Foreign what's up, everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. When it comes to Jeffrey Epstein and Glenn Maxwell, there are many unanswered questions. And one of the questions that's burning hot right now is why Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred. We have no answers. Nobody's come forward and told us anything about it. And not only that, but they, like, get offended if you have any questions about why Ghisan Maxwell was moved. There was no justification for it and there was no reason for it. So basically they just wasted your tax dollars to get Ghislaine Maxwell better treatment. So she'd say a couple nice things about Donald Trump and imagine you have to rely on Ghislaine Maxwell as some kind of character builder. Holy how the mighty have fallen. Today's article is from Ms. Now and the headline Democrats demand answers over DOJ's prison policy tied to Glenn Maxwell. This article was authored by Kevin Frey. House Democrats want answers about a recent policy change at the Federal Bureau of Prisons, arguing leaders at the Department of Justice are trying to cover their tracks following the August transfer of Jeffrey Epstein associate Glenn Maxwell to a lower security facility. So you can't retroactively change the policy and then say, oh, this is what we were doing. That's not how it works and it's part of the COVID up. I hate to keep saying it, but that's what we're looking at. That's what's happening right now in real time. That new policy, which was published last month and has not been previously reported, dictates that in certain circumstances, the Attorney General may exercise authority to designate or redesignate the place of a prisoner's imprisonment. So like I told you before, the DOJ oversees the bop. So when you have Pam Bondi telling us she has no idea, that's a lie. Either that or she wasn't really in charge of the DoJ, which is quite possible. She could have been the face with Todd Blanche really in charge, that wouldn't shock me. That new policy, which was published last month and has not been previously reported, dictates that in certain circumstances the Attorney General may exercise authority to designate or redesignate the place of a prisoner's imprisonment. Democrats argue the expansion of federal authority over inmate placement is a major departure from previous policy, which they said vested more authority in the Bureau of Prisons and placed specific restrictions on where inmates could be held, including taking into account whether the prisoner is a sex offender. Oh, that doesn't matter anymore. That's all a hoax. The only time it matters is if they think they can score political points talking about it. Oh, the FBI found so and so many kids. Oh, the FBI did this. Oh, the FBI did that. VA fungal the FBI. How about that? Because they haven't done here besides protect Epstein and his friends and continue to lie to all of us. That's all they've done here. And now with their new little policy change, they're trying to cover it up. Representative Deborah Ross of North Carolina, a Democratic member of the House Judiciary Committee, said the clear implication is that under the old rules, the Department of Justice violated the the Bureau of Prison's own rules when it transferred Glenn Maxwell to Club Fed, where sex offenders are not allowed to be. Since it violated the policy for who can do prison transfers, they're trying to cover their tracks retroactively, Ross alleged. Well, you can't commit a crime and then go back and change the law retroactively and say, hey, look, we shouldn't go to jail now. Because if that's the case, then every single person who's ever been busted for illegal gambling, sports gambling, should have their whole entire record cleaned off. Right. If we're retroactively going back and doing that. But that's not how it works for most people. Then again, most people aren't Ghislaine Maxwell. Last year, Maxwell was transferred from a low security facility in Florida to a minimum security camp in Texas. Shortly after, she met with then Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch, who said he wanted to talk about what she knows about Epstein. And Blanche had the audacity to say he wanted to get Maxwell's story. Buddy, she had a chance to tell her story. She didn't take the stand. She didn't get up there and tell the truth. In fact, she's done nothing but lie the whole time. And I hate to break the news to you, Todd, Blanche, she lied to you, too. Maxwell serving a 20 year sentence for her role in a scheme to sexually exploit and abuse minors. She has appealed for President Donald Trump to grant her clemency. It's a little more than that. Her role in a scheme to sexually exploit and abuse minors. She took part in the abuse herself. This woman is almost as evil, if not as evil as Jeffrey Epstein. I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to figure out what, what they're doing, ross said of the doj. Amping up pressure on the Trump administration for answers, Ross sent a letter shared first with msnow to the Federal Bureau of Prisons on Friday morning. In it, Ross asked the agency to explain what prompted the policy change and how it developed. She also asked for the bureau to detail how many times the attorney General has intervened regarding a prison designation or redesignation decision. My guess is not very often. Not exactly what the deputy Attorney General does. Usually they stay on the phone and they negotiate secret NPA deals, you know, from the Main Justice Office. They don't go down to talk to a criminal like Lane Maxwell. Has Todd Blanche went and talked to Madero? Has Todd Blanche went and talked to El Chapo? Has he went and talked to insert Mafia guy here? Of course he hasn't, because those dudes don't have any information on his boss. And I think that this is the clearest example of the COVID up and quid pro quo that we have. And if a special counsel took a look at this case, my guess is a whole lot of people would end up indicted and a lot of them would end up convicted because this cover up is obvious and they're doing it in such a blatant manner, in such a fu kind of way that it really makes me wonder what else they have up their sleeve. Because if this is it, I think they miscalculated because people are sick of it and people know that there's obvious favoritism being played to Glenn Maxwell and there's no answer for it. There's no reason for it. You're just told to accept it. Given Congress responsibility to oversee the federal correctional system and ensure that the BOP policies are evidence based, transparent and consistent with statutory requirements, we require answers on how and why your bureau decided to give Attorney General the authority to unilaterally transfer inmates and disregard the BOP evaluation of an inmate safety classification, ross writes in the letter. So now when the prosecution gets a conviction, are they just going to choose where they send these people that have been convicted? Because that's not how it worked. Previously, that was up to the bop, but now it's going to be up to the Attorney General. The letter also says the new policy raises troubling questions about the scope of of the Attorney General's asserted authority, the circumstances under which his authority may be exercised, and the potential effects on institutional operations. Fairness, transparency and consistency in federal prisoner placement. Decisions. Well, yeah, what it does is it sets it up for people to get hooked up. Everybody should be treated the same and the deputy attorney general shouldn't be going to see Glenn Maxwell and then Glenn Maxwell shouldn't be getting favorable treatment on the back end of that, especially in the light of Maxwell's transfer. The letter continues, any policy update warrants careful scrutiny by Congress and the public 1000%. Did they really think they were going to slide this by? Did they really think that they were just going to retroactively change this and all of us are going to be like, oh look, that's what the law says. Now there's going to be a portion of people that say that the hoax people, the people that will do whatever Donald Trump tells them. Oh yeah, those people, they'll say it. Well, look, this is a policy that's in place. There's nothing amiss here. There's no cover up most transparent administration in history. The letter is co signed by Representative Jamie Raskin of Maryland, who is poised to become the next chairman of the House Judiciary Committee if Democrats win control of the chamber in November. And Representative Ro Khanna, who spearheaded the congressional effort to force the release of The Epstein files, Ms. now separately reached out to the DOJ and the Federal Bureau of Prisons to ask for an explanation of the policy change. Neither agency responded. The demand for answers from House Democrats comes as Blanche Trump's pick to serve as the next attorney general is staring down the Senate confirmation process. God, I really hope they don't confirm them. I really hope. I mean they will because way too many people are willing to do whatever Donald Trump says, but they shouldn't. You guys thought that fucking Merrick Garland was bad. Wait until you get a load of Todd Blanch Ross told Ms. Now that provided the Bureau of Prisons does not respond to their House inquiry, Democrats will urge their Senate colleagues to ask Blanche about the prison policy change when it comes time for his confirmation hearing. We hope it comes up, she said. And they should. Everything should be on the table. When you're having a confirmation hearing, everything should be on the table and they need to bring it up. Getting to the bottom of the policy revision, she said, will also likely be part of the Democratic efforts next year to conduct oversight of the Trump White House and its handling of the Epstein case. Should they win control of of the House and the committee gavels in November's midterms, you can be sure of it, she said. And look, these Democrats have been talking a big game. Big game. And if they do win, when the midterms come rolling around they're going to be held accountable for what they have said and if you think that I'm giving them a pass, you're crazy. I'm not. They're going to have to step up to the plate and they're going to have to do everything they said they were going to do and I wish I could tell you that I'm confident that that's the case but I'm not because at this point I'm in show me mode. I don't care what any of these people tell us. Let's see the proof, let's see the evidence. Because when you chop it all up words are just wind. That's it. They don't mean anything if there's no follow through. So if the Democrats win the midterms they'll have a chance to put their money where their mouth is. The question is will they have the courage to do it? All the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
