Episode Overview

This "Mega Edition" dives into one of the most persistent mysteries surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein saga: the role of Mark Middleton, a key aide to President Bill Clinton, in facilitating Epstein's repeated access to the White House. Host Bobby Capucci meticulously unpacks Middleton's life, his connections with both Epstein and the Clintons, and the suspicious circumstances around Middleton's death—tying it all into the broader pattern of sudden and unexplained deaths among Clinton associates.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Mark Middleton: The Gatekeeper to the White House

• Role and Influence

  • Mark Middleton was a special advisor to President Bill Clinton and the finance director for his presidential campaign in the 1990s.
  • He acted as a "gatekeeper," controlling access to Clinton and wielding extraordinary influence. (03:50)
  • Middleton directly signed Jeffrey Epstein into the White House on at least 7 out of 17 documented visits. (03:43, 25:49)
  • He also flew on Epstein’s private jet, the “Lolita Express,” and was instrumental in giving Epstein entrée to power circles.

• Middleton’s Fall from Grace

  • Accused of using his official position for personal networking and gain — eventually barred from the White House in 1996.
  • Quote: "How corrupt do you have to be to get barred from the damn Bill Clinton White House?" – Bobby Capucci (11:25)
  • After leaving politics, he ran the successful Middleton Heat and Air business in Arkansas and worked with local nonprofits and investment firms.

2. Epstein’s White House Visits and Influence

• Access and Why It Matters

  • Epstein's visits, mostly to the West Wing, provided him leverage he would later use to impress and threaten his victims. (07:30)
  • Middleton served as the "authorizing authority" on visitor logs and arranged meetings in locations intended to impress guests (e.g., near the Oval Office).
  • Quote: "Middleton was trying to make himself look bigger than he was." – Source via Bobby Capucci (12:19)

  • Quote: "The fact that this guy, Bill Clinton, has been able to thumb his nose at the whole entire Epstein investigation… is just unbelievable to me." – Bobby Capucci (02:51)

3. Suspicious Circumstances of Middleton's Death

• Details of the Death

  • Middleton died at 59 at an Arkansas ranch, found hanged from a tree with a shotgun wound to the chest and an extension cord around his neck (19:15, 51:21).
  • Notably, no weapon was found at the scene—a glaring inconsistency in the suicide determination.
  • Quote: "How are you going to shoot yourself and there's no weapon present? Did you turn into a zombie and move the gun?" – Bobby Capucci (19:16)
  • Police and coroner did not initially investigate, and the family later blocked the release of photos and detailed files from the scene, fueling speculation further (38:17).

• Conspiracy and Credibility

  • The episode outlines the "Clinton body count" theory, listing other suspicious deaths among Clinton associates (e.g., Vince Foster, Seth Rich).
  • Capucci maintains an agnostic stance but acknowledges the cumulative coincidence is "one hell of a coincidence." (41:54)
  • Quote: "It sure is an odd coincidence. Middleton, who served as a special assistant to President Bill Clinton in the 1990s, died at the age of 59, his family announced last month." – Bobby Capucci (41:54)

4. Media, Public Distrust, and the Perpetual Curtain of Secrecy

• Critique of Mainstream and Authorities

  • The lack of transparency from both law enforcement and legacy media generates a vacuum filled by conspiracy theories.
  • Quote: "When they're not forthcoming, they're going to leave a lot of space for all kinds of stories to pop in and fill the vacuum." – Co-host (42:57)
  • The persistence of unanswered questions (e.g., missing suicide weapon, non-responsive authorities) stokes public suspicion.
  • Quote: "It's not what we know, it's what we can prove. And that is always the tough part." – Bobby Capucci (37:29)

• Personal Impact and Privacy

  • The Middleton family’s efforts to keep details and images private are debated, with Capucci stressing the importance of empathy for families caught in these public scandals.
  • Quote: "He should be shown a little bit of dignity and not have those pictures of his death released." – Bobby Capucci (54:27)

One of Bill Clinton's number one lieutenants from back in the day, the man who was responsible for pretty much facilitating the relationship between Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein, Mark Middleton has passed away in Arkansas. He was 59 years old, and there has not been any reports of why he passed away or the cause of death. But 59 years old is pretty young to go. I sit around here right now, I'm 42, and I say to myself, man, that's only 17 years. Doesn't seem like that long away. So I'm not too sure as far as cause of death, but this man was a huge part in Epstein getting access to the White House. And as far as Bill Clinton's concerned, he was a huge gatekeeper. Clinton has had several gatekeepers throughout his life and, and Middleton certainly was one of them. Another one, Doug Band. And it's funny, you see all of these people who used to work with the Clintons or with Bill Clinton and it's inevitable that eventually there's a falling out, right? He's never had any of these lap dogs that have stuck around forever. You would think that if Anyone would have been that guy. It would have been Doug Band. But we know that Doug Band even dished on Bill Clinton. So there used to be a time when nobody could pierce the silence wall of the Clinton machine, but that's not the case anymore. You're hearing a lot more people who have worked with them come out and talk about, you know, just how scummy they are in general. And the fact that this guy, Bill Clinton, has been able to thumb his nose at the whole entire Epstein investigation for this whole, entire time is just unbelievable to me. Considering how much he was around Jeffrey Epstein, you would think somebody would want to talk to this guy, that somebody in the American media would be all over it, but I guess not.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

We have to rely on the Daily

[Bobby Capucchi]

Mail, who has done great work here once again, and they continue to do good work talking about Bill Clinton and, you know, putting him on the stage with Jeffrey Epstein, because there surely is

[Co-host or Interviewer]

not enough of that talk.

[Bobby Capucchi]

So on this episode, I figured, why don't we dive in and have a

[Co-host or Interviewer]

bit of a talk about Bill Clinton

[Bobby Capucchi]

and his gatekeeper, Mr. Middleton. This article was published by the Daily Mail. Exclusive. Bill Clinton's special advisor, who let Jeffrey Epstein into the White House seven times and flew on the Lolita Express, dies at 59, the latest associate of the former president to suffer an early demise. Well, that's an ominous statement, huh? I don't know if I'll go as far as some of the other people and, you know, talk about, like, the Clinton body count here, but it is pretty odd that all of these people that are relatively young die around this guy and this lady all the time, though. This article was authored by Daniel Bates, one of Bill Clinton's former special advisors who, who helped cement his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, has died at the age of 59, becoming the latest associate of the former president to die young. Mark Middleton's family said that he passed away on Saturday in a statement which did not reveal the cause of death. The father of two lived in Little Rock, Arkansas, and local law enforcement and the county coroner told DailyMail.com that they were not investigating the death and did not respond to it. Sounds like natural causes. So I don't want to speculate too far in regards to what this man passed away from. You know, he has family out there and friends who loved him and cared about him. Even if he was a gatekeeper, even if he was, you know, hanging out with Epstein, who, you know, I'm not going to sit here and say, oh, he died from this, that or the Other thing we don't know, and we. With everything going on, you know, Covid and the rest of it, quite possible that it was something like that, but who knows? The fact is, and what we do know is that this guy acted as a gatekeeper. He was somebody who opened that door at the White House and let a real life monster in. Not Freddy Krueger, not Jason, not Michael Myers. A real life animal, a real life murderer, a real life killer. And when I say murderer and killer, I don't mean killing people as in taking their lives. I mean murdering and killing dreams, murdering and killing futures. That's what Jeffrey Epstein was, and that was the animal that they let into the White House. The Middleton family did not reply to requests for comment. Middleton had for decades run an air conditioning business in Little Rock, but in the 1990s, he was a special advisor to Clinton and finance director on his presidential campaign. During that time, Middleton admitted Epstein to the Clinton White House on seven of the at least 17 times the late pedophile visited. Middleton also flew on Epstein's plane and appears to have acted as a conduit between the two men. Of course he did. Look, there was always those guys, right? There's always those gatekeepers. When we're talking about men of power, you have a president or a senator or whatever, they have a chief of staff, and that chief of staff's job is to mind the gate. You can come in. You can't come in. Oh, you can get a meeting. You can't get a meeting. And Middleton was that for Bill Clinton for a very long time. They had a falling out. You know, Middleton was accused of some things, but previously to all of that, him and Bill Clinton were very tight and, and he was part of the original Arkansas posse. DailyMail.com has previously reported on how Epstein's access to the Clinton White House gave him entry to a world of influence he would cultivate for the rest of his life and use to impress and threaten underage girls he abused. So when is anyone in the legacy media, anyone over at ABC or Huffington Post or any of these other outlets have anything to say about any of this? How Jeffrey Epstein used his relationship with Bill Clinton to abuse girls. That's not a charged statement, a statement that you would think the legacy media would be all over. But remember what Nancy Pelosi's daughter said, Christine, when all of this started, she said, some of our faves are going to get caught up in this. Well, your faves are caught up in it, Christine.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

Any tweets about it?

[Bobby Capucchi]

Anything to say about it or no. Middleton's death was announced in a Facebook post now deleted for the family's air conditioning company, Middleton Heat and Air, according to a report in Arkansas Business. The company was one of the largest H Vac providers in the state, the post said. The Middleton family is saddened to share that Mark Middleton passed away this weekend. The Middleton family has lost an inspiring and dedicated leader as well as a son, brother, husband and father. Mark leaves behind a company that helped build from the ground up alongside his family and was proud to run for the last 25 years. No words can express our sadness over this loss or our gratitude for your support and prayers during this time. Middleton was also managing partner of the investment firm Mid Corp. Capital, an investment company, and worked for a handful of nonprofit foundations.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

And how do you think he got

[Bobby Capucchi]

all of those jobs, folks? Oh, well, because he used to work in the White House, right? He parlayed all of those White House connections into getting a job at a capital investment company. All of those nonprofs. You know how it works. Little bit of nepotism.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

The only potential hint at at possible

[Bobby Capucchi]

cause was a request in Middleton's obituary that instead of flower well wishers donate to a service that specializes in counseling and therapy linked to the New Life Church, which is based in Arkansas. A spokesman for the Little Rock Police Department said they had not investigated the death. The Pulaski County Sheriff's Office said they had not responded to Middleton's death and neither had the county coroner. According to an employee in the Office reached by DailyMail.com Middleton's life in recent years was a world away from the power he enjoyed and in the 90s. So it looks like to me anyway

[Co-host or Interviewer]

from what we're hearing here that the

[Bobby Capucchi]

authorities didn't investigate this, so it's probably not a homicide or a suicide. My guess is natural causes. But who knows, it could be something else. White House visitor logs previously reported by DailyMail.com showed that he appears as the authorizing authority of on seven of Epstein's White House visits, most of which were to the West Wing. In addition to being special assistant to the president, Middleton was also assistant to the chief of staff, Thomas Mack McLarty. So again, gatekeeper, when you're the chief of staff or you're the person who is holding the keys, you have an extraordinary amount of power about who has access to the president. And none of these guys, Middleton or anyone else, can begin to say that they had nothing to do with letting Epstein in, because they did. They were the gatekeepers Middleton left the White House in February of 1995 and was accused of setting himself up as an international deal maker. Exactly the kind of person that would appeal to Epstein. In 1996, an investigation by the White House found that Middleton had abused his access to impress business clients and was barred from the Executive Mansion without senior approval. Middleton denied the claims. Now think about that for a minute. How corrupt do you have to be to get barred from the damn Bill Clinton White House?

[Co-host or Interviewer]

We're talking about maybe one of the

[Bobby Capucchi]

most corrupt White Houses of all time, and you get barred from it. Yikes. A Source has told DailyMail.com that some of Middleton's meetings with Epstein and happened in room 176, which was in the Old Executive Office Building, not the White House. The source said that Middleton asked for a meeting room next to the White House mess, which was in the West Wing, so he could impress his guests with his proximity to the Oval Office. Look, it's all about power dealing, right? And in essence, it was basically the same thing Epstein was doing when he would have all those pictures on the walls, telling people about all of his contacts and doing the same thing that Middleton was doing, attempting to impress people by showing them his. The source said Mark was trying to make himself look bigger than he was. He was trying to make himself out

[Co-host or Interviewer]

like he had more power than he

[Bobby Capucchi]

really did in the White House. Mark knew that Epstein was managing the money of Les Wexner, referring to the billionaire founder of L Brands and Victoria's Secret. The source went on the year 1994. There were midterm elections. Clinton needed money, and Mark thought he could get some of Wexner's money. Mark wanted to set himself up as the guy who could bring in those kinds of big donors, the source said. And when you're that guy who brings in those big donors, of course you're afforded a lot more privilege, right?

[Co-host or Interviewer]

You're afforded a lot more ability to

[Bobby Capucchi]

have access to the president. And when you have that access, well, that. That a lot of power comes with it.

[Bobby Capucchi]

Following a May 1994 visit by Epstein to the White House, Epstein flew from Washington to Palm Beach, Florida with Middleton on board. The following day, the pair flew from Palm beach to Grand Bahama International Airport in the Bahamas. They returned the same day to Palm Beach.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

I mean, imagine, let's fly down to

[Bobby Capucchi]

the Bahamas and get us some lunch. Mr. Middleton here. Mr. Paid by the American tax dollars and still hanging out with Epstein and facilitating this dude to have access to the President of the United States. Fantastic stuff. Several of Clinton's former associates have died over the years in unexpected circumstances, sparking the conspiracy theory known as the Clinton body count. They include Deputy White House Counsel Vince Foster, whose 1993 death was ruled a suicide but sparked a slew of conspiracy theories about the involvement of the Clintons. After Epstein hanged himself while awaiting trial in 2019, Donald Trump retweeted conspiracy theories that Clinton was involved. Well, yeah, there's people tweeting the other way too, saying Trump was involved.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

Look, whenever we have a case like

[Bobby Capucchi]

this with big time power players, there's going to be people who try and latch on and use it for their own purposes. Whether it be a political cudgel or to go after their political opponents, whatever it may be. But those people, you can rest assured that they really don't care about justice. They just care about manipulating the situation into a weapon for themselves. Others whose deaths have been linked to the Clintons without foundation have been Seth Rich, the Democratic National Committee staffer who was murdered in 2016, and Christopher Sign, the reporter who broke the news of the meeting on the tarmac of Phoenix Airport between Clinton and then Attorney General Loretta Lynch. Sign was found dead in his home in 2021. The Wikipedia page for Clinton body count also includes Victor Razor, Bill Clinton's national finance co chairman, who died alongside his son in a 1992 plane crash Mary Mohan, a White House intern who was gunned down in a Starbucks in 1997 and Jim McDougall, a financial partner of the Clintons who died of a heart attack while in prison in 1998. It also lists Edward Hilley, whose wife Kathleen alleged that Clinton sexually assaulted her. His death was ruled a suicide. Clinton's head of security, Jerry Parks, was gunned down as he left a Mexican restaurant in 1993. Sure are a lot of people gunned down in the world of Bill Clinton, huh? You would almost think that this guy's a mafia bus.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

He has more guys gunned down in

[Bobby Capucchi]

front of him than Paulie Castellano. But all kidding aside, folks, you see the corruption here. You see the real problem.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

The fact that Epstein had access to

[Bobby Capucchi]

the White House at all, the fact that people like Middleton have so much power inside of the White House is a big problem. And the people that are getting access to these politicians simply because they have a large bank account most certainly is a problem. But it's never going to change. You look at the current administration, no different than the last administration. How many bankers are involved? How many financial advisors, how many hedge funders?

[Co-host or Interviewer]

You name it.

[Bobby Capucchi]

It's always the same story. And people like Middleton will continue to have a huge place in playing dealmaker.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

What's up, everyone? And welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. If you remember, back in May, we were talking about a gentleman named Mark Middleton, and this gentleman was one of Bill Clinton's aides and one of the

[Bobby Capucchi]

gatekeepers to Bill Clinton's White House.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

Well, we found out that it was Mark Middleton who was the man who signed Jeffrey Epstein into the White House

[Bobby Capucchi]

several times during this time period.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

Then we come to find out that Mark Middleton, like many of the people who have been associated with the Clintons, ends up committing suicide. Well, at the time, it certainly sounded like just a regular old run of the mill suicide.

[Bobby Capucchi]

Right.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

I'm not one of these people that dives in with both feet every time something goes wrong in the Jeffrey Epstein case or someone dies and thinks it's this gigantic conspiracy theory. But there are so many quote unquote coincidences found at every level of this case, as at some point you have to ask yourself, are there really that many coincidences surrounding this investigation, or is there something else going on behind the scenes that a lot of people just aren't hip to? And for me, I'm at the point where there's no way that all of this is coincidence. The difficult part is diving in and picking all of it apart and, and figuring out what's true and what is just background noise. So today we're going to talk about one of those coincidences, and that happens to be the death of Mark Middleton. So let's dive into this article from the Daily Mail and let's see what they've uncovered in their investigation. Headline, Arkansas Cops Rule Suicide and death of Clinton aide linked to Jeffrey Epstein who was found shot and tied to a tree with an electrical cord around his neck despite no sign of a weapon. Now, how are you going to shoot yourself and there's no weapon present? Did you turn into a zombie and move the gun? Did the gun grow legs and walk away? I really need an explanation for that. This article was authored by Daniel Bates. The grisly scene where a top Bill Clinton adviser was found hanged from a tree with a gunshot wound to his chest has finally been revealed nine months after he died. But the sheriff's report into Mark Middleton's mysterious death raises more questions than answers, as it rules he died by suicide despite no sign of the weapon that killed him. And I just can't get over that part. If there's a gunshot wound to his chest, where did the gun go? Middleton, 59, was found dead last May at the Heifer Ranch in Perryville, Arkansas, an hour west of Little Rock. Release of the report was held up after members of his family petitioned a judge. They were worried that pictures from the gory scene would be made public. And at the time, I said, I agree with that. I, I wouldn't want the pictures of my loved one all over the Internet, especially if we thought it was a suicide. Right? You don't want all of these looky loos staring at your loved one. So I understood that. The judge eventually ruled that details could be released, but photographs could not. And I think that's the proper way to go about it. Details are one thing. Photographs are a completely different matter. The report written by Perry County Sheriff's Deputy Jeremy Lawson, says he was called to the ranch by worker Samantha McElroy, who had found Middleton's abandoned black BMW SUV. McElroy, 46, then walked around the cottage on the ranch. Almost immediately after stepping around the corner of the cottage, she started yelling, wrote Lawson upon reaching the back of the cottage. And she pointed towards the rear of the property and asked if that was a person. I could see what a fir, what at first appeared to be a man sitting near a tree. As my eyes focused better, I could see a rope of some type going from the tree limb to the male. Lawson said it was clear that Middleton was dead. I could see that he had a gunshot wound to the chest and that he had a knot tied in an extension cord that was around his neck and it was attached to the limb directly above him. The deputy said a search of Middleton's vehicle turned up three boxes of buckshot and a gun case, but no weapon. The details give fresh insight into the death of Middleton, a married father of two daughters, aged 18 and 20, who was found dead on May 7 of last year. And even at the time, it was certainly suspicious that this man was found in the condition he was found in. But we needed more context at the time to really come to a conclusion one way or the other. But now getting this report, it's rather obvious that this is a bit fishy. And here's where it gets real interesting. Middleton was a special advisor to Bill Clinton in the 1990s and signed Jeffrey Epstein into the White House on seven of the 17 times the late pedophile visited. Now, look, how in the world is there not more outrage out there over the fact that Jeffrey Epstein was at the White house at least 17 times? That's not conspiracy theory, that's not rumor, that is fact. So why isn't there a big outrage about that alone? Bill Clinton continues to get a pass when it comes to his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein. And, and I don't understand why you would think that the media, the legacy media, would want to get to the bottom of that relationship, right? What are they scared that they're going to unearth if they go hard on their boy? Bill Clinton. Middleton also flew on Epstein's jet, nicknamed the Lolita Express. But more recently, he had been working for his family's HVAC business in Little Rock. So the question is, how did Jeffrey Epstein meet Mark Middleton? What was his relationship with Mark Middleton? Or was it something that was facilitated by Bill Clinton, meaning him setting it up so that Epstein would go through Middleton to get to him so he could have some plausible deniability down the road? The police report was released to DailyMail.com by the Perry County Sheriff's Office. According to the Arkansas Times, Middleton's family

[Bobby Capucchi]

said he was suffering from depression.

So we have to take that into account. Right? If somebody's depressed, things can go south real quick. And you see a lot of people who are suffering from especially severe depression that end up killing themselves. So it's certainly something that has to be kept in mind. But there are other details here that just don't make sense. If somebody shoots himself in the chest, right, that gun is gonna be very close to them after they're done doing the deed. So where did the gun go? Did somebody steal it? Did somebody pick it up? If so, who was that somebody and what were they doing there at the time this man was killing himself? Middleton's life in recent years was a world away from the power he enjoyed in the 1990s. White House visitor logs previously reported by DailyMail.com show that he appears as the authorizing signatory on seven of Epstein's White House visits, most of which were to the West Wing. In addition to being a special assistant to the President, Middleton was also assistant to the Chief of staff, Thomas Mack McLarty. So Mac McLarty needs to be looked at as well. How did he know Jeffrey Epstein? See, the question is, how did Jeffrey Epstein get this access? And why was Jeffrey Epstein given this special access not only to the White House, but to the President himself? And that President at the time was Bill Clinton. Is anybody ever going to ask Bill Clinton directly about this? Or are we just going to refer back to what his numb nut press secretary had to say about Bill Clinton and his denials, which several, by the way, have been proven demonstrably false in court. Middleton left the White House in February of 1995 and was accused of setting himself up as an international deal maker. Exactly the kind of person that would appeal to Epstein 100%. Jeffrey Epstein loved guys like this, middlemen, people that could help him on his social climb. Up that ladder. Oh, yeah, he's definitely stepping on your back to get onto the next rung of that ladder. But believe that Daily Mail also got a copy of the incident report, so let's just read through that real quick. Perry County Sheriff's Department, incident number 22 244.

[Lapsed Fan Podcast Host]

Boss, what's the most dreaded question that you can get when you tell people you host a podcast called the Lapsed Fan? It's what is it about? And why is that, do you think? Because to like pro wrestling is to lose the respect of others. Now what if we told you there's a podcast that explains exactly why that is and why it's kind of deserved? For over a decade, we've taken fact finding missions through the thicket of half truths that is wrestling history. We watch old matches, call out carnies, laugh at our own jokes, and have so much fun doing it that some people actually can't handle it. Think wrestling is an escape from real life? Think again. Same power games, same office politics, same people lying to your face. Just with entrance music and absolutely no company health insurance under any circumstances. All I offer is opportunity, not benefits. As do we, Vince. The Lapsed Fan Podcast Come for the wrestling history. Stay for the Uncomfortable truth about why it used to be better and why you still care.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

On May 5, 2022, at approximately 1:00pm I responded to the Heifer Ranch for an abandoned vehicle. Upon my arrival I met with Samantha McElroy who called dispatch. While looking at the vehicle, Samantha requested that I make contact with dispatch to call for a wrecker as she was unfamiliar with any towing companies in the area. Deputy Brewer arrived on scene and shortly after Blessed Towing arrived as well. I turned over the vehicle to Blessed for removal. While attempting to locate a pull point for the vehicle, Samantha stated that she was going to walk around the cottage that the vehicle was parked in front of. Almost immediately after stepping around the corner of the cottage, she started yelling asking for myself and Deputy Brewer to come with her. Upon reaching her in the back of the cottage, she pointed towards the rear of the property and asked if that was a person. I could see what at first appeared to be a man sitting near a tree. As my eyes focused better, I could see a rope of some type going from the limb to the male. Deputy Brewer and I walked out to where the male was seated. As we were approaching him, I could see the male was obviously deceased. I could see that he had a gunshot wound to his chest and that a knot tied in an extension cord that was around his neck and it was attached to the limb directly above him. At this point I secured the scene

[Bobby Capucchi]

and made contact with Dispatch, Sergeant Carter,

[Co-host or Interviewer]

Chief Deputy Finley, Sheriff Montgomery and Coroner Bill Greene. Upon Chief Deputy Finley's arrival, I. I turned the scene over to him. Returning to the vehicle, I began an inventory search and upon searching the vehicle I was able to locate the purchase agreement that had Mark E. Middleton's name on it. There were a few other items located in the vehicle. I opened the trunk lid and located a gun case that had three boxes of 12 gauge buckshot but no weapon. I was able to ascertain that Mark Middleton had something to do with with Middleton.

[Bobby Capucchi]

Heat and Air.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

Heat and Air. I called the company trying to find a good phone number for him but was unsuccessful. After CID and the coroner finished the scene, we allowed Bless Towing to leave with the vehicle and I went back into service. So as you can see, not that extensive of a report, right? Shows up, takes a look. Alright, guess it's a suicide. But where's the gun? No questions to be asked. We're talking about somebody that had a high profile job at one point. Did he make any enemies? These are just some basic questions that you would think that the investigators would be asking and maybe they were behind the scenes. But according to this incident report, that's not the case. In 1996, an investigation by the White House found that Middleton had abused his access to impress business clients and was barred from the Executive Mansion without senior approval. Middleton denied the claims. Now the cynic in me says, did the Clinton White House do that so they had cover once everything went south? If Middleton ever started talking or it ever got revealed who was visiting Bill Clinton, they could just blame it all on Middleton. A number of Clinton's former associates have died over the years in unexpected circumstances, including Deputy White House Counsel Vince Foster in 1990. His 1993 death was ruled a suicide, but sparked a slew of conspiracy theories about the involvement of the Clintons. After Epstein hanged himself while awaiting trial in 2019, Donald Trump retweeted conspiracy theories that the Clintons were involved. Others whose death have been linked to the Clintons without foundation have been Seth Rich, the Democratic National Committee staffer who was murdered in 2016 with no culprit having been found, DailyMail.com has reached out to the spokeswoman for the Middleton family. Well, some of those new facts certainly change my perspective about what happened here or what might have happened here. So we'll keep our eye on this one as well and will continue to collect the facts and. And try and provide as much context as possible, because until we get an explanation about the location of the alleged suicide weapon, I'm going to continue to have these questions. Guns don't get up and walk away. And the report clearly states that they did not find the weapon. So where is it? All right, folks, that's going to do it for this one. All of the information that goes with the episode can. Can be found in the description box.

[Bobby Capucchi]

What's up, everyone? And welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. Recently, we were talking about Mark Middleton, who was one of Bill Clinton's top aids and basically one of the keepers of the castle. So if you wanted to get in to see Bill Clinton in the old days, the 90s, when Bill Clinton was the president coming up before them, you had to run the gauntlet, basically, right?

[Co-host or Interviewer]

You had to find somebody who had access, then you had to get access

[Bobby Capucchi]

through that person, etc. Etc. And Middleton certainly was one of those gatekeepers. In fact, he was the man that

[Co-host or Interviewer]

had Jeffrey Epstein at the White House,

[Bobby Capucchi]

according to the documentation that we have seen.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

So this is a guy who had

[Bobby Capucchi]

a lot of power within the White House structure itself. Now, that power was taken away from him after a falling out with Bill Clinton. And the administration over him allegedly using his position to enrich himself. Well, he was found dead recently, as you all know, and it was declared that it was a suicide. Now, according to the Daily Mail, the family has blocked the release of the files detailing the death scene. You could take that for what it's worth, and I guess you could run with it a million different ways. It could be the family not wanting to have these sorts of pictures out there, this information out there, perhaps. Or if you want to go the other route, you could say, well, who's trying to keep this stuff from reaching the public light? Let's dive into this article and let's see what's up. Headline, Family of Bill Clinton adviser who admitted Jeffrey Epstein into White House seven times has blocked release of files detailing the death scene after he was found hanging from a tree with a shotgun blast at a ranch 30 miles from his home. Now, it's pretty easy to make some leaps, right? We all know about the Clintons and their history, all the people around them that have died. A lot of people who were very close to the Clintons at one time

[Co-host or Interviewer]

have ended up dead.

[Bobby Capucchi]

And there's those out there that say, you know, that's the Clinton suicide list. Me, myself, again, very agnostic to all of it. Unless I see evidence that leads me one way or the other, I just, you know, process it, store it for later on and see what comes of it. Because that Clinton rabbit hole is real deep. And if you start diving into that rabbit hole, who the hell knows where you'll end up. And remember, folks, it's not what we know, it's what we can prove. Right? And that is always the tough part. Proving the accusations that are made or the accusations that are leveled at the Clintons around all of these suicides. This off. This article was authored by Ben Ashford and Daniel Bates, the family of a top advisor to Bill Clinton who admitted Jeffrey Epstein into the White House multiple times during his presidency, is pulling out

[Co-host or Interviewer]

all the stops to keep the details

[Bobby Capucchi]

of his mysterious death from becoming public.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

And look right off the bat,

[Bobby Capucchi]

that leads people to believe that there's something smarmy going on. But you gotta remember, playing devil's advocate. It could just be the family wanting some privacy, thinking that, you know, the video, the photos getting out there of his death or his autopsy or whatever, they don't want to deal with that, so they're trying to keep it as private as possible. Now, again, I don't know what's going on here, folks. I try to look at both sides and play the devil's advocate as much as I can because I'm real careful of following my biases.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

The things that I want to be

[Bobby Capucchi]

true, I am the most critical of.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

So when we hear about, you know,

[Bobby Capucchi]

suicides around the Clintons or other high

[Co-host or Interviewer]

profile accusations, there has to be a

[Bobby Capucchi]

lot of proof that comes along with that, right? They have petitioned a judge to prevent pictures of Mark Middleton's death scene being released under the Freedom of Information Act. And now the local Arkansas sheriff is interpreting that to mean that he can't talk or release any details of Middleton's May 7 suicide. So certainly looks like it could be interpreted here as a cover up. There's going to be people who are going to dive right down that hole right away.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

And you know what? I wouldn't blame them.

[Bobby Capucchi]

How can you blame people for being distrustful of the institutions at this point? So a lot of like conspiracy theories, or what people call conspiracy theories that

[Co-host or Interviewer]

pop up in the wake of having

[Bobby Capucchi]

real information can be directly traced back to the authorities for not being honest with people. So when they don't have any information about things, people start filling in the gaps with circle circumstantial evidence as best they can. That's just human nature.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

Then you'll have all of these outlets

[Bobby Capucchi]

running around talking about this one's a conspiracy theorist, that one's a conspiracy theorist. Meanwhile, they've been lying to the people about Jeffrey Epstein for decades. So why should anyone believe the legacy media? And at this point, the investigation is still open. I can't say anything more. Perry County Sheriff Scott Montgomery told DailyMail.com well, that's interesting. The case is still open. So was it not a suicide?

[Co-host or Interviewer]

Again, you see, this is all the

[Bobby Capucchi]

gray area that they create and it gives space for people to, you know, run with it and come up with what they think happened. And they're not really wrong for doing that, honestly, because you're never going to get the, the full story out of the authorities, not this day and age. They feel like they don't have to tell us anything. And just look at the way they're trying to curb information in, in Uvalde, how they're not cooperating with the investigation. And look, they play their games as well, right?

[Co-host or Interviewer]

And when you're talking about the authorities

[Bobby Capucchi]

who are engaging in an open investigation,

[Co-host or Interviewer]

they will use the fact that it's

[Bobby Capucchi]

an open investigation to keep you from getting any information that is not public.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

Already we've seen it with Jeffrey Epstein's

[Bobby Capucchi]

death, how many people have tried to get information about that, but have been stonewalled. Oh, we have an ongoing investigation. Oh, this is an investigation that's still being pursued. So we can't give you any evidence. I mean, we can't give you the information you're requesting. The whole usual runaround.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

Right.

[Bobby Capucchi]

And it's no different in cases like this around Bill Clinton and the people who die around him. One hell of a coincidence. Look, I'm gonna say it is one hell of a coincidence that all of these people that have been close to Bill Clinton have turned up dead. Now, does that mean that the Clinton machine is responsible for all of it? Absolutely not. But it sure is an odd coincidence. Middleton, who served as a special assistant to President Bill Clinton in the 1990s, died at the age of 59, his family announced last month. And remember, when we're talking about suicide, it's not like suicide is something that's rare. A lot of people do it. And maybe Mr. Middleton had some stuff going on in his life that, you know, nobody knows about that isn't public that drove him to make this decision to kill himself. And maybe not. Maybe it was something else, something much more devious. But the point I'm trying to make is the police and the authorities, when they're not forthcoming, well, they're going to

[Co-host or Interviewer]

leave a lot of space for all

[Bobby Capucchi]

kinds of stories to pop in and fill the vacuum.

His death adds to the number of close associates of the former President and First lady who have died unexpectedly, many in small plane crashes. The phenomenon has led to a conspiracy theory called Clinton Body Count, which even has its own Wikipedia page. Like I said, people go real deep with this stuff and people are very distrustful, especially of power brokers like the Clintons. How can you not be distrustful of them? I honestly don't know how anyone could sit there and act like the Clintons aren't as dirty as the day is long, as if Bill Clinton doesn't have some answering to do for his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. I've been told directly by a survivor that it was the enabling of Bill Clinton and his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein that made them comfortable being around them.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

So, you know, the whole Bill Clinton

[Bobby Capucchi]

and Jeffrey Epstein relationship, that's one that still needs to be completely explored and dissected. But the legacy media, they just don't have the chops for it. Instead, they'd rather get into Twitter fights with each other and absolutely explode in real time like you're seeing at the Washington Post over a retweet. I mean, these people need to get it together.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

But what do you expect?

[Bobby Capucchi]

You look at all of these reporters

[Co-host or Interviewer]

for the most part that work at

[Bobby Capucchi]

these outlets, all of them are trust fund babies. Oh, this one went to boarding school in Switzerland. Oh, this one's so and so's son. Oh, this one went to Harvard and this one went to Yale. What do they know about the struggle? What do they know about hand to mouth?

[Co-host or Interviewer]

And what do they know about really

[Bobby Capucchi]

pursuing people like Bill Clinton? They don't have the chops for it. Those days of hard charging journalists are long over. All these journalists getting up there, all these people getting up there yapping about the Epstein case recently. Oh, let me see the client list. You've already heard seven names from Virginia and none of you have done about it. Now all of a sudden you're so interested and you're keen on blowing the doors off the case. You want the client list? Well, let's start with the names you already have. Let's see some progress there. Middleton's family did not disclose the cause of death at the at the time, but authorities later confirmed the former White House official took his own life with a self inflicted gunshot at an urban farm in Perryville, Arkansas. In a lawsuit filed on May 23, the family admits Middleton committed suicide and says they have a privacy interest in preventing any photographs, videos, sketches, or illustrative content from the death scene being released. They claim it would lead to outlandish, hurtful, unsupported and offensive articles being published by online. And this is what I lean towards, right? The family not trying to be secretive here, but they don't want to have these pictures become part of the conversation. If it was my dad, I'd feel the same. I see. I feel the same way, honestly. But when you have the Clintons involved and all of this distrust, people are going to take it as, did somebody get to the family? Is somebody telling them they shouldn't release these pictures? That's what people are going to say and what people are going to think. They argue that keeping the footage and files sealed will halt the proliferation of unsubstantiated conspiracy theories. A judge is due to hear the case. On June 14, after the petition was filed, Perry County Sheriff Scott Montgomery denied daily mails DailyMail.com's Freedom of Information request for any of his paperwork on the case, which would include the police report and written files, even though they do not contain any graphic images. See, they should release that. The images are one thing, and if

[Co-host or Interviewer]

I was a judge, I would probably

[Bobby Capucchi]

side with the family and not release those images.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

You got to have a little bit

[Bobby Capucchi]

of respect for people in death even, right? I mean, come on. But as far as the. The documentation, the transcripts, and you better

[Co-host or Interviewer]

hand those over right now.

[Bobby Capucchi]

I could just see the sheriff right now chewing on like a piece of hay with that 10 gallon hat on one of those big buckles, spitting some, you know, some of that chew that they like to chew out onto the street there as he's talking to you. Yeah, you're not getting any of these files, young man. The banjo playing in the background and shit. Last year, DailyMail.com exclusive exclusively revealed Middleton was among the Clinton advisers in AIDS who had let Epstein into the White House during the former president's first few years in office. The late pedophile made at least 17 trips to the White House between 1993 and 1995, seven of which were authorized by Middleton. The Clinton aide was also one of the many passengers to fly on Epstein's jet, known as the Lolita Express. Middleton's family last month confirmed he passed away on March 7 in a statement which did not reveal the cause of death. And then it was found out later,

[Co-host or Interviewer]

obviously that it was suicide that was

[Bobby Capucchi]

the cause of death. And we got all of the gory details as far as you know what he used different tools, the implements that were used, the cord from the dollar store, the shotgun and the rest of. Has since been confirmed that the former advisor who lived in Little Rock, Arkansas, took his own life at the Heifer ranch in Perryville. On owned by an anti poverty Nonprofit called Heifer International, 30 miles away from his home. Now that's interesting. I said it before. Why would he go to this ranch specifically to kill himself? Is there any significance with this ranch? Did he have any business with this ranch? Were there, you know, business problems?

[Co-host or Interviewer]

Maybe.

[Bobby Capucchi]

Who knows? Again, I have no idea. Just asking some questions.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

Chris Cox, Heifer.

[Bobby Capucchi]

A spokesman for Heifer International said the ranch workers found Middleton's car and in the parking lot and notified the sheriff. The body was found shortly afterwards. Heifer told DailyMail.com he wasn't invited to the property and staff became aware that

[Co-host or Interviewer]

he was there without authorization.

[Bobby Capucchi]

We have not found any connection to Heifer. The ranch is well known in the area and it's possible that he could have attended something here, but we couldn't find any major links. Well, there's that. He doesn't have any business with the ranch, so what's the significance? Why here? The ranch hosts school groups for things like lambing. So he could have attended one of those. It's a very unfortunate incident. Yo, what the hell is lamming? We don't do any lambing here in Las Vegas. So can somebody shoot me some email and let your boy know what lambing is, please?

[Co-host or Interviewer]

In an interview with Radar Online, before

[Bobby Capucchi]

he decided to clam up, Sheriff Montgomery said Middleton was discovered hanging from a tree with a shotgun blast to his chest. So you hang yourself and shoot yourself in the chest, huh? Hmm. Interesting. He reportedly used an extension cord as a noose and created a makeshift gallows underneath the tree, which appeared to be there as a fail safe in case the shotgun blast didn't kill him. That's a pretty brutal way to go. So I'm gonna shoot myself in the

[Co-host or Interviewer]

chest and then if I don't die,

[Bobby Capucchi]

I'll die from hanging instead. See, I would never even try that. My luck, I'd end up crippled, not able to move anything but my eyes, the whole thing.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

So I don't even understand.

[Bobby Capucchi]

You know, people say suicide's a coward's way out. I. I disagree.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

I think you have to have some

[Bobby Capucchi]

sort of mental courage break to engage in something like suicide. It is just. I don't know, it's. You really got to be going through it man, and I feel real bad for people who feel like they have no other options but to commit suicide. I don't think I could do it. I don't have the courage for it. Folks, I'll be honest with.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

The married father of two who ran

[Bobby Capucchi]

an air conditioning business, did not leave a note, though he told his family he was depressed. Montgomery said, I don't know the man and I don't know why he picked our county or picked that location to commit suicide. To our knowledge, he had never been there before and we have no record of him being there before. Come on, 30 miles from his home and he's never been there before? I call BS on that one, Mr. Sheriff.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

He died from a self inflicted shotgun

[Bobby Capucchi]

wound to the chest. He found a tree and he pulled

[Co-host or Interviewer]

a table over there.

[Bobby Capucchi]

He got on that table and he took an extension cord and put it around the limb, put it around his neck, and he shot himself in the chest with a shotgun.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

It was very evident that the shotgun

[Bobby Capucchi]

worked because there was not a lot of blood or anything on the scene. You can tell the shotgun blast was on his chest and you could tell that because there was a hole in the chest and, and pellets came out the back of his back. It was definitely self inflicted, in our opinion.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

Okay, I guess.

[Bobby Capucchi]

I mean, look, I'm certainly no expert and I don't know anything about crime scenes. I've already told you folks, I don't even watch shows like csi, so. But for me, it seems kind of crazy to put a shotgun to your chest and pull the trigger. If you really want to handle business, shouldn't you just put it in your mouth and do it?

[Co-host or Interviewer]

That way you don't have to have a fail safe, I would think.

[Bobby Capucchi]

And according to the investigators here, it's a. It's their opinion that this was self inflicted. So we'll see what comes of it.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

The injunction was filed two weeks after

[Bobby Capucchi]

Middleton's death at the circuit court of Perry county by Rhea Middleton and Larry Middleton, Middleton's widow and father.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

It states that they have a privacy

[Bobby Capucchi]

interest in photographs, videos, sketches and other illustrative content depicting Mark Middleton's body or scene of Mr. Middleton's death in the possession of the Perry county sheriff and the county coroner. Again, I would not want my family's pictures out there either. This has to be a gruesome ass scene. Imagine the indignity of your loved one being found.

[Co-host or Interviewer]

As such,

[Bobby Capucchi]

The lawsuit states, Since Mr. Middleton's death, Mr. Middleton's family has been harassed by outlandish hurtful unsupported, and offensive online articles regarding Mr. Middleton, his death, and his family. These articles are scurrilous, baseless, and malicious. Publishing images of Middleton's body would cause the family irreparable harm, they claim. I agree with that man. Look, the pictures are a step too far. The other information that should be released, transcripts and the rest of it, it's a case with public interest, and the public interest supersedes any kind of privacy. When we're talking about just transcripts here. Pictures, whole different story. This lawsuit seeks a declaration that any media content depicting Mr. Middleton's body or scene of Mr. Middleton's death should not be disclosed under the Freedom of Information act, the documents state. In an affidavit, Larry Middleton states that the reports about his son's death have been unsubstantiated conspiracy theories which have caused unimaginable pain to myself and my family. And that's something people should take into account. Just because this guy was connected to Bill Clinton for all of those years, you know, his family does deserve a little bit of privacy. And as far as the pictures go, at least in my opinion, remember, just my opinion, he should be shown a little bit of dignity and not have those pictures of his death released. And if the family has to, you know, try and make moves to prevent the Freedom of Information act and those pictures being released, it's certainly something I can understand when it comes to just the pictures, I want to be clear about that. He claims to have extreme fear and anxiety at the prospect of further details being made public. Larry Middleton writes, once disclosed, my family will face inconceivable amounts of harassment, threats, and pain from the inquiry and use of such content. The Middletons did not respond to DailyMail.com requests for comment. Documents from Middleton's probate file shows that he had $200,000 in assets, including $100,000 worth of property. Man, you would think that somebody who worked with Clinton for so long would have a little bit more squirreled away, but, you know, times are tough for everybody, and I don't, you know, I don't know what this guy was up to or what sort of life he was living, so I won't make any comment there. The lawsuit confirms that Middleton died by suicide, something that was not mentioned in the announcement of his death in a Facebook post now deleted for the family's air conditioning company, Middleton Heat and Air. Well, that's because I'm sure the post was absolutely bum rushed by people who think that they're funny, right?

[Co-host or Interviewer]

Who think, oh yeah, I'll go make

[Bobby Capucchi]

some comments on this post or talk about these people. But the reality is they're not moving the ball forward, right? They're just being student. I really don't have time for it. The people on the Internet that sit there and argue and fight with each other and act like assholes, I don't have any time for that shit. The statement described him as an inspiring and dedicated leader, as well as a son, brother, husband and father. The only potential hint at the cause of death was a request in Middleton's obituary asking for well wishers to donate to services that specialize in counseling and therapy linked to the New Life Church in Arkansas in lieu of flowers. Middleton's life in recent years was a world away from his political circles when he ran in them during the 1990s. White House visitor logs previously reported by DailyMail.com showed that he appears as the authorizing official on seven of Epstein's White House visits, most of which were to the West Wing. My guess is he made a couple of bucks one way or the other here, admitting Epstein.

And again, there were a lot of

gatekeepers, but Middleton certainly was one of them. And anyone letting Epstein into the White House seven times is somebody that's going to be in the conversation when we're talking about what went down. In addition to being special assistant to the President, Middleton was also assistant to the Chief of Staff, Thomas F. Mack McLarty. Now the chief of Staff is the gatekeeper.

The number one guy who has access

[Bobby Capucchi]

to the President is the Chief of Staff. Without accessing the Chief of Staff, you're never going to access the President. And as his assistant, like Middleton was, well, you can imagine the great power Middleton was wielding as well. Middleton left the White House in February of 1995 and was accused of setting himself up as an international dealmaker, exactly the kind of person that would appeal to Epstein. In 1996, an investigation by the White House found that Middleton had abused his access to impress business clients, and he was barred from the Executive Mansion without senior approval. Middleton denied the claims. So this guy was up to all kinds of backroom dealing, bringing all kinds of people to the White House, making a few bucks here, making a few bucks there, creating relationships. And it went so far that even the corrupt ass Clinton White House was like, bro, you're even too corrupt for us. You don't have access to the main house anymore. You're punished. Several Clinton former associates have died over the years in unexpected circumstances, including Deputy White House Counsel Vince Foster. His 1993 death was ruled a suicide, but sparked a slew of conspiracy theories about the involvement of the Clintons. I'm not going to rehash all of that. Everyone's familiar with that line of thinking and with all of the people who supposedly were associated with the Clintons when they ended up committing suicide.

After Epstein hanged himself while awaiting trial, allegedly in 2019, the Donald Trump retweeted conspiracy theories that the Clinton that Clinton was involved. I mean, talk about pot calling the kettle black, huh? Breaking news. All of you scumbags that were hanging out with Epstein, you're all pieces of garbage in my book. Many others with links to Bill and Hillary Clinton have died in mysterious circumstances over the years. Wikipedia even has a page called Clinton Body Count, which lists those people. Others whose death have been linked to the Clintons without foundation have been Seth Rich, the Democratic National Committee staffer who was murdered in 2016 with no culprit having been found. Now that Seth Rich murder. That shit smacks of something way, way worse than we've ever been told. I'm not going to go too deep here. At the end of the podcast of this episode on the Seth rich situation, but that always seemed something that was very, very off to me.
