00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:09,720
Epstein Chronicles. Back in twenty nineteen, when Jeffrey Epstein was arrested,

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,279
the FBI reached out to authorities in New York and

4
00:00:14,519 --> 00:00:18,199
ordered the authorities in New York to stand down and

5
00:00:18,359 --> 00:00:22,000
see their investigation to the federal government. And usually I

6
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,960
just shrug my shoulders. Right, the Feds think that they

7
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,039
have a better case, or maybe they believe they have jurisdiction,

8
00:00:28,199 --> 00:00:30,519
whatever it might be. But that's only for people that

9
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,920
get the benefit of the doubt. And when it comes

10
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,479
to the FBI and the DOJ and their behavior in

11
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,600
the realm of Epstein, I don't think anybody should be

12
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,280
giving them the benefit of the doubt. And honestly, I

13
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,240
don't think I'm the only one. I think that the

14
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,200
vast majority of people are sick of the nonsense, sick

15
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,000
of the lies, and sick of the bs. And I

16
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,600
don't just mean with Epstein, I mean in general, and

17
00:00:53,679 --> 00:00:56,359
considering all of that, and considering the piss poor job

18
00:00:56,399 --> 00:00:59,200
they've done, do you think they've earned the benefit of

19
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,320
the doubt? Well? I have a funny feeling after we're

20
00:01:02,359 --> 00:01:05,239
done with this article and this email if you didn't

21
00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:09,280
have any questions before, you might have some now. So

22
00:01:09,359 --> 00:01:11,519
why don't we just start with this email? And this

23
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,200
was an email that was sent from you guessed it

24
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,680
redacted or redacted, but it's obviously federal agents talking about

25
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,040
the case and what's going on in New York. So

26
00:01:22,359 --> 00:01:27,159
let's start with the first message. On July tenth, twenty nineteen,

27
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,719
Jeffrey Berman wrote, I spoke to Sweeney. Will be going

28
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,280
forward with the compromise. CFI in the room, but interview

29
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,640
conducted by AUSA and agent. There will be a strategy

30
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,599
session with CFI before each interview, and any suggestion from

31
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,359
CFI will be incorporated by us in the interview to

32
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,359
the extent we can. If CFI feels that they have

33
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,439
to interject during the interview, they can, or they may

34
00:01:53,519 --> 00:01:56,439
talk to us outside the room. We of course will

35
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,840
be solicitous of CFI. They're the experts. Does this work

36
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,840
for everyone? And then there's a response from somebody who

37
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,400
is not notated, This is fine with me if they

38
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,360
can be nimble. For example, the agents and redacted or

39
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,240
in Florida. As we speak, agents are doing approaches and

40
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,680
interviews lined up for tomorrow. We can't let the bureaucracy

41
00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:23,000
stand in the way, have to delay things, etc. I

42
00:02:23,039 --> 00:02:26,039
suppose we go with it for now and see if

43
00:02:26,039 --> 00:02:29,319
that becomes a concern. Oh yeah, that's not concerning. Huh,

44
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,039
can't let the bureaucracy stand in the way. What does

45
00:02:32,039 --> 00:02:35,479
that even mean? The next response in the chain is

46
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,159
from the same person. It looks like sorry, interviews lined

47
00:02:39,199 --> 00:02:43,439
up for Friday, not tomorrow. Here's another fire. DA n

48
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,680
Y District Attorney in New York is proceeding with their

49
00:02:46,719 --> 00:02:50,199
investigation and already reached out to NBC News victim to

50
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,120
arrange an interview. I'm not sure what the point is

51
00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:57,120
given both their double jeopardy and sol issues. Let's discuss

52
00:02:57,159 --> 00:03:03,639
outreach to them. Extra response, same person, also as redacted

53
00:03:03,719 --> 00:03:07,680
is pointed out, DA and Y is presumably working with NYPD,

54
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:11,960
but NYPD, through the Task Force, is working with us

55
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,000
and even stood up to announce the charges with US,

56
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,800
so we may also want to conduct outreach that way.

57
00:03:20,199 --> 00:03:24,879
Final message redacted just called FBI reached out to NYPD

58
00:03:25,039 --> 00:03:28,360
leadership already and they were told the SPU has been

59
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,560
directed to stand down and that all the Epstein stuff

60
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:35,120
needs to go through us DA and y could still

61
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,039
try to go forward with their own investigators, so I

62
00:03:38,039 --> 00:03:41,039
think it's worth a call over. So what you see

63
00:03:41,039 --> 00:03:45,520
here is the FBI and the US Attorney's Office trying

64
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,039
to figure out how to get the District Attorney of

65
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,319
the State of New York out of the way so

66
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,199
they can pursue their case in a way they want

67
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,680
to pursue it. And look, under normal circumstances, this wouldn't

68
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,520
be weird, right, you'd be like, all right, cool, this

69
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,080
is what happened. But when we look at it, added

70
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,560
to everything else we know about and all the other

71
00:04:05,639 --> 00:04:08,360
behavior of the federal government when it comes to Epstein

72
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,280
and protecting them, it's very concerning. And it all goes

73
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:17,000
back to the scope. The federal government wanted this case

74
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,160
so they could control the scope so that blast radius

75
00:04:20,199 --> 00:04:22,959
was limited, and I think the more evidence that we're seeing,

76
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:28,319
especially recently, really reinforces that point. So in this episode,

77
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,920
we have an article from AlterNet and the headline FBI

78
00:04:33,079 --> 00:04:38,319
told NYPD to stand down probe into Jeffrey Epstein. This

79
00:04:38,439 --> 00:04:43,360
article was authored by Sarah K. Burris. Ryan Goodman, editor

80
00:04:43,399 --> 00:04:46,279
in chief of Just Security, uncovered a document in which

81
00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:49,000
the New York police department was told by the federal

82
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,360
government to stand down on its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

83
00:04:54,399 --> 00:04:57,000
In a video posted on Monday, Goodman said that he

84
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,120
found documents in which the FBI sent the instructions to

85
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,959
the NYPD just five days after Epstein's arrest. Goodman said

86
00:05:05,959 --> 00:05:08,839
he found it surprising that the order also applied to

87
00:05:08,879 --> 00:05:12,800
the SVU Special Victims Unit, and Goodman explained that it's

88
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,120
the key part of law enforcement that is specially trained

89
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,240
and equipped to investigate crimes against miners and crimes of

90
00:05:20,319 --> 00:05:23,879
such abuse. Well, the Feds have their own department, so

91
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,240
they're going to bring in their own people BAU you know,

92
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,319
crimes against Victims CEOs, a whole bunch of different divisions

93
00:05:31,319 --> 00:05:33,959
that they use when they're pursuing crimes like this. The

94
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,439
problem is they didn't utilize any of it, and instead

95
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,120
they narrowed the scope so that the only targets would

96
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,759
be Epstein and Maxwell her self. And that was all

97
00:05:43,759 --> 00:05:45,920
by design. It has nothing to do with them not

98
00:05:45,959 --> 00:05:49,240
having evidence. They have mountains of it. And that's why

99
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,639
it's so annoying when you have people out here who

100
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:56,160
try and rely on this initial investigation as something that

101
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,879
is worthwhile as something that you can look at and say,

102
00:05:58,879 --> 00:06:02,480
you know what, every single door was kicked in, every

103
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:08,040
bush upturned, because we know that's not true. And before

104
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,360
it was just me telling you that. Now it's obvious

105
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,120
from these documents that it's true. They didn't pursue this

106
00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:18,800
investigation the way that they usually do, especially when we're

107
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,160
talking about organized crime, when we're talking about criminal enterprise.

108
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,079
This is usually their favorite thing to go after because

109
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,000
it makes headlines, it's a gigantic slam dunk, and it's

110
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,879
a career builder. But they didn't do it, did they.

111
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,839
They narrowed the scope and they were only focusing in

112
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,800
on Jeffrey Epstein and Glenne Maxwell. And in pursuit of that,

113
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,839
they had to make sure that the case was kicked

114
00:06:40,879 --> 00:06:45,279
down from state to federal because remember DOJ main office

115
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,759
has no jurisdiction over state level law enforcement. So they

116
00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:53,480
wanted to be in control of everything from actual boots

117
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,199
on the ground to the actual narrative. They wanted to

118
00:06:56,199 --> 00:06:58,120
be in control of all of it. And now we

119
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,480
know why. I mean, you have all these crimes that

120
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,199
were committed in New York and you don't want the

121
00:07:04,519 --> 00:07:09,360
assistance of the SVU, one of the most premier svus

122
00:07:09,399 --> 00:07:12,759
in the country, by the way, But now we'll have

123
00:07:12,839 --> 00:07:15,240
them step aside. We got this and I know it's

124
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,720
just another coincidence, right. The documents showed that the existing

125
00:07:19,759 --> 00:07:23,480
District Attorney of New York was in an ongoing investigation

126
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,959
into Epstein and was communicating with the victims. Some of

127
00:07:26,959 --> 00:07:30,319
those victims then began to speak out, including a twenty

128
00:07:30,399 --> 00:07:35,519
nineteen interview with Savannah Guthrie on NBC. Goodman said that

129
00:07:35,879 --> 00:07:38,800
they considered the DA reaching out to the victims of

130
00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:41,879
fire that needed to be put out. All of this

131
00:07:42,079 --> 00:07:46,560
was during President Donald Trump's first administration. It's quite stunning

132
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,399
because a large part of the allegations against Epstein and

133
00:07:49,519 --> 00:07:53,319
Glenn Maxwell and the allegedal conspirators happened in New York

134
00:07:53,959 --> 00:07:55,879
that would be the epicenter of a lot of the

135
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,759
crimes of the trafficking of the young girls and women.

136
00:07:59,079 --> 00:08:02,079
The sexual abuse of the young girls and women happened

137
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,600
in a townhouse in the Upper East Side of Manhattan,

138
00:08:04,759 --> 00:08:07,160
good Men explained. So you'd think you'd want the New

139
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,959
York Police helping you out, have their assistance and work

140
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,079
in coordination with them, but No, the whole last thing

141
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,639
had to be run from Maine Justice and who was

142
00:08:17,639 --> 00:08:19,920
in charge at that time. Oh, that's right, Bill Barr.

143
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,959
So to close off such an investigation from those on

144
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,120
the ground, he said, is astonishing, as it would be

145
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,680
the most productive avenue of getting at the other men

146
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,200
involved in crimes. While the federal government may have assumed

147
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,519
that the NYPD and DA stopped, they actually continued the

148
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,480
probe through a robust investigation. I highly doubt it was robust,

149
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,639
by the way, including speaking to the survivors through their attorneys.

150
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,440
One part of the investigation focuses specifically on Leon Black,

151
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,679
a private equity investor, whom Business Insider reported on last week.

152
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,840
Black has never been charged. Well, I'm sure it's because

153
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,879
there's no evidence, right. Has nothing to do with the

154
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,399
poor job of the federal government or them snatching jurisdiction

155
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,240
and providence from the local districts. Nothing to see here, though,

156
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,240
Just how things work, folks. The office of the New

157
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,559
Mexico Attorney General, Ronald Torres said last week that in

158
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,200
twenty nineteen it was also told to stand down facts.

159
00:09:19,399 --> 00:09:22,639
That is true, one hundred percent, but they didn't have

160
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:27,360
to listen. They could have had their own investigation running concurrently.

161
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,360
The investigation was closed in twenty nineteen at the request

162
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,080
of the U. S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District

163
00:09:35,159 --> 00:09:38,519
of New York. Torres said he wants them to be reopened.

164
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,159
The U S Attorney in twenty nineteen was Jeffrey Berman,

165
00:09:42,519 --> 00:09:46,879
who was also actively investigating potential financial abuses related to

166
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:53,120
Donald Trump's twenty seventeen presidential inaugural committee and pursuing investigations

167
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,960
into Michael Cohen from twenty eighteen to twenty nineteen. The

168
00:09:58,039 --> 00:10:01,919
document showed that on December sixth, twenty eighteen, the NYPD

169
00:10:02,279 --> 00:10:07,720
SDNY n FBI Child Exploitation Human Trafficking Task Force opened

170
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:12,120
a case on Epstein. On July tenth, twenty nineteen, and

171
00:10:12,159 --> 00:10:16,759
Epstein's survivor, Jennifer ARREOs, was interviewed by Guthrie for The

172
00:10:16,759 --> 00:10:20,240
Today Show. She said, the recruiter knew she was fourteen.

173
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,440
Wait a minute, I thought nobody was young here. I

174
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,759
thought there was no children who were harmed. Isn't that

175
00:10:25,799 --> 00:10:28,320
what some of the Epstein apologists are telling us? A

176
00:10:28,399 --> 00:10:32,639
bunch of jerkofs. After the interview aired, ARREOs submitted a

177
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,639
New York State court filing seeking information from Epstein about

178
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:41,240
how a recruiter who allegedly worked for him Recruiteder. Her

179
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,080
lawsuit against Maxwell and then assistant was filed on August fourteenth,

180
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,120
twenty nineteen, just four days after Epstein was found dead,

181
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:54,200
so she filed the suit against his estate. The stand

182
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,039
down directive came in twenty nineteen. On July tenth and eleven,

183
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:03,000
one month later, Epstein went dead. By January twentieth, email

184
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,480
showed that the FBI was discussing the NYPDS probe of Epstein.

185
00:11:08,039 --> 00:11:10,840
So the pieces of the puzzle are certainly all coming together,

186
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,840
and all these receipts are piling up, and all this

187
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,720
circumstantial evidence that has been compiled are now, in my opinion,

188
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,559
turning into the foundation for the biggest cover up in

189
00:11:21,639 --> 00:11:24,879
the history of the United States. And if you were

190
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,559
wondering why they want you to move on, well here

191
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:33,360
it is. All the information that goes with this episode
