What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of The Epstein Chronicles.

Now that the Epstein Transparency Act has been passed into law, we're now seeing the trend of

the courts following in line to make sure that they're in compliance with the new law.

And while that certainly is step in the right direction, it's only one part of the issue

because even though this is law now, do we really think the DOJ is going to do the right thing

and release all these files unredacted the way they should or are they going to play games?

My guess is they're going to play games and that's why I've been calling for a special investigator

or a special counsel to take over and do the investigation.

We can't trust the powers that be.

The powers that be or the reason we're in the situation that we're in.

If we could trust them, we wouldn't have this conversation, right?

They would have released all this information a long time ago.

But it's never about being transparent because the second they decide to become transparent,

they're going to lose the narrative and they know if they lose the narrative,

the whole entire thing is going to blow up in their face.

So that's why they're fighting tooth and nail to make sure that this narrative

doesn't become something that they can't contain or control.

And one of their most effective tools is to designate people is crazy.

You know, they'll come out with their push, legacy media, talking heads, whatever,

and call things a conspiracy theory, say nothing ever happened.

And the whole idea is to make the people talking about it look like they're crazy.

So nobody believes it.

But this time, that's not going to work.

And that's because there's too much that has become public already.

So when you have that much information that's already in the public domain,

it's very difficult for them to put that horse back in the barn.

So now it becomes a battle to make sure that they're not, you know, sanitizing things to a point

where it's criminal.

And I don't say that lightly, right?

That's not an allegation to throw around if you don't think it's true.

And I most certainly think it's true.

Does anyone really trust this DOJ to do the right thing?

And I don't just mean under this administration, I'm talking about for years and years now.

And this shit here just puts a spotlight on how crooked and how broken things are.

So in my opinion, there needs to be a special investigator or a special counsel

or somebody that is neutral from this whole thing that is overseeing it.

Because if anyone thinks the justice department wants to tell us the truth,

they're crazy.

Today's article is from CBS News and the headline.

Epstein survivors and Senate Democrats ask for an audit to determine if Epstein files

have been tampered with.

This article was authored by Scott McFarlane.

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's sex crimes and a group of Democratic members of Congress

are asking for an independent review of the Epstein case files to determine whether

any of the records have been tampered with or concealed ahead of the release of those files

by next week. And of course, they'll be pushed back, right?

Oh, it's a big hoax. It's a Democratic plot. And look, I'm not going to sit here and tell you

that the Democrats aren't out of pocket with a lot of the shit they do. They are.

And a lot of the nonsense they get up to is hurtful to the country and the overall discourse.

But when it comes to this, they're right. They're 100% on point. How can we trust anything

that's going on? We've had Trump say that the Democrats sanitize the paperwork.

And now the Democrats are worried that Trump sanitized it. So how do we meet in the middle?

We get an independent investigator to take a look at all of it. That's what we do.

And that person should have full power to subpoena and refer for criminal charges.

Because in my opinion, that's the only way we're going to get a proper look at what's going on here.

In a letter Thursday to the Justice Department Inspector General Democrats on the Senate Judiciary

Committee asked the Internal Watchdog to undertake a formal review to check for any chain of custody

problems with the Epstein files. Well, that's where they screwed up. The Inspector General,

the same one that ran that shitty report about Epstein's death and about the NPA,

that same Inspector General's office. See, this is what I'm talking about. It's a circular

investigation. If the Democrats meant business, they'd be talking about an independent investigator.

Not some knucklehead from the Inspector General's office who has no power to do shit.

Speaking with CBS News, representatives of some of Epstein survivors have also called for a third

party review to check if any of the record has been scrubbed, softened, or quietly removed before

the public sees it. Under a federal law signed by President Trump last month, the Trump

administrations required to release virtually all files on the government's investigation into

Epstein by December 19th deadline with minimal redactions. Oh, I am sure that that's what's going to

happen. I mean, I am just positive that we're going to get this with minimum redactions.

Said fucking nobody ever. This is going to be so redacted that it's going to look like just a

block of black text and the things that aren't going to be redacted. My guess is are things that we've

seen already. Three federal judges have also issued rulings this month to unseal grand jury

records in the criminal investigation into Epstein and his convicted co-conspirator, Glenn Maxwell,

well, at least they called her the right thing here. At least they said she's a convicted

co-conspirator. Instead of associate or friend or a girlfriend, like what? Tell me you have no

idea what you're talking about without telling me. It's like the morons who still refer to

her as a socialite. The rulings have opened the door for large batches of investigative material

to be publicly released by the administration for the first time. Well, considering we have the

great truth-seeker poundy in office and Cash Patel, I'm sure we're going to be fine, right?

They're the most transparent people in history. I mean, just ask them. They'll tell you they are the

most transparent people to ever sit in those chairs to ever hold those offices to ever walk the earth.

And anybody asking for Epstein files and anybody demanding more transparency is just hostile,

right? You're just an enemy of the state. Maybe a little drone strike you next,

just like they're doing in the Caribbean. Maybe that's the next step. Ask questions about Epstein at

eight and a Reaper drone's blowing your house up at nine. The impending release follows

months of pressure from both parties for the Trump administration to disclose more information

on the government's Epstein probes. The financier, pedophile, pleaded guilty to stay charges in

Florida in the 2000s and was charged with child sex trafficking in 2019, but died by suicide,

allegedly, and federal custody while awaiting trial. Yo, CBS news won't believe a thing that the

administration says, but they're sure that Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide. Say what now?

Thursday's letter from Senate Democrats, including Senator Adam Schiff of California,

pointed to allegations that Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Cash Patel

ordered a massive review of the Epstein-related records, which resulted in around 1,000 FBI

personnel working 24 hour shifts and a required personnel to identify any mention of President Trump.

So that's what my tax dollars are being used for. That's cool. Nothing like making sure we sanitize

the documents to protect the president. Nothing says America first like protecting your own ass.

To reassure the American public that any files released have not been tampered with or concealed,

the chain of custody forms associated with records and evidence in the Epstein files

must be accounted for, analyzed and released, the request read.

The allegations that federal workers looked for mentions of Mr. Trump was initially

levelled over the summer by the Senate Judiciary Committee's Vice Chair Democratic Senator

Dick Durbin, who cited information his office had received. Durbin was one of the

signatories of Thursday's letter. The New York Times later reported that the FBI looked for

references to Mr. Trump and other high-profile people. Whether it's slots or live dealers,

Hi, my name is Mira Pataston. I'm an author and I'm an activist. And GoFundMe is my go-to platform

for fundraising. The first GoFundMe I did was to raise money for a chat book or a collection of

poetry and essays and short stories. So we started to go fund me and our goal was 7,000. What I've

learned is so special about GoFundMe is that it's a whole collection of people offering anything

from like $4 to $400. And each time you get a ping that someone donated, even if it is just

$4. It's so exciting. So if you have a goal and you get there, you can keep making it bigger and

bigger and bigger. We did go past our goal. It was amazing. GoFundMe is the world's number one

Hi, this is Alex Cantrowitz. I'm the host of Big Technology podcast, a longtime reporter and an

on-air contributor to CNBC. And if you're like me, you're trying to figure out how artificial

intelligence is changing the business world and our lives. So each week on Big Technology,

I bring on key actors from companies building AI tech and outsiders trying to influence it.

Asking where this is all going. They come from places like Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon,

and plenty more. So if you want to be smart with your wallet, your career choices,

and meetings with your colleagues and at dinner parties, listen to Big Technology podcast

wherever you get your podcasts. But that means is people that are paying the bills, donors to

Trump, friends of Trump, people that have been big supporters of intelligence, whatever it might be.

Those are the people that are going to be protected. They don't care about the survivors.

They don't care about anybody but themselves and the institution. And the sooner folks realize

that the better off everyone's going to be. The Justice Department did not immediately respond

a request for comment. The Inspector General's Office did not comment to CBS News. And generally

does not speak about its communication with Congress. In other words, no oversight. They get to do

whatever they want and we're supposed to trust them. Sorry, I don't trust them. There's a reason

that we spent so much time going through those stupid SOIG reports. And the reason is so you all

know that you've been bullshitted. Unlike everybody else, I'm not just coming here talking shit.

I like to come with receipts. And like I always tell you, I only talk about the shit I can prove

or think I can prove. Not the shit I know. If I talked about the shit I know, I'd sound like

one of these crazies because that's how crazy this story is. Spencer Coven, a civil attorney who has

represented a group of Epstein survivors, has also raised concerns about the trustworthiness

of the records that are set to be released. Coven told CBS News,

there should absolutely be concern about the chain of custody of the Epstein files.

Those records have passed through too many hands, behind too many closed doors,

for anyone to simply assume they're intact, unaltered or complete. Coven said,

survivors have endured decades of secrecy, broken promises, and institutional protection

of powerful men. They should not now be asked to trust a process with no independent verification.

And is he wrong? Is he wrong about any of that? Not in my opinion.

I think that all of that's true. How can anyone trust the process? You keep telling people to

trust the process and then you keep screwing them. So why would anyone believe anything that the

DOJ has to say about Epstein? The Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats are asking for the Inspector

General to audit the handling of the case files and publicly release results of the audit by

January 19th. Shift's letter to the Inspector General said the group would like answers to several

questions, including how many individuals have obtained custody over the materials ahead of the

release. In July, the Justice Department moved to one seal grand jury material in the Epstein

Maxwell investigation, but those initial bids were denied because federal rules required grand

jury proceedings and evidence to be kept secret. However, after the passage of the Epstein

Files Transparency Act, the Justice Department argued that the law should override grand jury secrecy

rules. Well, yeah, that's the law, right? Not really that difficult. There's a new law on the books.

We have to follow the law. And it doesn't mean that every set of grand jury documents from here on

out is going to be released. It's these specific documents because there is cause. There is a great

public interest in what went down. So when that outweighs the secrecy clause, you're going to get the

documents, especially when you have the new law on the books. That certainly gives them the inroads

they needed. And that's why we're at the point where we're at. But previously, they weren't going to

release these files and the Trump administration knew that. So that's why they were going after the

grand jury documents instead of going after regular documents in their own possession already.

But what this does is cut down the bullshit, right? Now they can't rely on the courts to gum it up.

So we'll see which way it all goes. And like usual, we'll be here every step of the way.
