Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of The
Epstein Chronicles. I know we've been talking a whole lot
about the death of Jeffrey Epstein, but we're going to
continue talking about it until we get some answers. And
that's because I don't believe the narrative that's been pitched
to us by the DOJ and the BOP, and I
think there's an overwhelming amount of circumstantial evidence that should
lead any serious investigator to know that something really wrong
happened that night and it wasn't just a coincidence. Now, look,
I'm not going to sit here and tell you I
know exactly what went down or who was involved, but
I don't believe the narrative that they're telling us. I'm sorry,
but I don't. Way too many things would have to
line up and go wrong for their narrative to be true.
And I think that from the Michael Thomas interview and
the Tovin Owell interview, it's rather obvious that they're both
lying about what went down that night. So the question
is what are they lying about and who are they protecting.
Today's article is from the New York Post, and the
headline new video shows guards milling about with Epstein only
a few feet away in his cell instead of conducting
mandatory rounds. I thought they were sleeping. I thought Thomas
was sleeping the whole entire time. Isn't that what we've
been told by Tovin Nowell turns out that's a lie.
This article was authored by Gabrielle Fami and Shane Galvin.
A newly reviewed surveillance video from the night of Jeffrey
Epstein's death shows the prison guards casually milling about only
a few feet from the cell where he killed himself. Well,
full stop, where he killed himself. Well, I'm glad you
have all that information and all the evidence that leads
you to believe that he, you know, killed himself, because
I haven't seen that evidence yet, and at this point,
I think there is enough evidence to refute the narrative
and do it strongly. Correctional officers Touvin Oel and Michael
Thomas are seen lounging in front of the officer station
in the Special Housing unit of Manhattan's mcc center at
around three fifteen am, both writing on a piece of paper,
walking back and forth, and talking on the phone instead
of conducting the mandatory three am rounds according to a
video unearthed in the trove of DOJ documents recently released,
and that obviously blows their narrative right out of the water.
You know, the whole narrative. They were sleeping, They had
no idea, well, I didn't know what Michael Thomas was
up to, and Thomas I had no idea what Tovin
Oel was doing. Meanwhile, they were walking around having the
time of their lives. Can somebody please explain to me
how these folks didn't end up in prison. Imagine being
that bad at your job that had ended up in
somebody dying and losing their life, and you just get
to walk scott free. Because that's what happened. I mean,
they falsified records. How are you going to falsify those records,
pretend that you are sleeping the whole time, and then
not end up in jail. It is unacceptable. Epstein was
just a few feet away the first cell on the block,
just down a short set of stairs behind the officer
station on the ninth floor l Tier Wing. According to
schematics of the prison, the sex predator is believed to
have killed himself sometime between ten thirty pm August ninth,
the last time Noel, who was working a double shift,
checked on inmates, and six thirty am August tenth, when
Noel and Thomas discovered his lifeless body while serving breakfast
to the inmates. According to the Department of Justice, so
Tovin Noel was the last person to see Epstein alive.
How does that usually work out for people in the
real world. Oh, you know, right away, you're a suspect.
And then we look at the financial transactions. Oh yeah,
nothing to see here. It's all just a big coincidence. Again.
And look, I'm not going to sit here and tell
you that Touvin, Oel and Michael Thomas were definitely in
on it. But none of it adds up, and the
circumstantial evidence leads me to believe that there needs to
be a much more robust investigation into not only what
went on inside of that GEL cell, but into all
the people that we're working the night of. And I
don't mean that OIG interview that we're looking at. I'm
talking about a brand new investigation with a fresh set
of eyes that is initiated. That's what we need. Bring
people in subpoena power, the whole thing. But unfortunately, the
only way we can get there is with a special prosecutor.
And it doesn't seem like anybody is even talking about that,
But if we're serious here, that's the way to go.
We can't trust the DOJ to investigate themselves. We know that,
So what are we left with. We're left with a
special prosecutor. But for that to happen, Congress would have
to have the willpower to make that move. And do
you really think they're going to do that? Do you
really think the DOJ is going to seed power when
it comes to Epstein? No chance, not now, not ever.
So we're in this loop. We keep on covering all
of this information, but the DOJ refuses to act. And
for the DOJ, that doubles their problem because now not
only did they cover this up back then, they're also
covering it up right now in real time, and people
can see it and people are paying attention, and now
people want answers, but unfortunately the DOJ is short when
it comes to those. Instead, they want to talk shit.
They want to try and turn the narrative around and
attack people. Imagine having the Attorney General show up with
a hit list, and instead of answering questions about what's
going on with Epstein, she starts talking about crime and
so and so's district or the dow. Now flip the script.
Imagine if Merrick Garland did that, Oh, forget it. It
would have been a shit show. And please make no mistake,
I'm no fan of Merrick Garland, another do nothing clown.
But the point is there's no consistency, right, none at all. Oh,
you want this one to be held accountable, but not
that one because they're in the same political party as
me and they like the president. What does that even mean?
And how can you call yourself a patriot if you
have more loyalty to a man than you do to
your country. I've never understood that way of thinking. I'm
not loyal to any man or any political party. I'm
loyal to this country and what's best for this country
in my opinion. And if that doesn't jive with the
ruling party's message, I don't care. The guards apparently ignored
the bright orange warnings and reminders that the officer in
charge of the Special Housing Unit had plastered on their computers.
By accident or on purpose. I'll leave it up to
you to decide. But I have a hard time believing
that neither of these guards knew the basic duties of
their job, and according to the depositions, they had no
idea what they were doing there. They might as well
have been at McDonald's Flippenburger's. The notes reminded everyone that
Epstein was fresh off suicide watch, needed a bunk mate
at all times and regular check ins. The DOJ Documents
Review mandatory rounds must be conducted every thirty minutes on Epstein,
as per god read one order. Shoe Boss Lieutenant Robert
Gravlla later told DOJ investigators, I put it next to
the computer. It was just something between us that said
make sure the rounds were conducted, and he has a
bunkie at all times. It's orange paper and black lettering.
How did that work out? Oh, they were too busy
shopping on the internet. Huh. Grovala said that he left
instructions right next to the screen hanging on the PC
sometime before he went home for the weekend. At two
pm on August ninth. Whoever was there, they watched, they
saw the paper. Monday, I came in and the paper
wasn't there anymore, he said, so look for me, Thomas
and Noel. They're the ones holding the bag, and if
I was in charge, I would be investigating them like
you wouldn't believe. I'd be giving them the Mafia treatment.
Every transaction ever made, every person you've ever talked to,
every place you've ever been, all of it, because as
far as I'm concerned, their stories make zero sense, and
in fact, I think they're lying. Gravala said that around
eight am on August ninth, he brought Epstein and his cellmate,
convicted drug dealer Ephrin Reys downstairs. Epstein was meeting with
his lawyers all day, and Reyes had his belongings with
him and was likely heading home. When I walked them
towards the door, I said, you're going to get a bunk, recalled,
telling him. Epstein is like, no, I'm good. He seemed calm.
Gravala added of Epstein, he joked around because he asked
for a new jumper and I told him no, and
he asked why not. I was like, it's a jail,
and you have what you get. Nobody else gets a jumper.
It's not versace, you know. He's ha ha, he laughed,
and that's it. Gravalas said that before leaving for the weekend,
he told staff multiple times Epstein would need a new
cell mate when he returned from the meeting with his
lawyers that evening, and they ignored him. Remember in the interview,
they said they had no idea that Epstein needed a
cell mate. Nobody told them that. No lieutenants told them that. Well,
that's a lie. He also told inspectors the reason that
Epstein had multiple orange sheets in his cell, the cloths
he used to hang himself is because officers failed to
remove ray Is sheets when he was discharged, and they
likely gave Epstein a couple extra after he complained he
was cold at night. They fucked up. Gravalda said, sorry,
that that's a big no go. Gravlla is still employed
at the Manhattan Correctional Center and has been promoted to
deputy captain according to the Bureau of Prisons. Well not
at MCC. MCC is closed, so I have no idea
where mister Gravlla is working. The House Oversight Committee chair
called Noel in for an interview on March twenty sixth
after The Post reported that she googled Epstein shortly before
he took his life and banked mysterious cash deposits. What
they mean by that is they piggybacked on our conversation
about what went on that night, and that led them
to start looking into Touvin Nowell and Michael Thomas and
what happened that night. And that's a good thing. More
people should be doing that. The more eyes on this,
the better because I'm going to miss things right, I'm
not going to get everything. So the more people that
are looking at it, the better off we're going to be.
Noel and Thomas were accused of falsifying records that said
they checked on Epstein throughout the night, even though investigator
has later learned they failed to do the three am
and five am rounds. They were fired, but criminal charges
against both were dropped in twenty twenty one by Obama
appointed US District Court judge and Alisa Torres Well, I'm
not shocked by that. They didn't want this case to
move forward at all. The court knew that, the Department
of Justice knew that, the BOP knew that, and the
best way to mitigate the fallout was to keep everybody quiet.
How do you do that, Well, you make sure they're
hooked up it's no different than Epstein's serving up some
hush money, except this time it's the federal government giving
the two guards that were responsible for Epstein that night
and out. So it's basically just another payoff, and as
far as I'm concerned, it's unacceptable. So let's see what
happens on March twenty sixth. But I think that the
whole entire situation needs to be revisited, and I think
that there needs to be a robust investigation into everybody
who was involved in the decision making that led to
the death of Jeffrey Epstein. Now if we get that
investigation or not, that's a whole different matter entirely, but
we most certainly should and you can guarantee until that happens,
my fat mouth is going to continue to run. All
