1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: Eight. In twenty and sixteen, prosecutors in the Manhattan office

2
00:00:06,599 --> 00:00:10,119
decided that they weren't going to pursue charges against Jeffrey

3
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:15,720
Epstein and Gilaine Maxwell. Why in the hell would they

4
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:21,519
not pursue charges? Can't tell me. There wasn't enough evidence.

5
00:00:21,679 --> 00:00:25,679
We had mountains of it. So what was the motivation

6
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:32,880
for this office for these prosecutors to not chase Jeffrey

7
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:38,039
Epstein and Gilaine Maxwell. Could it have anything to do

8
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,399
with who was in charge of the just US Department

9
00:00:42,439 --> 00:00:45,479
at the time, Miss Loretta Lynch? Was she trying to

10
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:50,439
protect Bill Clinton? Quite possible. We know that they were tight.

11
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,159
We know that Loretta Lynch and Hillary were tight, and

12
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,039
we know that Bill Clinton had big time ties to

13
00:00:57,119 --> 00:01:04,159
Jeffrey Epstein. Were the prosecutors in on this? Was Pretra

14
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,840
rah rah in on this? He was the man down

15
00:01:06,879 --> 00:01:10,040
there at the time. What did he know? When know it?

16
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,840
And why did they not pursue Jeffrey Epstein and Gilain

17
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:20,599
Maxwell in two thousand and sixteen, Well, let's jump into

18
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,400
this Daily News article and see what they think. Headline,

19
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,319
Manhattan Federal prosecutors declined to pursue Jeffrey Epstein and Gilain

20
00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:34,120
Maxwell case in two thousand and sixteen. This article was

21
00:01:34,159 --> 00:01:40,400
authored by Stephen Rex Brown. So again my question is

22
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,120
why did they not pursue them? You know, there's a

23
00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:48,000
lot of people that you know, have questions like this.

24
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,519
Why in the world, with all of the evidence that

25
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,000
they had compiled even up to that point, were these

26
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:01,200
two not pursued. Who was protecting them and why. In

27
00:02:01,319 --> 00:02:06,239
July twenty nineteen, then Manhattan US Attorney US Attorney Jeffrey

28
00:02:06,239 --> 00:02:10,199
Berman proclaimed before a bunch of cameras that the FEDS

29
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,919
were proud to stand up for Jeffrey Epstein's survivors. Yeah, okay,

30
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,759
mister Berman, nothing happened while you were in office. Really, dude,

31
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,800
you didn't do shit. You didn't help the investigation one bit.

32
00:02:22,039 --> 00:02:27,159
You were just another bumbling fool. So please spare us

33
00:02:27,159 --> 00:02:32,120
with your platitudes. My office will not rest until perpetrators

34
00:02:32,159 --> 00:02:36,439
of these types of crimes are brought to justice. Victims' voices,

35
00:02:36,479 --> 00:02:40,080
including the many voices of Epstein's alleged victims, must be heard.

36
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,800
Berman said, Yeah, I mean, your office did a real

37
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,280
good job of that in twenty sixteen. All of your cohorts,

38
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,639
all of your buddies, all of your awesome heart charging

39
00:02:49,759 --> 00:02:54,159
after justice. Friends in the Prosecutor's office, they sure did

40
00:02:54,199 --> 00:02:59,199
a real good job of that. In reality, your office

41
00:02:59,479 --> 00:03:01,879
and just about every other office in the whole entire

42
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:06,560
nation abandoned these girls. So don't act like after the fact.

43
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,039
In two thousand, after he's arrested, after the new expose

44
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,840
by the Miami Herald, after the renewed interest that you

45
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,039
and your office were on the front line of making

46
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:23,479
this happen. Such bullocks. It wasn't always that way. On

47
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,919
February twenty ninth, twenty and sixteen, the office's top human

48
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:33,639
trafficking prosecutor, Amanda Kramer, met with defense attorneys representing survivors

49
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:38,360
of Epstein and his alleged madam co conspirator, fellow child abuser,

50
00:03:38,599 --> 00:03:42,960
general all around scumbag and bipedal serpent Geelean Maxwell, sources

51
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,919
tell The Daily News. So in twenty sixteen, Amanda Kramer,

52
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:53,479
who's who was the head hauncho of trafficking the trafficking

53
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,159
office of prosecuting people who engage in that behavior, met

54
00:03:57,199 --> 00:04:02,719
with the attorneys for the survivor and nothing came of it. Obviously,

55
00:04:03,319 --> 00:04:08,879
another person who acts like they care but really doesn't

56
00:04:09,319 --> 00:04:14,080
another person who's in a position of power who decides

57
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,639
not to act. Are these people ever going to be

58
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,319
held responsible? At the very least, they should be barred

59
00:04:21,319 --> 00:04:24,839
from public office. At the very least, we should not

60
00:04:24,879 --> 00:04:28,439
be paying taxpayer dollars to these people, don't you think.

61
00:04:31,439 --> 00:04:35,079
The attorneys urged Kramer to open an investigation of the duo,

62
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,600
but Kramer had many questions, including how Epstein's controversial non

63
00:04:39,639 --> 00:04:43,079
prosecution agreement with the Southern District of Florida in two

64
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,839
thousand and seven would impact a new investigation. The sources said,

65
00:04:46,959 --> 00:04:49,279
you see what it's about here, right right from the beginning.

66
00:04:49,319 --> 00:04:51,600
You see what the sdn WY is about. It's not

67
00:04:51,639 --> 00:04:54,560
about the investigation. Kramer didn't want to do the legwork.

68
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,560
She didn't want to put in the time, She didn't

69
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,519
want to put in the resources and really go after this.

70
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,800
What else were they busy doing in twenty sixteen in

71
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,439
that office. Oh yeah, busy doing political hit jobs. I forgot.

72
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,240
They were way too busy to actually do their jobs.

73
00:05:09,319 --> 00:05:14,600
They were too busy engaged in political infighting. The FBI,

74
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,399
the US Attorney's Office, the just US Department all needed

75
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:28,639
to be completely torn down and rebuilt. Correctly. The attorney

76
00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:32,839
attempted to peak a Manhattan federal prosecutor's interests in a

77
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,839
second meeting in the summer of twenty sixteen, after Maxwell

78
00:05:36,879 --> 00:05:41,879
allegedly committed perjury. Two sources said, Nah, wait, perjury. We

79
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,360
don't have time for that here. We don't have time

80
00:05:44,439 --> 00:05:48,279
to pursue someone like Gilaane Maxwell on simple perjury. We

81
00:05:48,399 --> 00:05:54,120
are engaged in other things. We are busy doing other things. Really,

82
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,480
the head of human trafficking, and you think the case

83
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,839
is too rough to pursue. You don't know if you

84
00:06:00,959 --> 00:06:03,839
have the right or resources to pursue it. What does

85
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,560
that even mean. You work at the SDNY, plenty of

86
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,480
resources for you, especially to go after somebody like Jeffrey Epstein.

87
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,040
What these resources just automatically, somehow appeared in the office

88
00:06:17,079 --> 00:06:19,519
now that after Maxwell has been arrested and the case

89
00:06:19,519 --> 00:06:23,040
has been growing, So those resources just showed up. No,

90
00:06:23,399 --> 00:06:29,480
those resources were available throughout the whole entire time that

91
00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:32,360
Kramer was in office, that Preed was in office, that

92
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,959
Loretta Lynch was in office. But you know what the

93
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:41,279
truth is, folks, they did not care, point blank period.

94
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,399
The sources set. A second meeting occurred, but Another source

95
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,879
familiar with the outreach to the government insisted it never happened.

96
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,560
Epstein was paying Maxwell's legal bills at the time, and

97
00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:57,360
the survivor's attorneys believed the pair were in a perjury conspiracy.

98
00:06:57,399 --> 00:07:01,480
Sources said, well, how about some egg on the face

99
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,000
for mister Preet's office, how about some egg on the

100
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:11,399
face for Amanda Kramer? Because guess what they were right,

101
00:07:12,439 --> 00:07:17,000
there was perjury going on. Epstein and Maxwell were still conversating,

102
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,879
We're still in contact, we're still working together behind the scenes,

103
00:07:21,519 --> 00:07:25,839
and Amanda Kramer and Prete and Loretta Lynch did not

104
00:07:26,079 --> 00:07:30,079
care enough to pursue it. You want reality, folks, there

105
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,279
it is right for you, right in your face. That's

106
00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:37,360
the reality of the situation. No bullshitting around, no nonsense.

107
00:07:37,639 --> 00:07:47,240
They did not care. Both efforts went nowhere. We were

108
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,920
saying to anyone who would listen, we've got clients who

109
00:07:49,959 --> 00:07:53,439
are abused, some of them under age. We have the evidence,

110
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,600
there's a whole record that's been developed. We can establish

111
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,160
beyond any reasonable doubt that there was a mass of

112
00:08:00,279 --> 00:08:04,120
sex trafficking ring going on, said David Boyse, an attorney

113
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,279
for Epstein's survivors, and They didn't care. They didn't even

114
00:08:07,319 --> 00:08:10,279
bother to look at the evidence. What did Amanda Kramer care?

115
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,680
She's way too busy going after her political opponents. We

116
00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:16,160
know that that's how Prete was Roland, and we certainly

117
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:23,040
know Loretta Lynch isn't above it. So you see the nonsense.

118
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:29,560
You see how this case was ignored for decades, and

119
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,360
then you wonder why people are mad. You wonder why

120
00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:38,679
people are pissed off and demanding justice. This cannot be

121
00:08:38,759 --> 00:08:42,240
allowed to play out in America. This sort of thing

122
00:08:42,519 --> 00:08:46,679
cannot be allowed to happen. If you're engaged in a

123
00:08:46,799 --> 00:08:52,600
human sex trafficking operation, it is time for you to

124
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:58,919
be punished. Modern day slavery folks, That's exactly what it is.

125
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,600
And right now, at this point in time, there are

126
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,840
more people in bondage than at at any other point

127
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,399
in time in history, and human trafficking plays a huge,

128
00:09:08,519 --> 00:09:13,639
gigantic part in that. And Preete and Amanda and Loretta

129
00:09:13,799 --> 00:09:20,919
Lynch way too busy to engage. Huh. The Manhattan US

130
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,960
attorney at the time, Prete Barahra, was not aware of

131
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,840
the meetings. The News confirmed. It's unclear how far up

132
00:09:28,879 --> 00:09:32,200
the Southern district's chain of command. The proposal went, Oh please,

133
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,559
I don't buy that for a minute. I don't buy

134
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,960
that for a minute. It's plausible deniability. Huh. His underlings

135
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,879
are making these decisions. Huh. No one's passing that over

136
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:48,080
his desk. Huh. Now, if we're going to destroy Acosta,

137
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,240
and we should have, and we did, then Prete and

138
00:09:51,399 --> 00:09:58,200
his office must also get the same exact treatment. They

139
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,799
played a huge role in this in two thousand, in sixteen,

140
00:10:01,159 --> 00:10:05,799
and furthermore, what did Preet ever do to go after

141
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,480
Jeffrey Epstein or Giley and Maxwell? What did his office

142
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,440
ever do? Not a thing, not one thing ever, And

143
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,080
this happened right under their nose. How many blocks away

144
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:23,039
from their office was Jeffrey Epstein abusing these girls. We

145
00:10:23,159 --> 00:10:26,120
never contacted Prete directly. We thought he would have been

146
00:10:26,159 --> 00:10:29,039
briefed on a matter of this importance, and we hoped

147
00:10:29,039 --> 00:10:31,559
to make progress with the staff and didn't want it

148
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,919
to be seen as going over their head. But in retrospect,

149
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,799
we probably should have gone to him directly. Boys said, again,

150
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,399
I don't buy that. Prete didn't have any idea about

151
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,960
what was going on. He ran that office like a dictator,

152
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,480
iron gloved dictator. You mean to tell me he never

153
00:10:48,519 --> 00:10:51,240
saw anything for this, And if that's the case, then

154
00:10:51,279 --> 00:10:53,840
he wasn't as good at his job as people said.

155
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,159
Then he wasn't as good of an administrator as he

156
00:10:56,159 --> 00:10:58,759
made himself out to be. How don't you know what

157
00:10:58,799 --> 00:11:01,679
your underlings are working on? How don't you know about

158
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,519
big cases such as this? It's just like the people

159
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,279
who say I didn't know who Jeffrey Epstein was. Really

160
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,399
I was just hanging out and we were having some coffee. Yeah, okay,

161
00:11:11,519 --> 00:11:15,720
sure you didn't. That might work for an average human being,

162
00:11:15,799 --> 00:11:19,360
some normal person, you know, just worried about their life

163
00:11:19,399 --> 00:11:23,360
every day. But when someone like pre Barahahara rah rah

164
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,240
acts like they had no idea what was going on

165
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,559
in their office, I tell you here and now, that

166
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,919
is some straight up bullshit. I don't believe it for

167
00:11:34,159 --> 00:11:41,279
one single second. The Virgin Islands Attorney General accused Epstein

168
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,120
of bringing underage girls to his private island of perversions

169
00:11:45,399 --> 00:11:50,200
as recently as twenty eighteen. So how many girls could

170
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,000
have been saved if preet and his office would have

171
00:11:53,039 --> 00:11:56,120
done the right thing. How many girls would not have

172
00:11:56,159 --> 00:11:59,799
been abused if Preete and his office would have been

173
00:11:59,799 --> 00:12:06,120
focusing on actual crimes. But no, too busy planned politics,

174
00:12:06,519 --> 00:12:10,279
too busy trying to run hatchet jobs. And this is

175
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,480
the result. This is the result when you have the

176
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:20,360
FBI playing grab ass. A person closely familiar with the

177
00:12:20,399 --> 00:12:24,480
Southern District emphasized that understanding of the Epstein saga was

178
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:29,320
radically different before The Miami Herald published it's bombshell investigation

179
00:12:29,799 --> 00:12:34,000
in late twenty eighteen. Yeah right, that's such bullshit. I

180
00:12:34,039 --> 00:12:35,840
don't know about you, folks, but I'm not letting them

181
00:12:35,879 --> 00:12:40,399
get off the hook with that one. Everybody knew, Okay,

182
00:12:40,879 --> 00:12:45,080
everybody knew. Anybody with Google knew what Jeffrey Epstein was about.

183
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,639
Anybody who listened to the testimony of those girls knew

184
00:12:48,639 --> 00:12:52,519
what Jeffrey Epstein was about. And anybody saying any different,

185
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:57,360
any prosecutor, especially working in this office, who says any

186
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:07,639
different is a straight up bullshitting liar, okay, liar. The

187
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,480
story raised major questions about why then Southern District of

188
00:13:11,519 --> 00:13:15,440
Florida US Attorney Alex Acosta let the purv off so easy.

189
00:13:16,039 --> 00:13:19,120
Reopening the case brought by another US attorney is rare.

190
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,840
The person said, yeah, well, your job is to take

191
00:13:22,879 --> 00:13:25,759
those steps. Your job is to break the mold. Your

192
00:13:25,919 --> 00:13:30,080
job as the hancho at SDNY is to take the

193
00:13:30,159 --> 00:13:32,440
lead for the rest of the country and show them

194
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,879
how it's done. But you didn't have the stones, you

195
00:13:35,919 --> 00:13:40,320
didn't have the fruits, and you didn't care about these survivors.

196
00:13:40,399 --> 00:13:43,080
That's all it breaks down to. That's what it comes

197
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:48,240
down to, and that's the bottom line. You just presume

198
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,639
that major, significant, well respected US attorney's offices don't f

199
00:13:52,759 --> 00:13:56,039
this up. The person said, Look, the way that they're

200
00:13:56,039 --> 00:13:59,200
trying to pin all of the blame on the Florida's

201
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,720
office is a whole area is here. Sure, they definitely

202
00:14:03,039 --> 00:14:08,240
are to blame for the non prosecution agreement, how everything

203
00:14:08,279 --> 00:14:11,360
went the first time around. But let's be real, what

204
00:14:11,519 --> 00:14:15,600
have you done, pret What did you do to help

205
00:14:15,639 --> 00:14:19,519
these girls? Not a thing, never left a finger, never

206
00:14:19,559 --> 00:14:22,639
sanctioned Epstein, never went after the money laundering. You knew

207
00:14:22,639 --> 00:14:26,000
about the stars, you knew about the financial crimes, and

208
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:30,080
you didn't do shit. So please get off of your

209
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:35,919
ivory tower when you're speaking to me. It obviously seems

210
00:14:36,039 --> 00:14:39,399
very tragic in hindsight, but if people reopened our case,

211
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,720
we'd lose our minds. I don't care. You see the

212
00:14:42,759 --> 00:14:45,559
problem here, folks, If people reopened our case, we'd lose

213
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:50,240
our minds. Stuff your ego. Stuff it deep, because your

214
00:14:50,279 --> 00:14:54,720
ego should play no part in how we pursue criminal cases.

215
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,600
If you fed up, if you didn't do the right thing,

216
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,200
and someone else reopens your case, well, do a better

217
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,279
job as a prosecutor. Then how about that too difficult

218
00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:08,279
to ask? Well, if that's the case, then kick rocks

219
00:15:08,399 --> 00:15:11,919
will bring somebody in like Alison Moe, who actually cares.

220
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,879
The sources who described attorney's disappointment in twenty sixteen were

221
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,399
quick to credit the prosecutors and FBI agents who brought

222
00:15:22,399 --> 00:15:26,600
the Epstein and Maxwell cases that began under Berman, but

223
00:15:26,679 --> 00:15:30,320
the attorney's earlier efforts to persuade the FEDS to investigate Epstein,

224
00:15:30,679 --> 00:15:33,879
led by Boys, one of the country's most powerful lawyers,

225
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:39,159
will likely be scrutinized in Maxwell's criminal case. Yeah, you think,

226
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,919
of course it's going to be scrutinized. They fed up,

227
00:15:43,039 --> 00:15:45,679
they didn't do the right thing. The SDNY did not

228
00:15:45,759 --> 00:15:47,919
have their eye on the ball. There were way too

229
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:53,399
busy playing politics. They were way too busy engaging when

230
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,759
they should have been chasing down and destroying Jeffrey Epstein's

231
00:15:57,799 --> 00:16:01,080
network have argued she was the victim of perjury trap

232
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,639
set by survivors attorneys and that the FEDS improperly obtained

233
00:16:05,679 --> 00:16:11,039
her depositions, which remain under seal. Well, here's an idea.

234
00:16:11,279 --> 00:16:13,799
If you're not lying about something, then you will not

235
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,399
be walked into a perjury trap. Okay, And again, folks,

236
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,519
remember when we're looking at this, look at what her

237
00:16:21,639 --> 00:16:25,960
defense is talking about. They're talking about technicalities again, They're

238
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,559
talking about loopholes because when it comes down to the evidence,

239
00:16:29,879 --> 00:16:32,120
they know it's not on their side and they have

240
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:37,399
no chance of defending their client on the merits of

241
00:16:37,399 --> 00:16:43,159
her innocence alone. Prosecutors accuse Maxwell of lying in those

242
00:16:43,159 --> 00:16:47,480
depositions about her knowledge of Epstein's sick lifestyle, including his

243
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:52,240
collection of sex toys and obsession with underage girls. Her

244
00:16:52,279 --> 00:16:54,679
legal team will argue to the Second Circuit Court of

245
00:16:54,679 --> 00:17:01,120
Appeals Tuesday that the deposition should remain under seal so

246
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,240
that depositions happens today. We'll see what happens there and

247
00:17:04,279 --> 00:17:08,720
we will definitely report on that. The deposition transcripts obtained

248
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,839
by the government, and the indictment's perjury counts place in

249
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:17,160
a new light plaintiff's earlier litigation conduct, suggesting the planned

250
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:21,480
use of miss Maxwell's deposition as a perjury trap. Maxwell's

251
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,799
attorney Tygee wrote in July again, technicalities. It's not that

252
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,079
my client is innocent. It's not that my client didn't

253
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,359
do this. It's that we're going to use these technicalities

254
00:17:32,599 --> 00:17:37,400
so that you can't pursue justice. But attorneys for Epstein's

255
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,680
survivors were not in cahoots with the Feds in twenty sixteen,

256
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,279
despite their best efforts, bingo, there you go, that's the tell.

257
00:17:45,559 --> 00:17:50,359
Twenty sixteen, the FBI and the authorities were way too

258
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:55,720
busy fing around to even bother with this case. Attorney

259
00:17:55,799 --> 00:17:59,799
Stan Pottinger, Bradley Edwards, and Peter Skinner attended a February

260
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,119
down with Kramer in a conference room at the Southern

261
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:08,400
District's headquarters at one Street Andrews Plaza. Skinner, an attorney

262
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,640
at the firm boy Schiller. Flexner, attended in part because

263
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,640
he is a former assistant US attorney at the Southern

264
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:19,039
District who knew Kramer. Sources said, so, remember at all

265
00:18:19,079 --> 00:18:23,759
of these legal offices, Schiller and Boys, Boys and Schiller,

266
00:18:23,759 --> 00:18:26,759
however you want to pronounce it, whatever, all these powerful offices,

267
00:18:26,799 --> 00:18:29,640
they all have ex prosecutors that work with them, because

268
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,880
these prosecutors have a relationship with the current prosecutors. End well,

269
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,200
I guess it doesn't hurt to have a friendly face

270
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:40,720
Ham when you're trying to work out a deal. The

271
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,960
team represented Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts in a defamation lawsuit

272
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:49,519
against Maxwell, an alleged madam, co conspirator, fellow child abuser,

273
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:54,319
general all around scuzbag, and Bipedal Serpent for Epstein. The

274
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:59,400
lawsuit focused on whether the British socialite Bipedal Serpent smeared

275
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,640
roberts name by saying she lied about Epstein's sex trafficking scheme,

276
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,240
but it also provided a means to obtain evidence and

277
00:19:07,319 --> 00:19:11,400
force people in Epstein's orbit to testify under oath. It

278
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,640
sure did, and it was a brilliant move on the

279
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:18,039
part of the lawyers. These lawyers know their business, and

280
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,759
the lawyers for the survivors, for the most part, are

281
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,839
really charging hardier and they're really working to make sure

282
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,519
that things swing in the right direction. The legal team

283
00:19:28,559 --> 00:19:32,799
presented Kramer, the Southern District's coordinator for Justice Department initiatives

284
00:19:32,799 --> 00:19:36,880
combating human trafficking and child exploitation, with what they'd learned

285
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:42,640
about Epstein's scheme. The multimillionaire financier pedophile had abused dozens

286
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,680
of underage girls in Palm Beach and elsewhere during sexualized massages.

287
00:19:46,759 --> 00:19:51,680
They said. With Maxwell's assistance, Epstein had allegedly created a

288
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,920
trafficking pyramid scheme in which girls were rewarded for recruiting

289
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:01,160
new underage victims. Kramer was concerned about the non prosecution agreement,

290
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,599
According to sources, Notice it's about the technicality. It's not

291
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,519
about you know what. I don't care about that. This

292
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,079
is an important case. I'll find a way around it.

293
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,839
I'm going to prosecute these people. No, Kramer, Eh, you know,

294
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,920
we got this non prosecution agreement. I don't think we

295
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:23,400
can go after them in technicalities. That kind of shit

296
00:20:23,599 --> 00:20:27,400
makes me crazy. If you're a prosecutor and wrongdoing has

297
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,759
been done investigated, if your investigation turns up that the

298
00:20:32,599 --> 00:20:37,119
person in question is guilty, arrest them. That's how the

299
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:42,519
system works. This has already been looked at, as source

300
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,480
recalled Kramer saying, so, what you're really asking us to

301
00:20:45,559 --> 00:20:49,440
do is redo what the US attorney in Florida did. Yeah,

302
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,519
that's exactly what you were being asked to do, Miss Kramer.

303
00:20:52,839 --> 00:20:55,200
You don't even bring this to your boss. Something this

304
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,960
important didn't go to preed Huh. And I'm sure Loretta

305
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,599
Lynch had no idea about covering for people. Talk about

306
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:07,480
making sure your friends are covered for. What an absolute

307
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:12,839
dumpster fire Loretta Lynch was, What an absolute dumpster fire,

308
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,440
mister Preete was. So any time you hear one of

309
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,079
the people from the previous administration get up there with

310
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,759
their ivory towers and their platitudes and there were down

311
00:21:23,839 --> 00:21:28,359
with me too's well, just remember in twenty sixteen, they

312
00:21:28,759 --> 00:21:36,039
didn't do shit either. A Costa negotiated the agreement with

313
00:21:36,079 --> 00:21:39,559
Epstein's powerhouse legal team that allowed the sex offender to

314
00:21:39,559 --> 00:21:44,319
dodge serious federal charges and plead guilty to state prostitution charges.

315
00:21:44,759 --> 00:21:48,200
And again, do you really think, just like with Lynch

316
00:21:48,279 --> 00:21:53,519
and pret here an Amanda Kramer, that this didn't go

317
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,640
up to the line, didn't go up to the Bush administration,

318
00:21:56,759 --> 00:21:59,440
didn't go up to mccasey and his deputies of course

319
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,359
it did. These attorney generals in these states, they don't

320
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,960
make these decisions on their own. They have bosses that

321
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,720
they have to answer to as well, folks, And the

322
00:22:09,759 --> 00:22:17,039
bureaucracy is large. The deal is a critical chapter in

323
00:22:17,079 --> 00:22:20,279
the Epstein saga, which the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals

324
00:22:20,279 --> 00:22:24,440
described as a tale of national disgrace. And now remember

325
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,279
the Eleventh Circuit is looking at this to see what's what,

326
00:22:28,559 --> 00:22:33,079
and we might get that non prosecution agreement overturned. And

327
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,119
if that's the case and that gets overturned, oh, it

328
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,880
will be a field day, folks, an absolute field day

329
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:45,839
on bringing these scumbags to heal. A second source were

330
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,000
called Kramer looking for a New York angle to the

331
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,200
Epstein scheme which would allow him to be charged in Manhattan.

332
00:22:51,559 --> 00:22:55,119
But evidence that girls had endured the multimillionaire's massages at

333
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,799
the Upper east Side mansion was thin at the time.

334
00:22:57,839 --> 00:23:01,160
The sources said, oh, thin at the time. Thin at

335
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,240
the time. That's what they want you to believe. It

336
00:23:03,279 --> 00:23:06,559
was thin at the time. That's an outright lie. And

337
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:11,200
Amanda Kramer should be held responsible for not pursuing this.

338
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,880
She should at the very least have to answer some

339
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:20,039
hard questions, because this is absolute bullshit. Do you have

340
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,039
cases of Epstein's abuse here in New York? A second

341
00:23:23,039 --> 00:23:26,519
source familiar with the meeting recalled Kramer asking The answer

342
00:23:26,559 --> 00:23:29,839
was not necessarily, or at least not yet. We asked,

343
00:23:29,839 --> 00:23:32,240
why can't you open an investigation and look for them.

344
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,200
We'll look for them, and you look for them. So Kramer,

345
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,759
who did not seem unsympathetic or skeptical, also asked about

346
00:23:39,759 --> 00:23:42,599
the statue of limitations for some of Epstein's crimes. The

347
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:47,160
sources said, so, I don't the author here and the

348
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,559
sources try and make it cover for Kramer. Let's just

349
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,039
be honest, all right, Let's just be honest about what

350
00:23:54,079 --> 00:23:57,000
occurred here. They were negligent in their duties in the SDN.

351
00:23:57,039 --> 00:24:00,200
Why pret was the boss? All buck stops with him?

352
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,920
And further, Loretta Lynch should behold to account as well.

353
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,759
The team left the meeting feeling optimistic. The AUSA acted

354
00:24:09,799 --> 00:24:12,279
confident that a case would be brought against Epstein for

355
00:24:12,319 --> 00:24:16,519
crimes committed against Virginia and others in New York. Of course,

356
00:24:16,599 --> 00:24:19,519
first she had to have the facts, witnesses, evidence, and

357
00:24:19,599 --> 00:24:22,839
victims of a New York crime. We assured the prosecutor

358
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,680
that the number of victims in New York far exceeded

359
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,279
those discovered in Florida. The group walked out, excited that

360
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,559
New York was finally going to bring a case against Epstein.

361
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,240
You would think that when you bring all of that

362
00:24:37,319 --> 00:24:42,039
to an attorney US Attorney's office, and you present all

363
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,039
of the facts, and you let them know that there's

364
00:24:44,079 --> 00:24:46,759
more victims in New York than there were even in Florida,

365
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,359
that the Attorney General would at the very least kick

366
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,160
a few tires, ask a few questions, initiate a low

367
00:24:54,240 --> 00:25:01,599
key investigation. None of that occurred. I said to David

368
00:25:01,599 --> 00:25:05,039
and Pete, don't hold your breath. The Southern District obviously

369
00:25:05,079 --> 00:25:07,880
doesn't know who they're dealing with yet, Edwards wrote in

370
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,480
his book Relentless Pursuit, My Fight for the Victims of

371
00:25:10,519 --> 00:25:14,960
Jeffrey Epstein. Edwards was right not to celebrate. The attorneys

372
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,319
did not hear back from prosecutors, according to sources, not

373
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,119
even a callback, not even a courtesy call. Hey, look,

374
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,400
my boss told me that this is something that doesn't

375
00:25:23,799 --> 00:25:26,440
ring with us right now. I can't pursue this. I'm sorry.

376
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,480
None of that that I would just won't call them.

377
00:25:28,519 --> 00:25:31,160
We'll ghost them, We'll blow smoke up their ass, We'll

378
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,039
get the survivors fired up that they're gonna get justice,

379
00:25:34,079 --> 00:25:39,200
and then we'll just ignore it. That is the SDNY

380
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:47,200
under pret That is the SDNY under Loretta Lynch. The

381
00:25:47,279 --> 00:25:49,319
team thought they had found a new way to entice

382
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,960
the FEDS after Maxwell's depositions by attorney Sigared McCauley and

383
00:25:54,079 --> 00:25:58,279
Boys in April and July twenty and sixteen, Boys and

384
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,519
Pottinger reapproached Kramer and asked if the Southern District will

385
00:26:01,559 --> 00:26:06,000
consider charging Maxwell with perjury. Sources said she mentioned the

386
00:26:06,079 --> 00:26:10,480
comedy typical pit between US attorneys around the country. A

387
00:26:10,599 --> 00:26:14,680
source said the lawyers for Epstein's survivors did not hear

388
00:26:14,759 --> 00:26:18,680
back from the Southern District regarding the perjury proposal. They

389
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,680
believe that a Justice Department tradition of not second guessing

390
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,839
another US attorney's work took precedence over the Southern District

391
00:26:25,839 --> 00:26:30,559
of New York's cherished reputation for fearlessness and independence. Now

392
00:26:30,559 --> 00:26:33,200
they're fearless and independent when they're chasing down like a

393
00:26:33,279 --> 00:26:35,920
stormy Daniels. Right if they think they're gonna get some

394
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,920
headlines out of it. Hell yeah, they're charging hard. We're

395
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,400
the SDN, Why we're here to kick your ass. Meanwhile,

396
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,039
they had this hal laid out to them on a platter,

397
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:50,960
and they don't move until a journalist kicks the tires

398
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,000
and gets this shit going. That should give us confidence

399
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,160
in the SDNY. That should give us confidence in mister

400
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:02,279
Prett and Amanda Kramer certainly doesn't for me. All it

401
00:27:02,279 --> 00:27:05,640
does is open up a whole new line of questions,

402
00:27:06,039 --> 00:27:12,119
a whole new battle, because these people, just like the

403
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,200
scum in Florida, should be held responsible for their inaction.

404
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,839
David was particularly frustrated by the failure to pursue a

405
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,640
perjury charge. A source familiar with the meetings said the

406
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,640
sources were called boys, telling colleagues we have her dead

407
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:33,000
to rights. Kramer declined to comment. A spokesman for the

408
00:27:33,039 --> 00:27:37,039
Southern District of New York declined to comment. That's nice, huh.

409
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,759
Isn't that real nice that they won't even comment. They

410
00:27:40,839 --> 00:27:43,200
work for you, remember, they work for me and you,

411
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,920
and they won't even comment about their stupid ass decision making.

412
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,799
It tells you all you need to know. We're certainly

413
00:27:49,839 --> 00:27:53,079
not in charge, the just US Department out of control,

414
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,279
the CIA out of control, the FBI out of control,

415
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,000
and the two tier justice system in the United States

416
00:28:00,079 --> 00:28:07,279
dates most assuredly, Folks is out of control. A timeline

417
00:28:07,319 --> 00:28:11,880
of Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking case. The office's attitude changed

418
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,400
after the Miami Herald highlighted the perversion of justice that

419
00:28:15,519 --> 00:28:19,000
resulted in Epstein's receiving a slap on the wrist. Again,

420
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:24,519
if you needed Julie Brown, a journalist, to blow this

421
00:28:24,599 --> 00:28:26,880
out of the water for you as a prosecutor in

422
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,359
New York, when all of this was handed to you,

423
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,160
when you had phone calls over this man for years

424
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,599
and people reported their behavior, If you needed Julie K.

425
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,440
Brown's story to kick your ass into gear, You, my

426
00:28:39,559 --> 00:28:43,480
friends are failures and you have no business in that

427
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,759
prosecutor's office. So retire, quit, Go get a job at

428
00:28:47,759 --> 00:28:54,640
the grocery store. You're more equipped for that. Epstein killed

429
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,839
himself last year, allegedly while awaiting trial for underage sex trafficking.

430
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:04,960
Maxwells pleaded not guilty to grooming Epstein's underage survivors and perjury,

431
00:29:05,119 --> 00:29:09,240
and is awaiting trial. Neither Epstein or Maxwell's lawyers responded

432
00:29:09,279 --> 00:29:13,599
to inquiries. This was not a situation where we were

433
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,279
dealing with people who didn't care. I never thought they

434
00:29:16,319 --> 00:29:19,160
didn't believe our story. I never had any doubt that

435
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,799
they were. That they were sympathetic, even outraged by it.

436
00:29:23,079 --> 00:29:25,880
They simply seemed to feel they couldn't be seen as

437
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,799
second guessing what the US attorney in Florida had done.

438
00:29:29,079 --> 00:29:32,079
Boys said, well, Boys has to say that, right. Boys

439
00:29:32,119 --> 00:29:34,279
has to be nice about this. He wants the prosecution

440
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,599
to continue doing their jobs. I, on the other hand,

441
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,559
do not have to be nice about it. I can

442
00:29:41,599 --> 00:29:45,039
say whatever the FI want. And in my opinion, this

443
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:50,240
office was negligent. Preet was negligent, and Miss Kramer was

444
00:29:50,279 --> 00:29:52,640
also negligent. And it goes all the way up to

445
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:57,160
Loretta Lynch. Buck stops there, right, she's the boss. If

446
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:58,880
those are the rules we're going to be using, then

447
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:03,160
those are the rules we're using all around for everybody, folks. Okay,

448
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,599
So Loretta Lynch should be asked about this prete next

449
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,920
time he's on the TV running his fat mouth about

450
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,200
the great job he did and when he was at

451
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,720
the SDNY. Somebody should just shove this right down his

452
00:30:16,839 --> 00:30:20,359
throat and ask him point blank, Yo, prete, why didn't

453
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,200
you care about the Jeffrey Epstein survivors? Why didn't your

454
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:30,319
office initiate an investigation until a journalist started nosing around?

455
00:30:31,799 --> 00:30:34,480
You don't think that your investigators could have unearthed this.

456
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,640
You don't think that your investigators could have done their

457
00:30:37,799 --> 00:30:43,599
job and help these survivors. They could have. You guys

458
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,920
just didn't care. If you'd like to contact me, you
