What's up everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. As the Congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and Jeffrey Epstein's criminal empire continues to rumble on Yesterday we had Tova Noel, one of the prison guards, giving her testimony before Congress. And of course we don't have the transcripts yet, so we don't know verbatim what was said. But listening to some of the after action reports by some of the Congress people, I'm not too confident that they were asking the right questions. And look, just to be clear, I don't think Tovenol was involved per se in the death of Jeffrey Epstein. Just like with Alex Acosta, it would have to go way higher than that. What I think is that the table was set and when I say that I'm talking about the situation was primed. For Jeffrey Epstein to do what he did or for somebody else to do it. And what better excuse can you use? Then the guards that were tasked with watching this dude fell asleep. We have no idea what happened. We were sleeping. It's not on us. In fact, we have no responsibility whatsoever. It's the system itself. And look, there is a grain of truth in that. There is no doubt that MCC was absolutely screwed up. And a friend of mine who spent over eight months at MCC while they were awaiting trial said the same thing. The place was absolutely screwed up for years and years and years. None of this was new. But he also said when you have somebody like Jeffrey Epstein as one of your inmates, there's all kinds of extra precautions that are usually taken. And yo, look at the high profile people that have been at MCC throughout the years. Have any of them killed themselves? Have their cameras stopped working? Have there been any of these issues? Of course there haven't been because El Chapo, well, a dangerous dude and obviously somebody you don't want to with. He's not Jeffrey Epstein and he didn't have the power, the reach or most importantly the compromise on powerful people. And one of my biggest fears with this Congressional Oversight Committee is that they're going to whitewash what happened. And according to some of the comments from some of the Congress people that were at this hearing yesterday, unfortunately it seems like that is going to be what they're going to do. Ah, look, it was systemic. Jeffrey Epstein ended up killing himself at that jail because, you know, the policies there weren't being followed. Okay, let's say that that's true. Let's accept that for just a moment. What exactly have they done in the aftermath of Jeffrey Epstein's death to Change these issues. Who ended up getting fired? Who lost a pension? Nobody. In fact, Tovin Oel and Michael Thomas didn't even go to jail. So all these Democrats that are on this committee, they can, you know, rant and rave and talk about transparency and talk about justice and talk about whatever they want, but at the end of the day, when words are wind. And what exactly have they accomplished since this committee's began? Absolutely nothing. And if it wasn't for the discharge petition, forget it. All right, so that brings us to today's article. This article was published by ABC News and the headline, epstein Got Special Treatment in Jail. Former Guard tells House Oversight Committee. Well, that's weird. She didn't say that in her interview with the OIG inspector, did she? And of course that's why I'm posting her interview with the OIG again. That way we can compare what she said to Congress and what she said to the oig. My guess is the stories aren't going to match up. This article was authored by Peter Charlembeau, James Hill and Lauren Peller. What did they each write? A paragraph of this story. There's like four paragraphs in this story. We need four journalists with a byline here. Must be nice. Fuck. I'm a one man operation. I do everything on my own. I wish I had some help. A former prison guard who was on duty at the Federal Metropolitan Corrections center in New York when convicted Jeffrey Epstein died in 2019, testified Monday that the late sex offender received special treatment at the jail. Two members of the House Oversight Committee said, yeah, how much of that special treatment came from you? Look, I got questions, money deposits, falling asleep, all that linen and Epstein cell and still no good answers for it. Now maybe she gave Congress better answers. We'll have to wait and see. But I'm not holding my breath. Democratic Representative Suhas Submaranium of Virginia and Melanie Stansberry of New Mexico said that Tova Noel testified that Epstein received extra bed linens and a CPAP machine and had access to medications in a way no one else did. So why wasn't his cell tossed? You saw this stuff in there, you knew he wasn't supposed to have it. Why didn't you guys toss his cell? Who gave that command? And see, this is my biggest problem. There's a lot of people out there that are like, well, the files have been released. There's nothing there. Well, how about the names not being redacted when it comes to who is making the decisions? Unlike everybody else, I've moved to a different point. In this case, everybody's still trying to grapple with the heinousness and the draconian nature of what Jeffrey Epstein was doing when it comes to abuse. I've had seven years to grapple with that. And the one thing that I've learned is that we're never going to get these people on those heinous crimes. And the truth is, people don't want to hear that. They want to hear about the salacious crimes. They want to hear about this one and that one and Tom Hanks and Donald Trump. And look, that's all part of the story, but there's so much more going on here. And if you want to talk about systemic corruption, then we have to look at MCC and we have to talk about the people who made these decisions, because it didn't happen in a vacuum. Epstein wasn't put in these circumstances on his own. So who made the decision and why? And the allegations that Epstein was treated differently, those are true. He was. I think that there is plenty of evidence to point that out. A guy in the shoe having a CPAP machine. And let's not forget that that CPAP machine has a cord. Why didn't he just use the cord to kill himself? Why did he need all those linens that still hasn't been explained? I do think that Epstein was treated differently from the other inmates. Representative Submarine said when asked about Noel's testimony, Jeffrey Epstein got special treatment in that facility. Well, somebody should ask Bill Barr about that. And can somebody refresh my memory about who the President was at the time? Oh, that's right. Good old Donnie Diddles. I'm sure he had nothing to do with it. I'm sure it's just all a big coincidence. I mean, come on, it's not like Trump has been unhinged about Epstein. It's not like Trump has been willing to burn all kinds of political capital to keep this stuff quiet. He would never do that. Right, Right. So who was making those decisions at the facility, at the bop, and at the mcc? I don't want to hear anything about a group of people making the decision either. That's why we went through the warden and his OIG statement. We heard his bullshit, too. And breaking news. Nobody's buying it. Subramaniam said he fully believes Epstein died from suicide, but he emphasized there are still open questions about how he was able to do so. And the whitewash begins. Well, look, Jeffrey Epstein, obviously, you know, he killed himself, and there's a lot of evidence to back it up. No, there's not where's the evidence? Let's see it. Missing minutes, a blob linen in the room. Nobody telling the right stories. And everybody having a different story. Nobody telling the truth. But sure, he 100% killed himself. And it just so happens that that alleged note. Suicide note, shows up right before Tova Noel appears before Congress. I guess that's all just a coincidence too, right? Everything's a coincidence. Stop asking questions. It's time to move on. Have you seen the dao? The interview of Noel, believed to be the last person to have seen Epstein before his death, comes amid renewed scrutiny of Epstein's death. Oh, by who? There's no real scrutiny. If there was real scrutiny, we'd be having a real investigation. Every single one of those dudes that was in the shoe that night, bring them up. Every single guard, bring them up. Every single person from the BOP who put their name to paper when it comes to Epstein having, you know, the cell, the whole thing, they need to come up. If it's systemic, then we have to get to the bottom of it, right? Are those people still in decision making roles? Are they still controlling the bop? Yo, I got questions. Epstein died by suicide, according to an autopsy conducted by the New York Medical examiner. Though a series of missteps by prison officials have long fueled conspiracy theories about his death. Just keep in mind that Jeffrey Epstein himself and everything we're talking about was considered a conspiracy theory eight months ago, nine months ago. So always keep that in mind, okay? And remember, the same people who are telling you that are telling you this now, if you choose to believe them, cool. Me personally, I'm gonna need to see the work. I'm like that annoying ass math teacher that needs to see the work. Yeah, that's me. Noel also addressed a series of cash deposits she received between April 2018 and July 2019, totaling $12,000 with one last deposit made prior to Epstein's death. She said that the financial transfers have nothing to do with Epstein. Stansberry said, I think the only maybe new piece of information is that she does feel like her termination was unfair and that it had not been Jeffrey Epstein, she would not have been fired. Lady, you didn't do your rounds. You falsified government information. The level of entitlement with these COs at MCC and the way they all rallied around each other and their union rep showed up. There are not enough fuck yous in the world to give these people no self responsibility. And the cherry on top. Now she's a victim. Oh, I got fired. Oh, the humanity of it all. How dare you fire me. I'm Tova Noel. This lady has some nerve. Grand jury transcripts released from the case against Noel, released by the DOJ earlier this year, show that the FBI examined her bank records and found no evidence of a bribe. Oh, well, in that case, neither Noel nor her lawyer commented on Monday's interview with the House Oversight Panel, Subramnium said that he believed that Noel did commit wrongdoing by failing to carry out her job. She didn't check on Jeffrey Epstein like she should have, and that seemed to be a systemic issue at the facility. He said, no, it's not. How many of these other interviews have we went through where the COs, lieutenants, R D, whatever, said that they never missed a check, they never fell asleep. So don't act like everybody was doing. Happens every night. Of course it doesn't. It just so happens that the night that Jeffrey Epstein dies, all of this occurs. But, sure, I'm gonna believe it. I'm just gonna. You know what? Believe the same people who have lied to me continuously about Jeffrey Epstein and everything else over the years. Noel is alleged to have spent the hours ahead of Epstein's death scrolling the Internet rather than performing the required headcounts of the prisoners in the unit where the disgraced sex offender was housed. Prosecutors in 2019 charged Noel and another prison guard with falsifying records to make it seem as if they did the required checks. And both ended up reaching a deal with prosecutors to have the charges dropped. You know why, right? They didn't want them to testify. The whole idea is to protect the institution. A report on Epstein's death by the Justice Department's inspector general. Oh, that was real fun to read, huh? What a joke. Completed in 2023, determined that video showed at 10:40pm On Aug. 9, a corrections officer believed to be Noel had carried linen or inmate clothing up to the tier containing Epstein's cell. That was the last time any officer approached the tier where Epstein was housed along, according to the IG Report. I'm sure she never gave him any linen, though. Right? Okay, cool. Yeah. I believe that in a sworn interview with the IG in June 2021, Noel said she never gave out linen and denied providing Epstein with the excess linen found in his cell when his body was discovered. Somebody gave it to him. Who was it? If there is a big systemic issue at the jail, then we need to have a big investigation into the bop. I don't think they thought this through, because either way, the bop, the doj, the government comes out looking like. And let's not forget the BOP's budget. They have plenty of money. She also told investigators that she did not remember searching the Internet for Epstein, but she may have read a news article. She said that she believed she was the last person to see Epstein alive at around 10pm on Aug. 9, according to a transcript of her interview with the IG. And that's why I'm posting that interview again, just to reiterate that I think it's important that we understand word for word what these people say. That way we know if they're lying when they come and give their little talk to Congress. And like usual, I'm going to reserve my judgment until we see the whole, you know, deposition. Right. The transcript. But from what we've seen so far, not too confident that the right questions were asked and the right levers were pulled. So we'll see what we see when we get that transcript. And when we get it, I'll add it to the catalog. But until then, that's going to do it for this one. All the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
Host: Bobby Capucci
In this episode, host Bobby Capucci dissects the recent testimony of Tova Noel—one of the prison guards on duty during Jeffrey Epstein’s final hours—before the House Oversight Committee. Capucci critiques congressional handling of the investigation into Epstein’s death at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) and discusses ongoing concerns regarding transparency, accountability, and systemic failure within federal corrections. He draws comparisons with previous high-profile inmates, questions the quality of the committee's oversight, and highlights the wider implications of the “special treatment” Epstein reportedly received.
Bobby Capucci closes by reiterating the need for transparent, unfiltered information—and vows to revisit the subject with more detail when full transcripts from Tova Noel’s hearing become available. He encourages listeners to remain vigilant, question official narratives, and demand real accountability from institutions charged with investigating Epstein’s death.
