Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Epstein Chronicles. Back in twenty nineteen, when Jeffrey Epstein was arrested,
the FBI reached out to authorities in New York and
ordered the authorities in New York to stand down and
see their investigation to the federal government. And usually I
just shrug my shoulders. Right, the Feds think that they
have a better case, or maybe they believe they have jurisdiction,
whatever it might be. But that's only for people that
get the benefit of the doubt. And when it comes
to the FBI and the DOJ and their behavior in
the realm of Epstein, I don't think anybody should be
giving them the benefit of the doubt. And honestly, I
don't think I'm the only one. I think that the
vast majority of people are sick of the nonsense, sick
of the lies, and sick of the bs. And I
don't just mean with Epstein, I mean in general, and
considering all of that, and considering the piss poor job
they've done, do you think they've earned the benefit of
the doubt? Well? I have a funny feeling after we're
done with this article and this email if you didn't
have any questions before, you might have some now. So
why don't we just start with this email? And this
was an email that was sent from you guessed it
redacted or redacted, but it's obviously federal agents talking about
the case and what's going on in New York. So
let's start with the first message. On July tenth, twenty nineteen,
Jeffrey Berman wrote, I spoke to Sweeney. Will be going
forward with the compromise. CFI in the room, but interview
conducted by AUSA and agent. There will be a strategy
session with CFI before each interview, and any suggestion from
CFI will be incorporated by us in the interview to
the extent we can. If CFI feels that they have
to interject during the interview, they can, or they may
talk to us outside the room. We of course will
be solicitous of CFI. They're the experts. Does this work
for everyone? And then there's a response from somebody who
is not notated, This is fine with me if they
can be nimble. For example, the agents and redacted or
in Florida. As we speak, agents are doing approaches and
interviews lined up for tomorrow. We can't let the bureaucracy
stand in the way, have to delay things, etc. I
suppose we go with it for now and see if
that becomes a concern. Oh yeah, that's not concerning. Huh,
can't let the bureaucracy stand in the way. What does
that even mean? The next response in the chain is
from the same person. It looks like sorry, interviews lined
up for Friday, not tomorrow. Here's another fire. DA n
Y District Attorney in New York is proceeding with their
investigation and already reached out to NBC News victim to
arrange an interview. I'm not sure what the point is
given both their double jeopardy and sol issues. Let's discuss
outreach to them. Extra response, same person, also as redacted
is pointed out, DA and Y is presumably working with NYPD,
but NYPD, through the Task Force, is working with us
and even stood up to announce the charges with US,
so we may also want to conduct outreach that way.
Final message redacted just called FBI reached out to NYPD
leadership already and they were told the SPU has been
directed to stand down and that all the Epstein stuff
needs to go through us DA and y could still
try to go forward with their own investigators, so I
think it's worth a call over. So what you see
here is the FBI and the US Attorney's Office trying
to figure out how to get the District Attorney of
the State of New York out of the way so
they can pursue their case in a way they want
to pursue it. And look, under normal circumstances, this wouldn't
be weird, right, you'd be like, all right, cool, this
is what happened. But when we look at it, added
to everything else we know about and all the other
behavior of the federal government when it comes to Epstein
and protecting them, it's very concerning. And it all goes
back to the scope. The federal government wanted this case
so they could control the scope so that blast radius
was limited, and I think the more evidence that we're seeing,
especially recently, really reinforces that point. So in this episode,
we have an article from AlterNet and the headline FBI
told NYPD to stand down probe into Jeffrey Epstein. This
article was authored by Sarah K. Burris. Ryan Goodman, editor
in chief of Just Security, uncovered a document in which
the New York police department was told by the federal
government to stand down on its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
In a video posted on Monday, Goodman said that he
found documents in which the FBI sent the instructions to
the NYPD just five days after Epstein's arrest. Goodman said
he found it surprising that the order also applied to
the SVU Special Victims Unit, and Goodman explained that it's
the key part of law enforcement that is specially trained
and equipped to investigate crimes against miners and crimes of
such abuse. Well, the Feds have their own department, so
they're going to bring in their own people BAU you know,
crimes against Victims CEOs, a whole bunch of different divisions
that they use when they're pursuing crimes like this. The
problem is they didn't utilize any of it, and instead
they narrowed the scope so that the only targets would
be Epstein and Maxwell her self. And that was all
by design. It has nothing to do with them not
having evidence. They have mountains of it. And that's why
it's so annoying when you have people out here who
try and rely on this initial investigation as something that
is worthwhile as something that you can look at and say,
you know what, every single door was kicked in, every
bush upturned, because we know that's not true. And before
it was just me telling you that. Now it's obvious
from these documents that it's true. They didn't pursue this
investigation the way that they usually do, especially when we're
talking about organized crime, when we're talking about criminal enterprise.
This is usually their favorite thing to go after because
it makes headlines, it's a gigantic slam dunk, and it's
a career builder. But they didn't do it, did they.
They narrowed the scope and they were only focusing in
on Jeffrey Epstein and Glenne Maxwell. And in pursuit of that,
they had to make sure that the case was kicked
down from state to federal because remember DOJ main office
has no jurisdiction over state level law enforcement. So they
wanted to be in control of everything from actual boots
on the ground to the actual narrative. They wanted to
be in control of all of it. And now we
know why. I mean, you have all these crimes that
were committed in New York and you don't want the
assistance of the SVU, one of the most premier svus
in the country, by the way, But now we'll have
them step aside. We got this and I know it's
just another coincidence, right. The documents showed that the existing
District Attorney of New York was in an ongoing investigation
into Epstein and was communicating with the victims. Some of
those victims then began to speak out, including a twenty
nineteen interview with Savannah Guthrie on NBC. Goodman said that
they considered the DA reaching out to the victims of
fire that needed to be put out. All of this
was during President Donald Trump's first administration. It's quite stunning
because a large part of the allegations against Epstein and
Glenn Maxwell and the allegedal conspirators happened in New York
that would be the epicenter of a lot of the
crimes of the trafficking of the young girls and women.
The sexual abuse of the young girls and women happened
in a townhouse in the Upper East Side of Manhattan,
good Men explained. So you'd think you'd want the New
York Police helping you out, have their assistance and work
in coordination with them, but No, the whole last thing
had to be run from Maine Justice and who was
in charge at that time. Oh, that's right, Bill Barr.
So to close off such an investigation from those on
the ground, he said, is astonishing, as it would be
the most productive avenue of getting at the other men
involved in crimes. While the federal government may have assumed
that the NYPD and DA stopped, they actually continued the
probe through a robust investigation. I highly doubt it was robust,
by the way, including speaking to the survivors through their attorneys.
One part of the investigation focuses specifically on Leon Black,
a private equity investor, whom Business Insider reported on last week.
Black has never been charged. Well, I'm sure it's because
there's no evidence, right. Has nothing to do with the
poor job of the federal government or them snatching jurisdiction
and providence from the local districts. Nothing to see here, though,
Just how things work, folks. The office of the New
Mexico Attorney General, Ronald Torres said last week that in
twenty nineteen it was also told to stand down facts.
That is true, one hundred percent, but they didn't have
to listen. They could have had their own investigation running concurrently.
The investigation was closed in twenty nineteen at the request
of the U. S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District
of New York. Torres said he wants them to be reopened.
The U S Attorney in twenty nineteen was Jeffrey Berman,
who was also actively investigating potential financial abuses related to
Donald Trump's twenty seventeen presidential inaugural committee and pursuing investigations
into Michael Cohen from twenty eighteen to twenty nineteen. The
document showed that on December sixth, twenty eighteen, the NYPD
SDNY n FBI Child Exploitation Human Trafficking Task Force opened
a case on Epstein. On July tenth, twenty nineteen, and
Epstein's survivor, Jennifer ARREOs, was interviewed by Guthrie for The
Today Show. She said, the recruiter knew she was fourteen.
Wait a minute, I thought nobody was young here. I
thought there was no children who were harmed. Isn't that
what some of the Epstein apologists are telling us? A
bunch of jerkofs. After the interview aired, ARREOs submitted a
New York State court filing seeking information from Epstein about
how a recruiter who allegedly worked for him Recruiteder. Her
lawsuit against Maxwell and then assistant was filed on August fourteenth,
twenty nineteen, just four days after Epstein was found dead,
so she filed the suit against his estate. The stand
down directive came in twenty nineteen. On July tenth and eleven,
one month later, Epstein went dead. By January twentieth, email
showed that the FBI was discussing the NYPDS probe of Epstein.
So the pieces of the puzzle are certainly all coming together,
and all these receipts are piling up, and all this
circumstantial evidence that has been compiled are now, in my opinion,
turning into the foundation for the biggest cover up in
the history of the United States. And if you were
wondering why they want you to move on, well here
it is. All the information that goes with this episode
