1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,080 Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:07,480 Epstein Chronicles. As you all know, they set a hard 3 00:00:07,519 --> 00:00:12,080 deadline December nineteenth, written into law about when the Epstein 4 00:00:12,439 --> 00:00:16,399 documents were supposed to be released. And it's not a suggestion, 5 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,800 it's not a courtesy, it's not a convenient footnote. Transparency 6 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,600 on Epstein was not supposed to be optional. It was 7 00:00:23,679 --> 00:00:26,760 mandated because the public has been lied to for decades, 8 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,559 and when the government misses a legal deadline without consequence, 9 00:00:30,839 --> 00:00:34,359 it's not a delay. In fact, it's a statement. It 10 00:00:34,439 --> 00:00:37,679 says that the law is flexible when power is uncomfortable. 11 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,280 It says accountability is conditional. It says victims can wait 12 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:47,119 while institutions continue to protect themselves. And most importantly, it 13 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,759 says the DOJ still believes it answers to itself rather 14 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,240 than the people. Now we're being told there are over 15 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,439 five million documents left to review, sanitize, or a dact 16 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:02,560 process and bless for public incise, that line is supposed 17 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:08,599 to sound industrious, serious and responsible. In reality, it's bureaucratic anesthesia, 18 00:01:09,159 --> 00:01:13,239 designed a dull outrage while nothing meaningfully changes. And I'm 19 00:01:13,239 --> 00:01:16,599 pretty sure that most people agree that five million documents 20 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,719 is not a workload explanation, it's a stall tactic. It's 21 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,239 a number that's so large it discourages follow up questions. 22 00:01:25,239 --> 00:01:27,959 It's like the modern equivalent of saying the check is 23 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:32,120 in the mail and ask yourself, plainly, does anyone actually 24 00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:35,280 believe they woke up on December nineteenth surprised by the 25 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:40,239 size of the Epstein archive. This material didn't materialize overnight, 26 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,040 like a bad weather system. The DOJ has had years, 27 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,599 not weeks, to prepare for this moment. They knew transparency 28 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,879 was coming because Congress forced it to come. So when 29 00:01:50,879 --> 00:01:54,120 the pressure builds, the response is always the same, redirect 30 00:01:54,159 --> 00:01:58,599 a narrative. Suddenly the media cycle pivots hard to geo politics, 31 00:01:58,799 --> 00:02:03,239 regime threats for villains and looming conflicts. And look, the 32 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,040 timing is never accidental, no matter how much they want 33 00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:09,400 you to believe it is. Outrage has a half life, 34 00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:13,560 and they manage it the way corporations manage pr crisis, 35 00:02:14,039 --> 00:02:18,199 flood the zone with something louder, scarier, and emotionally immediate. 36 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:25,479 Epstein's a slow burn about accountability, but geopolitics that's instant adrenaline. Now, 37 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,960 of course, Venezuela has become the shiny object, the pressure valve, 38 00:02:30,199 --> 00:02:33,680 the emergency broadcast that demands attention. And to be clear, 39 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:40,759 authoritarian regimes deserve scrutiny, criticism, and exposure. But selective urgency 40 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,560 is a tell and narrative whiplash is not foreign policy. 41 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,560 It's crowd control. You don't have to like Madero to 42 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,360 recognize when his name was being used as narrative camouflage. 43 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,360 The question is not whether Venezuela matters, it's why it 44 00:02:56,439 --> 00:03:00,879 matters right now, at this exact moment. Look, the tactic 45 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:05,560 is old, reliable, and insulting in its simplicity. When domestic 46 00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:10,919 accountability threatens powerful people, external conflict suddenly dominates the conversation. 47 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,280 It happened during prior scandals, it happened during wars launched 48 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,840 on thin pretenses, and it's happening again. Now. Call it 49 00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:22,039 a distraction, call it a diversion. I call it what 50 00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:25,560 it is. Wagging the dog. And the bones of this 51 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,479 playbook are visible because they've been used so many times, 52 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:34,479 they're worn smooth. And yes, any administration tied even indirectly 53 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,639 to Epstein benefits from that distraction. Doesn't matter whether the 54 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:44,439 connection is social, legal, financial, or reputational Epstein is radioactive 55 00:03:44,719 --> 00:03:49,639 and proximity burns. Every day the files remain sealed is 56 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,639 the day reputations remain intact. And I think that what 57 00:03:52,759 --> 00:03:56,159 infuriates people that are paying attention is this your audacity 58 00:03:56,159 --> 00:03:59,919 of pretending that this is normal, miss the deadline, shrug 59 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,800 issue of vague statement, and hope that the audience moves 60 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,840 on now. The strategy only works if no one refuses 61 00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:09,680 to move on. It only works if everyone accepts that 62 00:04:09,879 --> 00:04:13,360 justice operates on a schedule convenient to those in charge. 63 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,240 And it only works if voices stop applying pressure. And 64 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,879 that's why, in my opinion, staying on this story matters 65 00:04:20,879 --> 00:04:24,759 more now than it did before December nineteenth. The failure 66 00:04:24,759 --> 00:04:29,560 to comply is it self evidence of institutional resistance. Deadlines 67 00:04:29,639 --> 00:04:34,399 only matter if someone enforces them. Transparency law only functions 68 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:40,319 if violations carry consequences. Otherwise they exist purely as political theater, 69 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,480 pass to quiet, outrage and ignored wants. Attention drifts. Look, 70 00:04:45,519 --> 00:04:48,800 there's a reason that Epstein terrifies institutions in a way 71 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:56,600 few other criminals ever. Have His operation intersected with money, intelligence, politics, academia, 72 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,839 and global power, and ways that are deeply uncomfortable. This 73 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,600 was not a loan predator operating in the shadows. This 74 00:05:04,759 --> 00:05:08,759 was a network enabled by silence, favors, leverage, and deliberate 75 00:05:08,759 --> 00:05:13,000 blind eyes. Releasing the files threatens not just individuals, but 76 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:18,959 those very systems. Every redaction, every delay, every ongoing review 77 00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:22,959 is a choice. It's a choice about who deserves protection 78 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,120 and who deserves answers. It's a choice about whether the 79 00:05:26,199 --> 00:05:30,439 victims are own truth or merely sympathy. And it's a 80 00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:35,560 choice about whether law applies upward or only downward. And 81 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,759 those choices obviously reveal priorities far more clearly than any 82 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,360 press release. So the idea that this will go away 83 00:05:43,439 --> 00:05:47,879 quietly misunderstands the moment, the public's not asking for rumors 84 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:55,720 or speculation. It's asking for documents. It's asking for names, timelines, correspondence, decisions, 85 00:05:55,759 --> 00:06:00,639 and accountability. And the longer it's withheld, the more obvious 86 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,360 it becomes that the darkness serves someone. Look. Being the 87 00:06:04,399 --> 00:06:07,360 fly in the ointment is not stubbornness. I think it's 88 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,800 the civic duty. When institutions fell. Progress has never come 89 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,319 from polite silence in the face of evasion. It comes 90 00:06:15,319 --> 00:06:19,079 from sustained pressure that refuses to be redirected, and that 91 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,319 pressure is uncomfortable by design. Comfort is the enemy of reform. 92 00:06:24,519 --> 00:06:27,959 And look, burning the ships means understanding that there is 93 00:06:27,959 --> 00:06:31,560 no off ramp back to complacency. Once you see how 94 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,319 deeply the story runs, retreat becomes complicity. You can't unknow 95 00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:39,439 the patterns once you recognize it. You can't pretend distraction 96 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,920 equals resolution, and you can't accept delays as good faith 97 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,839 when history proves otherwise. And now you've offered me war 98 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,360 and I've accepted. And war in this context is not 99 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:56,759 metaphorical bravado. It's attrition. It's the grinding conflict between truth 100 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:02,720 and power. It's slow, exhausting and shit deliberately obscured. It's 101 00:07:02,759 --> 00:07:06,879 fun documents, deadlines, court filings, and public attention spans, and 102 00:07:06,959 --> 00:07:10,959 it favors those willing to stay longer than the system expects. 103 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,920 The imagery matters because the stakes are real. This is 104 00:07:15,959 --> 00:07:20,279 not about partisan scorekeeping or political gamesmanship. It's about whether 105 00:07:20,319 --> 00:07:24,240 a criminal empire connected to immense power can be fully exposed. 106 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,279 It's about whether survivors are treated as inconvenient footnotes or 107 00:07:29,519 --> 00:07:33,959 as the reason transparency exists. It's about whether the rule 108 00:07:33,959 --> 00:07:38,920 of law has teeth or just ceremonial language. So every 109 00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:42,879 attempt to redirect the conversation confirms the importance of refusing 110 00:07:42,879 --> 00:07:46,439 to let it move. As I've told you a million times, 111 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,199 if Epstein were truly resolved, there would be no fear 112 00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:53,240 of disclosure. If the story were truly finished, documents will 113 00:07:53,279 --> 00:07:57,360 not be treated like classified weapons. The resistance itself is 114 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,399 the signal, So no, oh, shiny objects are not going 115 00:08:01,439 --> 00:08:05,959 to work here. Military adventurism won't rewrite deadlines, foreign villains 116 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,439 won't erase domestic failures, and narrative pivots won't satisfy a 117 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:15,279 public that understands it's being managed rather than informed. The 118 00:08:15,319 --> 00:08:17,839 war is not on a battlefield. It's in whether the 119 00:08:17,879 --> 00:08:22,199 truth is finally forced into the open. This fight continues 120 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,800 because it has to. It continues because delay has become policy. 121 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,079 It continues because silence has been rewarded for too long, 122 00:08:32,039 --> 00:08:35,000 And it continues because justice does not arrive on its 123 00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:39,000 own timetable when those in charge are invested in its absence. 124 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,159 The Epstein files are not going away, and neither is 125 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,320 the demand for full disclosure. And that's the part that 126 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,240 they still don't seem to understand that this isn't about 127 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,679 whether they eventually release something. It's about the fact that 128 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,039 they missed the line in the sand and then acted 129 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,639 like the sand moved. December nineteenth came and went and 130 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:04,120 nothing happened. No reckoning, no explanation, no emergency disclosure, just 131 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,919 to shrug, wrapped in bureaucratic language and a few documents. 132 00:09:08,279 --> 00:09:10,679 Once you cross that point, you don't get to reset 133 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,000 the clock with a press line about ongoing review. You 134 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,720 don't get to pretend the law was aspirational instead of mandatory. 135 00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:20,879 Because the second they missed that deadline, the fight changed 136 00:09:21,159 --> 00:09:25,000 to stop being about transparency and became an authority issue. 137 00:09:25,399 --> 00:09:29,080 Who enforces the law when the enforcers ignore it. Who 138 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,799 compels compliance when the Department of Justice decides it doesn't 139 00:09:32,799 --> 00:09:37,080 feel like complying. That's the real question sitting underneath all 140 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,279 of this, and it's why no amount of foreign policy 141 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,240 noise is going to smother it. And let's be honest 142 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,799 about why the files still matters so much. It's not 143 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,799 because anyone expects a single smoking gun that magically fixes everything. 144 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,000 It's because the documents show process. They show who stalled, 145 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,240 who deferred, who rerouted, who overruled, who signed off, and 146 00:10:00,039 --> 00:10:04,200 who look the other way. They show how Epstein didn't 147 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,200 beat the system, how he was absorbed by it, protected 148 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,360 by it, and ultimately neutralized as a threat to the 149 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,320 people who mattered most. And that's why this can't be 150 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,120 allowed to stretch into infinity. Every month that passes gives 151 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,960 covered to the same people who've always relied on time 152 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,200 to do the dirty work for them. Memories fade, careers 153 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,360 and quietly, records get boxed up, and suddenly we're told 154 00:10:27,399 --> 00:10:31,080 the moment is passed. So no, there's no exit ramp 155 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,159 here and no cooling off period. The law set the terms, 156 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,399 they violated them, and now they own that violation until 157 00:10:38,399 --> 00:10:41,360 the Epstein files are released in full and without games. 158 00:10:41,639 --> 00:10:44,279 This does not end, and it doesn't soften, and it 159 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,919 doesn't get redirected. They can call it pressure, they can 160 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,879 call it noise, they can call it whatever helps them sleep. 161 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,840 But I'm gonna call it what it is, unfinished business 162 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,720 and a war that they started by assuming everyone would 163 00:10:58,759 --> 00:11:02,200 eventually shut up. All of the information that goes with 164 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,279 this episode can be found in the description box. What's up, everyone, 165 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,919 and Welcome to another episode of the Epstein chronicles. As 166 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,720 we continue to wait for the DOJ to follow the 167 00:11:13,799 --> 00:11:17,559 law that was passed by Congress and signed by the President, 168 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,799 all we're getting from them is more excuses about why 169 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,679 the files haven't been released. And now we're hearing from 170 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,559 the DOJ in a new filing to Judge Ingelmeyer that 171 00:11:29,639 --> 00:11:33,159 there's more than two million documents that still haven't been reviewed, 172 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,360 and they have the audacity to try to use that 173 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,600 as some kind of defense as to why they're dragging 174 00:11:38,639 --> 00:11:42,120 their feet when it comes to releasing the files. And 175 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,039 this has always been the plan. I told you from 176 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,159 the very beginning what they were going to do. They're 177 00:11:46,159 --> 00:11:48,720 trying to exhaust you. They want you to focus on 178 00:11:48,799 --> 00:11:52,519 other things. They want the new shiny object to steal 179 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,919 all your attention, and that new shiny object is Venezuela. 180 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,279 And what they hope is that everybody's so focused on 181 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,080 what's going on with Venezuela and with the fallout in 182 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,559 the aftermath, that nobody is going to be focusing on 183 00:12:05,639 --> 00:12:09,320 what's going on with the DOJ and the Epstein Maelstrom 184 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,320 that is still roiling over DC. And I think they're 185 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,399 making a big mistake if they think that's going to 186 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:19,279 occur because way too many people are way too invested 187 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,279 at this point to just ignore what's going on, throw 188 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,480 up their hands and give up and say, you know what, 189 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,440 I guess the DOJ is telling us the truth. After all, 190 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,519 that's just never going to happen. So they can throw 191 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,320 as many roadblocks up as they want, they can use 192 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,000 as many distractions as they can get their hands on. 193 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,720 But at the end of the day, the people who 194 00:12:39,759 --> 00:12:43,600 are following this story, they're hip to the tricks. We've 195 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,679 seen this all before, and it's all part of the 196 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,840 grand strategy to exhaust you, to make you move on, 197 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,759 to make you not care anymore, to make you apathetic. 198 00:12:53,039 --> 00:12:54,879 And the sad truth is, with a lot of people, 199 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,039 it works when something seems so massive, when something seems 200 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,480 like there's just too many layers to it, a lot 201 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,759 of people just throw up their hands and move on 202 00:13:03,799 --> 00:13:06,480 to something that they feel is more tangible, right, something 203 00:13:06,519 --> 00:13:10,000 they can see, something they can fuel if you get 204 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,440 my drift. But when it comes to Epstein, a lot 205 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,639 of this stuff is opaque, a lot of it's ambiguous, 206 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,159 and unless you've invested the time in really opening the 207 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,519 doors and going into each and every room, you're going 208 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,759 to be lost, and the DOJ understands that better than anyone, 209 00:13:28,279 --> 00:13:30,919 and that's why they've used this strategy time and time again, 210 00:13:31,399 --> 00:13:34,720 and not just with Epstein, but with many explosive topics 211 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,399 throughout the years. So today we're going to talk a 212 00:13:38,399 --> 00:13:41,559 little bit more about the DOJ telling the court that 213 00:13:41,639 --> 00:13:44,240 it has at least two million more Epstein documents to 214 00:13:44,279 --> 00:13:47,639 review ahead of the redacted release. And to do that, 215 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:52,759 we have an article from the Independent headline DOJ tells 216 00:13:52,799 --> 00:13:55,480 court it has more than two million Epstein documents to 217 00:13:55,519 --> 00:13:59,200 review ahead of redacted release. The author of this article 218 00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:03,000 is Joe summer Lad. The Department of Justice has admitted 219 00:14:03,159 --> 00:14:05,759 it still has more than two million documents relating to 220 00:14:05,799 --> 00:14:09,080 the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein to review, more than two 221 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,120 weeks after the deadline set for their release by the 222 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,799 Epstein Files Transparency Act. And as you know, we haven't 223 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,440 seen any new files since right before Christmas Eve. So 224 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,519 you mean to tell me you've had nothing else prepared, 225 00:14:22,039 --> 00:14:24,759 not even a small batch to release to the public. 226 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,960 That seems a bit unbelievable to me. Honestly, how is 227 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,360 it that you can have all these lawyers reviewing documents, 228 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,559 and you have nothing prepared yet, and we all know 229 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,200 you're not trying to release it all at once, so 230 00:14:35,279 --> 00:14:38,679 don't even try that excuse. What you're trying to do 231 00:14:39,159 --> 00:14:42,720 is slow drip this shit so that people get discouraged 232 00:14:42,759 --> 00:14:44,600 and people move on to other topics. We know what 233 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,519 you're up to. Unfortunately for you, that plan's gonna fail 234 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,919 because nobody's buying it. Nobody's playing the wag the dog 235 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,240 game with you. There is only one way out for 236 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,639 the DOJ and for the Trump administration, and that is 237 00:14:57,679 --> 00:15:00,320 to release the files. I mean, it's wild to that 238 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,919 the DOJ is acting like this is some kind of 239 00:15:03,279 --> 00:15:08,519 voluntary situation. The law requires that you release these files. 240 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,240 That doesn't mean play games. It doesn't say take your 241 00:15:12,279 --> 00:15:15,799 time and release them when you feel comfortable. You add 242 00:15:15,799 --> 00:15:19,000 a deadline and you miss the deadline. What happens if 243 00:15:19,039 --> 00:15:21,799 I miss my deadline for taxes? Oh that's right. All 244 00:15:21,879 --> 00:15:25,200 kinds of compounded interest, all kinds of nonsense, all kinds 245 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,679 of heartache. But when the DOJ is on the wrong 246 00:15:28,679 --> 00:15:31,120 side of the law, they just shrug and keep it moving. 247 00:15:31,399 --> 00:15:33,840 That should terrify everybody. And I don't care what your 248 00:15:33,879 --> 00:15:37,759 political affiliation is because if the DOJ is above the law, 249 00:15:38,159 --> 00:15:40,960 then that means we don't have a law. The near 250 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,919 unanimous passage of the legislation through Congress in November prompted 251 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,240 President Donald Trump to sign it into law, setting in 252 00:15:48,279 --> 00:15:51,559 motion a thirty day countdown for the publication of all 253 00:15:51,639 --> 00:15:56,360 DOJ files on EPSTEIN. The deadline arrived on December nineteenth, 254 00:15:56,559 --> 00:16:00,240 with the DOJ posting a tranch of heavily redacted text 255 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,159 lacking documents, followed by a second tranch four days later, 256 00:16:04,559 --> 00:16:07,440 and nothing since now. In a five page letter sent 257 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,360 by Jay Clayton, US attorney for the Southern District of 258 00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:15,080 New York, to US District Judge Paul A. Ingelemeyer updating 259 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,679 them on the state of play, the prosecutor revealed that 260 00:16:17,679 --> 00:16:21,279 there is still more than two million documents potentially responsive 261 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,480 to the Act that are in various phases of review, 262 00:16:24,679 --> 00:16:28,559 which is completely unacceptable. Let's not act like they haven't 263 00:16:28,559 --> 00:16:32,879 had decades to get all of this in line, and 264 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,600 why are they now going through all these documents like 265 00:16:35,639 --> 00:16:38,399 they've never been through them before. After saying that there 266 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,320 was no evidence that anybody else was involved, that there 267 00:16:41,399 --> 00:16:44,039 was no investigation that should be launched. How do they 268 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,240 know that if they haven't been through all the evidence. Oh, 269 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,360 that's right, they don't know it. They're just saying it 270 00:16:50,559 --> 00:16:52,559 because they don't want to deal with the issue. That's 271 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,720 what it really comes down to. They don't want to 272 00:16:54,759 --> 00:16:57,840 deal with the whole entire shit show that comes along 273 00:16:57,879 --> 00:17:01,759 with this topic because they under stand how damaging this 274 00:17:01,879 --> 00:17:06,240 information is. Clayton said that the DOJ has released twelve thousand, 275 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,200 two hundred and eighty five documents totaling one hundred and 276 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,799 twenty five thousand, five hundred and seventy five pages related 277 00:17:12,839 --> 00:17:15,839 to Epstein so far, meeting the public has seen less 278 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,000 than one percent of the department's holdings at this stage, 279 00:17:19,799 --> 00:17:23,319 like for real paral, the law states December nineteenth, and 280 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,720 we only have one percent of the documents that the 281 00:17:25,799 --> 00:17:29,119 law says we are privy to. How aren't all the 282 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,960 alarm bells ringing for everybody? And how come there is 283 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,160 no ramifications for the Department of Justice? And you know 284 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,519 what else? I find pretty humorous. Remember Congress had that 285 00:17:38,599 --> 00:17:41,039 oversight committee about Epstein, and they were doing all their 286 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,599 depositions and they were calling people in. Notice, the only 287 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,480 two people they called in for depositions were a Costa 288 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:52,119 and Bar No, Indyke, no con No, Sarah Kellen, no, 289 00:17:52,319 --> 00:17:58,319 Adrianna Ross, no, Leslie Groff, nobody. And that's what the 290 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,839 plan was with that Site committee to make this all 291 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,480 go away. They didn't want to release any documents, release anything, 292 00:18:06,559 --> 00:18:09,240 so they were going to run interference for the Trump administration. 293 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,839 And if it wasn't for Thomas Massey, ro Conna, Marjorie 294 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,759 Taylor Green and Lauren Bolbert and everybody else who backed 295 00:18:16,759 --> 00:18:20,440 the petition, we wouldn't even be in this position. They'd 296 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,720 still be running all kinds of interference and telling you 297 00:18:23,759 --> 00:18:25,839 to get fucked. And even with this law in the 298 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,359 books now, they don't care. They're just doing whatever they 299 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,880 want because they know that there's no ramifications. Nobody's gonna 300 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,920 hold them responsible for the way they conduct themselves for 301 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,319 what they do. That's just not how it works. Unfortunately. 302 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,799 He explained that the DOJ has recently unearthed another million 303 00:18:44,839 --> 00:18:48,680 documents that it had not previously factored into its calculations, 304 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,839 adding that although they appeared to be duplicates of files 305 00:18:51,839 --> 00:18:55,319 already seen, they would nevertheless need to undergo a process 306 00:18:55,599 --> 00:19:00,200 of processing and de duplication translation, We after a the 307 00:19:00,279 --> 00:19:03,200 names of our friends and donors. That's what they mean, 308 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,759 because at this point, is there any doubt that that's 309 00:19:07,799 --> 00:19:10,400 what they're doing. When we go through the documents, the 310 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,759 only redactions we're supposed to see are survivor names. But 311 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,359 every time you turn around, every time you look through 312 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,079 a document, it's littered with redactions of people's names that 313 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:25,160 shouldn't be redacted, including people that were working on the 314 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,279 case for the federal government. Why are their names hidden? 315 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,759 If you want true accountability, we have to know who 316 00:19:30,839 --> 00:19:33,359 was involved, and that also means the men and women 317 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,720 on the ground that were conducting the investigation. We need 318 00:19:36,759 --> 00:19:38,799 to know what they know right, What did they see, 319 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,000 what did they hear? What did they do? More than 320 00:19:42,039 --> 00:19:45,839 four hundred DOJ attorneys and one hundred FBI analysts are 321 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,039 set to spend the next few weeks dedicating all or 322 00:19:49,079 --> 00:19:52,599 a substantial portion of their workday to examining the files. 323 00:19:52,599 --> 00:19:56,160 Clayton said. It was reported last week that the department 324 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,920 had put out a call for more help in reviewing 325 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,799 and making redactions to its more than five point two 326 00:20:01,799 --> 00:20:06,359 million individual pages in the interest of safeguarding the sex offenders, 327 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:12,559 victims protecting national security and preventing ongoing investigations from being compromised. 328 00:20:13,519 --> 00:20:15,799 I thought there were no investigations. What happened to all 329 00:20:15,799 --> 00:20:19,559 of that? Wait, now that it's helpful for them, there's 330 00:20:19,559 --> 00:20:23,200 an investigation that's ongoing that needs to be protected. And 331 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,119 as far as fucking national security, that's pretty weird considering 332 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:33,880 Jeffrey Epstein's only a loan predator according to the official narrative, Like, 333 00:20:34,039 --> 00:20:37,200 they really think we're stupid, They really think people are 334 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,400 gonna buy this shit and just you know, not along 335 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,440 with it and be like, well, Kat tur thinks it's true. 336 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,920 I mean, that's the kind of environment we're in. And 337 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,640 then you have these pathetic streamers and these influencers who 338 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,160 have no soul or moral compass. They're willing to sell 339 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,279 out for the highest bidder. They don't give a fuck 340 00:20:55,319 --> 00:20:58,000 what message they're sending as long as their engagement is 341 00:20:58,079 --> 00:21:02,039 up and that ad revenue. That's all they care about. 342 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,000 Because anybody who's out here acting like this is no 343 00:21:06,079 --> 00:21:09,880 big deal, like this is just something that's normal is 344 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,920 lying to you. There's nothing normal about this. And when 345 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,160 you have a law on the books that's passed by 346 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,839 Congress in an overwhelming fashion, by the way, and then 347 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,920 signed by the President. Where does the DOJ get off 348 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,279 put a stick in the spokes? They don't have that power, 349 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,880 and it's about time that the DOJ gets a reality check. 350 00:21:31,799 --> 00:21:34,960 Clayton said the gradual release was necessary to prevent in 351 00:21:35,039 --> 00:21:39,559 proper disclosures. He told Ingelmeyer that the review process involved 352 00:21:39,599 --> 00:21:43,279 uploading documents to a data review platform, conducting a manual 353 00:21:43,319 --> 00:21:47,640 search for victim information, redacting the documents, and a subsequent 354 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,920 review by his office for quality control. So every redaction 355 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,000 we see has been through redundancies that means they're breaking 356 00:21:56,039 --> 00:21:59,160 the law multiple times, the people on the front line, 357 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,960 and then theirs who okay it by redacting names that 358 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,440 shouldn't be redacted. So once again I asked Congress, what 359 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,079 are you going to do about it? Are you just 360 00:22:10,079 --> 00:22:13,039 going to sit there and complain and cry and do 361 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,119 stupid ass press conferences and make pretend you care, or 362 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,359 are you actually going to do something that has teeth. 363 00:22:20,039 --> 00:22:23,240 The initial release of files last month brought complaints and 364 00:22:23,279 --> 00:22:26,920 threats of legal action from lawmakers Thomas Massey and Roe Conna, 365 00:22:27,319 --> 00:22:30,119 who had led the call to publish information, and from 366 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:34,319 Epstein's survivors still seeking justice, who said the treatment of 367 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:38,839 the material had been unacceptable. Well, yeah, I don't think 368 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,000 you need to be a survivor to see that or 369 00:22:41,039 --> 00:22:46,039 think that this whole entire thing has been unacceptable. Imagine 370 00:22:46,079 --> 00:22:48,480 it was your daughter who was abused by this man, 371 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,519 and then this was the treatment that she received in 372 00:22:51,559 --> 00:22:55,359 the aftermath. How would you feel about that? I wonder 373 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,440 how Jay Clayton would feel. Among the information released thus 374 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,839 far have been previously unseen photographs of Epstein with his 375 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,680 former girlfriend and accomplice Glenn Maxwell. You mean fellow child 376 00:23:06,759 --> 00:23:11,200 abuser by peteral serpent and all around scumbag Glenn Maxwell right, 377 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,839 Pictures of famous public figures like Bill Clinton, Andrew mount Batten, Winsor, 378 00:23:17,079 --> 00:23:21,000 Michael Jackson and Sir mc jagger, as well as photocopies 379 00:23:21,039 --> 00:23:25,559 of the disgraced financiers passports, and internal FBI emails discussing 380 00:23:25,599 --> 00:23:28,319 aspects of his case. And those are the emails that 381 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,200 I'm talking about. All of the names of the people 382 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,960 that were involved in those email threads should be available 383 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,160 to us. What are you guys hiding? Being mentioned in 384 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,000 the file does not indicate wrongdoing. Democrats on the House 385 00:23:41,039 --> 00:23:44,799 Oversight Committee have continued to complain about the delay, writing 386 00:23:44,799 --> 00:23:48,559 on X Monday, the Epstein Files production we received from 387 00:23:48,559 --> 00:23:53,000 the DOJ last month was both incomplete and overly redacted. 388 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,920 Entire pages blacked out with zero explanation, a clear obstruction 389 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,599 of justice for survivors and account of ability for co conspirators. 390 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,279 We won't stop until we get the truth, and that, 391 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:08,160 of course is the right mentality, because I know I've 392 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,119 said it a million times and I'll say it a 393 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,240 million more. They want you to stop paying attention. They 394 00:24:14,319 --> 00:24:16,839 want you to focus elsewhere, and that's why they're slow 395 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:22,599 dripping this. In another post, the group added there's a 396 00:24:22,599 --> 00:24:24,920 lot going on in the world that's important, and that 397 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,200 includes our work on the Epstein Files. We won't forget 398 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:33,480 and we won't be distracted. California Representative Robert Garcia also 399 00:24:33,519 --> 00:24:37,079 appeared on MS Now Monday and relayed the same message 400 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,000 the Epstein Files or at the center of Trump's corruption 401 00:24:40,319 --> 00:24:44,119 at the DOJ. The American public wants the truth and 402 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,759 we won't stop fighting until we get justice for the survivors. 403 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,680 And I get the tough talk right, great, but how 404 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,279 about some action. It's one thing to talk tough and 405 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,440 act like you know you're gonna do something about it, 406 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,440 and it's a whole last other thing to actually do it. 407 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,680 End up to now, all they've done is talk. So 408 00:25:01,839 --> 00:25:04,960 the question is when are they gonna stop talking about 409 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,680 oversight and actually start engaging in it. All of the 410 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,799 information that goes with this episode can be found in 411 00:25:12,839 --> 00:25:13,839 the description box.
