What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles.
In this episode we're picking up, where we left off.
With a CBS article titled,
The Night Jeffrey Epstein claimed his cellmate tried to kill him.
And again, this article was authored by Dan,
Ruslinic, Cara Tabachnik, and Graham Cates.
Epstein told a different officer that on the eve of the July incident,
his cellmate had gotten a hold of a copy of the New York Daily News, Epstein, a former financial advisor,
Confedant to some of the world's most powerful people and prolific sexual abuser of girls and young women,
said Tartaglioni pointed to a story about Epstein in the paper.
Tartaglioni said it placed his net worth at 77 million, according to Epstein.
That figure matches evaluation for Epstein's New York match incited in multiple articles in the paper that month.
So that's a bit of cooperation, right?
This all came out that month in those articles and all of a sudden Tartaglioni has something to say.
Knows about Epstein's finances?
Wasn't something that was private at that point, so that certainly tracks.
And it certainly fits with the story that Epstein was telling us.
And again, look, I think that Epstein was telling the truth when it comes to what he says happened in that gel cell with Nicholas Tartaglioni.
It all just makes sense.
Everything fits so perfectly.
Now, of course, I won't sit here and tell you that I know for sure because I don't have those receipts.
But in my gut, I know for a fact that we're being lied to and I know for a fact that something went on in that cell that had to do with Jeffrey Epstein being assaulted.
And I'm talking about the first time around.
Now is actual death?
I don't know.
Was this a message?
And then he was told to, you know, you better do it yourself or we'll do it for you like I was saying before.
And that's always one of the theories that really stuck with me.
Because I think it all fits the grander pattern of the kind of people that we're talking about.
And make no mistake.
Those people that we're talking about.
They're not above using systemic failures inside of a jail or a prison that they already know about in advance to set something in motion.
You have to understand the kind of people that we're dealing with here.
And those are the kind of people that make shit like this happen.
Epstein said that he crumpled up the article through it out and turned in for bed.
He told an officer he remembered waking up at 1 a.m. to get a drink of water and walking back to his bed.
The next thing he recalled he said was roughly half an hour later when corrections officers rushed into his cell.
Epstein initially said that he thought he was attacked, but later equivocated.
He asked to be put back in the same cell with Star Taglioni, according to a 2023 report by the Department of Justice Inspector General, but also insisted he would never have tried to kill himself.
He didn't want to be a snitch, guys.
Come on.
He knew that he was going to be in this lock up for quite some time as he fought these charges and he didn't want to get the reputation of being a snitch.
That's exactly what happened here.
Nothing more, nothing less.
So he retracted what he said originally and decided to roll the punches because at that point he understood and understood very clearly that the game had changed.
And that things weren't going to be what they were the last time around when he was arrested.
And that started to dawn on him.
And I think that was a very, very sobering revelation for Jeffrey Epstein.
Whereas before he would have said, look, Star Taglioni did this.
And if you don't do something about it, I'm going to call my people at justice.
Well, those people at justice at this point had already abandoned Epstein because he was a burned asset.
So nobody was rushing in to help him this time around.
In fact, they had cut all ties at this point.
So when you start to look at it from that perspective, some of that fog begins to lift.
And again, I can't say it for sure, right?
I can't sit here and tell you, yeah, that's what happened.
100% here are the receipts.
Yada yada yada can't do that.
But what I can tell you is all the pieces fit.
And it's certainly not the narrative that they gave us.
That certainly didn't happen.
Truth, no way, no how.
So what's the most likely scenario?
My opinion, it's the one we just laid out.
After the incident, Epstein was moved to a room where he was placed on suicide watch and closely monitored for the next 31 hours.
In his first minutes there, he twice sat on the edge of the bed and began moving forward as if he was attempting to fall overhead first, a corrections officer wrote.
Told the stop Epstein responded, okay, I won't do it again and gave the thumbs up.
Another corrections officer assigned to watch over Epstein in the hours following the July 23rd incident was Michael Thomas, according to a document obtained by CBS News.
Thomas is the officer who discovered Epstein dead in his cell on August 10, 2019, according to the Justice Department.
He and another officer were later charged with falsifying documents related to the night of Epstein's death, but those charges were dropped.
Of course they were.
Of course they were.
Nobody charged.
Nobody held responsible.
Just the same old bullshit from the government.
Oh, it was a systemic failure.
We're gonna fix this.
Nothing gets fixed.
Nothing gets changed.
And the song just continues to play on.
And of course that means it's gonna happen again at some point.
They already know they can get away with it now.
So the sky is the fucking limit.
Isn't it?
Because Epstein was on suicide watch after the July 23rd incident, Thomas was required to record a log of observations about Epstein in 15 minute increments.
Like for real.
My guy Thomas over here needs to be completely investigated and so does Tova Noel.
What were they buying?
Did they have any influx of money after this event?
All that stuff is relevant.
My opinion.
And that's why I say once again, we need a special investigator.
We need a neutral party to take a look at what's going on and report back to the American people.
And everybody has to be on the table.
Anybody who was involved.
Bring him in.
Get him under oath.
And if they lie, charge him.
Just like anybody else.
It's the only way to get to the bottom of this because we can't trust the DOJ to do it and not just Trump's DOJ, but the DOJ in general.
They've had how many chances to do this and they've avoided it at all costs.
So all of a sudden we should think that they're gonna do the right thing.
No way.
We need somebody independent of the government who still has the power to subpoena and to bring prosecutions.
That is the only way we're ever gonna get to the bottom of this.
So they're never gonna do it, right?
We're never gonna see that because the idea is to run out the clock.
To make you forget about this, to have you think about other things, move on to the next disaster.
But the truth is too many people have now seen behind the curtain.
And too many people are now demanding the truth.
The notations were released by the Bureau of Prisons in 2023, along with just one entry he made in the log.
A note made at 2.15 a.m. 45 minutes after the incident.
Translation, he broke the law and was never held accountable.
I mean, we're not talking about a guy who's screwed up in order at McDonald's, right?
We're talking about somebody who made a gigantic mistake.
And I don't even think it was a mistake.
I'm gonna go with negligence instead.
A mistake is forgivable.
This isn't a mistake. Looks willful to me.
Now, of course, that could just be me being cynical, right?
But when you look at the whole situation and all of the issues that occurred,
how can you not be cynical about what went down?
15 minutes later, at 2.30 a.m., Thomas wrote,
inmate sitting on bed, trying to remember what happened.
Around that time, a correction supervisor was interviewing Tartaglione about the incident.
Tartaglione said he had given the bottom bunk to Epstein because he was old
and had moved his own mattress to the floor.
Oh, yeah.
What a magnanimous guy, huh?
Nobody's moving their mattress to the floor at MCC.
Sorry.
Tartaglione told the corrections officer he was sleeping with his headphones on
when he felt something hit his legs.
Jeff, what are you doing?
Tartaglione said he asked into the darkness.
He said he turned on the light and found Epstein sitting, slumped on the floor,
leaning to the side with his eyes open, but unresponsive, with fabric around his neck,
according to another officer's memo.
Yeah, fabric you put there.
Who do you think you're kidding?
Again, look, I'm sorry, but I don't believe Nicholas Tartaglione.
And I know I've said that multiple times, but it's worth repeating.
The news out here trying to massage this dude's reputation or tell you that he's not
a scumbag is crazy.
Tartaglione said he then yelled for gel staff.
Documents reviewed by CBS News do not indicate what steps gel staff took to investigate
Epstein's allegations related to Tartaglione.
In response to questions from CBS News, the Bureau of Prisons said the agency does not provide
information related to investigations.
In other words, go get fucked.
You're not getting any information.
You're not going to know anything about what went down.
And that's just the way it's going to be.
And there's nothing you can do about it.

Welcome to the Mosh Pit.
This is what we've been dealing with now for literally six years.
And let me remind you this is exactly the kind of shit that Cash Patel said he was going to get rid of.
That we were going to have transparency and we were all going to know the deal.
Well, how'd that work out?
The Jell's chief psychologist later speculated to investigators for the inspector general that there were three possible explanations for the incident.
In one version of the event she wrote either Epstein or Tartag Leoni were gaming the system to get something they wanted.
Another explanation was that Epstein I conducted a rehearsal of his eventual suicide.
A third possibility was that, as Epstein initially claimed, he was assaulted.
She told investigators that she considered the third scenario less plausible, although she did not know for certain.
Oh, I'm sure less plausible, huh?
A four-time murderer in the jail cell with Jeffrey Epstein.
But it's not plausible that he attacked him for insert reason here.
They really think you're stupid.
That's what they're banking on that you're stupid and that you're just going to accept whatever kind of bullshit they're serving up.
Epstein remained on suicide watch for a little more than a day.
During that time, inmate volunteers kept logs, briefly documenting check-ins at 15-minute intervals.
The morning updates were largely mundane, inmate Epstein's pacing around, inmate Epstein is hungry, inmate Epstein washed his neck.
By the next evening he became more chatty according to the logs.
Inmate Epstein is talking about finance, inmate Epstein is talking about science, inmate Epstein is talking about math,
inmate Epstein is talking about the prison environment.
Epstein is talking about his experience, teaching mathematics, and physics, one volunteer wrote, in successive updates.
On the morning of July 24th, Epstein's status was downgraded from suicide watch to psychological observation.
That day, a regional administrator, who oversaw more than a dozen jails and prisons as for an explanation of the change.
Inmate's place under psychological observation, as opposed to suicide watch, were considered not imminently suicidal.
He was told. One of the forensic psychologists told investigators it was not healthy for inmates to stay on suicide watch for extended periods of time.
She observed signs of positivity in that Epstein, adamantly, denied suicide.
Even the downgraded status bothered Epstein the record show he insisted to jail staff that he wouldn't try to kill himself.
He denied feeling helpless, he is reporting positive future plans and reasons to live for, one staffer wrote in August 1st report.
He described himself to one source that week as too much of a coward to kill himself, and wondered aloud to another source if the incident had been a prank gone wrong.
The event was expunged from Epstein's official record after the jails disciplinary proceedings failed to prove he committed self-mutilation.
Imagine that shit expunged.
After he allegedly tried to commit suicide in a jail cell with a man there on four homicides, I guess all this information's on Pam Bondi's desk as well, huh?
Right there with the list and everything else she promised.
Following the incident, Epstein expressed concern to the Bureau of Prison employees about being housed back in the same unit, saying he felt it was dangerous.
According to the IG report, Epstein was assigned to new cellmate, Efron Reyes, and moved back on July 30th, nine days later, Reyes was transferred.
As night fell, Epstein found himself without a bunkie, hours later, the early morning quiet of the secure housing unit was once again punctured as corrections officers call for help.
Epstein was once again on the floor of his cell, this time his body was called to the touch.
Now I have no idea how anyone can look at the circumstances surrounding all of this, his death, bleed up to it, and believe the official narrative.
And I think that it takes a whole hell of a lot of gumption for the government to try and pitch this to people who actually know better.
But the truth is they don't care, because they know there's nothing we can do to force the issue.
So instead what they'll do is they'll office gate, they'll kick the can down the road a little bit further, and they'll hope that people forget.
But as I've said a million times at this point, nobody's forgetting, and we're certainly not moving on.
