Epstein survivors have called out Todd Blanche and the DOJ for what they view as a grotesque inversion of priorities: the department has had time to sit down with Ghislaine Maxwell, manage her interview, release transcripts, defend its redaction...

What's up everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time. Maybe somebody should have told Todd Blanche that, because this guy still thinks that we're buying what he's selling. He got up there in front of Congress the other day and spit a whole bunch of nonsense talking about he's met with survivors, he has an open door policy, all kinds of stuff that was refuted by the survivors themselves. But according to Todd Blanche, he's spoken with a bunch of survivors and their lawyers, which is odd because you would think that if that was the case, there'd be people out here scrambling and saying, yeah, we met with him. Todd Blanche has helped out. He's done a great job. Have we heard that from anybody besides Donald Trump? Today's article is from the Independent and the headline Representative Ribs Trump's DOJ for Taking Good Care of Ghislaine Maxwell while Ignoring Epstein's victims. This article was authored by Alex Woodward and there is no explanation for it. Ghislaine Maxwell gets treated like a queen, while the interdimensional traveler Anna Paulina Luna is calling these girls traffickers themselves. And if Todd Blanche was worth his weight and salt, he would have corrected that too. Hey, look, I know there's been some comments from some of the members of this body, but those comments have been misdirected and they're out of line. He didn't say that though, did he? And why would he? It's all part of the COVID up, baby. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche testified to members of Congress last week that he has met with survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse, along with many of their lawyers. But more than a dozen survivors say they've never talked to him or his predecessor Pam Bondi, while other survivors said his foreign testimony strains credulity. And I agree with that. I think that he's pitching a bunch of just like Bondi was, just like crash out Cash Patel is. And folks, let's just be real. This fish stinks from the head. They're conducting themselves this way because that's how their boss conducts himself. So they feel like they can get away with it. And they know that Donald Trump is going to pardon them if they do commit any kind of crime or if they lie to Congress. So they have no fear of getting up there and acting foolish, lying and just being general all around miscreants and and the wildest part is they do it with a smile. Democratic Representative Daniel Goldman has now accused Blanche of shielding the dead sex offenders associate Ghislaine Maxwell while ignoring survivors who have repeatedly called for a meeting with the Department of Justice to investigate Epstein's alleged network of powerful abusers. Underscoring the growing strain between Donald Trump's administration and survivors who feel Epstein as if they've been cast aside. They have been. Have you seen the way Donald Trump's biggest supporters talk about these girls? Just go over to X, take a look. Absolutely disgusting. And the truth is the vast majority of those people have zero idea what they're even talking about. But that shit doesn't matter, does it? As long as what they're saying falls into somebody's confirmation bias. That's all people care about these days, not the truth. Why should they tell you the truth when gaslighting is so effective? Blanche is taking good care of Ghislaine Maxwell, who is an absolutely treacherous human being. But he will not meet with the other survivors who want to tell their story, Goldman said in a video on social media on Sunday. Why? Well, it's obvious it's a massive cover up, he said. What else could it be? There is no excuse for what's going on with Glenn Maxwell. There is no excuse for any of it. And it looks like the strategy is just going to be ignore it, don't talk about it. And if you do, you're not loyal to Donald Trump. How dare you not be loyal to Donald Trump. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is not loyal to anybody but himself. Now, some people might like one way traffic and some people might like to be used. I am not some people. And the second he threw down the gauntlet and called people enemies who wanted justice when it comes to Epstein, well, your boy was paying attention. And challenge accepted because anybody calling this Shit. A hoax right here is an enemy of humanity. And I truly believe that. And I don't give a damn what letter they have next to their name. RD Independent Libertarian from the planet Neptar. I do not care if you're involved in this. Cover up. Your bitch ass is on the clock and time is a ticking. Maxwell, serving a 20 year prison sentence after she was found guilty of recruiting and grooming young women and girls for Epstein, who died by suicide in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on trafficking charges. And you can always tell who has read the court documents and who hasn't, because anybody who has read the depositions and the stuff we've read about what happened at mcc, I don't know how you can confidently say that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. That is a big ass leap and that acts as a bit of a litmus test, right? If you know the story, then you're not sure about anything. Like the Operation Ivy Song says, all I know is that I don't know nothing. In October, the Supreme Court declined to review whether prosecutors fairly brought a case against her. With all of her appeals exhausted, Maxwell filed a petition for her release from prison in December claiming that substantial new evidence has emerged in her case. No evidence has emerged. Nothing whatsoever. She's lying like usual. And honestly, I don't know if there's a bigger liar on the face of this earth. She lies about everything. If Glenn Maxwell told me water was wet, I would have to stick my hand into the pool to figure it out for myself. That's how little faith I have in anything that woman says. Blanche interviewed Maxwell from prison in July 2025 as part of the Justice Department's review of the so called Epstein files. And she was then transferred to a minimum security woman's prison in Texas. What do you mean the so called Epstein files? Isn't that what they are? I mean they're files that have to do with Jeffrey Epstein, right? So what exactly do you mean about so called files? She's refused to voluntarily testify to Congress without assurances that she can receive some form of clemency. President Donald Trump and some House Republicans have not unequivocally rejected the idea of a presidential pardon. But Blanche said last week that he is ruled out recommending one. Well, isn't that nice? Good cop, bad cop, right? Todd Blanche will be the good cop this time around. And Donnie Trump, Mr. Diddles himself will be the bad cop. We all know how vindictive Trump is. And as the final F you to the survivors and the country, hell, the World, would you really be shocked to see Donald Trump pardon Ghislaine Maxwell? I certainly wouldn't be. Look, a narcissist is going to be a narcissist. Epstein's former personal assistant, Sarah Kellen testified in Congress last week in a closed door deposition during which he described years of abuse. According to Goldman. Victims want to tell their stories and they're not being allowed to. He said, I think we need to pump the brakes before we call Sarah Kellen Vickers a victim. Okay, look, I've been very clear about how I feel, so I'm not going to beat that dead horse. But a victim, that is a step too far. In a brittle exchange with Senator Chris Van Hollen during Blanche's testimony to the Senate Appropriations Committee last week, the Maryland Democrats said Epstein survivors are extremely frustrated that you keep calling for people to come forward with more evidence, but you have not met with them to hear their stories. And that's what I've heard from a lot of people, too. A lot of folks are saying that, that the DOJ is just bullshitting. And all of this is nothing more than a PR campaign by the doj, by the administration, to make it look like they care about survivors. But what do their actions tell us? How many survivors have their information revealed? How many survivors have been ignored? So you can say whatever you want, but do your actions back up what you're telling me? And for the DOJ and for Todd Blanche, the. The answer most certainly is no. So simple question. If I connect you with these survivors, will you meet with them? He asked. Blanche said he would absolutely meet with other survivors and accuse the Senator of spreading bad information. What you just said is false. I have met with them. I've met with many of the lawyers for the survivors of victims, as did Attorney General Bondi. Blanche said on May 19, we absolutely care for victims and we absolutely want to hear from them and their lawyers. He said, well do it. What are you waiting for? Why not hold a big press conference or a conference in general and invite the survivors, invite them all, have a closed door meeting, hear them out and go from there. They can't do it though, right? Because the optics would tell the country that there's more there and they've spent the last, what, year 10 telling us to move on. There's nothing left to see when there's obviously a damn marathon. What do you mean nothing to see? We don't just have one episode. We have a Nick at night Brady Bunch rerun marathon. That's what we have. It's so offensive that they would think we're stupid enough to believe that there's nothing left to see. A group of 18 survivors at Blanche has not met with any of them astrovivers. We previously saw a meeting with former Attorney General Bondi and and Department of Justice officials, but no meeting occurred, they said in a statement shared with the Independent. We should not have to be this persistent to engage with doj, the department responsible for handling the Epstein files, protecting their privacy and answering for years of secrecy and failure, they said. Is that too much to ask? Just put yourself in their shoes or imagine you were there dead or their brother or their friend. And if you do that, I highly doubt that you would find any of this acceptable. So why do you find it acceptable that it happened to somebody else's kids? The burden is not on us to keep making reports, they added. It's on the DOJ to investigate credible allegations against perpetrators and co conspirators and to account for the government's mishandling of these matters. Yeah, do your job. That's what they're saying. Given Blanche's latest remarks, the survivors are again asking the Justice Department to meet directly with survivors and their counsel. Not to ask survivors to start over, but to hear their concerns, explain how these failures occurred and provide clear answers about the release, redaction and withholding of Epstein related records going forward. Annie farmer, who was 16 when she first met Epstein, said she and her sister Maria Farmer have yet to receive any outreach from Blanche's office after reaching out to federal prosecutors who secured Maxwell's conviction. About Blanche's meeting, Annie Farmer said she was only met with silence and the news of her prison transfer. Well, yeah, Maxwell's the priority, not the survivors. And that's been proven time and time again. How many times do we see Maxwell getting hooked up and the survivors being treated like crap? Blanche's suggestion that survivors reach out to the Department of Justice to re report the crimes committed against them is beyond insulting, she said in a statement shared with the Independent. Many of us have already done that repeatedly, she said. Annie and Maria Farmer said they welcome Blanche's statement that he would not recommend a pardon for Maxwell. We will hold him to it, annie Farmer said. And we ask that he make the same commitment regarding the not recommending the commutation of her sentence either. Well, I would hope so. I would hope so, but I just don't have any confidence in this administration. The way they're conducting themselves is legit. One of the biggest embarrassments I've ever seen and the amount of damage and harm that they're doing to the institution of the DOJ is unimaginable. And the more they double down, the greater that harm becomes. So we'll see what happens here. And we'll see if the DOJ gets her act together and does the right thing. I know. I know. A guy can wish, though, right? All the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
