Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Epstein Chronicles. Yesterday, Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche had a
closed door meeting with the committee overseeing the Epstein scandal,
and of course it evolved into an absolute shit show,
just as expected. We don't have a serious person in
the whole last room, Congress, Blanche, Bondie, none of these
people are serious, and they're turning this whole entire thing
into nothing more than a circus. All they care about
sagatcha moment. And it's unfortunate, but that is the way
our political structure is set up at this point. All
these people want to be influencers. They spend more time
on Twitter than they do writing bills, so we shouldn't
be shocked to see that it evolved into an absolute circus.
You have one side saying that there's a gigantic cover up,
which I do agree with, and then of course you
have Bondi and Blanche saying that this whole entire thing
is nothing more than a hit job and that the
whole motivation is to take down Donald Trump. That's the
counter narrative, right, and it's effective. It has been an
effective message to the base. And when you have the
Democrats get up and walk out of one of these meetings,
it looks like it's performative. Your job is to sit
in there and listen and hold people accountable, not get
up and walk out and protest. I'm so tired of it,
and this is why I was against it being a
closed door meeting in the first place. Why do we
have a closed door meeting? This should be public so
the American people held the world can see what's going on.
That way, we can't be gas lit or lied to
by either side, because that's what's going on. Both sides
are trying to control the narrative. Both sides are trying
to wield the narrative as a cudgel against their opponents. Meanwhile,
the survivors are stuck in the middle, once again being
forgotten about. But why should that matter as long as
these politicians get the grandstand and act like they care.
Today's article is from CBS News and the headline House
Democrats walk out of tense briefing with Bondie over Epstein files,
calling it a fake hearing. This article was authored by
Joe Walsh. A group of House Democrats walked out of
a closed door briefing with Attorney General Pam Bondi on
the Jeffrey Epstein probe late Wednesday, as tensions over Justice
departments handling of the Epstein case continue to simmer. The
face off took place one day after the chair of
the House Oversight Committee, Republican Representative James Comer of Kentucky,
subpoenaed Bondi to testify about Epstein next month. Long time coming.
But do you really think it's gonna matter? Do you
think Pam Bondy is gonna tell us anything? Or do
you think think she's going to play the same games
that she played before. I think that she's going to
play the same games, and that's because I don't think
she can tell the truth at this point because it
would out them and it would destroy their cover up.
So you just have to keep doubling down. And I
think for Paum Bondi that's gonna prove disastrous later on
down the road. Do these people really think they're gonna
get away with all of this, that they're gonna cover
this all up and nobody's gonna dig deeper later on
down the road, Because that's definitely gonna happen, And Honestly,
at this point, I doubt any of the perpetrators, as
far as the people that were with Epstein doing the
most handeous crimes, are ever going to be held accountable.
But the people that engaged in the cover up the
paper trail people, well, you can't depend on the Statute
of Limitations to protect you. You can't depend on the
evidence going away, and you certainly can't count on the
fact that we're gonna forget. We are not going to forget.
This is the ultimate betrayal. What's happening with Jeffrey Epstein,
as far as I'm concerned, is the ultimate betrayal. These
people have one job to protect the most vulnerable amongst us,
and they can't even do that. But sure, let's engage
in some war halfway across the world. Sounds like a
great idea. Bondie and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche went
to Capitol Hill on Wednesday to meet with members of
the panel. Less than an hour later, Democrats left the room. Look,
that's not the right way to do it. Storming out
of the room throwing a fit a tantruom not a
good look. And I understand it's frustrating, right nobody wants
to sit there and be lied to. But as a lawmaker,
you have to push back against that shit. Could you
imagine Benjamin Franklin walking out of a congressional meeting. Never happen.
You have to push back. You have to be firm,
pushback and and accountability. That's your job and if you're
not capable of doing it, then you should be voted out.
But for whatever crazy reason, we keep sending these incumbents
back to DC and we keep getting the same results.
What did you think they were gonna change because they
told you that on the campaign trail. Oh, this time
is going to be different. I'm a different guy. I
heard you, I'm listening to you, and we're gonna do
better get elected. That's the same shit. The committee's top Democrat, representative,
Robert Garcia of California, told reporters that Bondi did not
commit to honoring the panel subpoena. He called wednesday session
a fake hearing, adding that Bondi wasn't under oath and
did not give an opening statement. Wow, you know, I
am inclined to believe them, as shocking as that may be,
because Pam Bondi has shown us who she is in
public already. So if she's not under oath and she's
at this hearing, do you really think she's going to
be forthcoming? She's going to all of a sudden be
helpful and care about what's going on. Zero chance. So
as far as it being a quote unquote fake hearing,
I agree with that. If she's not under oath, forget it.
She's not going to tell you the truth. Even when
she was under oath, she was out here playing games.
So what makes you think when she's not under oath
she's gonna be forthcoming and tell the truth. It's outrageous,
it's infuriating, and it continues this White House cover up
of the Epstein files. Garcia said, we're not going to
take that anymore. Well, what is it exactly that you
plan on doing, mister Garcia? Have you even talked about
a special counsel yet or maybe a tribunal of some sort?
How about the DOJ getting rid of the NPA? Have
we had that conversation? So what exactly is it that
you're not gonna take anymore? And is this a twisted
sister video? Now we're not going to take it only
to turn around and take it These people talk a
big game, all of them. Very few of them ever
come through. Another Democrat, Representative, Maxwell Frost of Florida, called
it a fake deposition where no one can see what's
going on, noting the lack of c SPAN cameras for
the closed door meeting. Well, I don't think there should
be a closed door meeting unless it has to do
with national security, Like, what are we doing here? Why
are my tax dollars being used for closed door meetings?
Maybe I should learn a different language and say this
in a different language. I do not trust the Department
of Justice or Congress to tell us the truth. Everything
has to be open door. Everything has to be transparent,
completely and fully. They have lost the benefit of the doubt,
at least as far as I'm concerned. Now, if you
want to trust them, you want to believe them, that's
up to you. But the days of me being dog
walked by politicians are long over. Comer meanwhile, suggested the
walkout was premeditated and part of a political game. And
that's why I would have never walked out if I
was one of the Democrats, because you take away that narrative,
then oh the Democrats stormed out, stay there for the
whole thing and then leave and say, well, that was ridiculous.
I just wasted X amount of time in my life
to be lied to once again by Pam Bondy. But
if you storm out in the middle of it, you
give them a narrative. They came out clutching their pearls,
complaining that she wasn't answering questions. He said, the first
three people to ask questions, all they did was complain.
Comer is such a clown. And it's amazing to me
how many of these people are willing to burn their
political careers in order to further this cover up. Like
it's unbelievable to me, because make no mistake, this is
attached to them for the rest of their political careers.
What do you think Comer is just going to fade
into oblivion. He's going to run again and wait and
see the ads that are put up against them. James
Comer protecting pedophiles and not your children. I can hear
the ads now. At one point during the hearing, there
was a verbal argument between Comer and Democratic Representative Summerly
of Pennsylvania. Both lawmakers acknowledged, of course there was, because
it's about them. It's almost hard to quantify the amount
of ego that was in that room. Leetol reporters that
she asked Comer if he will compel Bondi to comply
with the subpoena and initiate proceedings to hold her in
contempt of Congress if she doesn't show up, and instead
of answering as an adult, he said that I was bitching. Well,
it's a good question, will you hold her in contempt
or not? The answer is probably know because Donald Trump
would lose his shit and none of these Republicans can
have that right. Last thing they want to do is
turn into the new Joe Kent and have every fucking
MAGA person in the world call you a trader. And look,
I don't know if Joe Kent leaked information or not.
Nobody does besides Joe Kent and maybe the investigators. But
my point is how quickly people will turn and all
of a sudden, you go from hero to zero in
point three seconds. Just ask Marjorie Taylor Green. And if
there's not complete compliance, forget it. You're going to be
the next one up. And these members of the committee
that are also in the GOP, they know that and
instead of having the courage like Marjorie Taylor Green or
Thomas Massey. They just go along to get along. But
I think deep in their guts they know that what
they're doing is wrong, and what they're doing is disgusting.
Comer confirmed that interaction, saying Lee was just complaining about
the format. He later wrote on x I said Democrats
were bitching and wasting everyone's time. Because Democrats were bitching
and wasting everyone's time, sort of like this bogus ass
investigation that you're heading up here, mister Comer, you know,
a waste of everybody's time. Ask whether she will comply
with the subpoena. Bondi said after the briefing that she
made a crystal clear I will follow the law, a
response that Garcia called inadequate. Bondi also criticized democrats walkout.
But did she talk about the doo. That's what everybody
needs to know about, right, the doo, the doo, the tao.
One congress woman screamed, Cespan wasn't in there, so she
didn't want to ask questions. Yet all day long, they've
been on social media saying they had all these questions.
Bondi said, is Pambondi for real, as if she'd answer
any of the questions anyway. It's all a big game
to these people, I'm telling you right now, Bondi has
been in the middle of this Epstein shit since Florida,
so she can save the BS for somebody else. CBS
News has reached out to the Justice Department for comment.
The incident underscores how caustic the Epstein issue has become.
The Justice Department has faced years of intense questions over
its handling of the disgraced financier who avoided federal charges
for child sex crimes until twenty nineteen, when he was
indicted or sex trafficking but died by suicide allegedly in jail,
drawing public fascination and conspiracy theories. Well keep that in mind, okay.
Up until recently, outlets like CBS call this whole thing
a conspiracy theory, and they still haven't learned their lesson.
The Department has released millions of government files on Epstein
in recent months, spanning multiple federal investigations into him, and
is convicted associate you mean, co conspirator, right, fellow child abuser,
general scumbag and bipedal serpent That's what you mean, right,
Glenn Maxwell. After Congress passed the law late last year
requiring it to publish its files on EPSTEIN, members of
both parties have criticized the Justice Department's handling of the
files release, arguing that some files were inappropriately withheld or
excessively redacted. Some sexual abuse survivors also say their personal
information was exposed. The Department has offended its release process,
saying that hundreds of lawyers poured through the files to
check for survivors' names and have taken documents down when
there are redaction mistakes. Oh yeah, they've done a fantastic job.
They should all get raises. In fact, they should all
get bus made and they should be put in the Smithsonian.
Are they for real right now patting themselves on the
back for this piss poor job. Democrats have accused Bondie
of engaging in a cover up. Well, I'm not a Democrat.
I can promise you that, and I'm telling you they're
engaging in a cover up. We want her under oath
because we don't trust her, Frost said Wednesday evening. Comer
said that Republicans are committed to carrying out a serious
investigation and want to work with the Justice Department to
get answers. Does it look like a cover up? He
said the Attorney General, Blanche and all the top brass
at the DOJ. We're in here to answer questions, and
yet they don't ask a single question. Comer is such
a clown. Holy cow. I honestly don't know if there's
a bigger moron than James Comer. So the whole entire thing,
like I've told you from the jump, is a gigantic circus.
And unfortunately it's all by design. And if it wasn't
for the discharge petition, forget it, they would have killed
this story so quick that it would have made your headspin.
But thankfully we're in a place now where James Comer
can't really do that. Now he can muck things up
like he's been doing and be an absolute tool. But
at the end of the day, the law is the law,
and if the DOJ doesn't abide by that law, at
some point, that bill is gonna come do and folks,
you're a boy will be here for it, all right,
That's gonna do it for this one. All the information
