Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Epstein Chronicles. Ever since the death of Jeffrey Epstein, we
have heard from the federal government that without a doubt,
it was the suicide and that there's no question in
their mind that Jeffrey Epstein took his own life, and
they say that they have viewed video and evidence that
leads them to that conclusion. The only problem with that
is they haven't shared that evidence with the rest of us,
and it just so happens that the narrative that they
tried to pitch to us doesn't really fit with the
reality of what happened inside of that facility. And it's
been very obvious from the first suicide attempt or alleged
suicide attempt. I should say that something was amiss. And
when you go back and you look at the decisions
that were made, you have to ask yourself what the
hell was going on at MCC and why in the
hell did they make decisions that they made, Because Jeffrey
Epstein should have never been in a cell with Nicholas
Tartaglioni in the first place. And if you notice, they
always glaze over that part of the story. They talk
about it as if it's some kind of footnote, as
if it's not an important part of what happened. And
in my opinion, it's a gigantic part. Because I've said
it once and I'll say it again. I think that
Tartaglioni was put in that gel cell to send a
message to Jeffrey Epstein, and that message was, listen, bro,
we can reach out and touch you anytime we want,
so either you do it or will do it. And
at that point Epstein knew that he was cooked, and
he's been around long enough to know that when you're
cooked in that world, well, that means that you're finished.
That doesn't mean you're getting fired or that you're going
to be exiled. It means you're going to be deleted
from the playing board. And that's exactly what ended up
having happening with Jeffrey Epstein, isn't it. But they'll tell
you that everything that went wrong was just a coincidence
and that it was just the perfect storm of screw
ups all at the same time that led to this
gigantic disaster, and that's what they want you to believe,
And for years they have been adamant about that narrative,
and anybody who questioned that narrative was considered a kook,
was considered somebody that might as well be talking about
Little Green men, as if there weren't mountains of evidence
about Jeffrey Epstein in his crimes and about what went
down and about what happened in that jail cell on
the night in question, And now with the spotlight really
turned up, people are asking questions once again about what
happened in that jail cell, and I think people are
on the right track. There's a lot of salacious side
quests and a lot of things coming out in the
files that they want you to dive into, and they
want you to go after things like babies get eaten,
you know, all kinds of unsubstantiated claims, and look, I'm
not saying that those claims aren't true. I don't know,
but I will tell you this, that's one of their
favorite traps. They want to make everybody seem like they're crazy.
They want everybody talking about this story to be framed
as nothing more than somebody out here is searching for Bigfoot.
And what's the best way to do that, Well, sprinkle
some fake stuff in with the real stuff. Release it
and then let the party begin. Keep in mind that
everything's about confusion and obfuscation when it comes to Jeffrey
Epstein's people. That's always been the plan. And what better
way to add some confusion than to have people on
these crazy side quests, Because if we're spending all of
our time jumping down those rabbit holes, then we're not
spending our time on the systemic failures that occurred. And
I think at this point that is the most important
path to travel, and that's because this manning infrastructure is intact.
I'm talking about going after the people that we know
we can get indictments on in Dike Khan, the Core four,
and then if you want to talk about financial crimes,
we could talk about Leon Black, we could talk about
Les Wexner, we could talk about Glenn Dubin. The list
goes on, and I know we all get caught up
on the most horrendous part of this, and of course
that's the most important part of it, right getting justice
for those girls who were wronged. But at the same time,
we have to understand that there's plenty of ways to
skin a cat, and you don't always have to go
after people on the most salacious charges to make sure
that they're punished. And I've brought up the analogy before
and I'll bring it up again. Look at al Capone.
They didn't get them for all the murders, right, They
didn't get them for the mayhem. They got them for
tax evasion. And in my opinion, there's certainly been a
ton of tax evasion when we're talking about Jeffrey Epstein's friends.
So it's not just the human trafficking and sexual abuse
that's criminal. We're talking about an international money laundering scheme
that involves some of the most powerful people in the
whole entire world. That's what they don't want you focused on.
They want you focused on other things that make you
look like some kind of crazy. So I'll leave that
to other people here on the podcast. We're gonna stick
to doing what we always do, and that's following the
evidence wherever it leads us. Today's article is from CBS
News and the headline who entered Epstein's jail tier the
night of his death. Newly released video logs appear to
contradict official accounts. Well that's a shock, huh. I thought
that official narrative was air tight. Isn't that what Dan
Bongino told us. I mean, according to him and Cash Betel,
there was no evidence of anything nobody else involved, and
certainly no evidence at Epstein did anything besides kill himself.
And you know that they've been privy to a lot
more evidence than us. They certainly seen more evidence than
the general public. And they have the audacity to get
up there and lie and act like nobody's going to
call them out, and everybody's just going to be like, oh, okay, cool,
Dan Bongino said, So, so why don't we just trust
him and his sweaty ass forehead? Sounds like a gray plan, folks.
The buffoonery is real. This article was authored by Daniel Rutnik.
Newly released Department of Justice documents show that investigators reviewing
surveillance footage from the night of Jeffrey Epstein's death observed
in orange colored shape moving up a staircase toward the
isolated locked tier where his cell was located at approximately
ten thirty nine pm on August ninth, twenty nineteen. That
entry in an observation log of the video from the
Metropolitan Correctional Center appears to suggest something previously unreported by authorities.
A flash of orange looks to be going up the
el tier stairs. Could possibly be an inmate escorted up
to that tier. Look, we have no idea what happened
that night. Do you know that five or six different
guards refused to even speak to the OIG investigators. I mean,
think about that for a second. These clowns have pitched
you a story that's not even half true, and it's
a story that's been disputed from the very beginning. Why
was Jeffrey Epstein's death reported on four Chan like thirty
eight minutes before it was picked up by legacy media?
Still no answers for that. It also appears, according to
an FBI memorandum, that reviews by investigators led to disparate
conclusions by the FBI and those examining the same video
from the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General. The
FBI log describes the fuzzy image as a possible inmate.
Like what what does that even mean? Possible? I mean
that can't really be the case, right, Dan Bongino told
us something completely different. Cash Pateel told us something completely
different while he was under oath, So that can't be true.
Cash Pateel would never lie to us, right, How about
Dan Bongino, two very very very honorable men, pillars of society,
Salt of the Earth types. The Inspector General logs it
as an officer carrying orange linen or betting, noting in
their final report as an unidentified corrections officer. I mean,
if you want to believe that, cool, But I have
a hard time believing anything they're telling us about what
happened in that jail cell, especially the final report by
the Inspector General stated at approximately ten thirty nine pm
and unidentified COEO appeared to walk up the ultier stairway
and then reappeared within view of the camera at ten
forty one pm. Official reports state that Epstein died by
suicide sometime before six thirty am, when his body was
discovered by a corrections officer delivering his breakfast. No official
time of death was ever determined. In recent months, there
have been questions about the work of investigators probing the
circumstances of his death the recent months. No years, you
guys just woke up and started talking about the story again.
Some of us have been demanding answers for years, and look,
I'm not saying I don't appreciate the cavalry finally showing up.
I do, but let's not act like this is something
that just popped up, because this is something that's been
a point of contention for people that have been following
the story for a long time. In an in depth
analysis a surveillance video from the jail, CBS News previously
reported on the figure on the stairs and consulted independent
video analysts who said the movement was more consistent with
an inmate or someone wearing an orange prison uniform than
a corrections officer. And when you watch that video, it
surely looks to me that there is an inmate heading
up the tear So the question is what was he
doing and why? And who allowed it, who signed off
on it, who gave him the okay? How did he
get into the tier? A lot of questions, folks still
no answers. The new records raise more questions about activity
near Epstein's tier late that evening official reviews of Epstein's
death make no mention of the figure in orange, and
later pronouncements from authorities, including the Attorney General at the time,
Bill barr Or that no one entered Epstein's housing tier
the night of his death, Bill Barr mister honesty himself.
Huh does anyone really believe anything that Bill Barr has
to say? If Bill Barr told me that the sky
was blue, I'd have to run outside and check for myself.
I don't trust a word coming out of Bill Barr's mouth.
And there's a reason that I used to call the
dude Darth Barr last summer. In an interview on Fox
and Friends, then Deputy FBI director Dan Bongino said, there's
video clear as day. He's the only person in there
and the only person coming out. You can see it. No,
you can't see it, Danny boy. You know what I
do see though? I see a cover up happening in
real time that Dan Bongino certainly was part of. Prison
employees interviewed by CBS News said escorting an inmate at
that hour would have been highly unusual. The identification of
the individual could have been crucial to reconstructing the events,
given that the sighting occurred within the estimated window of
Epstein's possible time of death. Probably important, right, seems like
a very important avenue to investigate. I mean, they said
that they had all the evidence, they seen everything, They
know everything, well, I guess not. The staircase leading to
his cell was captured by the only camera known to
have been recording that night, positioned in a way that
partially obscured the approach to Epstein's tear. Government investigators relied
heavily on that footage in reconstructing the timeline of events,
but because of the camera angle, it was not possible
to rule out whether someone could have climbed the stairs
and entered the tier without being clearly visible. CBS News
analysis of that video found additional contradictions between what the
video showed and official statements. Well, of course, the whole
entire case has been riddled with contradictions, and that's part
of it. That's part of the confusion, and that's part
of the plan to keep everybody in the dark. That's
always been the goal. They knew they couldn't sweep this
under the rug, so they wanted to make it confusing,
and they try to frame it as some wild ass
conspiracy theory. Unfortunately for them, there's enough evidence out there now,
tangible evidence that normal people can take a look at
it and they see that narratives bs for themselves. And
once you recognize that the narratives BS. You start to
ask yourself, what else are they lying to me about?
And I have bad news for you, folks. They're lying
to you about everything. Thousands of pages released last week
is part of a broader Justice Department disclosure of Epstein
related files totaling more than three million. Documents provide additional
detail about the hours between the evening of August ninth,
when Epstein was last seen alive on camera, and the
discovery of his body the following morning. Records and interviews
describe a largely quiet night inside the special Housing unit
or shoe where Epstein was being held. Several inmates told
investigators that were using drugs inside their cells, including marijuana
and K two, a synthetic substance that multiple witnesses said
was common on the tier. Among those interviewed were two
Corrections officers assigned to the unit that night, Tovin Noel
and Guito Bonjome, a materials handler who had not previously
been publicly identified. Documents show Bonjome was interviewed twice in
September twenty nineteen in sessions conducted in lieu of a
Grand Jerry subpoena. According to Noel's account. Bonhomy had been
working multiple consecutive shifts and slept while on duty for
a period between approximately ten pm and midnight. Investigators also
questioned Noel about an unexplained change in the recorded number
of inmates in the shoe, which appeared to drop from
seventy three to seventy two sometime between ten pm and
three am. Noel said she was probably mistaken about the
discrepancy and told investigators she had no memory of account changing. Oh,
I have no doubt. Nobody knows anything. Nobody had anything
to do with it, any of it. Nobody knows anything.
And the guards who fell asleep Tova Noel and her buddy, Ah,
no big deal. We'll just give them a slap on
the wrist. Neither officer was specifically asked about the orange
colored figure noted in the video observation log. Von Homie
told investigators he did not remember the period between ten
pm and midnight, and said he had no recollection of
anyone walking up the stairs toward Epstein's tier at around
ten thirty pm. He added that a jail employee entering
a tier alone would have violated policy. A separate internal
presentation included in the document release described a corrections officer
believed by investigators to be Noel, carrying linen or inmate
clothing up to the tier. The twenty twenty three Inspector
General Report did not identify Noel as the figure seen
in the footage. In her interview, Noel told investigators distributing
linen was not part of her duties. I never gave
out lennen ever, she said, because that's done on the
shifts prior. So just more confusion, more lies and more bs,
and unfortunately that's all we're going to get from the DOJ.
They're not going to give us the truth. They're not
going to be honest. They're not going to tell us
what really happened. Bon Holm ended his shift at midnight
and was replaced by another corrections officer named Michael Thomas,
who would discover Epstein's body eight hours later. Noel continued
on for a second consecutive eight hour shift. Thomas and
Noel failed to complete in may counts at three am
and five am, as well as mandatory thirty minute wellness
checks of Epstein. Investigators speculated the officers may have fallen asleep.
Thomas and Noel were later charged with falsifying records certifying
the inmate counts had been completed. Federal prosecutors eventually dropped
the charges in exchange for cooperation agree that included interviews.
A transcript of Thomas's interview, conducted two years after Epstein's
death and released in the recent document disclosure, showed significant
gaps in his recollection of the morning Epstein was found.
Thomas told investigators he discovered Epstein in his cell shortly
after six thirty am on August tenth, and that he
ripped Epstein down from the hanging position. Investigators asked what
happened to the news I don't recall taking the noose off.
I really don't, he replied. I don't recall taking the
thing from around his neck. Noel, who remained standing at
the cell entrance, told investigators she saw Thomas lower Epstein
to the floor, but did not see a noose around
his neck. The newse Epstein allegedly used has never been
definitively identified, according to the Inspector General's report. A news
collected at the scene was later determined not to be
the ligature used in Epstein's death. Nothing weird here, though,
Everything's just on the up and up. Everything's normal, everything's okay.
No worries, folks. I'm from the government and I'm here
to help. Thomas also described Epstein as shirtless when he
found them. Evidence records indicate a shirt believed to have
been cut from Epstein's body was later returned from the
hospital in a bag of personal belongings. The new documents
also show that the New York City Office of the
Chief Medical Examiner reviewed the jail surveillance footage six days
after Epstein's death as part of its investigation and concluded
the video was too blurry to identify any individuals. Hours later,
the office publicly ruled Epstein's death a suicide. The Medical
Examiner did not provide an estimate on how long Epstein
may have been dead before his body was discovered, and
CBS News had previously reported on the offices on ORB
the doc's handling of the crime scene. Yeah, it was terrible.
They didn't follow procedure, nothing was preserved, there was no video. Horrible.
Everything about it was horrible, and all of it was unacceptable.
Anytime somebody dies in jail, that should be treated as
a homicide right off the bat, until you do an
investigation and figure out one way or the other what
went down, but that never happened here, and the records
show that. The records prove that there was never a
real investigation. When it comes to what happened to Jeffrey
Epstein that night, nothing conclusive. Doctor Michael Boden, a forensic
pathologist retained by Epstein's brother, previously told CBS News Epstein
had likely been dead for several hours but before you
was found, but because the body had been moved, determining
the time of death was impossible. Bonham declined to comment
when contacted by a CBS News. Noel's attorney told News
Miss Noel will not be making any statements or attempts
to clarify any aspect of the situation. Previous attempts to
reach Michael Thomas on the phone, through his attorney and
at his home have been unsuccessful. So no accountability, nobody
answering for anything, And here we are once again left
with more questions than answers. So, considering Miss Noel and
mister Michael Thomas don't want to talk, I'd say that
it's the perfect time to hit them with subpoenas and
drag them before Congress. Everybody involved has to be under oath.
Everybody involved has to be questioned, and anybody that helped
this cover up move forward, and if there's evidence of that,
those people should be indicted and they should be held
accountable for whatever part they played, because at this point,
as far as I'm concerned, it's not whether there's a
cover up underway. At this point, it's not even a
question about if there's a cover up happening. Real question
is just how deep does the cover up go and
who all is involved. All of the information that goes
with this episode can be found in the description box.
