1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.919
<v Speaker 1>What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.

2
00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:09.800
<v Speaker 1>When I talk about corruption surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, his prosecution

3
00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:14.080
<v Speaker 1>or lack of prosecution, and his criminal enterprise, it's not

4
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:16.519
<v Speaker 1>like I'm just pulling this shit right out of the air.

5
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:20.160
<v Speaker 1>All you have to do is take the time to

6
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:23.320
<v Speaker 1>do the deep dive, and all of the information is

7
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:26.760
<v Speaker 1>right there for you. It wasn't just the federal government

8
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:31.920
<v Speaker 1>who failed these survivors. It was also several different local governments.

9
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:35.320
<v Speaker 1>We've talked a lot about Florida, We've talked a lot

10
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:40.000
<v Speaker 1>about Balderis over in New Mexico. But New York and

11
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:45.039
<v Speaker 1>the state prosecutors most assuredly failed these survivors as well.

12
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:47.880
<v Speaker 1>In fact, I would take it a step further and say,

13
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:53.039
<v Speaker 1>in New York, it's even more of a transgression considering

14
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:56.759
<v Speaker 1>this was happening right under their noses. You mean to

15
00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:00.280
<v Speaker 1>tell me they weren't getting any whispers about what Jeffrey

16
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:02.719
<v Speaker 1>Epstein was up to in their office. I know that's

17
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:06.680
<v Speaker 1>a damn lie, because the survivors themselves were telling them

18
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:11.159
<v Speaker 1>about what Epstein was up to. So they really have

19
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:13.760
<v Speaker 1>no leg to stand on here acting like they didn't

20
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:17.120
<v Speaker 1>know who Epstein was or what he was. They most

21
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:21.920
<v Speaker 1>certainly did, and the truth of the matter is they

22
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:24.400
<v Speaker 1>just didn't care. Because if they really wanted to go

23
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:27.200
<v Speaker 1>after him, if they really wanted to get Jeffrey Epstein,

24
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:32.040
<v Speaker 1>as we've established in the previous articles, the prosecution agreement

25
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:36.680
<v Speaker 1>in Florida, it meant nothing. In New York. They did

26
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:40.000
<v Speaker 1>not want to go after him. And we can debate

27
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:42.280
<v Speaker 1>the reasoning why they didn't want to go after him.

28
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:44.840
<v Speaker 1>I obviously have my own opinions, and I'm sure a

29
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:47.040
<v Speaker 1>lot of other people out there have their own opinions,

30
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:51.040
<v Speaker 1>But for me, it seems to be very simple. The

31
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:53.959
<v Speaker 1>idea of exposing all of this is the last thing

32
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:59.640
<v Speaker 1>the authorities wanted to do, so why go after it

33
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:03.200
<v Speaker 1>with the gusto that they should. Instead, they'll give you

34
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:07.359
<v Speaker 1>some low hanging fruit. Maxwell will get arrested. Jeffrey Epstein

35
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:09.800
<v Speaker 1>got arrested. But that was going to be the end

36
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:12.479
<v Speaker 1>of it, right. We're never gonna hear anything else about

37
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:14.719
<v Speaker 1>what went on, at least not in the Maxwell trial.

38
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:18.120
<v Speaker 1>If Epstein would have stood trial, I think we would

39
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:21.319
<v Speaker 1>have got a lot more about the inner workings of

40
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:25.039
<v Speaker 1>the machine. Perhaps, but with Maxwell. I don't think the

41
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.560
<v Speaker 1>juice was worth the squeeze for the government or her,

42
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:31.280
<v Speaker 1>and the government knew that they had to give a

43
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:33.840
<v Speaker 1>hunk of meat to the people at this point, they

44
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:36.919
<v Speaker 1>had no other choice. But for all of these years,

45
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:40.719
<v Speaker 1>Jeffrey Epstein and his associates were protected, and they used

46
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:44.680
<v Speaker 1>the precedent of that stupid ass non prosecution agreement as

47
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:48.159
<v Speaker 1>the basis of that protection. I've said that was ridiculous

48
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:50.879
<v Speaker 1>from Jump Street, and I'll continue to say that. Do

49
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:53.719
<v Speaker 1>you really think if it was a mafioso who was

50
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>living in New York and you know, had a non

51
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:59.360
<v Speaker 1>prosecution agreement in Florida, that that would stop the government

52
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.199
<v Speaker 1>from going after him in New York. Of course it wouldn't.

53
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:06.240
<v Speaker 1>But that mafioso doesn't have the same government ties that

54
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Maxwell and Epstein does or did, so he can't rock

55
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:15.280
<v Speaker 1>the boat as much. So let's go after him. And unfortunately,

56
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:18.360
<v Speaker 1>that's just the way I see it. Maybe I'm being cynical,

57
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:24.280
<v Speaker 1>but the federal government and these local governments, their behavior

58
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:26.919
<v Speaker 1>has led me down this path. I didn't just wake

59
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:29.240
<v Speaker 1>up one morning and say, ah, you know what, everybody

60
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:37.479
<v Speaker 1>screwed up here? Article after article report after report, cataloging

61
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:40.400
<v Speaker 1>all of the screw ups here, all of the irregular

62
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:45.840
<v Speaker 1>irregularities here, and we're just gonna chalk it all up

63
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:49.879
<v Speaker 1>to coincidence. Well, we're not gonna do that here on

64
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:54.080
<v Speaker 1>this podcast. We'll save that for other people. Today, we

65
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.520
<v Speaker 1>have an article from vox headline, the state of New

66
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:03.360
<v Speaker 1>York protected Jeffrey Epstein not as serve. A Manhattan prosecutor

67
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.319
<v Speaker 1>asked for Epstein to receive the lowest level sex offender

68
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>status and Epstein never checked in with New York City

69
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:15.919
<v Speaker 1>police as required by law. Now, remember the Kalif Prouder story. Okay,

70
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Khalif Prouder, sixteen years old, gets arrested for allegedly stealing

71
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:23.079
<v Speaker 1>someone's backpack that he said he never stole, and this

72
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:25.600
<v Speaker 1>kid ends up sitting on Riker's Island for what nine

73
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:29.920
<v Speaker 1>hundred days or something. Meanwhile, Jeffrey Epstein is running a

74
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:34.279
<v Speaker 1>human trafficking ring, molesting girls, raping girls, being involved in

75
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:38.839
<v Speaker 1>money laundering, being involved in election finance rigging, you name it,

76
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:44.040
<v Speaker 1>and he doesn't even have to check in with the police. Yeah,

77
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:50.360
<v Speaker 1>there's equitable justice. This article was authored by Jane Coosten,

78
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Secretary of labor Alexandra Acosta has faced criticism for making

79
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:01.240
<v Speaker 1>a sweetheart deal with convicted sex offender Jeff Epstein that

80
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:05.160
<v Speaker 1>cut a serious prison sentence on sex trafficking charges down

81
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:08.240
<v Speaker 1>to just thirteen months in a private wing of a

82
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:11.800
<v Speaker 1>Palm Beach jail. You know, pom Beach is a shithole, Folks,

83
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:14.040
<v Speaker 1>breaking news if you didn't know that. Pom Beach is

84
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:18.759
<v Speaker 1>a shithole and it's filled with a bunch of undesirable characters.

85
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:24.160
<v Speaker 1>But he is not the only criminal justice official who

86
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:28.560
<v Speaker 1>failed Epstein's survivors. A Costa held a press conference in

87
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Washington Wednesday, aiming to defend himself from critics such as

88
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:35.360
<v Speaker 1>HOW speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has called on him to

89
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:38.680
<v Speaker 1>resign over his role in creating the deal. You know,

90
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:41.480
<v Speaker 1>it's funny Nancy Pelosi had a lot to say when

91
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:44.279
<v Speaker 1>she wanted a cost it or resign. It was a

92
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:46.920
<v Speaker 1>big deal then, right, So it's not a big deal anymore.

93
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Where's Nancy Pelosi coming out and defending these girls. So

94
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:58.720
<v Speaker 1>defending these survivors and demanding justice. He claimed it was

95
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:01.680
<v Speaker 1>the best outcome available at the time because jurys were

96
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:05.040
<v Speaker 1>less sensitive to accusations of sexual assault in a pre

97
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:09.959
<v Speaker 1>me too era and also blamed local law enforcement officials. Well,

98
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:13.639
<v Speaker 1>the pre me to era stuff, I don't buy that, Okay,

99
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:16.639
<v Speaker 1>if you're a disgusting sick predator, you were getting nailed

100
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:20.079
<v Speaker 1>as a disgusting sick predator. This wasn't a case that

101
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:22.759
<v Speaker 1>he said, she said. This was a case of a

102
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:27.079
<v Speaker 1>evidence a mountain high as high as Mount Everest, and

103
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:30.639
<v Speaker 1>it was federal officials that didn't want to do anything.

104
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:32.800
<v Speaker 1>They didn't have the willpower to do it. Not that

105
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:35.680
<v Speaker 1>they didn't have the capability, they didn't have the willpower.

106
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:40.759
<v Speaker 1>And to blame it on potential jurors is absolute garbagio.

107
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:47.600
<v Speaker 1>But local officials, particularly particularly those in New York, do,

108
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:51.199
<v Speaker 1>in fact have serious questions to answer about the handling

109
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:55.120
<v Speaker 1>of Epstein's case. A New York prosecutor tried to keep

110
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:57.879
<v Speaker 1>Epstein from being registered as a high level sex offender,

111
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:01.199
<v Speaker 1>and the NYPD look the other way when he didn't

112
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:04.079
<v Speaker 1>show up to court mandated check ins required by his

113
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:08.199
<v Speaker 1>sex offender status and did so for eight years, And

114
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:10.319
<v Speaker 1>then you wonder why there was no chain of custody

115
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:12.920
<v Speaker 1>with any of the evidence. You see what I mean, folks,

116
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:17.480
<v Speaker 1>This is all the big ass joke to them. Meanwhile,

117
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:22.360
<v Speaker 1>this shit has real life consequences for people, marginalized, people

118
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:25.160
<v Speaker 1>who have been forgotten about, who have been pushed to

119
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:28.480
<v Speaker 1>the side, and who have been trampled over year after year,

120
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:34.319
<v Speaker 1>day after day by shitty ass prosecutors, elected officials, and

121
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:43.120
<v Speaker 1>do nothing lawmen. The story of Jeffrey Epstein isn't about

122
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump or Bill Clinton. It's the story of a

123
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:49.480
<v Speaker 1>wealthy serial sexual predator who got away with his crimes

124
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:53.759
<v Speaker 1>for decades with the assistance of a bipartisan cadre of

125
00:07:53.879 --> 00:07:57.759
<v Speaker 1>powerful allies, including the offices that are supposed to prosecute

126
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:00.560
<v Speaker 1>such crimes. Folks, I don't know how much times I

127
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:03.480
<v Speaker 1>have to slam this one home. One thing that we

128
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:06.199
<v Speaker 1>should all be aligned on is getting rid of Jeffrey

129
00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:10.399
<v Speaker 1>Epstein and a shitty criminal enterprise. Because both sides of

130
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:13.360
<v Speaker 1>the aisle were providing him support, both sides of the

131
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:15.920
<v Speaker 1>aisle were getting money from him, and both sides of

132
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:19.040
<v Speaker 1>the aisle were rubbing shoulders with him. And both sides

133
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:21.680
<v Speaker 1>of the aisle had ample chances to take him down

134
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:24.720
<v Speaker 1>and neither of them did. So don't come at me

135
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:28.519
<v Speaker 1>with any bullshit. Okay, the proof is in the pudding

136
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:32.240
<v Speaker 1>and the gas lighting, the you know, the what about isms.

137
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:35.879
<v Speaker 1>That shit dies on arrival on this podcast. I have

138
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.720
<v Speaker 1>no time for it and no patience for it. Take

139
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:42.679
<v Speaker 1>that what about ism and shove it, because guess what.

140
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:47.600
<v Speaker 1>The whole entire political class, which there never should have

141
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:50.559
<v Speaker 1>been a political class, by the way, is corrupt from

142
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:53.639
<v Speaker 1>the top down. And the people that get out there

143
00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:56.279
<v Speaker 1>and they're all fired up about re electing these incumbents

144
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.399
<v Speaker 1>who haven't made our lives better and in fact, have

145
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.000
<v Speaker 1>just made the worse. I'll never run understand it, and

146
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:03.320
<v Speaker 1>I will never let me be very clear, I will

147
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:06.799
<v Speaker 1>never be bullied into voting for one side or the

148
00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:10.879
<v Speaker 1>other because, oh, you have to defend democracy. What sort

149
00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:15.399
<v Speaker 1>of BS tagline is that defend democracy? Defend it from?

150
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Who can I get a full on accounting of who

151
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:20.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm defending democracy from? Because to me, it looks like

152
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:28.360
<v Speaker 1>democracy is being eroded from the top down. The Manhattan

153
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:31.440
<v Speaker 1>District Attorney's Office tried to help Jeffrey Epstein based on

154
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:36.000
<v Speaker 1>a mistaken interpretation. In twenty eleven, a prosecutor from the

155
00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:40.279
<v Speaker 1>Manhattan's District Attorney's Office made an extraordinary argument before the

156
00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:44.279
<v Speaker 1>Manhattan Supreme Court sharing a hearing over Epstein, who had

157
00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:47.480
<v Speaker 1>pleaded guilty to charges in Florida of procuring a person

158
00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:52.480
<v Speaker 1>under eighteen for prostitution and felony solicitation of prostitution in

159
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:56.120
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and eight. Again, you cannot be a child

160
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:02.320
<v Speaker 1>and be a prostitute. Children can't consent. As reported by

161
00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:07.120
<v Speaker 1>The New York Times, the prosecutor Jennifer Gaffney asked a

162
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:10.799
<v Speaker 1>judge to reduce mister Epstein's sex offender status to the

163
00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:15.440
<v Speaker 1>lowest possible classification, which would have limited the personal information

164
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:18.559
<v Speaker 1>available to the public and would have kept him from

165
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:22.600
<v Speaker 1>being listed on a registry of sex offenders for life. Now,

166
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:28.240
<v Speaker 1>why would Jennifer Gaffney argue for that? Anyone have any

167
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:32.559
<v Speaker 1>quality reason why a prosecutor would be trying to argue

168
00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:36.759
<v Speaker 1>in favor of that, unless, of course, that prosecutor or

169
00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:44.080
<v Speaker 1>their office has ulterior motives. Justice Ruth Pickholtz denied the

170
00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:48.519
<v Speaker 1>request and expressed incredulity that the District Attorney's office would

171
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:51.799
<v Speaker 1>argue in support of a man accused of sexually molesting

172
00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:55.440
<v Speaker 1>dozens of teenage girls in Florida. So why would the

173
00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:58.720
<v Speaker 1>New York Prosecutor's office argue in favor of this, and

174
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:01.120
<v Speaker 1>let's remember this is the same office that showed a

175
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:05.080
<v Speaker 1>whole bunch of love to guys like Harvey Weinstein. I

176
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:07.840
<v Speaker 1>have to tell you, I'm a little overwhelmed because I

177
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:11.320
<v Speaker 1>have never seen a prosecutor's office do anything like this,

178
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:14.480
<v Speaker 1>the judge told Miss Gaffney. So once again, folks, look,

179
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:17.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm not just pulling shit out of the air, right,

180
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:19.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm not just making up reasons to be mad about

181
00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:23.960
<v Speaker 1>the behavior of the SDNY or the New York Prosecutor's Office.

182
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:27.600
<v Speaker 1>There are legitimate criticisms here that need to be on display.

183
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:31.919
<v Speaker 1>But your fourth estate, the legacy media, has failed you

184
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:34.799
<v Speaker 1>once again and instead would rather set this up so

185
00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:37.279
<v Speaker 1>that you're all fighting with each other, even over Jeffrey

186
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Epstein's crimes. That's their goal, have all of us fighting

187
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:44.039
<v Speaker 1>with each other so we're not focused on the overall picture.

188
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:46.480
<v Speaker 1>And I'll tell you what, I am not falling for it.

189
00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:50.799
<v Speaker 1>This effort was not just surprising, it directly contradicted the

190
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:54.840
<v Speaker 1>New York Board of Examiners of Sex Offenders' evaluation of Epstein,

191
00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:58.000
<v Speaker 1>whom the board viewed as a high risk sex offender.

192
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.960
<v Speaker 1>For his actions in Florida. Manhattan's District Attorney Cyrus Vance

193
00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:05.360
<v Speaker 1>said later that the request a lower Epstein's sex offender

194
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:08.559
<v Speaker 1>status was a mistake, saying in a briefing that summer.

195
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:12.039
<v Speaker 1>In reaching that conclusion, the people apparently relied on a

196
00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:17.000
<v Speaker 1>combination of a mistaken interpretation of the governing legal standards

197
00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:21.360
<v Speaker 1>and certain secondhand information about the Florida case. Such bullshit.

198
00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:23.399
<v Speaker 1>What happened was he got caught with his hand in

199
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:25.840
<v Speaker 1>the cookie jar Cyrus Vance, and then he had to

200
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:29.240
<v Speaker 1>make an excuse about it. Disgusting all the way around.

201
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:32.360
<v Speaker 1>And you would think, again, all the time it takes

202
00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:34.759
<v Speaker 1>for all of these people with these stupid ass conspiracy

203
00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:39.320
<v Speaker 1>theory articles trying to paint people with brushes, you would

204
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:41.759
<v Speaker 1>think they put some time into it and really looked

205
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:44.360
<v Speaker 1>at what was going on, they'd understand that this wasn't

206
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:49.000
<v Speaker 1>a conspiracy theory, that this was a criminal conspiracy. In fact,

207
00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:52.399
<v Speaker 1>Vance's office was under investigation last year by the state

208
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:55.440
<v Speaker 1>of New York for his decision not to prosecute Harvey

209
00:12:55.440 --> 00:13:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Weinstein on allegations of sexual misconduct, despite a recording of

210
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Weinstein admitting to groping a woman before that inquiry was paused,

211
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:08.799
<v Speaker 1>and in twenty twelve, VANCE dropped an investigation into Ivanka

212
00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:13.240
<v Speaker 1>and Donald Trump Junior for allegedly misleading condo buyers, reportedly

213
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:19.720
<v Speaker 1>after receiving a visit from Donald Trump's personal attorney Mark Kassowitz. Look,

214
00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:22.600
<v Speaker 1>we all know that Donald Trump had his hands deeply,

215
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:26.120
<v Speaker 1>deeply in the real estate market, and we all know

216
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:29.039
<v Speaker 1>about the corruption in the real estate market. That's why

217
00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:31.360
<v Speaker 1>when everybody was so gung ho and going after Donald

218
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Trump as president, I said, you guys are missing the

219
00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:37.000
<v Speaker 1>mark going in the Russier route. There's nothing there. What

220
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:39.360
<v Speaker 1>you should be doing is going after the financials that

221
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:42.200
<v Speaker 1>have to do with all of the developments. Because if

222
00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:44.559
<v Speaker 1>you really want to catch a billionaire and you want

223
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:47.480
<v Speaker 1>to make it stick, you'll go after financial crimes. That's

224
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:50.159
<v Speaker 1>the only way to get these people. Folks, haven't you

225
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:56.480
<v Speaker 1>been paying attention? Nothing else sticks, only financial crimes. As

226
00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:59.279
<v Speaker 1>a sex offender, Epstein was supposed to check in with

227
00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:03.240
<v Speaker 1>the NYPD, but he didn't. According to the New York

228
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:07.080
<v Speaker 1>State Department of Criminal Justice Services, registered sex offenders have

229
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:11.440
<v Speaker 1>several basic obligations, including report annually where they live by

230
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:17.080
<v Speaker 1>signing and returning an annual verification form to DCJS within

231
00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:21.240
<v Speaker 1>ten days after receiving it. Notified DCJS and writing of

232
00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:23.919
<v Speaker 1>a new address no later than ten days after moving,

233
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:27.840
<v Speaker 1>report in person to a local agency to have a

234
00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:31.240
<v Speaker 1>current photograph taken every three years. Level one to two

235
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:37.039
<v Speaker 1>offenders or every year. Level three offenders notified DCJS and

236
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:42.000
<v Speaker 1>writing of any institution of higher education they are attending, enrolled, living,

237
00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:45.559
<v Speaker 1>or employed. Any change in status must be reported to

238
00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:50.120
<v Speaker 1>DCJS no later than ten days after the change. Provide

239
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:55.000
<v Speaker 1>in writing, Internet service providers, internet screen names, and email accounts.

240
00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Level three offenders and offenders with the sexual predator designation

241
00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:03.000
<v Speaker 1>must person only verify their addresses every ninety days with

242
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:07.200
<v Speaker 1>law enforcement. Law enforcement may at that time photograph Level

243
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:11.759
<v Speaker 1>three offenders if that offender's appearance has changed. But Epstein,

244
00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:15.600
<v Speaker 1>a Level three registered sex offender, didn't fulfill his obligation

245
00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:19.399
<v Speaker 1>under these rules, something that would result in normal offenders

246
00:15:19.399 --> 00:15:22.480
<v Speaker 1>being sent to prison. For example, he was supposed to

247
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:25.799
<v Speaker 1>register his address in person every ninety days beginning in

248
00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:29.399
<v Speaker 1>twenty eleven, meaning that he should have reported his address

249
00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:33.080
<v Speaker 1>in person thirty four times. He never did so. Again,

250
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:38.000
<v Speaker 1>is the problem out here? People bringing this shit up?

251
00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:41.759
<v Speaker 1>Or is the problem that this all happened and nobody

252
00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:47.080
<v Speaker 1>wants to really report on it. A report by the

253
00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:49.440
<v Speaker 1>New York Posts found that Epstein never checked in with

254
00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:53.559
<v Speaker 1>the NYPD and never verified his address as the low stipulates.

255
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:57.399
<v Speaker 1>At the very least, his team certainly knew about this requirement.

256
00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:00.639
<v Speaker 1>At the same hearing where a Manhattan prosecute attempted to

257
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:04.080
<v Speaker 1>get Epstein a sex offender's status lowered, Judge Pickholt said

258
00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:06.879
<v Speaker 1>point blank that Epstein would need to register in person

259
00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:11.759
<v Speaker 1>with law enforcement every ninety days. The NYPD cop assigned

260
00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:15.840
<v Speaker 1>to monitor Epstein has repeediately complained to Vance sex Crimes

261
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Unit that Epstein wasn't in compliance, according to a source

262
00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:22.960
<v Speaker 1>familiar with the matter, but prosecutors told the cop to

263
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:26.519
<v Speaker 1>merely send Epstein a letter reminding him of his reporting requirement.

264
00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Now would that happen for anybody else? And it just

265
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:33.879
<v Speaker 1>again shines a spotlight that the rank and file, for

266
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:35.799
<v Speaker 1>the most part, want to do the right thing, meaning

267
00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:40.320
<v Speaker 1>the police, meaning the FBI, But their bosses are the problem.

268
00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:44.279
<v Speaker 1>Guys like Cyrus Vance and these unelected bureaucrats that get

269
00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:50.039
<v Speaker 1>in the way. Instead of registering every ninety days, as

270
00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:53.279
<v Speaker 1>a Level three sex offender. Epstein attended movie premieres and

271
00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:56.600
<v Speaker 1>hosted dinner parties for the rich and famous, all the

272
00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:00.639
<v Speaker 1>while allegedly building a home treasure trove of pornograph material

273
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:04.440
<v Speaker 1>featuring very young women with CDs bearing handwritten labels like

274
00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Miscellaneous Nudes won and Girl Picks Nudes. And the entities

275
00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:15.079
<v Speaker 1>tasked with protecting the public from Epstein did nothing. So

276
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:19.279
<v Speaker 1>that's Vox saying it, not Fox News. This isn't you know,

277
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:25.039
<v Speaker 1>coming from Breitbart or good old Tucker Carlson. This is

278
00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:27.680
<v Speaker 1>a problem, folks, and it needs to be addressed. This

279
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:30.359
<v Speaker 1>is the real problem. You want to talk about, issues,

280
00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:33.359
<v Speaker 1>you want to talk about, Jeffrey Epstein. The real problem

281
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:36.440
<v Speaker 1>is that we were felled at every step of the

282
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:39.880
<v Speaker 1>way by the federal government, by state governments, and by

283
00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:44.000
<v Speaker 1>local governments, and none of them have been forced to

284
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:47.000
<v Speaker 1>take accountability for what has happened. Each and every time

285
00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:50.240
<v Speaker 1>their behavior has been glossed over by the court, has

286
00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:53.279
<v Speaker 1>been glossed over by a prosecutor, and it's all been good.

287
00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:56.440
<v Speaker 1>Well guess what. Nothing about this case is good and

288
00:17:56.559 --> 00:17:59.400
<v Speaker 1>everything about it is garbage, and the way it was

289
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:03.039
<v Speaker 1>prosecuted has been garbage since day one and it still

290
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:08.599
<v Speaker 1>hasn't changed. So if you're wondering why I'm so critical

291
00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:11.559
<v Speaker 1>of all of the bodies who were involved in this,

292
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:15.000
<v Speaker 1>meaning at the top of the food chain, here's another
