1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,879
Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the

2
00:00:02,919 --> 00:00:07,480
Epstein Chronicles. Let's all give a standing ovation, shall we,

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,279
because once again the Department of Justice has managed to

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,759
take what should have been a slammed dunk and turn

5
00:00:13,839 --> 00:00:18,719
it into a circus picture. It Glaine Maxwell, convicted predator

6
00:00:18,879 --> 00:00:22,120
and professional liar, strolling into a proper session with a

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,600
swagger of someone who knows she can spit in the

8
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,679
government's face and walk out better off than when she

9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,440
walked in. And they're waiting across the table like an

10
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,880
eager altar boy sits Deputy Director Todd Baby Billy Blanche,

11
00:00:36,039 --> 00:00:39,520
our supposed guardian of Justice, ready to lap up every

12
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,640
lie she feeds them like it's communion bred. And what

13
00:00:43,679 --> 00:00:47,200
do we get from this grand performance? Do we get intelligence?

14
00:00:47,359 --> 00:00:50,399
Do we get names, leads or actionable evidence that could

15
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:54,119
dismantle Epstein's rotten empire? Of course not what we get

16
00:00:54,399 --> 00:00:58,320
are lies. Mountains of them. Lie so obvious that the

17
00:00:58,399 --> 00:01:02,119
newly released emails make it impossible to deny that she

18
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,239
perjured herself over and over again. She didn't just misremember,

19
00:01:06,519 --> 00:01:09,079
she didn't just fudge a detail or two. She lied

20
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,439
with purpose, with malice, with that trademark Maxwell arrogance, and

21
00:01:13,519 --> 00:01:16,879
instead of punishing her, instead of adding years to her sentence,

22
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:22,480
the DOJ rewarded her with cushier accommodations no less, because

23
00:01:22,519 --> 00:01:25,519
apparently perjury in America isn't a crime if your name

24
00:01:25,599 --> 00:01:29,400
is Maxwell, That shit's a perk. This is what passes

25
00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:34,519
for justice now. Survivors defamed, the public mocked, and predators coddled.

26
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,200
Maxwell didn't just make a mockery of the survivors. She

27
00:01:38,239 --> 00:01:40,480
didn't just make a mockery of the public. She made

28
00:01:40,519 --> 00:01:44,239
a mockery of the Department of Justice itself. And Blanche

29
00:01:44,359 --> 00:01:47,239
bless his heart, sat there and let her do it.

30
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,400
The newly released emails have blown the roof off whatever

31
00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:56,400
flimsy cover Glenn Maxwell had left. These weren't ambiguous notes

32
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,879
that could be massaged by a pr team or a

33
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:04,439
minor contradiction her attorneys could spin as simple misunderstandings. These

34
00:02:04,439 --> 00:02:08,120
were smoking guns in disputable evidence that she lied in

35
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:13,280
her profer session, lied brazenly, with confidence, with arrogance, and

36
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,840
she did it in the one place you're not supposed

37
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,960
to even think about lying, while sitting across from the

38
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,560
deputy director of the DOJ, Todd Baby Billy Blanche. Now

39
00:02:24,599 --> 00:02:26,159
this isn't the kind to slip up you see in

40
00:02:26,199 --> 00:02:30,639
a witness fumbling dates or details. This was perjury, calculated

41
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,159
and deliberate. And the DOJ, instead of doing what any

42
00:02:34,199 --> 00:02:37,639
real law enforcement agency would do, slammer with charges and

43
00:02:37,759 --> 00:02:41,080
march her back into court, sat there with their arms folded,

44
00:02:41,199 --> 00:02:44,199
their heads nodding like clueless extras in a bad play.

45
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,120
Instead of calling perjury what it is, instead of taking

46
00:02:48,159 --> 00:02:50,960
the mountain of evidence and treating it as the insult

47
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,080
to justice it truly was, the DOJ acted as though

48
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,080
Maxwell had gifted them the Rosetta stone of Epstein's network.

49
00:02:59,039 --> 00:03:02,159
They elevated her life to the level of intelligence, as

50
00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:05,479
though her words carried the weight of law. But let's

51
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,560
get one thing straight. She didn't provide a single piece

52
00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:12,719
of actionable intelligence, not one name, not one document, not

53
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,080
one breadcrumb that could lead to an arrest, zero zilch,

54
00:03:16,439 --> 00:03:21,199
nada ungats. What she did provide was a meticulously rehearsed

55
00:03:21,199 --> 00:03:23,680
script a lies as if she had been training for

56
00:03:23,719 --> 00:03:27,120
the performance her whole life, and the DOJ let her

57
00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:31,360
shovel that manure directly into their records, smiling as if

58
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:36,159
she had delivered gold. The very emails that have now surfaced,

59
00:03:36,199 --> 00:03:39,759
black and white, undeniable proof, show you just how deep

60
00:03:40,039 --> 00:03:43,240
this whole entire cover up runs. These aren't just whispers

61
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,120
or anonymous sources. These are her own words, clashing directly

62
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,000
with what she told the DOJ in that room, clear contradictions,

63
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,360
bold as daylight, impossible to explain away. And yet Blanche,

64
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,120
the man supposedly guarding the sanctity of the justice process,

65
00:03:59,639 --> 00:04:02,400
sat cross from her and treated every lie as if

66
00:04:02,439 --> 00:04:06,319
it were holy writ The Department of Justice didn't interrogate her,

67
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,919
They didn't confront her, they didn't stop her mid lie.

68
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,599
They became her audience, her enablers, her willing accomplices in

69
00:04:13,639 --> 00:04:17,560
this disgusting parody of justice. And then there's David Marcus,

70
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,240
Maxwell's attorney. You could almost hear the Champagne courts popping

71
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,399
in his office. His client waltzed into what should have

72
00:04:24,399 --> 00:04:27,120
been the most dangerous room of her life, lied with

73
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,439
abandoned smeared her victims, and walked out with a more

74
00:04:30,439 --> 00:04:34,120
comfortable prison placement. We're not talking about just a legal

75
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,319
win here. This was a jackpot. Marcus did not maneuver

76
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,319
the DOJ. He didn't expose weakness in their case. He

77
00:04:41,319 --> 00:04:45,439
didn't do anything extraordinary. The extraordinary act was Blanche and

78
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,560
his DJ colleagues, who handed Marcus the victory on a

79
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,560
silver platter. If this is what passes for justice, defense

80
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:57,360
attorneys everywhere are popping popcorn and taking notes. But the

81
00:04:57,399 --> 00:05:00,800
real sickness of this entire charade was how Maxwell used

82
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,160
her time in that room. She didn't use it to

83
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:06,879
shed light on Epstein's financial network, his political ties, or

84
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,000
the enablers who greased the gears of his machine. No,

85
00:05:10,439 --> 00:05:13,519
she used it to defame the very survivors who had

86
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,639
already endured hell at her hands, survivors who had fought

87
00:05:17,639 --> 00:05:20,240
for years just to be heard, only to be re

88
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,240
traumatized by hearing. Maxwell weaponized the DOJ itself as a

89
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,680
platform to smear them once again. Think about that. The

90
00:05:28,759 --> 00:05:32,759
government agency tasked with defending these women sat silently while

91
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,720
Maxwell called them liars. That's not a mistake, that's complicity.

92
00:05:36,959 --> 00:05:41,680
That's cruelty institutionalized, and instead of punishing her for it,

93
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,759
the DOJ rewarded her. Let's make it clear if an

94
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,959
average defendant in a fraud case, a drug case, or

95
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,839
even a petty larceny case, walked into our profit and lied,

96
00:05:51,639 --> 00:05:54,360
they'd be slapped with perjury charges so fast their head

97
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,560
would spin, the deal would be voided, their sentence extended,

98
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,079
and the message would be clear, lie to us, and

99
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,279
you'll pay the price. But Maxwell, she didn't get punished.

100
00:06:04,399 --> 00:06:08,680
She got promoted to a cushier prison assignment, to relative comfort,

101
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,920
to the kind of treatment that makes a mockery of

102
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,000
the very concept of equal justice under law. And let

103
00:06:14,079 --> 00:06:17,120
us not mince words about Blanche's role in all of this.

104
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,319
As Deputy director of the DOJ, his job is to

105
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,519
preserve the integrity of the system. His job is to

106
00:06:23,639 --> 00:06:28,040
ensure that justice has teeth, that lies have consequences, that

107
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:33,120
predators don't walk into proffers and laugh in the government's face. Instead,

108
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,000
he sat there like a man watching a televangelist hawk

109
00:06:36,079 --> 00:06:39,879
Miracle Water, nodding along as if Maxwell's lies were gospel.

110
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,879
Blanche is in the guardian of justice in the room.

111
00:06:43,079 --> 00:06:46,759
He was Maxwell's enabler, her audience, her silent partner in crime.

112
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,879
If the DOJ still had any shred of credibility, Blanche

113
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,240
would be packing his desk this morning. And that's what

114
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,839
makes the entire fiasco so disgusting. The DOJ doesn't just

115
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,839
look weak. Weakness would be forgivable if they had at

116
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:06,920
least tried, But no, they looked, they compromised. They look bought,

117
00:07:06,959 --> 00:07:09,839
bent and owned. They look like an institution that has

118
00:07:09,879 --> 00:07:14,680
been so thoroughly infiltrated by cowardice or worse, complicity, that

119
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,040
they can no longer tell. The difference between truth and performance,

120
00:07:18,839 --> 00:07:21,360
and the message it sends to the public is devastating.

121
00:07:21,639 --> 00:07:25,160
If you're rich, connected, and audacious enough, you can walk

122
00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:28,759
into the Department of Justice itself and lie with impunity,

123
00:07:29,639 --> 00:07:32,279
and of course the survivors once again pay the price.

124
00:07:32,759 --> 00:07:35,879
Imagine being one of those women sitting at home, reading

125
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,160
the headlines and realizing that the very institution you trusted

126
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,959
to defend you has turned into Maxwell's stage. Imagine watching

127
00:07:43,959 --> 00:07:47,879
her perjury not only go unpunished, but being effectively endorsed

128
00:07:47,879 --> 00:07:51,879
by the DOJ. It's like being assaulted twice, once by

129
00:07:51,879 --> 00:07:55,199
Maxwell and Epstein and again by the very system that

130
00:07:55,279 --> 00:07:58,000
s where to protect you and the public. That's you

131
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,040
and me. We've been conned on a grand We were

132
00:08:01,079 --> 00:08:04,439
a promised accountability, we were a promised transparency. We were

133
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,439
told that there would be no sacred cows, no untouchables.

134
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,399
What we got instead was a magic trick where Maxwell

135
00:08:11,439 --> 00:08:14,759
turned lies into perks and Blanche acted as her assistant

136
00:08:14,759 --> 00:08:20,240
on stage. Justice wasn't served, Justice was mocked, gutted, humiliated.

137
00:08:20,839 --> 00:08:24,439
The DOJ didn't just fail, they insulted everyone who's still

138
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:29,000
believed in the possibility of fairness. And what about DJ leadership?

139
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,960
Where is the righteous fury, where the press conferences declaring

140
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,600
that perjury will not stand, Where the announcements of fresh indictments,

141
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,320
of new charges, of a system correcting its own mistakes nowhere?

142
00:08:40,879 --> 00:08:45,080
And that silence is deafening. And that silence screams complicity,

143
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,120
It screams cowardice. It screams that the DOJ would rather

144
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,799
be mocked by Maxwell than confront the ugly truths of

145
00:08:51,799 --> 00:08:56,159
her lies, that they were designed to obscure. And let's

146
00:08:56,159 --> 00:08:58,879
not pretend that that was difficult calculation for the DOJ.

147
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,600
This wasn't a call, this wasn't gray area. The emails

148
00:09:02,639 --> 00:09:06,080
make it clear she lied, She perjured herself. The law

149
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,600
is explicit about what happens when someone perjures themselves in

150
00:09:09,639 --> 00:09:13,200
a profer session. And yet the DOJ did the exact

151
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,559
opposite of what the law demands. They didn't punish her,

152
00:09:16,799 --> 00:09:20,320
They rewarded her. They showed us that in America, justice

153
00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:24,080
isn't blind, it's selective. And let's talk about those cushy

154
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,759
new accommodations, because every day Maxwell spends enjoying her reassignment

155
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,799
is another day the system screams that it doesn't care.

156
00:09:32,519 --> 00:09:35,600
She should be riding under a prison stripped of every

157
00:09:35,639 --> 00:09:39,159
perk and privilege she conned her way into. Instead, she's

158
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,759
lounging in relative comfort, no doubt, smirking at how easy

159
00:09:42,799 --> 00:09:46,799
it was to bend the DOJ to her will. Further survivors,

160
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,159
we're not talking about just another betrayal. It's a cruel joke.

161
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,919
And the tragedy of all of this is how preventable

162
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,000
this was. The DOJ had every tool it needed, the

163
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,759
whole Maxwell accountable. They had the emails, they had the

164
00:09:59,759 --> 00:10:02,679
com tradictions, they had the law on their side. All

165
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,399
they needed was the courage to act, and they chose

166
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,279
silence instead. Silence that tell survivors their pain is negotiable.

167
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,679
Silence that tells the public that perjury is fine if

168
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,600
you're rich enough. Silence that tells predators everywhere that justice

169
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,720
is a game you can win if you play dirty enough.

170
00:10:20,519 --> 00:10:24,120
It's humiliating for the Department of Justice. Blanche and his

171
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,360
team didn't just fail, they became complicit. They didn't just

172
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,840
let Maxwell off the hook. They tied the noose around

173
00:10:29,919 --> 00:10:34,240
Justice's neck and handed her the lever. Survivors once again

174
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,879
are left to pick up the pieces. The public is

175
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,720
left disillusioned, and Maxwell gets to laugh behind prison walls

176
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,399
that fuel more like country club gates. At this point,

177
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,679
the DOJ has officially become Maxwell's stage manager. They set

178
00:10:48,759 --> 00:10:51,159
up the lights, they handed her the script, They let

179
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,919
her perform uninterrupted, and then clapped at the end. And

180
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,720
now they expect the rest of us, the survivors, the public,

181
00:10:57,759 --> 00:11:01,480
the people who still naively believed in accountability, to applaud

182
00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:04,840
as well. But no one is clapping, no one is fooled.

183
00:11:05,399 --> 00:11:08,159
We see this charade for what it is, justice bent

184
00:11:08,519 --> 00:11:12,159
until it broke, and the real tragedy is that justice

185
00:11:12,159 --> 00:11:15,000
could have been served. Maxwell could have been held accountable,

186
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,320
not just for her role in Epstein's crimes, but relying

187
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,000
under oath to the DOJ itself. The survivors could have

188
00:11:22,039 --> 00:11:24,320
finally seen the scales of justice tip in their favor.

189
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,240
The public could have been reassured that no one's above

190
00:11:27,279 --> 00:11:31,080
the law. Instead, the DOJ once again chose the path

191
00:11:31,279 --> 00:11:35,279
of least resistance, caddle the liar, ignore the survivors, and

192
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,679
betray the public. So once again were left with an

193
00:11:38,759 --> 00:11:43,200
ugly reality. Maxwell lied, Blanche enabled it, the DOJ rewarded it.

194
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,399
The survivors once again were betrayed, mocked and humiliated. The

195
00:11:47,399 --> 00:11:51,960
public once again was conned, misled, and discarded, and justice

196
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,840
once again was trampled underfoot, sacrificed at the altar of

197
00:11:55,919 --> 00:11:59,960
cowardice and corruption. Because every single day that Maxwell's spent

198
00:12:00,519 --> 00:12:04,080
in cushy confinement is another reminder that justice in America

199
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,360
isn't about truth, It isn't about accountability. It isn't about

200
00:12:08,399 --> 00:12:13,039
protecting survivors. It's about protecting power, about shielding the connected,

201
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,039
about bending the rules until they snap, and until Maxwell

202
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,240
is held accountable for perjury, until Blanche is held accountable

203
00:12:20,279 --> 00:12:24,039
for enabling it, the Department of Justice will remain what

204
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,559
it has become, a hollow shell, a stage for lies,

205
00:12:27,879 --> 00:12:32,600
a mockery of its own name. All of the information
