9:27
  wants his time as acting Attorney General to be free
• 9:31
  of the ongoing Epstein File saga. In that case, we're
• 9:35
  going to talk about it even more. Oh, Baby Billy Blanche,
• 9:39
  does that bother you? Are you annoyed by us talking
• 9:42
  about the Epstein Files? Well? Cool, here's another thirty six episodes.
• 9:49
  Do these people really think that everyone's just gonna move on,
• 9:52
  That everybody's just going to say, you know what, that's it.
• 9:55
  We've seen enough here, and Baby Billy Blanche is right,
• 9:58
  it's time for everybody to move on, because I don't
• 10:02
  think that's what's going to happen. And I think that
• 10:05
  as soon as Iran is finished up, I think this
• 10:08
  is going to explode, especially considering we have midterms coming up,
• 10:13
  and before you know it, it's going to be twenty
• 10:15
  twenty eight and we're going to be deep in election
• 10:18
  season and you better believe that people running for office
• 10:22
  are going to make an issue out of the Epstein Files.
• 10:25
  So if Blanche and Donald Trump want to run away
• 10:28
  from this stuff, that's cool. But the rest of us.
• 10:31
  There's no moving on. There is only moving forward. All
• 10:35
