Mega Edition: Bill Barr And His Epstein Related Narrative (10/11/26) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: And welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. One aspect of
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: what happened with Jeffrey Epstein that is not talked about
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: nowhere near enough is what happened inside of that gel
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: cell when he was sharing it with Nicholas Tartaglione. And
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: one of the few people who might know the truth,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: who might know what really happened, is Bill Barr. Or
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: as I have dubbed him here on the podcast, Darth Barr.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: And the fact that he says that he's seen evidence
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: that says that Jeffrey Epstein most certainly killed himself. Well,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: if that's the case, and you have seen this evidence,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: where is it for the rest of us to take
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: a look at? Why isn't that released? Why isn't that
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: something that is for public consumption? You want to end
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: conspiracy theories? You want to end people saying things like
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Epstein didn't kill himself? The best way to do that
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: is to shine some light on all this stuff that's
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: been hidden. And of course, that's what we all hoped
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: that the Inspector General's report was going to do, but
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: that's not the case. All we got was more BS,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: more nonsense, especially when talking about the situation with Nicholas Tartaglione.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: We didn't get hardly anything in the OIG report talking
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: about Tartaglione or the fact that Epstein, one of the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: most or should be one of the most secure prisoners
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: in the whole entire country, well, he's in a jail
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: cell with a guy who is being charged with four homicides. Now,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: even in the movies, that doesn't happen. So how in
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the world did it happen in real life? And then furthermore,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: after Jeffrey Epstein allegedly tried to kill himself that first time,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: With Tartaglione as his cellmate, the MCC has that quick
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: investigation that clears Tartaglione basically right away and just on
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: his word. Because remember, the cameras allegedly weren't working. So
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: that means that MCC and the Bureau of Prisons took
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Nicholas Tartaglione at his word. Sounds like a great idea.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: So there's still a lot of questions here. And Bill
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Barr is somebody that if Congress or Senate is going
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: to put together some sort of committee, they should be
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: calling Bill Barr up there and he should be put
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: under oath. And furthermore, let's see all the video. Let's
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: see it all. This isn't national security we're talking about here.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: We're talking about jail. We're talking about a place where
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: people go and they're not even convicted yet for the
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: most part. So let's have this conversation. Let's talk about it.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Let's see all the evidence. And certainly, let's see the videos.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: And if not, well, you can expect a whole lot
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: of people to still have a whole lot of questions
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and a whole lot of conspiracies to continue to pop up.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Today's article is from the Daily Mail and the headline,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein's brother Mark accuses Bill Barr of covering up
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: pedophiles' death and says Trump's AG was protecting someone. Look,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I agree. I think that Bill Barr knows more than
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: he's letting on. How much more? I don't know. I
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: wasn't there, but I don't buy the official narrative. I
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: don't buy it for one single second because they told
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: us that that's what happened. We should just buy into it.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: And it's funny because there's a lot of people out
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: there that won't believe the government at all until, of course,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: it tickles their confirmation bias. As long as that happens, well,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: they're completely on board. Me? I'm a trust but verify
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: kind of guy, especially when we're talking about an investigation
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: like this. and the guy like Bill Barr. No offense
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: or anything, but come on. Darth Barr has been part
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: of the government apparatus in D.C. for how long? And
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: you want me to trust this guy's word? Mr. FBI? Mr. CIA? Mr.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Intelligence on the American people? And you want me to
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: trust his word? That is a very, very big ask.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: This article was authored by Will Potter. Jeffrey Epstein's brother
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: slammed former Attorney General Bill Darth Barr and the handling
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: of the pedophile's controversial death as he accused him of
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: a cover-up. Mark Epstein, 69, a property developer, hit out
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: at Barr for his infamous line that there was a
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: perfect storm of screw-ups that led to Epstein's apparent suicide
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: in a Manhattan jail in August of 2019. Yes, there
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: were screw-ups, but that doesn't mean that my brother was,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: you know, committed suicide because of screw-ups, he told NewsNation's
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Leland Vittert. Why? I mean, you'd have to ask Bill
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Barr if he was covering this up, which it appears
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: to be. Who was he covering it up for? Who
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: was Bill Barr protecting? And I know that sounds wild
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: as hell, but it's really not that big of a leap.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: When you look at Bill Barr, his involvement in this,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and the fact that we've hardly seen any evidence that
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Bill Barr says that he saw... Why would anyone believe that?
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: And what about Bill Barr and his history would lead
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: you to believe that he is somebody that's trustworthy and
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: somebody that we should trust when it comes to something
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: like this? Barr, the Attorney General for President Donald Trump
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: from 2019 to 2020, came under intense scrutiny in the
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: aftermath of Epstein's death as it became clear institutional failings
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: allowed him to escape justice. If you want to call
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: him that, Let's start with Tartaglione, and until somebody answers
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: that question about Tartaglione and that gel cell, none of
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: this other stuff makes sense. Epstein was found hanged from
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: his neck in his Manhattan gel cell with a strip
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: of orange bedsheet. It was later revealed he was taken
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: off suicide watch and housed alone against procedure, wasn't subject
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: to irregular checks, and the surveillance cameras were not working
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: at the time. In a widely publicized reaction, Barr said
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: he was appalled by the situation and ordered investigations but
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: concluded that it was merely a perfect storm of screw-ups.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Many questioned whether Epstein was allowed to kill himself to
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: stop the great and the good who he befriended being
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: embarrassed by revelations at any criminal trial. And I certainly
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: think there's some merit to that. Could Tartaglione have been
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: in that cell with Epstein to pass on a message
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: like I've said several times before? Basically, Tartaglione telling him,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: we can reach out and touch you whenever we want.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: So either you do it or we're going to do
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: it for you. And then he roughs them up. Again,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: my speculation. I wasn't in that jail cell. I don't
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: know what happened. But those cameras should have been working
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: and there should have been redundancies, no? And the fact
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: that Jeffrey Epstein told everybody that he was assaulted by
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Tartaglione before saying he wasn't. I have a lot of
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: questions here. And I don't think that we've had legitimate
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: answers from the DOJ, from the BOP, and certainly not
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: from the institution while it was open. All we got
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: was the runaround. And then we got the classic, right?
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: The classic line. Well, this is an open investigation, so
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: we can't give you any information. Yeah, they love that one, right?
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: So they're just going to have the Epstein investigation open
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: until St. Smithen's Day, I guess, because at this point,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: you would think that they'd be releasing this shit in
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: troves like the way Preska's doing it. But until some
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: judge gets involved, we're not going to see that, especially
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: not from the BOP. Epstein's brother has repeatedly called for
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: further scrutiny over the financier pedophile's death, repeating this call
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: this week, as he said there doesn't seem to have
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: been much of an investigation at all. There hasn't been,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: and there wasn't one. Not a worthwhile one, that's for
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: damn sure. And then all of these other people that
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: were involved here. You had captains, you had lieutenants, you
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: had sergeants, you had shift bosses. Nobody got fired. Nobody.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: So for all the nonsense about Bill Barr, looking at
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: all of these irregularities and the perfect storm of mess-ups,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: nobody got fired. Nobody lost their job. Nobody went to jail.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: You know who lost out? Once again, that's right, folks.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: You and I, the taxpayer. And you know who really
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: lost out? The survivors who want justice. Things like the
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: EMT and the medical personnel at the hospital, none of
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: them have ever been questioned, he continued. They're always questioned,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: especially in high profile cases. He's not wrong. Anytime somebody
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: dies in jail, automatically that jail cell is treated as
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: a crime scene until they figure it out. But here
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: that didn't happen. Policy wasn't followed. They did whatever they want, basically.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: And the most galling part is that there was never
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: any kind of accountability. The question becomes what investigation was done.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: There doesn't seem to have been any. Numerous experts have
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: spoken out in the years since Epstein's death to cast
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: doubt over the quick conclusion that it was a suicide,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: a factor that Mark Epstein said continues to be overlooked
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: by officials. The pathologist that did the autopsy and a
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: doctor who I had there, they both came out of
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the autopsy saying they could not call it a suicide
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: because it appeared too much like a homicide, he said.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: There are a number of reasons why. The doubt over
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Epstein's death meant the official cause was marked as pending,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: a process that typically takes weeks to change. However, Mark
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: claimed A.G. Barr abruptly stepped in to officially determine it
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: was a suicide. So at this point, does anybody disagree
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: that Bill Barr should be brought before Congress and there
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: needs to be a whole committee that is impaneled? Let's
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: get a committee in Congress, in the Senate, and let's
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: get down to the bottom of this shit. And if
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: that means going after the financials, then let's do that.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: It wasn't really his position to do that, he added.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: When questioned on if he agreed with Barr's assessment the
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: episode was a perfect storm of screw-ups, Mark said, There
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: were screw-ups, but that doesn't mean that my brother, you know,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: committed suicide because of screw-ups. There are a number of
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: reasons why he would not commit suicide, he said, noting
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Epstein's insistence of making Bell rumored to be among the
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: largest in U.S. history at around 150 million before it
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: was revoked as evidence of his plans to stay alive.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: It has long been theorized that Epstein could have been
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: secretly killed by those hoping to keep him silent following
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: his arrest. And Mark said his brother confided in him
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: that he even had dirt on Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: He had dirt on people. He told me in 2016
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: that he had dirt on then-presidential candidates, he said. He
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: didn't tell me what that dirt was. Well, we have
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: to remember that Epstein loved to talk out of the
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: side of his neck. My man was involved in a
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: bunch of hyperbole. And there was a whole bunch of
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: trying to boost himself up by talking this kinds of nonsense.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: So you can't really be sure what's what. And considering
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: that Jeffrey Epstein was also a pathological liar, we also
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: know that the best lies usually have some truth sprinkled in.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: I wasn't involved with his day-to-day life, so I don't
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: know what he knows. But to go back to your
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: initial question, why? I mean, you'd have to ask Bill Barr.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: If he was covering this up, which it appears to be,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: who was he covering it up for? Who was Bill
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Barr protecting? This is not the first time that Mark
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Epstein has called out his brother's apparent suicide into question,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: telling the New York Post following the high-profile unsealing of
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the Epstein files he was still seeking surveillance footage from
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: his brother's cell block on the night of his death.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: He said he just wants to look at the facts, adding,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: when we consider the facts available, we get more questions.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: And that's exactly the truth. The more you look at it,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: the more you examine what happened, the more questions you have,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: especially if you're somebody who is a bit cynical by nature,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: such as myself and probably most of you out there.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: You're just going to believe what Bill Barr of all
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: people has to say. I'm willing to guess that there
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: is 0% chance that anybody out there listening to this
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: podcast right now is willing to listen to what Bill
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Barr has to say. And remember, they're causing their own issues.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: If they have this information, they have the video that
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Bill Barr says he watched, let's see it. Just release
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: it all and you'll shut everybody up. But until that happens,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: you can expect people to have questions. And that's because
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the official narrative has more holes in it than a
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Kurt Cobain fan's jeans in the early 90s. There appears
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: to have been no investigation. Once it was ruled a suicide,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: they saw no reason to dig deeper, and that's why
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: it was labeled a suicide right away and so quickly,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: so they could get ahead of it. It seems like
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: a cover-up. Why can't I find this pre-hospital report, and
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: why can't I get the 911 call? In response to
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: the recent and continuing document dumps from a Manhattan court
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: that have been dubbed the Epstein files, Mark said he
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: isn't sure what to make of them. I have nothing
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: to do with that, you know, and it's not my business.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: What I'm concerned about is my brother's murder, he said recently,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: according to a local West Palm Beach outlet. He maintains
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: that the investigation into his brother's death was a cover-up.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I don't think Bill Barr killed my brother. So then,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: who is he covering up for? That becomes a question,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: and that should be what is asked. And I can't
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: say I disagree with Mark Epstein here. And I think
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: the way to get there is for Congress or for
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: the Senate to act. the Judiciary Committee, someone to step up,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: put something together, and subpoena all of these records and
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: demand that the DOJ, that the Bureau of Prisons, turns
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: it all over. And let's get cracking. Let's see what's what.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Let's see who was really involved. And let's hold the
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: people who should be held accountable to account. You know,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the same story we've been singing here on this podcast
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: for over four years now. So hopefully there's going to
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: be some action. Do I think it's going to lead
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: to anything else as far as arrests or anything like that? Unfortunately,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I don't. The DOJ has had plenty of time to act.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: They've had plenty of time to build an investigation. And still,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: we're left with only Glenn Maxwell in prison and many
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: questions still surrounding the death of Jeffrey Epstein. All of
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: the information that goes with this episode can be found
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: in the description box. What's up, everyone, and welcome back
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: to the Epstein Chronicles. Bill Barr, the ex-Attorney General of
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: the United States of America under Donald Trump, wants you
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: to know that Jeffrey Epstein most certainly killed himself. You
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: know how he knows? Well, he saw the tape, folks.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: He's the only one who has seen it, but according
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: to him, nobody was in the hallway, nobody was near
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Epstein's cell, and it's obvious to him that it's a suicide.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: And guess what? It might be. But does anybody really
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: trust Bill Barr? And I remember when I was absolutely
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: demolishing Bill Barr while he was the Attorney General, calling
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: him Darth Barr, by the way. I got a lot
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: of resistance from people who were, you know, tribalistic or
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: people who thought that Bill Barr was a good guy.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: The fact is, he's not. The guy had a track
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: record leading up to this. Another recycled-ass bureaucrat. As if
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: there's nobody else out there that can do these jobs.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: And what's so crazy to me is this. For, what,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: three years? Four years? We had the legacy media beating
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: into our heads how Bill Barr is not a trustworthy guy.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: How Bill Barr is a liar. How he's a brute.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: And honestly, I didn't disagree with any of that. But
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: now all of a sudden he's no longer in office
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: and his word is bond. Everything he says we should
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: just trust with no evidence. Here's an idea. They can
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: clear all of this up. Just release the tape of
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: what happened in that hallway. And if there was nothing
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: going on there, then great. Let everybody see it and
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: people can move on. But when you're not transparent and
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: you try and hide shit and you act like a fool,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: people are going to have questions. Now, some people take
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: it a little bit far, of course, but there are
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: legitimate concerns here, legitimate questions that have still never been answered.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: And as much as Bill Barr loves to prattle about
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: the tape he saw here about Epstein and leading up
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: to Epstein's death, you notice none of these folks ever
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: want to talk about what happened in that cell with
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Nicholas Tartaglione? None of these people do. None of these...
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: so-called journalists, Bill Barr doesn't want to talk about it,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: nobody brings it up, like it didn't even happen. Well,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: it did happen. And I'm here to tell you, Jeffrey
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Epstein was assaulted by that dude, according to Epstein. His
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: own words to his lawyers. It wasn't a suicide attempt.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: He said he got roughed up by Nicholas Tartaglione. Now,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: was Tartaglione in there to pass a message on to Epstein? Look, bro,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: this is your fate. If you don't kill yourself when
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: you get out of this cell with me, then I'm
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: going to get myself put back in a cell with you,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to make it painful, and you're really
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: going to be sorry. Now, that's speculation on my part, right?
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: But it certainly doesn't seem like something that's too far
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: from the truth when you start putting all of the
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: pieces together. Considering Nicholas Tartaglione had a contraband phone a
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: few weeks before, then he gets moved to the cell
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: with Jeffrey Epstein, then all of a sudden the cameras
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: aren't focused on that cell, they're on the wrong tier,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: they think a black guy's in the cell with Epstein,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: it was all ridiculous. And you can't tell me that
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: all of that stuff just happened to be all screw-ups,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: because if that's the case, every single person that was
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: working at the facility, every last one of them should
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: have been fired, whoever was on duty. But you see,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: we didn't have any of that, right? No manager on
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: duty stepping up to take the blame. No Bill Barr
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: showing up, buck stops with me. There's no leadership anymore.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: All of these people are worried about their next gig,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: their next book, their next political appointment. And I find
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: it all obscene and absurd. But for Bill Barr to
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: act like anybody's just going to take his word, his bond,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: like this guy is a pillar of the community... A
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: man who only speaks the truth. And we should just
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: believe everything he says. It's just too much. Too big
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: of a stretch. For me anyway. Obviously. People are more
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: than welcome to believe whatever they want. Right? I say
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: it all the time. I'm not here to try and
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: convince anyone of anything. I just tell you the way
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: I feel about things as this stuff happens. And when
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: it comes to Bill Barr and the transparency issue here.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: There's a big ass problem. A big ass problem. We
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: haven't even talked about how there was no treating the
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: jail cell after Epstein's death like a crime scene like
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: they should have. Even if it was a suicide, it's
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: supposed to be treated like a crime scene. Where was
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: all of the body cam footage of the responding officers,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: of the medics? How come it was announced on 4chan
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: like 39 minutes before it was announced anywhere else? See,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that don't make sense. And
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Bill Barr will point to the video issue here and say, hey, look,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: You know, I know it looks like a perfect storm
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: of screw-ups, but in reality, in reality, still, we get
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: no answers, no transparency, and we're asked and expected to
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: believe the institutions that have been lying to us and,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: in fact, making things much more difficult in our lives
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: for way too long. But now we should just listen
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: and believe everything the guy has to say? Sorry, not
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: on this podcast. Alright folks, so today we have an
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: article from The Independent, and the author is Gustav Killander. Headline,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein security footage showed no one entering area where
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: he was held, Bill Barr says. The fact that so
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: many failures occurred at one time understandably led people to
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: suspect the worst, Barr writes, but nothing happened here folks,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: it's all good. Just the perfect storm of screw-ups. That's
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: what they want you to believe. And honestly, if it
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: wasn't for all of the other stuff surrounding this case
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: that we have delved deep into in, what, I don't know, 1,500
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: episodes at this point, then I might be able to
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: go along with it. If I had not followed this
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: case the way I follow it, I might buy it hook, line,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: and sinker. Hey, look, this is the ex-attorney general. He
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: says he saw the video. All right, well, what else
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: is there? But in reality, there's a lot more. And
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: just saying you saw the video is not enough to
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: convince people who actually have a grasp of what went
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: on here. In his new book, Trump Attorney General Bill
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Barr rejects conspiracy theories surrounding the death of disgraced financier, pedophile,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: and convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein. Well, what did you
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: expect him to say? Yeah, you know, while I was
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: in charge, shit went real south and this dude ended
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: up getting clipped on my watch. This guy won't accept
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: responsibility for anything. You think he's going to accept responsibility
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: for the death of one of the most high-profile inmates?
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Hell no. A perfect storm of screw-ups. That's what you
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: say if you work at a restaurant and there's a
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: bunch of orders that go out wrong. It sucks, right?
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, people will get
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: their food and they might be mad or whatever, but
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: nobody's going to end up dying over it. See, when
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: you fuck up here, when you screw up at your
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: job here, these are the results. And it's not just
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: that this moron, disgusting fuckbag died. Everybody's okay with that, really,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: at the end of the day. It's that he avoided
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: justice once again. And people like Bill Barr get up
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: there and they beat the drums of justice on a
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: regular basis. Run whole campaigns about it. We're the law
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: and order party. We're gonna bring law and order. They
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: don't bring shit, but more misery, more lies, and more deceit.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Awaiting
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: trial on sex trafficking charges in 2019, Epstein was found
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: dead in his cell at Manhattan's Metropolitan Correctional Center. Well,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: I like how you said found dead, author guy Killander here,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: because we don't really know what happened in that cell.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: All right? At least I don't. Again, people are more
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: than welcome to believe whatever it is they want. For me,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: the steps leading up to it, it's just too much without... Real, physical,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: tangible evidence that we can sink our teeth into. The
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: medical examiner ruled his death a suicide, but baseless conspiracy theories...
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Wait up, hold up, hit the brakes. Gustav Killander. Reporter
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: for The Independent. Guy I've never even heard of. when
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: talking about Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, has decided to
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: say that these are baseless conspiracy theories. Guess what, Gustav?
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Until people started really digging into this, the legacy media and,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: you know, people like your bosses, they all called it
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: a conspiracy theory too. But guess what? It never was.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: It's a criminal conspiracy, my friend, and all of these
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: scumbags are involved. But baseless conspiracy theories swirled that he
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: had been killed because he retained information concerning high-profile individuals'
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: actions with underage girls. Oh, well, those were reports, huh?
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Conspiracy theories swirled, did they? Give me a break, dude.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: The girls themselves talked about this. So you don't believe them?
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Is that what you're telling us here? Author for The Independent,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Gustav Killander? Because that's what they said. So what's the
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: conspiracy theory here? That Epstein killed himself? All right, well,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: we could definitely put that on the chart of quite
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: possibly being a conspiracy theory. But until everything is ironed
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: out and we have concrete information, all you have to
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: go on when you're saying, well, this is a done
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: deal is Bill Barr's word. That's enough for you. All right, cool. Perfect.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Reports that proper prison procedures had not been followed only
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: spurred on speculation. What should it do? Should everybody just
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: sit back and accept it? Well, you know, the Department
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: of Justice told us what happened here, and the Bureau
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: of Prisons confirmed it, so let's not ask any more questions.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Isn't the job of a journalist to be inquisitive? Isn't
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: the job of a journalist to try and get to
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: the bottom of things? Instead, they'll just yap and yapity-yap-yap-yap
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: and talk about baseless conspiracy theories without doing one bit
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: of research. But in the book, One Damn Thing After Another,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: which was obtained by Fox News Digital, Mr. Barr pushes
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: back on the claims that Epstein's death was nefarious. The
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: New York City medical examiner had conducted an autopsy and
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: ruled that Epstein killed himself by hanging. Other evidence also
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: pointed to suicide, but it was the video evidence that
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: confirmed the medical examiner's findings, Mr. Barr writes. Oh, well,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: that's all great. There you have it, folks. It's all settled.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: You can go home now and never think about it again. Mr.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Barr saw the footage. It's all been settled. Oh, and
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: the other evidence. Can we see it all? What's the
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: big deal? Why can't we see the whole entire kit
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: and caboodle of the evidence from the first attempt all
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: the way through his death? Is it national security? And
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: if so, why is it national security? What are you hiding?
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Just be very upfront and very transparent. I thought that's
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: what was going to happen with Merrick Garland. That's what
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: a lot of people were telling me, just like with
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Bill Barr. And I'm here to tell you, the same
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: way I was telling the folks who loved Bill Barr,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: the dude is a do-nothing, weak-ass... Spaghetti noodle spine having mofo.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: None of these people have the courage to step up
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: and take out these kinds of folks like Epstein's and
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: the people supporting Epstein. I personally reviewed that video footage,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: he adds. It shows conclusively that between the time Epstein
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: was locked in his cell at 7.49pm on the night
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: of August 9th, and the time he was discovered the
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: next morning at 6.30am, no one had entered his tier.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: How do we know the video wasn't doctored? Is that likely? No,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: probably not. But again, how do we know unless we
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: have access to it and independent sources can take a
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: look at it? But they'll act like this is the
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Kennedy assassination, right? You ain't getting nothing. Oh, you can't
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: have any information about this. This is a private matter.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: We're having an investigation. That never goes anywhere. That ends
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: up dying. Or they release the reports late on a
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Friday night. Mr. Barr noted that a perfect storm of
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: failures preceded Epstein's death, and that the fact that so
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: many failures occurred at one time understandably led people to
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: suspect the worst. But you see, the author of the article,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Gustav Killander, had to talk about baseless conspiracy theories, when
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: in fact, Bill Barr, who he's believing about all of
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: this anyway, says that it's understandable that this led people
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: to suspect the worst. So you can't have it both
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: ways there, Mr. Author. And the perfect storm of fuck-ups? Well,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: here's an idea. Did anybody get in trouble for that?
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Anybody go to, you know, jail? Oh no, a couple
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: suspended sentences, that's right. What about all of the stuff
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: prior to that? Who was in charge of the evidence
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: from Epstein's first alleged suicide attempt? Where was the chain
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: of custody? Who was in charge of pointing those cameras
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: away from the cell? See what I'm saying here? Can
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: we get a full-on report? But we never will. The
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: former top law enforcement official wrote that the mistakes included
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Epstein being taken off suicide watch despite an earlier attempt
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: at ending his life and leaving him alone in his
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: cell after his cellmate was transferred. Not one single word
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: about Nicholas Tartaglione. And when they omit shit, folks, people
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: like Bill Barr, you better believe there's a reason. Lies
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: of omission are still lies. And I'll tell you what,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: I cannot shake the feeling that that is the key
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: point here. The situation with Tartaglione and him being in
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: that cell with Epstein that first time around, it just
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: defies logic. And it goes much further than a screw-up
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: of epic proportions. Two correction officers who were supposed to
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: be keeping an eye on Epstein also slept on the
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: job and spent time online. They later pled guilty following
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: accusations that they tried to cover their tracks by falsifying records. So...
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Not only that, but what about their bosses? Remember, Bill,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: you know, all these people want to talk about how
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: they're the buck stops with them. They're the boss until
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: shit goes south and somebody has to take responsibility. Who
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: was the shift boss? Who was the lieutenant on duty?
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: And did that lieutenant get penalized and fired? Because if
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: you can't control your staff and keep your staff from
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: sleeping at work, I don't know what to tell you.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: I certainly have never had a job that was so sensitive.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: that I'm in charge of people's lives, basically. But if
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: any of my employees were ever sleeping, there'd be a problem.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: You mean to tell me working in a jail, that's
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: not a big problem? The boss doesn't stop by every
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: few hours or every little while, every 45 minutes to
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: see what's up? And let's act like it's the first
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: time they've done it, right? I'm sure it was just
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: the first time they fell asleep. as for Epstein Mr.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Barr writes it was no consolation to me that an
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: odious criminal was dead he should have been given a
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: fair trial and if found guilty made to answer for
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: his crimes that he was not is deeply disappointing to
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: me yeah well get in line Bill Barr You had
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: plenty of chances to go after Epstein. How long have
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: you been in the government? You smarmy son of a...
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Oh boy. I really dislike Bill Barr, folks. I really
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: dislike the guy. And frankly, I just don't trust him.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: I do not trust him. So there you have it, folks.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: That's Bill Barr dishing on the Jeffrey Epstein death while
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: in custody, what led up to it, and what, in
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: his opinion... Wasn't anyone else going into the cell, but
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Epstein obviously killing himself. So like usual, it is up
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: to you to decide. And as we get more information,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: if we ever get any more information, you know it'll
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: be added to the catalog. All right, everybody, that's going
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: to do it for tonight's update. Context episodes on their way.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Morning update, that'll be there too. And we'll get the
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: whole entire thing rolling once again tomorrow. If you'd like
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: to contact me, you can do that at bobbycappucci at protonmail.com.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: That's B-O-B-B-Y-C-A-P-U-C-C-I at protonmail.com. You can also find me on
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Twitter at B-O-B-B-Y underscore C-A-P-U-C-C-I. The link for the article
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: that we discussed can be found in the description box.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: All right, everybody. Until tomorrow, I hope that all of
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: you have a great night. What's up everyone and welcome
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. They want you
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: to believe it was simple, that Jeffrey Epstein, one of
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: the most notorious and well-connected prisoners in modern history, just
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: happened to take his own life in a federal cell
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: on the very night when the cameras malfunctioned, the guards
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: fell asleep, and every safeguard collapsed in unison. The Department
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: of Justice calls that a suicide. Millions of Americans call
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: it an insult to their intelligence. And at the center
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: of that insult sits William Barr, the Attorney General who
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: promised accountability, swore he was appalled, and then quietly closed
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: the book on one of the most suspicious deaths in
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: American custody. Now, years later, Barr is being hauled back
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: to Capitol Hill, and the timing could not be more critical.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: He will face the questions he never fully answered. Why
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: was Epstein removed from Suicide Watch? Why were the cameras
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: not working? Why were medical findings from Dr. Michael Bodden ignored?
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Why did the DOJ move so quickly to declare suicide
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: when every fact screamed for deeper investigation? This isn't just
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: about Epstein anymore. It's about the credibility of the justice
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: system itself. And so today, Barr will be forced to
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: sit under the lights, sworn in, and asked to defend
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: a conclusion that has never made sense. Lawmakers, we hope,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: will demand explanations, survivors will be listening for truth, and
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: the public will watch for cracks in the carefully constructed
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: wall of denial. Because this isn't just a hearing. Hopefully
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: it's a reckoning. A reckoning with the fact that Epstein's
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: death didn't just take a life. It took away the
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: possibility of justice, exposed the rot inside federal institutions, and
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: left behind the haunting question of who, exactly, was protected
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: when Jeffrey Epstein was silenced. The Department of Justice's conclusion
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: that Jeffrey Epstein's death was a suicide has never sat
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: comfortably with the public. The official explanation was delivered with
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: an air of finality, but without the transparency and evidence
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: that such a consequential matter required. Instead of closing the
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: door on speculation, the DOJ's handling of the case widened it,
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: leaving behind more suspicion than certainty. The improbability of Epstein's
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: circumstances at the time of his death is striking. He
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: was arguably the most high-profile inmate in the country, a
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: man whose testimony could have implicated billionaires, politicians, and royalty.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Yet the DOJ would have us believe that under these conditions,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: he was left unsupervised long enough to end his own life.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: The notion strains all credibility. The night of Epstein's death
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: reads like a checklist of implausible coincidences. Two guards fell
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: asleep and failed to perform their rounds. The surveillance cameras
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: in the area allegedly malfunctioned. And we're not talking about
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: minor lapses. These are catastrophic failures that all aligned at
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: the exact moment the most valuable inmate in the country died.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: For the DOJ to roll these circumstances into a neat
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: suicide package was to ask the public to suspend all disbelief.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Compounding this, Epstein had been on suicide watch following an
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: earlier incident where he was found injured in his cell.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Despite this red flag, he was removed from heightened monitoring
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: and placed back into a situation where he supposedly had
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: the means to kill himself. The DOJ offered no convincing
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: rationale for this decision, a silence that speaks louder than
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: their conclusion. Then, of course, we have the autopsy results.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Epstein's body showed broken bones in his neck, including the
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: hyoid bone. injuries far more consistent with strangulation than with hanging.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: The official examiner ruled suicide, but Dr. Michael Bodden, who
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: observed the autopsy at the request of Epstein's family, disagreed.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: He pointed out that the fracture pattern fit homicide. Instead
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: of treating his assessment seriously, the DOJ brushed it aside.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: The department's speed in closing the case was also suspect.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Epstein's death should have triggered the most exhaustive transparent investigation possible. Instead,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: the suicide conclusion was reached quickly with little effort to
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: reconcile conflicting medical opinions or public concern. Haste in this
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: case looked less like efficiency and more like narrative control.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: For the Bureau of Prisons, which is overseen by the DOJ,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Epstein's death was the ultimate indictment. Already plagued by scandals
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: and mismanagement, the Bureau now bore the responsibility for losing
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: custody of the most important prisoner in the nation. Guards
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: falsified records, leaders failed in oversight, and yet no senior
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: officials were meaningfully held accountable. The suicide ruling functioned as
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: a shield, protecting those higher up the chain. What the
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: DOJ asked the public to accept was a cascade of impossibilities,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: inattentive guards, broken cameras, a removed suicide watch, and injuries
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: inconsistent with hanging, all lining up by chance. the probability
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: of this occurring naturally is vanishingly small. Yet the improbable
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: story was cemented as official truth. Into this picture steps Dr.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: Michael Bodden's descent. Bodden, one of the most respected forensic
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: pathologists in this country, has testified in countless high-profile cases
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: and built a reputation for objectivity. And his view was clear.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: The injuries Epstein sustained were far more consistent with homicide
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: than with suicide. Multiple fractures in the hyoid and surrounding
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: bones are extremely rare in suicidal hangings, especially given the
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: materials and low drop circumstances of Epstein's cell. Bodden emphasized
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: that in his decades of work, he had seldom seen
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: such injuries in hangings, but had frequently observed them in
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: cases of strangulation. He noted that the marks on Epstein's
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: neck were horizontal rather than angled, a pattern pointing toward
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: external pressure. rather than self-applied force. These forensic details should
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: have at least opened the door to the homicide possibility,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: but the DOJ slammed that door shut. Even the supposed
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: ligature the sheets Epstein allegedly used was problematic. Its strength
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: and mechanics did not convincingly explain how it could generate
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: enough force to break multiple bones without a significant drop.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: The body position described, kneeling with the sheet tied to
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: the bunk, fit poorly with the fractures observed, yet these
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: glaring inconsistencies were ignored in favor of expedience. Other autopsy
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: details deepen the mystery. The pooling of blood in Epstein's
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: body suggested possible repositioning after death, an anomaly the DOJ
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: never clarified. The abrasions and bruising on his neck did
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: not line up cleanly with the hanging scenario, but suggested
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: manual compression. Bodden, present in the room, warned that the
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: evidence didn't add up. The DOJ, however, declined to share
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: the full forensic record publicly, leaving only their word against
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: growing skepticism. In cases of this magnitude, transparency is the
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: only path to public trust. But instead of opening the record,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: the DOJ treated and continues to treat the case like
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: routine business. Independent experts were denied access to full materials.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Bodden's testimony was dismissed. The message was clear. The suicide
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: narrative would not be challenged. And then comes Bill Darthbar.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: As Attorney General, he was responsible for overseeing the very
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: system that failed Epstein. His public reaction was carefully calibrated.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: He expressed outrage, acknowledged serious irregularities, and promised accountability. Yet,
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: his department's actions betrayed none of that urgency. The suicide
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: conclusion was defended, the narrative tightly controlled, and no independent
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: investigation was commissioned. Barr's words and actions never matched. He
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: admitted the circumstances were suspicious, yet still endorsed the suicide ruling.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: He said survivors had been robbed of justice but declined
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: to pursue deeper inquiry. He condemned the prison's failures but
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: ensured leadership escaped responsibility. In short, Barr managed optics while
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: shutting down accountability. Now, as Barr returns to Capitol Hill,
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: he carries these contradictions with him. Lawmakers hopefully will press
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: him why Epstein was removed from Suicide Watch, why the
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: cameras failed, why Bodden's findings were ignored. Hopefully they'll demand
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: to know why the DOJ was so certain of suicide
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: despite overwhelming evidence of something darker. Barr's answers, if evasive,
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: will only confirm what many already believe. That the department
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: protected the powerful by burying the truth. The political calculation
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: behind Barr's handling of Epstein's death is hard to ignore.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: Keeping the scandal alive risked exposing elites across the spectrum
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: to Closing it quickly served institutional and political interests. The cost, however,
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: was public trust. Epstein didn't kill himself became more than
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: a meme. It became shorthand for the belief that justice
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: in America is straight up rigged. And for the survivors,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: the DOJ's actions compounded their pain. Not only did Epstein
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: escape trial, but the government's conclusion ensured that no further
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: light would be shed on his enablers. The hearing today
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: is not just about Epstein's death, but about whether victims
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: were abandoned in favor of protecting reputations and connections. Barr's
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: defenders will argue that no direct evidence of homicide was found,
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: but this misses the point entirely. The failure of oversight,
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: the contradiction in the autopsy, and the refusal of transparency
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: mean the DOJ cannot credibly claim certainty. At minimum, The
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: case should have remained open. Instead, the DOJ chose closure,
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: and with it, suspicion. The legacy of Epstein's death is
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: not only that a man escaped justice, it's that the
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: institutions entrusted to preserve truth instead preserve themselves. Barr's testimony
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: today will be a reminder of that failure. He'll speak
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: in negligence, insist on suicide, and deflect responsibility, but the
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: damage is already done. Because the deeper questions will not
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: go away. Was Epstein's death an extraordinary convergence of incompetence
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: or the deliberate silencing of a man who knew too much?
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: The DOJ's conclusion cannot erase the evidence, Biden's testimony, or
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: the stench of improbability. Barr can defend the narrative all
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: he wants, but the public will never believe it. And
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: so the hearing on Capitol Hill becomes less about what
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Barr says and more about what it symbolizes, the enduring
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: gap between official narratives and public belief. A gap born
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: the moment Epstein's body was wheeled from that cell and
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: a gap that only grows wider with every unanswered question.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: From here, the story shifts from Barr's words to the
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: haunting reality that Epstein's secrets did not die with him,
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: they were buried, and the cover-up may run deeper than
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: anyone dares admit. All of the information that goes with
