Newly Surfaced Video Undermines Timeline of Guard Activity on Night of Epstein’s Death · The Epstein Chronicles

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of The
• 0:03
  Epstein Chronicles. I know we've been talking a whole lot
• 0:07
  about the death of Jeffrey Epstein, but we're going to
• 0:10
  continue talking about it until we get some answers. And
• 0:14
  that's because I don't believe the narrative that's been pitched
• 0:16
  to us by the DOJ and the BOP, and I
• 0:20
  think there's an overwhelming amount of circumstantial evidence that should
• 0:24
  lead any serious investigator to know that something really wrong
• 0:28
  happened that night and it wasn't just a coincidence. Now, look,
• 0:32
  I'm not going to sit here and tell you I
• 0:33
  know exactly what went down or who was involved, but
• 0:36
  I don't believe the narrative that they're telling us. I'm sorry,
• 0:40
  but I don't. Way too many things would have to
• 0:43
  line up and go wrong for their narrative to be true.
• 0:46
  And I think that from the Michael Thomas interview and
• 0:50
  the Tovin Owell interview, it's rather obvious that they're both
• 0:53
  lying about what went down that night. So the question
• 0:57
  is what are they lying about and who are they protecting.
• 1:03
  Today's article is from the New York Post, and the
• 1:06
  headline new video shows guards milling about with Epstein only
• 1:10
  a few feet away in his cell instead of conducting
• 1:13
  mandatory rounds. I thought they were sleeping. I thought Thomas
• 1:17
  was sleeping the whole entire time. Isn't that what we've
• 1:20
  been told by Tovin Nowell turns out that's a lie.
• 1:26
  This article was authored by Gabrielle Fami and Shane Galvin.
• 1:32
  A newly reviewed surveillance video from the night of Jeffrey
• 1:35
  Epstein's death shows the prison guards casually milling about only
• 1:39
  a few feet from the cell where he killed himself. Well,
• 1:43
  full stop, where he killed himself. Well, I'm glad you
• 1:46
  have all that information and all the evidence that leads
• 1:49
  you to believe that he, you know, killed himself, because
• 1:52
  I haven't seen that evidence yet, and at this point,
• 1:55
  I think there is enough evidence to refute the narrative
• 1:58
  and do it strongly. Correctional officers Touvin Oel and Michael
• 2:03
  Thomas are seen lounging in front of the officer station
• 2:06
  in the Special Housing unit of Manhattan's mcc center at
• 2:10
  around three fifteen am, both writing on a piece of paper,
• 2:13
  walking back and forth, and talking on the phone instead
• 2:16
  of conducting the mandatory three am rounds according to a
• 2:20
  video unearthed in the trove of DOJ documents recently released,
• 2:24
  and that obviously blows their narrative right out of the water.
• 2:27
  You know, the whole narrative. They were sleeping, They had
• 2:29
  no idea, well, I didn't know what Michael Thomas was
• 2:32
  up to, and Thomas I had no idea what Tovin
• 2:35
  Oel was doing. Meanwhile, they were walking around having the
• 2:39
  time of their lives. Can somebody please explain to me
• 2:42
  how these folks didn't end up in prison. Imagine being
• 2:46
  that bad at your job that had ended up in
• 2:48
  somebody dying and losing their life, and you just get
• 2:51
  to walk scott free. Because that's what happened. I mean,
• 2:54
  they falsified records. How are you going to falsify those records,
• 3:00
  pretend that you are sleeping the whole time, and then
• 3:03
  not end up in jail. It is unacceptable. Epstein was
• 3:07
  just a few feet away the first cell on the block,
• 3:09
  just down a short set of stairs behind the officer
• 3:13
  station on the ninth floor l Tier Wing. According to
• 3:16
  schematics of the prison, the sex predator is believed to
• 3:21
  have killed himself sometime between ten thirty pm August ninth,
• 3:25
  the last time Noel, who was working a double shift,
• 3:27
  checked on inmates, and six thirty am August tenth, when
• 3:31
  Noel and Thomas discovered his lifeless body while serving breakfast
• 3:35
  to the inmates. According to the Department of Justice, so
• 3:39
  Tovin Noel was the last person to see Epstein alive.
• 3:43
  How does that usually work out for people in the
• 3:45
  real world. Oh, you know, right away, you're a suspect.
• 3:50
  And then we look at the financial transactions. Oh yeah,
• 3:53
  nothing to see here. It's all just a big coincidence. Again.
• 3:59
  And look, I'm not going to sit here and tell
• 4:01
  you that Touvin, Oel and Michael Thomas were definitely in
• 4:04
  on it. But none of it adds up, and the
• 4:08
  circumstantial evidence leads me to believe that there needs to
• 4:11
  be a much more robust investigation into not only what
• 4:15
  went on inside of that GEL cell, but into all
• 4:18
  the people that we're working the night of. And I
• 4:21
  don't mean that OIG interview that we're looking at. I'm
• 4:25
  talking about a brand new investigation with a fresh set
• 4:28
  of eyes that is initiated. That's what we need. Bring
• 4:32
  people in subpoena power, the whole thing. But unfortunately, the
• 4:36
  only way we can get there is with a special prosecutor.
• 4:40
  And it doesn't seem like anybody is even talking about that,
• 4:43
  But if we're serious here, that's the way to go.
• 4:46
  We can't trust the DOJ to investigate themselves. We know that,
• 4:51
  So what are we left with. We're left with a
• 4:53
  special prosecutor. But for that to happen, Congress would have
• 4:58
  to have the willpower to make that move. And do
• 5:01
  you really think they're going to do that? Do you
• 5:03
  really think the DOJ is going to seed power when
• 5:06
  it comes to Epstein? No chance, not now, not ever.
• 5:11
  So we're in this loop. We keep on covering all
• 5:15
  of this information, but the DOJ refuses to act. And
• 5:18
  for the DOJ, that doubles their problem because now not
• 5:22
  only did they cover this up back then, they're also
• 5:25
  covering it up right now in real time, and people
• 5:28
  can see it and people are paying attention, and now
• 5:32
  people want answers, but unfortunately the DOJ is short when
• 5:37
  it comes to those. Instead, they want to talk shit.
• 5:41
  They want to try and turn the narrative around and
• 5:45
  attack people. Imagine having the Attorney General show up with
• 5:48
  a hit list, and instead of answering questions about what's
• 5:52
  going on with Epstein, she starts talking about crime and
• 5:56
  so and so's district or the dow. Now flip the script.
• 6:02
  Imagine if Merrick Garland did that, Oh, forget it. It
• 6:06
  would have been a shit show. And please make no mistake,
• 6:10
  I'm no fan of Merrick Garland, another do nothing clown.
• 6:14
  But the point is there's no consistency, right, none at all. Oh,
• 6:18
  you want this one to be held accountable, but not
• 6:20
  that one because they're in the same political party as
• 6:23
  me and they like the president. What does that even mean?
• 6:26
  And how can you call yourself a patriot if you
• 6:28
  have more loyalty to a man than you do to
• 6:31
  your country. I've never understood that way of thinking. I'm
• 6:35
  not loyal to any man or any political party. I'm
• 6:38
  loyal to this country and what's best for this country
• 6:41
  in my opinion. And if that doesn't jive with the
• 6:44
  ruling party's message, I don't care. The guards apparently ignored
• 6:50
  the bright orange warnings and reminders that the officer in
• 6:53
  charge of the Special Housing Unit had plastered on their computers.
• 6:58
  By accident or on purpose. I'll leave it up to
• 7:01
  you to decide. But I have a hard time believing
• 7:04
  that neither of these guards knew the basic duties of
• 7:07
  their job, and according to the depositions, they had no
• 7:11
  idea what they were doing there. They might as well
• 7:13
  have been at McDonald's Flippenburger's. The notes reminded everyone that
• 7:18
  Epstein was fresh off suicide watch, needed a bunk mate
• 7:21
  at all times and regular check ins. The DOJ Documents
• 7:25
  Review mandatory rounds must be conducted every thirty minutes on Epstein,
• 7:30
  as per god read one order. Shoe Boss Lieutenant Robert
• 7:35
  Gravlla later told DOJ investigators, I put it next to
• 7:38
  the computer. It was just something between us that said
• 7:41
  make sure the rounds were conducted, and he has a
• 7:44
  bunkie at all times. It's orange paper and black lettering.
• 7:49
  How did that work out? Oh, they were too busy
• 7:53
  shopping on the internet. Huh. Grovala said that he left
• 7:58
  instructions right next to the screen hanging on the PC
• 8:01
  sometime before he went home for the weekend. At two
• 8:04
  pm on August ninth. Whoever was there, they watched, they
• 8:08
  saw the paper. Monday, I came in and the paper
• 8:11
  wasn't there anymore, he said, so look for me, Thomas
• 8:16
  and Noel. They're the ones holding the bag, and if
• 8:20
  I was in charge, I would be investigating them like
• 8:23
  you wouldn't believe. I'd be giving them the Mafia treatment.
• 8:27
  Every transaction ever made, every person you've ever talked to,
• 8:31
  every place you've ever been, all of it, because as
• 8:34
  far as I'm concerned, their stories make zero sense, and
• 8:38
  in fact, I think they're lying. Gravala said that around
• 8:41
  eight am on August ninth, he brought Epstein and his cellmate,
• 8:45
  convicted drug dealer Ephrin Reys downstairs. Epstein was meeting with
• 8:49
  his lawyers all day, and Reyes had his belongings with
• 8:53
  him and was likely heading home. When I walked them
• 8:56
  towards the door, I said, you're going to get a bunk, recalled,
• 9:00
  telling him. Epstein is like, no, I'm good. He seemed calm.
• 9:03
  Gravala added of Epstein, he joked around because he asked
• 9:07
  for a new jumper and I told him no, and
• 9:10
  he asked why not. I was like, it's a jail,
• 9:12
  and you have what you get. Nobody else gets a jumper.
• 9:15
  It's not versace, you know. He's ha ha, he laughed,
• 9:19
  and that's it. Gravalas said that before leaving for the weekend,
• 9:23
  he told staff multiple times Epstein would need a new
• 9:26
  cell mate when he returned from the meeting with his
• 9:28
  lawyers that evening, and they ignored him. Remember in the interview,
• 9:33
  they said they had no idea that Epstein needed a
• 9:35
  cell mate. Nobody told them that. No lieutenants told them that. Well,
• 9:38
  that's a lie. He also told inspectors the reason that
• 9:43
  Epstein had multiple orange sheets in his cell, the cloths
• 9:46
  he used to hang himself is because officers failed to
• 9:49
  remove ray Is sheets when he was discharged, and they
• 9:52
  likely gave Epstein a couple extra after he complained he
• 9:56
  was cold at night. They fucked up. Gravalda said, sorry,
• 9:59
  that that's a big no go. Gravlla is still employed
• 10:03
  at the Manhattan Correctional Center and has been promoted to
• 10:07
  deputy captain according to the Bureau of Prisons. Well not
• 10:10
  at MCC. MCC is closed, so I have no idea
• 10:14
  where mister Gravlla is working. The House Oversight Committee chair
• 10:19
  called Noel in for an interview on March twenty sixth
• 10:22
  after The Post reported that she googled Epstein shortly before
• 10:25
  he took his life and banked mysterious cash deposits. What
• 10:29
  they mean by that is they piggybacked on our conversation
• 10:33
  about what went on that night, and that led them
• 10:35
  to start looking into Touvin Nowell and Michael Thomas and
• 10:38
  what happened that night. And that's a good thing. More
• 10:41
  people should be doing that. The more eyes on this,
• 10:44
  the better because I'm going to miss things right, I'm
• 10:47
  not going to get everything. So the more people that
• 10:49
  are looking at it, the better off we're going to be.
• 10:52
  Noel and Thomas were accused of falsifying records that said
• 10:55
  they checked on Epstein throughout the night, even though investigator
• 10:58
  has later learned they failed to do the three am
• 11:02
  and five am rounds. They were fired, but criminal charges
• 11:06
  against both were dropped in twenty twenty one by Obama
• 11:10
  appointed US District Court judge and Alisa Torres Well, I'm
• 11:15
  not shocked by that. They didn't want this case to
• 11:19
  move forward at all. The court knew that, the Department
• 11:22
  of Justice knew that, the BOP knew that, and the
• 11:25
  best way to mitigate the fallout was to keep everybody quiet.
• 11:28
  How do you do that, Well, you make sure they're
• 11:30
  hooked up it's no different than Epstein's serving up some
• 11:33
  hush money, except this time it's the federal government giving
• 11:37
  the two guards that were responsible for Epstein that night
• 11:40
  and out. So it's basically just another payoff, and as
• 11:45
  far as I'm concerned, it's unacceptable. So let's see what
• 11:49
  happens on March twenty sixth. But I think that the
• 11:53
  whole entire situation needs to be revisited, and I think
• 11:57
  that there needs to be a robust investigation into everybody
• 12:01
  who was involved in the decision making that led to
• 12:03
  the death of Jeffrey Epstein. Now if we get that
• 12:07
  investigation or not, that's a whole different matter entirely, but
• 12:10
  we most certainly should and you can guarantee until that happens,
• 12:15
  my fat mouth is going to continue to run. All
