1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:07,559 Epstein Chronicles. Back in twenty twenty three, there was a 3 00:00:07,639 --> 00:00:13,240 breach of the FBI mainframe where a hacker agained access 4 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:18,879 to the Epstein files, and according to the report from Reuters, 5 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:23,519 the activity included calling through certain files pertaining to the 6 00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:27,359 Epstein investigation. So my question is, how does something like 7 00:00:27,359 --> 00:00:30,879 that even happen. You would think that the FBI would 8 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,560 have their shit on lock, and you would think that 9 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,280 they'd have some kind of layered protection to make sure 10 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,000 people can't get access to these files. And it really 11 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,880 slams the point home that the FBI just can't be 12 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,439 trusted when it comes to anything Jeffrey Epstein. And to 13 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:50,159 be clear, this happened during the Biden administration, and it 14 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,600 just goes to show you the long line of failures 15 00:00:53,119 --> 00:00:55,759 that we're dealing with when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. 16 00:00:56,119 --> 00:00:59,000 So today we have an article from cybernews dot com 17 00:01:00,119 --> 00:01:04,000 the headline Epstein files compromised by a foreign hacker who 18 00:01:04,079 --> 00:01:08,840 breached the FBI. This article was originally published by Reuters. 19 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,120 The details of who access to server at the FBI's 20 00:01:15,159 --> 00:01:18,519 New York Field office, including the allegation that a foreign 21 00:01:18,519 --> 00:01:21,719 hacker was involved are being reported for the first time. 22 00:01:22,599 --> 00:01:25,879 In a statement, the FBI said, what it described as 23 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,920 a cyber incident was an isolated one. Oh well, in 24 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,719 that case, folks, everything's okay. It was just an isolated incident. 25 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:38,040 Do they think we're stupid? If this was targeted and 26 00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:40,959 they were looking for certain documents, all they needed was 27 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,879 an isolated incident. They didn't need to have access to 28 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,920 the server for months on end. If they were looking 29 00:01:47,959 --> 00:01:52,079 for specific files or specific information, all they needed was 30 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,560 an isolated incident. So the question should be what did 31 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,040 they access, what files, what did they take? Did they 32 00:01:59,079 --> 00:02:03,439 change anything? We need a full accounting of that. The 33 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,959 FBI restricted access to the malicious actor and rectified the network. 34 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,560 The investigation remains ongoing, so we do not have further 35 00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:14,919 comments to provide at this time. Oh, of course, another 36 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,960 ongoing investigation. God forbid they give us any information about 37 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:25,360 anything ever. But one thing we do know is that 38 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,599 this server was breached and this information was accessed by 39 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,120 a malicious actor. And considering how many pies Jeffrey Epstein 40 00:02:33,159 --> 00:02:36,039 had his hands in around the world, it could be anybody. 41 00:02:36,439 --> 00:02:41,840 Masad Russia fucking China. Who knows, honestly at this point, 42 00:02:41,879 --> 00:02:46,039 who knows? Epstein was so intertwined with people that it 43 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,560 could be anybody? And of course we can't rule out 44 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,120 our own CIA what they can't make it look like 45 00:02:52,159 --> 00:02:54,560 it was a foreign actor doing this. Come on, we 46 00:02:54,599 --> 00:02:56,719 all know the truth, and as far as I'm concerned, 47 00:02:56,759 --> 00:02:59,319 the CIA sure has a lot to hide when it 48 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,319 comes to their life relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. If you 49 00:03:03,439 --> 00:03:06,520 think the CIA was not aware of Epstein, didn't know 50 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,240 who Epstein was, wasn't in bed with Epstein, I really 51 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:15,400 don't know what to tell you. Although the source said 52 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,960 the intrusion appeared to be carried out by a cyber 53 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,800 criminal rather than a foreign government, the incident underscores the 54 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,360 files potential intelligence value. One academic said, well, there's no 55 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,120 doubt there's a ton of intelligence value there. So it 56 00:03:29,159 --> 00:03:34,840 really makes me wonder why it wasn't protected better. You 57 00:03:34,919 --> 00:03:37,680 mean to tell me the FBI can't safeguard this information 58 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,599 in a manner that can't be accessed by foreign actors. 59 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,400 Or could it be that the FBI knows exactly who 60 00:03:44,439 --> 00:03:47,080 did this and they plan on looking the other way 61 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,000 and sweeping it under the rug. Again. We can't rule 62 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,039 anything out. And I wish I could sit here and 63 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,159 tell you that I trust the DOJ or the FBI 64 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,919 or anybody in power, But I don't because for years 65 00:04:00,919 --> 00:04:04,879 and years and years they've taken a dump on us, 66 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,240 So why should I give them the benefit of the 67 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:13,960 doubt in a situation like this. The legally mandated publication 68 00:04:14,039 --> 00:04:18,160 of US Justice Department documents has exposed the dead financiers 69 00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:23,240 ties to prominent people in politics, finance, academia, and business, 70 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:29,560 triggering investigations in numerous countries around the world. Who wouldn't 71 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,560 be going after the Epstein files if you're the Russians 72 00:04:32,759 --> 00:04:36,680 or somebody interested in compromont said John Lindsay, who researches 73 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,439 the role of emerging technology and global security at the 74 00:04:40,519 --> 00:04:45,240 Georgia Institute of Technology. If foreign intelligence agencies are not 75 00:04:45,319 --> 00:04:48,720 thinking seriously about the Epstein files as a target, then 76 00:04:48,759 --> 00:04:51,680 I would be shocked. Well, I agree with them. There 77 00:04:52,079 --> 00:04:54,920 there's no doubt that it looks like a juicy target 78 00:04:55,199 --> 00:04:58,199 for foreign intelligence. I mean, can you imagine the treasure 79 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,240 trove of information the FBI has when it comes to 80 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,160 Jeffrey Epstein. I mean, you have to know your employees right. 81 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,639 The breach was reported contemporaneously by CNN and Reuters. On 82 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,759 February seventeenth, The connection to Epstein material was made by 83 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,680 the French magazine Mary Anne. Yo, that's the whole last problem. 84 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,639 Why aren't our media services here in America putting two 85 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,199 and two together. Why aren't they building the case. Why 86 00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:30,279 aren't they bringing their findings to the American people. Why 87 00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:34,959 aren't they holding the administration accountable? Why is it that 88 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:40,000 a foreign news outlet called Mary Anne breaks this story? 89 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,279 How is that even possible? I'll tell you why. Because 90 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,639 they still don't get it, they still don't care, and 91 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,439 a lot of them are still running cover for the 92 00:05:48,439 --> 00:05:52,120 people that enabled and co conspired with Jeffrey Epstein. The 93 00:05:52,199 --> 00:05:56,120 legacy media has done a fantastic job when it comes 94 00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,240 to covering up for Jeffrey Epstein. But now now they'll 95 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,759 tell you that they're the heroes. They were the shining 96 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,079 light in the darkness, and without the legacy media, we'd 97 00:06:06,079 --> 00:06:08,600 have none of this information. But the truth is, the 98 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,879 legacy media has just piggybacked off the work of other 99 00:06:11,959 --> 00:06:15,560 people and now they're acting like they care all of 100 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:20,199 a sudden, But before they couldn't be bothered. Have we 101 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,399 forgotten about ABC? Have we forgotten about all these outlets 102 00:06:23,519 --> 00:06:25,920 that call this a conspiracy theory? And look, it's not 103 00:06:25,959 --> 00:06:30,079 only the legacy media. You have a lot of these people, podcasters, etc. 104 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,160 Who are on the left who had no time for 105 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,360 Jeffrey Epstein previously, but now all of a sudden, that's 106 00:06:36,399 --> 00:06:39,000 all they talk about. And the vast majority of them, 107 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,839 I hate to say, have no idea what they're even 108 00:06:41,879 --> 00:06:44,920 talking about. And it's in that confusion that a cover 109 00:06:45,079 --> 00:06:48,199 up like this thrives. The more confusion, the better. The 110 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,600 less cohesiveness the better. The more the people are at 111 00:06:51,639 --> 00:06:54,199 odds with each other, the better. And I don't know 112 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,720 about you, but I'm tired of marching to their tune. 113 00:06:56,959 --> 00:06:59,600 In fact, they want this to be a parade like March, 114 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,720 but instead what they're going to get is a mosh pit. Epstein, 115 00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:09,439 a longtime associate of President Donald Trump, pleaded guilty in 116 00:07:09,439 --> 00:07:13,120 two thousand and eight to prostitution charges, including soliciting an 117 00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:16,199 underage girl. He was found hanged in his jail cell 118 00:07:16,319 --> 00:07:19,800 in twenty nineteen and what was ruled to suicide after 119 00:07:19,839 --> 00:07:23,959 being arrested again on federal charges of sex trafficking miners, 120 00:07:24,959 --> 00:07:27,720 and as you all know, I have my doubts about that, 121 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,680 and that's why we're spending so much time on these 122 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,519 OIG interviews with people that were there the night Epstein died. 123 00:07:34,839 --> 00:07:37,519 And I think it's very apparent that we're not getting 124 00:07:37,519 --> 00:07:41,800 the whole truth. The hack occurred after a server at 125 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,480 the Child Exploitation Forensic Lab in the FBI's New York 126 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:50,319 Field office was inadvertently left vulnerable by Special Agent Aaron Spivak, 127 00:07:50,759 --> 00:07:53,839 who was trying to navigate the bureau's complex procedure for 128 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,000 handling digital evidence. According to the source and the documents, 129 00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:02,319 hell of a job, mister speak. Has anybody checked his 130 00:08:02,399 --> 00:08:06,639 bank account? Was he paid to leave this doorway open? 131 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,160 And again, look, I don't know. I'm not saying that 132 00:08:09,199 --> 00:08:12,879 he did. I'm asking about the investigation, right, And I 133 00:08:12,959 --> 00:08:16,279 think we've learned over the years that we have to 134 00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:19,040 ask all these questions. I know we shouldn't have to 135 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,360 ask them, it should just be second nature for a 136 00:08:21,399 --> 00:08:25,279 real investigation. But this is not a real investigation, so 137 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,480 of course we have to hold our feet to the fire. 138 00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:32,080 A timeline written by Spivac and included in the large 139 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,200 cash of Epstein documents released earlier this year, said the 140 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,240 breaking happened on February twelfth, twenty twenty three. It was 141 00:08:39,279 --> 00:08:42,320 discovered the following day when Spivac turned on his computer 142 00:08:42,759 --> 00:08:45,639 and discovered a text file warning them that his network 143 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,919 had been compromised. Well, according to that document, further investigation 144 00:08:50,039 --> 00:08:53,120 turned up traces of unusual activity on the server, the 145 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,799 document said, adding that the activity included combing through certain 146 00:08:57,799 --> 00:09:03,200 files pertaining to the Epstein investment mitigation. Well, isn't that nice? Huh? 147 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,720 I wonder what they had access to, what they got 148 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,840 and what was destroyed, because what you think they just 149 00:09:08,879 --> 00:09:13,720 took a look? Highly doubt that. Further investigation turned up 150 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,240 traces of unusual activity on the server, the document said, 151 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,720 adding that the activity included combing through certain files pertaining 152 00:09:21,919 --> 00:09:25,679 to the Epstein investigation. The timeline does not say which 153 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,559 specific files were accessed, whether the hacker downloaded the data, 154 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,639 or who the hacker was. Reuters could not establish what, 155 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,120 if any overlap the affected data had with the Epstein 156 00:09:38,159 --> 00:09:42,200 documents published earlier this year, or the files that remained 157 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,159 under wraps. We need a full accounting of this. What 158 00:09:46,279 --> 00:09:49,840 went down, how did it happen? And what's the report? Right? 159 00:09:50,279 --> 00:09:54,159 Congress needs to get involved here. I mean, this isn't 160 00:09:54,159 --> 00:09:58,120 setting off red flags and alert bells for everybody else, Like, 161 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,559 what are we doing here? Vivak, whose name appears elsewhere 162 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,000 in the documents in connection with the Epstein investigation, did 163 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,720 not return repeated messages seeking comment. Reuters was unable to 164 00:10:09,759 --> 00:10:13,000 reach the man identified in the documents as Spivak's lawyer, 165 00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:19,080 Richard J. Roberson Junior, and seven FBI agents identified in 166 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,480 the documents as being involved in the investigation into the 167 00:10:22,519 --> 00:10:27,120 incident did not return messages. This is wholly unacceptable. The 168 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,120 FBI needs to provide clarity on this, what happened, when 169 00:10:31,159 --> 00:10:34,320 it happened, and where we are in the investigation now. 170 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,679 In his statement to FBI investigators examining whether he was 171 00:10:40,759 --> 00:10:43,840 responsible for the breach, Spivak said he was being made 172 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,159 a scapegoat for the intrusion and that the conflicting bureau 173 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,200 policies and faulty guidance around information technology were to blame. 174 00:10:51,879 --> 00:10:56,279 Reuters cannot establish the result of the bureau's internal investigation. 175 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,799 Probably the same as usual, nothing happens. Oh, don't do 176 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,799 that again, mister Spivak. Meanwhile, the damage is already done. 177 00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:08,000 The person familiar with the breach said the intrusion was 178 00:11:08,039 --> 00:11:10,440 carried out by a foreign hacker who did not appear 179 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,120 to realize they had penetrated a law enforcement server. The 180 00:11:14,159 --> 00:11:17,600 hacker expressed disgust at the presence of child abuse images 181 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,639 on the device and left a message threatening to turn 182 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,279 its owner over to the FBI, the person said. The 183 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,200 source said the bureau officials diffuse the situation by convincing 184 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,559 the hacker that they actually were the FBI, in part 185 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,039 by having the hacker joined a video chat where they 186 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,320 flashed their law enforcement credentials in front of a web camera. 187 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:43,279 What what in the hell's going on here? And mind you, 188 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,799 this is twenty twenty three, so let's not forget this 189 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,960 was that idiot Merrick Garland's DJ, and boy were they 190 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,159 a bunch of boobs? Oh, let's have a video chat 191 00:11:53,159 --> 00:11:56,000 with a hacker. Here's an idea, how about you send 192 00:11:56,039 --> 00:12:02,039 a Tomahawk missile through his window. Many of the Justice 193 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,679 Department's documents have been heavily redacted, and others have been 194 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,360 kept secret altogether, despite a law mandating their full release. 195 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,480 Last year, the Trump administration says it's withholding material that 196 00:12:13,519 --> 00:12:19,159 could compromise victims identities or jeopardize ongoing investigations. Well, we 197 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,480 know there's no ongoing investigations, and we know they don't 198 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,000 care about people's identities considering how shitty they've been when 199 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,480 it comes to concealing them. So really, what they're doing 200 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,600 is just giving all of us the middle finger. Right, 201 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,600 you're not getting these documents and there's nothing you can 202 00:12:33,639 --> 00:12:36,360 do about it. Oh and by the way, did you 203 00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:39,519 hear that a hacker hacked our shit and was perusing 204 00:12:39,919 --> 00:12:43,639 our Epstein files? Yeah, but no big deal. We don't 205 00:12:43,639 --> 00:12:46,440 need to alert anybody about that. No committee needs to 206 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,039 be held over that. We don't need to have any 207 00:12:49,159 --> 00:12:52,600 kind of public answers for that. Can somebody tell me 208 00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:55,919 again why I should trust the DOJ or the FBI, 209 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,799 because I can't come up with a reason at this point, 210 00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:01,559 and it seems like every time we turn around, they're 211 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,120 giving us another reason not to trust them. And when 212 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,679 we hear about situations like this, it just slams that 213 00:13:06,759 --> 00:13:10,039 point home. So obviously Congress needs to get involved here, 214 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,399 and they need to subpoena mister Spivak and anybody else 215 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,159 involved and of course that's what would happen if this 216 00:13:17,279 --> 00:13:20,759 was a real investigation. But considering it's nothing more than 217 00:13:20,799 --> 00:13:23,679 political theater, I would suggest that you get comfortable now 218 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,279 with the fact that we're never going to know anything 219 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,960 really about this hack and who was involved. So let's 220 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,120 see where this all goes, and let's see what kind 221 00:13:32,159 --> 00:13:34,679 of information we end up getting. But I have my 222 00:13:34,799 --> 00:13:37,240 doubts if we're ever going to get any clarity here, 223 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,279 So we'll keep an eye on it, and when we 224 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,159 do have some more information one way or the other, 225 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:47,039 we'll make sure to update the catalog. As for this one, well, 226 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,600 that's going to do it. All the information that goes 227 00:13:49,639 --> 00:13:53,360 with this episode can be found in the description box.
