Across the Atlantic, European nations have responded to the release of Jeffrey Epstein–related files with a comparatively aggressive and public reckoning over elite complicity. In the United Kingdom, Norway, Poland, and elsewhere, the fallout from the...

What's up, everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. Lawmakers from the Oversight Committee were able to take a look at some of the unredacted files that have been redacted by the DOJ before being released to the public. And as you can imagine, they found some issues right away. And that's because the DOJ is not in compliance. And honestly, I doubt they even plan on ever being in compliance at this point. They've had ample opportunity to do the right thing, and time and time again, they've refused to do so. And even when there's a law passed, they find ways around it. You know, the loopholes and technicality strategy. That's certainly the strategy that's being used by the doj. And if there's nothing to hide, there is nothing to cover up, then why are they going to these lengths to make sure nobody sees these documents? Especially considering they tell us all the time how President Trump is some kind of crusader here and how he was working with the authorities. Cool. Then he should want to release all this stuff and get it out there, right? And clear his name. But of course, the exact opposite continues to happen. So why, if there is nothing damaging in those files, then why this whole song and dance? Why did we need a law to get the president to do what he said he was going to do anyway while he was on the campaign trail? Do you really think that there is nothing in those files, Nothing that the current administration or especially their donors are worried about? And if there's nothing to worry about, this has been one of the biggest blunders in the history of any administration. Imagine burning this kind of political capital, and there's nothing to hide. That would have to go down as one of the biggest blunders of all time. And while there's no doubt that I find this administration to be incompetent, I also don't believe that they'd be fighting tooth and nail the way they are if there was nothing to see inside of the documents. And if the Jeffrey Epstein story was over, they would come clean and they would end this tomorrow. The problem is they can't, because the only way to end the story now is to come completely clean and be transparent. And we know that's not going to happen. So their only other option is to dig in and try and make the COVID up as airtight as possible. But I don't think that's going to work out for them the way they think it will. This article was published by cnn, and the headline, New Roadblock Slow US reckoning over Epstein as Europe races ahead. This article was authored by Stephen Collinson and there's no doubt that Europe is holding people accountable. I would think that America would want to do the same thing. But then again, when you have the people in charge who are in charge, all bets are off. Who the knows what they're going to do next? Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche pledged last month that that the Justice Department was not protecting anyone, least of all Donald Trump. Those assurances by the president's former personal lawyer are facing new scrutiny following remarkable developments in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Come on. Does anyone believe Todd Blanch? All you have to do is take a listen to what he said to gain Maxwell and what he let Ghisne Maxwell say. And you know that Todd Blanche isn't a serious lawman. What he is is a mouthpiece for the administration. That's all he is. Intrigue deepened after lawmakers emerged perplexed after being given the chance to read unredacted versions of blacked out investigative files previously released to the public and massive document dumps compelled by Congress. And it's wild to me that the most transparent administration in history had to be drag kicking and screaming to release the files. Let's not forget that part of it. We didn't want there to be a cover up. And yet what I saw today was that there were lots of examples of people's names being redacted when they were not victims. Maryland Democratic Representative Jamie Raskin said the lawmakers started inspecting the documents at the DOJ on a day of broadening fallout from a scandal that has blown the lid off the late sex offenders stunning global network of billionaires and power brokers. Well, not for nothing, if y' all would have been paying attention seven years ago, you would have known. But the same powers that are now trying to muddy the waters did the same thing back then. They were able to change the narrative, they were able to steal the narrative and we ended up with no justice and, and nobody being held accountable. And now they're trying to do the same thing here. It was one guy, just a lone predator. There's nothing to see here, folks. Come on, move on. Oh, what do you have TDS so dumb. Like at least come with some kind of facts or something, right? And look, I'm not even talking about the human trafficking portion of this. I'm talking about the obvious financial crimes that were taking place, the obvious passing of information that was confidential by multiple parties to Jeffrey Epstein. That's what I'm talking about. So even if you don't believe the portion of this about there being this huge human trafficking network, how could you possibly deny the rest of it? How could you deny that there is a group of people behind the scenes that are truly in charge of everything? And I don't say that lightly. I'm not talking about a group of reptilians. I'm talking about a group of ultra rich people. And the vast majority of those people are in the financial sector. And that's why I've been driving that point home for seven years now. All the pain, all the suffering, all the can be traced directly right back to the financial sector. And if you're looking for villains, they're right there. The whole ass financial sector basically is corrupt. And that fact has been illuminated by the emails that we see between Jeffrey Epstein and the so called masters of the Universe. And what? That's not a problem that deserves more analysis? That's not a problem that should be dealt with? I most certainly think it is. And make no mistake, that's why they want you on the salacious side quests. They don't want you digging into this. They don't want you thinking about this from this point of view. Because like I've said a million times, if you really want justice and you really want to take these people down, there's one surefire way to do it. Dig directly into their finances. While new concerns surfaced over the DOJ's handling of the files and the case more generally, the push for accountability raised ahead in Europe, where the political careers and reputations of powerful people are in shreds. Yo, say what you want about Europe, but at least they're not wasting any time cleaning house of Jeffrey Epstein's buddies. We should take a page out of their book here in America, but unfortunately we won't because all these billionaires and power brokers, they're the ones who really run the country, not your President. While that people still think that the President really wields that power, you know, wields the power, the people who hold the purse strings, they wield the power. And breaking news, that's not the President. And suspicions among survivors that their long quest for justice is being impeded yet again were reinforced by an extraordinary offer made to Trump by a lawyer for Epstein's jailed associate, Ghis Maxwell. The gist was this. Grant clemency to Maxwell, a convicted sex trafficker, and she'll put the President in the clear. Well, in that case, why doesn't El Chapo just come out and say that he can Clear President Trump, too. Oh, yeah, I can clear Trump. He had nothing to do with Epstein. Can I get my pardon now as well? Like, what are we even doing here? Do they really think everybody's stupid enough to fall for this? Listen, not everybody tuned into Kid Rock for the halftime show. Lawmakers who were able to see some unredacted copies of the Epstein files did not directly accuse the DOJ of a cover up. But their findings only fuel mistrust among many of their colleagues and the public about its handling of the case. This is especially so since the names of many people linked to Epstein were redacted and in public disclosures while the names of some victims were visible. And that was the beginning of them trying to shift the narrative to blame the victims. And we're already seeing it. Look at the tweet by Anna Paulina Luna. I mean, talk about being out to lunch. And if you recall, this is the woman who told us, oh, yeah, I'm coming for transparency. I'm coming for justice. I'm coming to find out what really happened with Epstein, with JFK, with UFOs. Well, with the. This lady pumps, she should probably just stick to UFOs and Bigfoot, probably more speed because she has no idea what she's talking about when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. And just you watch, keep an eye on it. That's going to be the narrative shift over the coming weeks. After pressure from lawmakers, the Justice Department unredacted some more names in the Epstein files on Monday, with Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky telling CNN's Kaitlin Collins that they redacted the identities of several people named in a 2019 document that listed Epstein's alleged co conspirators. Blanche, in an online exchange with Massey on Monday night, said that the Justice Department is hiding nothing. Oh, no, nothing at all, except 3 million more documents. Is this guy for real? Imagine actually thinking that Todd Blanche was trustworthy. I mean, holy shit, this guy makes fucking Merrick Garland look like Eliot Ness. Democratic Representative James Wilkenshaw demanded answers. I can say that I saw many names, including names and emails to and from Jeffrey Epstein, that suggests these individuals were involved in crimes or at least knew about crimes. The Virginia lawmaker told CNN's Aaron Burnett. And again, I'm not able to explain why they were redacted in a way that's consistent with the law. Well, me either. The redactions are terrible. And the Justice Department, they need to explain why they redacted the names they did. Raskin said the department hadn't explained why certain redactions were made, but what he saw was a whole bunch of them that seemed very suspicious and baffling to me. Democratic Representative Jared Moskovitz told reporters he'd seen lots of names, lots of co conspirators, and there are trafficking girls all across the world. And I think people need to understand that this wasn't just something that was happening in in America. And a lot of these victims, a lot of these unnamed girls, as I call them, are from Central, Eastern Europe, South America, Central America, and everywhere else in between. And after Epstein's first arrest, he wised up. He knew that he could bring in girls from places like South America. He knew he could bring in girls from Eastern Europe and war torn countries. And he knew that the likelihood of him ever being caught or anyone believing them was zero to none. So they exploited that. And that was one of the hunting grounds that Jean Luc Brunel used almost extensively. The DOJ was supposed to limit redactions to the personal information of victims and materials that would jeopardize an active criminal investigation. And Congress has not yet received privilege from the DOJ explaining why certain redactions were made, which DOJ is compelled to provide. Fifteen days after its January 30th release of documents, the experience of lawmakers means an even tougher reception for Attorney General Pam Bondi when she testifies to the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday. Oh, you better believe I'm watching that one. I hope they grill the out of Pam Bondi because she certainly deserves it. She's done nothing but flub this from the very start. Many Democrats already believe that her department, whether by design or omission, is failing to honor the Epstein Files Transparency act, passed after a GOP revolt against Trump last year. The law's authors, California Democratic Representative Ro Khanna and Representative Massey, expressed disappointment with the doj. I think that's an understatement. I think we all have disappointment with the way the DOJ has handled this, and it's caused a collapse of trust when it comes to the DOJ and the investigations that they're engaging in. This lack of trust is certainly going to bleed over into other things. I mean, if they lied to us about this, what else are they lying about? That's really where we're at, right? Well, you think this is the only thing they're lying about? The only thing they've been dishonest about? Come on, we all know better than that. And the sad part is, instead of trying to regain our trust, the DOJ just continues to double down on the lies and the deceit, but they refuse to self correct. They refuse to do anything to help rebuild that trust. And the impact that's going to have on our society in general cannot be understated. All right, folks, we're gonna wrap up episode one right here. And in the next episode, we're gonna pick up where we left off.
