What's up, everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche gave an interview where he was talking about the DOJ and their handling of the Epstein files. And of course, it was as ridiculous as you can imagine because Todd Blanche is not being honest or truthful about what went on or what's going on. And Todd baby Billy Blanche still hasn't responded or answered any questions about why Ghislaine Maxwell is getting the kind of treatment that she's getting. And then for him to get up there during this interview and just straight up lie to everybody is pretty disgusting. But unfortunately, it's also expected. And I know that comes as a shock to people because this obviously is and was the most transparent administration in history. Just ask them do they ever make a statement without telling a lie or without stretching the truth? And you know, I found something pretty interesting yesterday. When Joe Kent resigned from his position within the White House, all of a sudden there was this gigantic turn and everybody on social media that is hardcore MAGA dogpiled started calling them all kinds of names. A traitor, he's a leaker, he's this, he's that. And it's the same exact strategy they used during the Epstein files. Remember, they tried to turn the narrative and blame the survivors for being traffickers. And it's the same as vile people doing that to this Joe Kent character. And look, I'm not even talking about the politics stash that. I'm talking about the strategy. Right? And the strategy is Always to be on the offense, deflect, blame other people and play what about ism. And that's what the whole entire Trump administration has done since the election. And in this article, we're about to read from cnn, baby Billy Todd Blanche is cracking open the old playbook. This article was published by CNN and the headline, Deputy AG Blanche Defends DOJ's Work on Epstein case ahead of Closed Door Hill briefing. This dude needs to be held accountable for his part in this cover up. We got Donald Trump's personal lawyer investigating Donald Trump and his friends. Yeah, that's going to work out great. This article was authored by Hannah Rabinowitz. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch defended the Justice Department's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and asserted it does not have new evidence to prosecute anyone for crimes related to the convicted sex offender in an interview released on Tuesday. Sure. No financial crimes, no crimes whatsoever. No crimes of any girls being abused, no man act, no transporting people across state lines for sexual purposes, no wire fraud, no rico, nothing. Everything was on the up and up. And if you don't believe that, what are you, some kind of conspiracy theorist? Imagine anybody in the Trump administration attempting to tag anybody as a conspiracy theorist, especially when the real conspiracy here is the United States government continuing to conspire to protect Jeffrey Epstein's friends. That's the real conspiracy. I'm not trying to defend Epstein. I'm not. Blanche said in one exchange with Katie Miller, a former Trump administration spokesperson, on her podcast. I do defend the work that this department is doing today, right now, which is going after every single perpetrator everywhere. And if there's a narrative that exists that we're ignoring Epstein's victims, that is false. No, it's not. You're a liar. Katie Miller is a very disgusting human being, first of all. And this whole entire segment is propaganda just trying to get the troops in line. And you notice Todd Blanche cares so much about the survivors that he came out and corrected Anna Paulina Luna for her bullshit, right? Oh, wait, that didn't happen. So you're telling me that Todd Blanche is a liar and he doesn't care about the survivors? Yeah, that's exactly what I'm telling you. Blanche comments come as he and Attorney General Pam Bondi are are scheduled to brief members of Congress behind closed doors Wednesday on the investigation. The Justice Department has been fiercely criticized for its handling of the Epstein files and has worked to fend off pressure from lawmakers and the public who still question how the investigation into the convicted sex offender and Disgraced financier unfolded. And you're a conspiracy theorist for asking those questions. Meanwhile, you have Donald Trump giving an interview yesterday talking about how it cost $2 billion to buy these tankers that are sailing through the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, those tankers are nowhere near that price, but he just spurts off whatever he wants. And Todd Blanche has the audacity to talk about conspiracy theories. Aren't they engaged in one right now? Talking about Joe Kent leaked all that information. Well, let's see the evidence. They sure like to make a bunch of accusations, don't they? But they're always short on the evidence. But it doesn't even matter anymore, right? If the administration gives marching orders, all the quiz links fall in line. And we've seen it time and time again throughout this presidency. Every time somebody has the audacity to go against Trump, it becomes a violent mob like activity. And those people are turned on and maligned by these hardcore rabid MAGA supporters. I mean, take a look at what happened to Marjorie Taylor Greene. Take a look at what's happening to Thomas Massie. And me personally. I think that kind of mob like mentality is very dangerous. And I think it leads to a very, very dark place. People need to think for themselves. In my opinion, groupthink never leads to a good place. In the hour long interview, Miller, who was married to Stephen Miller, President Donald Trump's deputy chief of staff, press Blanche repeatedly to explain why the public should trust what the Justice Department says about its handling of the Epstein case. There is nothing he can say that would make me trust him. BRO is in way over his head. That deposition with Glenn Maxwell is going to go down as one of the most disgusting displays we've ever seen from the Attorney General's office. It was completely embarrassing. I mean, how many depositions have we been through where it's been confrontational? Look at the Tova Noel deposition we're going through right now. Not one single second during that Maxwell interrogation, if that's what you want to call it, was there any kind of adversarial approach? Everything was about getting Maxwell on the record. Let Maxwell tell her story. Why Todd Blanche, what kind of narrative are you trying to spin and why are you trying to do it and who does it help? That's really the question. Right? Because that's the end game. Help his friends, help the donors, and make sure that you're dancing to the tune coming out of the White House. But that's not supposed to be the role of the Attorney General's Office. Unfortunately, all the Attorney General's office is now is another extension of the executive branch. Miller pushed Blanche on long standing theories that still dominate online speculation, including whether Epstein was murdered in his jail cell or if the FBI was in possession of a list of clients that he kept. But also to explain why the FBI appears to have little insight into cameras set up inside Epstein's home and why new cases were being brought abroad, but not in the United States. And of course, he had no answers, no good ones, because there are no good answers. All there is is spin and. And Mr. Blanche is serving that up in heaps. How is it that the UK can do more on Prince Andrew than we can for any single one of these wealthy elite billionaires and people in government even, and not have one prosecution, not hold one person accountable? Miller asked. Blanche responded, well, because you need provable evidence. And so what I can do as the Deputy General is invite anybody with evidence to come to the FBI and tell us, which is what we've been screaming from the rooftops for a year. You're a liar, bro. I'll just straight up say it. I have zero fear to tell Todd Blanche that he's a liar because that's what I think he is. And he thinks this is all just a big ass joke. And I wonder if he's going to feel that same way when the next administration takes charge and really looks into how this was handled. Because you know that's coming. You know it's coming. And if they think they're going to rely on a pardon, they might be in trouble there too. Because if people get creative, and I have a feeling they will, dual sovereignty will come into play. So this is a situation for people like Todd Blanche and Pam Bondi, Cash Patel, everybody else out here speaking obvious falsehoods under oath, that's leaving them exposed later on down the road. Because remember, this administration is only temporary. They're going to be gone someday and new people are going to be sitting in the White House. And I have a funny feeling they're going to want to know some more about what happened when it comes to this investigation. How is it that the UK can do more on Prince Andrew than we can for any single one of these wealthy elite billionaires and people in government even, and not have one prosecution, not hold one person accountable? Blanche responded, well, because you need provable evidence. And so what I can do as the Deputy General is invite anybody with evidence to come to the FBI and tell us, which is what we've been screaming from the rooftops. For a year. Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, was arrested last month on suspicion of misconduct in public office. He's previously denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein and said that he never witnessed or suspected any of the behavior of which the sex offender was accused. While we're learning now that the investigation into Andrew, as I predicted, is expanding and they're looking into other aspects of the claims of his behavior while with Jeffrey Epstein, including the allegations made by Virginia. So Todd Blanche better be very, very careful with with what he says. Asked about cameras in Epstein's home, Blanche said they were installed years after the initial investigation. That's a lie too. Those cameras were removed during the initial investigation by Jeffrey Epstein's people. The hard drives, everything was removed. Is this guy for real? The Deputy Attorney General also dismissed other conspiracy theories, including Epstein being connected to to an intelligence agency, the body willed out of Epstein's cell actually being a body double, and Epstein being connected to the years old Pizzagate conspiracy theory. You don't believe that ice cream is a coded word for something else? Miller asked, referencing the Pizzagate theory which claims people use code words to describe abuse. Look, those emails sent in those WikiLeaks emails that were released, weird as hell. Still no explanation for it. And there's no doubt they were talking about weird shit like spirit cooking. This is all verifiable. You can read them yourself. But does that mean that Pizzagate is real? I don't think so. Not the way it was packaged. The emails were real. What those guys were up to was probably pretty scummy, but there's no verifiable evidence to back it up. And don't give me no about Isaac Cappy either, okay? Or frazzle drip. Bunch of bs. All that stuff was put in the way as a roadblock to the truth when it comes to Epstein. Just another psyop that was being run to counter the truth of this story from ever becoming mainstream. So they wanted to call everybody crazy, say everybody was some kind of conspiracy theorist. And boy, they really slammed that shit home, didn't they? They broke out the qa, non. They had Pizzagate. So everybody thought that Epstein was part of that. But any serious investigator understood right away that these were very, very distinct and different situations. One was real and the other one, well, was a psyop. I'm not saying ice cream is never coded for something else. Blanche said Miller and rapid fire questions and ask, do you believe in the files it refers to something sexual related to underage girls? I think there were all kinds of references to sexual. To underage women in the files. Which is why Epstein was such a disgusting man. Blanche responded, but that's a different question. Do I believe that there's any validity to the Pizzagate conspiracy? I do not. Well, that's something that we actually agree on. So I guess a broken clock is even right twice a day. But for the other bs, this, that Blanche was spitting during this interview. Talk about a bunch of nonsense. And talk about somebody that is not a serious lawman. I'm sorry, but he's not. In fact, he's the epitome of a DEI hire. I thought we hated that. I thought we were going away from that. Unless, of course, it's the Trump administration themselves, then it's okay. But look, folks, they're going to continue trying to gaslight you. They're going to continue to. To try and tell you that there is nothing to see here, that there was nobody else involved, and that Jeffrey Epstein was just some kind of lone predator. And previously, unfortunately, that sort of narrative would have worked, but not anymore. And that's because all of you fantastic people refuse to believe the bullshit. And the fact that they think that any of us are ready to move on might be their biggest miscalculation yet. All the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
