Latest / The Vault: The Epstein Files / Mega Edition: Why Did The Epstein NPA Protect Some Co-Conspirators But Not Others? (5/6/26)
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
- 0:05Glenn Maxwell is formally launching her appeal and what should
- 0:09come as a shock to nobody out there who's been
- 0:12paying attention, she plans to try and use technicalities to
- 0:16get herself off and one of those technicalities is Jeffrey
- 0:20Epstein's Florida plea deal. Now, how many times have I
- 0:24talked about the Florida plea deal and how detrimental it
- 0:28has been to justice overall in this case. And that's
- 0:32why it's so crucial that those grand jury documents from
- 0:35Florida are released. That way we get a full look
- 0:39at what happened down there, and the courts get a
- 0:41look at what happened down there, and then an appeal
- 0:43can be filed to try and get this dastardly, disgusting
- 0:47plea deal taken off the books. This is a plea
- 0:50deal that should have never happened in the first place.
- 0:52But when you have friends like mister Mukasey, and you
- 0:56have yourself lawyers like Ken Starr, Alan dershe, Schwitz, left
- 1:01Kowitz and the rest of them, well, you don't have
- 1:03to play by the same rules that the rest of
- 1:06us have to play by. Today's article is from the
- 1:09Insider headline Glene Maxwell's lawyer claim Jeffrey Epstein's fifteen year
- 1:14old Florida plea deal should undo her sex trafficking conviction. Well,
- 1:19they tried to use that when her trial was going on,
- 1:22and the judge forcefully laughed at them and threw it out.
- 1:26Speaker 2: So they're gonna try it once again. What are they?
- 1:29Sony pictures?
- 1:30Speaker 1: They think that they're gonna re release Morbius and it's
- 1:32gonna do better the second time around. Because if that's
- 1:36the strategy, well, I have some news for you. It
- 1:39sucked the first time. It's gonna suck the second time
- 1:42as well. This article was authored by Jacob Shamsian. Gallaine
- 1:49Maxwell has appealed the conviction and twenty year prison sentence
- 1:53she received for trafficking girls to Jeffrey Epstein for sex,
- 1:57with her lawyers arguing that at fifteen year old age
- 2:00between Epstein and Florida prosecutors should have protected her. In
- 2:05the one hundred and thirteen page appeal filed a Tuesday,
- 2:08Maxwell's lawyers also repeated a defense that came up often
- 2:12in her trial. She argues she was a proxy for Epstein,
- 2:17the notorious and well connected pedophile who died in jail
- 2:20in twenty nineteen while awaiting trial for his own set
- 2:24of sex trafficking charges. In its zeal to pin the
- 2:28blame for its own incompetence for Epstein's crimes on Maxwell,
- 2:32the government breached its promise not to prosecute Maxwell charger
- 2:36with time bar defenses, and resurrected and recast decades old
- 2:41allegations for conduct previously ascribed to Epstein and other named assistants,
- 2:47The lawyers wrote in the filing. So basically, like usual,
- 2:51Glenn Maxwell's blaming everybody else. It's also interesting that this
- 2:57filing brings up the other named assistance. Is GlnE Maxwell
- 3:01prepared to throw them under the bus?
- 3:04Speaker 2: That would be a good idea.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Jersey in Manhattan Federal Court convicted Maxwell of five of
- 3:09six trafficking charges in December of twenty twenty one. Prosecutors
- 3:14alleged she groomed girls to have sex with Epstein and
- 3:18sexually abuse some of them herself. And that's why it's
- 3:21so vile, right, It's not like Elaine Maxwell was just
- 3:25somebody who was providing girls for Epstein. As if that's
- 3:28not bad enough in itself, but she was out here,
- 3:31according to some of these survivors, actually engaging in the
- 3:35abuse with Jeffrey Epstein. So it's not like she was
- 3:39just providing girls for him, like that's no big deal.
- 3:42She was actually engaged in this abuse. US District Judge
- 3:46Alison Nathan, who oversaw her trial, sentenced her to twenty
- 3:50years in prison, plus additional probation time and fines. She's
- 3:54currently serving her sentence in a low security prison in Tallahassee, Florida.
- 4:00I remember Judge Nathan is now on the appeals Court,
- 4:03the Second Circuit Appeals Court, so when this case goes
- 4:06to them, Judge Nathan is going to be extremely familiar
- 4:09with the facts surrounding this case. A rogue jur nearly
- 4:14derailed Maxwell's guilty verdict. There's no doubt that the Scottie
- 4:18David issue might prove problematic, and out of all of
- 4:22the things that Glene Maxwell is trying to grab a
- 4:25hold of, I think the Scotty David issue is probably
- 4:28her most solid pathway here because this dude's a knucklehead.
- 4:32While the rest of us are performing all kinds of
- 4:35mental gymnastics to try and get off of Jerry duty.
- 4:38This dude's lying to get on it. Maxwell's conviction was
- 4:44thrown into doubt, however, after one of the jurors gave
- 4:47media interviews disclosing that he was personally a victim of
- 4:51sexual abuse as the child. The jur identified as jur
- 4:55fifty in court documents and Scotti David his first and
- 4:59middle name in the interviews, felt to disclose his experience
- 5:03in juror forms and wasn't asked about it during the
- 5:07judges vor Dyer interview ahead of the trial. And being
- 5:11a victim of sexual abuse yourself, that doesn't automatically preclude
- 5:15you from being on the jury. But you can't lie
- 5:18about it. You have to be open about it, and
- 5:20you have to tell the truth when you're asked. Maxwell's
- 5:24lawyers asked Nathan to vacate her conviction and grant a
- 5:27new trial. Nathan held a highly unusual hearing where she
- 5:31questioned the jur who said he flew through the questionnaire
- 5:35because he was bored during the selection process and said
- 5:38he no longer considered himself a victim.
- 5:41Speaker 2: Now.
- 5:41Speaker 1: Look as much as I dislike Glenn Maxwell, I would
- 5:44be screaming from the rooftops. If this dude was sitting
- 5:47on a jury that was about to decide my fate,
- 5:50I know i'd want an appeal too. Now does that
- 5:54mean that she's going to have a successful appeal? I
- 5:57doubt it, But if I were her, I'd focus more
- 6:00on Scottie David and the Jur fifty issue than all
- 6:03of the other dumb nonsense her and her lawyers are
- 6:06babbling about. Nathan ultimately allowed the verdict to stand, ruling
- 6:11the jur didn't deliberately lie and that he would not
- 6:14have been stricken for cause even if he had answered
- 6:17each question on the questionnaire accurately. The episode with Jur
- 6:22fifty featured prominently in Maxwell's appeal. Her attorneys complained that
- 6:26Nathan didn't give them the opportunity to cross examine the jur,
- 6:31didn't allow questions about whether his experience was similar to
- 6:34Maxwell's accusers, and claimed he gave a patently absurd explanation
- 6:39for his failure to give truthful answers to multiple questions
- 6:43in the jur questionnaire. And honestly, look, there's a legitimate
- 6:47beef there. I don't know if it's going to be
- 6:49enough to get her an appeal, but it's certainly a
- 6:52legitimate beef. And the worst part about all of it
- 6:55is this student is nonsense. Was not even needed, glaidn
- 6:59Maxwell was going to be found guilty no matter what.
- 7:03Maxwell's appellate lawyers, Arthur Idella, Diana Faby Sampson, and John M.
- 7:08Lebenthal also argued that prosecutors filed the charges against her
- 7:12too late according to the relevant criminal statutes, that Nathan
- 7:16failed to fix a perceived misunderstanding the jury had on
- 7:20one of the charges, and that the judge gave her
- 7:23too high of a sentence based on her crimes. While
- 7:26I can't agree with that, it was up to me,
- 7:29she'd be serving her sentence at Gitmo Bay. Epstein's notorious
- 7:33plea deal protected Maxwell, the lawyers say. Maxwell's lawyers spent
- 7:38the bulk of the appeal arguing that Maxwell should have
- 7:41been barred from prosecution based on a two thousand and
- 7:44seven agreement between Epstein and federal prosecutors in Florida. The
- 7:49non prosecution agreement, negotiated by Epstein's high powered attorneys, came
- 7:54after law enforcement concluded that he had sexually coerced and
- 7:58abused dozens of young women instead of bringing federal sex
- 8:02trafficking charges. Then US Attorney Alexander Acosta allowed Epstein to
- 8:07serve a brief and lenient sentence in Palm Beach County
- 8:11Jail in Florida on prostitution solicitation charges. So it was
- 8:16just Acosta. Nobody else was involved here. It's pretty wild
- 8:19to think that some lowly state prosecutor at the federal
- 8:23level has enough power to give Jeffrey Epstein this kind
- 8:27of deal. Is that what you really want me to
- 8:29believe that nobody in the DOJ, none of the higher
- 8:32ups like Mukasey, had anything to do with this, huh,
- 8:36Because if that's what you're pitching me, then I'm gonna
- 8:38have to tell you you're a liar. The document also
- 8:42said that the United States would not bring criminal charges
- 8:45against four specific women, as well as potential co conspirators.
- 8:50Nathan previously ruled the agreements language bound only the US
- 8:55Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida, which Acosta led,
- 8:59and not the Attorney's Office for the Southern District of
- 9:02New York, which prosecuted Maxwell. And that's a fact. She
- 9:06got prosecuted on different crimes that were outside of the
- 9:09jurisdiction of Florida. Courts cannot infer intent to depart from
- 9:14this ordinary practice from an agreement's use of phrases like
- 9:17the government or the United States. Those are common shorthand,
- 9:21Nathan wrote, A plea agreement need not painstakingly spell out
- 9:25the office of the United States Attorney for such and
- 9:28such district in every instance to make clear that it
- 9:31applies only in the district where it signed. The Justice
- 9:36Department's Office of Professional Responsibility, which investigated Acosta's conduct and
- 9:41admonished him for the agreement, dug up volumes of emails
- 9:44and other communication regarding the agreement. But nowhere in all
- 9:49of that negotiation history, Nathan said, could Maxwell's lawyers find
- 9:53any evidence that Epstein's co conspirators would have unlimited protection
- 9:58across the country. It's funny that they bring up the
- 10:00emails too, considering over a year's worth of Acosta's emails
- 10:04during this period of time conveniently have been purged. So
- 10:09that's always nice, right. You would think that there'd be
- 10:11a record of what was going on with the prosecutor
- 10:15contacting his bosses talking about the case, but no, those
- 10:18emails were purged and they want you to believe that
- 10:21it was a technical issue. In Tuesday's appeal, Maxwell's lawyers
- 10:25argue that Nathan read the agreement too narrowly. Epstein wanted
- 10:29a broad agreement, they said. Her lawyers pointed to Leslie Groff,
- 10:33one of the people explicitly named as a potential co conspirator,
- 10:37who worked for Epstein out of his office in New York.
- 10:41US attorneys in Manhattan decided not to seek charges against Groff.
- 10:45Insider previously reported, must be nice to be part of
- 10:48the big club, right, and you know it's crazy. If
- 10:51they would have just hit them with RICO, all of
- 10:53this would have been avoided and all of these people
- 10:56would have been in prison. Epstein's objective negotiating the NPA
- 11:01was to obtain a global resolution that would, among other things,
- 11:05provide maximum protection for any alleged co conspirators. Maxwell's lawyers wrote,
- 11:11in any case, the judge should have held a hearing
- 11:14to figure out the non prosecution agreement's true meaning before
- 11:18concluding it didn't apply to Maxwell. The lawyers argued, Oh,
- 11:21I agree, let's hold a hearing, and any of these
- 11:24judges out there, in any of these appellate courts or
- 11:27any court in between that would let that Dragconian deal
- 11:31between Jeffrey Epstein and the government stand should lose their job.
- 11:36There is no doubt that that deal was created on
- 11:39the back of corruption, and that NPA should immediately be
- 11:44done away with.
- 11:46Speaker 2: All right, folks, Well, there you have it.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Glen Maxwell's making remove and we'll see where it all
- 11:50ends up. All of the information that goes with this
- 11:54episode can be found in the description box. What's up everyone,
- 11:58and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. Now that the
- 12:02Grand Jerry documents are released and we have been through
- 12:05just about all of the depositions, all of the information
- 12:09that's out there and available to us, one of the
- 12:11questions that all of us have to be left asking
- 12:15is how in the hell has Sarah Kellen Vickers been
- 12:18able to avoid getting hammed up? And the reason, unfortunately,
- 12:23is because of the non prosecution agreement that Jeffrey Epstein's
- 12:27buddies mister Mukasey and mister Philippe decided to sign off
- 12:32on after having several meetings with Jeffrey Epstein's legal team.
- 12:36And that's not me telling you that, that's directly from
- 12:39the OIG report. I mean, are we supposed to think
- 12:41that they were just having these meetings for fun. There's
- 12:44no way. These are busy people, right. They have a
- 12:47lot going on, a full ass schedule. They're not going
- 12:50to just meet for lunch to have a had do
- 12:53you do kind of conversation that they could have over
- 12:55the phone. They were meeting in person for a reason. Now,
- 12:58I can't tell you exact exactly what went down in
- 13:01those meetings. I wasn't there, but I can tell you
- 13:04the results are bullshit. And this non prosecution agreement was
- 13:09enacted to protect Jeffrey Epstein and not only Jeffrey Epstein,
- 13:13but all of his friends down in Palm Beach and
- 13:15elsewhere who were playing ball with them. And that's why
- 13:18this NPA was put in the way it was put in.
- 13:20That's why it was worded the way it was worded. Again,
- 13:24you mean to tell me that Acosta's bosses had no
- 13:27idea of the language of the NPA. We know that's bullshit.
- 13:31We know that it was kicked up. We know that
- 13:33Sloman was looking at it, we know that Osterbond was
- 13:36looking at it. So what are we even talking about here?
- 13:39And the sad truth is most people are out here
- 13:42talking about this story don't even know who those people are.
- 13:45And if you don't know who those people are and
- 13:46what their function was, then you're never gonna truly understand
- 13:50the scope of what went on here, and you're gonna
- 13:52continue running around talking about nonsense. And inevitably, those are
- 13:55the people that keep talking about lists and all the
- 13:58rest of it. When there's tangible, actual people who are
- 14:02involved that we know about who still haven't been held
- 14:04to account, shouldn't we start with the people we know
- 14:06about for sure, people like Sarah Kelln Vickers. Well, the
- 14:11problem is a lot of these people that were involved
- 14:13down in Florida are protected by the NPA, So it's
- 14:17very difficult to prosecute Epstein for anything that happened in
- 14:20Florida because of that NPA. However, as we learn with
- 14:24Glen Maxwell, that NPA doesn't travel. You're not off the
- 14:28hook for what you might have done in New York.
- 14:30You're not off the hook for what you might have
- 14:31done elsewhere just in Florida. And there's a lot of
- 14:34folks out there that don't even understand this basic concept.
- 14:38The NPA isn't a get out of jail free card
- 14:40across the country, but it does serve that purpose down
- 14:43in Florida. Today's article is from the Daily Mail and
- 14:47the headline Jeffrey Epstein's former assistant Sarah Kellen dodge's prosecution
- 14:52for sex trafficking despite allegedly being Gleann Maxwell's ex right
- 14:56hand woman. This article was authored by Daniel Bates. Jeffrey
- 15:00Epstein's assistant Sarah Kellen has dodged prosecution for sex trafficking
- 15:04despite being repeatedly mentioned in the Grand Jury files from
- 15:08two thousand and five. Not just the Grand Jury files,
- 15:11every single document we've read, Sarah Kelln Vickers has played
- 15:15a prominent role, yet somehow she's avoided prosecution. And not
- 15:19only prosecution, she's avoided the limelight when it comes to
- 15:22Jeffrey Epstein. She should be sharing a jail cell with
- 15:25Glenn Maxwell as far as I'm concerned. Kellen was named
- 15:30three times by Epstein's victims. In the transcript of accord
- 15:33hearing in Pond Beach, Florida, during the original investigations into
- 15:36the late pedophile sex trafficking ring. Victims survivors described her
- 15:41greeting them at his now raised seafront mansion and then
- 15:44leading them upstairs to the massage room. So how in
- 15:48the world is she not in trouble. Imagine this lady
- 15:50is waiting for these kids when they show up there
- 15:53to bring them up to this monster, and she doesn't
- 15:55end up going to jail, she doesn't end up getting
- 15:57in trouble. Well, in fact, it's the polar opposite of
- 16:00all of that. She's living her best life, married to
- 16:03her ex NASCAR driver, her husband, you know, living in
- 16:07a high rise, has multiple properties, traveling all around the world,
- 16:11doing whatever she wants. Meanwhile, the rest of us are
- 16:14lucky that we can pay her own bills. But if
- 16:17you were a friend of Jeffrey Epstein's and you were
- 16:19out here helping him molest girls and you know, do
- 16:22other disgusting, dastardly things, well you'll be rewarded by society.
- 16:27Once there, Kellen set up the oils for the massage
- 16:29before Epstein arrived and sexually assaulted or raped them. One
- 16:34victim described how she contacted Kellen to make an appointment
- 16:37to see Epstein, the first of hundreds of times she
- 16:40would go to his house to be sexually assaulted. Also
- 16:43named repeatedly was Nadia Marchenko, also known as marsen Kova,
- 16:47a model from Eastern Europe whose victims said they had
- 16:50sex with at Epstein's command. Let's not get carried away, okay.
- 16:55A model from Eastern Europe, more like a fourteen year
- 16:58old girl who was purchased by Jeffrey Epstein to be abused.
- 17:02Let's not get it twisted.
- 17:03Speaker 2: Okay.
- 17:04Speaker 1: You want to talk about being groomed, You want to
- 17:06talk about Stockholm syndrome, You want to talk about somebody
- 17:08that was put in a situation that is completely untenable, Well,
- 17:12we're talking about Nadia Marsenkova. And whereas Sarah Kellen Vickers
- 17:16came into this with her eyes wide open, Nadia Marsenkova
- 17:19was just a little kid who was groomed and turned
- 17:22into this. And when I say that there's levels to
- 17:24all of this, this is what I mean. If you
- 17:26don't know what you're talking about with this case, probably
- 17:29a good idea to just sit down and shut up.
- 17:31Both women were named as co conspirators under Epstein's Sweetheart
- 17:35plea deal with prosecutors in Palm Beach in two thousand
- 17:38and eight. Unsealed court documents alleged Martinko, who has never
- 17:41been charged with any crime, procured young women for Epstein,
- 17:45a claim her lawyers have denied. But under the extraordinary
- 17:49terms of the deal, they were exemmed from prosecution. And
- 17:52again it was all built in. It was keke walked in.
- 17:54So this is exactly the result. They wanted to make
- 17:58sure that nobody was going to get rolled. And if
- 18:01you start having people get arrested by the FEDS and
- 18:03the Feds start talking about fifteen twenty years stuff like that,
- 18:07well people are gonna start to talk, right, People are
- 18:09gonna start to tell the government what the government wants
- 18:12to hear so they don't have to go to prison
- 18:15for twenty five or thirty years. And that's why Jeffrey
- 18:18Epstein's lawyers baked this whole entire thing in to the
- 18:21non prosecution agreement. That way, nobody would talk to the Feds,
- 18:25nobody would roll, and everybody would be protected. Imagine if
- 18:29John Gotti got a deal like this. Another woman mentioned
- 18:33in the grand jury files, which were released this week,
- 18:36was Glenn Maxwell, but she eventually did go on trial
- 18:39and was found guilty in twenty twenty one and is
- 18:41serving a twenty year prison sentence. An Epstein victim told
- 18:46Daily Mail dot com. I have never understood why Sarah
- 18:49Kellen did not face prosecution. She was deeply involved in
- 18:52Epstein's operation. She should face justice just like Lane Maxwell did.
- 18:57Facts she should, But the problem is if they don't
- 19:00have anything to pin on her that's of consequence outside
- 19:02of Florida, then they're screwed because in Florida she has
- 19:06carte blanche. Folks, I hate to be the one to
- 19:08tell you, but that's how this works. If you sign
- 19:11that three to zero two and you proffer up that
- 19:13information or you're protected by an NPA, then you're protected
- 19:17in whatever district you sign that document in. So when
- 19:21it comes to Sarah Kellen Vickers, unless we can nail
- 19:24her on something somewhere else, she's gonna have cart blanche.
- 19:27And people don't want to hear that, but I'm sorry,
- 19:30it's the truth. And if you want to be mad
- 19:32at somebody, well don't even be mad out a Costa,
- 19:35because he was just another tool. If you want to
- 19:38be mad, be mad at the bosses at the DOJ
- 19:40who allowed this to all go down. We're talking about
- 19:43Mukasey and we're talking about Philip. Those are the dudes
- 19:48that were at the sticks. They were in charge. And
- 19:50if you're the boss, well the buck stops with you.
- 19:54In the one hundred and seventy six pages of grand
- 19:56jury transcripts and testimony from Joseph Riccari, the Late Pond
- 20:00Beach police detective who was one of the main officers
- 20:03investigating Epstein, he told the court that he interviewed one
- 20:06girl who had just graduated from high school and said
- 20:09she sent six others to Epstein based on her claiming
- 20:12she was like Heidie Flie, the notorious Hollywood madam. She
- 20:16appears to be Hayley Robson. Yeah, that's exactly who it is.
- 20:20The girl said that she first met Epstein when she
- 20:22was seventeen and was taken to his house where she
- 20:25met a woman called Sarah, who appears to be Kellen.
- 20:28Rocari said that the girl told him she was taken
- 20:30to the house she was introduced to Epstein's assistant by
- 20:33the name of Sarah. Sarah would then escort her upstairs
- 20:37prepare the room for massage by putting out the ointments
- 20:39and the different oils. So you can see why she
- 20:42had to be part of the non prosecution agreement. I
- 20:45don't think you could be any more involved than Sarah
- 20:48Kellen was. And you want to talk about really avoiding
- 20:52the hangman's noose, Sarah Kellen really avoided some serious trouble here,
- 20:57and again it all goes back to that bullshit ass.
- 21:02When the girl refused Epstein's advances, he told her that
- 21:05he would pay her to bring other girls to him.
- 21:07Epstein said, the younger, the better, Riccari told the grand jury.
- 21:12Perhaps the most disturbing account came from one victim, who
- 21:14said she began going to Epstein's aged sixteen and went
- 21:18there hundreds of times. The victim identified Sarah Kellen by
- 21:21her full name, and said she led her up to
- 21:23the massage room, where Epstein began to masturbate at her.
- 21:27Riccari said she recalled that the appointment was set up
- 21:30for that day. They the victim contacted mister Epstein's assistant,
- 21:34Sarah later identified as Sarah Kellen, where the appointment was made.
- 21:39She the victim was taken to the house. She remembered
- 21:42it it was on the weekend because she only worked
- 21:45on the weekends as she was still going to high school.
- 21:49According to the victim, she was forced to take part
- 21:51in a threesome or three sums with Nadiya Marsenkova, whom
- 21:55Epstein is said to have bought from her parents when
- 21:57she was fourteen. Epstein referred to her as his Yugoslavian
- 22:01sex slave, although she was actually born in Slovakia, part
- 22:04of the former Czechoslovakia. Epstein persuaded the teen to give
- 22:09oral sex to Marsenko during a threesome by offering her
- 22:13another two hundred dollars if she did it for five minutes.
- 22:16Speaker 2: She said.
- 22:17Speaker 1: The victim had been told Epstein would never penetrate her
- 22:20as he had a deformed penis, but one time he
- 22:23grabbed her and placed her head on the massage table
- 22:25and inserted his penis into her vagina. According to the victim,
- 22:30Nadio bought sex toys for them to use as a
- 22:33present for Epstein's birthday one year. Another victim eighteen, also
- 22:37named Nadia, while recounting how she was abused by Epstein
- 22:41at the age of sixteen. She was paid two hundred
- 22:44dollars each visit, and one time he asked her to
- 22:47touch Nadio's breast, which she did. A third victim, identified
- 22:51Kellen and described being introduced to Epstein's assistant, called Sarah
- 22:56Racclari said the stories were consistent with all the girls.
- 23:00He said they would be introduced to the assistant, who
- 23:02would lead her upstairs and prepare the room for the massage.
- 23:05In the master bathroom area, she would pull a blanket
- 23:08out over the massage tables and provide the ointments that
- 23:11mister Epstein would like to have used. In the case
- 23:15of the victim, who was sixteen, she was paid three
- 23:17hundred dollars for her first visit, and then each follow
- 23:20up visit became more and more sexual. Kellen has previously
- 23:24denied any wrongdoing and said that she is not a monster.
- 23:27Her parents had previously said that she was vulnerable when
- 23:30she met Epstein, having become a strange from them when
- 23:33she was eighteen because she stopped being a Jehovah's Witness
- 23:36the religion her mother and father follow. Her parents, Thomas
- 23:40and Mary Kellen, told Delhi mail dot com in twenty
- 23:43twenty that they feared that she was brainwashed and somebody
- 23:46might kill her. After leaving Epstein's orbit, Kellen married NASCAR
- 23:51driver Brian Vickers, and the two live in an apartment
- 23:54in New York calls to Kellen were not immediately returned.
- 23:57The other two women who were named as co conspirator
- 24:00in Epstein's two thousand and eight plea deal, Leslie Groff
- 24:03and Adriana Ross, have also denied wrongdoing. Well, folks, look,
- 24:07the whole deal here with Kellen is the fact that
- 24:10this NPA was signed down in Florida. This is where
- 24:13her alleged crimes were committed. And considering that, she's not
- 24:17going to be prosecuted anywhere else unless they have the
- 24:19goods honor somewhere else. So if they have the goods
- 24:22honor in New York, there's no reason for them not
- 24:24the prosecutor, unless, of course they're scared of what you'll say.
- 24:27But as far as prosecuting her or anyone who might
- 24:30have been involved with Jeffrey Epstein down in Florida, forget it.
- 24:34The NPA is going to protect him, and unfortunately, it
- 24:37looks like Sarah Kellen is going to skate here and
- 24:40that she's never going to be held to account for
- 24:42what she obviously was up to. So I'm not shocked
- 24:45in the least to see that Sarah Kellen Vickers is
- 24:48still swimming with her head above water, and unfortunately, I
- 24:52don't think that's going to change anytime soon. All of
- 24:55the information that goes with this episode can be found
- 24:59in the descript Daniel Bates and Stephen Wright at the
- 25:02Daily Mail, and we're gonna see just exactly what's going
- 25:06on with this strategy of the princes and this document
- 25:11from two thousand and nine headline secret document Virginia Roberts
- 25:17signed in two thousand and nine to resolve civil case
- 25:20she brought against Jeffrey Epstein will not save Prince Andrew
- 25:24from court again. Take your game of technicalities, take your loopholes,
- 25:31and shove them right into your I'll let you folks
- 25:35decide where. But really, all kidding aside, do you folks
- 25:41see what I'm talking about with the technicalities and the loopholes.
- 25:44Speaker 2: I know you all do. Most of you are smarter
- 25:46than me. Let's be real.
- 25:49Speaker 1: And the way that these people roll, the so called elites,
- 25:52with their technicalities and their loopholes and their bulldozing of
- 25:56witnesses and accusers.
- 25:58Speaker 2: That shit's for the past.
- 25:59Speaker 1: It's nobody's buying it anymore. And especially in cases like this,
- 26:07the lawyers have picked up on the tactics and They've
- 26:11adjusted and as you have seen, David Boys and Sigared
- 26:15McCauley have been a step ahead the whole entire time
- 26:19of Prince Andrew's and Galanne Maxwell's lawyers. Now, don't get
- 26:23it twisted. I'm not a gigantic fan of lawyers in
- 26:26any degree. For the most part, David, I don't care, right.
- 26:30Speaker 2: I'm not. I don't, I don't. I'm not engaged.
- 26:32Speaker 1: I don't engage in the whole putting people on pedestals,
- 26:35and especially lawyers.
- 26:36Speaker 2: But when you look at the way Boys and McCauley.
- 26:40Speaker 1: Have handled this situation, they have completely outpaced Maxwell's team
- 26:45and Joe Exotica of the Windsor family's team, and it's
- 26:48not even close, and they continue to do so. The
- 26:59legal settlement Prince Andrew hopes will get his sex assault
- 27:02case dismissed will not protect him from a lawsuit filed
- 27:05by his accuser, Virginia Roberts. Two sources have told The Mail,
- 27:09lawyers for the Duke of York aka the Joe Exotic
- 27:12of the Windsor Family asked to see a secret document
- 27:15signed in two thousand and nine by Miss Roberts to
- 27:18resolve a civil case she brought against Jeffrey Epstein, claiming
- 27:22it will release the queen's second son from liability for
- 27:26her claims. So they tried the Dershowitz approach here, right,
- 27:29you know, mister Alan Dershowitz, the lord of the courts. Mister,
- 27:34I'm gonna try and get documents that don't even pertain
- 27:37to me. Here's an idea, mister dirty dirsh back to
- 27:42Martha's vineyard, naked volleyball and being a voyeur and looking
- 27:47at your neighbors naked. Okay, no need to come running
- 27:53to your buddy Prince Andrew's defense and try and muddy
- 27:57the waters further. It is insane how long Alan Dershowitz
- 28:05has been getting away with putting his hands into the
- 28:08cookie jar. And this is what happens when you have
- 28:12the connections. Right, Look, this is the most important thing.
- 28:15If you don't take anything away from the whole, entire
- 28:19legal aspect of this, please take this away. Unless you
- 28:23have a high profile lawyer, a lawyer that costs, do
- 28:28you are fucked? Just please take that with you if
- 28:34you take nothing else, because that's an important life lesson. Okay,
- 28:39you ever get pulled over by the police, cops Feds.
- 28:42Speaker 2: Whatever.
- 28:43Speaker 1: It is not a word, folks, I'd like to speak
- 28:46to an attorney. That is what you should say. But
- 28:54two people close to the case insists the confidential agreement
- 28:57does not apply to him, dealing a potentially major blow
- 29:00to Andrew's chances of avoiding a courtroom showdown over her claims. Well, look,
- 29:05he'd better get prepared for a courtroom showdown. The game
- 29:08of technicalities, the game of loopholes, is quickly coming to
- 29:13an end as Maxwell's team has figured out that route.
- 29:18That sort of defense is not going to work. You're
- 29:22gonna have to challenge these accusations line by line. And unfortunately,
- 29:29if you don't have the truth on your side, and
- 29:32you're just one of these audacious, brazen liars like I
- 29:37think the Joe Exotic of the Windsor family is, well
- 29:40that's a little difficult, isn't it. I don't care if
- 29:43you're the greatest attorney of all time. I don't care
- 29:46if you are Zeus come down from Mount Olympus. If
- 29:52you don't have a client who's telling the truth, you're
- 29:56gonna get cooked. The settlement releases lawyers, employees, agents, and
- 30:05heirs from liability and connection with the Epstein case. The
- 30:08Daily Mail has been told it did not include any
- 30:12additional provision for Andrew, and it did not mention him
- 30:15by name. It is understood one source said, I don't
- 30:18see how this applies to Prince Andrew. Yeah, the next
- 30:21one will be, Oh, we're protected by the non brossecutionh
- 30:24U great man, that'll be their next line of defense.
- 30:27Scoundrel ass, scumbag. I mean, is this dude?
- 30:32Speaker 2: For real? You're the Prince of England, Bro, what are
- 30:37you doing?
- 30:39Speaker 1: And for the folks over in England? Oh there, I
- 30:43can't even imagine. Got this scandal going on, got other
- 30:47scandals going on. Meanwhile, the people of England are just like,
- 30:51fuck man, We're trying to go to work, have a
- 30:53pint after Why do you guys got to dick around
- 30:55and ruin our lives? And that's the sentiment held amongst
- 30:59the popular around the world at this point. And I
- 31:01don't care what your political stripes are. I don't care
- 31:04about that dumbass paradigm of the left and the right.
- 31:07You all know where I'm at with that. I've evolved
- 31:10way past that shit. I see the forest through the
- 31:12trees and I know what's going on, but people around
- 31:15the world in general are pissed off. People aren't having
- 31:18it no more, you see it. I mean, how long
- 31:21are the children of never supposed to just sit back
- 31:24and take it, and especially when it comes to crimes
- 31:30like this. Miss Roberts claims that she was forced to
- 31:40have sex with Andrew three times when she was seventeen.
- 31:43After being trafficked by Epstein. She filed her bombshell lawsuit
- 31:47in New York last month. The Duke has repeediately and
- 31:51strongly denied her allegations. Yeah, you know, because he's a
- 31:54credible source. Right, He's as George R. R. Martin would say,
- 31:58He's not really a viable narrator, is he. I honestly
- 32:04don't trust a word that comes out of this guy's mouth.
- 32:07And I've established my reasons. Why if you're gonna try
- 32:11and gaslight me and lie to me when a picture
- 32:14is available for me to see with my own two
- 32:16eyes of you hanging out with Virginia, and then you're
- 32:19gonna act like you've never even met her, my friend,
- 32:22that shit is not gonna fly with me.
- 32:24Speaker 2: My days of getting gas litter over.
- 32:27Speaker 1: The Bush administration saw to that. When I was a
- 32:29young man. I will never get dog walked ever again.
- 32:34And this dude's out here talking about Oh, I've never
- 32:37even met her, Well, what about the picture?
- 32:40Speaker 2: What about the email? You line?
- 32:42Speaker 1: Son of a bitch. The prospect of the settlement helping
- 32:48Andrew was raised this month by Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz,
- 32:52who Miss Roberts separately sued for defamation and battery. The
- 32:57case was dropped because he had given Epstein legal advice,
- 33:00meaning he qualified as a lawyer. And you see, Dershowitz
- 33:03is smarter than the rest of these guys. He'll wrap
- 33:06himself in eighty seven layers of the law as his shield,
- 33:11and it'll be real hard to catch this dude up
- 33:13on anything with his connections. One of the most vile,
- 33:18vile human beings going in my opinion, And honestly, I
- 33:22don't even care about saying it. I really just the
- 33:25distaste I have for this man is almost unparalleled. Mister
- 33:30Dershowitz told the newspaper that he thought the settlement was
- 33:33an airtight defense for Prince Andrew, who Miss Roberts has
- 33:36sued for battery and infliction of emotional distress. Informed sources
- 33:41told The Daily Mail the legal agreement would do little
- 33:44to aid the Duke's defense. And again I agree, I
- 33:48definitely think that it is one of those ploys, just
- 33:52another ruse. They know it's not gonna help him. But
- 33:55if they throw a little bit of you know, discontent
- 34:00out there, if they throw a little bit of you know,
- 34:03shade on things they're hoping that, you think maybe they
- 34:06can steal the narrative away, maybe they can get things
- 34:08to break in their direction. Well, guess what here in
- 34:12the new public space called the Internet around the water cooler.
- 34:16If you will, we all see it for what it is.
- 34:19We all see you for what it is. So good
- 34:22luck come trial time. One source said there is no
- 34:29Prince Andrew clause. Another source said this doesn't apply to
- 34:33friends or acquaintances. If Prince Andrew is relying on this
- 34:36for his defense, it won't go very far. A spokesman
- 34:40for Andrew declined to comment. And I had a suspicion
- 34:45that when PRESCO was so quick to say, sure, go ahead,
- 34:49come and get it, that this would be the case.
- 34:51I didn't think there would be anything in there to
- 34:53protect Andrew. Now Dershowitz, on the other hand, smarmy motherfucker
- 34:57when he was writing them protection agreements for Epps seen
- 35:00what he didn't have himself in mind? Come on, stop
- 35:03it my opinion. Obviously, I don't have any evidence to
- 35:05back that up. But again, two plus two equals four
- 35:09no matter where you go. Last night, Andrew's lawyers made
- 35:16their first official engagement with the case by filing a
- 35:19stipulation agreement at the New York Court, a statement jointly
- 35:23submitted by both.
- 35:24Speaker 2: Sides of the basic facts.
- 35:26Speaker 1: They all agree on. The filing acknowledges that the Duke
- 35:30was served with legal papers on the twenty first of September.
- 35:33He would normally have twenty one days to respond, but
- 35:36both sides have agreed an extension until the twenty ninth
- 35:39of October. So, all right, shit's getting real for all
- 35:44Joe exotic of the Windsor family. If he's hoping to
- 35:49rely on loopholes and technicalities and all this other bs
- 35:54that him and his so called elite friends have relied
- 35:57on for so long, he's in big trouble. You better
- 36:01come ready, you better come prepared, and you better have
- 36:04some receipts because we've seen just circumstantially along with the
- 36:10evidence that's built against you that you, my friend, are
- 36:14a liar. That is certainly what the circumstantial evidence looks like. Now,
- 36:19of course, that means little and less when we get
- 36:22to court, right, still got to convict, still got to
- 36:26prove it in court to a jury of their peers.
- 36:29But as of now around the water cooler, guess what, sir,
- 36:34the game of technicalities and loopholes is over. If you'd

- 37:04What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
- 37:07Epstein Chronicles.
- 37:10Speaker 2: Yo.
- 37:10Speaker 1: You ever watch a magic trick where you know the
- 37:13magician is cheating, but they've got the crowd eating out
- 37:16of their hand. Anyway, that's what the federal government pool
- 37:19with Jeffrey Epstein. They didn't bring him down, they made
- 37:22them disappear. And the real trick they got half the
- 37:25country to clap while they were doing it. And it
- 37:28was the greatest sleight of hand in modern legal history.
- 37:32These do nots stood there at the podium, flashing smiles,
- 37:35patting themselves on the back, telling us they'd finally got Epstein,
- 37:39like they'd just taken down the kingpin of all kingpins.
- 37:42But the truth they didn't just build that case small.
- 37:46They built it tiny, microscopic. They carved it down until
- 37:50it was as harmless to the people who really mattered
- 37:53as a plastic butter knife. And the whole time it happened,
- 37:55I kept thinking, if this guy had been anybody else,
- 37:58any other predator, any pimp, any other scumbag, with the
- 38:02network of abusers and enablers that have gone after him
- 38:05with Rico so fast, the ink would still be drying
- 38:07on that fucking indictment that have charged everybody in his orbit,
- 38:11seized everything he owned and dragged every last co conspirator
- 38:15into the light. But not here, not with him, not
- 38:18with her, not with the kind of names this would
- 38:21have pulled into the net. And that's the tell, that's
- 38:24the moment you know the case wasn't about taking down
- 38:27an operation. It was about shutting one down without exposing it.
- 38:31This was a control burn, not a wildfire. And once
- 38:35you see it for what it is, you can unsee it.
- 38:38So let's cut directly through the smoke in the mirrors.
- 38:40Let's lay it all out, not the pr friendly headlines,
- 38:43not the neatly trimmed press releases, but the ugly truth
- 38:47of how the FEDS handled the biggest trafficking case of
- 38:50our lifetime. And you know what really still burns me
- 38:54up about the whole entire Jeffrey Epstein thing. It's the
- 38:57way that the Fed strutted out in twenty nineteen, all
- 39:00proud of themselves, acting like they were finally bringing the
- 39:03hammer down, and then you actually look at the charges
- 39:06and you realize it's a joke. They boxed the case
- 39:09into this neat little package, just a couple of trafficking
- 39:12charges from a tiny three year period in the early
- 39:15two thousands.
- 39:15Speaker 2: That's it.
- 39:17Speaker 1: Never mind the mountain of allegations going back decades, never
- 39:20mind the endless list of high powered people who were
- 39:22in and out of his properties, never mind the fact
- 39:26that there was a whole infrastructure. Nope, they drew a
- 39:29little circle around the fraction of it and pretended that's
- 39:32all there was. And the most mind boggling part of
- 39:34it all, no Rico charges, none zero. This man had
- 39:38a criminal network as organized as any mob family held,
- 39:42probably more organized, and the government acts like Rico doesn't
- 39:45even exist. Rico's the stick that they beat organized crime with.
- 39:50It's the law that they use when they want to
- 39:52dismantle every single part of a criminal enterprise, money launderers,
- 39:57muscle facilitators, financiers, everybody. And they just didn't use it
- 40:03for Epstein, the guy running what was essentially an industrial
- 40:07scale trafficking ring for years. If you don't think that's suspicious,
- 40:12I don't know what to tell you. And here's why
- 40:14it matters a Rico case. Let's prosecutors pull the whole
- 40:17damn thread. It lets them go back decades and charge
- 40:20anyone who was part of the conspiracy, not just the
- 40:23person at the top. It lets them freeze and sees assets.
- 40:26It lets them subpoena every dirty email, every bank record,
- 40:29every flight manifest, every phone log. It gives them the
- 40:33power to taro apart shell companies, offshore accounts, and sheddy trusts.
- 40:37If the Feds had hit Epstein with RICO, the fallout
- 40:40would have been nuclear, not just for him, but for
- 40:43the people he ran with. And that's exactly why they
- 40:46didn't do it. Instead, they picked the safest route possible,
- 40:50small charges, limited timeline, just enough to get a conviction,
- 40:54but nowhere near enough to burn down the whole operation.
- 40:57You think that's because they were lazy. No, that's because
- 41:01they were scared of where a real investigation would lead.
- 41:04We're talking about senators, billionaires, heads of state, CEOs, people
- 41:09who don't get touched, and if Rico came into play,
- 41:12the dominoes that would have fallen could have reshaped the
- 41:15political and financial landscape. The government didn't want that. What
- 41:19they wanted was containment. And let's be real here, this
- 41:23wasn't some oops I forgot moment. This was calculated. They
- 41:26knew what Rico would do to the case. They knew
- 41:29that it would mean opening doors they never want it opened.
- 41:32If you've been paying attention, you know that Epstein wasn't
- 41:34just some creeple with money. He was connected, the kind
- 41:37of connected that means you're not really in trouble the
- 41:40way regular people are. You got relationships with intelligence agencies,
- 41:45foreign governments, corporate kingmakers. You got leverage, and that leverage
- 41:50is the reason the case was built like a cardboard box, flimsy,
- 41:54small and dezy to carry out a site. And I've
- 41:57seen how they handle assets they want to prote They
- 42:00charge them with just enough to make it look like
- 42:02they're doing something, but not so much that the real
- 42:05story ever comes out. Everything is kept on a short leash.
- 42:09They control the narrative from day one. In Epstein's case
- 42:13fit that pattern perfectly. Rico wasn't left out because it
- 42:16didn't fit. Rico was left out because it fit too well.
- 42:20It would have forced the government to admit what they
- 42:22already knew, and maybe, just maybe the government was involved.
- 42:28A real Rico investigation would have been a nightmare for
- 42:31the powerful. It would have pulled in the recruiters, the pilots,
- 42:34the assistants, the accountants, the property managers, the lawyers, every
- 42:38cog in the machine. It would have connected dots between
- 42:42his homes, his planes, his island, his shell companies. It
- 42:46would have put people on the witness stand who weren't
- 42:48supposed to talk, people who might have had to admit
- 42:51things under oath that would have major skin crawl. And
- 42:54that's why it never happened. And here's another thing. Rico
- 42:58comes with mandatory forfeiture. That means they could have taken
- 43:01almost everything Epstein owned, his properties, his planes, his art,
- 43:06his accounts, not just his punishment, but as a way
- 43:09to squeeze him and everyone else involved. That's the kind
- 43:12of pressure that makes people flip. Imagine what might have
- 43:16come out if they'd seized his entire empire and forced
- 43:19them to fight for every penny. But they didn't want
- 43:21him talking, They didn't want him desperate. Even when they
- 43:24finally went after Maxwell, they played the same game. The
- 43:27charges against her were serious, but they were surgical, grooming,
- 43:31facilitating transporting. Still no reco Still no, you're part of
- 43:35a massive criminal organization, just enough to get her locked
- 43:39up without blowing the doors off the thing. It's like
- 43:42they were saying, we'll give you Maxwell, but that's all
- 43:44you're getting. Don't ask for more, and don't let anyone
- 43:48tell you that this was about making the case easier
- 43:50to prove. That's garbage. The Feds have brought Rico cases
- 43:54with far less evidence against far less sophisticated criminals. They
- 43:58had piles of material here, witnesses, flight logs, bank records,
- 44:02surveillance footage. If they wanted Rico, they could have had it.
- 44:06The problem was in capability. It was willingness. If Epstein
- 44:11was working for them in some capacity as an informant,
- 44:14an intelligence contract whatever, Rico would have been a disaster
- 44:18for the agencies involved. It would have forced disclosure of
- 44:21his status, his handlers, the operations he was connected to.
- 44:25And the second you start pulling on that string, you're
- 44:27dragging classified information into the sunlight. And that's the kind
- 44:32of thing that they'd kill a case to avoid, or
- 44:35kill a man which brings us to his death. I
- 44:39don't care what anyone says. It was too convenient. He
- 44:43dies in federal custody before he can stand trial, before
- 44:46he can cut a deal, before he can start naming names,
- 44:49and with them goes the only real chance of prying
- 44:51open the whole network. Maxwell's trial was the epilogue, not
- 44:55the main story. By then, the cleanup was already done.
- 45:00Where's all the evidence they grabbed from his houses and
- 45:02the island, The computers, the hard drives, the photos, the
- 45:05videos locked up tight never to be seen. A Rico
- 45:10trial would have made that stuff public record. We would
- 45:13have known exactly who's where and when. But keeping it
- 45:16out of court means keeping it in the dark. Mission accomplished.
- 45:21And look this wasn't a botch job. It was a
- 45:23controlled demolition. They built the case to collapse neatly without
- 45:27touching anything they didn't want touched. Epstein was the sacrifice,
- 45:31not the target. The real target stayed behind the curtain, untouched,
- 45:35still operating.
- 45:37Speaker 2: Yo.
- 45:37Speaker 1: I've watched them use Rico against guys running neighborhood crews,
- 45:41small time hustlers, drug dealers with two corners to their name.
- 45:45Those guys get the full weight of the law throne
- 45:48at them. But Epstein, the guy with private jets full
- 45:50of VIPs, a private island, and a roster of powerful friends,
- 45:54he gets stripped down indictments that leaves most of them
- 45:57at blank.
- 45:58Speaker 2: Now is that.
- 45:59Speaker 1: Real justice or is that a shield? It's a protection
- 46:03service for the elite, That's what it is. And every
- 46:06decision in that case, from the charges to the evidence
- 46:09handling to the court room strategy, screams that the goal
- 46:12wasn't to expose the truth. It was to make sure
- 46:15the truth never got close to the surface. If they'd
- 46:18hit him with RICO, this whole story would look different.
- 46:21We'd have a public record of his network, his finances,
- 46:25his co conspirators. We'd know who flew where, who stayed where,
- 46:29who paid for what? But they didn't because they never
- 46:32wanted us to know. And that's the part that sticks
- 46:35with me. The choice. This wasn't about what they could do.
- 46:39It was about what they chose not to do. They
- 46:42could have blown the doors off this thing, and they didn't,
- 46:46and that tells you everything you need to know about
- 46:48who they're really working for. And in the end, they
- 46:52got what they wanted. Epstein's dead Maxwell was locked away.
- 46:56The public's distracted and the real players are still out
- 46:59there and were left with a couple of headlines and
- 47:01a whole lot of unanswered questions. The truth is they
- 47:05didn't just avoid Rico. They avoid pulling the pin on
- 47:08a grenade they knew would blow their own damn hands off.
- 47:11You start a real organized crime case against Epstein and
- 47:14you're not just catching the guy, You're pulling every last
- 47:17thread until you have a carpet full of loose yarn
- 47:20and nowhere to hide the bodies. And they didn't want
- 47:23that mess. So instead of lighting the fuse, they took
- 47:26the grenade, locked it in a drawer, and walked away
- 47:29whistling like nothing was wrong. And the part that makes
- 47:32me want to punch a hole through the drywall. They
- 47:35knew we'd notice, They knew the people paying attention would
- 47:38see right through it. But they also knew there's not
- 47:41a damn thing we can do about it. That's the move,
- 47:44that's the real hustle. Let the smart one scream, Let
- 47:47the headlines flare for a week or two, and then
- 47:50bury it under whatever celebrity divorce or dumb political stunt
- 47:54they got lined up next. Outrage fatigue is their number
- 47:57one weapon, and they've got an endless supply. You want
- 48:00to know why Rico never touched this case, because Rico's
- 48:03a net and this net would have pulled in the sharks.
- 48:06Sharks with names that you recognize, sharks who host charity
- 48:10gallas and smile for magazine covers. And you don't haul
- 48:15in the sharks when the same people funding your boat
- 48:17own the damn ocean. So they cut the net before
- 48:21they even tossed it overboard, gave us a couple of
- 48:23minnows and told us the fishing trip was a success.
- 48:26I picture it like this, behind closed doors, someone in
- 48:29a suit is looking at a whiteboard with Epstein's name
- 48:33in the middle and one hundred arrows pointing outward to senators, CEOs,
- 48:37foreign dignitaries, agency heads, and they just grab a rag
- 48:41and wipe ninety percent a bit clean to MESSI they said.
- 48:45The way they played it, Epstein was a lightning rod.
- 48:48He took the strike, so the rest of the storm
- 48:50stayed overhead untouched. You ever noticed how quickly the air
- 48:53got still once he was gone. Maxwell's trial wasn't a storm,
- 48:58It was a drizzle. It was courtroom theater designed to
- 49:01make it look like the rain was still coming down,
- 49:03when in reality the clouds had already passed. They didn't
- 49:07want lightning anymore. They wanted a light mist to wash
- 49:10the blood off the sidewalk. If they had gone Rico,
- 49:14the evidence dump alone would have been enough to shake
- 49:16this country's idea of who runs what flight logs under oath,
- 49:21bank records, staple to testimony, property deeds, and shell companies
- 49:25tied to faces the public thinks of as untouchable. It
- 49:29would have been the kind of thing that rewrites history books.
- 49:32And that's exactly why we never saw it. History is
- 49:34written by the victors, and in this case, the victors
- 49:37were the ones hiding in plain sight. And what really
- 49:40fires me up is knowing they've done the opposite To
- 49:43people with a tenth of Epstein's reach. Some guy running
- 49:46a street corner crew gets his whole family tree yanked
- 49:49into court under Rico. A biker gang loses every bike,
- 49:53every clubhouse, every scrap of leather. But Epstein, the guy
- 49:56with private islands and an air force full of jets,
- 49:59full of political royalty, he gets a prosecution as soft
- 50:03and precise as a surgeon removing a splinter. You tell
- 50:06me that that's a coincidence, and then I'll tell you
- 50:09what it really is. It's a message. It's them saying
- 50:13we take care of our own and their own. Aren't
- 50:15people like you and me? Their own are people who
- 50:18can destroy careers with a phone call, collapse markets with
- 50:21a whisper, or, in Epstein's case, take down a government
- 50:25by opening his mouth. That's the kind of insurance policy.
- 50:28You don't cash in. You protect it at all costs,
- 50:31even if it means pretending to hold it accountable. So, yeah,
- 50:35we got charges, we got court dates, we got headlines.
- 50:39But what we didn't get, what we were never going
- 50:41to get, was the truth, the full truth, the kind
- 50:44of truth that would have made the public realize the
- 50:47justice system doesn't just fail, sometimes it fails by design.
- 50:52That's the final insult. They know it, we know it,
- 50:55and they're banking on us choking it down anyway, And
- 50:58here's your bow on the whole last thing. If Rico
- 51:02had been used, we'd be having a different conversation right now.
- 51:05We'd be talking about dozens of convictions, names on plaques
- 51:08being ripped off buildings, fortunes being seized, and an entire
- 51:12network in ruins. Instead, we're talking about a dead man
- 51:16in a cell, a woman doing time at Camp fed
- 51:19while the real masters of the universe sip champagne, and
- 51:23a country that still doesn't understand that had just watched
- 51:27the biggest criminal cover job of our lifetime. And that's
- 51:31the part that nobody upstairs wants to say out loud.
- 51:33This wasn't just a mischance to go big. This was
- 51:36them making damn sure it stayed small. It's like watching
- 51:40a fire in a warehouse full of dynamite and the
- 51:42fire chief tells the crew just put out that one
- 51:45cardboard box in the corner and go home. They didn't
- 51:48want to touch the explosives because they knew exactly who
- 51:52would get blown sky high if they did, And when
- 51:54you look at it that way, the whole thing feels
- 51:56less like incompetence and more like a job well done
- 51:59for the people they were actually protecting. So here's the
- 52:03truth nobody in power will put on paper. They didn't
- 52:06want the Epstein case to be a reckoning. They wanted
- 52:09it to be a speed bump, a pause in the
- 52:11road where the machine slows down, cleans up its mess,
- 52:14and keeps on rolling. And now it's back to business
- 52:17as usual, same players, same system, same rod. The only
- 52:22thing that's changed is they've proven yet again that the
- 52:25law is a weapon. They aim where they choose, and
- 52:28this time they aimed at keeping the rest of us
- 52:31in the dark. All of the information that goes with
