What's up everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. At every turn you have people out here trying to bend themselves into a pretzel defending the DOJ and the that they're up to when it comes to the Epstein files. Well, this one that we're going to talk about today is a doozy because Representative Luna is now blaming Judge Engelmeier for the files not being released. Imagine having the audacity to blame the judge and get up there with a straight face and yell and scream talking about impeachment. Here's an idea, Ms. Luna. Why don't you tell the DOJ to release everything in their possession that has to do with the npa? They don't need a judge to do that. They don't need anyone to do that. They just need to have the willpower to do so. And there's the problem, right? They have no desire to release the NPA information. They have no desire to let you know that the DOJ itself was the one that gave Epstein the protection. And that's why I've been so meticulous going through all of those emails and all of the court documents surrounding the npa. Because it's one of the most important issues that needs to be addressed. And if the DOJ really meant business, if they really cared, they would step up and they'd make sure that the American people knew the score. But the problem with that is they'd have to admit that they were in the wrong and they protected Epstein for all those years and that's something they just refused to do. And when you have people out here like Representative Luna pushing a bunch of nonsense, it doesn't advance the conversation, does it? It just makes it more of a partisan issue and it makes people want to retreat to their bunker and not give a. Ah, this is all politically motivated. I don't care. This is a hoax. And when you have people like Luna saying what she's saying, it really just adds on to that because there's people out there that believe everything these people say, which is wild. But there are people out there that actually believe Luna when she's telling them things. And the fact that she's out here blaming the judge is wild as hell. Today's article is from Newsmax and the headline Representative Luna to Newsmax. Impeach Judge Impeding Epstein Files. Nothing about Pam Bondi, nothing about the doj, nothing about Todd Blanche, nothing about Ghislaine Maxwell getting moved. None of that. But let's impeach the judge. Sure you're not playing politics. This article was authored by Sam Barron. Representative Anna Paulina Luna told Newsmax on Wednesday she wants the judge overseeing the release of of the Jeffrey Epstein files to be impeached. Boy, they like that word impeach, huh? I wonder if they're gonna like that word in a few months. Luna told Rob Schmidt tonight that Paul Engelmeyer, an Obama appointed judge in the Southern District of New York, is the one slow walking the release of the files pertaining to convicted sex offender Epstein, not the Trump administration. Holy cow. Really? Are you for real with that? Anna Paulina Luna? This lady wants to be an influencer so bad that it's not even funny. She was supposed to be in charge of this whole truth commission or whatever the they cooked up about jfk, Martin Luther King, Jeffrey Epstein, aliens. And now she's out here carrying water for the doj. Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. Imagine trying to blame the judge. What happened to all those files that were already in Pam Bondi's possession? What happened? All the files from Florida. And most importantly, what about the documents that are already in possession of the DoJ, such as the MPA? What about the missing Acosta emails? What about the fact that the whole entire OIG investigation was nothing more than a whitewash? How about we talk about that? Representative Luna it's literally this activist judge, an Obama era appointed judge who a Democrat that authorized or that made the order to actually do a second scan of the documents, Luna said. You mean after they put survivors names in the documents released? Is that what you're talking about? God forbid the DOJ does the right thing and they're still putting names in the files. But she can't be bothered with that, right? She can't be bothered with accountability on her own side. You know, folks, this Luna lady, she's basically the same as Robert Garcia doing the same. And it's disgusting and it needs to be called out. And if that hurts the feelings of any of these little demagogues out there, I do not care. I don't care about your little pedantic political fights. I don't care about your little arguments about this, that or the other thing. I care about the fact that I'm being ruled by a bunch of heartless, disgusting monsters that either A, were involved with the abuse, B, and enabled the abuse, or C, are now covering it up. That's what I'm worried about. Save all the other for somebody else. But when you have someone that's potentially stonewalling this intentionally to try and make it look like there's an issue with the delay in the release of the files, this is obstruction of an investigation, Luna added. Is she for real? What does she know about obstruction? What does she know about this investigation? She's been Busy running around D.C. filming shorts to put on tick tock. What does she know about even governing for the people? Nothing. This lady's just another empty vessel, just another person that's up there spitting party lines, spitting rhetoric and hoping that it lands. But the truth is, the people that are really delaying this, the people that are really obfuscating, none other than the DOJ that Luna is so gallantly protecting here. I mean, she came riding in on her horse, wearing some white armor, talking about, oh, the doj, they're doing the right thing. They're the good guys. Sorry, Luna, they're not the good guys and neither are you. Luna said Engelmeier needs to be held accountable and she plans to introduce a resolution to impeach him. I don't think that they should be in office, Luna said. I definitely don't think this is about the victims. Oh, yeah, that's what you're concerned with, right? Did you sign off on that petition? How many survivors have you called into your office? How many have you sat down with? How many of them are from Florida? Like, is this lady for real? Everything she's talking about is easily disputed, and all the allegations she's made can be pointed directly back at her people. On Wednesday, Engelmeier blocked Representative Ro Khanna Thomas Massie from intervening in in the sex trafficking case of Glenn Maxwell Epstein's longtime confidant. You mean co conspirator? You mean fellow scumbag and child abuser? You mean the lady that's been Protected on Newsmax continuously. That lady. You disgusting, heartless sons of. Imagine actually getting up there with a straight face and trying to tell people that Ghisne Maxwell's the victim, that Ghis Maxwell's the one who's been treated unfairly. Can you imagine? Well, that's a reality on Newsmax. The lawmakers whose Epstein Files Transparency act was signed into law by President Donald Trump in November petitioned the judge last week in a bid to speed the public disclosure of files related to investigation into the late financier Anne Maxwell. Engelmeier largely agreed with the Justice Department's insistence that. That he, as the judge overseeing Maxwell's case, had no authority to grant Kana and Massey's request for an independent monitor to ensure the immediate release of more than 2 million documents that the government has identified as investigative material. Well, that's because it's a criminal case. And Massey and Khanna, they don't have any standing as interveners in the case. That's not Engelmeier being an obstructionist. That's. That's him following the law. Maybe Luna should ask the DOJ to do the same thing. But God forbid people like Luna hold their own folk accountable. The guy doesn't have an invested interest in getting down to the root of the issue. Luna charged. If people want the files, then let's talk about why there's been a delay. It hasn't been on behalf of Attorney General Pam Bondi, but specifically this judge. You're lying. She's lying right now to everybody. She is an unabashed liar, and that makes her an enabler of Jeffrey Epstein because she's helping with the DOJ and the COVID up. Can you imagine if this was the other side doing it? Luna would be one of the first people out there in her five thousand dollar shirt, yapping and yapping, talking about accountability, this accountability that they need to release everything. But now the tune has changed, right? That's what she was saying previously. Oh, the Epstein files. We're gonna get to the bottom of that. We're gonna hold people accountable. Now she's out here carrying water for the DOJ that has completely and utterly disregarded the law. And the fact that people would believe this lady and actually take her seriously is bananas. This is not a serious person. And how she was ever even elected to office is beyond me. Luna said that the Democrats blasting the Trump administration for releasing the files are being intellectually dishonest. Well, I'm not a Democrat, but there's plenty of intellectual dishonesty to go around. And it's not just coming from the left. In fact, it's coming from people like you. You were one of the biggest hypocrites, Ms. Luna. You're one of these big mouths that thinks they're an influencer instead of a politician. And maybe if you spent as much time talking with survivors as you do making tick tock reels, then maybe you'd understand what you're talking about here. Because every time you open your mouth about this topic, you come off looking like somebody that has zero idea what they're talking about. It would be like me trying to talk about astrophysics. Spoiler alert. I'd look like a and that's how it is when she comes sliding into this conversation without understanding all of the nuance and and instead showing up with stupid, prepackaged narratives and narratives that don't even hit. I mean, if you were gonna say that the Democrats should talk more about Bill Richardson or talk more about George Mitchell and what they were up to with Jeffrey Epstein, I'd be much more inclined to listen. But defending the doj, it is indefensible what they're doing, and anyone trying to defend it should also be criticized.

because they're standing in the way of true justice, right? Let's muddy the waters. Let's Blame the judge. Let's make it more confusing. No, the blame is directly on the DOJ and the Trump administration. Anybody telling you any different is lying to you. This judge is literally blocking it. Luna said, I saw an email to prove it. Oh, we're talking about emails to prove things now? Well, that's interesting. Should we talk about the birthday card sent by Donald Trump to his buddy Jeffrey Epstein? Oh, wait, that's fake too, right? Everything's fake if it goes against the narrative. But you know what's really fake, folks? What's really fake is Luna acting like she cares about Epstein survivors. Because all Luna cares about is herself and the man in the Oval Office that she'll do anything to protect. All of the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box. What's up, everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. The New York Post has never met a salacious story it doesn't like. In fact, page six of the New York Post is synonymous with salacious. But now, all of a sudden, the New York Post editorial board has a lot to say about Jeffrey Epstein and about how ridiculous the New York Post editorial board thinks you are for caring about the story. So what we're going to do today in this episode is we're going to read what the editorial board had to say, and then I'll give you my opinion of what I think. And as you can imagine, I have a few things to say. Today's article was published by the New York Post, and the headline, you'll never guess what the New Epstein Scandal is by the New York Post editorial board. It may be the most wasteful fool's errand in the history of American law. Nearly all of the 200 federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York, the Nation's most important U.S. attorney's office, now spend their days reading through millions of pages of Jeffrey Epstein documents, redacting the names and other identifying information of alleged victims so the full Epstein files can be publicly released. All because of an insane social media hysteria that began on the right and are now fed by the left, including top Democrats in Congress. The insistence that sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein and his paramour procure Glenn Maxwell, entrapped and blackmailed many of the world's billionaires and power brokers with it all covered up in an elaborate plot. As with all conspiracy theories, anything that fails to prove the truth, especially anything that debunks it, just becomes more proof of the plotter's reach. The believers will never be convinced otherwise. It was absolutely the fever swamp. Right. That fed the initial hysteria. But democrats last year started jumping in with both feet, obsessively speculating that president donald trump himself is named in the supposed epstein client list. With trump himself supporting full disclosure to remove any doubts. And rational minds anyway, a new law compels rapid release of the fed's vast stockpile of epstein related documents, redacted to protect anyone who might claim victim status. And so the sdny, the most prestigious and important district in the federal justice system, has had to put other work on hold to satisfy an unsatisfiable demand. Venezuelan strongman nicholas maduro and his wife are in jail awaiting trial on immensely complex charges. You'd hope the u. S. Attorney jay clayton could assign adequate coverage to that case. But epstein alleged health executive assassin luigi mangione's federal death penalty charges now rest on delicate questions about the definition of stalking. Too bad. Sdny is swamped with work addressing the down the rabbit hole preoccupations of epstein's fanatics. Conspiracists and cynical polls alike called everything else going on in america a distraction staged to further the great cover up. Immigration enforcement, Greenland tariffs, ukraine, all ginned up fake issues to keep people from finding out the truth. Yet the biden white house had full access to to all the supposedly explosive epstein material for four years. If anything about trump was there, the folks who went through his wife's underwear drawer would have found it in a way to at least leak it, if not assign a special prosecutor to try and imprison him for it. Reality check. Epstein was a sexual deviant, but not a bit of evidence has ever surfaced to indicate he ran a sinister eyes wide shut sex cult. Yet many of the nation's top legal minds are wasting endless hours trying to convince people who will never be convinced of the truth. What a sick gift to criminals the sdny should be prosecuting. All right, so that's the garbage ass piece that the bootlickers and over at the new york post thought was acceptable. Here's my response. Why don't we just start with the headline? Because nothing screams intellectual rigorous like you'll never guess. The literary equivalent of a carnival barker waving a rubber chicken. The purpose isn't to inform. It's to condition the reader before the first sentence even lands. You're not being invited to think. You're being coached to sneer. The headline tells you immediately who the villain is supposed to be. Not epstein, not prosecutors, not institutions. But you. Your curiosity is the crime. Your questions are are the scandal. And by the time you finish the first line, you're meant to feel faintly embarrassed for caring, and it sets the tone perfectly for everything dishonest that follows. Calling this the most wasteful fool's errand in the history of American law is a remarkable feat of historical amnesia. Apparently, Watergate, Iran Contra, Cointelpro, MK Ultra, and the Pentagon Papers were all charming uses of time. But reviewing records tied to a trafficking empire, the that touch heads of state, well, that's the real blunder. Notice how they don't question why millions of pages exist in the first place. They don't ask why this material wasn't transparently handled years ago. No, the sin is that people now want to see it. The scale of the mess becomes proof that cleanup itself is irresponsible. It's like scolding firefighters because the blaze happens to be inconvenient, and somehow the fire is your fault for pointing it out. Then we're told nearly all of SDNY is now trapped in document purgatory, as if prosecutors are indentured servants being marched at gunpoint to the redaction mines. This is meant to trigger resentment, not understanding. Look what you made them do, the piece whispers, wagging its fingers at the audience. But staffing decisions are made by leadership, not people on X Resource Allocations policy, not hysteria. If reviewing Epstein material disrupts operations, that means the government sat on a mountain of sensitive evidence for years without a plan. The workload's not an argument against transparency, it's proof of how long transparency was denied. And blaming citizens for wanting answers is a neat way to avoid blaming officials for hiding them. Next comes the insult parade. Insane social media hysteria, because nothing discredits inquiry faster than than labeling it pathological. The phrase does all the heavy lifting so they don't have to. They don't refute claims, they diagnose the audience. If you're asking questions, you're not curious. You're unwell. And conveniently, this hysteria supposedly started on the right and is now fed by the left, which lets the editorial board play referee without examining substance. The bipartisan interest itself becomes suspicious, not the scandal that produced it. When both parties ask questions, that's not convergence, my friends. We call that contagion. Accountability becomes a virus, and the disease is people noticing that powerful men escaped consequences. Now, from here, we arrive at the magic word conspiracy. The editorial sprinkles it like holy water, confident it'll ward off all scrutiny. Because once labeled a conspiracy, evidence becomes irrelevant, context becomes noise, and unanswered questions become personality defects. They claim nothing could ever convince believers otherwise. Which is fascinating because the DOJ itself spent years refusing to release records. The very secrecy fuels suspicion is now proof that suspicion is irrational. That's circular reasoning wrapped in contempt. They don't engage with flight logs, plea deals, sealed depositions or immunity agreements. They just announced that skepticism is self sealing madness. And by that logic, Watergate was delusional until Nixon resigned. But apparently institutional history has an expiration date. Next up in the article comes the ideological sorting, because every narrative well needs villains. The fever swamp right apparently birthed this, which is a convenient way to discredit facts by association. The editorial board doesn't explain why conservative courts, conservative prosecutors, and conservative administrators repeatedly protected Epstein. It just paints concern as partisan psychosis. When Democrats start asking questions, they're mocked too, but only as opportunists. Nobody's allowed to be sincerely disturbed. Either you're insane or cynical, never rational. And that framing isn't accidental. It empties the middle ground. If concern is always pathological or political, then institutional failure never has to be examined. And suddenly the scandal isn't the trafficking, it's your curiosity. The next part of this monstrosity is the Trump section, and it's a master class in misdirection dressed as reassurance. We're told Trump supports disclosure in rational minds anyway, which is a cute way to insult anyone who who still doubts his relationship with Epstein while pretending neutrality. The piece carefully avoids mentioning photographs, flight, proximity, Mar? A Lago recruiting, or years of social overlap. Instead, disclosure itself becomes proof of innocence. If you allow files to be released, you must be clean. That logic would have acquitted every criminal who ever cooperated after getting caught. Transparency becomes retroactive absolution, and anyone who still questions it is irrational by definition. And I couldn't help but note that the article repeats itself about SDNY's prestige like a nervous intern reciting talking points. Most important, most prestigious, most vital. As if reverence alone should end the debate. Institutions aren't holy relics. Prestige did not prevent the npa, the sealed agreements, the sweetheart sentence, or the non prosecution of accomplices. Prestige didn't stop federal agents from being muzzled or victims from being ignored. Repeating the title does not erase the record. If anything, prestige makes the failure larger, not smaller. The higher the office, the greater the obligation. And invoking status as a shield is a confession of weakness. One of the most ridiculous points comes in the form of the guilt by triage routine where Epstein files are blamed for distracting prosecutors from Maduro and Mangioni. This is emotional blackmail with illegal vocabulary. Apparently justice is a zero sum game where only one villain may be pursued at a time. The system cannot handle a dictator and a trafficking ring simultaneously, we are told, which is remarkable given that SDNY prosecutes hundreds of cases a year. The editorial pretends prosecutors are incapable of of division of labor. It ignores the reality that large offices operate in parallel, and it quietly suggests that Epstein is less worthy of attention than foreign autocrats, as if elite abuse networks are a hobby crime, and that hierarchy tells you exactly whose suffering counts. As we move along, of course, we get to the distraction section, and that's where the peace really loses control of itself. They mock the idea that immigration Greenland tariffs in Ukraine might be used to drown coverage while simultaneously writing an article designed to drown coverage. The irony is so thick you could tile a courthouse with it. They accuse critics of seeing manipulation everywhere while openly trying to reframe attention away from Epstein. They list crisis not to analyze them, but to overwhelm. The message is simple. There are too many problems. Stop caring about this one. Accountability has become a luxury item, and justice is postponed indefinitely in the name of busyness

The absurd piece then moves on to Biden, which is where the editorial performs rhetorical gymnastics worthy of an Olympic medal. We're told Biden had access to the files for four years. And since nothing leaked about Trump, therefore nothing exists. This assumes leaks always happen, are always complete and always politically convenient. It also ignores the mountain of material still sealed by courts, special masters and protective orders. Access does not equal publication, possession does not equal permission, and absence of leaks does not equal absence of evidence. The logic collapses under its own weight, but it sounds confident, and confidence is apparently sufficient. And the underwear drawer line is supposed to be clever, but it reveals the piece real intent. The goal is not truth. It's exoneration by insult. If investigators were willing to search personal drawers, surely they'd leak the Epstein ties. The article sneers. That presumes political will, institutional courage and prosecutorial independence all function perfectly. History suggests otherwise. It ignores seal, grand juries, classified materials, national security privileges, and negotiated redactions. It ignores the fact that the Epstein case involved intelligence overlaps and international sensitivities. And most importantly, it ignores the documented reality that prosecutors already once buried this case. Deliberately pretending that never happened is the editorial central fraud. Reality check the peace announces, which is usually the moment that reality exits the building. Epstein, we are told, was merely a deviant. Not a cult leader, not an organizer, not a blackmailer. This is the cheapest form of minimization. Downgrade structure to pathology. If he's just sick, no one else matters. No logistics, no recruiters, no financiers, no protectors, no facilitators. Just a lonely pervert with a jet, multiple mansions, an international pipeline and immunity from federal prison. And of course, that story collapses under basic arithmetic. Deviants do not build global operations alone, and predators at that level do not survive without protection. The dismissal of the Eyes Wide Shut sex cult is a strawman built to be burned. No serious investigator claims Epstein was ran a robed candle ceremony in a Manhattan penthouse. The actual allegations are more banal and more damning. Recruitment, coercion, payments, favors, kompromat access. But it's easier to mock masks and orgies than discuss influence networks. By charactering the theory, they avoid evidence. They reduce complexity to parody so they never have to touch. And the uncomfortable middle ground. And the middle ground is exactly where institutional accountability lives. The ridicule is not aimed at fantasy. It's aimed at inquiry itself. Then comes the lament about top legal minds wasting time convincing people who will never be convinced. That story alone reveals the editorial's worldview. The purpose of law, apparently, is not justice, but persuasion. If some citizens remain skeptical, the entire exercise is pointless. That's not how accountability works. Courts don't exist to soothe opinion they exist to establish record. Transparency is not therapy for doubters. It's obligation to the public. And victims are not props in public relations exercises. The idea that their case is a gift to criminals because it occupies time is obscene. Criminals benefit from secrecy, not sunlight. Notice how the article never once addresses the non prosecution agreement, the immunity clause for unnamed co conspirators, the sealed grand jury, the destroyed evidence, the delayed indictments, the classified designations, the intelligence overlaps, the banking settlements, the estate negotiations, or the missing surveillance footage. Not one of these inconvenient facts appears. Instead, we get workload complaints and mood policing. Believe me, that omission is not accidental. You can't dismantle a cover up without mentioning the COVID And the editorial carefully steps around every structural failure that produced this distrust. The repeated insistence that no evidence has ever surfaced is a masterpiece of selective blindness. Flight log surfaced, settlement surfaced, photograph surfaced, testimony surfaced, financial records surfaced, recruiting patterns surfaced. Non prosecution agreements surfaced. Whatever surfaced were full accomplice lists, charging memos, or intelligence referrals. Declaring no evidence while ignoring mountains of partial evidence is not skepticism, it's curatorship. They're not denying the facts. They're rationing relevance. And the ration somehow always favors power. What truly terrifies this editorial is not conspiracy thinking, its institutional memory. Because the Epstein case is not an anomaly. It's a case study. It shows how money bends law, how prestige shields predators, how silence is negotiated, and how victims are managed. It exposes the pattern the system desperately wants buried. The files are dangerous not because they reveal orgies, but because they reveal process. They show who intervened, who stalled, who, who authorized, and who looked away. That's why transparency is treated as vandalism. And that is why curiosity must be pathologized. The contempt dripping from this piece is not aimed at extremists. It's aimed at you. You are not trusted to read the documents. You are not trusted to weigh evidence. You are not trusted to distinguish rumor from record. You are to be managed, reassured, and scolded back into apathy. The editorial does not defend institutions by explaining them. It defends them by insulting their critics. And that, my friends, is the rhetoric of insecurity, not confidence. Strong systems invite scrutiny. Weak ones beg for quiet. And this piece is not calm, it's panicked. In the end, this article is not about Epstein at all. It's about control. Control of narrative, control of attention, control of legitimacy. The real scandal is not document review. It's the fear of what the review might reveal. The real waste is not prosecutor time. It's decades of accountability that's been deferred. The real hysteria is not public suspicion, it's institutional anxiety. And the real conspiracy is not a cult, but a culture that teaches powerful men they will be protected. This editorial is not journalism. It's damaged containment. And the contempt it shows for the public is the clearest evidence yet that something remains very wrong.
