Latest / The Vault: The Epstein Files / James Comer Rips Leon Black Over Epstein Stonewalling (7/27/26)
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
- 0:03Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. Leon Black has not been honest about his
- 0:09Speaker 1: relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. That's what every single headline about
- 0:13Speaker 1: Leon Black should say. Instead, this dude completely ignored Congress
- 0:18Speaker 1: and only turn over the one NDA. Now, why would
- 0:22Speaker 1: he feel comfortable doing that. I'm sure it has nothing
- 0:26Speaker 1: to do with the fact that there is no teeth
- 0:28Speaker 1: when it comes to the law, right. I'm sure he's
- 0:32Speaker 1: just terrified that James Comer is going to do something
- 0:35Speaker 1: about his bullshit. I mean, let's get serious. If James
- 0:41Speaker 1: Comer really cared about what happened, if James Comer really
- 0:45Speaker 1: wanted justice, then none of these interviews would have been
- 0:47Speaker 1: voluntary subpoena everybody, make everybody come in and tell the
- 0:51Speaker 1: truth under oath and let's have a real look at
- 0:54Speaker 1: what happened. But that was never the goal. And I'm
- 0:58Speaker 1: sure you're all tired of hearing that by now, but
- 1:00Speaker 1: it's the truth, and it bears repeating time and time again,
- 1:05Speaker 1: because this whole entire thing has been a gigantic jack off.
- 1:08Speaker 1: That's all it's been, and that's because James Comer has
- 1:11Speaker 1: let it become this way, instead of being a man,
- 1:16Speaker 1: instead of standing up tall before the wagon and demanding
- 1:19Speaker 1: everybody comes in and speaks under oath, he let them
- 1:23Speaker 1: get away with some bullshit. And now people are wondering
- 1:28Speaker 1: why a guy like Leon Black feels like he can
- 1:31Speaker 1: dog walk the process, like he can just do whatever
- 1:35Speaker 1: he wants whenever he wants to do it. Well, that's
- 1:38Speaker 1: because idiots like James Comer haven't held anybody accountable. I mean,
- 1:43Speaker 1: we've had multiple people get up there and tell us lies,
- 1:46Speaker 1: verifiable lies, and what is the committee done? Nothing? Absolutely nothing.
- 1:52Speaker 1: Today we have an article from Raw Story and the
- 1:55Speaker 1: headline Comer blast Epstein associates, stonewalling on demands. This is unacceptable.
- 2:02Speaker 1: This article was authored by Nicole charki Chommy. House Oversight
- 2:09Speaker 1: Committee lawmakers were furious Friday after they received only one
- 2:12Speaker 1: non disclosure agreement involving Leon Black, a former associate of
- 2:16Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein, according to reports, And what did they expect
- 2:21Speaker 1: that he's going to show up bright eye and bushytailed
- 2:24Speaker 1: with a whole backpack full of documentation. He's going to
- 2:28Speaker 1: show up with an army of lawyers and he's going
- 2:30Speaker 1: to make the process absolutely painful, and that's because he
- 2:34Speaker 1: doesn't respect the Committee, and I suspect that he's probably
- 2:39Speaker 1: been told through some back channels via his son Ben,
- 2:42Speaker 1: that the administration has no desire to even look into
- 2:45Speaker 1: what he was up to. Now. I don't have any
- 2:48Speaker 1: concrete proof of that, but it seems like it would track.
- 2:53Speaker 1: You got a guy like Leon Black, who's as powerful
- 2:56Speaker 1: as he is, and his son is part of the
- 2:58Speaker 1: current administration that, for as far as I can see,
- 3:03Speaker 1: is running a cover up that doesn't exactly instill confidence
- 3:06Speaker 1: that we're going to get to the bottom of it
- 3:08Speaker 1: or that a guy like Leon Black is going to
- 3:10Speaker 1: be held accountable. The Committee had issued a subpoena for Black,
- 3:14Speaker 1: the Apollo Global Management founder, demanding all NDAs Black allegedly
- 3:18Speaker 1: has related to the late convicted sex offender and his
- 3:21Speaker 1: co conspirator, Glenn Maxwell. Political reported all these NDAs that
- 3:26Speaker 1: these dudes sign. Shit's hilarious to me. Here's an idea.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Don't be a scumbag. I know, very difficult, right, very
- 3:34Speaker 1: difficult just to be a decent human being. They think
- 3:38Speaker 1: that because they have a few bucks, that they can
- 3:41Speaker 1: do whatever they want. And your kids, my kids anyone's kids. Well,
- 3:47Speaker 1: they're just playthings, chattel to be moved around, to be
- 3:52Speaker 1: used as they see fit. And then we'll sign this NDA,
- 3:55Speaker 1: and I'll give you one hundred grand, which is nothing
- 3:58Speaker 1: to me. That way, you can never talk about how
- 4:02Speaker 1: I abused you, Like, in what world is that? Okay? Now, look,
- 4:06Speaker 1: there's legitimate reasons for NDAs, business purposes, you know, shit
- 4:11Speaker 1: like that. But when it comes to relationships, what the
- 4:14Speaker 1: fuck is going on? And I don't care if your
- 4:17Speaker 1: fame is I don't care about any of that. I
- 4:19Speaker 1: find it weird. Okay, that's it. That's all. That's my opinion.
- 4:22Speaker 1: I think it's weird. And if you need to be
- 4:24Speaker 1: in a contractual relationship, breaking news. Fuck face, you're gonna
- 4:28Speaker 1: pay for play relationship, You're not in a real relationship.
- 4:33Speaker 1: A spokesperson for chair James Comer did not mince words
- 4:37Speaker 1: and signaled what would come next. Oh boy, here we go,
- 4:41Speaker 1: James Comer talking tough again. Leon Black is an acting
- 4:45Speaker 1: in good faith, the spokesperson said. The committee agreed to
- 4:48Speaker 1: extend the deadline two full weeks for full production of
- 4:51Speaker 1: all NDAs, and his attorney has deliberately chosen to only
- 4:55Speaker 1: produce one. This is unacceptable, and the committee will follow
- 4:59Speaker 1: up with his attorney. Yeah, we're gonna give them a
- 5:02Speaker 1: stern talking to. If you're not careful, we're gonna send
- 5:05Speaker 1: you another letter. Like who do they think they're kidding?
- 5:10Speaker 1: Nobody's buying their bullshit anymore. Nobody's willing to believe the
- 5:15Speaker 1: bullshit that's coming out of this committee. Do your job,
- 5:19Speaker 1: hold people accountable and stop the games. Stop wasting tax
- 5:22Speaker 1: dollars on games. Black's attorney, Susan Estrich, confirmed she turned
- 5:28Speaker 1: over a single NDA one struck between Black and Gouzelle Ganieva,
- 5:33Speaker 1: a woman he was once romantically involved with. That relationship
- 5:37Speaker 1: ended with Black paying Ganijeva roughly nine and a half
- 5:40Speaker 1: million dollars. Ah, you know, nine and a half million dollars,
- 5:43Speaker 1: No big deal, nothing to see here, Leon Black didn't
- 5:46Speaker 1: do anything wrong, obviously. He just pays out nine and
- 5:48Speaker 1: a half million dollars all the time. Like what kind
- 5:52Speaker 1: of broken ass brain do you have to have to think?
- 5:54Speaker 1: That's how it goes down, especially with rich people. Have
- 5:57Speaker 1: you ever met a real rich person? These rotten bastards.
- 6:01Speaker 1: They won't give you a penny. And if you think
- 6:04Speaker 1: a guy like Leon Black, who's swimming around in his money,
- 6:07Speaker 1: like bucking Scrooge McDuck is handed out nine and a
- 6:10Speaker 1: half million dollar checks for fun. You got another thing coming,
- 6:12Speaker 1: my friend, Estrich says. Epstein, who died by suicide in
- 6:19Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, knew about the agreement. Kanieva later sued Black
- 6:23Speaker 1: over allegations a sexual misconduct and defamation, but a judge
- 6:27Speaker 1: throughout the case in twenty twenty three. And this is
- 6:31Speaker 1: the woman that Leon Black allegedly reached out to Jeffrey
- 6:34Speaker 1: Epstein to so that he could go and get her
- 6:39Speaker 1: pressed back in Russia through his contacts, make sure that
- 6:44Speaker 1: she wasn't connected in Russia, and then force her into
- 6:47Speaker 1: the agreement. But sure there was no law broken. Leon
- 6:51Speaker 1: Black's a hell of a guy. Have you seen the
- 6:53Speaker 1: kinds of donations that he made. The responsive information Include's
- 7:00Speaker 1: only confidentiality agreement that predebted Epstein's death, and the only
- 7:05Speaker 1: one of which Epstein was aware. Epstein was not involved
- 7:08Speaker 1: with drafting this agreement, Estridge said in a statement. This
- 7:11Speaker 1: confidentiality agreement with Guzell Ganieva resolved her attempts to extort
- 7:16Speaker 1: mister Black. Her attempts well, she obviously extorted him. If
- 7:20Speaker 1: she got the money, right, that's not an attempt, that's
- 7:22Speaker 1: a success. So do you really think that this woman
- 7:26Speaker 1: from Russia, who had no friends, no power, no money, nothing,
- 7:31Speaker 1: extorted Leon fucking Black. Sure, and I am the Pope.
- 7:37Speaker 1: Why don't you guys all head over to the Vatican
- 7:39Speaker 1: and tell them that little Rob sent you and that
- 7:42Speaker 1: you have VIP treatment. Oh and by the way, you
- 7:44Speaker 1: can all try on my hat. Guzel Ganieva extorted lyon Black.
- 7:49Speaker 1: The New York State Supreme Court dismissed miss Kanieva's baseless
- 7:52Speaker 1: lawsuit against mister Black with prejudice, and that decision was
- 7:56Speaker 1: affirmed by an appellate court. Estrich said, missus Kanieva expressly
- 8:01Speaker 1: acknowledged that she never met Epstein, So that doesn't mean
- 8:05Speaker 1: that Epstein wasn't involved. What he has to be in
- 8:08Speaker 1: the room. Or could it be that he reached out
- 8:11Speaker 1: to his connections, his buddy's over an FSB. That's kind
- 8:14Speaker 1: of a big deal. No reaching out to Russia to
- 8:18Speaker 1: have them press one of these women, I would say
- 8:21Speaker 1: that's a big deal. And also all the people out
- 8:25Speaker 1: here that have been idolizing Russia, people like Tucker Carlson
- 8:29Speaker 1: and the rest of them talk about a bunch of
- 8:31Speaker 1: propaganda paid scumbags. Nobody's gaslighted me into believe in that
- 8:38Speaker 1: Russia's America's ally. The fuck is wrong with you? You could
- 8:42Speaker 1: take that and multipolarity and shove it, But Congress was
- 8:49Speaker 1: not just after one relationship's favor trail. Comer has called
- 8:52Speaker 1: the material tied to Epstein and Maxwell as vital to
- 8:55Speaker 1: keeping the investigation moving, and issued the subpoena in the
- 8:59Speaker 1: first place only after Black refuse to answer questions about
- 9:02Speaker 1: the agreements directly. Should have been a subpoena from the
- 9:05Speaker 1: jump for all these people. None of these rab bastards
- 9:08Speaker 1: should have an easy road home. We need the NDAs
- 9:13Speaker 1: to be able to move forward with the investigation. Comer said,
- 9:17Speaker 1: you know a lot of big words from James Comer,
- 9:21Speaker 1: and what kind of action have we seen now. Look,
- 9:24Speaker 1: I would love to see him follow through and really
- 9:27Speaker 1: treat Leon Black the way he should treat him like
- 9:29Speaker 1: everybody else. That's all I've asked for. I'm not asking
- 9:32Speaker 1: for a pogram. I'm not asking for Leon Black to
- 9:34Speaker 1: be thrown in prison and not be able to defend himself.
- 9:38Speaker 1: What I'm asking for is what the law requires, an
- 9:41Speaker 1: investigation into serious allegations. And until we have a real investigation,
- 9:48Speaker 1: until everybody's looked at, until all the evidence is put forward,
- 9:51Speaker 1: and believe me, there's a ton of it, then this
- 9:54Speaker 1: isn't over. This isn't something that's just gonna be put
- 9:58Speaker 1: to bed. Way too many people understand how deep it
- 10:02Speaker 1: goes and how many powerful people are involved, and when
- 10:06Speaker 1: people like Leon Black continue to get off, continue to
- 10:08Speaker 1: be able to skirt the process that you and I
- 10:11Speaker 1: would have to adhere to, well, people are paying attention
- 10:15Speaker 1: and they understand that they would never ever get that
- 10:18Speaker 1: kind of courtesy. So the question is why is Leon Black?
- 10:24Speaker 1: All the information that goes with this episode can be
- 10:27Speaker 1: found in the description box.
