Speaker 1: And welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. As you're all aware,
we are at the Christmas break for the trial, so
obviously there's nothing groundbreaking happening in the mornings or even
in the evenings at this point. But that's okay, because
we're still going to be here adding some context, and
we're going to do that today by talking about the
grand jury transcripts from Palm Beach. Now, there was a
lot of talk a few weeks ago that this judge
was going to release these grand jury transcripts, and that
would have been a huge boost in the arm for transparency.
We all know that whatever went on in that grand
jury room in two thousand and six, it was not good,
all right. Whatever was going on in that grand jury
room based on that arrest was not up to par.
And the fact that only one of those girls was
able to give their story in front of the grand
jury tells you everything you need to know about the
prosecutors and about the whole entire scenario that unfolded this
prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein. The original prosecution was legitimately one
of the biggest travesties of justice perhaps ever. When you
look at the grand scope of it all, and you
look at the disgusting nature of his crimes and the
wake of misery he left. I mean, it's hard not
to look at it like that. And the fact that
Barry Krisher and the State Prosecutor's Office in Florida worked
hand in hand with Dershowitz and left Gowitz and the
rest of Jeffrey Epstein's legal team to not only get
him off, but to destroy his own witnesses, Barry Kirsher's
own witnesses, meaning these girls, is just unbelievable to me.
And you have this judge down there in Palm Beach,
you know, one of the good old boys, one of
the been around forevers, still mucking things up, still not
interested in transparency. You would think, after all these years
and all of the scrutiny over the Jeffrey Epstein case,
that some of these judges would wise up by now.
But like I always say, they think they're feudal lords
and these courtrooms are their fiefdoms and they can do
whatever they want. And these lifetime elected, lifetime appointed judges
bad news. Folks talk about people who are power hungry.
Every now and then you'll run across one of these
judges like this guy, and you just shake your head.
But there's been a lot of them when it comes
to the Jeffrey Epstein case. A lot of these judges,
a lot of these people in positions of power, have
failed these girls time and time again. And with this
latest blow, this judge not going to release these transcripts.
It's just another victory for the scumbags and just another
hurdle in the way of those who are trying to
bring those scumbags to justice. This morning, we have an
article from the Palm Beach Post and the author is
Jane Musgrave. Was the Jeffrey Epstein case intentionally sunk? Judge
won't excuse me, Judge won't release secret grand jury papers.
And again it's another blow to transparency. It's another blow
to those of us who want the truth, and it
just again throws up another curtain over what everybody perceives
at this point is government mal seasons. You would think
that they'd want to expose that, right, you would think
that they'd want to put that on blast, But that's
not how it works. They're going to cover your ass
mode and they got to protect the other scumbags that
they work with and it's just such a dog and
pony show at this point, and the illusion that there's
a fair justice system, the illusion that there isn't a
two tier justice system is being shattered on a regular
basis at this point. A Palm Beach County Circuit judge
on Monday refused to release secret documents that could explain
why a two thousand and six grand jury indicted serial
child molester Jeffrey Epstein on a single charge of prostitution
despite evidence that showed he abused more than a dozen
girls at his Palm Beach mansion. Now let that sink
in for those of you who aren't really completely up
to date on the case, you know, those of you
who have you know, had a life for the last
three years, this might seem like, what the hell are
you talking about here? How is that even possible? But
this is what they've been dealing with, meaning the survivors
from the beginning, law enforcement has not been on their side.
Law enforcement, in fact, a lot of the time has
worked against them. And you see it here again when
you have this judge who makes the decision that these
grand jury documents will not see the light of day,
as if it's some sort of national security issue where
nobody should ever see those grand jury documents. Now, I
understand if there was a legitimate reason, a legitimate issue,
keeping those documents from the public, But there's no legitimate
reason unless, of course, you're trying to cover for somebody, unless,
of course, you're trying to protect your friends in a
In a ten page order circuit, Judge Donald Haffel rejected
arguments by attorneys for the Palm Beach Post who pushed
him to release the records, citing a rarely used state
law that allows the secrecy of grand of the grand
jury to be pierced to further the interests of justice.
And if this isn't a case where that hits home,
I don't know what is. These grand jury testimony should
be on the uh uh uh uh excuse me released.
They shouldn't be hidden from the public for all of
these years, especially if it moves the interests of justice,
and it certainly would, considering the non prosecution agreement is
based on all of this, So to get rid of
that non prosecution agreement, wouldn't it stand to reason that
having these grand jury documents released would go a long
way to making that occur. While Halfel noted the newspaper
offered strong arguments. He said he was bound by the
state's law. The court rules against the newspaper because the
established and binding maxims of Florida law constrain it to
do so, Halfley wrote. Halfly wrote, and again we know
that that's not one hundred percent the case. If it
promotes the interest of justice, as according to the state
law in Florida, then the documents can be released, the
transcripts can be released. But they don't have any interest
in doing that. Him, the other judge that's involved in this,
Krystal Marx, all of them had ties to Barry Krisher
or other people involved in the case. That's how these
things work with these bureaucrats. They're all friends, they're all
going to the same company functions, and on and on
and on it goes. We've discussed it a lot here
on this podcast. You're not buying the lawyer for what
they're going to do in the courtroom. For the most part,
you're paying for a lawyer for the connections they have
outside of the courtroom, for the access they can get
you to the prosecutor's office. Why do you think in
a situation like Maxwell's, she hires somebody like Christian. Ever
do ex prosecutor has a lock with the SDNY knows
all of the prosecutors. They're all probably chummy. They probably
go to barbecues together, you know what I'm talking about.
While state law allows the release of grand jury records
to further the interest of justice, he said, it is
clear the legislature intended that exception to be used only
in pending criminal or civil cases. So just because this
happened a while back, and now Epstein's dead, let's just
forget it ever happened, We'll just move on. And you
know what it is. What it is. Sorry, the girls
who are victimized, no justice for them. It's basically what
this judge is saying. And I mean it shouldn't shock
anybody considering, you know what we see these judges do
on a regular basis from the bench here in America.
But you would think that something like this, with all
of the interests surrounding it, all of the questions that
still need to be answered, that if you were a judge,
you'd say to yourself, you know what, in the interests
of justice, in the interests of moving the truth forward,
I'm going to release these transcripts, and that's what the
law is put on the books for. But unfortunately this
judge didn't want to interpret the interpret it that way. Instead,
the newspaper advocates a more expensive interpretation of the term.
He wrote, the newspaper wants the ability to publish the
materials and reference them and its reporting, and also to
make the materials available to the public. Yeah, that's how
this works, judge. Okay, the public is interested in a
case that's probably one of the mos most corrupt of
all time. So yeah, there is going to be a
bit of hesitancy, to trust you. There is going to
be a bit of cynicism when it comes to court rulings,
and the fact that you want to keep this stuff
away from the public is just going to feed into
conspiracy theories and outlandish thoughts. The government plays a huge
part in all of that. They could stem and stop
a whole bunch of the conspiracy stuff with a whole
lot of different topics if they just stop their bullshit.
But they don't want to ever be transparent. They want
to keep everything private. Everything's a national security issue, isn't it,
And that's what they'll say, Or if you're looking to
get information about something, say like Jeffrey Epstein's first alleged
suicide attempt, what they'll say is the information is unavailable
because it's still part of an ongoing investigation, and that
ongoing investigation has to do with Tartaglioni. So they'll just
run you in circles for as long as possible, and
if somehow you do get some Freedom of Information Act
information from them, it'll be heavily redacted or partial. You'll
never get the full story like the newspapers. Attorneys. Halfel
said the transcripts could help answer troublesome questions about why
the politically connected, multimillionaire pedophile escaped serious punishment. Some claim
that then state Attorney Barry Krisher was improperly influenced by
Epstein's high octane defense team. I agree with that. I
definitely think he was. When you go back and you
look at all of the documentation, and you look at
the reporting, and you look at how things broke, it's
very obvious that he wasn't working as an advocate for
these survivors, and neither was the Prosecutor's Office of Florida
or a hell, the federal prosecutor's office either, because remember,
while LaCosta was the one who was the direction man, right,
the guy who was considered the quote unquote boss on
the ground, he had people to answer to as well.
He's just a mid level bureaucrat. He don't make decisions
like this. He had to kick that up the chain
to move Muksi and the rest of them. So they
all failed from the top down, from the federal government
all the way down to the state and now all
the way back to this judge. Absolute failures a top
of absolute failures. It may very well be that the
disclosure of Jeffrey Epstein's grand jury records could reveal the
fair treatment did not occur, and that mister Epstein might
have escaped appropriate punishment through some failing of our justice system.
Haffel said, yeah, well, how about releasing the documents then instead,
you'll just sit on them, right like a dragon hoarding
its gold. Post hasn't decided whether to appeal, but he
said state law can't be ignored on a whim or
to satisfy the public's curiosity. The court's interpretation of the
scope of the state law end of the phrase furthering
justice is governed and constrained by the established rules of
statutory construction, Halfley wrote. Attorneys for the posts said they
were reviewing the order and had not yet decided whether
to appeal. I really hope they do. I mean, I
know it's an extra cost on them to appeal stuff
like this, and the attorney fees get to be a
bit excessive. But you would think that in the interest
of justice, in the interest of transparency, that they would
release this documentation. And really what it comes down to
is this judge's interpretation of the law. That's all it is.
But he said state law can't be ignored on a
whim or to satisfy the public's curiosity. In a statement,
a comptroller and Clerk of the Courts, Joe Abruzzo, said
that while he hired a top media lawyer to represent
his office in the lawsuit, he wasn't against the newspaper's request.
While Florida's statute is clear on its prohibition of releasing
information from grand jury cases, I want to be clear
that I have absolutely no objection to releasing grand jury
information in the Epstein case if directed by the court.
A Bruso said, so, what the comptroller is saying, look,
I'll release this information, but I have to be directed
to do so by the court. That's the only way
that I can release this. And once again it goes
back to the judges. These guys running around like their
Taiwan lanister in the courtroom. He hired Shane Voight, a
Tampa attorney who won a one hundred and forty million
dollars verdict against Gawker on behalf of retired professional wrestler
Hulk Hogan and has represented others in fights against news outlets,
to represent the office. During a hearing on October twenty second,
Void argued that if half of approved the newspaper's request,
it would open the floodgates for others to do the same. Well,
so what open the floodgates and then on a case
by case basis decide what should or what shouldn't be released?
Why is that so difficult? Oh? Is it going to
cause extra work for the clerks? God forbid? I mean,
are we supposed to just slow everything down? And you know, oh,
well let's wait on things here, because you know, we
don't have enough time or enough people. I don't even
understand what any of it means. The floodgates will open. Well,
if they're legitimate requests, then maybe the floodgates need to
be opened. Halfel said he could craft a narrow order
that would assure the clerk wouldn't be inundated with demands
for grand jury records. Still, he said, after reviewing the law,
he determined the documents must remain secret. State Attorney Dave
Ahrenberg declined to comment on Halfle's decision. While the paper
initially named him in the lawsuit, he was dropped after
he claimed he didn't have the records. Executives of the newspaper,
which is owned by Gannett Gannet Company, said they were
disappointed by Halfle's decision. Yeah, you would think so. Right.
As a newspaper organization, the idea is to get as
much information to the public as possible, let the public decide.
And what better way to do that than to provide
raw data such as transcripts. I don't need the middleman, right,
provide us with the transcripts, provide us with the information
that we need, and let us decide what's going on
here as the public. But no, they'll keep everything hidden.
And then what he'll do is he'll cite some obscure
law here. Oh well, it'll cause a flood of other requests,
and all of it is nonsense. Whenever I hear any
of this stuff, all I hear is no, we don't
want to be transparent. No, you can't know the truth.
That's basically what I hear every time they start in
on the nonsense. While the Post appreciates the court's consideration
of the issues, we respectfully disagree with the legal conclusion
that public access to the Epstein grand jury materials is
not warranted under the circumstances, said Marrable Perez Wadsworth, president
of Gannett News USA Today Network and publisher of USA Today.
It is our right and responsibility to report all aspects
of this case, and we will continue to diligently seek
the facts in our pursuit of transparency. Can argue with
that and props to them for doing it. I mean,
is it too much to ask to have some transparency
or as the public to have the proper information in
a case that is so important. Post Executive editor Rich
Christy echoed those sentiments. For sixteen years, the Post has
been driven to report on the heinous acts of Jeffrey Epstein.
For two reasons, justice for the victimized girls and accountability
for our readers. He said, today's ruling by Circuit Judge Haffl,
while disappointing, does not deter us from our mission of
furthering justice for Epstein's young victims. The Post will always
fight to shine a spotlight wherever it is needed to
expose the actions or in actions of those charged with
serving and protecting the public period. He concluded, Hey, I'll
tell you what, I'm all for that, and I'll be
right here with you, ryding shotgun as far as trying
to get these transcripts, because it's a big deal. It's
a huge deal. And I can't express enough how important
that non prosecution agreement is in protecting these people. Still,
and all of this plays such a huge part in
that the ruling was a blow to efforts to unravel
the sordid case that grabbed international attention. It also came
on a day that a federal jury in New York
began deliberating whether Epstein's longtime girlfriend, co conspirator Gleain Maxwell
recruited in groom teens for his pleasure. The fifty nine
year old British socialite co conspirator general all around scusbag
bipedal serpent faces a lengthy prison term if connected if
convicted of multiple charges in connection with the sex trafficking scheme.
During the October hearing, the newspaper's attorneys argued that the
case was unique. More than fifteen years has passed. Epstein
is dead, so none of the information can be used
against him. The sixty six year old financier pedophile who
counted former President Bill Clinton and Britain's Prince Andrew his friends,
hung himself allegedly in a Manhattan jail cell in August
twenty nineteen while awaiting trial on dozens of sex trafficking
charges in New York. Again, he's dead. None of this
information can be used against him or anything like that.
So I don't understand how it won't be released. Now. Look,
if he was still alive and there was a chance
that this information could be used or all right, I
get it. I might not agree with it, but I
get it. I don't agree with it, and I don't
get it in this instance. The guy's dead. He's rotting.
It's time for transparency. A dozen girls said they were
sexually abused. Only one testified as part of a twenty
nineteen investigation titled The First Failure. Sources familiar with the
grand jury proceedings told the Post that while more than
a dozen teens told Palm Beach police that Epstein molested them,
only one, a fourteen year old girl, was called to testify.
And this is what I talk about a lot in
reference how only one girl was called to give testimony,
and how it flashes shades to what we saw here
in the Maxwell trial with only four girls being called. Well,
I understand the scopes a little bit different. It's just
for those of us who have been through this already,
it's concerning to see the sources said Krishier's top lieutenants
villified the team. Instead of focusing on the abuse she
suffered at the hands of the wealthy pedophile, they quizzed
her about her social media activity, which included references to
boys and drinking. Her posts on her MySpace page were
given were given to Kursher by Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz,
one of Epstein's top flight attorneys. And that was the
strategy then, it's the strategy now, and it'll continue to
be the strategy until these juries wake up and start
convicting these people. We all know that the girls were
absolutely destroyed by not only the authorities, but by Epstein's attorneys.
Oh they're talking to boys. They were smoking weed, they
drank on their MySpace page. Really, let me ask you,
how many of you out there, as young teenagers didn't
do any of those things? I know we all did.
I know I did. If you're gonna base my life
on what I did as a young man, then a boy,
I'll tell you I'd be in big trouble. Her alleged
treatment by state prosecutors could explain why grand jurors indicted
Epstein on the lone prostitution charge instead of multiple counts
of child molestation that were sought by the police. The
prostitution charge ignored the tender age of Epstein's accusers and
the fact that teens under the age of eighteen couldn't
legally consent to sex. We've talked about that from the
jump too. How can you even call a girl under
eighteen a prostitute when they can't even consent to sex?
How is that event in logical? Legal experts say prosecutors
will tremendous influence over grand jurors who aren't skilled in
the law. Cynically, some embrace a time honored maxim that
a prosecutor, if he desired, could indict a ham sandwich.
And this is a fact as well. You know, the
grand jury rooms are places where indictments definitely come down
at a huge swell. The statement you get a ham
sandwich indicted at a grand jury certainly rings true because
it's something that a lot of people talk about who
are in the know. After his death, scores of young
women came forward publicly describing how Epstein sexually assaulted them
at his home in Palm Beach, his penthouse apartment in Manhattan,
his ranch in New Mexico, and his private island in
the Virgin Islands. Some said he forced them to have
sex with his celebrity friends while aboard his private jet,
the Lolita Express. Yes, many teen victims were from Palm
Beach County, like teens from Royal Palm Beach and John I.
Leonard High Schools. Many were lured to Epstein's homes with
the promise of being paid two hundred dollars to give
him a massage. He greeted them wearing little more than
a towel. He offered to pay them more, to disrobe,
let him fondle them, and to have sex. Boy, what
does that all sound like? Sounds like a bunch of
testimony we just heard, doesn't it. Imagine this testimony mirrors
that testimony. And if they would have actually done their
job during this first arrest and had more than one
of the victims give their testimony to the Grand Jerry,
a lot of this could have been stopped. Perhaps the girls,
some from hardscrabble backgrounds, were promised careers in high fashion
college educations or other perchs that were beyond their reach.
The Grand Jerry mark the beginning of when the case
bunaut of control. Angry at Chrisher's handling, at his agent's
angry at Chrishier's handling of his agency's investigation, Palm Beach
Police Chief Michael Ryder went to the FBI. Ultimately, in
his secret deal, South Florida attorney Alex Acosta agreed to
shell of a fifty three page federal indictment against Epstein
if he would plead guilty to state prostitution charges. And
now remember it's not just a costa here. He's the
scumbag with no spine, no doubt about it, and he
deserves his infamy for his role. But he wasn't the
one who made the decision. He might have been the
one who, you know, filed it up the chain of command,
but he didn't okay it, that's for sure. As part
of the so called non prosecution agreement, Krisher added a
charge of solicitation of a minor for prostitution. Federal prosecutors
insisted on the second charge because it would force Epstein
to register as a sex offender. How that work out
in New Mexico. Oh, that's right. He didn't have to
register there because he knew. He planned all of this.
He took precautions. On June thirtieth, two thousand and eight,
Epstein pleaded guilty in Palm Beach County Circuit Court to
both prostitution charges. He served thirteen months of an eighteen
month sentence in a largely vacant wing of the county stockade.
He was given liberal work release privileges. He was allowed
to spend up to twelve hours a day, six days
a week working at a private foundation he created months earlier.
The fallout from what one state prosecutor described as the
deal of the century, was far reaching if delayed, and
not only was Epstein out, according to some of these
other accusers, he was abusing them while he was out
on this work release program. Fantastic job done by the
federal government. Huh, fantastic job done by the Florida state authorities.
After Epstein was charged in New York, a Costa resigned
as former President Donald Trump's labor secretary when questions were
raised about his involvement in crafting the non prosecution agreement.
Before his resignation, a Costa sought to blame Krisher. He
claimed he was forced to clean up a mess Krisher
created when the state prosecutor refused to file serious charges
against Epstein. Acosta pointed out that Krisher originally offered to
allow Epstein to plead guilty to aggravate an assault, serve
no jail time, and have the felony record a rased
if he complied with the terms of his probation. That
was unacceptable, Acosta said during a nationally televised news conference.
So basically, it's a point hum game, right, you did it,
he did it, she did it. And in reality, what
they do is they cause enough confusion then that nobody's
held responsible. Krisher responded that Acosta was attempting to rewrite
history repaired statement. He said, I can emphatically state that
mister Acosta's recollection of this matter is completely wrong. A
federal investigation in twenty twenty found that Acosta place too
much trust in Krisher. A two year state investigation completed
last year concluded that Krisher had little input into the
nonprofit prosecution agreement and found no wrongdoing. State investigators were
denied access to the grand jury proceedings. So not only
has the public locked out, they locked out the state
investigators who were investigating wrongdoing here in the FDL report. Yeah,
nothing to see here, folks, keep on moving. Everything is
just fine. We're all fine. After Epstein died, authorities in
the US Virgin Islands worked with those who were administering
his estate to set up a fund to compensate his victims.
They wrapped up their work in August after paying slightly
more than one hundred and twenty one million to more
than one hundred and thirty five people, According to the
New York Times, Look, this is a situation that, obviously,
as you can tell here, has been going on for
quite some time, and there was hope that this judge
was going to release these grand jury documents. Well that's
not going to occur. So the battle continues for transparency, folks,
and we'll continue to report on it and we'll continue
to talk about it until there's some movement and we
finally get a glimpse behind the curtain. All right, folks,
that's gonna do it for me today, and I'll be
back later on, obviously with a evening update and expect
some more context episodes as well. If you'd like to

we discussed can be found in the description box. What's
up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. One
of the biggest farces in the history of Varses is
the fact that Jeffrey Epstein received that sweetheart deal that
he received that should have never happened. It should have
never went down, and everybody involved in that sweetheart deal
should lose their pensions, should not have a job working
for the federal government and should be looked at for
perhaps even losing their law license. And I truly mean
that when I say it. That's how big of a
travesty this was. To think that any prosecutor anywhere in
the country would give this guy this kind of deal
is just beyond me. And then for the court system
the government to say that there is no legal basis
to invalidate the sweetheart deal is even more absurd. So
what you're telling me is there are no levers to
pull on if something goes wrong in the legal system,
we just have to deal with it. Huh. Seems like
every time something goes south in the legal system, it
always ends up going in the favor of the federal government,
never in the favor of the people. And once again
we're seeing that here. So what you're telling me is
you're rich buddies like Jeffrey Epstein who get these stupid
ass non prosecution deals handed to them by their friends
and government are just allowed to have them, and there's
no recourse. There's no way to go back and look
at one of these deals and say it was done
in bad faith and get rid of it. Just another
loophole and technicality for the so called the lead. Huh.
Today we have another article from Law on Crime. Author
of this article, Jerry Lamb, headlined, Federal prosecutors say there's
no legal basis to invalidate Jeffrey Epstein's sweetheart deal. Well,
I say that needs to be looked at. Then maybe
they need to come up with a new solution here
where in the future, if a deal like this is given,
a panel can be put together and the panel can
look at it and say, you know what, this is
not a deal that we're comfortable with, because this is
unacceptable and it can never happen again. The Department of
Justice on Monday rejected efforts by the survivors of Jeffrey
Epstein to get a sweetheart non prosecution deal thrown out
so that Epstein can be prosecuted for alleged abuse of
dozens of underage girls. Now imagine being the judge who
denies this. In a thirty five page motion first reported
by the Miami Herald, federal prosecutors claim that Jeffrey Epstein's
survivors have no legal basis to invalidate the non prosecution agreement.
The same agreement the judge in the case previously said
broke the law. So you see what's going on here.
You have judges saying that this agreement broke the law.
Then you have a court saying, oh, well, no, there's
no recourse here for this because there's nothing that was invalid.
So they can't even figure it out as far as
the legal system itself, what's right or wrong here, And
then they expect us just to stomach it and suck
it down and be okay with it. No way, there
is no chance that this legal agreement should have stood.
There is no chance that it should stand at all.
And in fact, it's ridiculous that anyone would refer to
this and try and use it as a defense. As
we found out in the previous article, it holds no
water unless you're down in Florida. Many of Epstein's survivors
were middle school and high school girls between the ages
of thirteen and sixteen who were recruited from the local
South Florida area. According to prosecutors, despite a judge's earlier
ruling that the Plea deal violated the Crime Victim's Rights Act,
epstein survivors cannot demand that the government take any addition
action because the CVRA did not enumerate any mandatory criminal
penalties at the time of its passing. So basically what
they're doing is using legallyes loopholes and technicalities in the
law itself that the Congress that you know, Congress passed
that Congress wrote to get their buddies off once again.
And this is how they do it, right. They put
these loopholes in these technicalities in these laws that you
or I would never be able to exploit because we
don't have the money, we don't have the legal power
in the backing to really go toe to toe with
the federal government. But somebody like Jeffrey Epstein or Glee Maxwell,
they certainly do. And when you have those resources, well,
the world is your oyster. In Monday's DJ filing by
Attorney byong Pack, who was appointed by President Donald Trump,
the government admits that the survivors were treated unfairly, but
says that prosecutors were within their rights to do so.
Real nice by bejung Pack. Huh of a guy, Hell
of a attorney here, I mean, this guy's defending Just
think about this for a minute, Okay, folks, this man
is defending this prosecution agreement all because he doesn't want
the government to have some dirt on their face. Instead
of just admitting that this deal was bad, it was garbage,
and the government shit the bed, they'll fight it to
the very end. Well at the same time telling you, oh,
we're looking for justice for these survivors. Yeah, right. In
the filing, federal prosecutors did concede that the US Attorney's
Office in South Florida failed to treat Epstein's survivors, most
of whom were thirteen to sixteen years old when they
were abused, fairly, But they said the law gives prosecutors
discretion in deciding how to dispose of a case. Survivors
have a right to confer with prosecutors, but no rights
beyond that. So basically, let's just revictimize these people and
let's make it so nobody wants to come far ever
again because there's no justice. Oh so I come forward,
and then what happens. These people are protected by their
non prosecution agreement. Then they can hire their private investigators
to come bother me again like they did to all
of the people involved. Let me be very clear with you,
if I walk out of my home and anyone's rummaging
through my trash. We're gonna have a big problem. If
I'm sitting in the street and somebody's following me around
and you don't have a badge. Once again, we're gonna
have a big problem. These people have gotten way too
comfortable thinking that they can bully people. They have gotten
way too comfortable thinking that when they walk in the
room they're the only ones with big dig energy. But
the reality is people have had enough and just normal, average,
everyday folks like you are the backbone of that. And
if they think that we're gonna stop demanding justice here
or for other victims of violent crimes, they are sorely mistaken.
PAC also warn the judge overseeing the case, Kenneth Marra,
against taking action to overrule Acosta's original decision not to
prosecute prosecute Epstein. So who is this young PAC guy
and why is he out here trying to defend Jeffrey Epstein?
Pretty interesting, right, wasn't that one of Bill Barr's guys?
Oh it was, wasn't it? Good Old Darth Barr one
of the most unreliable, untrustworthy people to ever plant their
lazy do nothing asses in Washington. D c Courts are
not to interfere with the free exercise of the discretionary
powers of the United States attorneys in their control over
criminal prosecutions. Pac said the decision whether to prosecute Epstein
lies solely within executive within the executive branch, and any
order today by this court as to what the government
must do in the future would be wholly inappropriate. So
that just gives you a little bit of an idea
of how the Justice Department has felt about Epstein and
these survivors throughout time. And it doesn't matter who the
president is, every single one of these attorney generals has
been an impediment for justice going all the way back
to Clinton. We're talking since Clinton. That's how many presidents
Jeffrey Epstein has been active under, and how many Attorney
generals stepped up and did something about it. So I
don't want to hear anything about how you know Bill
Barr was appointed by Donald Trump to get rid of
human trafficking. That's a bunch of bullshit. Meet the new boss,
same as the old boss, over and over again on repeat.
The Herald did note, however, that Pac said Epstein survivors
would be given the chance to meet with prosecutors in
private and if they desired to be heard out of
public hearing. He also said he would agree to give
federal prosecutors additional training on dealing with survivors of crimes
of this nature, basically just you know, shoving it under
the rug. And this is why I've been so critical
of the Department of Justice, of the FBI and their
handling of the Jeffrey Epstein criminal enterprise. And for all
the people out there that want to continuously play politics
about this, folks, I hate to tell you how much
more evidence do you need to see that it's both
sides of the aisle here that have, you know, chips
in the game. They don't want this to be out there.
They don't want the whole entire scope of what Epstein
was up to to be released to the public because
it's going to be damning for all of these people.
As previously reported by Law and Crime, the controversy surrounding
Epstein's plea deal dates back to two thousand and seven,
when federal prosecutors in Florida, under the leadership of current
US Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta, who was then the
US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida. Acosta's prosecutors
quietly entered to a secretive non prosecution agreement with the
billionaire pedophile, which ensured that Epstein and his cocaine conspirators
would not be prosecuted federally in exchange for Epstein's guilty
plead a much less serious state prostitution charges. Epstein served
only thirteen months in a county jail, and the prost
prostitution charges were made up. You see, folks, you can't
have a prostitute who's under age, right, So how do
you have prostitution charges at all? It was child molestation,
child grooming, and child trafficking, point blank period. Additionally, a
Costa's dealer ensured that Epstein's co conspirators were all shielded
from prosecution under what is now viewed as an extraordinarily
unprecedented agreement, and was followed by the FBI's ongoing probe
being shut down. So the probe was shut down too,
by the way. Imagine you're one of these FBI agents
who's working on this, and some jerkof suit bureaucrat walks
in and says, well, that's a wrap. Boys, shut it
all down. And again that's why my criticism is mainly
directed at the bureaucrats of the FBI. Folks, Please don't
get that confused. The rank and file agents that are
out there doing their job. I don't have any beef
with them. People are out there doing their job, I
get it. My problem is with the bureaucrats out here
playing games. They'll act like they don't give a damn
about what's going on here, but god forbid you get
on the wrong side of them politically, and they're gonna
come after you full bore. Jack Scarola, a former prosecutor
representing one of Epstein's survivors, told The Herald that a
prosecutor's discretion in granting plea deals, while broad, is far
from unlimited. He specifically noted that a defendant's victims have
the right to appeal a plea deal at sentencing. This
was not the case here as Epstein Anacosta's office reached
their plea deal without conferring with any of Epstein's survivors.
And then you wonder why people again are saying this
deal was corrupt. The whole thing is garbage. It's all gross. Well,
this is why, and that's why we're going back and
going over some of these articles and laying the groundwork again.
You know, that stupid ass article from NPR talking about
conspiracy theories when they should be digging into what went
on here really launched me into orbit and send your
boy on basically a crusade where we're gonna go back
and cover all of this again for all of the
new listeners, all of the people who might not have
heard it the first time around, and with a fresh eye,
because if there's anything that's absurd here, if there's anything
that's disgusting, it's this sweetheart deal. Courts reject plea deals
when they find them to be unjustifiable and unreasonable, especially
if they are not told the full scope of the agreement,
Scrolla said. He also said separately that Congress did not
contemplate the extraordinary circumstances of this conspiracy between the government
and a serial child molester. I disagree with that. I'm
sure they did, and they don't care point blank how
many times has the government hopped into bed with some
disgusting animal. Scrolla previously predicted the Epstein deal would be revoked.
Pac who took over Epstein's case in March, was joined
in submitting Monday's brief by US attorney Jill E. Steinberg
and Nathan P. Kitchens. Once again, folks, you see what's
going on here. You see that this is absurd, and
you see why people are fired up about it. Yet
we have no answers. We don't have any allies in Congress.
Do we have any allies in Congress or the Senate
that want justice here? We sure do not. Nobody calling
for hearings, nobody calling for subpoenas, nobody getting their phone
record seized, not a damn thing, and the band just
plays on. So it's left to us to continue to
demand justice. And the best way to do that, the
best way to get people to act when they're being
inactive is to embarrass them. So that's what we'll continue
to do. We'll shine a spotlight on the pispoor job
done by the Department of Justice until they get off there,
do nothing, asses, and get some justice. All right, folks,
