Latest / The Vault: The Epstein Files / Mega Edition: Jeffrey Epstein And The Warden Overseeing His Stay At MCC (5/2/26)
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Going to talk about the warden who was in charge
- 0:05of the facility when Jeffrey Epstein allegedly killed himself. Now,
- 0:11you would think that the Bureau of Prisons, which has
- 0:15literally thousands upon thousands upon thousands of employees, would be
- 0:20able to dig into the well and find somebody else
- 0:26to be the warden of a prison. Well, if that's
- 0:32what you thought, you're giving the Bureau of Prisons and
- 0:37the Department of Justice way too much credit. Because, just
- 0:42like in the NFL, all of these terribly horrible coaches
- 0:48who end up being retreads and getting new jobs elsewhere,
- 0:52I guess it's the same for wardens within the prison system.
- 0:58Because this person who was in charge of the whole
- 1:02shebang the night that Jeffrey Epstein died should not have
- 1:07a job. And furthermore, how is it that his employees,
- 1:11the two lowly guards, are the only ones charged. Yet
- 1:15this guy gets to go on as Merry Way and
- 1:19in fact is given a plush new assignment. Now, who
- 1:25are we gonna blame? Now? We can't blame Trump, we
- 1:27can't blame bar So who do we blame, folks? That's right,
- 1:34the people who are in charge. Now, that would be
- 1:37President Biden and his team. Why are they allowing this
- 1:44to occur? I'll tell you why, because it's meet the
- 1:49new boss, same as the old boss. It's just packaged
- 1:56better now, right, not as mean to people. But the
- 2:00fact of the matter is what's really going to change,
- 2:03And with reports like this out certainly doesn't look like
- 2:07much at least within the Bureau of Prisons. And why
- 2:10should it. It's been a shit show for decades and
- 2:16as long as they can continue to put people in
- 2:18prison for profit, why are they ever going to change anything?
- 2:24But I find it disgusting, to be honest with you,
- 2:29that this man is put in charge of another facility
- 2:35on the heels of what occurred at MCC. Instead of
- 2:40being placed in a new position, he should have been fired.
- 2:48Our article tonight is from AP News and the authors
- 2:53are Michael Balsamo and Michael R. Sissak. The warden who
- 3:01ran the beleaguered federal jail where disgraced financier pedophile Jeffrey
- 3:07Epstein killed himself allegedly has been put in charge of
- 3:10another prison, despite an ongoing federal investigation and in direct
- 3:16contradiction of a public pronouncement from the Bureau of Prisons
- 3:20that it would delay any move until the inquiry was finished.
- 3:25Sure sounds fishy to me. Now, why would the Bureau
- 3:30of Prisons move this guy over while there is an
- 3:34ongoing investigation into the facility that he was running and
- 3:38into the conduct of all that were there, including him.
- 3:42Don't you think this would be a prudent time for
- 3:45this person to be suspended, I mean, with pay or
- 3:48whatever pending investigation. But why are they in charge of
- 3:51another facility? Have we learned nothing? Are we just going
- 3:56to let people like this continue to be in charge
- 4:00charge of these facilities where these inmates are being housed
- 4:06in the whole entire Bureau of Prisons employee roster. They
- 4:12can't come up with somebody better. This is the person
- 4:16that they settled on. Huh. It is mind boggling to
- 4:23me that this man would be given this position. Honestly,
- 4:30I think that if his prison guards are being charged
- 4:37with felonies, then I think he should be charged as
- 4:39well for negligence. Where was he the night this occurred?
- 4:43Where was the guy that's underneath him who was in
- 4:45charge of the jail that night? Obviously nobody? And furthermore,
- 4:51how did Jeffrey Epstein get all of that shit into
- 4:53his cell where there are no safeguards in place. Nobody
- 4:57needs all of that, all of those that clothing and whatnot.
- 5:02So the fact that this dude is being shuffled around
- 5:05and moved to a different facility makes you wonder, doesn't it.
- 5:11This guy's like the Wade Phillips of Warden's at this point,
- 5:18and the fact that there's an ongoing investigation and they
- 5:23still put them there, it's just I can't I don't
- 5:26even understand, because whenever someone asks for information about one
- 5:30of these cases and there's an ongoing investigation, that's what
- 5:33they use as an excuse not to be transparent. But
- 5:36now that they have an ongoing investigation that this man
- 5:39is certainly part of, it's okay for them to do
- 5:43whatever they want and just put him in charge of
- 5:45a different facility, because I mean, at the end of
- 5:48the day, we all know that it's a two tiered
- 5:50system and they make the rules and where expected to
- 5:54follow them. So I'm gonna slaughter this guy's name when
- 5:58I say it. But here we go. Lemine and Die
- 6:02was placed into the position of acting Warden at FCI
- 6:06Fort Dix, a low security prison in Burlington County, New Jersey,
- 6:10earlier this month. According to four people familiar with the matter,
- 6:15they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and
- 6:19spoke on condition of anonymity. Oh that's nice. I mean,
- 6:24it's nice to see the Bureau of Prisons as being
- 6:26so transparent that people that are aware of the situation
- 6:30have to speak in an anonymous fashion. So what they
- 6:35don't get reprisals from the federal Bureau of Prisons. What
- 6:39a bunch of brutes. The bureaucracy in this country is
- 6:45a big problem, folks, a huge problem. There was never
- 6:49supposed to be a political class, wasn't supposed to be
- 6:53a career. But yet here we are these people such
- 6:59as as Lamine and I who were involved in this
- 7:04and were at the end of the day, in charge
- 7:07of the operation. Right, he's the one who is in charge,
- 7:11He's the warden. The buck stops with him. That's how
- 7:13it works when you're in charge, Right, you're the one
- 7:15who stands up tall before the wagon. With great rewards
- 7:22also comes great risks. So if you're gonna be the man,
- 7:26and you're going to be the warden of this prison,
- 7:29when something goes wrong, such as this, You should do
- 7:34the right thing and resign. Never mind all of this maneuvering,
- 7:38never mind all of this shuffling him around. What is
- 7:40he a Catholic priest? Absolutely ludicrous that this man still
- 7:47has a job. I hear the government's given out three
- 7:50hundred extra a week in unemployment. Homie, About time you
- 7:54get a little taste of that. Like the rest of
- 7:55the middle class. Zuo had attempted the place and die
- 8:02in the job at Fort Dix about a year ago,
- 8:04but the move was stopped by then Attorney General William
- 8:08Barr after the Associated Press reported the transfer. Well, what
- 8:12do you know, Darth Barr stood up Paul before the
- 8:17wagon and stopped this ridiculous move. I wonder where Merrick
- 8:24Garland is. Why wasn't that done again? Why was this
- 8:27man allowed to be given this position at this new facility?
- 8:33These questions have to be asked, right, Just like with
- 8:36this warden. The new administration's in charge and the buck
- 8:40stops with them, so they better have some answers for
- 8:45this right. Oh yeah, wait, I forgot that would take
- 8:48a legacy media who actually gave a damn a legacy
- 8:51media that might actually ask a question or two about
- 8:54Jeffrey Epstein at the press conference, but that that'll never
- 8:58happen because all of these legacy media clowns are in
- 9:05the bag. Folks, They are all in the bag. It's
- 9:08all happy days now, don't you know. The boogeyman was ousted,
- 9:12so we can all get on getting on and we
- 9:14can those of us who are paying attention. Now we
- 9:16can go back to forgetting about the absolute corruption at
- 9:23the highest levels of government and elsewhere. That's what they
- 9:27would have you think that everything's fine now, folks, time
- 9:30to go back to sleep. Well, I have news for you.
- 9:36The toothpaste is not going back in the tube. We
- 9:39know what we know, and it doesn't matter what letter
- 9:43is in front of the president's name or the administration
- 9:46in charge. Certain things must occur. And if they don't, well,
- 9:55whoever's in charge, that's the person who gets the blame.
- 10:02And so far, Merrick Garland is not impressing me, folks,
- 10:06not in the least. The Bureau said at the time
- 10:11that it would defer any transfer until the investigation surrounding
- 10:15Epstein's twenty nineteen death had concluded. And that's logical, right,
- 10:20That's definitely a logical way to go about it. You
- 10:23can't be moving anybody around if they're still part of
- 10:26an investigation. But I guess the new administration has other plans.
- 10:30I guess they have a different idea on culpability. The
- 10:37Justice Department Inspector General has not completed an investigation into
- 10:42lapses that allowed Epstein to end his life. Let me
- 10:45just go ahead and get out in front of it. Okay,
- 10:47there was a lot of mistakes that were made. Nothing
- 10:50was done on purpose. Epstein wasn't allowed to hurt himself.
- 10:54It was just a tragic failure of the system. Mark
- 10:57my words. That's what the inspector General's report is going
- 11:01to read, maybe not word for word obviously, but paraphrasing.
- 11:05That's going to be the gist of it, because when
- 11:07has one of these internal investigations ever turned anything up.
- 11:15Officials have said they would not conclude the criminal case
- 11:18against two officers who were supposed to be guarding Epstein
- 11:22before the watchdog's review could finish. Those officers are awaiting
- 11:27trial on charges they lied on prison records because they
- 11:30were sleeping and browsing the internet instead of doing their jobs. Well,
- 11:34that's funny. Where was their superior officer who was overseeing
- 11:39them to make sure that they weren't on those computers.
- 11:42Those people are people, aren't culpable. The lieutenant on duty
- 11:46is not culpable. His boss isn't. Oh, I guess that
- 11:49only happens in the real world, right, Because in the
- 11:53real world, if you're the manager on duty and something
- 11:57like this goes wrong, I have news for you. Your
- 11:59getting in the full brunt of whatever went wrong. If
- 12:02you're a manager on duty, you are the person that
- 12:07is left holding the bag. But we haven't seen any
- 12:11of that, just these two lowly guards. And now there
- 12:14the ex warden gets a little pat on the head
- 12:18and moved over into a new position. Yeah. That doesn't
- 12:23sit well, folks. In fact, it's kind of revolting. The
- 12:30department is also conducting an internal review into the circumstances
- 12:34that led to Epstein's death, including why he wasn't given
- 12:38a cell mate what well, maybe because they didn't want
- 12:44him to get Oh wait, it didn't matter cell mate
- 12:47or not. What transpired here was going to transpire one
- 12:52way or the other. The Bureau of Prisons acting like
- 12:58the whole the cell mat thing is he huge deal
- 13:00is ridiculous. There should have been a camera pointed directly
- 13:03on this man's cell, and there should have been somebody
- 13:06watching that camera at all times. And the people who
- 13:10were in charge of watching that camera say it was
- 13:13these two guards who ended up falling asleep. Their boss
- 13:15should have been there to wake them up. But no,
- 13:19none of that occurred. And the only people that are
- 13:23in trouble, the only people facing felonies at this point,
- 13:26are these two guards. The Bureau refused to answer questions
- 13:33about why it was once again transferring and die, despite
- 13:36the continuing investigation whether senior agency officials had sought approval
- 13:41from the top levels of the Justice Department or who
- 13:44authorized the transfer. Pretty sure that they would have to
- 13:48get approval from on high. Right, again, this isn't something
- 13:53that just happens at a local level. We're talking about
- 13:55a federal bureaucracy here, of folks. Someone signed off on this.
- 14:00Now it'll be a game of oh, it wasn't us.
- 14:03If the heat gets too hot, right, you'll see the
- 14:06Department of Justice pass the blame onto the Bureau of Prisons,
- 14:09and the Bureau of Prisons pass it back to the
- 14:11Department of Justice, and it'll muddy the waters and Eventually
- 14:15it'll be so confusing that nothing ever comes of it. Oh,
- 14:19they love doing that, don't they. The warden's reassignment points
- 14:27to further dysfunction inside an agency already under fire on
- 14:31a number of fronts, chronic violence and staffing issues at
- 14:35its facilities, the high profile deaths of Epstein and Whitey Bulger,
- 14:40a coronavirus outbreak at federal prisons that sickened thousands of
- 14:43inmates and led to two hundred and twenty inmate deaths,
- 14:47and an unprecedented number of executions in the span of
- 14:51just a few months after a seventeen year hiatus. Yeah,
- 14:56the Trump administration towards the end there when a little
- 15:00with the carrying out of death sentences. Now, I'm only
- 15:05a fan of death sentences in the most strictest of
- 15:10manners with a lot of evidence and where it's pretty
- 15:14much one hundred percent that the people committed the crimes.
- 15:18But there was like a wave of executions. Now, I'm
- 15:26not going to hold that against this ward No, that's
- 15:28not really his gig, right. His job is to do
- 15:32what he is told by the superiors, and if part
- 15:34of that function is to be involved in these executions,
- 15:38then Hey, that's part of it. So we can be
- 15:41mad at him for being an absolute clown, an absolute joker,
- 15:44and an absolute moron. But again, if we want to
- 15:47point fingers at the death penalty, then those fingers should
- 15:51be pointing at the lawmakers. Right. Bar ordered to die
- 15:58be assigned to a death post at the Bureau's regional
- 16:01office in Pennsylvania after Epstein's death, as the FBI and
- 16:05Inspector General investigated. Epstein took his own life allegedly in
- 16:10August twenty nineteen at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New
- 16:14York City while awaiting trial on charges he sexually abused
- 16:18girls as young as fourteen and young women in New
- 16:23York and Florida in the early two thousands. So up
- 16:27until recently, this guy was on desk duty. What changed, Well,
- 16:32a new administration came in, and the new administration, forty
- 16:35six's administration, thought that it was a good idea, I guess,
- 16:39to redistribute some of the love and send mister and
- 16:44die to another position where he could be warden and
- 16:48oversee the welfare of prisoner's staff. And you know, I
- 16:54guess because he did such a great job the other
- 16:57time around, just you know, just natural that they went
- 17:03out on a limb here and gave him this new job.
- 17:07I said to that vafongoul. Okay. His suicide cast a
- 17:18spotlight on the Federal prison Agency, which has been plagued
- 17:22for years by a staffing shortage and violence and on
- 17:25safety lapses inside one of the most secure jails in America.
- 17:30In recent months, the Bureau has struggled to address the
- 17:33exploding number of coronavirus cases amid criticism that it didn't
- 17:37do enough to stop the spread of the virus. Oh,
- 17:39give me a break already. Okay, we can pin a
- 17:42lot of stuff on the Bureau of Prisons, But what
- 17:45are they supposed to do. You have a bunch of
- 17:47people in close contact. How are they supposed to social distance?
- 17:53So all of the other stuff definitely valid criticisms of
- 17:57how these facilities are being managed, But the coronavirus is
- 18:02just it's something that is so unmanageable in the best
- 18:07of times. But you put all of these people together
- 18:09and you think there's some sort of magic bullet that's
- 18:12going to stop people from spreading this virus. I think
- 18:16it's absurd to try and blame that on the prison system.
- 18:22And die is being placed out of prison where more
- 18:25than sixty one percent of the inmates have tested positive
- 18:27for the virus. As of Monday, the Bureau said on
- 18:31six hundred and ten of them had recovered. Thirty six
- 18:34staff members at the prison also have current positive test
- 18:38results for the virus, and one inmate died. So sixty
- 18:43one percent of the inmates that are at the facility
- 18:47tested positive, but only one of those inmates died. I'd
- 18:51say that they're doing a pretty good job when it
- 18:53comes to managing the COVID situation, folks. Shortly before in
- 18:58Dye's move, the former warden at Fort Dix was reassigned
- 19:02to the agency's regional office, weeks after members of Congress
- 19:06from New Jersey raised questions about the number of coronavirus
- 19:09cases at the prison and concerns about the transfer of
- 19:13federal inmates. They're more concerned about the coronavirus stuff because
- 19:17that plays politically with them than they were about Epstein
- 19:22dying at prison. At the prison, can you imagine these
- 19:26people about all kinds of meetings and all sorts of
- 19:30sit downs about this coronavirus situation in jail. But Jeffrey
- 19:34Epstein we'll get around to that when we get to it.
- 19:39The letter, signed by Democratic Senators Robert Menendez Absolute kleptocratic
- 19:44criminal and Corey Booker and Tenhouse Democrats, said it was
- 19:48clear that BP does not have an effective plan to
- 19:51ensure COVID nineteen positive incarcerated individuals are not transferred between facilities. Well,
- 19:58I think that's actually pretty smart. They shouldn't be transferring
- 20:03prisoners right now. If there's a chance they're positive, they
- 20:06should be in some sort of quarantine. Pretty common sense
- 20:13method if you ask me. But we're speaking of the
- 20:16bureaucracy here, of folks. Common sense is the last thing
- 20:20they exhibit. The last month, the agency named Eric Williams
- 20:25as the interim warden at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, the
- 20:29jail where Epstein died, after he served in at least
- 20:32five federal executions at the end of the Trump administration. Oh,
- 20:37he's a boogeyman. He served in executions. This is what
- 20:40I was talking about before. It's just garbage. Right at
- 20:42the end of the day. You can hate the process,
- 20:47the death penalty and all of that, and like I said,
- 20:50I am not too fond of it myself, but to
- 20:52try and pigeonhole. This guy for that, this new warden
- 20:56for that, I think is ridiculous, all rightsolutely ridiculous. Now,
- 21:01I'm sure this new warden, Eric Williams, is an absolute
- 21:04tool in plenty of other ways, but let's make sure
- 21:08that our criticism is laser guided. The prior warden, Marty
- 21:18Lacone Vital, abruptly stepped down after a year long tenure
- 21:22marred by the rampant spread of the coronavirus, inmates, complaints
- 21:26about squalid conditions, a gun smuggled into the jail, and
- 21:30at least one inmate's death. Now, all of that stuff
- 21:34is certainly ground for a vattal to step down or
- 21:39be fired. She was obviously not able to conduct the
- 21:41job the correct way, so you have to go. My
- 21:46problem is that, mister, and I certainly isn't the replacement
- 21:50that anybody's been clamoring for. It's like everybody trying to
- 21:56get you know, Nick Saban as the coach and then
- 22:01accepting the candy vendor. It's the same thing. There's no
- 22:07reason for it. This man should not have this job.
- 22:11This man should be suspended pending investigation. And when the
- 22:16investigation comes back and it shows that his employees were
- 22:23lacks in their judgment to be conservative about it and
- 22:29negligent in their duties. Well he should be penalized as well,
- 22:33because at the end of the day, when are any
- 22:36of these people who are making hundreds of thousands of
- 22:39dollars in their positions ever going to take responsibility? Oh?
- 22:43They all want to take the credit, don't they, But
- 22:46none of them can take the criticism. If you'd like

- 23:10the podcast, thank you very much. All of the links
- 23:15that go with this episode can be found in the
- 23:17description box. All right, everybody, what's up everyone, and welcome
- 23:22back to the Epstein Chronicles. Today we're going to talk
- 23:26about the warden who was responsible for keeping Jeffrey Epstein
- 23:31safe while he was locked up, and how that man
- 23:34who felt at that job was simply shuffled around and
- 23:38moved to a different facility when this was all going on.
- 23:43We were talking about how there is no accountability and
- 23:46still to this day, years later, there is still no accountability.
- 23:52This guy now is going to quietly retire amid this
- 23:56federal probe. Considering he would in charge of the facility
- 24:02where Jeffrey Epstein was killed and nobody was ever held
- 24:05to account I would think that this man would have
- 24:08been fired right away, but of course not move to
- 24:12a different facility. You know, it's all good. Doesn't matter
- 24:17that you're bad at your job. There's no accountability if
- 24:20you work for the Department of Justice or if you
- 24:22work for the Bureau of Prisons. Accountability is only for us,
- 24:26the people that they lord over. Have you folks had
- 24:31an eye full yet, because I know I have, and
- 24:34I've certainly had a belly full. People like this have
- 24:40no business holding the position that they hold. Imagine it
- 24:44was your relative in the facility that this guy is maintaining.
- 24:50Go to bed every night not knowing if your cousin
- 24:53who's in prison for fraud or whatever, is going to
- 24:57be murdered on this guy's watch because he doesn't know
- 24:59what he's doing, or he just doesn't care, because there's
- 25:04no other explanation for it. And then the Bureau of Prisons,
- 25:09how dare they this person should have been fired the
- 25:14day Jeffrey Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell. But no,
- 25:19the Union has to get involved, everyone has to get involved,
- 25:23and this guy just gets shuffled along in the deck.
- 25:26Move him to a different facility. Who cares. It's like
- 25:32when the priests were molesting kids, and then the church
- 25:35would just move these priests to different places so they
- 25:38could keep on doing what they were doing, never any
- 25:43accountability today. Our article is from the Associated Press. The
- 25:50authors are Michael Balsamo and Michael R. Sizzick. The headline
- 25:57warden at Epstein Jail quietly retired amid federal probe. I mean,
- 26:02how about you just fire him, then you go on
- 26:06with your probe. But to drag it out this long
- 26:10and have him still employed when the Department of Correction
- 26:15said something completely different to start it all off, it
- 26:18shouldn't shock anybody. The warden who ran the federal jail
- 26:24were disgraced. Financier pedophile Jeffrey Epstein killed himself was allowed
- 26:29to quietly retire from the Bureau of Prisons in February.
- 26:33His retirement came in the midst of an investigation examining
- 26:37how one of the government's highest profile inmates could take
- 26:40his own life in custody. Notice that they're still investigating
- 26:45how Jeffrey Epstein could take his own life in custody. Interesting.
- 26:49I thought that The New York Times told us recently
- 26:52that everything was settled. Remember that article, Remember my response
- 26:57to it. You see, I have no faith in the
- 27:01New York Times to really dig deep here. I have
- 27:04no faith in a Washington Post to dig deep here.
- 27:07I mean, come on, they're showing up looking to find
- 27:10out who's running the libs of TikTok stupid ass web page.
- 27:15You mean to tell me you're gonna show up at
- 27:16the person who runs that web page's house, But you're
- 27:19not gonna show up at Glenn Dubin's. You're not gonna
- 27:22show up at Sarah Kellen Vickers. Okay, sure, we all
- 27:25see what's going on here. Give me a break. It's
- 27:29all about the clicks, right, and the legacy media has
- 27:32certainly forgotten who their real target should be, those in power.
- 27:38How can this travesty go so underreported? How is it
- 27:43that all of those coincidences leading up to Epstein's death
- 27:48just shoved under the rug and forgotten about by the
- 27:51legacy media. You see, when they have lives of omission,
- 27:55they're still lies, right, And it's an absolute joke that
- 28:01this man had this position for this long and that
- 28:04this investigation is still ongoing. Lemaine and Dyah retired from
- 28:12the Bureau of Prisons on February twenty sixth. Agency spokesperson
- 28:16Christie Brishers told the Associated Press on Tuesday he was
- 28:21most recently the warden at FCI Fort Dix, a low
- 28:25security prison in Burlington County, New Jersey. So he was
- 28:29basically rewarded. He left the shithole that he was working
- 28:32where Epstein was able to kill himself, and he was
- 28:35able to go and run this low security prison in Burlington.
- 28:40Must be nice to be rewarded for being shitty at
- 28:43your job. He had been put in that position despite
- 28:48the ongoing federal probe and in direct contradiction of a
- 28:52public pronouncement from the Bureau of Prisons that it would
- 28:55delay and dies transfer to run any prison until the
- 28:59inquiry by the Justice Departments Inspector General was finished. Must
- 29:04be nice, huh, come out say one thing, do a
- 29:07different thing using public funds. I'm glad that all of
- 29:11those tax dollars and that fat fucking check I wrote
- 29:13the other day, is going to good use. I mean,
- 29:16between this and dropping bombs on civilians and places like Yemen,
- 29:20what could possibly go wrong? FCI four Dix, located on
- 29:27the grounds of the Joint Military Base Maguire Dix Lakenhurst,
- 29:32is the largest single federal prison by population, with just
- 29:36under three thousand inmates. An adjacent prison camp has thirty
- 29:40one minimum security inmates. So yeah, let's put this guy
- 29:44at the most sprawling complex we have. Let's let him
- 29:48lord over some more inmates, other people's relatives, mind you,
- 29:52Let's forget that people are in prison for a minute. Okay,
- 29:55when you go to prison, there should be a certain
- 29:57level of safety where you at the basic level of
- 30:01safety at least, But whenever this guy's facilitating a prison
- 30:05that's not even guaranteed. So how is this guy still
- 30:12running around collecting a pension and all of it. When
- 30:15we saw the shit show that went on at MCC
- 30:19protocol wasn't followed, Nobody followed the right rules. When he
- 30:25was found in the cell was supposed to be treated
- 30:27as a crime scene. No body camera footage was rolling.
- 30:30I mean, come on, and you just move this guy
- 30:32over and shuffle him over in the deck under in
- 30:37Die's watch as Warden, an inmate at Fort Dix, was
- 30:40stabbed in the eyeball by a fellow prisoner, exemplifying the gruesome,
- 30:44chronic violence that plagues the Bureau of Prisons and quickly
- 30:48added to calls from Congressional lawmakers for the Bureau of
- 30:52Prisons Director Michael Carvelhall to resign from his position. What
- 30:56does it matter the next person that you inte all
- 31:00into this position, it's going to be the same old shit.
- 31:02You know why, because policy has to change with the lawmakers.
- 31:06You see, the lawmakers love to blame the middle managers,
- 31:09but in reality, it's the lawmakers that are writing these laws. Right.
- 31:14So here's an idea, write better laws, right, laws that
- 31:17hold people accountable instead of just shuffling the deck whenever
- 31:21one of these morons screws up. Carvel Hall announced in
- 31:28January he was resigning, but has remained in place while
- 31:31the Justice Department searches for a replacement. And you see, folks,
- 31:35why I keep saying that the Justice Department is a
- 31:37dumpster fire, an absolute freaking dumpster fire. There's no direction.
- 31:43It's like a rudderless ship, right, No captain. Nobody's steering
- 31:47it correctly. So who's gonna be shocked when it runs
- 31:51up on the rocks crashes into the reef? Certainly not me.
- 31:58A handful of inmates, some of whom were believed to
- 32:01be friends and associates of the suspected attacker, have been
- 32:04held in segregated housing units for more than four months,
- 32:08and some were threatened with transfers if they didn't cooperate
- 32:12with the investigation into the stabbing. Well, that's pretty typical, honestly.
- 32:16I mean the screws prison guards. They'll definitely do that
- 32:21kind of thing to the inmates. If you're not getting
- 32:24in line. Yeah, they're gonna threaten you with transfer, you'll
- 32:26be put in the whole the whole thing. There's no
- 32:28humanity in prison, absolutely none. That's why, for the life
- 32:34of me, I don't understand these people that are out
- 32:36here committing crimes on a regular basis, like prison is
- 32:39someplace great to go. The people could not discuss the
- 32:50matter publicly, though, and spoke to AP on a condition
- 32:53of anonymity. Yeah. The last thing you want to do
- 32:56is speak out a turn if you're a federal employee, right, No,
- 32:59Safearboro anywhere in the federal government if you're a whistleblower
- 33:04and die. Was previously the warden at the Metropolitan Correctional Center,
- 33:08the now closed federal lockup in Manhattan. He was removed
- 33:11from that position after Epstein killed himself allegedly in the
- 33:15jail in twenty nineteen while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. So,
- 33:22when Epstein was found dead in his cell and all
- 33:28of the other things happened in the aftermath, what we
- 33:32found out. The camera's not working, he's in a cell
- 33:35with TARTAGLIONI, you know, the whole thing. I said to myself, Then,
- 33:41how is it that there is no accountability at the top?
- 33:46Any job I've ever worked at, the accountability goes right
- 33:50up to the top. If you're a manager of a
- 33:53department and something goes wrong, the buck stops with you.
- 33:56Doesn't even matter if you're on duty at the time.
- 33:59I was on vacation, And I've had my boss call
- 34:02me before when I was running a department talking about
- 34:04one of my employees miss this or miss that. I'm like, bro,
- 34:07I'm four thousand miles away, what do you want me
- 34:09to do right now? But the buck stops with you.
- 34:13If you're in charge and you're the boss, you have
- 34:16to understand that you're not just going there collecting your paycheck,
- 34:19telling people what to do, and then skipping your way
- 34:22home with no responsibility the whole entire facility, from the
- 34:27janitors to the guards. It's your responsibility if you're in charge.
- 34:32But there's never any accountability in the federal government, is there. Oh,
- 34:36there'll be a robust investigation. Oh we'll have an outside
- 34:38investigator look at this, but nothing ever comes of it.
- 34:43This guy should have never ever been appointed to a
- 34:46different position. He should have been fired and moving on
- 34:51with his life doing whatever it is that he's going
- 34:53to do. Prosecutors say the guards who were supposed to
- 35:02be monitoring Epstein were instead sleeping and browsing the Internet.
- 35:06The Bureau of Prisons closed the jail in October for
- 35:09much needed repairs after years of decay, though it may
- 35:12never reopen, and it shouldn't. The place is a shithole.
- 35:15Come on, new facility, start from scratch. No need to
- 35:21put people back in that shithole. The Bureau of Prisons
- 35:25named and Die as warden at Fort Dix in February
- 35:28twenty twenty one, despite an ongoing federal investigation into lapses
- 35:32that led to Epstein's death, and in contradiction of its
- 35:36pronouncement that the agency would delay any move until the
- 35:41inquiry was finished. So basically, they just lie to you.
- 35:45No big deal. They have no account accountability, accountability anyway, right,
- 35:50they can lie to whoever they want. So they'll say, yeah,
- 35:53this guy's not gonna have another gig anytime soon. Don't worry, folks,
- 35:56everything's under control here, when the reality is they're moving
- 36:00this guy right over to this other facility during this
- 36:03whole entire investigation that we still have no answers to.
- 36:08And then they'll look you straight in the eye and say, ah,
- 36:10everything's all good. You're overreacting. Don't be a conspiracy theorist.
- 36:18The Bureau attempted to place and die in the Fort
- 36:20Dick's job a year earlier, but the move was stopped
- 36:23by then Attorney General William Barr after the AP reported
- 36:27the transfer. The Justice Department's Inspector General has yet to
- 36:31complete the investigation. A spokesperson for Inspector General Michael Horowitz
- 36:36said Tuesday that the probe was still ongoing, and they
- 36:41love to have that happen right, Because now if anyone
- 36:43asks for a Freedom of Information Act request, they could
- 36:46just say, oh, we have an ongoing investigation, we cannot
- 36:49release that information to you. So my guess is we'll
- 36:52have an ongoing investigation for the rest of our lives here,
- 36:55and we'll never get any sort of transparency when it
- 36:58comes to that what happened in that cell or anything else. Now,
- 37:03there'll be a segment of the population that'll believe what
- 37:06Bill Barr had to say. You know, Oh, well, Bill
- 37:08Barr says he saw the video, So that's that all right.
- 37:11I mean, if you want to believe him, Hey, that's fine.
- 37:14I'm not here to convince anybody as shit. For me,
- 37:17I'm gonna need more than that. I don't trust Bill Barr.
- 37:19I look at his track record, certainly not a trustworthy individual.
- 37:23So if you get up there and you tell me, oh,
- 37:26believe me, believe this, believe that, and you don't have
- 37:29a track record of telling me believable things, why should
- 37:32I believe you. So that's where I'm at with Bill
- 37:36Barr and this whole entire shit show he got going
- 37:38on here. I am more than willing to accept that
- 37:41dude killed himself in fact, I'm on the record saying
- 37:44he probably did, but not at his own not with
- 37:48his own wishes, right, I really believe that to find
- 37:53out what happened truly in this story, we have to
- 37:56start with the first alleged suicide attempt, end with Nicholas Tartaglioni.
- 38:03Unless we can unravel that mystery, we're never going to
- 38:05figure out what happened in the cell the day that
- 38:07Epstein died. So we'll keep digging, and we'll keep our
- 38:11eyes open and ears open and continue to, you know,
- 38:15filter through this information. But one thing is for sure,
- 38:19this dude, this warden, should have never ever been put
- 38:23into another position of power. All right, folks, that is
- 38:28going to do it. If you'd like to contact me,
- 38:31you can do that at Bobby Capucci at ProtonMail dot com.
- 38:34That's bo Bby cap you Cci at ProtonMail dot com.
- 38:40You can also find me on Twitter at Bobby Underscore
- 38:45cap u Cci. The links that we discussed can be
- 38:49found in the description box. What's up, everyone, and welcome
- 38:54back to the Epstein Chronicles. Ever since the Inspector General
- 38:59dropped his report, we've seen a lot of legacy media
- 39:04outlets pick up on that and act as if all
- 39:07is said and done when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein
- 39:10and the circumstances surrounding his death. But for me, going
- 39:15through the Inspector General Report like we're doing chapter by chapter,
- 39:20there's already been some glaring inconsistencies, such as with Nicholas
- 39:26Tartaglioni inmate number one, when they're talking about how they
- 39:30couldn't confirm or deny if Tartaglioni assaulted Epstein or not,
- 39:35and it says it right there in their report. And remember,
- 39:39Jeffrey Epstein said that Nicholas Tartaglioni assaulted him at first,
- 39:43that was what he first said when all of this
- 39:46was happening, And then of course the story changed and
- 39:49Nicholas Tartaglioni became the hero all of a sudden who
- 39:52tried to save Jeffrey Epstein's life. But that was one
- 39:56of the most glaring inconsistencies in the early chapters of
- 40:00the OIG report. And basically all this OIG report was,
- 40:04or is, in my opinion, is glossing over what we
- 40:07already knew and when all was said and done, with
- 40:10all of these systemic errors, how many people were brought
- 40:14up on charges besides the two guards who never even
- 40:17ended up getting really punished for what they did. But
- 40:20how many other people were brought up on charges? How
- 40:22many people lost their job or their pension? Oh, that's right,
- 40:26none of them. So you say that they're systemic errors,
- 40:30but none of that stuff has even been addressed on
- 40:33a large scale level. And looking at this report, how
- 40:36the hell did it take them four years to come
- 40:38up with this? I mean, really four years to come
- 40:40up with this report and a lot of stuff wasn't
- 40:43even addressed. How about the fact that four Chan reported
- 40:46Jeffrey Epstein's death thirty eight minutes before it was reported
- 40:50by the legacy media. Not even a mention of that
- 40:54in this OIG report. So, if the OIG was missing
- 40:57basic stuff, basic facts such as that, what else did
- 41:01the OIG miss, either on purpose or just because the
- 41:05OIG's office in general is inept. Today's article is from
- 41:10the World's Socialist website headline Justice Department report fails to
- 41:15substantiate the suicide narrative of Jeffrey Epstein's death in federal custody.
- 41:21This article was authored by Kevin Reid, the US Department
- 41:26of Justice Office of the Inspector General released on Tuesday
- 41:30a long awaited report summarizing its investigation into the August tenth,
- 41:35twenty nineteen, death of billionaire financier and convicted sex offender
- 41:40Jeffrey Epstein while he was in the custody of the
- 41:43Federal Bureau of Prisons in New York City. The main
- 41:47purpose of the OIG report is to uncritically bolster the
- 41:51findings of the Chief New York Medical Examiner, doctor Barbara Sampson,
- 41:56the day after Epstein was found dead at six thirty
- 41:59am on responsive in his cell at the Manhattan Correctional Center,
- 42:03pronounced dead at seven thirty six am at New York
- 42:06Presbyterian Lower Manhattan Hospital. And that's exactly what this is.
- 42:11Just a little more lipstick on the pig. Oh, let's
- 42:14put out this report and we won't even touch on
- 42:17some of the most important topics, and then we'll tell
- 42:19everybody that the case is closed and there was nothing
- 42:23to see here. And instead of critically looking at the
- 42:26information provided by the OIG, the legacy media was just
- 42:30all too happy to pick up this ball and run
- 42:32with it like usual. The executive summary of the OIG
- 42:36states on August eleventh, twenty nineteen, the Office of the
- 42:40Chief Medical Examiner performed an autopsy and determined the cause
- 42:44of death was hanging and the cause of death was suicide. Furthermore,
- 42:49the OIG report fails to address any substantial manner the
- 42:53widespread public belief that Jeffrey Epstein was murdered to prevent
- 42:57him from exposing others within the final ail, political and
- 43:01celebrity elite who are participants in and or facilitators of
- 43:06his sex trafficking operation. So when are we going to
- 43:09get an OIG report into who was helping Jeffrey Epstein?
- 43:13As far as the government goes, were going to look
- 43:15into that ever or No. It's amazing to me how
- 43:19the Inspector General report and the government itself can exonerate
- 43:23itself and people just accept it. The report states. The
- 43:28medical examiner who performed the autopsy told the OIG that
- 43:32Epstein's injuries were consistent with suicide by hanging and that
- 43:36there was no evidence of defensive wounds that would be
- 43:39expected if his death had been a homicide. It's funny
- 43:43they say that about the defensive wounds if it was
- 43:46a homicide, but they don't even talk about the highway bone.
- 43:50They don't talk about doctor Michael Bowden or what he
- 43:52had to say about the autopsy. None of that stuff
- 43:56is touched on in the OIG report. All it is
- 43:59is the narrative that the government wants to put out
- 44:03And look, that's why we're reading it without my commentary
- 44:07here on the podcast, chapter by chapter, so everybody hears
- 44:11the narrative or sees the narrative that the government is
- 44:14putting out there. That way, you can decide for yourself
- 44:17if they're telling you the truth or if they're bullshitting you.
- 44:20You don't need the legacy media to tell you that.
- 44:22You don't need me to tell you that you know
- 44:24when you're being lied to. The OIG does not address itself,
- 44:29for example, to the independent autopsy conducted on behalf of
- 44:33Epstein's family by forensic pathologist doctor Michael Boden, who determined
- 44:38in October of twenty nineteen, that the injuries suffered by Epstein,
- 44:42such as a fractured hyoid bone, points to homicide rather
- 44:46than suicide. So that's a pretty hefty claim, and it's
- 44:50coming from a guy who has the credentials to make
- 44:53that kind of call. This is the man who has
- 44:56sat through thousands of autopsies. You would think he knows
- 44:59what he's talking about. Right. Instead, the OIG report moves
- 45:03quickly onto an analysis of the job performance and management
- 45:07failures on the part of BOP personnel and widespread disregard
- 45:12of BOP policies that are designed to ensure the inmates
- 45:16are safe, secure, and in good health that it presents
- 45:20as the reasons Epstein was able to take his own life.
- 45:23See I don't buy it. What about all the other
- 45:26people that are truly suicidal that we're in MCC that
- 45:30were never able to kill themselves. Let's not act like
- 45:32people were killing themselves every week at MCC. This was
- 45:37a very rare occurrence. And for it to coincidentally be
- 45:40somebody who is connected to the government the way Epstein was,
- 45:44you don't think people are going to have questions. And
- 45:47then you add all the other stuff to it, video
- 45:49camera's not working, video being lost, and then no answer
- 45:53for that just basically, oh, the video systems weren't working
- 45:57because of a third party contractor. As if that's a
- 45:59good enough answer for anybody. Here's an idea. Who was
- 46:03in charge of putting that video system in that person
- 46:06should have been held accountable. There's no accountability here though.
- 46:10All this is is another way to massage you and
- 46:14make you think that everything is aokay when it comes
- 46:17to Epstein. I'm here to tell you it's not. Among
- 46:20the failures acknowledged by the OIG was that Epstein was
- 46:25left in his jail cell alone with a surplus of
- 46:27bed linens on the night of his death. Nearly every
- 46:30surveillance camera on his unit did not record what was
- 46:34happening outside the cell, and despite a purported suicide attempt
- 46:38two weeks earlier, Epstein was not checked on regularly as
- 46:42required by BOP procedures. Now people are like, nobody went
- 46:47in that room and killed them, Well, what if the
- 46:49environment was set up for him to kill himself? And
- 46:53what if Nicholas Tartaglioni was the one who passed on
- 46:56that message. And I guess that message was received by Epstein,
- 47:00know considering what happened in that jail cell. But if
- 47:03anyone truly believes that Nicholas Tartaglioni is some kind of
- 47:07superhero here and he was trying to save Epstein's life
- 47:10in that jail cell during the first attempt, they are
- 47:13sorely mistaken. This is a man who was convicted of
- 47:17a quadruple homicide. Do you really think he cares if
- 47:20Jeffrey Epstein lives or dies? And furthermore, what was he
- 47:24doing in the cell with Epstein in the first place.
- 47:26We're talking about a problem prisoner here. Tartaglioni was found
- 47:30with contraband in his cell previously, just a few weeks
- 47:33prior to this, and that contraband was a cell phone.
- 47:36Who was he talking to why was he talking to them?
- 47:39And what was he doing in a jail cell with
- 47:41Jeffrey Epstein? Until somebody answers that shit, please miss me
- 47:45with all the rest of it. As stated in the
- 47:48OIG Executive Summary, the combination of negligence, misconduct, and outright
- 47:52job performance failures documented in this report all contributed to
- 47:57an environment in which one of the BOP's most notorious
- 48:00inmates was provided with the opportunity to take his own life,
- 48:05resulting in numerous questions being asked about the circumstances of
- 48:09his death, how it could have been allowed to happen,
- 48:12and the most importantly, depriving his numerous victims, many of
- 48:16whom were underage girls at the time of the crimes,
- 48:20of their ability to seek justice through the criminal justice system.
- 48:24And even in the OIG report, this idiot says alleged crimes. No,
- 48:28not alleged, they all happened. Okay, any time that his
- 48:32estate has paid out one of these settlements, that's them
- 48:35admitting that this happened. So stop with the alleged. The
- 48:39OIG's reference to Epstein's victims is for public relations purposes only,
- 48:44since the report provides no new information about the criminal
- 48:48enterprise that the billionaire was running with the tacit support
- 48:52of both his wealthy friends and federal law enforcement officials
- 48:56for at least fifteen years. The report does not bother
- 49:00to mention, for example, that it was the DOJ, specifically
- 49:04US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Alexander Acosta,
- 49:08that intervened in two thousand and eight to arrange a
- 49:11non prosecution agreement with Epstein that effectively blocked a probe
- 49:16into his sex crimes involving at least three dozen victims.
- 49:20The Acosta myth once again, huh, as if alex Acosta
- 49:23was that powerful mister middle manager made the decision on
- 49:28his own to give Jeffrey Epstein a sweetheart deal. That's
- 49:31what you want me to believe. So if you don't
- 49:34know anything about how the federal government works, maybe you
- 49:37believe that. If you don't know how the DOJ works,
- 49:40maybe you believe that. Me. However, I do not believe that,
- 49:44not for a minute, alex Acosta did not make that decision.
- 49:49That decision was made way above his head. You want
- 49:52to look at somebody making those decisions. You want to
- 49:55look at somebody who was in charge at the time
- 49:58looked no further than mister Mukat. In any event, the
- 50:02one hundred and twenty eight page OIG report offers a
- 50:05series of recommendations to the BOP to address the numerous
- 50:09issues identified during our investigation and review. Among these are
- 50:14calls for BOP to address staffing shortages, to adequately train
- 50:19the staff on sell inspections, to ensure security cameras are
- 50:23functioning properly, and above all, develop procedures for protecting inmates
- 50:28who are on suicide watch. Now, remember, folks, the Bureau
- 50:31of Prisons has the largest budget out of all of
- 50:34our federal bureaus besides the military. So how is it
- 50:38that the cameras aren't working. How is it that people
- 50:41aren't trained correctly? And if it is a problem that
- 50:45is systemic, then how come everybody isn't fired, and how
- 50:49come we're not starting over. It must be stated that
- 50:52even if Jeffrey Epstein did commit suicide, and this has
- 50:55by no means been proven conclusively by the Department of Justice,
- 50:59the facts presented in the OIG report demonstrate that the
- 51:04BOP staff at MCC and by extension, the US government,
- 51:08facilitated it. That's what I've said from the beginning. They
- 51:12set the scene right, they put the whole scenario in motion.
- 51:16Then you throw Tartaglioni in that room with them. Who
- 51:18the hell knows what Tartaglioni said to Epstein, what sort
- 51:22of threats were made? We have no idea. And the
- 51:25lock up, well, they did an investigation, but it was inconclusive.
- 51:29All they had to go on was the word of
- 51:31Tartaglioni and the word of Epstein. So he said, she said.
- 51:35It has been established during numerous lawsuits brought against the
- 51:38deceased billionaire's estate Pedophile that Jeffrey Epstein had many relationships
- 51:43with individuals within the ruling establishment in the US and
- 51:47around the world who were well aware of his criminal
- 51:50sex trafficking of underage girls and in some cases participated
- 51:55in it. Among the significant individuals with known connections to
- 51:59Jeffrey Epstein are Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Prince Andrew Saudi,
- 52:03Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salmon, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates. Huh.
- 52:08No mention of George Mitchell, No mention of Bill Richardson,
- 52:12No mention of Stacy Plaskett. I mean, let's get down
- 52:15to it, right, Let's expose everybody that was chilling with
- 52:18this dude, that was benefiting from his power, from his
- 52:21largess and let's hold them all to account, not just
- 52:25a few people whose names are brought up every time
- 52:28this story he's talked about. These revelations came to a
- 52:31head recently in a class action lawsuit brought by Epstein's
- 52:35survivors against JP Morgan Chase, the largest bank in the
- 52:38US which had continued to do business with the billionaire
- 52:42pedophile long after the depray of criminal activities became public knowledge.
- 52:47In the end, to prevent further revelations about the bank's
- 52:50collaboration with and financial support for the sex trafficker, Epstein
- 52:56and to avoid admitting any wrongdoing whatsoever. JP Moore again
- 53:00settled out of court with the group of survivors for
- 53:03are reported two hundred and ninety million dollars. Must be
- 53:07nice to buy your way out of all the bullshit
- 53:09you get up to. For the rest of us, we're
- 53:12looking at long jail sentences, folks, not for the Jests
- 53:16dailies of the world, not for the Jeffrey Epstein's of
- 53:20the world. The wealthy and well connected. Jeffrey Epstein was
- 53:23arrested on July six, twenty nineteen, by federal and New
- 53:27York City police at Teeterborough Airport in New Jersey on
- 53:31numerous sex trafficking charges. He pleaded not guilty on July eighth,
- 53:36and after his request for pre trial release, including an
- 53:39offer to pay back one hundred million dollars in bond,
- 53:43was denied on the grounds that he posed a danger
- 53:45to the public and was a serious flight risk. Epstein
- 53:49was jailed at MCC while awaiting his trial, exactly where
- 53:53he should have been behind bars. And furthermore, they should
- 53:57have pert walked his ass from the airport and we
- 54:00should have had video of it. The events of July
- 54:03twenty third, twenty nineteen, when Epstein was found injured and
- 54:07semi conscious at one thirty am on the floor of
- 54:09his cell and with marks on his neck, is critical
- 54:12to the narrative that the billionaire killed himself. His cellmate,
- 54:16referred to in the OIG report as inmate one, was
- 54:20a former New York City police officer, Nicholas Tartaglioni, who
- 54:24was awaiting trial on four counts of murder. Tartaglioni has
- 54:28maintained that he had no knowledge of what happened to
- 54:31Epstein that night, and he was officially cleared of any
- 54:34wrongdoing by the BOP within days of the event. And
- 54:38it was just such garbage then, and it's such garbage now.
- 54:42I'm not somebody that dives off the deep end when
- 54:44it comes to all the crazy conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein,
- 54:48but when it comes to what happened in that cell
- 54:50the first time around, there's nobody on this planet that's
- 54:53going to convince me that Tartaglioni didn't assault him. However,
- 54:58the OIG report says billionaire Pedophile stated multiple times that
- 55:03he believes someone had tried to kill him that morning,
- 55:05and the last thing he remembered was going for a
- 55:07drink of water at one am before he woke up
- 55:10on the floor. Epstein said he cannot remember exactly what
- 55:14happened on July twenty third. So for me, this is
- 55:18the message. TARTAGLIONI chokes them almost unconscious, says to him, Look,
- 55:23either you do it or we do it. Those are
- 55:26your choices. And then, of course the whole entire scenario
- 55:29was set up perfectly. The table was set for Epstein
- 55:33to do this by the guards not doing their jobs
- 55:36for whatever reason. The OIG says, it's negligence. But if
- 55:40it really was negligence, why weren't the guards prosecuted, Why
- 55:43were they given deferred sentences? Why were they just let
- 55:46off with a slap on the wrist. And furthermore, how
- 55:49much money do they have in their bank accounts? Did
- 55:51they get any deposits? We don't know about. Look, I'm
- 55:54just asking questions. Meanwhile, there is a glaring contradiction in
- 55:57the report that is not addressed in the OIG executive
- 56:01summary or the conclusion. This has to do with the
- 56:04extensive details about Epstein's mental health condition. In chapter four
- 56:08of the report, entitled custody and care of Epstein prior
- 56:12to his death. From the day he arrived at MCC,
- 56:16Epstein was screened and evaluated repeatedly by medical and psychological professionals.
- 56:22The report says numerous times that Epstein denied having a
- 56:26history of mental health treatment and any history of mental
- 56:29health symptoms, and denied passive or active suicidal ideation. So,
- 56:35in other words, not suicidal. Okay, that's what that means.
- 56:40As standard procedure, Epstein was initially placed on psychological evaluation status,
- 56:46and he was given a psychological care rating of level one,
- 56:50which means that they have no needs and will not
- 56:52be followed up with unless requested by staff or the inmates.
- 56:57On July eleventh, the report notes that Epstein's attorney, who
- 57:01he met with on nearly a daily basis while at MCC,
- 57:05were laughing at the fact that the chief psychologist was
- 57:08inquiring as to whether Epstein was suicidal and dismissing the
- 57:12possibility that Epstein could be suicidal. That's because he wasn't. Okay,
- 57:17how much more clear do I need to be? After
- 57:20the incident, on July twenty third, Epstein was placed on
- 57:24suicide watch. However, he was removed from suicide watch a
- 57:28day later, and then after he was seen daily by
- 57:31the chief psychologist daily between July twenty fifth and July
- 57:36twenty ninth. He was removed from psychological observation altogether on
- 57:41July thirtieth, following an invaluation in which Epstein identified reasons
- 57:46to live and was future oriented. I mean, do people
- 57:50really think that Epstein was just gonna go down and
- 57:53go down quietly, not taking anyone with him. You really
- 57:56think that this guy was sitting around thinking about suicide.
- 58:00Have a real hard time believe in that. All of
- 58:03this is consistent with information on Epstein's clear mental status
- 58:07days before his death, derived from documents in the JP
- 58:11Morgan Chase lawsuit obtained by the Associated Press in early June.
- 58:16It is also consistent with the statements of Epstein's lawyers
- 58:20shortly after his death, who said that he was looking
- 58:22forward to pursuing his legal defense and showed no indications
- 58:27of suicidal tendencies. Responding to the conclusions in the OIG report,
- 58:32which took four years for the US Justice Department to produce,
- 58:35Mark Epstein, brother of the deceased billionaire pedophile, told Insider
- 58:40on Tuesday it doesn't make sense. Mark Epstein said the
- 58:44marks on his brother's neck were inconsistent with suicidal hanging.
- 58:48If he was hanging from the way they said, that
- 58:51doesn't match up to where the broken bones are in
- 58:53his neck. He added, what most likely happened is that
- 58:57those marks are probably because he got either punched or
- 59:01karate chop into the neck by whoever killed him, because
- 59:05that's a technique that they use to incapacitate people that
- 59:09they're going to eliminate. That makes much more sense. Well,
- 59:12I don't know about a karate chop or any of that,
- 59:15but I think that the whole entire environment was set
- 59:18up for this event to occur. The corporate media has
- 59:22dutifully picked up the conclusions of the OIG report and
- 59:26repeated them without a word of criticism. The New York Times,
- 59:30for example, begins its report by saying, Jeffrey Epstein died
- 59:34by suicide, not foul play, after a cascade of negligence
- 59:38and mismanagement at the now shuttered federal jail in Manhattan
- 59:43where he was housed, according to the Justice Departments Inspector General. Imagine.
- 59:49That's what the New York Times had to say, not
- 59:51more curious about Tartaglione, not trying to get an interview
- 59:54with him, none of that. I wonder why you would
- 59:57think that would be pretty important right when you're building
- 1:00:00case or doing your investigation. But here we are. So
- 1:00:03we're going to continue going through that OIG report and
- 1:00:06getting the official narrative added to the catalog. But as
- 1:00:10we're doing that, we're going to be adding articles that
- 1:00:13challenge that OIG report as well, because there are a
- 1:00:17lot of deficiencies within that report and a lot of
- 1:00:20levers that still haven't been pulled. All right, folks, that's
- 1:00:24going to do it for this one. All of the
- 1:00:25information that goes with the episode can be found in
- 1:00:29the description box.
