1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: So Trump and his Lackey's well, they continue to say 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,759 that they are actually the most transparent administration in US history. 3 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:12,039 Yet new reporting shows that a photo of Howard Lutnik 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:16,399 on Epstein's Island with Jeffrey Epstein has literally been removed 5 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,839 from the online database. Let me show you the photo 6 00:00:19,879 --> 00:00:23,800 that they're talking about. Yet right there Howard his kids. 7 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:25,600 I happen to know the guy to the right, I 8 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,719 won't mention his name, and of course in the dead 9 00:00:27,839 --> 00:00:33,159 center over there, Jeffrey fucking Epstein. All right, that photo 10 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,920 was removed from the online database. But here's the thing. 11 00:00:36,439 --> 00:00:40,719 Why take it down? When you must understand that once 12 00:00:40,799 --> 00:00:46,119 something is on the internet, it never ever disappears. So 13 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,920 what would be the point. Now, CBS they actually authenticated 14 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,520 that photo. Let me show you what CBS reported. This 15 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,640 photo of Lutnik on Epstein's Island was removed from Justice 16 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,079 Department files. The articles goes on to say that a 17 00:01:01,119 --> 00:01:04,560 photo released last month by the Justice Department as part 18 00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:09,760 of Epstein files showed Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick with convicted 19 00:01:09,799 --> 00:01:13,640 sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on Epstein's Island in the Caribbean 20 00:01:13,879 --> 00:01:18,280 has been removed from the Justice Department's website. The photo, 21 00:01:18,519 --> 00:01:23,400 which has been authenticated by CBS News, shows Epstein, Lutnik, 22 00:01:23,599 --> 00:01:26,879 and three of the men standing over an oceanside cliff. 23 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:32,359 The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, a nonprofit that preserves digital 24 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,760 online content, downloaded the photo from the DOJ's website on 25 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:41,280 January thirty one. It was also archived by jmail, a 26 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:46,480 web interface that was created to archive Epstein content. The 27 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:51,519 photo was released under file number EFTA zero one two 28 00:01:51,599 --> 00:01:55,879 three zero six three nine on the DOJ's website, which 29 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,719 now points to a page not found. Let me be 30 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:06,480 again and crystal clear. That's Howard with Jeffrey Epstein in front, 31 00:02:06,879 --> 00:02:09,360 one of Howard's friends to the right, and the other 32 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:14,879 two are his kids now. Thomas Massey, a major advocate 33 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,719 for the release of the Epstein files, he responded with this. 34 00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:22,280 In it, he turns around and he writes, I'm sure 35 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,439 there's a good reason for this. DOJ needs to tell 36 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,080 Congress who pulled this file down so we can actually 37 00:02:29,159 --> 00:02:34,360 ask them. Well, of course somebody needs to explain, right, 38 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,280 what else then is being pulled down? What else is 39 00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:42,520 being hidden from these files? And the answer is we 40 00:02:42,719 --> 00:02:46,520 don't know, and every time that something like this happens, 41 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:53,919 conspiracy start flying around, innuendo, right, hypotheticals. Everybody then comes 42 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,319 up with an opinion. And what does it do? It 43 00:02:56,439 --> 00:03:00,759 distracts us from our ultimate goal, and that being the 44 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,960 release of all of the files and the accountability by 45 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,800 all those involved. Now, I want to show you one 46 00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:12,719 last version of photo showing that landmarks in the background 47 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,719 reveal that it is Epstein's Island. Let me show you 48 00:03:16,759 --> 00:03:22,000 the photo, Okay, Epstein's Island as you can see obviously 49 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,520 what they're pointing to. And just in case to jog 50 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:30,280 your memory, this is the email from Howard Lutnik about 51 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,639 visiting Epstein's Island on a specific day. It turns around, 52 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:39,360 and this is on December nineteenth of twenty twelve. Howard wrote, Hi, Jeff, 53 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,360 we are landing in Saint Thomas early Saturday afternoon and 54 00:03:43,439 --> 00:03:46,719 planning to head over to Saint Bart's Anguila on Monday 55 00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:50,199 at some point. Where are you located? What is exact 56 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,639 location for my captain? Does Sunday evening for dinner sound good? 57 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,759 I have another couple, Michael and Marcy Lairman with me 58 00:03:57,879 --> 00:04:02,000 on my boat, and each of us has children two sixteen's, 59 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,919 two fourteens, a thirteen, a twelve and eleven, and a 60 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,439 seven year old. Thanks all right, let me be crystal 61 00:04:09,479 --> 00:04:12,919 clear why that really is just a weird, weird fucking 62 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:18,600 email to send to a pedophile, somebody who's actually convicted 63 00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:24,360 of pedophil of having sexual relations with children. You're now 64 00:04:24,399 --> 00:04:26,680 going to tell them. You're going to tell that pedophile 65 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,319 how old your kids are? Isn't I mean, if that 66 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,680 doesn't just strike you as just glaringly stupid in so 67 00:04:34,759 --> 00:04:37,879 many ways forgetting about the fact that you are now 68 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:44,839 associating with a convicted pedophile, and you're now bringing eight 69 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,600 kids to the island, and you're telling the pedophile how old. 70 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,879 I don't know. I get so lost by the stupidity 71 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,120 of so many in this matter. My blood pressure goes up. 72 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,839 And Representative I'm sorry, was asked why Comer has delayed 73 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,399 deciding if Lutnix should be subpoena to testify before Congress 74 00:05:09,439 --> 00:05:11,399 at all. Play the clip. 75 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 2: There is one connection to Epstein here. There is an 76 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,639 email in epstein file showing that Trump's Commerce Secretary Howard 77 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,720 Lutnik invited Jeffrey Epstein to a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton 78 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,480 either be your sense of why it has taken Chairman 79 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,959 Comer this long to decide whether to subpoena Leutnik. 80 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 3: First of all, I don't think Sherman Comer is very smart. 81 00:05:33,639 --> 00:05:36,560 I just do not think he has a strategy whatsoever. 82 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,000 I don't think he has a plan. I think they 83 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,879 wanted to make this big show of Hillary Clinton with 84 00:05:40,959 --> 00:05:44,560 no real idea of how they would take it forward. 85 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,519 They have been reluctant about all of the subpoenas. 86 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, they have been, and as I write in my 87 00:05:50,959 --> 00:05:54,519 sub steck of Today's secrets, don't stay buried forever. For 88 00:05:54,680 --> 00:06:01,360 more than four decades, they hidden plain Sight foundation galas 89 00:06:01,399 --> 00:06:06,959 behind Davos panels, behind private jets and philanthropic pledges, behind 90 00:06:06,959 --> 00:06:10,560 the smug confidence that comes from believing that your wealth, 91 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,519 your title, your proximity to power will always be enough. 92 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:20,240 But here's the fact, gravity eventually wins. Welcome back to 93 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,959 The Michael Cohen Show on our continued journey to a 94 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:27,879 million subscribers. Let's get there together, So doing a favor, hit, subscribe, watch, comment, 95 00:06:27,959 --> 00:06:33,240 and please share, Please share this with somebody, because this stupidity, 96 00:06:33,399 --> 00:06:36,639 this bullshit, it has to stop. And again on a 97 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,759 programming note, I do want to let you know that 98 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,519 Waimea Kulpa and Political Beatdown and no longer being shown 99 00:06:42,519 --> 00:06:45,920 on the Midas Touching Network. Those shows they're not going away, 100 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,959 not for a long shot. In fact, they are available 101 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,600 right now on my YouTube channel, right here at the 102 00:06:51,639 --> 00:06:56,079 Michael Cohen Show or wherever you get your podcasts. Now. 103 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,439 While there's been little accountability regarding the Epstein file, at 104 00:07:00,519 --> 00:07:04,040 least here in the United States, well there was more 105 00:07:04,079 --> 00:07:09,079 accountability all right this week overseas. Let me show you 106 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,959 what I'm talking about in it it turns on said 107 00:07:11,959 --> 00:07:15,480 this is the Financial Times breaking news. The president and 108 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:20,199 chief executive of the World Economic Forum Burg Brent has 109 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,879 announced his resignation following an investigation by the Forum into 110 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:30,480 his links with the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. Well, he's 111 00:07:30,519 --> 00:07:35,879 not a disgraced financier. He's a disgraced dead pedophile. And 112 00:07:35,959 --> 00:07:40,000 you know what, we don't know yet exactly what Borges's 113 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:45,839 relationship specifically was with Epstein. Certainly, what we do know 114 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,920 it cost another person, at least overseas, their job. But 115 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,240 you know, again, as I say in my sub stack 116 00:07:54,319 --> 00:07:58,160 of today from Les Wexner to Larry Summers, from Secretary 117 00:07:58,199 --> 00:08:02,319 of Commerce Howard Lutnik to Bill, from former Prince Andrew 118 00:08:02,319 --> 00:08:06,600 to Peter Mandelsson, from boardrooms in Manhattan to palaces in London, 119 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:11,399 from Silicon Valley to Brussels. The common denominator here it's 120 00:08:11,439 --> 00:08:17,199 not ideology. It was access. Access to a man everyone 121 00:08:17,279 --> 00:08:21,759 now claims that they barely knew they barely knew him. 122 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,879 And also this week the Clinton's Clinton's deposed here in 123 00:08:26,959 --> 00:08:30,439 New York at the Chapela Performing Arts Center by the 124 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,600 Oversight Committee, and Ron Philipkowski, well, he kind of made 125 00:08:34,639 --> 00:08:36,759 it astute point to it. Let me show you what 126 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,559 he said in it. He writes, it's great that Republicans 127 00:08:40,639 --> 00:08:45,000 on House Oversight established a precedent today for first ladies 128 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,440 to be deposed about Epstein. Can't wait until Democrats take 129 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,519 over the committee at the end of the year. You know, 130 00:08:53,279 --> 00:08:55,919 a really good point. It's something that I've been saying 131 00:08:55,919 --> 00:08:58,000 now for a while. When I turned around and I 132 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:03,240 had heard that they were Subpoenainghillary Clinton, understand, we have 133 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,679 two hundred and seventy five days left before the midterms, 134 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:13,720 after Democrats take over the House, and the vast odds 135 00:09:13,759 --> 00:09:16,279 are in favor of that. What do you think is 136 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,039 going to happen? Why did they actually choose to depose 137 00:09:20,159 --> 00:09:27,200 I could understand choosing to depose Bill Clinton, I absolutely can. 138 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:33,519 There's plenty of information about him. But Hillary, what was 139 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,399 the point so to embarrass her? Did you think that 140 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,480 she was going to turn around and say, oh, yeah, 141 00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:41,679 Bill came home one day and told me that he 142 00:09:41,759 --> 00:09:46,080 had sex with a thirteen year old? Are they that naive? 143 00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:52,080 Are they that stupid? What was the point? Because right 144 00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:57,360 now understand that they have, As Ron Philibkowski wrote, they 145 00:09:57,399 --> 00:10:00,559 have set up a very dangerous precedent and rest assured 146 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:06,120 at some point in time, Maligna Trump will actually be 147 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:10,720 subpoenaed to testify. And I can tell you one thing 148 00:10:10,799 --> 00:10:16,000 for certain. She doesn't want to. Nobody wants to testify. 149 00:10:17,279 --> 00:10:21,279 But before speaking with President Clinton, Nancy Mace, she said 150 00:10:21,279 --> 00:10:27,679 that Hillary had been unhinged. Unhinged about what play the clip? 151 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,639 Speaker 2: What do you mean that Hillary Clinton was screening? 152 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,399 Speaker 4: She was our hinge. I hope that President Clinton is 153 00:10:33,919 --> 00:10:41,639 less unhinged today than his wife was yesterday. You'll say, well, 154 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:42,519 he was. 155 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:51,759 Speaker 1: Basically instrumental for you'll find out Dody he was the 156 00:10:51,799 --> 00:10:56,240 ally By the way, was she unhinged? Maybe because Lauren 157 00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,639 Bobert was taking photos of her and then they were 158 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,759 posting it in order to, I don't know, make some 159 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:10,519 presumption that she had done something improper, illegal. Nobody has 160 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,519 any idea. All we know is that they weren't supposed 161 00:11:13,519 --> 00:11:17,159 to do it. But Lauren bober doesn't care. And and 162 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,279 Paulina Luna, she has no idea what she was saying. Again, 163 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,159 everything is so general. Oh well, you'll find out, you'll 164 00:11:25,159 --> 00:11:28,879 find out. How about you tell us right now? But no, 165 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,600 everything is sort of a cliffhanger these days. And while 166 00:11:32,639 --> 00:11:35,240 the GOP is saying that Hillary was unhinged, let me 167 00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:38,759 show you. Hillary revealed that she was questioned. Get a 168 00:11:38,799 --> 00:11:41,360 load of this, because this is really what we're all 169 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:46,919 interested in. She was questioned about UFOs and Pizzagate. Play 170 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:47,360 the clip. 171 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 4: I don't know how many times I had to say 172 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,639 I did not know Jeffrey Hepstein. I never went to 173 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,559 his island, I never went to his homes, I never 174 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:01,440 went to his offices. So it's on the record numerous times. 175 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:08,559 It then got at the end quite unusual because I 176 00:12:08,639 --> 00:12:13,840 started being asked about UFOs, and a series of questions 177 00:12:13,879 --> 00:12:19,240 about Pizzagate, one of the most vile, bogus conspiracy theories 178 00:12:19,279 --> 00:12:24,879 that was propagated on the Internet that was serving as 179 00:12:24,879 --> 00:12:28,120 a basis of a member's questions to me. 180 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,559 Speaker 1: You know, it's really it's despicable. What was the goal 181 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,440 of them to do this, to bring her in? I 182 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,159 still to this moment can't figure out, you know, what 183 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,720 we're supposed to be do, bringing people and ask them 184 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,879 when you were there, for example, like Lutnik, did you 185 00:12:44,919 --> 00:12:49,559 see any teenage girls? Why were their teenage girls seeming 186 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,720 to float in and out of these resonances, whether it 187 00:12:53,759 --> 00:13:00,759 was Manhattan, Palm Beach, the Bahamas, without visible parents or 188 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:06,679 any supervision. No one asked the basic questions. No one 189 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:11,960 paused long enough to consider that proximity to a convicted 190 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,440 pedophile might require more than a shrug in a dinner reservation. 191 00:13:17,279 --> 00:13:21,279 Now Clinton, He also spoke about the fact that Republicans 192 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,559 chose to show up at her deposition and nobody else 193 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:26,480 has played the clip. 194 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 4: I can only say that the best exchange that I 195 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:38,039 had came at the very end, when, contrary to every 196 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:46,639 other deposition they have taken, no Republican member asked any 197 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:53,440 questions about Jeffrey Epstein or Delayanne Maxwell to anyone else 198 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:58,120 they have deposed. And in fact, the Republican members didn't 199 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,840 even show up for the depth position of Les Wexner. 200 00:14:03,639 --> 00:14:07,720 And when I said that, I had to point out 201 00:14:07,919 --> 00:14:14,720 that the only questions that any Republican member asked of 202 00:14:14,799 --> 00:14:19,759 any of the people they had proposed was of former 203 00:14:19,799 --> 00:14:29,200 Attorney General Bill Barr, when Comer asked him about the 204 00:14:29,279 --> 00:14:35,720 allegations in his view about Russia's involvement in my election 205 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:40,840 in twenty sixteen. So at the very end of this hearing, 206 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:45,720 after I made that point, I want to commend Chairman 207 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:53,759 Comber for raising a series of significant questions that I 208 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,879 responded to about the nature of the investigation and the 209 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:03,559 areas that I thought should be explored. So I appreciated 210 00:15:03,559 --> 00:15:09,720 that I want to see the truth come out. So 211 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:15,039 that was a reassuring way to end a very long, 212 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,159 repetitive deposition. 213 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, I understand those, trust me. I want to end 214 00:15:20,799 --> 00:15:23,360 on this, which again is how I ended my substack. 215 00:15:23,759 --> 00:15:27,600 For decades, they relied on the assumption that no one 216 00:15:27,919 --> 00:15:32,960 would connect the dots. Now the dots are public and 217 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:37,840 people are connecting the dots and the Consequences.
