Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. When it comes to the lawsuit between Virginia
Speaker 1: and Glenn Maxwell, we still haven't seen all of the
Speaker 1: files and that's because a lot of them were locked
Speaker 1: away by the judge who was overseeing it at the time,
Speaker 1: and it was a sweeping seal, meaning that he didn't
Speaker 1: really go through all the different files and sealed them
Speaker 1: on a one by one basis. Basically, it was a
Speaker 1: blanket seal and anything that could embarrass people or that
Speaker 1: would give private information up ended up being sealed. But
Speaker 1: that's not the way it should have went. And now
Speaker 1: with the latest ruling by Judge Presca, we're going to
Speaker 1: get to see some of these documents. Now, the question
Speaker 1: is when is that going to occur. When are they
Speaker 1: going to be unsealed and available for us to dive into,
Speaker 1: And of course there's a whole process that has to
Speaker 1: be followed now with these documents being unsealed. So today
Speaker 1: we have an article from Media and the headline damning
Speaker 1: evidence from Virginia Roberts twenty fifteen lawsuit against Glaann Maxwell
Speaker 1: to be released. This article was authored by Kathy Anne Bonniello.
Speaker 1: More damning documents about Jeffrey Epstein and Glenn Maxwell could
Speaker 1: be on the way after a Manhattan federal court judge
Speaker 1: agreed to unseal the voluminous case files from more than
Speaker 1: a decade old lawsuit against the convicted madam. And there's
Speaker 1: a ton of depositions that have still been sealed. And boy,
Speaker 1: I can't wait to get a look at him. I
Speaker 1: can't wait to see what people had to say, and
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see how many people pled the fifth.
Speaker 1: And here's another thing. There's going to be damning information
Speaker 1: about a lot of people, not just about Maxwell, not
Speaker 1: just about Epstein, but about a lot of people. And
Speaker 1: that was why Judge Sweet ended up sealing all of this.
Speaker 1: He didn't want to embarrass people, which is absolutely ridiculous
Speaker 1: because these people, well they embarrassed themselves. Miami Herald investigative
Speaker 1: reporter Julie K. Brown, whose reporting led to the downfall
Speaker 1: of the disgraced financier Pedophile, reported the decision from Judge
Speaker 1: Loretta Presca on her sub stack on Tuesday. Well, this
Speaker 1: decision was made days ago, and Judge Presca has been
Speaker 1: one of the few judges that has actually cared about
Speaker 1: transparency throughout this process, and she's one of the judges
Speaker 1: that doesn't seem to fear these people, and she certainly
Speaker 1: doesn't care about their image, right. I mean, she was
Speaker 1: the one that released all this information in the first place,
Speaker 1: before the Epstein files were a thing. Judge Presca had
Speaker 1: these documents coming out on a rolling basis, and considering
Speaker 1: the way these other judges have acted, I think we
Speaker 1: have to give Judge Presca a lot of credit when
Speaker 1: it comes to transparency. Virginia Roberts sued Maxwell for defamation
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen after Maxwell accused Roberts of making up
Speaker 1: sex trafficking allegations against Epstein and others, including former Prince
Speaker 1: Andrew mount Batton Windsor, who is now under police probe
Speaker 1: for his ties to the pedophile Well, yeah, for passing information,
Speaker 1: not for the stuff. He should be under investigation for
Speaker 1: the stuff that Virginia told everybody about years ago. That's
Speaker 1: what he should have been under investigation for. But of
Speaker 1: course not right, God forbid, the queen's son actually gets
Speaker 1: some kind of ramifications. Brown and The Miami Herald have
Speaker 1: fought in court for nearly a decade to unseal the
Speaker 1: hefty case files from Robert's lawsuit, Brown wrote, adding the
Speaker 1: lawsuit was settled in early twenty seventeen. I had been
Speaker 1: told discovery contained damning evidence against Epstein, Maxwell and other men,
Speaker 1: and that it was worth trying to get the courts
Speaker 1: to unseal the document on the grounds that they were
Speaker 1: never properly sealed in the first place. And this is
Speaker 1: a discussion that I've had with Virginia. We talked about
Speaker 1: these files and how they were still sealed, and how
Speaker 1: it was ridiculous, especially considering she won the lawsuit. Those
Speaker 1: files should have been public record, but of course they
Speaker 1: were hidden. And why were they hidden, Well, because the
Speaker 1: people whose names were contained inside of those files didn't
Speaker 1: want you to know. And that's the same reason you
Speaker 1: see this cover up that's happening right now. In real time,
Speaker 1: judicial records, by law, are supposed to be open to
Speaker 1: the public. In this case, the former judge Robert Sweet,
Speaker 1: now deceased, issued a blanket sealing on all the documents
Speaker 1: because they contained sensitive and private information. Sweet placed to
Speaker 1: protective order on massive amounts of material, including hearings and
Speaker 1: judicial decisions made in the case. The voluminous evidence that
Speaker 1: Virginia presented to show that Epstein and Maxwell were operating
Speaker 1: an underage sex trafficking operation. You know, the one that
Speaker 1: was proven correct. You know Maxwell charged with perjury? Could
Speaker 1: she lied during this ordeal? But sure tell me some
Speaker 1: more about how it's all overblown. The only thing that's
Speaker 1: overblown is a narrative that says that all of this
Speaker 1: has already been investigated. That's the biggest hoax in the
Speaker 1: whole entire case. This is not the way sealing is
Speaker 1: supposed to happen. However, each document that the lawyers want
Speaker 1: sealed has to be examined, and those requesting it be
Speaker 1: sealed must provide legal justification to the judge for doing so.
Speaker 1: This wasn't done in this case, of course, it wasn't.
Speaker 1: Nothing that should have been done was ever done. It
Speaker 1: was always just done in a manner that would benefit
Speaker 1: Epstein time and time again, and at some point you
Speaker 1: have to ask yourself, is this all just by accident?
Speaker 1: Is it all coincidence? Or could it be that it's
Speaker 1: something much more a fit. Last week, PRESCO rejected Maxwell's
Speaker 1: bid to keep the files under wrap, noting that epstein
Speaker 1: files transparency acts superseded in earlier grand jury argument that
Speaker 1: Maxwell was using to keep the records from the public,
Speaker 1: Brown wrote, and there's no doubt the EFTA really launched
Speaker 1: some different things into orbit, and it gave us a
Speaker 1: little bit more of an ability to make an argument
Speaker 1: with the courts that things should be unsealed. So I
Speaker 1: think it's very important that the EFTA went through. But
Speaker 1: with that said, like I've told you a million times,
Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of the fact that it
Speaker 1: didn't have teeth. You have to have teeth. You can't
Speaker 1: have some kind of congressional bill that doesn't have punishment
Speaker 1: on the back end. I mean, it sounds good and
Speaker 1: it looks good in concept, but what are you gonna
Speaker 1: do when people don't listen? What are you gonna do
Speaker 1: when people decide to make a move like we've seen
Speaker 1: with the DOJ You're gonna be stuck. And unfortunately that's
Speaker 1: where we find ourselves. We have the EFTA, but there's
Speaker 1: no teeth. And how many people have already got up
Speaker 1: there and given us testimony where they lied, bullshitted and
Speaker 1: told a bunch of nonsense to the Congressional Committee. Well
Speaker 1: just about all of them, right, And what's happened. I
Speaker 1: ain't been hit with perjury, has anyone been referred, has
Speaker 1: anyone been arrested? Has there been the doors blown off
Speaker 1: of the investigation? Of course not. And while it's great
Speaker 1: that role Conna and Thomas Massey worked together to get
Speaker 1: this passed, what have they done since? And that's really
Speaker 1: what it comes down to. It's one thing to get
Speaker 1: something passed right, It's another thing to keep up the
Speaker 1: full core press and in my opinion, we just haven't
Speaker 1: seen that. So when it comes to Judge Presca and
Speaker 1: the rulings, I'm all for it because Judge Presca, she's
Speaker 1: not messing around. Maxwell's sixty four, was convicted in December
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one of sex trafficking and other crimes
Speaker 1: and later sentenced to twenty years in Roberts, who was
Speaker 1: found dead in April of twenty twenty five at her
Speaker 1: home in Western Australia, struggled in the final years of
Speaker 1: her life after being seriously hurt in a car crash
Speaker 1: and separating from her husband. According to reports, she was
Speaker 1: forty one years old. The fact that these files aren't
Speaker 1: unsealed is just unbelievable, and the hoops that people have
Speaker 1: to jump through to get the information that should already
Speaker 1: be out there is one of the biggest tells. You know,
Speaker 1: people want to talk about cover up here and cover
Speaker 1: up there, and you know conspiracy. Well here it is.
Speaker 1: This is it. It's happening in real time, right in
Speaker 1: front of our faces, and there's still people that refuse
Speaker 1: to accept it. And I just don't get it, Like,
Speaker 1: what could the motivation be for trying to downplay this?
Speaker 1: I mean outside of political motivation, right, I get why
Speaker 1: Donald Trump will want to downplay it. It's damaging to him,
Speaker 1: but regular people, I mean, how could anyone look at
Speaker 1: what Epstein was up to, what he was doing, and
Speaker 1: all of the information we have about those crimes and
Speaker 1: say to themselves, ah, you know what, everything's on the
Speaker 1: up and up, man, everything's good here. There's nothing that
Speaker 1: needs any more investigation, nothing that seems amiss, and certainly
Speaker 1: nothing that rises to the level of criminality, because there's
Speaker 1: no way you can arrive at that point if you
Speaker 1: honestly look at all of the evidence that's been provided.
Speaker 1: Of course that doesn't mean you have to believe every element,
Speaker 1: but there's so much here that it's impossible for me
Speaker 1: to understand how someone can look at what Epstein was
Speaker 1: up to, look at the people he was associating with,
Speaker 1: look at their business dealings, and I'll come to the
Speaker 1: conclusion that there is a lot of financial malfeasance at
Speaker 1: the very least. And you might not think that's a
Speaker 1: big deal compared to the human trafficking, but in my opinion,
Speaker 1: it is not because it's more vile or more disgusting
Speaker 1: or more harmful to the people, but because that's an
Speaker 1: inroad and before you get into the room, you have
Speaker 1: to open the door, and I think that the financial
Speaker 1: aspect of this is the right way to do that. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: we're not going to see it, at least not without
Speaker 1: a fight. And that's also why they want to keep
Speaker 1: all these other documents sealed. Look, these people might be sick,
Speaker 1: but they're not stupid, and they understand that they can't
Speaker 1: have all this stuff coming out if they want to
Speaker 1: control the blast radius. And that's why they're going to
Speaker 1: fight with every ounce of their being to make sure
Speaker 1: that this stuff never sees the light of day. And
Speaker 1: that's also why they want you to move on. The
Speaker 1: question is will you give them what they want all
