1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. 2 00:00:05,879 --> 00:00:09,960 Back in twenty nineteen, when the Jeffrey Epstein case was 3 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,839 exploding for the second time, all we heard about was 4 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:19,960 Alexander Acosta. This Alexander Acosta that, as if Alexander Acosta 5 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:27,199 was mister primetime and mister powerful. Meanwhile, Alexander Acosta was 6 00:00:27,239 --> 00:00:30,320 nothing more than a yes man with a slinky for 7 00:00:30,399 --> 00:00:34,359 a spine, But somehow he was elevated to the arch 8 00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:38,200 criminal of this whole entire or deal. Well, folks, I 9 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,920 have news for you. He is not the arch criminal, 10 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,119 and he is not the mastermind behind Jeffrey Epstein's sweetheart deal. 11 00:00:45,679 --> 00:00:48,280 He's the fall guy. He was the guy that happened 12 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,799 to be in charge in Florida when his bosses told 13 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,439 him to make this deal. He didn't just wake up 14 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,719 and say to himself, you know what, I'm gonna give 15 00:00:55,719 --> 00:00:58,560 Epstein this sweetheart deal and I'm not gonna tell anybody 16 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,640 else about it. Remember, his boss has had to sign 17 00:01:01,719 --> 00:01:04,200 off on it, and anybody who's ever worked in a 18 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,000 bureaucracy knows that middle management does not have the power 19 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,719 to do anything. Now, let's hit fast forward to twenty 20 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,560 twenty three, and let's talk about Stacey Plaskett, you know, 21 00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:20,799 miss US Virgin Islands herself. Well, more information's coming out 22 00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:24,840 now about Jeffrey Epstein and his relationship with Stacy Plaskett 23 00:01:24,879 --> 00:01:27,239 and how he helped her pull off one of the 24 00:01:27,359 --> 00:01:32,799 hugest upsets in US Virgin Islands political history. Today's article 25 00:01:32,879 --> 00:01:36,719 is from the Insider headline how Jeffrey Epstein turned the 26 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,840 US Virgin Islands into a pedophile's playground and helped elect 27 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,239 a sitting member of Congress. This article was authored by 28 00:01:45,359 --> 00:01:49,159 Jacob Shamsy in Now, how in the hell does somebody 29 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,959 connected to Jeffrey Epstein get a prominent position on the 30 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,879 January sixth committee? Can somebody please explain that to me? 31 00:01:57,719 --> 00:02:00,519 If anything, Stacy Plaskett should have been sitting on the 32 00:02:00,519 --> 00:02:04,400 other side of a commission answering questions about her relationship 33 00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:07,920 with Jeffrey Epstein. But considering we live in a world 34 00:02:07,959 --> 00:02:12,800 that's upside down and driven purely on party politics, that 35 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:18,159 didn't occur. It was twenty eighteen and Representative Stacy Plaskett 36 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,800 was running for reelection in Congress. She expected to win 37 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,759 a third term easily, running unopposed in both the Democratic 38 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,919 primary and the general election. Nothing like having some choice, 39 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,199 huh down in the US Virgin Islands somebody who took 40 00:02:33,199 --> 00:02:37,120 money from Epstein or nobody else. Hell of a choice 41 00:02:37,159 --> 00:02:39,680 down there in the USVII. Maybe they can use some 42 00:02:39,719 --> 00:02:42,159 of that one hundred and five million that day Pilford 43 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,639 to get things in order down on the island. But 44 00:02:44,759 --> 00:02:47,840 somehow I have a funny feeling that that money is 45 00:02:47,879 --> 00:02:50,599 never gonna make its way to the people of the 46 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:55,479 Virgin Islands. The US Virgin Islands, where Plasket is from, 47 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,719 doesn't have normal congressional representation like Washington, D D and 48 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,439 Puerto Rico. It has a non voting delegate. She can 49 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,919 serve on committees, but doesn't have any say when the 50 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,840 full House of Representatives votes on a bill. But meanwhile 51 00:03:11,879 --> 00:03:14,199 she has to say of sitting on that J six 52 00:03:14,199 --> 00:03:18,439 commission that's never sat right with me. Imagine having Acosta 53 00:03:18,599 --> 00:03:21,120 sitting on that commission. How would you feel about that? 54 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,400 And if you're okay with one but not the other, 55 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,159 then you, my friend, are part of the problem. One 56 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,000 part of her job, however, is the same as that 57 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,080 of every other Democrat in Congress. She's expected to fundraise 58 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:39,280 for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee that year's campaign cycle. 59 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,280 The committee gave her a target of around two hundred 60 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,919 and fifty thousand dollars to raise for the organization, which 61 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,319 recruits and supports candidates for the party. She said in 62 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,439 a deposition taken earlier this year, Plaskett had a list 63 00:03:53,479 --> 00:03:56,919 of people to ask for money. It included previous donors, 64 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,360 alumni and individuals who were interested in the same topics 65 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,840 for which committees I sat on, she said in the deposition. 66 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,639 On that list, she said, was none other than Jeffrey Epstein, 67 00:04:10,759 --> 00:04:15,080 a financier pedophile worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Epstein 68 00:04:15,159 --> 00:04:18,040 owned two islands in the US Virgin Islands. There are 69 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,399 roughly fifty islands overall. His main residence, on the island 70 00:04:22,519 --> 00:04:26,040 off Little Saint James, was lavishly furnished in the style 71 00:04:26,319 --> 00:04:29,680 of a resort. He had even shipped in more sand 72 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,439 and palm trees to make it look exactly as he desired. 73 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,839 Plaskett wanted to persuade Epstein to donate thirty thousand dollars, 74 00:04:38,079 --> 00:04:41,439 the maximum amount an individual could donate to a national 75 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,680 campaign committee at the time. Well, how about that A 76 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,319 night thirty thousand dollars donation solicited from Jeffrey Epstein after 77 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,600 he was already a convicted pedophile. There was just one 78 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,800 issue for Plasket, and it wasn't that he was a 79 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,000 convicted sex offender. By the way, Epstein was a convicted 80 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,079 sex offender pleaded guilty eleven years earlier to soliciting sex 81 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,879 from a minor. Law enforcement had separately concluded he sexually 82 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,839 abused scores of underage girls at his home in Palm Beach, Florida. 83 00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:15,480 Plaskett was focused on hitting her two hundred and fifty 84 00:05:15,519 --> 00:05:18,920 thousand dollars goal. So it's just endemic to how broken 85 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,160 the political structure is here in America. They don't care 86 00:05:22,199 --> 00:05:24,600 where they get this money from. And then after they 87 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,120 get it from some undesirable scumbag who ends up getting outed, 88 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,439 they'll say, oh, well, we donated it to this charity 89 00:05:31,639 --> 00:05:34,319 or that charity, and then everybody just drops it and 90 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,040 moves on. Well, not me. I want to know why 91 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,800 you accepted the money in the first place. Is it 92 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,639 really that important that you raise this money for the 93 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,680 Democratic Party? That you're taking money from one of the 94 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,759 biggest human traffickers in history, And if you think it's 95 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,360 okay and you think it's acceptable. Once again, you are 96 00:05:52,399 --> 00:05:56,839 part of the problem. Plaskett was focused on hitting her 97 00:05:56,879 --> 00:06:01,439 two hundred and fifty thousand dollars goal. A donation was 98 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,439 a feasible ask for Epstein. He had donated generously to 99 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:10,519 Democratic politicians from the US Virgin Islands for years. In exchange, 100 00:06:10,759 --> 00:06:14,120 recent court filings say he got three hundred million dollars 101 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,920 in tax incentives and was able to fly girls to 102 00:06:16,959 --> 00:06:20,639 his islands without customs. Batting an eye and just let 103 00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:23,839 that sink in. Just let it sink in that Jeffrey 104 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,800 Epstein had all of these politicians that happened to be 105 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,160 in the Democratic Party down in the US Virgin Islands 106 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,399 in his pocket and their enabling of his bullshit directly 107 00:06:34,519 --> 00:06:37,560 led to these girls being abused. Now tell me how 108 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,399 you can support Stacy Plaskett as a politician, and if 109 00:06:41,439 --> 00:06:45,519 you still do, once again, you're part of the problem. 110 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,720 With the assistance of the US Virgin Islands first Lady, 111 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:54,199 Epstein navigated the territory's political waters unscathed. He weighed in 112 00:06:54,399 --> 00:06:57,800 on an overhaul of sex offender laws, considered putting a 113 00:06:57,879 --> 00:07:01,399 lawmaker on retainer, and made a Customs Office looked the 114 00:07:01,439 --> 00:07:05,040 other way by simply buying all seventy eight staff members 115 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,240 turkeys for Thanksgiving. Court filings say, what is he? Nino 116 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,399 Brown from New Jack City shows up with a truck 117 00:07:12,439 --> 00:07:14,360 full of turkeys and gives them out to all the 118 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,560 crackheads and poor people. But in this instance, the crackheads 119 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,439 and the poor people happened to be the politicians that 120 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,959 were on the take. After all, Plaskett had taken Epstein's 121 00:07:24,959 --> 00:07:28,519 money before for her own campaign. Earlier last year, on 122 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:33,480 July twelfth, Plasket sent an email to Epstein's assistant Leslie Groff, 123 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,519 inviting the pedophile to a fundraiser for her campaign. She 124 00:07:37,639 --> 00:07:43,360 said she would be grateful for whatever support Epstein could provide. Hello, everybody, 125 00:07:43,399 --> 00:07:46,160 are you paying attention? This same lady that was up 126 00:07:46,199 --> 00:07:50,199 there on her ivory tower talking about people being terrorists 127 00:07:50,519 --> 00:07:53,879 is over here inviting a pedophile to her fundraiser. If 128 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,439 you don't see the problem with that, then I can't 129 00:07:56,439 --> 00:08:00,560 help you. Epstein responded just two minutes later, and is 130 00:08:00,639 --> 00:08:05,160 typically typo mard prose. Epstein always had typos in like 131 00:08:05,279 --> 00:08:08,439 every single email. And he's one of these so called 132 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,680 smart people who don't know how to spell. He wrote, 133 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,560 get maximum amounts aloud, so basically saying that's what he'll do. 134 00:08:16,639 --> 00:08:21,839 He'll get maximum amounts allowed for Stacy Plasket. We would 135 00:08:21,879 --> 00:08:25,839 have a friend in Stacey. Epstein kept up the generosity. 136 00:08:26,199 --> 00:08:30,399 In September that year, a consultant on Plasket's campaign invited 137 00:08:30,439 --> 00:08:34,120 Epstein to two dinners on Saint Thomas and Saint Croix, 138 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,480 the two main islands in the US Virgin Islands. Emails 139 00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:41,600 show Epstein swiftly promised he would donate the max but 140 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,679 said he didn't want his name attached, and Plaskett was 141 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,080 cool with it. Yeah, that's cool, don't attach your name. 142 00:08:47,159 --> 00:08:50,080 We'll take your money anyway, even though you're a pedophile. 143 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,759 At some point in the fall of twenty eighteen, Plasket 144 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:58,480 visited Epstein at his Manhattan mansion. Plasket said Groff greeted 145 00:08:58,519 --> 00:09:01,480 her at the foyer and brought to Epstein, who was 146 00:09:01,519 --> 00:09:04,679 sitting at a long dining room table. He agreed to 147 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,879 give the full thirty thousand dollars that Plaskett had asked 148 00:09:07,919 --> 00:09:12,440 him to donate to the Democratic Party. The committee ended 149 00:09:12,519 --> 00:09:16,000 up rejecting the donation. Yeah, well, the smartest thing they did. 150 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,320 But what Stacey Plaskett's excuse he had not passed their vetting. 151 00:09:20,519 --> 00:09:23,279 Plasket said in the deposition, I was informed by my 152 00:09:23,399 --> 00:09:27,679 chief of staff that the DCCC informed him that mister 153 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:33,639 Epstein's contribution would not be accepted by the DCCC. A 154 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,679 representative for Plaskett didn't respond to multiple requests for comment, 155 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,600 So that's certainly a good sign from the DCCC. They 156 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,080 can hang their hat on that. But Plaskett, on the 157 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,120 other hand, she has no excuse, and there's no amount 158 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,200 of gas lighting or misdirection that I'm going to accept 159 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:55,279 from anybody until this lady is really called on the carpet. 160 00:09:55,639 --> 00:09:59,559 Just a few months after Plasket's twenty eighteen reelection, federal 161 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,440 prosecut in Manhattan brought a sex trafficking indictment against them. 162 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,320 He died in jail in twenty nineteen while awaiting trial, 163 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,440 so he had no other chance to donate to one 164 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,600 of Plasket's campaigns. She did, however, accept money from him 165 00:10:14,799 --> 00:10:20,000 on previous occasions. Epstein donated five four hundred dollars to 166 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,799 plaskets campaigns in the twenty sixteen campaign cycle, hitting the 167 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:29,639 contribution limits for the primary and general elections. Federal Election 168 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,679 Commission record show he maxed out his donations to her 169 00:10:33,759 --> 00:10:37,759 unopposed campaign in the twenty eighteen cycle as well. So 170 00:10:37,799 --> 00:10:40,720 she's running unopposed, why does she need these donations? Oh, 171 00:10:40,759 --> 00:10:43,799 that's right, she's gonna pocket it. Right. Let's not make 172 00:10:43,879 --> 00:10:48,240 pretend that it's only some politicians who are corrupt. Anybody 173 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,799 who goes to DC and they have a net worth 174 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,519 of insert six figures here or whatever, and then they 175 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,200 leave there as millionaires, Well, I have to tell you 176 00:10:57,399 --> 00:10:59,840 they're corrupt because they're only making a little bit of 177 00:11:00,879 --> 00:11:03,960 How are you leaving there a millionaire? Five times over? 178 00:11:04,159 --> 00:11:07,519 If you showed up, they're broke. His financial support of 179 00:11:07,519 --> 00:11:11,759 Plaskett's political career stretched back to twenty fourteen, the first 180 00:11:11,879 --> 00:11:14,440 year she won a seat in the House. It was 181 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,559 a close campaign in the Democratic Party primary. Plaskett, then 182 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,919 a lawyer for the Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority, was 183 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,519 running against Sewn Michael Malone, who held a powerful perch 184 00:11:26,639 --> 00:11:30,600 as the president of the US Virgin Islands Senate. So 185 00:11:30,639 --> 00:11:33,559 she was an up start running against this guy who 186 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,919 was entrenched in party politics. Do you really think she 187 00:11:36,919 --> 00:11:39,720 could have won without the support of people like Epstein. 188 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,480 At that time, Epstein was getting political advice from Cecil 189 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,440 du Jong, the First Lady of the US Virgin Islands. 190 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,559 Her husband, John DeJong Junior, served as governor from two 191 00:11:51,639 --> 00:11:55,639 thousand and seven to twenty fifteen. In addition to her 192 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,279 duties as First Lady, Cecil de Jong had a day 193 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,759 job at the Son Trust Company. Epstein claimed to use 194 00:12:02,799 --> 00:12:07,799 the corporation for his philanthropic foundations, though several lawsuits have 195 00:12:07,919 --> 00:12:12,080 alleged it served as a vehicle for his sex trafficking operation. 196 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,000 Well yeah, and it also served as a nice spot 197 00:12:16,159 --> 00:12:19,240 for him to color up some of that laundered money. 198 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,080 Epstein appeared to be a generous employer, paying tuition for 199 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,639 Dejong's children in addition to her salary. Court record show 200 00:12:28,159 --> 00:12:32,120 a representative for DeJong declined to make her available to comment. 201 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,759 So you think he just did that because he was 202 00:12:35,039 --> 00:12:37,080 a great guy, or was he trying to buy a 203 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,799 political favor from her husband. You don't have to be 204 00:12:40,879 --> 00:12:44,159 a great investigator here. You just have to be somebody 205 00:12:44,279 --> 00:12:46,759 who is willing to look at this story and be 206 00:12:46,879 --> 00:12:51,600 honest with how corrupt everybody involved is. And the second 207 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,120 you stop looking at it through the frame or the 208 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,960 lens of this political party, or that then you're going 209 00:12:58,039 --> 00:13:01,840 to realize that the whole entire thing is rotten and 210 00:13:01,879 --> 00:13:05,240 that ivory tower that all of these politicians stand on 211 00:13:05,639 --> 00:13:10,759 is really built on a foundation of quicksand Malone. Dejean 212 00:13:11,039 --> 00:13:14,519 wrote in a June twenty fourteen email to Epstein was 213 00:13:14,639 --> 00:13:18,840 no fan of the financier pedophile. Dejeong pleaded for Epstein 214 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,320 to donate the Plaskets campaign and to ask his rich 215 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,960 friends to contribute more money. Malone, she said, had criticized 216 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,279 Epstein at a recent hearing. Sean is the one who 217 00:13:30,279 --> 00:13:33,360 came after you in the Senate hearing last week, she wrote. 218 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,559 He is nasty and needs to be defeated. We would 219 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,759 have a friend in Stacy Well, isn't that nice? Got 220 00:13:39,799 --> 00:13:44,120 yourselves a little friend in Stacy Plaskett. Jeffrey Epstein's defender 221 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,840 is Buddy All for the short price of selling your soul. 222 00:13:48,919 --> 00:13:53,120 Epstein assented and offered the names of several associates who 223 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:58,200 might donate as well. Among those suggestions was Groff, along 224 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,120 with Epstein's lawyers Darren Dai and Richard Kahn, who became 225 00:14:02,159 --> 00:14:05,759 his estate executors when he died. Five years later, all 226 00:14:05,799 --> 00:14:09,879 of them donated the Plaskets campaign. FEC records reviewed by 227 00:14:09,919 --> 00:14:12,840 Insiders show, now, do you think they donated their money 228 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,120 or do you think they donated Jeffrey Epstein's money? So 229 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,360 did Plaskett and her campaign return all of that money 230 00:14:19,399 --> 00:14:23,919 as well? There's no evidence that Epstein reimbursed his associates 231 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,639 for their donations, but the remarks raised red flags for 232 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:32,200 Stuart mcphel, a lawyer for the government ethics watchdog Citizens 233 00:14:32,399 --> 00:14:36,840 for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. I mean, come on, really, 234 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,399 no evidence. Okay, fine, no evidence, So it just didn't happen. Huh, 235 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,120 there's no evidence because the scumbags that are in power 236 00:14:45,559 --> 00:14:49,720 have decided that it doesn't warrant the proper look. You 237 00:14:49,759 --> 00:14:53,320 want evidence, make it a Rico case, and I promise you, 238 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,600 ever you last one of these people will be painted 239 00:14:56,759 --> 00:14:59,039 with the scarlet letter. And that's why it's not a 240 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:04,600 Rico case. R Kelly Rico, Mark Rainiery Rico, everybody under 241 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:09,519 the sun. Rico, not Epstein, not Maxwell. I'll let you 242 00:15:09,559 --> 00:15:13,919 figure out why. Mcfel told Insider that if Epstein was 243 00:15:14,039 --> 00:15:16,320 using other people to bring more of his own money 244 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,720 into Plasket's campaign. It could amount to a straw donor 245 00:15:19,759 --> 00:15:23,320 scheme and a legal practice of using a conduit to 246 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,519 make political donations on someone's behalf when they've exceeded campaign 247 00:15:27,639 --> 00:15:30,720 finance limits. That's what was going on. Come on, you 248 00:15:30,759 --> 00:15:33,120 think that a guy that was out here molesting kids 249 00:15:33,159 --> 00:15:36,360 really has any kind of compunction about being involved in 250 00:15:36,399 --> 00:15:41,039 a bundling scheme when it comes to political donations. There's 251 00:15:41,159 --> 00:15:43,600 enough here to raise concern, and I think the question 252 00:15:43,679 --> 00:15:46,679 should be asked if these individuals were actually the source, 253 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,240 mcfel said, And if they weren't, if this was actually 254 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,720 Jeffrey Epstein's money that was passed through them, then yes, 255 00:15:54,039 --> 00:15:58,799 that would be an unlawful straw donor violation. Anybody care 256 00:15:59,159 --> 00:16:02,080 about this, I'm I mean anybody out there cared to 257 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,360 put down their resentment of their neighbor for a minute 258 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,240 or of their supposed political enemy for a minute and 259 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,639 realize that they're all screwed up and that none of 260 00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:14,039 them care about you. And all of the people that 261 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,639 were sitting here cheering about Stacy Plaskett and her role 262 00:16:18,159 --> 00:16:20,840 during that committee. Do you still feel the same way? 263 00:16:21,039 --> 00:16:23,840 Do you still think that Stacy Plasket should be some 264 00:16:24,159 --> 00:16:27,440 arbiter of truth. When we're talking about something as serious 265 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,919 as calling people insurrectionists. Somebody that was taking money from 266 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,159 one of the most notorious pedophiles should not be passing 267 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,679 judgment on any other American citizen, Okay, point blank period. 268 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,399 A lawyer representing Endike and Khan said they weren't reimbursed 269 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,279 for the donations. An attorney representing Groff didn't respond to 270 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,360 her request for a comment. Well, I guess I should 271 00:16:51,399 --> 00:16:54,279 just believe what Indike and Khan have to say. Huh. 272 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,600 Those dudes another group of people that should just be 273 00:16:57,759 --> 00:17:01,919 listened to and believed without any ques questioning, said nobody. Ever. 274 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,480 The August twenty fourteen primary was a close race, and 275 00:17:07,519 --> 00:17:10,400 there's no doubt that Epstein's money helped push her across 276 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,920 the finish line. Here. There is no doubt about it. 277 00:17:13,559 --> 00:17:16,960 And my question is is anybody going to recognize this 278 00:17:17,319 --> 00:17:20,319 and is saety Plasket going to face the kind of 279 00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:24,160 scrutiny that say somebody like alex Acosta faced, because she 280 00:17:24,279 --> 00:17:27,119 most certainly should. All Right, folks, that's gonna do it 281 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,640 for part one of this episode. Part two is on 282 00:17:30,759 --> 00:17:33,680 its way. All of the information that goes with the 283 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,680 episode can be found in the description box.
