What's up, everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein chronicles. Back in 2023, there was a breach of the FBI mainframe where a hacker gained access to the Epstein files. And according to the report from Reuters, the activity included combing through certain files pertaining to the Epstein investigation. So my question is, how does something like that even happen? You would think that the FBI would have their on lock and you would think that they'd have some kind of layered protection to make sure people can't get access to these files. And it really slams the point home that the FBI just can't be trusted when it comes to anything. Jeffrey Epstein. And to be clear, this happened during the Biden administration, and it just goes to show you the long line of failures that we're dealing with when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. So today we have an article from cybernews.com and the headline epstein Files Compromised by Foreign Hacker who Breached the FBI. This article was originally published by Reuters. The details of who accessed a server at the FBI's New York field office is including. The allegation that a foreign hacker was involved are being reported for the first time. In a statement, the FBI said what it described as a cyber incident was an isolated one. Oh, well, in that case, folks, everything's okay. It was just an isolated incident. Do they think we're stupid? If this was targeted and they were looking for certain documents, all they needed was an isolated incident. They didn't need to have access to the server for months on end. If they were looking for specific files or specific information, all they needed was an isolated incident. So the question should be, what did they access? What files? What did they take? Did they change anything? We need a full accounting of that. The FBI restricted access to the malicious actor and rectified the network. The investigation remains ongoing, so we do not have further comments to provide at this time. Oh, of course. Another ongoing investigation. God forbid they give us any information about anything ever. But One thing we do know is that this server was breached and this information was accessed by a malicious actor. And considering how many pies Jeffrey Epstein had his hands in around the world, it could be anybody. Mossad, Russia, China, who knows? Honestly, at this point, who knows? Epstein was so intertwined with people that it could be anybody. And of course, we can't rule out our own CIA, but they can't make it look like it was a foreign actor doing this. Come on, we all know the truth. And as far as I'm concerned, the CIA sure has a lot to hide when it comes to their relationship with. With Jeffrey epstein. If you think the CIA was not aware of Epstein, didn't know who Epstein was, wasn't in bed with Epstein, I really don't know what to tell you. Although the source said the intrusion appeared to be carried out by a cyber criminal rather than a foreign government, the incident underscores the file's potential intelligence value. One academic said, well, there's no doubt there's a ton of intelligence value there. So it really makes me wonder why it wasn't protected better. You mean to tell me the FBI can't safeguard this information in a manner that can't be accessed by foreign actors? Or could it be that the FBI knows exactly who did this and they plan on looking the other way and sweeping it under the rug? Again, we can't rule anything out. And I wish I could sit here and tell you that I trust the DOJ or the FBI or anybody in power, but I don't. And that's because for years and years and years, they've taken a dump on us. So why should I give them the benefit of the doubt in a situation like this? The legally mandated publication of u. S. Justice department documents has exposed the dead financiers, ties to prominent people in politics for finance, academia, and business, triggering investigations in numerous countries around the world. Who wouldn't be going after the Epstein files? If you're the Russians or somebody interested in kompromat, said John Lindsay, who researches the role of emerging technology and global security at the georgia institute of technology, if foreign intelligence agencies are not thinking seriously about the Epstein files as a target, then I would be shocked. Well, I agree with him there. There's no doubt that it looks like a juicy target for foreign intelligence. I mean, can you imagine the treasure trove of information the FBI has when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein? I mean, you have to know your employees, right? The breach was reported contemporaneously by CNN and Reuters on February 17. The connection to Epstein material was made by the French magazine Marianne. Yo, that's a whole ass problem. Why aren't our media services here in America putting two and two together? Why aren't they building the case? Why aren't they bringing their findings to the American people? Why are they holding the administration accountable? Why is it that a foreign news outlet called Marianne breaks this story? How is that even possible? I'll tell you why. Because they still don't get it. They still don't care. And a lot of them are still running cover for the people that enabled and co conspired with Jeffrey Epstein. The legacy media has done a fantastic job when it comes to covering up for Jeffrey Epstein. But now, now they'll tell you that they're the heroes. They were the shining light in the darkness. And without the legacy media, we'd have none of this information. But the truth is the legacy media has just piggybacked off the work of other people and now they're acting like they care all of a sudden. But before they couldn't be bothered. Have we forgotten about abc? Have we forgotten about all these outlets that call this a conspiracy theory? And look, it's not only the legacy media. You have a lot of these people, podcasters, etc, who are on the left, who had no time for Jeffrey Epstein previously, but now all of a sudden, that's all they talk about. And the vast majority of them, I hate to say, have no idea what they're even talking about. And it's in that confusion that a cover up like this thrives. The more confusion, the better. The less cohesiveness, the better. The more the people are at odds with each other, the better. And I don't know about you, but I'm tired of marching to their tune. In fact, they want this to be a parade like march, but instead what they're going to get is a mosh pit. Epstein, a longtime associate of President Donald Trump, pleaded guilty in 2008 to prostitution charges, including soliciting an underage girl. He was found hanged in his jail cell in 2019 and what was ruled a suicide after being arrested again on federal charges of sex trafficking minors. And as you all know, I have my doubts about that. And that's why we're spending so much time on these OIG interviews with people that were there the night Epstein died. And I think it's very apparent that we're not getting the whole truth. The hack occurred after a server at the Child Exploitation Forensic lab in the FBI's New York field office was inadvertently left Vulnerable by Special Agent Aaron Spivak, who was trying to navigate the Bureau's complex procedure for handling digital evidence, according to the source and the documents. Hell of a job, Mr. Spivak. Has anybody checked his bank account? Was he paid to leave this doorway open? And again, look, I don't know. I'm not saying that he did. I'm asking about the investigation. Right? And I think we've learned over the years that we have to ask all these questions. I know we shouldn't have to ask them. It should just be second nature for a real investigation. But this is not a real investigation, so of course we have to hold our feet to the fire. A timeline written by Spivak and included in the large cache of Epstein documents released earlier this year said the break in happened on February 12, 2023. It was discovered the following day when. When Spivak turned on his computer and discovered a text file warning him that his network had been compromised, according to that document. Further investigation turned up traces of unusual activity on the server, the document said, adding that the activity included combing through certain files pertaining to the Epstein investigation. Well, isn't that nice, huh? I wonder what they had access to, what they got and what was destroyed. Because what, you think they just took a look? Highly doubt that. Further investigation turned up traces of unusual activity on the server, the document said, adding that the activity included combing through certain files pertaining to the Epstein investigation. The timeline does not say which specific files were accessed, whether the hacker downloaded the data, or who the hacker was. Writers could not establish what is, if any, overlap the affected data had with the Epstein documents published earlier this year or the files that remain under wraps. We need a full accounting of this. What went down, how did it happen, and what's the report? Right. Congress needs to get involved here. I mean, this isn't setting off red flags and alert bells for everybody else, like, what are we doing here? Spivak, whose name appears elsewhere in the documents in connection with the Epstein investigation, did not return repeated messages seeking comment. Reuters was unable to reach the man identified in the documents as Spivak's lawyer, Richard J. Roberson Jr. And seven FBI agents identified in the documents as being involved in the investigation into the incident did not return messages. This is wholly unacceptable. The FBI needs to provide clarity on this. What happened, when it happened, and where we are in the investigation now.

In his statement, two FBI investigators examining whether he was responsible for the breach, Spivak said he was being made a scapegoat for the intrusion and that the conflicting Bureau policies and faulty guidance for around information technology were to blame. Reuters cannot establish the result of the Bureau's internal investigation. Probably the same as usual. Nothing happens. Oh, don't do that again, Mr. Spivak. Meanwhile, the damage is already done. The person familiar with the breach said the intrusion was carried out by a foreign hacker who did not appear to realize they had penetrated a law enforcement server. The hacker expressed disgust at the presence of child abuse images of on the device and left a message threatening to turn its owner over to the FBI, the person said. The source said the Bureau officials defused the situation by convincing the hacker that they actually were the FBI, in part by having the hacker join a video chat where they flashed their law enforcement credentials in front of a web camera. What? What in the hell is going on here? And mind you, this is 2023, so let's not forget this was that idiot Merrick Garland's DOJ. And boy were they a bunch of boobs. Oh, let's have a video chat with a hacker. Here's an idea. How about you send a Tomahawk missile through his window? Many of the Justice Department's documents have been heavily redacted and others have been kept secret altogether, despite a law mandating their full release last year. The Trump administration says it's withholding material that could compromise victims identities or jeopardize ongoing investigations. Well, we know there's no ongoing investigations. And we know they don't care about people's identities, considering how shitty they've been when it comes to concealing them. So really what they're doing is just giving all of us the middle finger, right? You're not getting these documents and there's nothing you can do about it. Oh, and by the way, did you hear that a hacker hacked our and was perusing our Epstein files? Yeah, but no big deal. We don't need to alert anybody about that. No committee needs to be held over that. We don't need to have any kind of public answers for that. Can somebody tell me again why I should trust the DOJ or the FBI? Because I can't come up with a reason at this point. And it seems like every time we turn around, they're giving us another reason not to trust them. And when we hear about situations like this, it just slams that point home. So obviously Congress needs to get involved here and they need to subpoena Mr. Spivak and anybody else involved. And of course, that's what would happen if this was a real investigation. But considering it's nothing more than political theater, I would suggest that you get comfortable now with the fact that we're never going to know anything really about this hack and who was involved. So. So let's see where this all goes and let's see what kind of information we end up getting. But I have my doubts if we're ever going to get any clarity here. So we'll keep an eye on it. And when we do have some more information, one way or the other, we'll make sure to update the catalog. As for this one, well, that's going to do it.
