Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. Over the past eight or nine months, the
Speaker 1: Congressional Oversight Committee looking into the Jeffrey Epstein scandal has
Speaker 1: had a revolving door of people coming in to have
Speaker 1: a chat. Well, today, Tuesday, June ninth, twenty twenty six,
Speaker 1: that revolving door swings again, and this time it's Leslie
Speaker 1: Groff who's on deck. And while there's never been any
Speaker 1: accusation that Leslie Groff took part in any abuse, I
Speaker 1: don't think there's any doubt that she was a key
Speaker 1: cog in the Epstein machine. And without Leslie Groff, Jeffrey
Speaker 1: Epstein couldn't have done what he did. But here's the
Speaker 1: big problem. The government never charged Jeffrey Epstein with RICO.
Speaker 1: So if it wasn't a recal operation in the government's size,
Speaker 1: then how can they charge Leslie Groff? They can, And
Speaker 1: like I told you from the very beginning, that was
Speaker 1: all by design. This has never been about get to
Speaker 1: the bottom of anything. And I hate to say it,
Speaker 1: this committee is no different. Their goal isn't to figure
Speaker 1: out what happened and hold people accountable. Their goal is
Speaker 1: to control the blast radius, and unfortunately they've done a
Speaker 1: pretty good job. I mean, the topic certainly doesn't have
Speaker 1: the momentum that it had before. Everybody's talking about Iran.
Speaker 1: Everybody's talking about this, that or the other thing. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: these scumbags are happy as hell, swimming around in their
Speaker 1: money like Scrooge McDuck and screwing the rest of us. Still,
Speaker 1: But I mean, what does that matter with all the
Speaker 1: winning that's going on with Iran? Right? I mean, how
Speaker 1: can we stomach all this winning? I mean, is there
Speaker 1: a more jubulant feeling than paying ninety bucks to fill
Speaker 1: up your sedan? I mean, not to very too far
Speaker 1: off course here, but what did we gain? What was
Speaker 1: gained by the whole entire thing in Iran? But putting
Speaker 1: some distance between the Epstein files and the administration, do
Speaker 1: you really think they're not gonna have nuclear weapons anymore?
Speaker 1: All this is is Obama two point zero. But I
Speaker 1: guess it's okay this time because you know your guy.
Speaker 1: Today's article is from The Guardian and the headline Jeffrey
Speaker 1: Epstein assistant Leslie Groff set to testify before the House panel.
Speaker 1: This article was authored by Anna Betts. Leslie Groff, Jeffrey
Speaker 1: Epstein's longtime executive assistant, is testifying on Tuesday before the
Speaker 1: House Oversight and Reform Committee as lawmakers on the panel
Speaker 1: continued their investigation into the late convicted sex offender. And
Speaker 1: do we really think that Leslie Groff doesn't have a
Speaker 1: story to tell. She most certainly does. She knows the who's,
Speaker 1: the whys, the whens, and the wares, and up until
Speaker 1: this point she hasn't come forward and talked about any
Speaker 1: of it. Groff worked for Epstein for almost twenty years,
Speaker 1: beginning in two thousand and one and ending in July
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, when he was arrested. Notes from a twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one FBI interview with Groff, which was included in
Speaker 1: the millions of documents related to Epstein released by the
Speaker 1: Department Adjusts earlier this year, state that she told the
Speaker 1: agents that she began working for Epstein after she was
Speaker 1: contacted by a headhunter who found her resume and told
Speaker 1: her that there was a job to organize one man's life.
Speaker 1: And Okay, I get it. That sounds like a great job, right,
Speaker 1: But once you're there and you see what's going on,
Speaker 1: all those excuses go out. The window. Let's not act
Speaker 1: like you're being forced to do this. She had no
Speaker 1: problem doing this job because she was being rewarded handsomely,
Speaker 1: a lot of money, a lot of prestige, use of
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein's jets, his apartments, all of it, and that allure.
Speaker 1: It draws people in and people who are willing to
Speaker 1: go to great lengths to try to rationalize that kind
Speaker 1: of shit with themselves as long as they're benefiting monetarily
Speaker 1: or in other ways. What do they care about these kids?
Speaker 1: What do they care about these women from Russia? Not
Speaker 1: their problem? Right? The man turned out to be Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 1: Groff told agents that she had not previously heard of them.
Speaker 1: She said that she interviewed with several people for the position,
Speaker 1: including Epstein and Glene Maxwell, Epstein's longtime associate who's currently
Speaker 1: serving a twenty year prison sentence for sex trafficking crimes.
Speaker 1: According to the FBI document, Groff said that she signed
Speaker 1: a non disclosure agreement. Well, yeah, they all do, they
Speaker 1: all did, but that shit doesn't mean anything in criminal court.
Speaker 1: Criminal court is where NDA is going to die. So
Speaker 1: the NDA that's going to protect you from embarrassing you know,
Speaker 1: talk in public. That's not going to protect you from
Speaker 1: a federal investigation, or at least it shouldn't. But when
Speaker 1: it comes to people like Jeffrey Epstein, of course different
Speaker 1: rules right rules for them and then rules for us.
Speaker 1: The document states that Groff told agents that her responsibilities
Speaker 1: included scheduling meetings, making phone calls, coordinating with Epstein's driver
Speaker 1: in chef and other people, and managing much of his
Speaker 1: daily schedule and appointments. According to the FBI notes, Groff
Speaker 1: told investigators that from the beginning, massage was part of
Speaker 1: Epstein's day. They were normal appointments. Groff's job was to
Speaker 1: make appointments. The FBI notes say to Groff, making massage
Speaker 1: appointments was just another appointment she made for Epstein, adding
Speaker 1: that Epstein would call Groff in the morning and say
Speaker 1: something like, call and see if she can do a
Speaker 1: massage at fourteen. You know what. That's all fine and well,
Speaker 1: but when you're calling a high school girl, I would
Speaker 1: think that you know what's going on? Now She'll say,
Speaker 1: I had no idea how old she was. But how
Speaker 1: many of you believe that? Do you really think that
Speaker 1: these people that were working together, that were in Epstein's
Speaker 1: orbit didn't talk. They knew what was going on. They
Speaker 1: all chose to look the other way. That's my opinion,
Speaker 1: and I think the contemporaneous facts back that up. But
Speaker 1: the hard part is, how do you prove that. You
Speaker 1: can't prove that in a court of law. Right, So
Speaker 1: unless you charge them with RICO, there's nothing you can do.
Speaker 1: Your hands are tied as law enforcement. In recent years,
Speaker 1: Groff has faced public scrutiny after it emerged that she
Speaker 1: was among four women identified as possible co conspirators and
Speaker 1: granted immunity from prosecution under Epstein's controversial two thousand and
Speaker 1: seven plea deal with federal prosecutors in Florida. So if
Speaker 1: she wasn't a co conspirator, why did they give her immunity?
Speaker 1: Please stop insulting our intelligence. Holy fuck. When asked last
Speaker 1: month about Graff's knowledge of details surrounding Epstein's two thousand
Speaker 1: and eight conviction, her attorney Michael Backner, told the Guardian
Speaker 1: that after Epstein's arrest in two thousand and eight, he
Speaker 1: continuously lied to Leslie and other members of the staff,
Speaker 1: insisting that he had been blackmailed and set up. So
Speaker 1: you believe it. Just take him at face value. The
Speaker 1: government was in on it. Everybody was fucking Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 1: That's the deal. I mean, it's a good excuse, but
Speaker 1: no competent person's buying it. If I was working for
Speaker 1: somebody and they got nailed for picking up little girls
Speaker 1: and then called them a prostitute, the second I heard
Speaker 1: the news, I would quit, have a little bit of integrity, Like,
Speaker 1: I understand, we have bills to pay, and yeah, there's
Speaker 1: other jobs, there's other shit to do, and there's other
Speaker 1: people to work for. But for twenty years, well, Leslie
Speaker 1: Groff had no desire to do any of that. Backner
Speaker 1: added that Epstein angrily said that the allegations against him
Speaker 1: were simply false and he had no idea that the
Speaker 1: prostitute he had contact with was a minor, adding that
Speaker 1: in Leslie's mind, that was the reason that he was
Speaker 1: treated so leniently by law enforcement before and after he
Speaker 1: was sentenced. Like, you don't go to an escort a
Speaker 1: professional somebody that wants to be doing what they're doing, because,
Speaker 1: believe me, I have no problem with people who want
Speaker 1: to engage in, you know, sex work. I don't care
Speaker 1: not my business. Nothing I do. But I'm not everybody else,
Speaker 1: and not everybody else is me, and not everybody has
Speaker 1: the same moral compass. I get that, and I'm certainly
Speaker 1: not somebody that gives a shit what anybody does in
Speaker 1: their bedroom. But the whole story here about how she
Speaker 1: had no idea about how he was being blackmailed. Who
Speaker 1: buys that? Does anybody out there really buy that? And
Speaker 1: to tell you the truth, I highly doubt that twelve
Speaker 1: jurors would buy it either. Imagine being a jur getting
Speaker 1: all the evidence in a RICO case and then Leslie
Speaker 1: Groff telling you she doesn't know. I don't think that
Speaker 1: would work out. For In fact, what you would see
Speaker 1: is everybody turning on everybody else, and that is why
Speaker 1: we don't have Rico. The Epstein files released by the
Speaker 1: Justice Department also included an internal FBI document from twenty
Speaker 1: nineteen that list eight people as possible co conspirators, including Groff.
Speaker 1: In a statement to NBC News earlier this year, Groff's
Speaker 1: lawyer said that she'd never seen the document and was
Speaker 1: unaware of it. Well, that's because they never pursued it.
Speaker 1: There was never a real investigation. Just like I told you,
Speaker 1: saw those dumb motherfuckers out there that cry and bitch
Speaker 1: and moan, and we're on bullshit narratives that this has
Speaker 1: all been investigated. They're liars, the whole last lot of them,
Speaker 1: a bunch of propaganda push in punk ass liars. In fact,
Speaker 1: neither Leslie nor counsel were ever notified by law enforcement
Speaker 1: that she was considered an Epstein co conspirator, her lawyer said.
Speaker 1: On the contrary, after Leslie voluntarily spoke with prosecutors and
Speaker 1: answered each and every question asked of her, she was
Speaker 1: told that she was not being prosecuted. Well that's a
Speaker 1: big problem too, Do you guys not get it. It's
Speaker 1: not just about what Epstein did, It's about what the
Speaker 1: government did. And I wish people would just wake up
Speaker 1: and see the forest through the trees here. Whenever we
Speaker 1: have a Republican administration, the Democrats, well they can't wait
Speaker 1: to tell you how much they don't trust the government. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: you have all the people that were just telling us
Speaker 1: under Biden that the government can't be trusted, Well, they're
Speaker 1: all big time fans of the government now, and the
Speaker 1: government's doing the right thing, and the storm's gathering, and
Speaker 1: where we go one we go all. The truth is,
Speaker 1: the government doesn't give a fuck about you, and it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what party's in power. And the sooner you
Speaker 1: guys wise up to that shit, the better off we're
Speaker 1: all gonna be. Do you think these people really care
Speaker 1: about you while you're fighting with all your friends or
Speaker 1: not inviting your cousin Jodah Christmas because he has a
Speaker 1: different political view than you. Meanwhile, all these people behind
Speaker 1: the scenes, they're living it up. You ever hear a
Speaker 1: k fabe and wrestling. They may pretend their enemies right,
Speaker 1: but behind the scenes, obviously it's all fake and their
Speaker 1: friends sam in politics, these people despise you, so why
Speaker 1: in the hell would you run cover for them? Why
Speaker 1: in the hell would you defend their bullshit on a
Speaker 1: regular basis. Groff's name also appeared in a twenty twenty
Speaker 1: FBI interview with a survivor of Epstein's abuse, in which
Speaker 1: the person whose name is redacted said that they felt
Speaker 1: like Groff knew what was going on and knew the
Speaker 1: massage appointments were sexual, but the person acknowledged that they
Speaker 1: never said anything to Leslie about the massages. Following Epstein's death,
Speaker 1: Groff along with several other employees and associates of Epstein,
Speaker 1: was named in several civil lawsuits filed by survivors against
Speaker 1: Epstein and his estate. Some plaintiffs accused her of facilitating
Speaker 1: his abuse. Groff's attorney has said that she never engaged
Speaker 1: in any misconduct and never knowingly made travel arrangements for
Speaker 1: anyone under eighteen. The civil claims against Groff were later dismissed. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: what about travel arrangements for women who are being trafficked?
Speaker 1: Ever make those? Did you ever schedule a flight for
Speaker 1: somebody to come from point A the point B, crossing
Speaker 1: state lines or international lines with the express purpose of
Speaker 1: them being abused or used for sex? Well, then congratulations,
Speaker 1: you're now part of the conspiracy. Her lawyer has also
Speaker 1: said the allegations against Groff in civil suits simply wrong, confused,
Speaker 1: and devoid of any facts establishing that she had any
Speaker 1: idea of Epstein's horrible and nefarious conduct. Groff was subpoenaed
Speaker 1: by the House Committee in March to appear before the
Speaker 1: panel for an interview. Due to public reporting documents released
Speaker 1: by the Department of Justice and documents obtained by the committee,
Speaker 1: the committee believes you have information that will assist in
Speaker 1: its investigation, the letter from Representative James Comer, the Republican
Speaker 1: who chairs the committee, reads. Last month, another one of
Speaker 1: Epstein's former assistants, Sarah Kellen, also testified before the House
Speaker 1: Committee as part of their investigation. In her testimony, Kellen
Speaker 1: denied she was an accomplice of Epstein and said that
Speaker 1: she was sexually and psychologically abused by the late financier
Speaker 1: during her employment. And look, like I've said, I have
Speaker 1: no doubt that Sarah Kelln was abused. That doesn't give
Speaker 1: her immunity from the shit she did, though, And unless
Speaker 1: she provides some actionable intelligence on somebody, well she should
Speaker 1: be right up there with everybody else when it comes
Speaker 1: to investigations. And now that we're done with the Pam
Speaker 1: Bondi transcript, we're going to be diving in to the
Speaker 1: Sarah Kelln transcript. We'll see what she had to say.
Speaker 1: And then after their released this Leslie Groff transcript, well
Speaker 1: we'll be diving into that bad boy too. So until then,
Speaker 1: that's going to do it for this one. All the
Speaker 1: information that goes with this episode can be found in
Speaker 1: the description box.
