00:49:18
Federal Bureau of Investigation encountered multiple points over the years where information about Jeffrey Epstein could have supported earlier, more aggressive action, but those moments repeatedly failed to translate into an immediate federal arrest....

welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. Oh, so you want to talk about more corruption at the FBI when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein? Well, I got you covered because that's what we're going to do again on this episode. The fact that this man was protected for so long by who knows who. All right, I won't speculate, but who knows who? Somebody was protecting him. And the fact that he was able to do what he was able to do for so long proves that point. There's a lot of people out there that will try and act like Epstein wasn't some sort of informant for the government. And I find that laughable at best. And if you have information or evidence that can prove that, I'd love to see it. But there is evidence to the contrary that Jeffrey Epstein certainly was, at the very least, an informant for the federal government, the FBI, the CIA, whoever. How do you not go to jail for the Tower Ponzi scheme? How do you not go to jail during Bears and Sterns? How do you not go to jail for molesting a bunch of little girls unless you're being protected by some powerful ass people? And why do those people protect you? Well, it's not because they're nice. It's not because they decided one day that they're going to be the patron of Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein was giving them something back. Right. Compromise, Blackmail, videotape, surveillance, all of it. All of the stuff that the FBI said they seized that we have no idea where it is. Now, what was on those hard drives? What sort of video information do they have and they're sitting on. Anyone who is in those videos, at the very least, should be brought in and deposed. Right, but for some reason, that's not the case. In fact, their work was so shoddy that when the FBI first rated Jeffrey Epstein's house, they didn't even take the hard drives with them. They left them there. And then, well, of course, Richard Khan comes, takes those hard drives, leaves with them for a few days, and who knows what happens to them. Now, I'm not saying he erased anything or. But I don't know what he did. Nobody does. That's why there's a chain of custody. But it sure seems that the chain of custody is never respected when, when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. So instead of writing your pieces on conspiracies, why don't you dig in deep and ask some of these government officials why they flubbed the ball so bad for so many years when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. And I don't want to just hear about Acosta anymore. That's some straight up bullshit. Sure, Acosta has his blame in this. He has no backbone. He's a coward. He should have stood up to his bosses and said, I will not take part in this deal. He. He didn't do any of that. But if you think Acosta made that decision on his own, I don't know what to tell you because that comes from on high, folks. That comes from justice department central. And Mukazi was the man in charge at the time. You never hear his name brought up, do you? Today we have an article from Coastal network headline, jeffrey Epstein and corruption in the FBI and US court system. This article was published November 4th of 2020. Jeffrey Epstein, a high profile individual, evaded serious charges in the U. S. Government. Jeffrey Epstein, a hedge fund manager pedophile with many high profile acquaintances which was charged with sex trafficking of minors last year after luring young girls to his Palm beach mansion for years. As someone with seemingly unlimited power and influence, Epstein somehow evaded serious charges from the government and until 2019, with accusations dating back to the early 2000s. Now you show me another person who has been able to so deftly avoid the federal government for so long with so many charges hanging over their head, bro. John Gotti couldn't do it, right? John Gotti's dance was interrupted. Paul Castellano. We can go on and on of powerful mafioso who was brought down by the federal government, but Jeffrey Epstein has so much power, has so much reach that he's able to operate his disgusting business for all of these years. The Epstein case brings the state of corruption in the FBI and US justice system to light. Many questions have arisen regarding how the case was handled by the FBI and how the sweetheart deal was made. Epstein, who died by suspected suicide in 2019, was finally charged by Florida prosecutors in 2008 when he pleaded guilty. They might as well have just gave him a slap on the wrist. Right? Listen, folks, we gave Jeffrey Epstein a good stern talking to and he's not going to do what he did ever again. Meanwhile, he continued to do it after his arrest, after his release, and while he was out on work release. So please save the bullshit for somebody that's buying it. I have had my fill of the COVID up here. Corruption in the u. S. System enabled Epstein to walk free for years. Jeffrey Epstein's case depicts deep corruption in the u. S. Court system. After being accused of trafficking and abusing young girls, Epstein was merely given an 18 month sentence, a slap on the wrist for such a heinous crime. Not only did Epstein receive a lenient sentence of solicitation of prostitution as part of the sweetheart deal, but he only served 13 months during which he was free much of the time on work release. And while he was out on work release, according to reports, he was abusing people. So while the US Government was supposed to be watching him, he was abusing people. Now we see the lawsuit from the gymnasts against the federal government and the FBI because of Larry Nassar. I would love to see the same thing here because the FBI, the government, they really flubbed it. They really, really flubbed it and they shouldn't be given any quarter when it comes to this situation. Alexander Acosta, the U.S. attorney in Miami at the time, is one of the key figures who mishandled the Epstein case and granted the sweetheart deal. Acosta's office broke the law by not disclosing the deal to survivors. Oh, I thought the court said something different. Oh, nobody broke the law here. It was improper, but the law wasn't broken. You notice how the court never holds itself responsible? Oh, they'll hold you responsible. You out there with a dime bag of weed in one of these repressive ass states. You're gonna go to jail. But these dudes can lie and run operations where they're covering for pedophiles. And it's all good. He had the power to lock Epstein away for life, yet allowed the sex offender to roam free from for another decade. And I agree with that. He was part of the problem. But the real problem for me goes all the way to the top, to the doj. A guy like Acosta isn't making a decision like this in a vacuum. In the summer of 2019, Epstein was arrested and charged with sex trafficking by federal prosecutors. Acosta was not the only official that seemed to be in Epstein's corner. The office of the New York District Attorney, Cyrus Vance, argue that Epstein's status as a sex offender can be reduced. How about that? Good old Cyrus Vance from the New York prosecutor's office. You know, the big mouths who run around and who talk about how they're, you know, these proper people and how everybody else is an insurrectionist or this or that or the other thing. You know, all the divisive rhetoric that they like to use. Meanwhile, it's convenient for them to forget that Epstein was active right under their noses for decades and. And these people didn't do about it. So how about you answer for that, Mr. Cyrus Vance? How about you answer for that, all of you over at the SDNY and at the New York attorney's office, Epstein's defenders, Acosta and Vance, are in the public realm and should be held accountable for their leniency. At least 80 teenagers, most between the ages of 13 and 16, when abused, came forward with similar stories of being lured to Epstein's mansion. Yet both Acosta and Vance chose to ignore survivors and side with a predator simply because he had money and the power of influence and he was being protected by some pretty powerful people, Acosta said about intelligence himself. So who from intelligence was involved here? Let's get Costa deposed, put him on the bench. Let's see what's up. What intelligence agencies approached you, but we can't even get that. And instead of people from NPR or these other outlets digging deeper into why things are being hidden from the public, instead they try and attack people in the public. Does that sound like the proper way to go about it if you're looking for the truth? Corruption in the prison system. On August 10, 2019, at Epstein was found dead in his jail cell. The forensic report showed the cause of death is suicide, though many people are skeptical and don't believe that Epstein killed himself. Ultimately, two jail guards at the Metropolitan Correctional center in Manhattan were charged with falsifying records. The two guards initially claimed to have done their nightly rounds, but footage suggests otherwise. And they confessed to messing up the circumstances surrounding the suicide and how jail guards did not notice and has been a source of conspiracy theories and Suspicion. Well, you can end all of it by being transparent. That's how you end conspiracy theory, with transparency and truth. But when there's a lack of that from the federal government, people are left to come up with their own stories, their own, you know, reasons for why things happened. And of course, there's grifters out there that will play on people, they'll play on their biases, and they'll come up with all kinds of wild conspiracy theories. There's no doubt that happens. But if you're going to talk about conspiracy theory and people who are pitching them, then speak directly to the people who are out here pitching conspiracy theories. Don't malign a whole community of concerned citizens who are demanding justice, An end to trial, and co conspirators. Though Epstein's death brings an end to the case, it is not the end of the investigations. Epstein's main co conspirator, his longtime girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, was recently arrested for her role in the sex trafficking of minors. And we know the story of her now. She's in prison for 20 years. Other prominent figures who mingled with Epstein and Maxwell are also under scrutiny. A survivor accuses Prince Andrew of sex with minors and says that Epstein trafficked many of the underage girls to have sex with prominent men. Other politicians and celebrities who socialize with Epstein are also under the public eye, including President Trump, former President Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey, and Woody Allen, to name a few. The Epstein corruption saga is not over for those who are involved need to be held accountable so justice can be brought to the survivors. Now that sounds like a tune I'd like to dance to. A little bit of justice in a world. In a world filled with injustice. Sounds like a pretty good time to me. All right, folks, that's going to do it for this episode.

The link that I discussed can be found in the description box. What's up, everyone? And welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles. That NPR article the other day about conspiracy theories surrounding Jeffrey Epstein really got me to thinking why so many people in the legacy media seem hell bent on covering for Jeffrey Epstein when there's so much information out there that, that even a simple Google search would show you that shit is not right here yet. You have people who would rather focus on the conspiracy theories rather than on the criminal enterprise and the actual crimes that went down. So since they don't know how to do their jobs correctly, I'll step into that vacuum and I'll do it for them. Because it's getting pretty old to have all of these legacy outlets focus on the conspiracy theory rather than on the crimes that were committed. And that's what you get consistently. All of these articles that you see trying to posit Jeffrey Epstein's story as one big conspiracy theory, they're doing that for political motivation, for political gain. If they're writing those stories, they feel like this story of Jeffrey Epstein is hurting their favorite political candidate. Point blank, period. And it's transparent what they're doing to anyone who's paying attention. Because anyone who has even the slightest handle on this story understands how deep it is, understands how many tentacles Jeffrey Epstein had flung all over the world. And unlike other people, I don't just sit here and tell you that everything we talk about is sourced through legacy media outlets.

So the information is there, but the legacy media themselves refused to put the pieces together because they don't want it to end up in a huge political catastrophe for them. That's what it comes down to. So today we're going to jump back in the time machine once again, folks, and go back to February 20th of 2020. We have an article from Law and Crime headline FBI had dirt that could have unraveled Jeffrey Epstein's entire network more than a decade ago. I guess that's a conspiracy theory too, right? I. I guess the FBI, they're just so nice that they decided to sit on that information and not go after Epstein, right? This article was authored by Colin Kker. The Federal Bureau of Investigation had dirt on Jeffrey Epstein more than a decade ago, but he was bailed out by federal prosecutors in Florida before authorities had the chance to act on that information. Boy, oh boy. How many people do you know that have been bailed out by the prosecutors? Not very many, right? Hardly any. I guess it helps though, and it makes it easier when you have an ex prosecutor who's working for the prosecution one day and then the very next day that same prosecutor is defending your associates. Well, I guess it makes it a little easier for you to game the system, right? But I guess that's okay. According to ABC News, Epstein recruited a 14 year old girl to give him massages in his Upper east side mansion in 2002. The woman claims that Epstein gradually came to sexually abuse her. The dead pedophile's assistants allegedly scheduled several appointments with the girl who accepted cash from the elite predator because her family was suffering through poverty. And we've said this a million times here, right? The whole entire perception of giving money makes it look like these girls are prostitutes when that is not the case. These are vulnerable girls that are recruited off the street, from malls, from Mar a Lago, wherever, and then they're brought into this spider web and this is normalized to them. They see everybody else doing it. They think that's how the elite live. And so it's off and running. But Epstein and Maxwell and their assistants, they understood what they were doing. If we give them money, well, now we can say it's solicitation. The woman's identity is currently being shrouded out of respect for privacy, but she was identified in 2019 by the Southern District of New York SDNY in Epstein's indictment as Minor Victim 1. Spencer Kuvan, an attorney who represented three Epstein survivors told ABC the FBI could have unraveled the entire network from New York to Paris to New Mexico. And again, not me saying this, Spencer Kuven telling you this, but it's a fact. The FBI had everything they needed to go after Jeffrey Epstein. They had everything they needed to bring him and all of his associates to justice, but they didn't do it. And the sdny, they can get up there and they can crow about whatever they want, but the fact is they had their shot, but plenty of times, and they never took it. Enter. About 2002, minor victim number one was recruited to engage in sex acts with Epstein and was repeatedly sexually abused by Epstein at the New York residence over a period of years and was paid hundreds of dollars for each encounter. The SDNY filing notes, Epstein also encouraged and enticed minor victim number one to recruit other girls to engage in in paid sex acts, which she did. Epstein asked minor survivor number one how old she was, and minor survivor number one answered truthfully. Epstein wanted them young, and a lot of times these girls were told to lie about their age if asked. But this time around, according to the survivor, Epstein asked the age she told her, told him, and it was all good. The man whose child's sex abuse empire was allegedly enjoyed by several of the world's most popular and powerful men in art, politics and finance was of course, pronounced dead by suicide in August of 2019 under extremely suspicious circumstances, soon after being apprehended by New York authorities. Justice, it seems, had eluded his dozens of survivors for the final time. And again, this is law and crime saying this, not me. You got an outlet here that is run by lawyers talking about the circumstances being less than ideal surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's alleged suicide. And I don't know how anyone who's looking at it with a clear head can say otherwise. And let me be very clear here. I am more than willing to accept he killed himself, but I need the evidence to point me there. I'm not just gonna buy into it because Bill Barr told me so. And for the conservatives or people who lean to the right who listen to the show, how long have I been warning you folks about Bill Barr? How long have I been calling this dude Darth Barr? He is a no good son of a and certainly not trustworthy. So I don't trust anything he has to say about Jeffrey Epstein. In fact, I think there should be a commission about Jeffrey Epstein, and Bill Barr should be subpoenaed. The woman, however, recently filed a lawsuit against Epstein's estate, which offers several details about her abuse and exploitation. Her experience with Epstein fit within what is known to have been a common pattern for the abuser. The lawsuit reads. He would find vulnerable young girls who needed money and slowly test their boundaries, first asking them to remove their own clothes and massage him. And then over time, he would escalate his conduct, touching them in ways that would become more invasive, violent and painful. As these children grow, grew to rely financially on Epstein, he would only cause them more and more harm. Look, as the pit widens and as you sink deeper into it and as you come to rely on this dude's money, well, he has the ability to manipulate you even more. And for Jeffrey Epstein, let's not, let's not forget that it wasn't just about the sex it was about the power play that came with all of this. The lawsuit continues. On a personal note, she never received a high school education. She suffers from post Traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression. Her severe emotional injuries manifest in many ways. She often finds herself crying. She is unable to form healthy emotional relationships with men. She often cannot sleep through the night or fall asleep at all. She has panic attacks and she is constantly afraid for her young daughter. And with all of that in mind, and knowing that the FBI had the evidence to stop this sick fuck and they didn't do it, how can you not be upset? ABC News notes the woman is scheduled to testify before a grand jury to during the summer of 2008. As the day drew near, Epstein scheduled a hearing and entered his guilty plea mysteriously securing unheard of preferential treatment from local law enforcement and federal authorities alike. The woman's testimony was abruptly cancelled. So we've never been able to get any of those records from that original grand jury, from the original arrest. Palm beach county, who is really in the spotlight right now with what's going on down in Mar a Lago. They have continuously screwed the pooch here when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. So I don't have the highest opinion of what's going on down in Palm Beach. I mean I, I have the, the same sort of opinion of them as I do of the SDNY and it's not very good. Unfortunately. FBI agents who interviewed her earlier that year were left with legally useless information about an avowed and wealthy pedophile with, with friends in the highest places of several governments. Now why would the United States Federal Prosecutor's office engage in a deal with somebody like this? Can you give me a good reason? For the last three and a half years as I've researched this case every single day, I have not found one single good reason why that would be the case. Marie Vilafana is the one time Florida federal prosecutor who oversaw the U.S. attorney Attorney's Office initial investigation of Epstein. The same investigation that was ultimately shut down by then U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida Alex Acosta as he reacted to pressure from those close to the intelligence community to give the well connected pedophile a sweetheart deal and a slap on the wrist. So again folks, conspiracy theories. Where you want to talk about the intelligence community? It's right here in plain English for you. And for the author of that NPR article, you should really school yourself on the topic before you start making accusations about a whole bunch of people. It's really not a good look. Her attorney Ty Kelly issued the following statement on her, but on her behalf. Because the Department of Justice has declined to waive privilege over the Epstein matter, Ms. Vilafana is prohibited from discussing this matter and her opinions on the outcome in greater detail. If the department were to waive that privilege, she believes it would provide a fuller and more accurate picture of how she handled this matter and how she advocated for survivors at every turn. So why is the government still holding information close to its chest here? When it comes to Epstein and who he was connected to, that's not national security. There's no national security implications here. There's no Russians coming, so what are they doing? And if you're not mad about that and you're mad that people are talking about it, maybe you should reevaluate your whole entire outlook on life because you're being lied to by the legacy media. And if that's okay with you, then fine. I'm not here to tell you what to think or what to believe. As I've said a million times, I feel like my job here is to curate this story and open a few doors for you to walk through. And what you do with that information is completely up to you. I'm not one of these people who believes he's smarter than anybody else or knows more than anybody else. I just have my finger on the pulse when it comes to this case, and my meter has been pretty damn good throughout this whole thing. And when we hear about the FBI safeguarding information, and there's, you know, right now, as we speak, techno frog over on Twitter, who. Who is a great researcher. He has some freedom of information stuff going with the FBI, and they're being all coy about it, so it tells you everything you need to know. The fact is, we're being lied to by the federal government when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. They're not giving us the full story, and we demand transparency. Too fast, Trevor. Too fast.

Point blank Period. The former's prosecutor's words, however, are likely to ring somewhat hollow in light of the known historical record as Law and Crime previously reported, Vilafano was reprimanded by a federal judge and in 2007 for an intentional, intentional and or serious lapse in judgment because she held out held back information in another sex crimes case that also included an underage female victim. Now, some people try to paint Villafana as a hero here. And me, I never went down that path. I always thought that a real hero would have reported the facts no matter what, even if that if, if that meant they'd lose their job. Sometimes you gotta take a stand, even if that means taking that stand might end up being a tough go of it. And unfortunately, Ms. Vilafana certainly didn't do that. But again, folks, here you have it right there for you from Law and crime. Dan Abrams production certainly not QAnon telling you that the FBI had this information, telling you that the FBI did not act on that information. So this is a record of fact. This is not a conspiracy theory. This is not conjecture. The FBI had several chances to arrest Jeffrey Epstein previous to his long reign of terror, and they did not do so. And we're going to continue to talk about that throughout time. And I'm going to continue to go back into the vault and pull articles like this. Some of these articles we may have done, you know, two years ago, but we're going to look at them with a fresh perspective because this whole entire push recently to try and posit this as some big conspiracy theory for wackos is very, very hurtful to the survivors and to the cause of justice. All right, folks, it's going to do it for this episode.

Our article Today is from nbcnews.com the headline FBI wanted to arrest Epstein at Virgin Island's Beauty Pageant months before plea deal was cut. An FBI supervisor was extremely upset about being denied the opportunity to arrest Epstein. In 2007. A Justice Department report says right off the bat, there's big problems there. Why are the bureaucrats above these field agents not letting them pursue cases the way they see fit? Their job is to make sure everything runs in an orderly fashion. The chiefs, their job is to make sure everybody is doing their job. Their job isn't to kill an investigation into somebody like Jeffrey Epstein or tell these field agents that they can't arrest Jeffrey Epstein considering all of the evidence that they have. And that's why when people talk about
- [30:54]
B
Costa, he's the real one to blame.
- [30:57]
C
That's why I'm so adamant that he's not. He's just another piece on the, on the, on the chessboard, folks. Being moved and manipulated by those above. And those are the people who I'm setting my sights on. The mukazes of the world. The other people at the Department of Justice. Who was giving these orders? Who was telling these agents not to pursue Jeffrey Epstein and why? This article was authored by Tom Winter and Sarah Fitzpatrick. The FBI wanted to arrest Jeffrey Epstein was while he was judging a beauty pageant in the Virgin Islands seven months before he signed a non prosecution deal that shielded him from the federal sex crime. Excuse me. Federal sex crime charges, a Justice Department report says. And now you see why his lawyers were so adamant about getting this deal done right? Months before the deal was even signed off on, these FBI agents wanted to pursue him and arrest him at this beauty pageant and they were told no by their superiors. Did their superiors then contact Jeffrey Epstein and his lawyers and let them know what was coming down the pipe? Look, I don't have evidence directly pointing to that, but it would fit the narrative and it would fit what we already know about the relationship between Epstein, his lawyers and the prosecution. We know that there were deep ties there. You know, they didn't go to lunch to discuss each other's families or anything like that. Okay, who were, who was the one who was responsible for telling these agents not to pursue Epstein? That's a pretty basic question that should be answered. And whoever that person is should have to testify under oath as to why they made that decision. The 347 page report obtained by NBC News expands on an executive summary released Thursday on of a probe into a more than decade old sex abuse investigation of Epstein The Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility found that former Labor Secretary Alex King Koopa Acosta, who oversaw the case when he was a top federal prosecutor in Florida in the mid-2000s, exercised poor judgment but did not engage in misconduct. Well, yeah, how could it be misconduct if his superiors are ordering him to do this? And again, I really don't know how anyone can believe that Acosta had the power or the ability to pull that off on his own. It's just. That's just not reality. That's not how these large bureaucracies work. Do you think that these people above Acosta don't want their taste? They don't want their bit of the. Of the spotlight when they send somebody away? Or, on the other hand, if they have buddies or people they're, you know, friends with or people that might be involved in some sort of government operation? The absolute. The.
- [34:03]
A
The.
- [34:03]
C
The absolute opposite is true of how the. These FBI bosses go. So, again, for me, it all comes down to the people above Acosta making these decisions. Now, of course, Acosta is a spineless scumbag. How anyone could just shake their head, yes, boss. Oh, okay, boss. Yes, boss. Yes, boss. Whatever you say, boss. I'll let this serial pedophile, serial child sex abuser just go free after a year. Okay, boss. Whatever you say. How. I mean, how do you live with yourself? So it's not like I'm saying Acosta shouldn't have been canned and he shouldn't be shit on. He should be. But what about the people above him? Are we going to allow them to use him as a scapegoat like they always do?
- [34:46]
B
Or are.
- [34:47]
C
Are we going to demand that it goes all the way up the ladder for once and that there's some accountability in Washington, D.C. and at the Department of Justice? That's the path I'm on, folks. Now, if people are happy with just collecting Acosta's scalp, then that's fine, and they can pursue whatever they'd like to pursue. But me personally, there is zero chance that this dies on the vine with Acosta like they want it to. This goes all the way to the top. Everybody who signed off on that paperwork, everybody who was in the direct chain of command, all of them have some answers that they need to give. The full report quotes one prosecutor as telling a colleague that the FBI had wanted. Wanted to arrest Epstein in the Virgin Islands during a beauty pageant where he is a judge. So that would have been nice, huh? Go in there, arrest him right at that beauty pageant, make a scene about It, Video cameras, news people there, the whole nine. That's what should have happened. The case agent recalled that she and her co. Case agent were disappointed about being denied the opportunity to make the arrest in May 2007, the report says, and an FBI supervisor overseeing the case was extremely upset about it. So they were so upset that they came out and were whistleblowers about this or not? They just, you know, kept their heads down and kept. Kept their jobs. While I agree that I'd been freaked out, if I was an FBI investigator or an FBI supervisor and I was told not to pursue this, I would have freaked out. I would have went public. There's no chance that I would have just tucked my tail and accepted something like that. And that's why I can never, ever work for an entity or a monolithic place like the government, because I'd be blowing the whistle every chance I got. What they're doing behind the scenes is atrocious, it's gross, and it needs to end. And if anyone thinks it just started with the previous, the recent administration, then your bias is showing and you should probably step out of your echo chamber for a little while. Because this is a systemic problem with, within Washington, D.C. and within places like the Department of Justice. It didn't happen overnight. This sort of environment has been fostered over the years by incompetent leaders in the position of Attorney General. And we're, we're, we're directly on course for another shit bag to be appointed. Have you taken a look at Joe Biden's transition team? Boy, those people have not never met a war that they haven't liked, huh? It wasn't until a year later, in 2008, that Epstein surrendered to authorities after signing a plea deal. That the FBI wanted to bring charges against Epstein in 2007 was already known, but the agency's interest in arresting him at a beauty pageant in the Virgin Islands and has not been previously reported. And again, what do I always say about this stuff, right? Every time something new comes out, there's always at least one little nugget for us. And that's why it's important that we stay on task. And we keep hammering these articles as soon as they come out and we add them to the catalog, because every time we read a new article or there's new documentation that comes out from the courts, we always find at least one or two little nuggets that help put the pieces together. And what this does, in my opinion, is it shows the complicity of the higher ups at the FBI for not wanting to get involved with Epstein. Did it have anything to do with his relationship with Bill Clinton, perhaps? The politically connected financier pedophile had been accused of sexually abusing dozens of teenage girls in his West Palm beach mansion. But he eventually pleaded guilty to state charges in involving a single survivor in a deal that spared him from serving a long prison sentence. Imagine doing what Jeffrey Epstein did and only receiving the slap on the wrist that he received. Imagine how brazen you would feel. Imagine how emboldened you would feel. So now he doesn't do any real prison time. He gets out, he knows he just got a slap on the wrist. He knows that people aren't even paying attention to him anymore, and he dives right back into what he was doing. If I was one of these survivors, who was Abu, who was abused by Epstein after his arrest, I would sue the federal government for incompetence, negligence, and aiding and abetting in my misery. Now, do I, Would that lawsuit go anywhere? I don't know, but I'd file it. Epstein ultimately spent 13 months in jail and was allowed to leave almost every day through a work release program. He died by suicide, allegedly inside a federal prison last year while awaiting trial on new sex trafficking charges. Now ask yourselves if you know anyone who has ever been in prison or jail. Did they have that ability, a work release program? Did they have a whole stockade of the jail to themselves? Were they able to go to their office and work every day for 13 hours a day? Did they have full access to the tv? Did they have full access to their lawyers whenever they wanted them? And I can answer that question for you because the answer is no. Normal folks like you and I, or your cousin John or your friend Mikey who got caught up with some drugs maybe, and is in jail, they don't get those privileges, folks. Only scumbags like Jeffrey Epstein get those privileges. The report says the federal investigation began when Assistant U.S. attorney Marie Villafana told Acosta that she was willing to invest the time and the FBI was willing to invest the money to investigate Epstein. But I didn't want to get to the end and then have the U.S. attorney's office be intimidated by the high powered lawyers for Epstein. She said in an email, which included the report, I was assured that would not happen. Well, it did happen. And Ms. Vilafano, what did you do about it? Again, you're another person who just tuck tailed and run. It was absolute travesty what happened here. How could the U.S. attorney's office be intimidated by any high powered lawyers. The U.S. attorney's Office, the federal U.S. attorney's Office, has so much power at their fingertips that it's not even funny. They could ruin your life with a snap of their fingers. But they're intimidated by Jeffrey Epstein's lawyers, huh? I highly doubt that. What that really means is if you read between the lines, they're intimidated by who those lawyers know, by who those lawyers are friends with, by who those lawyers are pressuring outside of this case to make sure that it doesn't go anywhere. That's what that means. Villafano wrote in July 2007, nearly two months after the FBI wanted to arrest Epstein at the beauty pageant. Now I feel like there is a glass ceiling that prevents me from moving forward. While evidence suggests that Epstein is continuing to engage in. In this criminal behavior. All of these people should lose their jobs. Vilafana, Acosta's gone, and they should all be looked at with scorn. You know, Villafana can say whatever she wants, but she was in this shit. She could have. She could have came out with all of this. She could have blown this wide open. She could have advanced it all the way up the ladder, went to the Inspector general, went to everybody that she could have, and blew the whistle that something really, really, really wrong was going on here.

But she didn't. Happy Holiday. The report describes a year of back and forth communications between a. Between a cadre of Epstein's attorneys, Villafana, Villafana's immediate supervisors, and Acosta himself, some of which have previously been detailed in court filings. It includes summarizations of interviews with FBI agents, emails and written documentation about the case, as. And again, I don't even want to hear anything from anybody who thinks that Acosta is the be all end all here. Do you think those missing emails, that was. That's a coincidence, folks, or was Acosta in communication with the higher ups in the US Prosecutor's office all the way up to the Department of Justice heads? I'm going to go with that theory, okay? Because that makes a whole lot more sense than a middling US Attorney making these kind of bold decisions on their own. That does not happen in the belly of the bureau of the bureaucracy, folks. Okay? The bureaucrats above him, they have to have their fingers in it, too. They need to have their credit. They need to be involved. So if anyone thinks Acosta's out here making executive decisions on his own, well, I don't know what to tell you. Vilafana told the Justice Department that she believed Acosta was Influenced by the stature of Epstein's attorneys. Well, his bosses were. And they reached out to him and told him the deal. Look, it's very obvious how this is lining up now, at least from the way I see it. Acosta was nothing more than a yes man. And his bosses put all of this into play when his bosses were pressured by Epstein and Epstein's lawyers. That's the way it looks to me. One of the issues in the case was the defense ability to describe the case or characterize the case as being legally complex. Vilafana told investigators the report says it was not as legally complex as they made it out to be. No shit it wasn't. It was cut and dry, black and white. But he was being protected from those on high. Who those people were, those exact people, I don't know. I don't have those answers for you folks. But we're going to keep digging. We're going to keep talking about it, and maybe someday we'll find out. But I. I am 100% sure, 100% positive, in my opinion, anyway, that Acosta was not the. The puppet. I mean, the puppeteer. He was the puppet. And there were people behind the scenes pulling his strings, no doubt about it. But the report says neither Vilafauna nor. Nor any of the other individuals OPR interviewed identified any specific evidence suggesting that Acosta or any of the other subjects extended an improper favor of benefit to Epstein because of a personal relationship with defense counsel. Of course not. What do you think they're that stupid? They're not going to just leave it out there for it to be found out. They can they hide their tracks? What do you think? Acosta's boss's intelligence, like Acosta said, out of his own mouth. Don't know how to clean up their own tracks here. Of course they did. And that leads me back to the missing emails.

in a statement released Thursday, Acosta said the report fully debunks allegations that the USAO improperly cut Epstein a sweetheart deal or purposely voided investigating potential wrongdoing by various prominent individuals. No, not really. It doesn't do anything like that. Okay. You haven't answered any questions, Mr. Acosta.

You've been real quiet, tight lipped about everything.

And you think that you're just going to slide out of this without any more scrutiny, you're wrong. While I don't put all of the blame on Acosta shoulders, he carries his share and he needs to also be held responsible for what occurred. The report also raises new questions about what federal prosecutors thought was going on with the original case investigated by local prosecutors in Palm Beach. The state intentionally torpedoed it in the grand jury, so it was brought to us, one of Vilafana supervisors wrote as federal prosecutors were weighing charges in 2007. Yeah, of course they did. They definitely torpedoed the case.

about the accusers in the courtroom, calling them prostitutes and hookers and saying that they're bad people because they posted about smoking weed and hooking up with dudes on their social media page. So that makes you a bad person in this world. In the world of scumbag Alan Dershowitz, in the world of scumbag Acosta, the victim is the one to be maligned. Federal prosecutors had concerns about the state prosecutor at the time, Barry Krisher, the report says. In an email, Acosta asked one of the supervisors of the case if it

would be appropriate to give a heads
- [48:16]
C
up to Krisher on how they were going to proceed with the investigation. The the supervisor advised, advised Krisher no for fear that it will be leaked straight to Epstein, the report says. So how, how is there no wrongdoing here? Okay, if, if you're worried about this stuff being leaked directly to epst, how is Barry Krish not brought up on charges here? Were they working in concert with Epstein's lawyers? It sure looks that way. The whole entire prosecution and everybody involved in it should have serious repercussions for their actions. As the non prosecution agreement was still being negotiated, Vilafano wrote an email to Acosta describing the pain of three alleged survivors who who were recently interviewed by investigators. One girl broke down sobbing so that we had to stop the interview twice within a 20 minute span, she wrote. She regained her composure enough to continue a short time, but she said that she was having nightmares about Epstein coming after her and she started to break down again. So we stopped the interview. And this is the kind of shit the prosecutors were hearing and they didn't care. They still gave him that slap on the wrist, that plea deal, that sorry ass, weak ass sentence and there's been no sanctions on any of these prosecutors. They've went about their lives. They're all involved in private practices and shit now, making money hand over fist. These girls deserve so much better than they have received so far. And I hate feeling that there is nothing I can do to help them. Villafana added, folks, that that's a big problem, okay? You work for the United States Attorney General. You're a United States lawyer, right? You're a prosecutor for the federal government. And you can't help girls who are being trafficked and sexually abused with all of this evidence lying around. So you see folks, it's obviously not Acosta, okay? It's way above him. It goes all the way to the top and we need to change it. But there's no way that's ever going to happen. It if we keep sending retreads Back to D.C. career politicians, garbage ass people who did nothing for their whole entire run as a politician to help these survivors, yet we keep sending the same scumbags Back to Washington D.C. epstein's attorney, Ken Starr, wrote a final email to Acosta when the case was concluded. While I am obviously very unhappy at what I believe is the government's treatment of my client, a man whom I have come to deeply admire, I recognize that we have filed and argued our appellate motions and law Starr said. He concluded, saying, I would like to have some closure with you on this matter so that in the years to come, neither of us will harbor any ill will over the matter. Ken Starr's an absolute piece of shit, by the way. All right? The guy's a garbage human being. He's always been a garbage human being. And this just intensifies the garbage smell hanging around him. He was a crucial part of Epstein's team. He brought a lot of credibility to Epstein's team and he had an in with the federal prosecutors at the time. Ken Starr is somebody who is been reprehensible from for a very long time and continues on the pathway of being a disgusting son of a bitch. You deeply admire Jeffrey Epstein. You've come to deeply admire Jeffrey Epstein, huh? Well, that says a whole hell of a lot about you, Ken Starr. A whole hell of a lot about you and all of these other disgusting sons of bitches who are involved. As far as prosecution goes, every last one of these people, this report be damned, needs to go under oath and answer some very, very hard questions.
