1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,839 Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the 2 00:00:03,879 --> 00:00:08,320 Epstein Chronicles. I think it's relatively apparent at this point 3 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:13,000 that the Department of Justice under the Trump administration has 4 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,839 no desire to get to the bottom of what happened 5 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,320 with Jeffrey Epstein. And we know that for sure now, 6 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,960 as they say, there is no investigations currently going on 7 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:28,399 into Jeffrey Epstein's co conspirators or into the remnants of 8 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:33,200 his criminal empire. And that's the main reason that I've 9 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,240 been calling for a special Council from the very beginning. 10 00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:39,960 There is no scenario where the Department of Justice can 11 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,880 be trusted to do the right thing when it comes 12 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,479 to Jeffrey Epstein, and they've proven that time and time again, 13 00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:50,399 and now finally somebody in Congress is calling for a 14 00:00:50,439 --> 00:00:52,960 special council as well. And look, I'm not going to 15 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,679 sit here and tell you that I'm a big fan 16 00:00:54,719 --> 00:00:57,359 at Ted lou I am not. In fact, I'm not 17 00:00:57,399 --> 00:00:59,119 a fan of any of these people, as you know. 18 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,399 But that doesn't mean that he's wrong about this issue, 19 00:01:02,799 --> 00:01:06,480 because I think he's right. And if there's ever been 20 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,519 a time for a special Council, the time is now 21 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,280 and I'm talking about a full on colonoscopy of the 22 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:21,719 Jeffrey Epstein situation. Everybody that's ever been credibly accused under investigation, 23 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,920 a full robust investigation, and not just into Jeffrey Epstein's 24 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:31,680 criminal behavior, and not just into his criminal ties, but 25 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,359 into all the people that let it occur, into all 26 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,239 the people that signed off on the deals, into everybody 27 00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:42,680 that helped Jeffrey Epstein get away with this shit for 28 00:01:42,719 --> 00:01:46,400 so long. And if we pull on that thread, inevitably 29 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,200 what we're gonna find is that Jeffrey Epstein was being 30 00:01:49,239 --> 00:01:52,959 protected the whole entire time. And that's why they're fighting 31 00:01:52,959 --> 00:01:56,040 tooth andel to keep all of this under wraps. And 32 00:01:56,079 --> 00:01:57,799 the only way to get to the bottom of it 33 00:01:57,879 --> 00:02:01,000 is to have an independent special council who is prepared 34 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,640 to follow this wherever it leads. So today we have 35 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:11,560 an article from Newsweek and the headline Epstein files update. 36 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,680 Lou calls for special counsel over the Trump claims. Look, 37 00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:17,800 it's not just about Trump, though. That's the big problem 38 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,159 with Lou. Everything's about Trump Trump Trump Trump. And look, 39 00:02:22,199 --> 00:02:27,199 I get it, people don't like him, and that's very understandable. 40 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,240 But if you make it just about Donald Trump. We're 41 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,599 going to remain a neutral spinning our wheels. Now, Trump 42 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,199 has to be a part of the story, and this 43 00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:38,680 cover up is certainly part of the story. But to 44 00:02:38,719 --> 00:02:41,159 say that you want a special counsel just because of 45 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,199 Trump and the claims, that's not good enough for me, 46 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:49,439 Ted Lou. What about everything else that's occurred. Remember, Trump 47 00:02:49,719 --> 00:02:52,800 is only a symptom of a greater problem. So Ted 48 00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:55,000 Lou's on the right track here, but he needs to 49 00:02:55,039 --> 00:02:59,439 expand his scope because I promise you it wasn't just Trump. 50 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,080 This article was authored by Kate Plummer. California Democrat Ted 51 00:03:06,159 --> 00:03:09,280 Lou has called for a special counsel to investigate Attorney 52 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:14,439 General Paumbondi after the Department of Justice released previously unreleased 53 00:03:14,479 --> 00:03:19,360 memos related to allegations against President Donald Trump. And look, 54 00:03:19,479 --> 00:03:21,879 ted Lou is not wrong at least when it comes 55 00:03:21,879 --> 00:03:24,120 to the fact that a special investigator or a special 56 00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:26,759 council is needed. But for that to occur, we're going 57 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,719 to need bipartisan support. So if all you're doing is 58 00:03:29,719 --> 00:03:32,039 saying it's about Donald Trump, then you know you're not 59 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,439 going to get any of those Republicans to get on board. 60 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,560 None of them. So even if your motivation is to 61 00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:40,639 go after Donald Trump, and if you think that you're 62 00:03:40,639 --> 00:03:43,759 gonna hit pay dirt if you do so, then you 63 00:03:43,759 --> 00:03:46,719 should frame it like you care about the whole entire 64 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:51,719 situation and not just Trump. But people like Ted lu 65 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,919 they have tunnel vision and they can't see the bigger 66 00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:03,639 picture here. The DOJ released three FBI memos related to 67 00:04:03,759 --> 00:04:08,400 unverified sexual assault allegations against Trump on Thursday, following media 68 00:04:08,479 --> 00:04:11,719 reports that these files had not been included in the 69 00:04:11,759 --> 00:04:15,759 tranch of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein 70 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,079 that had already been made public. So that has to 71 00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:22,120 be answered for right, there's no doubt about it, and 72 00:04:22,199 --> 00:04:25,439 the DOJ doesn't have any good answer, not in my opinion, 73 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,920 just more nonsense, more narrative building, and more kicking the 74 00:04:29,959 --> 00:04:32,279 can down the road. But that's not gonna cut it. 75 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,480 They need to answer questions, and the only way to 76 00:04:35,519 --> 00:04:39,000 get them to do that in a manner that matters 77 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,040 is to have a special counsel do it. Because they're 78 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,360 gonna lie. I'm telling you right now, they're gonna lie. 79 00:04:44,439 --> 00:04:46,519 They're just gonna say whatever they want. Look at how 80 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,399 Pam Bondy acted, and that's because they know that they're 81 00:04:50,439 --> 00:04:54,439 being protected by a pardon. That's really what it comes 82 00:04:54,439 --> 00:04:57,920 down to. Do you really think Pam Bondy would have 83 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,639 been wild and out like that if there was no pardon? 84 00:05:01,439 --> 00:05:05,079 Stop it. She knows better, and she knows she's perjuring herself. 85 00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:08,279 She's seen the files and she's seen stuff we haven't 86 00:05:08,319 --> 00:05:12,920 even seen, so she knows better. The problem is there's 87 00:05:12,959 --> 00:05:16,319 no fear of any kind of repercussions because Donald Trump's 88 00:05:16,319 --> 00:05:19,600 just gonna partner. And that's why they're so brazenly engaging 89 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,439 in this cover up. Several media outlets reported on the 90 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,920 existence of files relating to a woman who alleged in 91 00:05:27,959 --> 00:05:31,399 an interview in twenty nineteen that Trump forced her to 92 00:05:31,439 --> 00:05:34,199 perform oral sex and struck her in the head in 93 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,319 the eighties. After Epstein introduced them, these claims have not 94 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,879 been substantiated. Well, the problem is when you pull them down, 95 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,680 you provide fertile ground for a bunch of theories to 96 00:05:45,759 --> 00:05:49,839 pop up. So whose fault is it? Once again, the dojs. 97 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,959 Remember they're in control. The DOJ has all the power 98 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,399 here and they've chosen to give us the bare minimum. 99 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,240 And that's not acceptable. None of its acceptable, not in 100 00:06:01,319 --> 00:06:04,600 my opinion. So if they can't be forced to do 101 00:06:04,639 --> 00:06:07,639 the right thing, then it's up to us to make 102 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,160 sure that there's some kind of oversight and somebody that 103 00:06:10,199 --> 00:06:12,439 can hold their feet to the fire. And who can 104 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,279 do that, Well, a special council, that's who. And I'm 105 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,480 not talking about your run of the mill special council. 106 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,879 I'm talking about bringing in a heavy hitter from the outside, 107 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:28,000 someone like Alan Jackson Andrew Brettler, you know, in that realm. 108 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,199 Pay them a shit ton of money and let's get 109 00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:36,279 to work, because this shit right here is not acceptable 110 00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:40,160 to me. And the fact that more people aren't calling 111 00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:45,560 for a special counsel is bananas. Trump has consistently denied 112 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,279 any wrongdoing in connection to Epstein, saying their friendship ended 113 00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:52,720 in the early two thousands. Being named in the Epstein 114 00:06:52,759 --> 00:06:56,399 files is not an indication of wrongdoing, and the White 115 00:06:56,399 --> 00:07:00,639 House has called the allegations false and sensationalist. Well, that's true. 116 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,040 Being in the files doesn't make you guilty, but it 117 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,839 sure does raise some questions, doesn't it. Now. My problem 118 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,480 has always been these people have known about their relationship 119 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,000 with Epstein, and they ran from it. From all these years, 120 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,319 but now all of a sudden when they're outed and 121 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,920 the public's interested. Oh, they have some excuses, right, Oh, 122 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,120 I hardly knew them, only for us to find out 123 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,160 that that's a lie as well. So all the people 124 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,959 that are in the files, of course they're not, you know, 125 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,480 guilty of crimes right off the bat because they're in 126 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,439 the files. That's crazy. If you had some dinner with 127 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,519 Epstein doesn't mean you're guilty. Now. It might make you 128 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,879 a dumb fuck, right, and it might make you a 129 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,439 disgusting person if you're doing that after he's been convicted, 130 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,920 But that doesn't make you a criminal. But here's the problem. 131 00:07:52,519 --> 00:07:55,120 There's never been a good enough investigation for us to 132 00:07:55,160 --> 00:08:00,680 suss out who's a criminal and who's not. So the 133 00:08:00,759 --> 00:08:03,720 only way to get there at this point is to 134 00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:06,600 have a special council. The DOJ has proven they can't 135 00:08:06,639 --> 00:08:11,120 do it, and not just this DOJ, the DOJ in general, 136 00:08:11,399 --> 00:08:15,839 year after year, decade after decade. So at some point, 137 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,160 enough is enough, Right, at some point the rubber has 138 00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:22,800 to meet the road and we have to throw the 139 00:08:22,839 --> 00:08:26,399 gauntlet down. And I think that point has arrived, So 140 00:08:26,519 --> 00:08:31,160 in my opinion, now's the time for a special council. 141 00:08:31,439 --> 00:08:35,000 Writing on X after the DOJ released the files, Lou 142 00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:38,039 accused Bondi of lying under oath about the files. I 143 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,399 agree with that. I think Pam Bondi has been lying 144 00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:42,279 to us from the very beginning, and I think she 145 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,840 continues to do so. And I guarantee you if a 146 00:08:45,879 --> 00:08:48,879 special council is appointed, they're going to focus on the 147 00:08:48,919 --> 00:08:52,279 cover up, I promise you, because that's where the meat 148 00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:55,240 and potatoes are at this point. Of course, the other 149 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,840 stuff is the most horrendous, the most vile, disgusting shit 150 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,919 that a human being can do to another human being. 151 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,159 But this is where the paper trail is, and if 152 00:09:06,159 --> 00:09:09,399 you start pulling on this, those other doors are going 153 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,840 to open. And that's why a special council is so 154 00:09:12,879 --> 00:09:17,240 important here, because they're going to dig everywhere, and if 155 00:09:17,279 --> 00:09:19,799 we give them the kind of power they need forget it, 156 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,039 we might actually have a chance to hold people accountable, 157 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,360 he wrote. Ag Bondi lied under oath. In her hearing, 158 00:09:27,879 --> 00:09:30,639 she stated there is no evidence that Donald Trump has 159 00:09:30,639 --> 00:09:34,960 committed a crime. DJ posted three FBI interviews related to 160 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,200 sexual assault allegations against Trump. That's evidence, well, okay, but 161 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,720 that's just one instance. Pam Bondi is lied about the 162 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,559 whole damn thing, he added, appearing to refer to New 163 00:09:47,639 --> 00:09:52,159 York Democrat Dan Goleman. Representative Goldman, and I have requested 164 00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:56,840 a special council to investigate. The DOJ referred Newsweek to 165 00:09:56,919 --> 00:10:00,159 a section of a January press release that said its 166 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,879 production may include fake or falsely submitted images, documents, or videos, 167 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,840 as everything that was sent to the FBI by the 168 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,679 public was included in the production that is responsive to 169 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,799 the Act. Some of the documents contain untrue and sensationalist 170 00:10:15,879 --> 00:10:19,360 claims against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI 171 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,120 right before the twenty twenty election. To be clear, the 172 00:10:23,159 --> 00:10:26,039 claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a 173 00:10:26,039 --> 00:10:29,399 shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against 174 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,519 President Trump. Already cool perfect special council to get to 175 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,879 the bottom of it, because breaking news. I don't trust 176 00:10:36,879 --> 00:10:41,159 the DOJ, I don't trust Pambondi, and I don't trust 177 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:46,679 President Trump. More than three million pages of documents related 178 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,320 to Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died in a 179 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,159 New York jail in twenty nineteen while waiting further charges 180 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,879 were released by the Justice Department under the Epstein Files 181 00:10:56,919 --> 00:11:02,759 Transparency Act after widespread clamor for more transparency. While the 182 00:11:02,799 --> 00:11:05,559 DOJ could redact parts of the files, the new claims 183 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,559 about Trump will draw scrutiny about his conduct and raise 184 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:13,840 questions about why the DOJ did not initially publish the documents. BINGO, 185 00:11:14,159 --> 00:11:16,519 that's what we should be focused on, because if we 186 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,159 focus on that, all the other stuff, the salacious stuff 187 00:11:20,519 --> 00:11:24,080 will come into focus. I'm telling you that's how this works. 188 00:11:24,879 --> 00:11:27,519 If you just jump from A to Z and you 189 00:11:27,519 --> 00:11:30,120 don't do all the work in between, you're not gonna 190 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,399 get anywhere. The lead about Trump allegations was included in 191 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:39,759 an internal FBI PowerPoint slide deck detailing prominent names in 192 00:11:39,799 --> 00:11:44,679 the Jeffrey Epstein and Glenn Maxwell investigation last fall. Democratic 193 00:11:44,799 --> 00:11:49,120 US Representative Robert Garcia of California last month said he 194 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:53,159 had reviewed the unredacted documents available to members of Congress 195 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,120 and said some files listed in an official log appeared 196 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:01,279 to be missing. The Justice Department was allowed to redact 197 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,759 records in specific instances, including documents that would jeopardize an 198 00:12:05,799 --> 00:12:10,720 active federal investigation or ongoing prosecution. We know that's not happening. 199 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,039 They stated it themselves, So that's one less reason they 200 00:12:15,039 --> 00:12:19,159 have to keep things redacted and from the American public. 201 00:12:22,279 --> 00:12:26,399 Contain personally identifiable information about victims that would constitute a 202 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:34,799 clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. White House spokesperson Abigail 203 00:12:34,879 --> 00:12:38,480 Jackson previously told Newsweek, just as President Trump has said, 204 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,720 he's been totally exonerated on anything relating to Epstein, and 205 00:12:42,759 --> 00:12:46,480 by releasing thousands of pages of documents, cooperating with the 206 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:51,080 House Oversight Committee subpoena request, signing the Epstein Files Transparency Act, 207 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:57,000 and calling for more investigations into Epstein's Democrat friends, President 208 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,759 Trump has done more for the Epstein victims than anyone forum. Meanwhile, 209 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,200 Democrats like Aqim Jeffries and Stacy Plaskett have yet to 210 00:13:05,279 --> 00:13:08,840 explain why they were soliciting money and meetings from Epstein 211 00:13:09,399 --> 00:13:12,639 after he was a convicted sex offender. Maybe somebody should 212 00:13:12,639 --> 00:13:15,519 ask your boy Ben Black the same question, Why was 213 00:13:15,519 --> 00:13:20,279 your dad literally in bed with Jeffrey Epstein? And then 214 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,679 why would Donald Trump bring that dude into the administration? 215 00:13:23,399 --> 00:13:27,480 Seems like a bad idea. No, then again, if you 216 00:13:27,519 --> 00:13:30,559 look around, plenty of people that were adjacent to Jeffrey 217 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,519 Epstein are part of Donald Trump's administration. Considering that and 218 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,919 everything else we know, how can anyone be confident that 219 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,399 this DOJ is going to do the right thing? And 220 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,879 that's why it's time to stop all the bullshit and 221 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:48,360 appoint the Special Counsel.
