Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Epstein Chronicles. Whenever the name Jeffrey Epstein gets brought up,
the federal government is quick to have an explanation for
what Jeffrey Epstein actually was and what he was up to.
The only problem with that is that the official narrative,
their official explanations very rarely, if ever, are true. And
the more information that comes out via the files and
people coming forward, the more obvious it is to anybody
paying attention. And as I was making my way through
the files, I stumbled upon a very interesting document that
memorialized the analysis of a pen register and trap and
trace on one of Epstein's telephone numbers. And according to
this warrant, according to this analysis, Jeffrey Epstein and numbers
associated with him were in touch with a lot of
people an organized crime. And of course we know that
Jeffrey Epstein was moving money and bundling money, and we
know that people in the world of organized crime always
need somebody like that to help them out. So was
Epstein also bundling money for various transnational criminal groups? Very possible,
very very possible, because remember, when you're somebody like Epstein,
You're operating in a world filled with scumbags, so it
makes sense that you're associating and doing business with other scumbags.
So yesterday evening, when I saw this article from CBS,
it caught my attention, mainly because it connects to this
trapp Trace analysis that I was looking at. And when
you start putting it all together, it certainly looks like
this story that we're about to read from CBS has
some legs. So let's dive into the article from CBS
and let's see what they have for US headline. Newly
earthed dea document from Epstein files raises question did Epstein
facilitate drug trafficking? This article was authored by Daniel Rutnik,
Pat Milton, and Kara Tabashnik. Jeffrey Epstein was the subject
of a previously undisclosed US Drug Enforcement Agency investigation, a
five year plus probe targeting him and fourteen other individuals
for suspicious money transfers possibly linked to illegal narcotics. A
newly uncovered document in the Department of Justice Epstein files reveals,
Now you take that with what we know about him
being active in Afghanistan, and it makes me wonder if
he had anything to do with those poppy fields, you know,
the ones that we defended and protected so vigilantly and
so diligently while we were in Afghanistan. Yeah, those poppy fields.
I mean, we know that Prince Andrew was passing sensitive
information about Afghanistan to Jeffrey Epstein. So what was the purpose?
What kind of interest could a man like Jeffrey Epstein
have in a place Afghanistan? Can't be too many, right,
I mean, it's not like Afghanistan has some incredible financial
sector that all these guys have to get in on.
So what would motivate Epstein to want to be in Afghanistan? Unless,
of course he was there moving arms, which is very
possible as well. DEA reporting indicates the above individuals are
involved in illegitimate wire transfers which are tied to illicit
drug and or prostitution activity is occurring in the US
Virgin Islands and New York City. The twenty fifteen document says, well,
I wonder why nothing happened. Could it possibly be that
Jeffrey Epstein's protected? I mean, who would have ever guessed?
Who would have ever jumped to that conclusion? Oh, that's right.
Anybody who's saying anybody who's following along, because let me
tell you, if the DEA has you under investigation for
five years, chances are something wrong and they're gonna tell you.
But of course Jeffrey Epstein, well, no problems for him.
One phone call and it's all good. The sixty nine
page memo is marked law Enforcement Sensitive and remains heavily redacted,
concealing the names of the fourteen other targets and much
of the substantive detail surrounding the investigation. Now, look, I'm
not gonna tell you that Jeffrey Epstein was out here
selling packs down in Battery Park. That's not what they're
talking about. He was financing something, being involved as a
money guy, put money up for this to happen or
that to happen, and then benefiting on the back end.
That's how it works. It's just like any other investment.
Puts up some money, the job gets done, and he
gets paid. Now, obviously that's a simplified way of thinking
about it, but that gives you a basic idea of
how a money man is involved in drug trafficking. Then,
of course we always have to consider that he was
bundling money and he was coloring it up and laundering
it for insert criminal organization here. That's very possible too.
And this is what I mean when I tell you
that Jeffrey Epstein had his fingers in many pies. There's
a lot of stuff that we haven't even begun to
figure out yet. And when you have somebody with this
kind of money, this kind of power, this kind of
vast reach, it's inevitable that they're going to be involved
in a lot of bad things. The document appears to
stem from a request made by the DEA to an
organized crime Drug Enforcement task Force Fusion Center in Virginia
seeking information from other agencies related to Epstein and the
other targets as part of an active case. How quick
do you think is handler popped up and said, YO,
leave this dude alone. Under no circumstances are you to
charge Jeffrey Epstein kind of drug case? And that's how
they do it. And for a guy like Jeffrey Epstein,
knowing he has that kind of protection, it leads to
all kinds of horrible things. The task Force is a
Reagan era creation to combat a surge in cocaine trafficking,
and the Fusion Center was opened in two thousand and
nine as a clearinghouse for intelligence sharing between federal law
enforcement agencies. Every time you turn around, there is another clue,
another hint about Jeffrey Epstein being some sort of asset.
I'm sure that mandelssh and Prince Andrew just passed him
that information for fun, right, had nothing to do with
Jeffrey Epstein collecting that information to benefit from it or
for insert other person to benefit from it. Right. And
then you look at all these investigations that Jeffrey Epstein
was part of, and you look at the fact that
he was never charged in any of these cases, and
you have to ask yourself, what the hell's really going
on here? And how comes somebody like Jeffrey Epstein was
able to operate in plain sight even with this cloud
hanging over them for so long. Do you know how
quick your ass would be swooped up if you were
a part of this ordeal, if you were involved in
some DEA phone trace or whatever, forget it, you would
be getting a colonoscopy like you couldn't believe. For the
DEA to open a case, there would have to be
a drug nexus, a law enforcement source told CBS News,
adding that the request to the Fusion Center, indicated the
matter was part of a significant investigation rather than a
routine information inquiry. So there was probably some kind of serious,
you know, criminal organization that was under the microscope, and
Epstein was probably bundling money for them and got caught up.
That seems to be the likeliest scenario here. The document
includes a DEA case number and lists the case opening
date is December seventeenth, twenty ten, in New York. It
notes that the matter is judicial pending, indicating that the
investing gation remained active at the time the memo was
drafted five years later. One law enforcement source told CBS
News that the designation suggests investigators may have been awaiting
court approval for search warrants or other legal action. Yeah,
that never came because Epstein's handler, whoever that is, or was,
probably stepped in and said, look, no way, this guy's
working on X, Y and Z for the government right now,
and we can't have you guys getting in the way. Sorry,
find somebody else to arrest. We don't care if he
diddled kids, we don't care if he's involved with drug organizations.
The means certainly justifies the ends, and that's the way
they go about their business, even if that means nurturing
and protecting a man like Jeffrey Epstein. Another law enforcement
source said it likely meant an arrest of someone associated
with the case had been made. CBS News cannot confirm
that because the names of other targets were redacted from
the document. Why why are other names redacted? There's no
survivors here, There's nothing here that should be redacted. Is
it national security? I doubt it. So why do you
have the names redacted? Oh, that's right. You don't want
people to be able to trace this and follow the
money because if they do that, you know where it
ends up, and so do the people in Langley. And
that's why you see all this pushback, and that's why
you see this being the issue that it is. A
different case launched in twenty eighteen by the US Attorney's
Office for the Southern District of New York ultimately landed
Epstein in a Lower Manhattan federal jail after he was
arrested in July twenty nineteen on charges of sex trafficking.
Sources involved in that case told CBS News the prosecutors
were not aware of the earlier DEA investigation, of course,
not that information was segregated from the regular system. And
why would that occur, Well, because Jeffrey Epstein was an
asset pretty simple, was awaiting trial in the sex trafficking
case when he died behind bars in August of twenty nineteen.
His death was ruled a suicide. The DEA document also
reveals the existence of other previously unknown investigations with some
link to Epstein. Those include an ICE investigation in West
Palm Beach opened in two thousand and six and closed
in two thousand and eight, an ICE investigation in Las
Vegas opened in two thousand and nine and listed as
pending as of one twenty seven, twenty ten. An ICE
investigation in Paris opened in June of twenty thirteen and
closed months later titled Operation Angel Watch, and an FBI
investigation opened in two thousand and six that still remained
active in twenty fifteen. The ICE stuff has to do
with their immigration bullshit, all those fake immigration scams they
were running. That's what they were being looked at for.
I mean, how obvious is it now? And when I
tell you that Epstein was up to all kinds of
wild shit, this is what I mean, it wasn't just
sex trafficking, and he was getting help. Somebody in those
immigration offices was helping Jeffrey Epstein out. The question is who.
The document also lists prior law enforcement contact and identifies
bank accounts linked to Epstein, including accounts in Switzerland, France,
the Cayman Islands, and New York. It details approximately fifty
million in suspicious wire transfers from twenty ten to twenty fifteen.
Although the names of the individuals linked to those transactions
are redacted, the DOJ appears to have accidentally neglected to
redact the name of a Polish fashion model who was
identified in connection to approximately two million in transfers and
named as a target in the investigation. Yeah, Adriana Ross.
They don't ever hear, but that's who it is. One
of the corps for a baby. All these people out
here are talking about, Oh, these women who helped Epstein,
no shit, where you've been. And furthermore, roughly forty three
percent of human traffickers or female who do you think
ropes in the vast majority of these girls. Emails between
that woman at Epstein were included in the release, indicating
that they had a personal relationship. CBS News is not
identifying the woman at the request of her attorney, who
said she was a survivor of Epstein's Her attorney did
not reply to inquiries about whether she was aware she
was a dea target. Now, look, anyone who's trying to
call the core four victims is crazy. The only one
you could possibly say that about is na Eel marson Kova,
and that's because she was sold allegedly at Epstein when
she was fourteen. But the other girls, the other women,
they came in with eyes open, they knew what was up,
and still to this day, none of them have come forward.
The memo also lists several businesses associated with Epstein that
have come under scrutiny in the past. One of those
companies was redacted. The other two are SLK Designs and Hyperionaire.
Hyperion Air was used by Epstein as a holding company
for his aircraft, and SLK Designs was run by two
women who were included an Epstein so called sweetheart non
prosecution agreement with a federal government and and as potential
co conspirators potential huh okay sure potential. Records show those
companies were formed and controlled by Epstein's attorney, Darren Endyke,
huh or have you heard that name before? Interesting, isn't it.
CBS News has reached out to an attorney foreign Dyke
and has not received a response. In a prior statement,
his attorney, Daniel Wiener, told CBS News the lawyer did
not socialize with mister Epstein and rejected as categorically false
any suggestion that he knowingly facilitated or assisted mister Epstein
in his sexual abuse or trafficking of women, or that
they were aware of mister Epstein's actions while they provided
legal and accounting services to mister Epstein. He added that
no judge or court found Epstein's attorney's committed any wrongdoing
of any kind. Well, that's because there's never been a
real investigation, stupid. There is plenty of evidence that Darren
Indyke is dick deep in all of this, including structuring.
So let's just cut the bullshit, okay, And if there's
ever a real investigation, you can guarantee that you're a client,
mister Indike will be a target. Senator Ron Wyden, a
Democrat from Oregon who's been pursuing the Epstein investigation as
a ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee told CBS
News that following the money is key to learning more
about Epstein's crimes. It appears Epstein was involved in criminal
activity that went way beyond petifield and sex trafficking, which
makes it even more outrageous that pound BONDI is sitting
on several million on release files. Wyden said. Neither the
DEA or the DOJ responded to request by CBS News
for more information or comment. Well, look, I think it's
rather obvious, folks, Epstein most certainly was being protected, and
the more evidence that comes out, the harder it's going
to be to deny that. For the federal government. Now,
they're going to continue to do so, but I don't
think it's going to be effective. And I think the
further this moves, the more information that comes out, the
more people are going to be convinced that not only
was the DOJ and the federal government lying to them
about Epstein, but when caught and called out, they doubled
down and tried to cover it up. Because at some
point even people who are like, oh, this is all
just a coincidence, are going to say to themselves, how
can it all just be a giant coincidence, because I
think at this point it's obvious that there was something
deeper and darker going on, and at the very least
some people in the government were aware of what Jeffrey
Epstein was and they continued to utilize him as an asset.
And that's why they're fighting tooth and nail to keep
all this private. They don't want anybody to know that
they were actually running this dude, that he was an asset,
that they were using them and all the while protecting
them while he was abusing kids, laundering money, and god
knows what else. But unfortunately for them, I think that
the pieces are starting to fall into place, and you're
starting to get a better picture of what went on
here and why they're so hell bent on making sure
that nobody knows the truth. And the more documentation like
this that I see, the more I'm convinced that we're
being lied to and that there's a cover up happening
in real time. So, like usual, we're going to keep
pound them away, and over the next couple of days,
I'm going to add that trap trace document that I
stumbled across, so all of you can get a look
at it as well, and it's very interesting. I mean,
we're talking about all kinds of criminal organizations that are
being talked about in this Trapp trace. So it's going
to be interesting to see how this one plays out,
and like usual, we'll be here every step of the way.
