Speaker 1: So on Friday, the DOJ released three million new Epstein files.
Three million, And while that's good, it's also six weeks
late and still not the complete set of files. Not
only was the DOJ late, which okay, I get worse,
they were sloppy, really sloppy. Dozens and dozens of photos
of the victims were released without redactions, allowing the public
to see the faces of the victims, of these children
and people on social media. They did the dojay's job
for them. Let me show you in it. It turns
around and says thread breaking. Trump's DOJ is so disgustingly
inept that they posted dozens of photographs in data set
ten of victims, both redacted and unredacted. The black redactions
of those they made and the red reactions are mine.
I made to their unredacted image is that they posted
of likely victims. Pam Bondy is putting victims at risk
while at the same time not releasing the actual information
that they are calling for. Imagine that, imagine that to
be that sloppy. Well, what the hell have they been
working on? Because for more than a year we've watched
them parade out three ring notebooks. It's already, it's all
ready to go, already to go. Now we have to
do reactions with six weeks late. But don't worry. We're
just going to do the worst possible job imaginable, now,
mind you. Meanwhile, DJ, they tried to redact the photo
of Trump in a text conversation between Jeffrey Epstein and
Steve Bannon. Though sadly for Trump, it was really easy
to recognize him. Let me show you in it. It
turns around and it shows, Yeah, there's the picture redacted,
but we certainly know who that is. And here is
seemingly the original photo. Yep. How Trump got bad at
Twitter once he ruled the medium. But read his feed
and now you can see something has gone very wrong,
mind you, Todd Blanche He was on television the other
day on Meet the Press, he told Data Besh that
the release of the three million files was not performative play.
Speaker 2: The clip wrote quote, what matters is not the release
of some subset of Epstein files, but rather the prosecution
of those who committed Haines's crimes with Epstein. When there
is at least one arrest, some justice will have been done.
If not, this is all performative nothing but as a distraction,
is the Department of Justice considering bringing any additional charges here?
Speaker 3: Well, look, I can't talk about any investigations, but I
will say the following, which is that in July, the
Department of Justice said that we had reviewed the files,
the quote Epstein files, and there was nothing in there
that allowed us to prosecute anybody. We then released over
three and a half million pieces of paper, which the
entire world can look at now and see if we
got it wrong. And so it's not performative, and I
respectfully disagree with that statement. We were ordered to do
so by Congress and then by the President of the
United States, and that's what we did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, by the way, my apologies. That was State of
the Union, not Meet the Press. And welcome back to
The Michael Cohen Show. On our continued journey to one
million subscribers. You know, we gain and then we lose.
We lost some, but that's okay because the momentum it's
on our side, because truth matters. So do me a favorite, hit, subscribe, watch, comment,
and share because this stupidity it's got to stop now.
I also, on a programming note, want to continue to
remind you that while Maya Culpa and Political Beatdown are
no longer on Midas Touch Network. The shows they're not
going anywhere. I'm working to restart them and to continue them.
So like for example, Maya Kulpa, you could still find
it anywhere that you that you get your podcasts, and
Political Beatdown will be shown on my YouTube channel at
the Michael Cohen Show. Now this weekend, Trump actually tried
to claim that the files released that they absolve him
of any crimes. Plus whilst saying that threatening to sue
Michael Wolfe and potentially the Epstein estate play the clip, you're.
Speaker 4: Pretty well they should be because it looked like this
guy Wolfe was a writer, was conspiring with Epstein to
do harm to me. And I didn't see it myself,
but I was told by some very important people that
not only does it absolve me, it's the opposite of
what people were hoping. You know, the radicleb that wolf
was a third rd R who was conspiring with Jeffrey
Epstein to hurt me politically or otherwise. And that can't
be alluded player. So we'll probably say wolf Mother and
maybe the epstay to state. I guess I don't know,
but we're gonna certainly suit. What do you mean, right, Yes,
so because he was conspiring with Wolf to do harm
to be politically, that's not a brand.
Speaker 1: No, it's not a friend. But let me also say this,
they're empty threats. Why well, first and foremost, if you're
going to sue the Epstein estate, good luck, that's already
been wiped out by all the victims and so on.
And more importantly, Jeffrey Epstein hiring not a third rate writer,
a relatively decent writer, good writer, a very good writer
in fact, in order to do his biography. And just
because you don't like the information doesn't mean that it's defamatory.
Worse than that, in order to prove that it's defamatory,
that means that the president is going to actually have
to sit and answer questions at a deposition. And I
promise you now, I'm not making any statements as to
his legality or illegality as it relates to any of
the files that were drop to. We don't know yet.
We don't know. Yes, his name is mentioned thousands of times,
but so far now one person has been able to
discern that there is a crime here. I'll go one
step further if you listen to earlier when Todd Blanche
made the statement, well, I can't talk about any of
the investigations, but well, if you can't talk about it
because to something going on, and then you make the
statement that there will be no additional files or charges
brought against anybody based upon the information released, sounds like
he's talking out of both sides of his mouth. Let
me be clear this whole thing, it's far from true.
While there are over thirty eight thousand mentions of Trump
thirty eight thousand, and I shouldn't just say Trump, It's Trump, Milania,
Mara a Lago, Don Junior, Eric Trump, and Trump family,
most of these things do not implicate Trump or any
of them of an actual crime. I happen to know
because my name is mentioned twice, once when Stacy Plaskett
was talking to Jeffrey Epstein while I was testifying before
Live before the House Oversight Committee, and the second time
had to do with my lawyer speaking to the US
Attorney over a rule thirty five be motion. Now, I
want to be clear about something. There are allegations seemingly
from the FBI's National Threat Operations Center that actually mentioned
Trump numerous times in relation to sexual abuse and harassment.
Now that all being said, Dana bash The asked Blanche
if the DOJ looked into these allegations against Trump. Wait
do you hear his comment? Play the clip.
Speaker 2: Among these new files is a list compiled by the
FBI just an August of numerous silationis and to be
really clear, unverified allegations about President Trump. Why did the
FBI create create this list last year? And have all
of these claims been investigated by the dj.
Speaker 3: So, look, it's not about President Trump, it's around It's
about a ton of people, multi multiple people that were
quote in the Epstein files. And what I think folks
will see when they review the materials we released is
that there have been hundreds of calls made to the
FBI where allegations are made by either anonymous individuals or
people who are very quickly determined to not be credible,
whether it's the nature of what they're saying or the
fact they won't provide any information or corroboration. And that's
part of the Epstein files.
Speaker 2: So go ahead, I understand that. But the fact that
you created a list, that FBI created a list about
the allegations against President Trump it is certainly noteworthy. I mean,
he's a sitting president, and the question is whether or
not the d o J. But the question is, and
I'm not saying that they're verified at all. And that's
what my question is to you. Did you look into
what you have on those lists?
Speaker 3: Yes, of course, but no. But what you're not being
fair in that question because that index, that list you're
talking about, was not just President Trump. It was all
kinds of individuals, other politicians, other quote famous people where
we wanted to understand, Okay, there were members of Congress
that were accusing us of hiding things which we're not
doing and which we haven't done, and so we wanted
to understand why and where that was coming from. And
it turns out there.
Speaker 1: Was a Oh my god, why not Dane? It just
say Tim, okay, Todd stop. Can we just answer the
question yes or no? Did you or did you not
look into the allegations that were raised against Trump? It
is a yes or a no answer forget about anybody else.
We'll get to them after. This question is just about
the sitting president of the United States, and if you
have good if you haven't, just say so.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: By the way, A connection that was found in the emails.
That's not being talked about enough. It's Jeffrey Epstein and
his relationship to Vladimir Putin. Let me show you a
few files that actually mentioned Putin. Let me show you,
for example, turns around says that the media is still
missing the biggest story in the Epstein emails. The email
shows Epstein helped Russia blackmail Donald Trump. He was advising
Putin's circle on how to control the US President. Trump
is compromised. We need to make sure everyone sees this.
And that's the email below. There's another one that turns
around and says Putin is mentioned in the Epstein files
more than one thousand times. The Putin is not in
the files, crowd, but really chill. That's from the Times
of Ukraine. A third one turns around and says Putin
wanted to meet Epstein in twenty thirteen. This is intriguing,
especially considering what Epstein said in twenty eighteen about helping
Chirkin understand Trump and being ready to do more. Russians
knew that Epstein had no morals and possessed damaging information
on powerful people. The email turns around and says, and
this is from Jeffrey Epstein to a hood Barak Barakhov
of Israel. Putin asked that I meet him in Saint
Petersburg the same time as his economic conference. I told
him no, if he wants to meet, he will need
to set aside real time and privacy. Let's see what happens.
That in and of itself is chilling. Let me show
you another one here. On eighteenth of March twenty fourteen,
the date of Vladimir Putin announced Russia's annexation of CRIMEA,
Jeffrey Epstein emailed the French banker Arian de Rothschild to
say Ukraine upheaval should provide many opportunities many What did
he mean by this? Unbelievable? It turns around and the
next one says, this is a Jeffrey Epstein email clearly
to Janglen Thurbin. I still would like to meet Putin
and talk economy. I would really appreciate your assistance. Another
one turns around and says, hi, Jeffrey, yes, I'm following up,
but it is only a few days since I spoke
with Putin. It shows there is a connection here. The
Russian bureaucracy is a difficult animal. The chief of staff
is particularly difficult, but I have another that gets through
that was signed by Thurborn. These are just some some
of the thousand mentions of Vladimir Putin in the Epstein files. Now,
there are still many many files to go through. But
one other thing that I do want to note is
the cryptic mention. And I still can't figure this one
out of pizza and grape soda. No really, pizza and
grape soda. Let me show you what it says. This
is Jeffrey Epstein. This is Harry Fish to Jeffrey Epstein.
Holy shit, Chunky, I forgot about that. What time do
you want to get pizza and grape soda tomorrow? Second
one turns around says I wanted to let you know
the crew really appreciated the pizza today. Thank you for
letting us do that. That was from Roy Hodges, no joke. Now,
obviously there are millions more files to go through. There's
a million more that we're not even going to get.
But I did want to end on two examples of
maga's response to the Epstein file drop. Some MAGA are
actually cutting ties with Trump. Let me show you what
they're saying in it. They're saying, this is my public
declaration announcement. I'm reclining my past support for Donald Trump.
Anyone who has involved in anything to do with that
island and what they were doing, I just can't support
in any way. Children need to be protected. Everyone knew better.
Fuck that justice for all. And that's Ryan Garcia who
turns around and writes that are the MAGA pundits like
Maga Mike Johnson, Well, they like to pretend that the
DOJ slow rollout. Plus Trump's many mentions in the files
actually mean nothing. Play the clip.
Speaker 5: The President Trump's name appears throughout the Epstein files, including
in many of the new documents released this week. Now.
We want to stress appearing in the Epstein files does
not amount to or imply criminal wrongdoing. But do you
have any outstanding questions given that about the relationship between
President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 4: I do not.
Speaker 6: I mean, I've spoken to the President about this privately
and personally many times, and he's spoken very candidly and
openly to the public. He says the same things privately
that he does publicly. He's never had any concern about that. Remember,
President Trump was one of the first people that called
Epstein out and he kicked him out of Mary Lago,
off the property because he heard of some of the
nefarious things he was engaged in. He's never had any
concern about that at all.
Speaker 5: He did at one point call these files a democratic hoax,
But let me ask you about someone.
Speaker 6: Well, what he said specifically was the hoax of the
dim than trying to turn this into a political issue
and use it against him.
Speaker 1: Let me be crystal clear. While we do certainly have information,
much more than we had just a couple of days ago,
and more than during the first drop of the Epstein documents,
we're far far from having all of the information within
which to determine who knew what, when they knew it,
and who actually participated. There are dozens and dozens, almost
one hundred new names that have been released as a
result of this three million document drop, and again for
Todd Blanche to say that there will be no new
or any no additional filings or actions brought against any
of these people, it's despicable and as always, thanks for listening.
Hey everyone, First of all, thanks for watching. I mean
we're going to be posting daily episodes with reactions and
talking about politics. We'll be talking about everything in fact,
