1
00:00:00.350 --> 00:00:03.500
What's up everyone and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
2
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:05.900
Today we're going to hop in the time machine folks
3
00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:09.800
and head back to 2019. We have an article from
4
00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:15.009
the Scottish Sun and this article is talking about Maxwell
5
00:00:15.050 --> 00:00:19.019
and Epstein and their ties to the intelligence community. I
6
00:00:19.059 --> 00:00:21.219
know that's a huge question for a lot of people.
7
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:24.579
You know, was Epstein and Maxwell, were they working as spies?
8
00:00:25.660 --> 00:00:28.960
And I believe, in my opinion anyway, that they were
9
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:33.700
not spies, not the traditional spies you would think about. However,
10
00:00:34.060 --> 00:00:36.880
I do believe that they were assets and that they
11
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:42.560
were cultivated by real spies to collect information. And I've
12
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.939
said that since the very beginning, all signs point to that.
13
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:50.020
This was a lot more than just your human trafficking
14
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:55.469
operation for Epstein to fulfill his disgusting desires. You know,
15
00:00:55.509 --> 00:00:57.689
that was part of it, obviously, but there was a
16
00:00:57.729 --> 00:01:01.130
lot more going on behind the scenes. And in this
17
00:01:01.289 --> 00:01:03.750
article today, we're going to hear from a gentleman named
18
00:01:03.770 --> 00:01:08.829
Ari Ben-Munash, who claims that he was Ghislaine Maxwell's father,
19
00:01:09.090 --> 00:01:14.579
Robert Maxwell's handler. So, let's jump into this article, and
20
00:01:14.659 --> 00:01:19.819
let's see what author Emma Perry has to say. Headline,
21
00:01:20.260 --> 00:01:23.980
Come spy with me. Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein were
22
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:30.579
spies who used underage sex to blackmail politicians, ex-handler claims. So,
23
00:01:30.939 --> 00:01:33.959
this is something that has been talked about quite a bit,
24
00:01:34.620 --> 00:01:37.379
and I truly believe that this is what they were
25
00:01:37.459 --> 00:01:41.620
up to. This was their ultimate goal, was to collect information.
26
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:44.819
Because when you get to this level of power, and
27
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:48.659
when you're at this, you know, juncture of power, if
28
00:01:48.700 --> 00:01:54.010
you will, having information is worth more than money. If
29
00:01:54.069 --> 00:01:57.890
you can have information that you can use to determine
30
00:01:57.930 --> 00:02:01.450
someone else's fate, then you are in a position of
31
00:02:01.709 --> 00:02:06.599
ultimate power. And when you start having this sort of information, compromise,
32
00:02:07.459 --> 00:02:13.240
on scientists, politicians... business magnates, it sure makes it a
33
00:02:13.259 --> 00:02:16.219
lot easier for you to mold them to your will,
34
00:02:16.300 --> 00:02:23.650
doesn't it? Ghislaine Maxwell and her pedophile lover, co-conspirator Jeffrey
35
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:27.469
Epstein were both Israeli spies who took pictures of powerful
36
00:02:27.509 --> 00:02:31.169
men having sex with underage girls to blackmail them their
37
00:02:31.210 --> 00:02:36.310
alleged Mossad handler has sensationally claimed. So there's a lot
38
00:02:36.349 --> 00:02:39.669
there right off the bat, right? Now, I've always been
39
00:02:39.689 --> 00:02:42.669
of the opinion that they might have been passing on
40
00:02:42.729 --> 00:02:46.430
information to the Mossad, and it's likely that they were.
41
00:02:47.169 --> 00:02:49.490
But if you think that the buck stopped there, you
42
00:02:49.550 --> 00:02:53.219
are missing the boat. The CIA is not letting anything
43
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:56.520
like this occur in this country without having their fingers
44
00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:01.020
in the pie. Zero chance. So, while the Mossad is
45
00:03:01.060 --> 00:03:03.919
good at what they do, they are not like this...
46
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:08.639
all-world beating organization that some people make them out to be.
47
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:13.560
The CIA is head and shoulders way scummier than any
48
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:18.939
other intelligence group out there. The pair allegedly ran a
49
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:22.090
honey trap operation where they would provide young girls to
50
00:03:22.099 --> 00:03:26.629
politicians in order to squeeze them for information for the Israelis.
51
00:03:27.050 --> 00:03:29.129
And like I said, no doubt about it, I'm sure
52
00:03:29.169 --> 00:03:33.379
the Mossad was in on it. This is... has all
53
00:03:33.419 --> 00:03:36.360
the hallmarks of the type of operation the Mossad loves
54
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:41.039
to run. They'll find themselves one of their adversaries over in, say,
55
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:45.330
the West Bank or in Lebanon, and they'll set him
56
00:03:45.389 --> 00:03:48.169
up in a honey trap situation where he can be
57
00:03:48.250 --> 00:03:52.469
exposed as somebody who likes other men or whatever it
58
00:03:52.610 --> 00:03:55.590
is to embarrass him. and then they'll hold that over
59
00:03:55.669 --> 00:03:58.599
his head so they can manipulate him to do what
60
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:01.099
they want him to do. This is one of the
61
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:10.479
oldest tricks in the book, folks. The unsubstantiated claims have
62
00:04:10.500 --> 00:04:13.449
been made by Ari Ben-Minaj, who claims he is a
63
00:04:13.500 --> 00:04:17.329
former Israeli spy. Ben-Minaj claims that he was the handler
64
00:04:17.350 --> 00:04:21.329
of Ghislaine's dad, Robert Maxwell. who was also a spy,
65
00:04:21.730 --> 00:04:24.800
and that it was the former newspaper baron who introduced
66
00:04:24.810 --> 00:04:29.120
Epstein and his daughter to the Israeli intelligence agency. Well,
67
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:32.519
we've always thought that that was the case. And I
68
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.620
always thought that the narrative that Epstein and Maxwell didn't
69
00:04:35.660 --> 00:04:38.699
know each other while Bob Maxwell was alive was a
70
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:42.449
bit bunk. It didn't make any sense to me. And
71
00:04:42.709 --> 00:04:45.449
we know that Maxwell was grooming his daughter for this
72
00:04:45.490 --> 00:04:50.240
sort of position. You know, it's rather obvious when you
73
00:04:50.250 --> 00:04:53.180
look at everything and how it all came together that,
74
00:04:53.300 --> 00:04:55.899
you know, Ghislaine Maxwell didn't just happen to fall face
75
00:04:55.939 --> 00:04:59.319
first into this. This is all by design, in my opinion.
76
00:05:00.060 --> 00:05:03.360
And when you hear somebody like Ben Minosh talk about
77
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:08.680
his relationship with Bob Maxwell and Bob Maxwell's relationship with
78
00:05:08.819 --> 00:05:11.920
various intelligence services, you know, it all starts to make
79
00:05:11.939 --> 00:05:17.529
some sense, doesn't it? He makes the unverified claims in
80
00:05:17.569 --> 00:05:20.550
a new book called Epstein, Dead Men Tell No Tales.
81
00:05:20.930 --> 00:05:22.769
And I suggest you read this one too. This is
82
00:05:22.790 --> 00:05:26.250
a good book. Melissa Cronin is a good author. And
83
00:05:26.509 --> 00:05:28.670
the other authors that worked on it did a good job.
84
00:05:29.230 --> 00:05:32.329
Solid information in this book for sure. And this whole
85
00:05:32.370 --> 00:05:37.439
entire Israeli intelligence angle and intelligence angle in general, it's
86
00:05:37.540 --> 00:05:43.040
certainly something that is very, very, very apparent. When you
87
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:45.790
start looking at it and you start... you know, following
88
00:05:46.050 --> 00:05:48.750
all of the clues and all of the evidence. There's
89
00:05:48.810 --> 00:05:51.069
no way that Epstein and Maxwell could have done what
90
00:05:51.110 --> 00:05:55.829
they did without protection from people who were very well placed.
91
00:05:58.509 --> 00:06:00.670
In a preview of the book shared with The Sun Online,
92
00:06:00.930 --> 00:06:04.540
Ben Minosh says, Mr. Epstein was the simple idiot who
93
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:07.800
was going around providing girls to all kinds of politicians
94
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:11.180
in the United States. See, effing around is not a crime.
95
00:06:11.620 --> 00:06:15.939
It could be embarrassing, but it's not a crime. And definitely, right? Look,
96
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:17.839
if you cheat on your wife, you're a scumbag. You
97
00:06:17.860 --> 00:06:21.000
cheat on your husband, you're scummy. But you can survive
98
00:06:21.019 --> 00:06:24.670
that politically, especially these days. But if you get caught
99
00:06:24.689 --> 00:06:28.810
with an underage girl, there's no surviving that. And that
100
00:06:28.870 --> 00:06:32.879
was the goal for Maxwell and Epstein, according to Ben
101
00:06:32.889 --> 00:06:37.459
Minosh anyway, when it comes to their Compromat plan, when
102
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:44.069
it comes to the honey trap. But effing a 14-year-old
103
00:06:44.129 --> 00:06:46.810
girl is a crime. And he was taking photos of
104
00:06:46.850 --> 00:06:51.129
politicians effing 14-year-old girls if you want to get this straight.
105
00:06:51.829 --> 00:06:55.949
And look, again, these sound like sensational claims. If this
106
00:06:55.990 --> 00:06:58.569
was the only person talking about this, then you could
107
00:06:58.629 --> 00:07:01.810
probably just dismiss it out of hand as somebody looking for,
108
00:07:01.829 --> 00:07:05.810
I don't know, publicity or somebody who might just be
109
00:07:05.939 --> 00:07:09.279
straight up crazy or whatever. But it's not that, right?
110
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:12.300
We have years and years and years of evidence pointing
111
00:07:12.339 --> 00:07:15.480
to this. We have other people who have whispered about this.
112
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:18.259
And then this dude comes forward and he says he
113
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:21.420
was Robert Maxwell's handler and he has direct knowledge of
114
00:07:21.500 --> 00:07:25.540
all of this. Well, hey. Gotta be something that needs
115
00:07:25.579 --> 00:07:29.350
to be discussed then, right? And... We talked about this
116
00:07:29.769 --> 00:07:33.529
way back in 2019 when it was first breaking and
117
00:07:33.550 --> 00:07:36.610
this book first came out. But I thought it deserved
118
00:07:36.670 --> 00:07:40.470
another look today because it's a very interesting and important
119
00:07:40.529 --> 00:07:44.189
part of all of this. Because if Epstein really was
120
00:07:44.209 --> 00:07:46.750
a spy like a lot of people believe or an
121
00:07:46.970 --> 00:07:50.930
asset like a lot of people believe, then there's so
122
00:07:50.970 --> 00:07:53.829
much more here that needs to be unpacked and that
123
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:59.920
needs to be exposed. They, Epstein and Maxwell, would just
124
00:07:59.980 --> 00:08:03.819
blackmail people. They would just blackmail people like that. Ben,
125
00:08:04.220 --> 00:08:08.120
Ben Minosh is a mysterious Iranian born Israeli businessman who
126
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:14.110
claims to have worked for the Mossad from 1977 to 1987. Now, again,
127
00:08:14.269 --> 00:08:17.209
it's up to you to decide if you believe this
128
00:08:17.290 --> 00:08:21.389
man's claims. For me personally, what it does, it just
129
00:08:21.529 --> 00:08:25.860
lends some more concrete to the foundation because we have
130
00:08:25.899 --> 00:08:28.930
heard from a lot of people. that Epstein was an asset.
131
00:08:29.149 --> 00:08:32.870
We have heard from a lot of people about Maxwell's dad.
132
00:08:33.809 --> 00:08:36.340
And it's not just Ben Minosh who has said this,
133
00:08:36.769 --> 00:08:40.000
but if you believe his story and he was Robert
134
00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:44.419
Maxwell's handler and he was part of the Mossad, then
135
00:08:45.500 --> 00:08:49.980
this is a pretty strong testimony about who Maxwell and
136
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.649
Epstein were and what they were up to. He was
137
00:08:54.700 --> 00:08:58.220
arrested in 1989 in the U.S. on arms dealing charges,
138
00:08:58.659 --> 00:09:02.559
but was acquitted in 1990 after a jury accepted he
139
00:09:02.580 --> 00:09:05.279
was acting on behalf of Israel. So that right there
140
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:08.820
shows you he obviously was working for Israel, Ben Menashe,
141
00:09:09.059 --> 00:09:12.000
when he got arrested in this arms deal in 1989.
142
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:16.179
And due to his work with Israel, he was acquitted
143
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:19.429
in 1990 because the jury accepted that he was acting
144
00:09:19.669 --> 00:09:23.889
on behalf of the Israeli government. So to me, again,
145
00:09:23.950 --> 00:09:27.720
that points to him being honest about the fact that
146
00:09:27.779 --> 00:09:31.080
he was a handler for the Mossad, somebody who was
147
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.799
in charge of cultivating these assets, running these assets, and
148
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:38.799
then milking them for whatever information they came up with.
149
00:09:40.509 --> 00:09:44.179
Israel tried to distance themselves from him with government sources
150
00:09:44.860 --> 00:09:47.259
saying that they never had anything to do, that he
151
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:51.240
never had anything to do with intelligence services. Although, other
152
00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:55.929
news reports in both the U.S. and Israel confirmed he did. So, yeah,
153
00:09:56.049 --> 00:09:59.269
I'm not going to believe the Israeli intelligence service. I
154
00:09:59.309 --> 00:10:02.649
know it's breaking news that intelligence services like to lie
155
00:10:02.690 --> 00:10:05.389
all the time, but I'm not going to believe what
156
00:10:05.429 --> 00:10:09.009
the Israeli intelligence services had to say. Just like I
157
00:10:09.029 --> 00:10:14.259
wouldn't believe what the CIA had to say. It's rather
158
00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:17.539
obvious that this guy was working for the Israeli government
159
00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:23.259
in some capacity. He later wrote a book called Prophets
160
00:10:23.299 --> 00:10:27.389
of War inside the U.S.-Israeli arms network and in the
161
00:10:27.490 --> 00:10:31.889
early 1990s claimed that Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine's dad, worked for
162
00:10:31.929 --> 00:10:34.529
the Mossad. And that's for sure, in my opinion. I
163
00:10:34.549 --> 00:10:37.429
don't even think anyone can dispute that Robert Maxwell was
164
00:10:37.490 --> 00:10:41.100
working for the Mossad. I mean, you look at his burial,
165
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:43.860
look at the honors that the State of Israel gave him,
166
00:10:44.059 --> 00:10:46.399
you look at all of the chatter around him, you
167
00:10:46.419 --> 00:10:51.690
look at how well-placed he was as a tycoon of industry,
168
00:10:52.210 --> 00:10:56.610
and it's the perfect kind of asset for, insert intelligence
169
00:10:56.690 --> 00:11:00.139
agency here, and especially if you're talking about the Mossad.
170
00:11:07.269 --> 00:11:09.970
The new book takes this further and claims Maxwell may
171
00:11:10.009 --> 00:11:12.809
have worked for other governments too as a double or
172
00:11:12.870 --> 00:11:15.470
triple agent. That is something that I have always believed.
173
00:11:16.029 --> 00:11:20.000
And when you're an asset here like Robert Maxwell or
174
00:11:20.129 --> 00:11:23.120
Jeffrey Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell, a lot of times you're
175
00:11:23.139 --> 00:11:26.399
double dipping. You're passing information on to the highest bidder.
176
00:11:26.740 --> 00:11:30.500
You might have made connections with insert government here, and
177
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:32.740
they're offering to give you more money or status or
178
00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:36.220
whatever it is, but a lot of times these quote-unquote
179
00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:44.490
free agent assets, they're working for many people. Ben Minosh
180
00:11:44.529 --> 00:11:47.789
claims that despite reports Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell met in
181
00:11:47.809 --> 00:11:50.850
the early 90s in New York, they actually met much
182
00:11:50.929 --> 00:11:56.100
earlier through the socialite, human trafficker, condemnable scumbag and bipedal
183
00:11:56.149 --> 00:11:59.159
serpent's father. And we've talked about this too. There's no
184
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:03.500
way that Epstein and Maxwell didn't meet until after Bob
185
00:12:03.539 --> 00:12:06.399
Maxwell died. There's just no way, in my opinion. This
186
00:12:06.460 --> 00:12:09.059
was something that was set up, put into motion, and
187
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:13.360
Epstein and Maxwell were just the perfect vehicles for this operation.
188
00:12:13.740 --> 00:12:18.159
Ghislaine Maxwell to open the social doors. Jeffrey Epstein, well,
189
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:25.740
to do Jeffrey Epstein type shit. He claims that Robert
190
00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:29.779
Maxwell introduced Epstein to Mossad and then Ghislaine got involved later.
191
00:12:30.580 --> 00:12:34.620
Files from the British Foreign Office released in 2003 appear
192
00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:37.000
to back the claims that Robert Maxwell may have been
193
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:40.710
a spy, with one report describing him as a thoroughly
194
00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:44.570
bad character who was being financed by Russia, and another
195
00:12:44.629 --> 00:12:48.169
saying his questionable activities had been brought to the attention
196
00:12:48.210 --> 00:12:51.779
of the foreign officer on several occasions. So this guy
197
00:12:51.820 --> 00:12:54.019
had his hand in many pockets. We know that Bob
198
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:58.259
Maxwell was all about making that dough, right? Increasing his money,
199
00:12:58.299 --> 00:13:01.100
increasing his power, just like the rest of them. And
200
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:04.909
if he could work with, say, the KGB, work with
201
00:13:05.269 --> 00:13:10.350
the Mossad, work with the CIA, and maximize his clout,
202
00:13:10.529 --> 00:13:13.580
his political chits, as well as his income, you know
203
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:16.169
a guy like that's going to do it. and then
204
00:13:16.190 --> 00:13:20.549
it leads to his mysterious death on that boat, and
205
00:13:20.570 --> 00:13:23.070
it makes it hard for me to believe that he
206
00:13:23.110 --> 00:13:25.669
happened to fall off the boat like that, huh? With
207
00:13:25.730 --> 00:13:28.820
all of these ties to all of these different intelligence agencies,
208
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:30.740
he just fell off the boat while he was having
209
00:13:30.779 --> 00:13:37.320
a whiz. Okay. While the Maxwell family has always denied
210
00:13:37.379 --> 00:13:40.740
such reports, family friend Laura Goldman says in the book...
211
00:13:40.980 --> 00:13:43.620
My feeling is that he probably was an agent to
212
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:47.100
the Russians, the Israelis, and the British. I believe that
213
00:13:47.139 --> 00:13:50.470
Ghislaine continued his work. That's her own friend, Laura Goldman,
214
00:13:50.490 --> 00:13:54.049
saying that. And it's just, for me, it's obvious. When
215
00:13:54.090 --> 00:13:56.750
you look at the way they conducted themselves, the circles
216
00:13:56.789 --> 00:13:59.289
they moved in, the people they were hanging out with,
217
00:13:59.590 --> 00:14:01.759
what do you think, Ehud Barak just shows up at
218
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.029
anyone's house to hang out for dinner? You have to
219
00:14:05.090 --> 00:14:08.570
have clout in certain circles for these people to even
220
00:14:08.690 --> 00:14:11.929
entertain the idea of showing up to one of your soirees.
221
00:14:14.450 --> 00:14:17.090
It is not known whether Maxwell and Epstein gathered any
222
00:14:17.149 --> 00:14:21.129
intelligence about pal Prince Andrew in their alleged espionage work,
223
00:14:21.580 --> 00:14:25.320
although the book suggests that the royal was a target.
224
00:14:25.620 --> 00:14:29.539
There's no doubt that they collected compromise on Prince Andrew.
225
00:14:29.870 --> 00:14:31.990
And that's why I said, after all was said and
226
00:14:32.029 --> 00:14:34.669
done with this moron, that he should have came out
227
00:14:34.730 --> 00:14:37.529
and said that he was blackmailed by Jeffrey Epstein. He
228
00:14:37.570 --> 00:14:39.500
had no idea about any of this and he wanted
229
00:14:39.539 --> 00:14:43.200
to cooperate. But he's too stupid and has too much
230
00:14:43.419 --> 00:14:46.779
arrogance to even do that. But it's rather obvious they
231
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:49.000
had a file on him. It's rather obvious they were,
232
00:14:49.179 --> 00:14:52.590
you know, collecting compromise. To do what with? I have
233
00:14:52.620 --> 00:14:55.529
no idea. But it's obvious this stuff was being collected.
234
00:14:57.330 --> 00:15:00.879
John Dugan, who served as deputy sheriff in Palm Beach, Florida,
235
00:15:01.169 --> 00:15:03.440
at the time Epstein was in prison for his first
236
00:15:03.460 --> 00:15:06.580
slew of child sex offenses, says he was given access
237
00:15:06.620 --> 00:15:11.039
to Epstein's case file, including videotapes, in its entirety by
238
00:15:11.139 --> 00:15:15.809
Palm Beach police detective Joseph Ricari, who later died unexpectedly
239
00:15:16.110 --> 00:15:18.669
at age 50. Now, I don't believe one word of
240
00:15:18.710 --> 00:15:22.519
this John Dugan character. Never have, never will. always thought
241
00:15:22.539 --> 00:15:24.700
that he was a clown, always thought that this story
242
00:15:24.740 --> 00:15:27.570
was garbage, and I never took a bite out of
243
00:15:27.629 --> 00:15:30.809
it when it was happening. Whenever my bullshit meter goes
244
00:15:30.909 --> 00:15:34.090
off the way it was when this John Dugan character
245
00:15:34.190 --> 00:15:41.789
popped up, I usually veer away. Dugan managed to copy
246
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:43.940
the tapes, encrypt them, and flee to Russia, where he
247
00:15:43.980 --> 00:15:46.580
now lives. Well, let's see him, okay? You said you
248
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:48.659
had the tapes for how long? Another one of these
249
00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:53.139
BS artists. Although he has not watched the encrypted files,
250
00:15:53.259 --> 00:15:56.080
he tells Epstein, dead men tell no tales, that he
251
00:15:56.139 --> 00:16:00.070
is certain they contain blackmail material involving wealthy people and
252
00:16:00.090 --> 00:16:03.110
that Prince Andrew was a target. You haven't even watched
253
00:16:03.149 --> 00:16:07.309
the tapes. How do you know they're old Dugan? Do
254
00:16:07.389 --> 00:16:10.429
I think that Epstein was probably put up to getting
255
00:16:10.490 --> 00:16:13.529
some wealthy people to sleep with some underage women so
256
00:16:13.629 --> 00:16:18.190
these people could be blackmailed by Western intelligence agencies? Absolutely
257
00:16:18.289 --> 00:16:22.230
I do, he said. Well, yeah. That's as obvious as
258
00:16:22.299 --> 00:16:28.049
the sun rising in the morning. MI6 were concerned that
259
00:16:28.129 --> 00:16:32.409
Russia may have obtained compromise, compromising material on Prince Andrew,
260
00:16:32.850 --> 00:16:36.309
according to a Times report. Although Dugan claims he has
261
00:16:36.350 --> 00:16:39.470
given no information to the Russians. I think that was just,
262
00:16:39.809 --> 00:16:42.850
you know, Russia paranoia at the time, right? Oh, the
263
00:16:42.889 --> 00:16:46.429
Russians have compromise. I'd be much more worried about what
264
00:16:46.809 --> 00:16:53.620
the Mossad, the CIA, and MI6 has. Epstein was found
265
00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:56.120
dead in his New York prison cell on August 10th
266
00:16:56.210 --> 00:16:59.750
after allegedly committing suicide while he faced charges for sex
267
00:16:59.809 --> 00:17:04.390
trafficking of minors. Now, again, we all know the situation
268
00:17:04.430 --> 00:17:10.039
surrounding his death. Coincidences abound. Melissa Cronin, the book's author,
269
00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:13.480
believes that Epstein alleged intelligence links add weight to the
270
00:17:13.539 --> 00:17:16.160
theory that he did not kill himself but was murdered.
271
00:17:16.900 --> 00:17:20.099
She also points to Epstein and Maxwell's links with prominent
272
00:17:20.140 --> 00:17:23.569
people from the science and technology industries... and believes the
273
00:17:23.609 --> 00:17:27.430
pair not only ran a honeypot operation, but also an
274
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:32.519
information gathering operation. 100%, I've always said that. There's a
275
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:36.519
reason he was collecting scientists. Now, what's terrifying is, what
276
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:38.880
did he do with this information when he got it
277
00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:41.160
from these scientists that were hanging out with him? And
278
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:43.990
how much of that information was classified? Now, I don't,
279
00:17:44.029 --> 00:17:46.630
maybe none of it was. I'm just asking the question.
280
00:17:47.390 --> 00:17:50.309
And it terrifies me to think about all of these
281
00:17:50.369 --> 00:17:54.420
knuckleheads sitting around, You know, having access to all of
282
00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:59.160
these young women and spilling all kinds of secrets. What
283
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:05.309
a shitshow. Before I started with the book, I was
284
00:18:05.390 --> 00:18:08.529
extremely skeptical of the murder theory, she told Sun Online.
285
00:18:08.970 --> 00:18:12.599
I'm definitely not a conspiracy theorist by nature at all.
286
00:18:12.910 --> 00:18:15.220
But the more that we dug into this, there's just
287
00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:19.579
so much incontrovertible evidence about his work in the world
288
00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:22.559
of espionage, his work with the Mossad, And it all
289
00:18:22.619 --> 00:18:25.220
comes together to make a really compelling argument for the
290
00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:28.440
fact that he was murdered. I think one thing that
291
00:18:28.509 --> 00:18:31.609
is interesting and important to say is that Epstein wasn't
292
00:18:31.670 --> 00:18:36.609
necessarily a spy in the traditional sense. He wasn't particularly
293
00:18:36.670 --> 00:18:42.470
loyal to Israel per se. He was a collector of information. Yes, yes, yes, yes,
294
00:18:42.589 --> 00:18:45.450
times a hundred. This is what I have always thought.
295
00:18:45.809 --> 00:18:48.859
And I've always said that. An asset for sure. Someone
296
00:18:48.900 --> 00:18:52.920
who collected information. But a free agent. He wasn't, you know,
297
00:18:53.009 --> 00:18:54.970
people want to set it up like the Mossad is
298
00:18:55.009 --> 00:18:59.890
this unbeatable power and they can just do whatever they want.
299
00:18:59.910 --> 00:19:02.349
And that's not the case. The Mossad is, I mean
300
00:19:02.390 --> 00:19:06.759
the Mossad, the Mossad is the CIA's little weaker brother.
301
00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:10.519
And if you're worried about the Mossad and you're not
302
00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:16.589
paying attention to the CIA, you're missing the plot. So,
303
00:19:16.630 --> 00:19:18.849
of course, there was the blackmail aspect of what he
304
00:19:18.890 --> 00:19:21.259
was doing in terms of the honey trap and getting
305
00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:23.460
his footage of people that he could use as leverage.
306
00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:26.299
At the same time, something that a lot of people
307
00:19:26.339 --> 00:19:30.789
haven't really explored is how he cultivated relationships within science
308
00:19:31.109 --> 00:19:34.069
and technology. That's something I have always talked about from
309
00:19:34.089 --> 00:19:38.569
the very beginning. There's a reason he chose Zorro Ranch, folks.
310
00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:43.200
Santa Fe Institute's right there. You have Los Alamitos down there.
311
00:19:43.220 --> 00:19:45.680
You have a lot of stuff going on and a
312
00:19:46.130 --> 00:19:49.230
lot of access to scientists who are working on all
313
00:19:49.289 --> 00:19:53.180
kinds of crazy stuff. projects. We get really deep into
314
00:19:53.220 --> 00:19:55.619
that in the book and to how he was meeting
315
00:19:55.660 --> 00:20:00.480
with and extracting really sensitive information from scientists and eminent
316
00:20:00.579 --> 00:20:04.910
theorists and things like that. That material, probably even more
317
00:20:04.970 --> 00:20:07.809
so than the blackmail material, is what would really be
318
00:20:07.869 --> 00:20:11.589
of interest to foreign powers such as Israel. Absolutely. If
319
00:20:11.650 --> 00:20:18.190
you can get the science secrets, technology secrets from insert
320
00:20:18.230 --> 00:20:21.670
country here, insert project here, that stuff is worth so
321
00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:25.759
much money. How much do you think America or Russia
322
00:20:25.779 --> 00:20:28.039
would have paid for nuclear secrets back in the day?
323
00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:35.460
Ghislaine Maxwell has previously denied any wrongdoing. Sun Online reached
324
00:20:35.559 --> 00:20:39.109
out to her representatives for Maxwell. Representatives for the Israeli
325
00:20:39.150 --> 00:20:44.130
government did not respond to requests for comment. All right, folks. Well,
326
00:20:44.150 --> 00:20:46.269
there you have it. I mean, look, really, it comes
327
00:20:46.309 --> 00:20:48.730
down to what do you believe? Do you think Jeffrey
328
00:20:48.809 --> 00:20:52.150
Epstein and Glenn Maxwell were working as assets in the
329
00:20:52.190 --> 00:20:56.309
intelligence community? Or were they just these sick people who
330
00:20:56.369 --> 00:21:00.039
devised this plan in this plot all because Jeffrey Epstein
331
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:04.140
had proclivities and he needed to, you know, chase his
332
00:21:04.220 --> 00:21:08.920
disgusting desires? For me, it makes a lot more sense
333
00:21:09.099 --> 00:21:11.900
that he was a sick bastard who was doing all
334
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:15.000
of that, you know, chasing his desires and his disgusting wants.
335
00:21:15.619 --> 00:21:19.470
But when you look at everything else, it's rather obvious
336
00:21:19.529 --> 00:21:26.130
to me, anyway, that Maxwell and Epstein were both intelligence assets.
337
00:21:27.269 --> 00:21:29.029
All right, folks, that's going to do it for this
338
00:21:29.069 --> 00:21:33.529
morning's episode. Context episodes most certainly on their way, and
339
00:21:33.730 --> 00:21:35.970
I will be back later on and we'll see where
340
00:21:35.990 --> 00:21:38.480
we're at. If you'd like to contact me, you can
341
00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:47.380
do that at bobbycapucci at protonmail.com. That's B-O-B-B-Y-C-A-P-U-C-C-I at protonmail.com.
342
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:54.259
You can also find me on Twitter at B-O-B-B-Y underscore C-A-P-U-C-C-I.
343
00:21:55.059 --> 00:21:57.119
The link that we discussed can be found in the
344
00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:00.609
description box. All right, folks, have a great morning, and
345
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:04.109
I will talk to you all later on. What's up, everyone,
346
00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:08.019
and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. One of the
347
00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:12.440
biggest issues when we're talking about travesties of justice within
348
00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:16.799
the world of Jeffrey Epstein is most certainly the plea deal.
349
00:22:18.220 --> 00:22:21.480
How he was able to acquire that plea deal has
350
00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:25.900
been the source of much debate and of much contention.
351
00:22:26.579 --> 00:22:30.079
But the fact is, he received that plea deal. And
352
00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:33.289
that deal, well, there is no other deal like it.
353
00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:38.450
Nobody else ever has gotten a deal like Jeffrey Epstein.
354
00:22:38.750 --> 00:22:41.650
So ask yourselves, how is it that he is worthy
355
00:22:41.990 --> 00:22:47.730
of getting such a deal? What makes him so special? Well,
356
00:22:48.170 --> 00:22:50.039
when you're hanging out with the people he was hanging
357
00:22:50.099 --> 00:22:54.440
out with, and you're breaking bread with some of the
358
00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:59.779
most powerful and influential people in the world, you end
359
00:22:59.940 --> 00:23:05.829
up getting a deal that nobody else would ever, ever get.
360
00:23:06.589 --> 00:23:10.430
And that's certainly what happened when Epstein scored this sweetheart
361
00:23:10.470 --> 00:23:15.380
deal down in Florida. Today, we're going to read an
362
00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:21.299
article from Noreen Marcus over at thefloridabulldog.org talking about how
363
00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:25.000
this is a cushy deal and how it's the only
364
00:23:25.099 --> 00:23:30.019
one of its kind in South Florida ever. So, Let's
365
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:34.569
get into this article, and let's see what Noreen Marcus
366
00:23:34.930 --> 00:23:40.009
has to say. Headline. Jeffrey Epstein's cushy federal deal was
367
00:23:40.049 --> 00:23:42.910
the only one of its kind in South Florida for
368
00:23:43.009 --> 00:23:47.730
at least three decades. And ever, right? When you look
369
00:23:47.829 --> 00:23:49.650
at it, there was no one who ever got a
370
00:23:49.670 --> 00:23:56.700
deal like this. But somehow, this disgusting, gross, child-molesting son
371
00:23:56.740 --> 00:24:00.490
of a bitch comes out with... The sweetest deal in
372
00:24:00.509 --> 00:24:06.240
the history of sweet deals. Now remember how many larger-than-life
373
00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:08.859
criminals have been down in Florida. Had all kinds of
374
00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:13.569
mob guys, drug narco professionals, you name it. And none
375
00:24:13.609 --> 00:24:17.549
of them caught deals like this. What makes Epstein so special?
376
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:22.220
The sickly sweet deal that lawyers for serial sex offender
377
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:27.130
Jeffrey Epstein worked out with South Florida federal prosecutors veered
378
00:24:27.230 --> 00:24:30.369
so far off the beaten path, it blazed a path
379
00:24:30.730 --> 00:24:34.670
of its own. There is no doubt about that. This
380
00:24:34.750 --> 00:24:37.609
is going to be studied in law classes and in
381
00:24:37.630 --> 00:24:41.309
the law profession for years to come. It's going to
382
00:24:41.349 --> 00:24:44.289
be a case study in not how to handle yourself.
383
00:24:45.549 --> 00:24:47.430
This is a deal that should have never been signed
384
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:50.710
off on. And say it was Acosta, right? Oh, it
385
00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:53.859
was all Acosta's fault. Then where was his boss to
386
00:24:53.900 --> 00:24:55.819
come in and say, look, you can't do this. This
387
00:24:55.839 --> 00:25:00.259
deal's terrible, my friend. There was nobody to step in
388
00:25:00.299 --> 00:25:02.700
and do that. You know why? Because those on high,
389
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:08.349
Acosta's bosses, they wanted this deal to get done. Over
390
00:25:08.380 --> 00:25:14.210
the last 29 years, three non-prosecution agreements, NPAs, the kind
391
00:25:14.349 --> 00:25:17.210
of deal Epstein got, went to big companies in the
392
00:25:17.289 --> 00:25:21.269
Southern District of Florida, according to a list compiled by
393
00:25:21.309 --> 00:25:25.980
the University of Virginia and Duke Law Schools. So only
394
00:25:26.019 --> 00:25:30.220
to a company, only to companies, not to personal individuals,
395
00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:34.480
and certainly not to unnamed individuals. How the hell do
396
00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:38.910
you even get that part, that provision put in? to
397
00:25:38.950 --> 00:25:43.529
a contract like this, to a non-prosecution agreement. You would
398
00:25:43.549 --> 00:25:45.829
literally have to be using the Jedi mind trick like
399
00:25:45.890 --> 00:25:52.150
Ben Kenobi. But since no company executive was accused of
400
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:56.539
anything close to Epstein's level of depravity, his deal appears
401
00:25:56.599 --> 00:26:00.650
to be one of a kind. His informal criminal enterprise
402
00:26:00.690 --> 00:26:04.130
that preyed upon teenage girls had no name to include
403
00:26:04.170 --> 00:26:08.170
in the law school's corporate prosecution registry. Oh, that's easy.
404
00:26:08.569 --> 00:26:12.950
Jeffrey Epstein's criminal enterprise. We can just call it that, right?
405
00:26:13.349 --> 00:26:15.009
Or if you want, we can go a step further.
406
00:26:15.230 --> 00:26:18.329
The Epstein crime family. How about that? We love to
407
00:26:18.369 --> 00:26:21.730
slap monikers on people and call them crime families, right? Well,
408
00:26:22.069 --> 00:26:25.869
why not call these guys the same thing? Because that's
409
00:26:25.890 --> 00:26:28.710
what they were. They were facilitating all sorts of crimes.
410
00:26:29.529 --> 00:26:38.589
Money laundering. Human trafficking. Wire fraud. Threats. Solicitation. You name it,
411
00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:44.430
these people were into it. Out of 190 Southern District
412
00:26:44.509 --> 00:26:49.569
federal cases that were resolved before trial from 1992 to
413
00:26:49.869 --> 00:26:54.950
this year, the list shows 86% resulted in pleas. Not
414
00:26:55.009 --> 00:27:00.609
including the Epstein affair, only three of the cases, or 1.6%,
415
00:27:00.670 --> 00:27:06.119
ended with non-prosecution agreements. Now look, very rarely does the
416
00:27:06.180 --> 00:27:10.240
federal government give out a non-prosecution agreement when they have
417
00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:14.309
you bent over a barrel. They love to get their convictions,
418
00:27:14.349 --> 00:27:18.990
don't they, in federal court? And that, you see it here.
419
00:27:18.990 --> 00:27:22.950
86% resulted in plea deals. 86%, 8 out of 10
420
00:27:22.950 --> 00:27:25.539
people said, I can't beat the federal government at trial,
421
00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:29.359
so I'm just going to plead out. Not Epstein. He
422
00:27:29.380 --> 00:27:35.960
gets himself a nice non-prosecution agreement. That covers him, his co-conspirators,
423
00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:40.289
the core four, and any unnamed co-conspirators as well. Now,
424
00:27:40.329 --> 00:27:44.109
however the hell they whip that one up, I'll need
425
00:27:44.150 --> 00:27:47.450
it explained to me how the federal government and the
426
00:27:47.490 --> 00:27:53.279
state government signed off on it. They are rarer than
427
00:27:53.339 --> 00:27:56.839
hen's teeth, and hens have no teeth, said criminal defense
428
00:27:56.890 --> 00:28:01.319
lawyer Joel Hirshhorn during a 53-year career. He has yet
429
00:28:01.359 --> 00:28:05.279
to negotiate a single one. Think about that, folks, okay?
430
00:28:05.640 --> 00:28:08.579
Do you really think Mr. Hirshhorn here is not a
431
00:28:08.599 --> 00:28:11.460
good lawyer? That he can't, you know, he doesn't know
432
00:28:11.500 --> 00:28:15.569
his way around a courtroom? And on the flip side,
433
00:28:15.589 --> 00:28:18.769
you think Dershowitz is that good in the courtroom? Or
434
00:28:18.829 --> 00:28:23.259
left court? Or Lefkowitz? Of course they aren't. You think
435
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:25.859
it's just happened to be a coincidence that they had
436
00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:28.900
all these guys from Kirkland and Ellis working on that
437
00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:33.680
law team? Guys like Ken Starr with extreme political reach?
438
00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:36.880
Because that's what you're paying for. If you have the
439
00:28:36.940 --> 00:28:40.569
right amount of money, you're paying for influence. Whereas me
440
00:28:40.589 --> 00:28:42.890
or you? We're just looking to get a lawyer and
441
00:28:42.930 --> 00:28:45.130
we hope we get a plea deal that doesn't send
442
00:28:45.190 --> 00:28:49.029
us to prison for the rest of our lives. A
443
00:28:49.109 --> 00:28:53.170
special deal for Jeffrey Epstein alone. The three companies on
444
00:28:53.210 --> 00:28:57.430
the Southern District's NPA list are Wachovia, now Wells Fargo,
445
00:28:57.750 --> 00:29:02.250
accused of antitrust, Republic Metals Corporation, accused of money laundering,
446
00:29:02.650 --> 00:29:07.250
and Baton Holdings, accused of securities fraud. The deals all
447
00:29:07.309 --> 00:29:11.309
followed some combination of hefty fines, long prison sentences for
448
00:29:11.380 --> 00:29:16.900
company executives, or cooperation with other probes. And that is
449
00:29:17.019 --> 00:29:19.980
the rub, right? We know that Epstein was an informer.
450
00:29:20.059 --> 00:29:22.380
We know he was working for the government. And all
451
00:29:22.420 --> 00:29:25.000
these people that want to act like he wasn't explain
452
00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:28.259
to me how he always got off whenever he got
453
00:29:28.299 --> 00:29:31.519
caught doing something wrong. I call it the Whitey Bulger effect.
454
00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:36.119
And we see it with Epstein time and time again.
455
00:29:38.509 --> 00:29:41.470
but a cushy deal like the late... Epstein's is virtually
456
00:29:41.769 --> 00:29:45.599
unheard of. The use of an MPA against an individual
457
00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:49.900
is very rare, said Miami trial lawyer Marcos Jimenez, who
458
00:29:49.940 --> 00:29:55.500
was the U.S. attorney in South Florida from 2002 to 2005.
459
00:29:55.500 --> 00:29:57.339
Sounds like a guy who would know what he's talking about.
460
00:29:59.049 --> 00:30:02.369
But nah, this is just, this is your everyday behavior.
461
00:30:03.009 --> 00:30:06.630
And that's why it's laughable that the appeals court would
462
00:30:06.650 --> 00:30:09.920
look at this and just shrug their shoulders and be like, nah,
463
00:30:09.960 --> 00:30:14.220
you know, we're just going to let this stand. It's
464
00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:21.210
an abomination. Jimenez told the Florida Bulldog he doesn't remember
465
00:30:21.289 --> 00:30:24.990
authorizing any kind of NPA. The law school's list and
466
00:30:25.029 --> 00:30:55.039
media reports confirm his recollection. So... Who's the one that's
467
00:30:55.079 --> 00:30:57.900
bullshitting you folks? The people that want you to believe
468
00:30:58.180 --> 00:31:01.369
that this is just a common everyday occurrence that criminals
469
00:31:01.410 --> 00:31:05.269
get deals like this? Or are you going to believe
470
00:31:05.309 --> 00:31:07.309
the actual facts that are in front of your face?
471
00:31:07.950 --> 00:31:10.150
Because the official narrative that they want you to suck
472
00:31:10.190 --> 00:31:18.519
down is just filled and riddled with holes. Protecting mystery co-conspirators.
473
00:31:19.119 --> 00:31:23.460
Jeffrey Epstein's off-the-charts pact let him avoid federal charges that
474
00:31:23.500 --> 00:31:28.769
carry serious prison time. Prosecutors prepared, but never filed, a
475
00:31:28.789 --> 00:31:33.930
53-page indictment describing his criminal activities with underage girls that
476
00:31:33.970 --> 00:31:36.950
could have put Epstein away for life. And we all
477
00:31:36.990 --> 00:31:39.250
know how that ended up. Ah, we'll punt it down
478
00:31:39.289 --> 00:31:45.230
to state. He'll get the easier, softer charges. Unlike standard NPAs,
479
00:31:45.569 --> 00:31:51.589
his carefully crafted version even protected any potential co-conspirators, prompting
480
00:31:51.609 --> 00:31:56.410
speculation about former presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, Britain's
481
00:31:56.490 --> 00:32:02.039
Prince Andrew, and other powerful men in Epstein's social circle. Well,
482
00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:06.279
we see that Andrew tried to use this clause, and
483
00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:08.140
it didn't work out for him in New York. He
484
00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:12.859
got sued anyway. But... criminally speaking, this is a big
485
00:32:12.940 --> 00:32:18.109
roadblock from justice being served in this case. None of
486
00:32:18.140 --> 00:32:22.490
them has been charged in connection with Epstein. Only his ex-girlfriend, co-conspirator,
487
00:32:23.049 --> 00:32:27.970
fellow child abuser, general all-around scuzzbag and bipedal serpent, Ghislaine Maxwell,
488
00:32:28.029 --> 00:32:31.549
is being prosecuted in New York for allegedly procuring young
489
00:32:31.609 --> 00:32:34.769
girls for him to abuse. Now we all know that
490
00:32:34.970 --> 00:32:39.509
it's not prosecuted anymore. She has been convicted. Gregory had
491
00:32:39.569 --> 00:32:42.759
nothing to do with the Epstein case and wouldn't speculate
492
00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:47.700
about possible accomplices, but said he's amazed and astounded by
493
00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:53.259
the NPA clause granting immunity to hypothetical co-conspirators. Again, you
494
00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:55.589
really think that Acosta has the power to sign off
495
00:32:55.650 --> 00:32:58.170
on something like this when you hear from all of
496
00:32:58.230 --> 00:33:01.869
these top-notch prosecutors and people who've worked in the business
497
00:33:01.890 --> 00:33:09.089
that this is unheard of? Jeffrey Epstein from Mansion to
498
00:33:09.130 --> 00:33:11.970
Jail Suicide. I have never heard of a case where
499
00:33:11.990 --> 00:33:15.799
an NPA extended to people who haven't been investigated or
500
00:33:15.859 --> 00:33:19.299
charged yet, Gregory said. It just doesn't make sense. If
501
00:33:19.339 --> 00:33:22.119
you were getting cooperation from someone who would provide you
502
00:33:22.140 --> 00:33:24.319
with leads to take a case to a much higher
503
00:33:24.779 --> 00:33:28.519
or significant person or was opening up the case to
504
00:33:28.579 --> 00:33:32.119
a much broader range of criminal activity, that might lead
505
00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:35.200
to this kind of agreement, he said. Well, we know
506
00:33:35.259 --> 00:33:39.000
it didn't. This all happened because Epstein and his lawyers
507
00:33:39.380 --> 00:33:43.220
had friends on high. The Justice Department was littered with
508
00:33:43.319 --> 00:33:47.059
creatures who were friendly with Dershowitz and Ken Starr and
509
00:33:47.079 --> 00:33:52.569
the rest of these guys. But how could an unknown
510
00:33:52.630 --> 00:33:58.170
co-conspirator barter for immunity from prosecution? Yet, in exchange for
511
00:33:59.150 --> 00:34:04.630
extraordinary largesse from the feds, Epstein pleaded guilty to two
512
00:34:04.690 --> 00:34:09.829
low-level state prostitution offenses and funded a victim's compensation pool.
513
00:34:10.349 --> 00:34:13.050
The government shut down a grand jury that might have
514
00:34:13.179 --> 00:34:17.380
outed others in his sex ring. Jeffrey Epstein got an
515
00:34:17.400 --> 00:34:21.400
18-month sentence but served a little over a year, mostly
516
00:34:21.460 --> 00:34:25.059
working on work release near his Palm Beach estate. Ten
517
00:34:25.099 --> 00:34:29.469
years later, the wealthy financier, pedophile, died in a Manhattan
518
00:34:29.489 --> 00:34:33.110
jail cell in an apparent suicide while awaiting trial for
519
00:34:33.150 --> 00:34:38.500
sex trafficking in New York. Acosta's poor judgment cost him. Look,
520
00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:41.019
for me, again, I don't buy that for a second.
521
00:34:41.340 --> 00:34:44.900
His cowardice cost him. If my boss ever came to
522
00:34:44.940 --> 00:34:47.619
me with this kind of proposal and I had all
523
00:34:47.639 --> 00:34:50.800
of these girls that I had been investigating to see
524
00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:53.219
if their claims were true and I had this evidence
525
00:34:53.260 --> 00:34:56.179
that it was, zero chance that I'd be okay with this.
526
00:34:56.389 --> 00:34:59.329
I'd raise such a stink that I'd end up getting
527
00:34:59.409 --> 00:35:02.730
fired and all of it because there's some things you can,
528
00:35:02.809 --> 00:35:05.530
you know, look the other way. Not something like this.
529
00:35:07.460 --> 00:35:11.239
Signing off on the notorious 2007 Epstein deal came to
530
00:35:11.300 --> 00:35:16.929
haunt Alex Acosta, the U.S. attorney, after Jimenez. Following publication
531
00:35:16.969 --> 00:35:19.889
of a Miami Herald series about the Epstein case that
532
00:35:19.929 --> 00:35:24.769
threw renewed light on his NPA, then-Labor Secretary Acosta resigned
533
00:35:24.809 --> 00:35:29.719
in 2019. Very convenient fall guy, huh? They love their
534
00:35:29.760 --> 00:35:34.510
low-hanging fruit. Jimenez said he agrees completely with a finding
535
00:35:34.570 --> 00:35:38.610
by DOJ regulators that the NPA was a flawed mechanism
536
00:35:38.889 --> 00:35:42.380
for satisfying the federal interest that caused the government to
537
00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:46.599
open up the Epstein investigation in the first place. The
538
00:35:46.659 --> 00:35:50.480
finding appeared in a November 2020 report by the Department's
539
00:35:50.559 --> 00:35:56.079
Office of Professional Responsibility. It concluded Acosta showed poor judgment
540
00:35:56.400 --> 00:36:00.619
when he approved the Epstein NPA, but didn't violate professional norms,
541
00:36:01.019 --> 00:36:04.460
largely because none apply. And you know, it's convenient, right?
542
00:36:04.739 --> 00:36:07.619
That the emails during this whole entire time of Acosta
543
00:36:07.780 --> 00:36:11.349
to his superiors, oh, they just went missing, right? Just
544
00:36:11.409 --> 00:36:14.750
a very convenient fact for the other people who are
545
00:36:14.809 --> 00:36:20.230
involved in the decision-making here. Fall guy, Acosta, right next
546
00:36:20.250 --> 00:36:28.219
to his name, pencil in, fall guy. Jimenez expressed reluctance
547
00:36:28.260 --> 00:36:31.900
to criticize his successor. Still, he said he agrees that
548
00:36:31.940 --> 00:36:38.539
Acosta exercised faulty judgment. NPAs robs victims of rights. Earlier
549
00:36:38.579 --> 00:36:42.489
this month, a discredited deal resurfaced when a federal appeals
550
00:36:42.530 --> 00:36:46.929
court ruled against Courtney Wilde, who says Jeffrey Epstein began
551
00:36:46.969 --> 00:36:51.190
molesting her when she was 15. The U.S. Crime Victims
552
00:36:51.250 --> 00:36:55.659
Rights Act says survivors must be notified about... about and
553
00:36:55.719 --> 00:37:01.690
participate in negotiations between prosecutors and defendants. But prosecutors hid
554
00:37:01.730 --> 00:37:06.269
the Epstein NPA document for several months until he pleaded guilty,
555
00:37:06.630 --> 00:37:12.230
avoiding any objections to its lenient terms. Imagine these guys
556
00:37:12.510 --> 00:37:15.449
hid this document when they're not allowed to do that
557
00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:20.900
by law. And still, no repercussions. Nobody held responsible and
558
00:37:20.940 --> 00:37:23.920
the deal is allowed to stand. Now you tell me
559
00:37:23.980 --> 00:37:29.699
where the equitable justice is. But the 11th Circuit Court
560
00:37:29.739 --> 00:37:33.320
said the law supports victims only after charges are filed.
561
00:37:33.860 --> 00:37:37.230
Since Acosta agreed to the NPA and no charges were
562
00:37:37.329 --> 00:37:41.449
ever filed in that case against Epstein, unfortunately, that was that.
563
00:37:42.250 --> 00:37:45.340
allowing judges to protect victims' rights earlier in the process
564
00:37:45.659 --> 00:37:49.659
would intrude on the prosecutor's discretion, the majority ruled in
565
00:37:49.699 --> 00:37:53.690
an opinion published on April 15th. The courts would be
566
00:37:53.750 --> 00:37:58.110
empowered to issue injunctions requiring consultation with victims, to name
567
00:37:58.159 --> 00:38:03.829
just a few examples. before law enforcement raids, warrant applications, arrests,
568
00:38:04.170 --> 00:38:08.769
witness interviews, lineups, and interrogations, Judge Kevin Newsom wrote for
569
00:38:08.789 --> 00:38:12.269
the majority. Oh, give me a break, Judge Kevin Newsom.
570
00:38:13.329 --> 00:38:15.130
Wasn't he the same guy that was hanging out with
571
00:38:15.190 --> 00:38:19.119
Christian Everdell? Yeah, I believe so. Two dudes, yeah, just
572
00:38:19.159 --> 00:38:23.920
two guys hanging out. No conflict of interest. Wait, what,
573
00:38:23.940 --> 00:38:26.019
they both went to Harvard together? Come on, still no
574
00:38:26.059 --> 00:38:32.610
conflict of interest, right? Right? Dissenters call the deal travesty.
575
00:38:33.219 --> 00:38:36.559
The 704 decision from the full U.S. Court of Appeals
576
00:38:36.599 --> 00:38:41.900
for the 11th Circuit may end Wilde's 13-year pursuit of justice,
577
00:38:42.239 --> 00:38:45.800
though her lawyers plan to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
578
00:38:46.139 --> 00:38:51.769
We know that failed, unfortunately. Four 11th Circuit court judges dissented.
579
00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:56.590
Those judges, all women, skewered the Epstein NPA and assailed
580
00:38:56.630 --> 00:39:00.989
the dramatic increase in all kinds of pre-indictment agreements over
581
00:39:01.210 --> 00:39:05.989
the last 15 years. Not one single dude, not one
582
00:39:06.090 --> 00:39:12.329
single man of those lawyers, I mean judges, dissented. What
583
00:39:12.349 --> 00:39:14.230
an embarrassment. You mean to tell me not one of
584
00:39:14.269 --> 00:39:17.969
you guys thought what happened here was disgusting? Maybe you
585
00:39:17.989 --> 00:39:21.429
need to do more research. Maybe you need better clerks.
586
00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:27.619
The majority's ruling leaves federal prosecutors free to engage in
587
00:39:27.659 --> 00:39:31.099
the secret plea deals and deception. that resulted in the
588
00:39:31.139 --> 00:39:35.739
travesty here, Judge Frank May's Hall wrote. It also exasperates
589
00:39:35.780 --> 00:39:40.449
disparities between wealthy defendants and those who cannot afford to
590
00:39:40.610 --> 00:39:46.050
hire well-connected and experienced attorneys to negotiate favorable deals for them,
591
00:39:46.110 --> 00:39:51.309
she wrote. So, will there be another Epstein-like travesty? I
592
00:39:51.329 --> 00:39:54.469
would hope that it never happens again, and I don't
593
00:39:54.550 --> 00:39:58.610
think that it will, Jimenez said. Folks, look, how much
594
00:39:58.670 --> 00:40:01.510
more do we have to explain it? This was a
595
00:40:01.690 --> 00:40:07.139
travesty of epic proportions, and your courts, at every step
596
00:40:07.219 --> 00:40:12.380
along the way, have sided with Epstein, his friends, and
597
00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:18.000
this disgusting-ass deal. I'll leave you with that to think
598
00:40:18.059 --> 00:40:21.119
about for a little while. And as for me, well,
599
00:40:21.619 --> 00:40:24.679
