1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,080 The congressional order requiring the Department of 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,840 Justice to release the Epstein files was billed as a victory 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,040 for transparency last month when it was signed into law. 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,200 Since the files started being released, a day laid in small 5 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,680 increments and with heavy redactions, it's become a 6 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,480 chaotic spectacle of incompetence, technical failure, 7 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:26,000 and selective disclosure, making the most unhinged conspiracy 8 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,120 theorists look reasonable. On Christmas Eve, it was 9 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,680 announced that additional files had been uncovered and that it 10 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,200 would likely take a few more weeks for the full data set to 11 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,040 be released. The scale of the omission is 12 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,120 staggering. To date, the Department of 13 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,920 Justice has released just 11,000 and 34 document. 14 00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:50,320 Yet with this sudden request for delay, the department admitted 15 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,240 that it has uncovered over a million additional records that 16 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,640 still need to be reviewed. This admission is a humiliating 17 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,760 reversal for Attorney General Pam Bondi, who in February told 18 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,440 the public that the relevant files were sitting on her desk 19 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,840 and ready for review. This pivot, from ready to 20 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:14,440 release to too much to process confirms the worst fears of 21 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,720 transparency advocates. Simple math dictates that if a 22 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,680 million documents remain hidden, the public has seen perhaps 1% 23 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,520 of the total cash. Rather than the flood of clarity 24 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,360 Congress demanded, we've received a muddy trickle, A 25 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,120 disparity that critics argue amounts to a deliberate failure 26 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,800 to comply with the law. The incompetence was absolute. 27 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,760 Ordinary members of the public quickly discovered that some 28 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,920 redacted text could be revealed by simply copying and pasting 29 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,520 the document into a different format. 30 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,520 These digital slip UPS exposed not sensitive victim data, but 31 00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:00,160 financial records and details that the law explicitly forbade 32 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,680 the DOJ from hiding, proving that the censorship was often 33 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,320 protecting reputations, not victim. 34 00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:12,480 Beyond the political theatre, genuine scandals have emerged 35 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,880 from the recently released files that contradict the official 36 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,560 narrative that we've been fed for months. 37 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,200 Administration officials like Attorney General Pam Bondi and 38 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:27,200 FBI Director Kash Patel insisted that there was no client list 39 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,120 and nothing to see in the files. Patel went further, telling 40 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,520 Congress that there's no credible information, none that 41 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,720 Epstein trafficked women to others. 42 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,280 The documents prove otherwise. Buried within the release is a 43 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,120 revelation that federal agents identified and attempted to 44 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,600 contact 10 potential Co conspirators immediately after 45 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,520 Epstein's 2019 arrest. While most names remain 46 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,960 redacted, the existence of this list confirms that suspects 47 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,080 beyond Epstein and Shalane Maxwell have been on the FBIS 48 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,400 radar for years. Equally damning is the 49 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,720 revelation of catastrophic institutional failure. 50 00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:14,680 We now know the FBI was alerted to Epstein's abuse as far back 51 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:20,040 as 1996, when Maria Farmer reported that the then 43 year 52 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:24,920 old financier had stolen nude photos of her sisters aged just 53 00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:28,600 12 and 16. The FBI report notes that 54 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,200 Epstein was believed to have sold the pictures to potential 55 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,040 buyers, a chilling detail that hints at the a very trafficking 56 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:41,080 network Patel denied existed. These revelations, importantly 57 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,720 shatter a lingering myth perpetuated by commentators like 58 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,800 Megyn Kelly, that Epstein was merely a Playboy who took 59 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,880 advantage of willing teenagers dazzled by his wealth and 60 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,880 celebrity connections. The files depict a much nastier, 61 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,080 more dangerous reality, a predator who threatened to burn 62 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,440 down a teenage victim's house if she spoke out. 63 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,760 And who's his victims were? Often small children, not party 64 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,480 girls. Then there are the bizarre 65 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,400 anomalies that feel pulled from a tabloid fever dream. 66 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,800 Buried in the cache was a suicide note purportedly written 67 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,600 by Epstein to disgrace gymnastics doctor Larry Nasser, 68 00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:27,120 containing grotesque claims about the US president. 69 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,760 The Department of Justice has officially labeled the letter's 70 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:35,000 contents unfounded and false, and there are many reasons to 71 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,080 believe that it might be a hoax. But they released it anyway, a 72 00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:43,160 decision that's only fuelled the very speculation they seem to 73 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,440 want to discourage. To tell the full story, we have 74 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,480 to look far beyond the government's muddy trickle of 75 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,240 information. We'll combine the Department of 76 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,080 Justice files with new data and photos released by the House 77 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,520 Oversight Committee and groundbreaking reporting from 78 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,240 the New York Times. While the FBI sat on its hands, 79 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,040 reporters were digging through archives interviewing people who 80 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,360 had worked with Epstein and knew him socially to reveal the true 81 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,480 source of his wealth, exposing him not as a financial wizard, 82 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,720 but instead as a relentless scammer who built his empire on 83 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:24,000 a lifetime of frauds, Ponzi like schemes, and the betrayal of 84 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,320 friends. The contrast between the 85 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,280 investigative success of the press and the abject failure of 86 00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:34,120 the state is damning. The government has all the tools 87 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,320 needed to uncover the truth, the power to compel testimony, the 88 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,680 ability to track the movement of every cent through the banking 89 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,000 system, and full access to the IRS tax records. 90 00:05:46,280 --> 00:05:50,400 Yet it was journalists, not federal agents, who connected 91 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,240 the dots. It's crazy that the ball has 92 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,280 been dropped like this on such a high profile case. 93 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,520 And it's no wonder that conspiracy theories have 94 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,920 bloomed, because as the files now prove, an actual conspiracy 95 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,760 existed. Today, I'm going to break down 96 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,320 the new data releases in three parts. 97 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,360 First, we'll examine the new evidence of Co conspirators and 98 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,680 the specific warnings that the FBI ignored in the 1990s. 99 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,440 Second, we'll contrast the government's chaotic, redacted 100 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,960 dump with the forensic accounting done by journalists 101 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,680 that finally explains the mechanics of Epstein's wealth. 102 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,280 And finally, we'll ask the question that the DOJ is 103 00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:37,800 seemingly desperate to avoid. If the government knew in 1996 104 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:42,800 what Jeffrey Epstein was up to, why did it take 23 years and a 105 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,600 billion dollars in stolen money to stop him? 106 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,360 For months, the official line from Washington had been that 107 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,040 the conspiracy began and ended with Jeffrey Epstein and his 108 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,400 jailed accomplice, Elaine Maxwell. 109 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,720 The administration insisted that the circle of guilt was a closed 110 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,680 loop. In sworn testimony to Congress, 111 00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:07,400 FBI Director Kash Patel was unequivocal. 112 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,880 Who, if anyone, did Epstein traffic these young women to 113 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,760 besides himself? Himself, there is no credible 114 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,680 information. None. 115 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,240 If there were, I would bring the case yesterday. 116 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,560 This claim strained credulity from the moment it was uttered. 117 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,640 The public has long known, thanks to leaks like the 118 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,640 birthday book, that Epstein did not operate in a vacuum. 119 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,880 But what was once strong suspicion is now documented 120 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,560 fact. The files prove unequivocally 121 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,760 that Patel's testimony was at best a catastrophic failure of 122 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:47,360 memory and at worst a lie. Buried in this weeks chaotic 123 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,720 document dump is a heavily redacted e-mail chain from July 124 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,960 2019, sent just hours after Epstein arrest. 125 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,560 In it, an FBI agent asks A colleague for an update on the 126 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,200 status of the 10 Co conspirators. 127 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,800 This is not speculation, it's a time stamped federal record. 128 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,600 The e-mail confirms that from the very first moments of the 129 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:17,640 2019 investigation, the FBI had identified 10 specific targets. 130 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,400 So who were they and why were they never charged? 131 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:27,600 The DOJ has redacted 7 of the 10 names, citing privacy concerns, 132 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:32,320 A justification the new law explicitly forbids for anyone 133 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,960 other than victims. However, three of the names were 134 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,320 left visible. Jelaine Maxwell, Jean Luc 135 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,600 Brunel, the French modelling agent who died in prison 136 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,840 awaiting trial, and Leslie Wexner, the billionaire retail 137 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:52,480 tycoon behind Victoria's Secret. Wexner's inclusion is explosive. 138 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:57,120 For decades, he was Epstein's primary patron, entrusting the 139 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,200 former math teacher with total control over his billions. 140 00:09:01,560 --> 00:09:05,920 While Wexner severed his financial ties in 2007 and 141 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,320 claims that he was never a target of the federal 142 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:13,360 investigation, his presence on a verified FBI suspect list 143 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,160 suggests that agents believe that the money trail and the 144 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:21,680 abuse trail were intertwined. The most chilling evidence of a 145 00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:26,880 wider conspiracy comes not from 2019, but from 1996. 146 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,680 Included in the files is a police report filed by Maria 147 00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:33,520 Farmer, an artist who worked for Epstein. 148 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,760 She told the FBI explicitly that Epstein and Maxwell had stolen 149 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:43,960 nude photographs of her younger sisters, aged 12 and 16, that 150 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,040 she had taken for her own personal artwork. 151 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,960 Crucially, the report notes that Epstein was believed to have 152 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,880 sold the pictures to potential buyers. 153 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,000 This single sentence destroys the lone wolf narrative. 154 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,720 If Epstein and Maxwell were selling photographs like this, 155 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,120 then there were buyers. And if the FBI knew about 156 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,520 potential buyers of this type of material in 1996 and Co 157 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:14,360 conspirators in 2019, the question is no longer if others 158 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,960 were involved. The question is why the most 159 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:21,120 powerful law enforcement agency in the world decided to stop 160 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,480 looking for them. While the Co conspirators list 161 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:29,080 points to a cold heart cover up, much of the release resembles a 162 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,520 hall of mirrors, a chaotic junk drawer of evidence that mixes 163 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,240 genuine leads with bizarre anomalies. 164 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,480 Take the suicide note. Buried in the cache is a letter 165 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,600 purportedly written by Epstein to Larry Nasser, the disgraced 166 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:49,000 gymnastics doctor. Nasser is a true monster who was 167 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,920 convicted of abusing more than 150 women and girls and 168 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,280 sentenced to 175 years in prison. 169 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,880 Some estimates of the number of victims goes beyond 300. 170 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:06,280 Dear Lane, the note reads. As you know by now, I've taken 171 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,800 the short route home. Good luck. 172 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,960 We shared one thing, our love and caring for young ladies and 173 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,360 the hope they'd reach their full potential. 174 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:20,000 Our president also shares our love of young nubile girls. 175 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,680 It then makes a lewd reference to the president's treatment of 176 00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:28,240 women and signs off. Life is unfair, yours, Jay 177 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,520 Epstein. While the existence of a letter 178 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,800 to Larry Nasser has been public knowledge since 2023, when The 179 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:40,080 Associated Press reported on a return to sender envelope 180 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,360 turning up in the jail's mail room, there are compelling 181 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,240 reasons to doubt the documents. Authenticity. 182 00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:48,880 First. Investigators have never 183 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,120 established a clear link between Epstein and Nasser. 184 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,000 So why would Epstein choose to send his final thoughts to a 185 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,560 stranger in a different prison rather than to a friend or 186 00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:02,720 family Family member? Second, the letter was 187 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:07,000 postmarked 3 days after Epstein's death, which could 188 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,120 theoretically be explained by the delays inherent in the 189 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,760 prison mail inspection system. However, the markings indicate 190 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,440 it was mailed from Northern Virginia, hundreds of miles from 191 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,880 the Metropolitan Correctional Centre in Manhattan, where 192 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,960 Epstein died. Even if the note was written by 193 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,160 Epstein, he would have known that it would be read by the 194 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:33,160 prison mailing system and may be given extra attention after his 195 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,160 death. So even if authentic, the note 196 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,800 could still have been a final act of revenge on his old friend 197 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,000 Trump. The DOJ may have dismissed the 198 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,800 note as a forgery based on handwriting analysis, but it's 199 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,720 contradictions guarantee it'll be dissected by conspiracy 200 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,360 theorists for decades to come. It feeds the conspiracy that 201 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,160 there was a celebrity ring of abusers who were all in touch 202 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,840 with each other. But it also contradicts the 203 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,440 conspiracy that many believe that Epstein was murdered in 204 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,240 prison. To silence him, the Department 205 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,600 of Justice took the unusual step of enabling the letter unfounded 206 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,360 and false upon release, yet included it anyway. 207 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,120 Then there's the bizarre footage of Epstein appearing to choke 208 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,400 himself in his prison cell, a video that circulated online for 209 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,440 years and is now formally included in the files simply 210 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,720 because someone emailed it to the FBI asking if it was real. 211 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,280 But if the noise is distracting, the silence regarding the 212 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,360 president is deafening. Administration officials have 213 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,640 repeatedly claimed that they're prioritizing transparency, yet 214 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,120 the process has been dogged by accusations of bias. 215 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,560 Internal documents reveal that the FBI referred to the effort 216 00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:57,160 as the Special Redaction Project, an initiative that 217 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:03,240 racked up over $850,000 in overtime costs in a single week 218 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,600 back in March. So who knows what the total cost 219 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:11,320 of the redactions has come to buy now, but the return on that 220 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,480 investment appears to be a sophisticated form of 221 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,080 obstruction. Upon release, users reported a 222 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,400 bizarre technical anomaly. Searching the digital files for 223 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,160 Trump yielded almost 0 results, making it look like the 224 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,000 president didn't appear in the files at all. 225 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,480 People eventually worked out that his name could only be 226 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:37,240 found if you searched for Trump with a space at the end, a 227 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,600 coding glitch that rendered him invisible to the general public. 228 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,040 Meanwhile, specific files, including a photo of a desk in 229 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,800 Epstein's home displaying 2 pictures of the president, were 230 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:54,160 quietly removed from an online database and then re uploaded 231 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,880 only after a public outcry. Perhaps the most telling was the 232 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,040 DO JS framing. When releasing the documents, 233 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,160 the department included an unusually specific disclaimer 234 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,800 warning that the files contained untrue and sensationalist claims 235 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:15,080 about President Trump. No such warning was offered for 236 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,160 the other well known figures mentioned in the files. 237 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,040 And then there's the incompetence. 238 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:26,800 At least 550 pages were released entirely blacked out, a move 239 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,840 that critics argue violates the Epstein Files Transparency Act. 240 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,520 But some of the censorship was as porous as it was 241 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,440 heavy-handed, ordinary members of the public quickly 242 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,280 discovered. But some redactions were merely 243 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,760 black bars placed over live text, which could be revealed by 244 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,760 copy pasting the document into a text file. 245 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:53,880 These hacks didn't all expose sensitive victim data, which was 246 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,760 supposed to be what was being redacted, but instead financial 247 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:02,040 records and details about Epstein's estate, proving that 248 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,040 the censorship was designed to shield the powerful from 249 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,640 embarrassment rather than to protect victims from further 250 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,640 harm. If the technical failures were 251 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,320 absolute, the political weaponization was strategic. 252 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,960 But before we dissect the politics, we must address the 253 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:23,360 sheer scope of the orbit. The files feature a surreal cast 254 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,960 of characters that spans the entire spectrum of the global 255 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,400 elite. The names dragged into the 256 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,160 sunlight range from rock stars like Mick Jagger, Diana Ross and 257 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,400 Michael Jackson. A Jagger was photographed with 258 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,120 Clinton and a redacted image of a woman. 259 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,280 While he hasn't made any statements about the release, 260 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,880 there's no suggestion that he was involved with or aware of 261 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,520 any of the actions of Bill Clinton or Jeffrey Epstein. 262 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,480 There were Hollywood A listers in the files like Kevin Spacey 263 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,840 and Leonardo DiCaprio, Titans of science and industry like Bill 264 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,840 Gates, Gates and Noam Chomsky, and even David Copperfield, the 265 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,240 magician, the creepiest style of entertainer. 266 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,599 It's important to state clearly that appearing in a photograph 267 00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:13,880 with Jeffrey Epstein are flying on his jet does not inherently 268 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:18,079 imply criminal wrongdoing. For many, Epstein was simply a 269 00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:22,040 fixture of the social circuit, a wealthy donor who's sinister 270 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,200 reality was hidden in plain sight. 271 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,680 But for others, the association was far deeper. 272 00:17:28,079 --> 00:17:31,720 Former President Bill Clinton featured heavily in the first 273 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,360 batch of release documents. While the files contain no 274 00:17:35,360 --> 00:17:39,440 evidence of specific crimes, they confirm a long, comfortable 275 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,080 friendship that Clinton has spent years trying to downplay. 276 00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:46,880 He's seen relaxing in hot tubs and swimming with Elaine 277 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:51,360 Maxwell, images that are embarrassing, if not indictable. 278 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,520 Yet for the current White House, embarrassing was not enough. 279 00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:00,640 In a move that stripped away any tense of impartiality, a deputy 280 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:05,000 press secretary tweeted a photo from the files showing Clinton 281 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,080 with Michael Jackson, Diana Ross and three small children. 282 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,400 The children's faces were redacted, implying that they 283 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,720 were possible victims. The implication was a lie. 284 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,400 The photo had been taken at a public charity event, and the 285 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,400 children belonged to Jackson and Diana Ross. 286 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,640 The fact that the White House deputy press secretary felt the 287 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,560 need to manufacture a scandal when the reality of Clinton's 288 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,760 association with Epstein was already damaging enough speaks 289 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:40,080 volumes about how low political figures will go to discredit 290 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,680 each other. We're also left with the 291 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,720 question of whether prior administrations kept these files 292 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,720 sealed not to protect justice, but because Epstein was a 293 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,760 bipartisan embarrassment who compromised everyone he was 294 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,680 involved with. This question of protection then 295 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:03,480 brings us to Alexander Acosta, the former Labour secretary who 296 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,400 is long sad at the centre of the Epstein saga's darkest theory. 297 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,320 As the prosecutor who signed off on Epstein's sweetheart plea 298 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:16,680 deal in 2008, Acosta famously claimed he was told to back off 299 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,680 because Epstein belonged to intelligence and was above his 300 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,120 pay grade. He later denied saying this, but 301 00:19:24,120 --> 00:19:28,000 if true, this suggests that for decades states the US government 302 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,160 didn't just ignore a predator, it shielded one. 303 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,560 The cost of that protection is made viscerally clear in new 304 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,800 photos released by the House Oversight Committee. 305 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:43,360 These images destroy, once again, the party girl myth once 306 00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:46,560 and for all. They show young girls with lines 307 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,080 from the novel Lolita written in black marker across their 308 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,000 bodies, on their chests, feet and spines. 309 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:58,080 It's a grotesque display of branding the literary pretension 310 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,720 into evidence of systematic abuse. 311 00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:04,960 While most of the press has been about Clinton and Trump, the 312 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,960 public figure who emerges most damaged by the new files is not 313 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,800 a politician but a Prince. Or at least a former Prince. 314 00:20:13,120 --> 00:20:17,440 Welcome, peasants. This is diary of a professional 315 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,760 eminent Duke and orator. The documents about Andrew 316 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,400 contain what might be the closest thing to a smoking gun 317 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,360 in the entire release. An e-mail exchange between 318 00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:34,720 Shalane Maxwell and the sender signed simply A, who has widely 319 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,720 been identified as Prince Andrew. 320 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,040 In the emails, the former Prince writes from Balmoral to ask 321 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:45,280 Maxwell if she has found too many new inappropriate friends. 322 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,560 Later discussing an upcoming trip to Peru. 323 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:53,880 Maxwell instructed and associate to organize 2 legged sightseeing 324 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:58,200 for the Prince, specifying that the women should be intelligent, 325 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,680 pretty, fun, and from good families. 326 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,600 The revelation that a member of the royal family was using 327 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,520 official travel budgets to procure women via Epstein and 328 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:13,000 Maxwell is a scandal that no amount of redaction can hide. 329 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,600 If the failure to investigate the sexual crimes was a tragedy, 330 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,680 the failure to investigate the financial crimes was a farce. 331 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,840 I made a whole video about this a while back. 332 00:21:25,120 --> 00:21:28,600 Tracking the sources of Epstein's wealth would answer 333 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,320 many questions about him and his Co conspirators. 334 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,200 If there's anyone capable of working out how a high school 335 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:40,000 math teacher transformed into a billionaire, it should be the 336 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,000 Department of Justice. After all, the government 337 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,840 possesses the ultimate investigative toolkit, the power 338 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,640 to compel testimony, the ability to track the movement of every 339 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,920 cent through the global banking system, and full access to IRS 340 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,600 tax records. Yet in more than 40 years of 341 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,800 suspicious activity, federal agents failed to uncover the 342 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,480 answer to the most basic question of the Epstein saga. 343 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,760 Where did all the money come from? 344 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,840 It took a team of journalists from the New York Times digging 345 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,680 through dusty archives and interviewing forgotten 346 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:20,120 associates, financial victims and ex girlfriends to finally 347 00:22:20,120 --> 00:22:23,320 dismantle the myth. I'll leave a link to the article 348 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,920 in the description as it's well worth a read. 349 00:22:26,360 --> 00:22:30,960 As the journalist point out, for decades Epstein sold himself as 350 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:35,440 a financial Dr. to the ultra wealthy, A renegade genius who 351 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,120 could see patterns in the market that others missed, and an 352 00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:43,640 expert in taxes who could even sell tax planning services to 353 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,960 people as financially sophisticated as private equity 354 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,440 tycoons. The Times revealed a much 355 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,120 grubbier reality. Epstein was no wizard. 356 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:58,400 He was instead a relentless scammer who built his empire on 357 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,720 a foundation of Ponzi like schemes, fraud and a systematic 358 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,240 betrayal of friends. He always seemed to know who to 359 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,240 RIP off and who it was more valuable to keep on as a friend. 360 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:15,440 He started his career at Bear Stearns in 1976, having been 361 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,560 hired by the firm's chairman, Ace Greenberg, specifically 362 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:24,360 because he fit the profile of what Greenberg called PSD. 363 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,440 Someone who was poor, smart and had a deep desire to become 364 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,600 rich. He rose quickly even after he 365 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,320 was caught lying about his education, claiming have degrees 366 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,120 from 2 separate colleges despite never graduating. 367 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,760 He basically treated his resume like a creative writing 368 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,840 assignment, and on Wall Street in the 70s, that was apparently 369 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,360 a passing grade. He got away with a lot of Bear 370 00:23:50,360 --> 00:23:54,000 Stearns because his supervisors knew he was dating the 371 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,120 chairman's daughter and viewed him as protected. 372 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:01,040 Even still, his time on Wall Street didn't last. 373 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,960 He left in 1981 after he was caught breaking federal rules. 374 00:24:06,120 --> 00:24:09,880 He had abused his expense account without consequence, but 375 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,120 he was finally cornered for lending money to a friend in 376 00:24:13,120 --> 00:24:17,680 violation of regulations and funnelling lucrative hot IPO 377 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,520 shares to to a girlfriend. After the firm fined and 378 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:26,040 suspended him, he resigned. After leaving Wall Street, 379 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:30,240 Epstein told People that he was a bounty hunter who could track 380 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:34,960 down lost assets, but the reality was often just fraud. 381 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,440 In 1982, for instance, he convinced an acquaintance named 382 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:44,040 Martin Stroll to invest roughly 10% of his net worth, around 383 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:50,120 $450,000, into a crude oil deal. The money vanished and Epstein 384 00:24:50,120 --> 00:24:54,360 essentially ghosted him, at one point sending Stroll a single 385 00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:58,160 quart of oil as a mockery when he demanded proof of the 386 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,360 investment. He then moved on to partner with 387 00:25:01,360 --> 00:25:05,760 Stephen Hoffenberg at a firm called Towers Financial, being 388 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,280 paid $25,000 a month as a consultant. 389 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,360 Hoffenberg would later claim that Epstein helped orchestrate 390 00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:17,320 the massive Ponzi scheme there that defrauded investors of 391 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:21,680 nearly $500 million. Hoffenberg went to prison and 392 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,920 Epstein walked free. He also used the facade of high 393 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:30,400 stakes corporate rating to mask simple market manipulation. 394 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:35,600 In 1988, he and some partners executed a pump and dump 395 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,840 strategy with a chemical company called Pennwalt, driving up the 396 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,920 stock price with a takeover bid. They then sold their shares for 397 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:48,360 a large profit, but Epstein refused to return the investment 398 00:25:48,360 --> 00:25:52,120 to the friends he had recruited to fund the deal, effectively 399 00:25:52,120 --> 00:25:55,520 stealing their capital. His biggest source of wealth, 400 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,960 however, was retail billionaire Leslie Wexner. 401 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,680 Despite warnings from Wexner's own financial advisor, who told 402 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,480 the billionaire he smelled a rat, Epstein managed to gain 403 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,120 power of attorney over Wexner's entire fortune. 404 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,840 Wexner later claimed that Epstein misappropriated vast 405 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:19,120 sums of his money, which Epstein used to buy Mansion's planes and 406 00:26:19,120 --> 00:26:22,120 perhaps most importantly, credibility. 407 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,280 He used his access to Wexner to open doors to the highest 408 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:30,480 corridors of power, infiltrating the Clinton White House and 409 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,560 sitting on boards for prestigious institutions like 410 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:38,160 Rockefeller University. The documents also show just how 411 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,240 close he got to the establishment through the people 412 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,280 he trusted to manage his estate. Newly released Justice 413 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,840 Department documents revealed that two of the biggest names in 414 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:53,120 finance and policy were named as executors in his wills. 415 00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:58,320 Jess Staley, the former Barclay CEO, was listed as an executor 416 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:03,720 in wills from 2013 and 2014. This compounds the scrutiny that 417 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:08,120 Staley faced for being banned from the UK banking industry for 418 00:27:08,120 --> 00:27:12,320 acting without integrity regarding his ties to Epstein. 419 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,000 Even Larry Summers, the former U.S. 420 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:20,480 Treasury Secretary, was named as a successor executor in the 2014 421 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,760 Well. While Summers claims he had 422 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,800 absolutely no knowledge of this and is deeply ashamed of the 423 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:31,440 association, his inclusion in the document highlights just how 424 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,320 effective Epstein's fraud really was. 425 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,920 In the end, Epstein didn't get rich because he was a market 426 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,840 genius. He got rich because regulators 427 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,440 looked the other way while he looted the accounts of those who 428 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,720 trusted him. If money was the fuel, the 429 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:53,160 destination was legitimacy. The New York Times investigation 430 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:57,160 makes it clear that Epstein didn't just want to be rich, he 431 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,960 wanted to be untouchable. And to do that, he needed to 432 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:05,240 embed himself so deeply in the establishment that no one would 433 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,160 dare question him. His most ambitious target was 434 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:13,880 the Clinton White House. In February 1993, just weeks 435 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,800 after Bill Clinton was inaugurated, Epstein walked into 436 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:22,480 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. alongside Leslie Wexner. 437 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,520 He didn't just show up empty handed, either. 438 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,400 Epstein had become a political donor, having contributed 439 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:34,040 $10,000 to help refurbish the White House, a donation that 440 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,000 secured him a spot at a reception with the press 441 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,280 president. Obviously, nowadays presidential 442 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,520 meetings are much more expensive and paid for in crypto. 443 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,360 Money was only part of the equation. 444 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:53,240 He also used people as currency. The Times reports that Epstein 445 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,000 leveraged a connection with Lynn Forrester, a successful 446 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,880 executive who would later marry into the Rothschild family. 447 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:05,200 Epstein reportedly convinced her that he could help her in her 448 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,240 divorce settlement, insisting that he was the only one who 449 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:13,000 could protect her assets. Through Forrester, who was an 450 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,760 appointee to the White House Advisory Commission, Epstein had 451 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:20,160 his foot in the door. The strategy worked, and by 452 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:24,840 1995, Epstein was close enough to the president that Clinton 453 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,720 wrote a personal Get well soon. No to Epstein's mother 454 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:30,760 scrolling. Hang in there. 455 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,720 On a yellow posted note that Epstein kept, once he had 456 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:39,320 political access, he aimed for social prestige, setting his 457 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,360 sights on the Rockefeller family. 458 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,760 Using his foundation, funded largely by other people's money, 459 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,480 Epstein began donating heavily to Rockefeller University and 460 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,080 the Trilateral Commission, buying himself a seat at the 461 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,880 table. In 1995, David Rockefeller 462 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,520 welcomed Epstein to the board of Rockefeller University. 463 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,800 He parlayed this into yet another lie, telling people that 464 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,040 he managed money for the Rockefellers, a claim that the 465 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:13,000 families actual financial advisors say was completely 466 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,960 false. Perhaps the most strategic 467 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,600 relationship he purchased was with the legal scholar Alan 468 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,680 Dershowitz. In 1996, Epstein met Dershowitz 469 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:27,240 in Martha's Vineyard, dropping names of Harvard elites like 470 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,320 Larry Summers. He worked hard to ingratiate 471 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:34,760 himself, even flying Dershowitz to Ohio to a birthday party for 472 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,600 Les Wexner. But the Times uncovered A 473 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,640 transaction that was far more significant than a party invite. 474 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,680 Epstein had convinced a hedge fund manager to let Dershowitz 475 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,120 invest in his fund. When the fund suffered massive 476 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:53,280 losses and wiped out Dershowitz's investment, Epstein 477 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,480 stepped in. He bullied the fund manager into 478 00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,640 making Dershowitz whole, threatening to pull Wexner's $30 479 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:05,240 million investment from the fund if the fund manager didn't sort 480 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,360 it out. The fees on Wexner's investment 481 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:12,320 more than covered the cost of making Dershowitz whole, so it 482 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,800 went through. It was a masterstroke of 483 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,920 manipulation. By using Wexner's money as 484 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:23,640 leverage, Epstein ensured that a prominent legal mind owed him a 485 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:27,040 big favour. That favour paid dividends years 486 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:31,800 later when Epstein was finally arrested in 2005 in Florida, 487 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:36,000 Dershowitz helped engineer the now infamous sweetheart deal 488 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,400 that allowed Epstein to escape federal prosecution and serve a 489 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,480 light sentence. In hindsight, it wasn't just 490 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:49,360 generosity, it was an insurance policy paid for with stolen 491 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,400 money. In the end, when you step back 492 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:56,480 and look at the reality exposed by these documents, you're left 493 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,240 with a single uncomfortable realization. 494 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,760 Jeffrey Epstein wasn't a ghost in the machine. 495 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,840 He was a product of it. Perhaps the most haunting quote 496 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,480 in the New York Times investigation comes from Michael 497 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,320 Tenenbaum. Tenenbaum was the senior 498 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:18,000 executive at Bear Stearns who supervised Epstein's early rise 499 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,880 after Ace Greenberg hired him. Looking back on the man he 500 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:26,240 promoted, the college dropout who lied his way into a job and 501 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:30,080 then scammed his way into a fortune, Tenenbaum admitted. 502 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,800 I didn't realize that I was creating one of the monsters of 503 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,320 Wall Street. Of course, he didn't do it 504 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,320 alone. It took a village of 505 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,480 billionaires, bankers and politicians to raise this 506 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,720 monster. And that brings us to the 507 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,000 uncomfortable truth that I've spoken about in my previous 508 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,600 videos. The Epstein files are the 509 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:54,240 ultimate proof that there's a 2 tier justice system in the 510 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,680 United States. One set of rules for you and me, 511 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,560 and a completely different set for the well connected elites. 512 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,640 For years this scandal has been treated like a political 513 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:10,080 football, but the reality is that both parties had reasons to 514 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,280 keep these files under lock and key. 515 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,360 On the right, you had Republicans desperate to cover 516 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,960 up Donald Trump's 15 year friendship with a man he once 517 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,760 called a terrific guy. On the left, you had Democrats 518 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:26,280 willing to turn a blind eye to Bill Clinton's association with 519 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:30,560 Epstein, largely to protect Hillary Clinton when she was 520 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:35,200 seen as the future of the party. Today, the Clintons are seen as 521 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,960 being less politically relevant, and for that reason, the shield 522 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,040 is slipping. A newly released e-mail from a 523 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:46,720 federal prosecutor reveals that flight logs show Trump flew on 524 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:51,240 Epstein's private jet many more times than previously reported, 525 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:55,240 including on flights where Julaine Maxwell was a passenger. 526 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,320 We have to remember that what we're looking at today is just 527 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,200 the tip of the iceberg. The files that have been 528 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,800 released so far are only a fraction of the total evidence. 529 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,600 We also need to ask serious questions about the redactions 530 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,360 that are in place. Are these documents being 531 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,880 blacked out to protect victims, or are they being blacked out to 532 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,280 protect the personal reputations of important people? 533 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:24,239 There is a final bitter irony buried in the files from the US 534 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,800 Virgin Islands. In 1999, when Epstein was 535 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,360 applying for the tax breaks that would save him millions. 536 00:34:31,639 --> 00:34:34,639 He was was asked if he would consider teaching a course at 537 00:34:34,639 --> 00:34:38,320 the local university. Epstein replied that he would 538 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,920 love to. He said that his priority would 539 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:45,040 be to educate young people on the ethics of business. 540 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,520 He told the Commission the ethics of business is very 541 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:52,400 difficult nowadays. Epstein teaching a course like 542 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,639 this is a little bit like the iceberg teaching a course on 543 00:34:55,639 --> 00:34:58,800 maritime safety for Jeffrey Epstein. 544 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,520 Ethics weren't difficult. They were non existent. 545 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,360 And until we see the rest of these files and until something 546 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,520 is done about the two tier justice system that protected 547 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,240 them, the story isn't really over. 548 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,880 Thanks for tuning into this week's podcast, with special 549 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,480 thanks to our supporters on Patreon whose financial support 550 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,360 keeps this going. Have a great week and talk to 551 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:28,160 you again soon. Bye, yeah.
