NEW JERSEY CRIMINAL PODCAST - EPISODE 2: EPSTEIN COVER-UP

"Two Presidents, One Network, and the Biggest Cover-Up in Modern History"

The Definitive Investigation

[Intro Music Fades]

NJCP (00:09)

Welcome back to the New Jersey Criminal Podcast. I'm Tom, and if you listened to our first Epstein episode, you heard the foundation - how a college dropout became an international arms dealer, money launderer, and intelligence asset. You heard about his training by Adnan Khashoggi and Sir Douglas Lees, his mysterious protection from prosecution, and how he built what prosecutors called a "sexual pyramid scheme."

But that was just the setup. Today, we're diving into something far more explosive - and far more current.

Because as we sit here in August 2025, we're not just watching the aftermath of Jeffrey Epstein. We're watching one of the most brazen cover-ups in American political history play out in real time. And it involves not one, but two American presidents - Bill Clinton and Donald Trump.

[Sound Effect: Phone recording click]

What I'm about to share with you comes from extensive investigative work by Whitney Webb documented in "One Nation Under Blackmail Volume 2," current media coverage from sources like Joe Rogan's interview with former CIA officer Mike Baker (Episode 2355), Ian Carroll's independent analysis titled "Cancel Ian Carroll: The Epstein Cover-Up," detailed podcast discussions by Thomas Ritter and Emily citing Daniel Halper's book "Clinton, Inc.," comprehensive discussions featuring experts like Darrell Cooper, Maria Farmer, Dave Smith, Andrew Bustamante, and Josie Ensor, plus breaking news from NPR, CNBC, CNN, and other major outlets. We're going to examine how both Clinton and Trump were compromised by this network, how that compromise is affecting American policy today, and why people in power are working overtime to make you forget Jeffrey Epstein ever existed.

But first, let's talk about some very recent developments that show this story is far from over.

BREAKING: THE GHISLAINE MAXWELL PRISON TRANSFER

[Sound Effect: News alert chime]

Just this week, on August 1st, 2025, Jeffrey Epstein's accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell was quietly transferred from a low-security federal prison in Tallahassee, Florida to an even more comfortable minimum-security prison camp in Bryan, Texas. As reported simultaneously by NPR, CNBC, and CNN, this transfer came without any notification to Epstein victims - a move that prompted immediate outrage from survivors.

Annie Farmer, Maria Farmer, and the family of late victim Virginia Giuffre issued a joint statement to CNBC:

"This move smacks of a cover up. President Trump has sent a clear message today: Pedophiles deserve preferential treatment and their victims do not matter."

[From NPR reporting, August 1, 2025]

Let me break down what makes this transfer so suspicious:

First, the timing. The transfer came just days after Maxwell met for hours with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche - who happens to be Trump's former criminal defense lawyer - in what was described as the first time anyone from the Department of Justice had ever formally interviewed her. According to her attorney David Oscar Markus, Blanche asked Maxwell about "maybe 100 different people" connected to the Epstein network.

Second, the destination. Maxwell has been moved to Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas, the same facility housing other white-collar criminals like Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes and "Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" star Jen Shah. These minimum-security federal prison camps house inmates the Bureau of Prisons considers the lowest security risk. Some don't even have fences.

[CNBC reporting details]

But here's the kicker: Under normal Bureau of Prisons policy, Maxwell - as a convicted sex offender - should be ineligible for such a facility. Sex offenders must be kept in at least low-level security prisons. Someone had to give her a waiver. Someone at the very top of the administration had to approve moving a convicted child sex trafficker to what victims are calling a "luxury prison."

[Victim statement to CNBC]

As the victims stated:

"Ghislaine Maxwell is a sexual predator who physically assaulted minor children on multiple occasions, and she should never be shown any leniency. Yet, without any notification to the Maxwell victims, the government overnight has moved Maxwell to a minimum security luxury prison in Texas."

The administration's response? A senior official told NBC News:

"Any false assertion this individual was given preferential treatment is absurd. Prisoners are routinely moved in some instances due to significant safety and danger concerns."

Safety concerns? For a woman who trafficked children for powerful elites? Who's threatening her - the victims she helped destroy, or the powerful men she could still expose?

Because here's the thing - if you care enough to look, you'll see something is still there.

CHAPTER 1: THE BLUEPRINT - HOW JEFFREY EPSTEIN WAS TRAINED

[Sound Effect: Archival news clips, international ambiance]

Before we dive into the current cover-up, we need to understand how Jeffrey Epstein became Jeffrey Epstein. Because the man didn't emerge from nowhere - he was trained, groomed, and deployed by some of the most sophisticated criminal networks in modern history.

[From Whitney Webb's "One Nation Under Blackmail Volume 2"]

Jeffrey Epstein was born on January 20, 1953, to Paula Nye Stolowski and Seymour Epstein in Brooklyn, New York. His mother was a homemaker, his father a groundskeeper for the New York Parks Department. Nothing in his background suggested he would become one of the most connected men in the world.

But by the 1980s, Epstein was moving in circles that included international arms dealers, intelligence operatives, and billionaire oligarchs. How did a college dropout who briefly taught at Dalton School make that leap?

The answer lies in his training.

[Detailed from Webb's research on Adnan Khashoggi connections]

Epstein's real education came from Adnan Khashoggi, the Saudi arms dealer who was at the center of the Iran-Contra scandal. Khashoggi was no ordinary businessman - he was what intelligence agencies call a "cutout," someone who facilitates transactions that governments can't be seen doing directly.

If Adnan Khashoggi was indeed Epstein's client, as Whitney Webb documents, this suggests that Epstein may have been associated with BCCI - the Bank of Credit and Commerce International - in some capacity. As the Washington Post noted in 1991:

"According to a Hong Kong source with detailed knowledge of China's weapons sales policies, until recently, the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, BCCI, was the bank of choice for the arms exporters."

[From "One Nation Under Blackmail Volume 1" research]

BCCI wasn't just a bank - it was a criminal enterprise that laundered money for arms dealers, drug cartels, and intelligence agencies around the world. It was shut down in 1991 in what prosecutors called "the largest bank fraud in world financial history."

But before it was shut down, BCCI was the financial backbone for covert operations that the CIA couldn't fund through official channels. The weapons sales to Iran that involved Khashoggi during the Iran-Contra period made heavy use of BCCI.

If Epstein worked in what Webb calls a "financial bounty hunter capacity" for Khashoggi, it's very likely that he would have come into contact with BCCI during this period. He would have learned how to move money invisibly, how to create shell companies, how to launder the proceeds of arms sales and other illegal activities.

[Sound Effect: Phone conversations, international dealings]

But Khashoggi wasn't Epstein's only teacher. There was also Sir Douglas Lees, a British businessman with deep ties to both organized crime and intelligence services. Lees taught Epstein the finer points of high-society infiltration - how to present himself, how to gain access to exclusive circles, how to become indispensable to powerful people.

This wasn't just financial training. This was espionage training. Epstein was being taught how to become what intelligence agencies call an "access agent" - someone who can get close to targets and extract information or compromising material.

[From Webb's detailed analysis]

As Webb documents:

"Wexner likely knew more about Epstein than mainstream media reports have led on, and Epstein's connections to arms dealing and Israeli intelligence may have impressed Wexner just as much as, if not more so than, his talents for both legal and illegal financial maneuvers."

Think about what that means. By the time Epstein met Leslie Wexner in the mid-1980s, he wasn't just a financial advisor. He was a trained operative with connections to international arms dealers, money laundering networks, and intelligence services. And Wexner - according to Epstein himself - knew everything.

Epstein reportedly told people:

"Les knows everything about me. He knows every experience I've had."

CHAPTER 2: THE CLINTON BLACKMAIL OPERATION - A DETAILED TIMELINE

[Sound Effect: Oval Office ambiance, ticking clock]

Now let's dive into the first major blackmail operation we can document in detail: the systematic compromise of President Bill Clinton by Israeli intelligence.

This isn't speculation. This isn't conspiracy theory. This is documented in Daniel Halper's book "Clinton, Inc.," corroborated by testimony given to independent counsel, and was also reported in the UK publication "Gideon's Spies" in 1998.

[From Thomas Ritter and Emily podcast transcript, citing Halper's reporting]

Here's the detailed timeline:

February 1997: Clinton meets with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Oval Office. This is a crucial date because everything that follows can be traced back to this meeting.

March 1997: According to testimony Monica Lewinsky gave to the special counsel's office, Clinton's secretary Betty Currie reaches out to Lewinsky to invite her to an Oval Office meeting. Currie tells her Clinton "had something important to tell her."

[From Monica Lewinsky's sworn testimony]

This would turn out to be their final sexual encounter. But Clinton also used this opportunity to tell Lewinsky something that should have made headlines around the world but was buried in the prosecutor's report: a "foreign embassy" had tapped his phone and recorded their conversations.

Think about the implications of this. The President of the United States is telling a White House intern that foreign intelligence has been surveilling their phone sex. Clinton didn't specify which embassy, but the timing - one month after his meeting with Netanyahu - tells the story.

[Detailed from Halper's investigation]

Clinton's response to this revelation is even more damning. He proposes cover stories they could use if confronted with the tapes. His defense: They knew they were being surveilled, so the phone sex was just a "put on for whoever was listening."

Let me say that again: The President of the United States suggested that he and a White House intern performed fake phone sex for the entertainment of a foreign intelligence agency. This is the cover story he thought would work.

April 1997: Netanyahu and Clinton meet again for what's described as a "private visit."

May 1997: Clinton again has Currie invite Lewinsky to the White House. During that visit, he breaks up with her, Lewinsky testified. The relationship is over, but the surveillance - and the blackmail - continues.

[Sound Effect: Meeting room ambiance, tension building]

Fall 1998: Here's where Netanyahu makes his move. Clinton hosts Netanyahu and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat at Wye River, Maryland for peace negotiations. This is the most important Israeli-Palestinian summit in years.

Toward the end of the summit, at 7 AM, after a long night of final negotiations, Netanyahu approaches Clinton privately. He demands the release of Jonathan Pollard - the Israeli spy who'd been in American prison since the 1980s for stealing some of the most sensitive U.S. intelligence and passing it to Israel.

[From Daniel Halper's detailed reporting in "Clinton, Inc."]

This is where Netanyahu deploys his weapon. According to Halper's reporting, based on on-the-record interviews with former officials and hundreds of pages of documents, Netanyahu brought up the sex tapes in the context of the Pollard demand.

Not wanting to directly threaten the powerful American president, Netanyahu tells Clinton that the Israeli government had "thrown the tapes away" - but the very mention of them was enough. It's the same technique we see throughout the intelligence world: plausible deniability while delivering an unmistakable threat.

[From "One Nation Under Blackmail" corroboration]

As Whitney Webb notes in "One Nation Under Blackmail Volume 1":

"Netanyahu was alleged to have used blackmail against Bill Clinton to gain leverage during the Y plantation talks between Israel and Palestine in 1998... Benjamin Netanyahu told Clinton that he had obtained recordings of sexually tinged phone conversations between Clinton and Monica Lewinsky and attempted to use that blackmail to pressure Clinton into pardoning Jonathan Pollard."

[CIA reaction and outcome]

The talks almost collapsed. CIA Chief George Tenet - the same George Tenet who would later tell Alex Acosta that Epstein "belonged to intelligence" - told Clinton he would resign on the spot if Clinton agreed to Netanyahu's terms.

Think about that. The head of the CIA was willing to publicly resign rather than see Israel's blackmail operation succeed. Clinton backed down, agreeing only to "review" Pollard's case.

But the damage was done. Netanyahu had demonstrated that Israel possessed compromising material on the President of the United States. The blackmail had worked - not to free Pollard immediately, but to establish the leverage relationship.

[Long-term implications]

Pollard was eventually freed in 2015 under the Obama administration. On the last day of his first term, Trump pardoned Pollard's handler. Today, Pollard is an outspoken supporter of extremist National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gavir and has called for the full ethnic cleansing of Gaza.

This is the same playbook we see everywhere in the Epstein network: sexual compromise used to control powerful people. And it's the same Netanyahu who visits Washington multiple times per year today, who receives more U.S. military aid than any other nation, who seems to operate with complete impunity.

The blackmail worked. And it's still working today.

CHAPTER 3: THE TRUMP CONNECTION - THE CIRCLED NAMES

[Sound Effect: Papers shuffling, investigative ambiance]

Now let's examine Donald Trump's connection to this network, because the evidence runs much deeper than most people realize - and it's completely documented.

When Jeffrey Epstein's butler, Alfredo Rodriguez, tried to sell Jeffrey Epstein's "black book" to undercover FBI agents in 2009, he didn't just hand over a list of names. Rodriguez circled certain entries - people he considered "co-conspirators" or "material witnesses" to Epstein's crimes.

Donald Trump was circled.

[From court documents and Whitney Webb's research]

Let me be very clear about what this means. Rodriguez wasn't some disgruntled employee making wild accusations. He was Epstein's house manager who had direct, daily access to the operation. He saw who came and went. He saw what happened. And when he tried to sell information to the FBI, he specifically marked Trump as someone involved in the criminal enterprise.

Rodriguez's markings weren't random. As one investigator noted,

"The butler's black book contained the names and contact information of hundreds of people, but Rodriguez only circled a select few - those he believed were directly involved in or witnesses to criminal activity."

Law enforcement has never meaningfully investigated these circled names.

[From Whitney Webb's recent investigative reporting at Unlimited Hangout]

But Trump's connection goes much deeper than just being in the black book. According to Whitney Webb's latest investigative work, Trump has a long-running friendship with Italian businessman Flavio Briatore - dubbed "Italy's Donald Trump."

Briatore is also circled in Epstein's black book. But more importantly, Briatore had extensive ties to organized crime networks that aided Epstein's rise to power.

[Current connections - 2024-2025]

Here's where this story becomes current: In January 2025, Briatore was photographed dining with Donald Trump and Elon Musk at Mar-a-Lago. This wasn't a casual encounter - it was a reunion of old friends.

A month later, James Packer - Briatore's business partner who had previously partied with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell - bought a Trump-owned property neighboring Mar-a-Lago. According to Webb's reporting, Briatore "fanned" the closeness between Trump and Packer that led to this sale.

And in 2024, Trump personally asked Briatore to become "The Apprentice" representative in Europe and requested he visit him in Florida.

[Sound Effect: Casino ambiance, old New York atmosphere]

This isn't ancient history. This is an ongoing relationship between Trump and figures at the heart of the Epstein network.

But to understand how deep Trump's involvement goes, we need to talk about his mentor: Roy Cohn.

[From "One Nation Under Blackmail" Volume 1 detailed research]

Roy Cohn wasn't just Trump's lawyer - he was his teacher in the dark arts of power. And one of Cohn's specialties was sexual blackmail operations.

According to court testimony documented in Whitney Webb's research, Cohn ran sexual blackmail operations at the Plaza Hotel. The testimony comes from Susan Kaufman, the fourth wife of mobster Lewis Rosenstiel, who stated under oath:

"I saw pictures of Hoover, lawyer Roy Cohn, and Rosenstiel at all sorts of social events with mobsters. There is also evidence that not only did these parties at the Plaza Hotel take place, but that they were used to obtain sexual blackmail."

[Trump's Plaza Hotel operations]

After Trump bought the Plaza Hotel in 1988, multiple attendees confirmed that Trump used to host parties at the Plaza where young women and girls were introduced to older, richer men. As documented in "One Nation Under Blackmail Volume 2":

"It would be reported and confirmed by then attendees that Trump used to host parties and suites at the Plaza Hotel when he owned it, where young women and girls were introduced to older, richer men, and illegal drugs and young women were passed around and used."

Andy Luccesi, a male model who helped organize some of these Plaza Hotel parties for Trump, was specifically asked about the age of the women present. His answers were not reassuring.

[The pattern continues]

This is the same pattern we see throughout Trump's career: using access to young women as a tool of influence and potential blackmail. It's the same playbook Epstein would later perfect.

And according to author Michael Wolff, during the late 1980s and early 1990s, Trump and Epstein, along with Tom Barrack, were "a set of nightlife musketeers who frequently partied together."

[From Aaron Blake's analysis in recent reporting]

This connection has persisted. As Aaron Blake notes in his analysis of Trump's current handling of the Epstein case, Trump has made some very telling comments about Epstein and Maxwell over the years, including "weirdly wishing Ghislaine Maxwell well on more than one occasion while she faced Epstein-related sex-trafficking charges."

These aren't the words of someone who was merely an acquaintance. These are the words of someone who understands the network and wants to protect it.

CHAPTER 4: THE 2025 COVER-UP - DOCUMENTED IN REAL TIME

[Sound Effect: News broadcast clips, official government statements]

Now we get to the heart of our story: the brazen cover-up happening in 2025 under the Trump administration. This isn't speculation about past events - this is documented, step-by-step deception happening right now.

[DOJ official statements, documented by Hannah Rabinowitz]

On July 7, 2025, the Department of Justice released an official memo stating:

"This systematic review revealed no incriminating 'client list.' There was also no credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions. We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties."

Let me translate that: The DOJ is officially claiming that Jeffrey Epstein was just a lone pedophile with no network, no clients, no blackmail operation. They're closing the case.

[Ian Carroll's comprehensive analysis]

As podcaster Ian Carroll put it in his July 2025 analysis:

"The government has investigated itself and determined that it didn't do anything wrong. It's patently absurd... In my opinion, it's the biggest and the sloppiest political cover-up in modern history."

[The "suicide video" fraud]

To support their conclusion, the DOJ released what they called "raw, unedited video" proving Epstein committed suicide. Let me detail what this "proof" actually showed:

1. The video had a minute of footage mysteriously missing
2. It didn't show Epstein's cell or even his cell block
3. It showed absolutely nothing that proved he killed himself
4. The metadata showed approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of the two stitched together clips

[From Joe Rogan-Mike Baker discussion, Episode 2355]

As former CIA officer Mike Baker noted on Joe Rogan's podcast:

"Three minutes is more than enough time [to kill somebody]... So convenient that the guards were asleep. So convenient that the cameras didn't work. So convenient that years later you have a recording of the outside of the cell, but a minute is missing from it."

[Trump's personal reaction]

When asked about continued interest in the Epstein case, Trump himself revealed his attitude toward the investigation:

"Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy's been talked about for years! We have Texas, we have this, we have all of the things. And are people still talking about this guy, this creep? Really? This creep? Unbelievable."

[From Ian Carroll's analysis]

As Carroll notes:

"Just so much winning. I can't believe you guys even want to talk about Epstein while we're just having so much winning. Like we literally already bombed Iran, didn't deport anyone, added trillions of dollars to the debt, we're giving weapons back to Ukraine, and apparently BB rules your country. So just shut up and win, guys."

[Sound Effect: Official meetings, bureaucratic ambiance]

[The Ghislaine Maxwell interviews]

Here's where the cover-up becomes even more blatant. According to multiple sources, including Mike Baker's analysis, "nobody from DOJ has ever, according to her legal team, nobody has ever interviewed her from DOJ" until July 2025.

Think about that. Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted in 2021 of sex trafficking minors for Jeffrey Epstein. She served as his "second-in-command" and was integral to the entire operation. And the Department of Justice never formally interviewed her until four years after her conviction.

[Details from the Blanche interviews]

When Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche - Trump's former criminal defense lawyer - finally interviewed Maxwell in July 2025, he reportedly asked her about "maybe 100 different people" connected to the network.

Days later, she was transferred to a luxury prison camp.

[Sound Effect: Tension building]

[The protected figures]

But the cover-up goes beyond just closing the case. Key figures who could expose the entire network remain completely untouched:

• Leslie Wexner: As Ian Carroll documents, "Leslie Wexner was the bankroll for much of operation as well as providing a convenient cover for Jeffrey Epstein posing as a recruiter for Victoria's Secret. It's worth noting, he is still free, total billionaire, living in Ohio, no one's asked him any questions."

[From Maria Farmer's testimony in the Cooper Smith Tucker discussion]

According to Epstein victim Maria Farmer, who was "the first person ever to make this report to the FBI about this particular group" in 1996:

"Wexner was in charge of Epstein. And Wexner was also in charge [of] Ghislaine."

Farmer, who was "kidnapped and held captive at Leslie Wexner's home in New Albany, Ohio" in 1996, identifies Wexner as "the head of the snake of this particular organization."

But Wexner has never been questioned. He's never been charged. He's never even been publicly investigated.

• Sarah Kellen: Epstein's "second-in-command," who Ian Carroll describes as being "integral to the trafficking operation, scheduling it all, managing who was where and when, appointments, massages, all the rest of it."

Carroll notes:

"Sarah was complicit, and she was never charged with anything, never even questioned under oath as far as I'm aware. She spent the last decade or so hiding in her $5.2 million New York penthouse."

• Ehud Barak: Former Israeli Prime Minister and head of military intelligence, documented as being deep in the network, completely protected from investigation.

[The missing evidence]

Meanwhile, evidence keeps disappearing. As Josie Ensor notes in her analysis:

"Following his arrest in 2019, large black binders holding labeled CDs and hard drives were discovered in his Manhattan apartment, but there has never been any kind of public disclosure of what those are."

The FBI confiscated boxes of tapes, DVDs, CDs from Epstein's properties. We know this because it was widely reported. But none of that evidence has ever been disclosed.

[Sound Effect: Government officials, press conferences]

[The messaging disaster]

Former CIA officer Mike Baker identifies the core problem with the administration's approach:

"A hallmark of a Trump administration is the ability to have a self-inflicted wound, shoot yourself in the foot because of messaging usually."

The inconsistencies are obvious:

• Pam Bondi says they have "thousands of hours of footage"
• Cash Patel says they "don't have anything you're looking for"
• JD Vance claims the footage is just "commercial pornography"
• The DOJ says there's no evidence of blackmail or a client list

[From the Mike Baker analysis]

Baker notes:

"So I think they've done it again. And I don't see how they walk this back. They're trying to, I think, with this interview with Ghislaine Maxwell to say, look, we're trying. We're talking to her. But how does Pam Bondi say we have thousands of hours of footage? And then Cash Patel says we don't have anything that you're looking for."

This isn't incompetence. This is coordination to suppress evidence.

CHAPTER 5: THE TESTIMONY OF VIRGINIA GIUFFRE - HIDDEN EVIDENCE

[Sound Effect: Court proceedings, somber testimony]

Now let me share with you some of the most damning evidence of the ongoing cover-up: the recently revealed writings of Virginia Giuffre, the Epstein victim who died in suspicious circumstances.

[From Josie Ensor's reporting on Giuffre's journal]

In Virginia Giuffre's journal, written between January and April leading up to her death, she explicitly detailed what the FBI was hiding. These aren't vague allegations - these are specific statements from the most important witness in the entire case.

Giuffre wrote:

"I used to be watched by Epstein's hidden cameras, which I've seen myself. The FBI has the archive footage showing me being abused by other men used as blackmail."

Read that again. The FBI has archive footage showing her being abused by other men, used as blackmail. This directly contradicts the DOJ's claim that there's "no credible evidence" that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals.

[Additional victim testimony]

Giuffre wasn't the only victim to make these claims. According to Josie Ensor's reporting:

"Briton Sarah Ransom also claimed to me and publicly that Epstein secretly filmed the sex acts between his victims and high profile figures to be used later as blackmail."

[The cover-up of victim testimony]

The DOJ knew about this testimony. They had access to Giuffre's journal. They had statements from multiple victims explicitly describing the blackmail operation. Yet their official conclusion states there was "no credible evidence" of blackmail.

As Ensor notes:

"This official stance directly contradicts what the FBI and DOJ were saying this week regarding the existence of blackmail evidence, as revealed in Virginia Giuffre's journal."

[Sound Effect: Phone calls, threatening voices]

[Maria Farmer's 1996 FBI report]

Let me give you another example of how long this cover-up has been going on. Maria Farmer, in her detailed testimony from the Cooper Smith Tucker discussion, explains that she was "the first person ever to make this report to the FBI about this particular group" in 1996.

After being "kidnapped and held captive at Leslie Wexner's home in New Albany, Ohio," and receiving a direct threat from Ghislaine Maxwell ("I'm gonna burn your home, your life, your career's already burned, your family's gonna burn, your friends are gonna burn, and we're gonna burn all of your art"), Farmer reported the entire operation to law enforcement.

[The FBI's 1996 response]

When Farmer called the FBI in 1996, reporting what she called "the Jewish mafia" and asking if they had a file on Leslie Wexner, the agent confirmed "yes" - they did have a file on Wexner. But they "weren't helpful at all."

About ten years later, FBI Agent Nesbit Kirkadol contacted Farmer, indicating interest in her 1996 report. But as Farmer explains:

"Epstein was given a sweetheart deal. And so the FBI forgot to inform everyone like I was supposed to be testifying in a federal trial."

[Agent Kirkadol's emotional response]

Farmer describes Agent Kirkadol's reaction to the cover-up:

"Nesbit cried to me and she was not an actress. This woman had dedicated her life to this case" but ultimately had to sign off on the sweetheart deal.

The FBI had detailed victim testimony from 1996. They had evidence of kidnapping, threats, and an international trafficking operation. And they buried it.

---

CHAPTER 6: THE INTELLIGENCE ASSET ADMISSION

[Sound Effect: Congressional hearings, government officials]

Now let's talk about the smoking gun that proves Jeffrey Epstein was an intelligence asset: Alex Acosta's admission.

[From documented testimony and Dave Smith's analysis]

Alex Acosta was the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida from 2005 through 2009, covering the entire period of Epstein's first arrest, trial, and conviction. When pressed about the absolutely insane sweetheart deal he gave to Epstein, Acosta said something that should have ended careers and launched investigations.

According to multiple sources, including Dave Smith's analysis and Ian Carroll's research, when asked about the lenient treatment, Acosta stated that he was told by the intelligence community that Epstein "belonged to intelligence and to leave it alone."

[Ian Carroll's analysis]

As Carroll notes:

"Whoever told him that was an extremely powerful person and clearly had an interest in Epstein not attracting attention and staying free to do business. Clearly, an arm of the intelligence that Epstein belongs to is in the American government, probably some black budget arm of the CIA or something like that."

[The implications of the Acosta admission]

Think about what this means:

1. A federal prosecutor was told by intelligence officials to go easy on a child trafficker
2. That prosecutor followed those orders
3. The intelligence community was actively protecting Epstein's operation
4. This protection continued for decades

[Recent intelligence assessment from former CIA officer]

Former CIA officer Andrew Bustamante, in his analysis from the Cooper Smith Tucker discussion, states it's "highly likely that Epstein was an Intel target" and a "high probability that as an Intel target, he was also someone who communicated intelligence assets, like intelligence insights, intelligence reports, personal assessment, contact information, targeting data to foreign intelligence services."

Bustamante calls Epstein an "access agent" and believes "any professional intelligence service would see a guy like that as a connector."

[Sound Effect: International intelligence operations]

[The Israeli intelligence connection]

Now we get to the most sensitive part of this story: the evidence of Israeli intelligence involvement.

[From Dan Bongino's 2023 statement]

Dan Bongino, who became FBI Deputy Director under Trump, said in 2023 that he was "reliably told Epstein was an intelligence asset for a Middle Eastern country."

When pressed about which country, the answer becomes obvious when you look at the pattern of evidence.

[Former Israeli Prime Minister's denial]

As Aaron Blake notes in his analysis:

"On Monday, former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett saw fit to deny Epstein was an Israeli asset. 'The accusation that Jeffrey Epstein somehow worked for Israel or the Mossad running a blackmail ring is categorically and totally false,' Bennett said."

The fact that a former Prime Minister felt compelled to issue a categorical denial suggests the allegations hit close to home.

[The Robert Maxwell connection from Candace Owens' analysis]

As Candace Owens documents in her detailed analysis:

"Robert Maxwell... was not confident if they found a niche and that was collecting blackmail on American politicians that they were able to do this. They were facilitating this blackmail and therefore they were valuable. They became valuable to the Mossad because they were able to get blackmail."

Robert Maxwell - Ghislaine's father - was a known Mossad asset. The idea that his daughter just happened to end up running a blackmail operation with another Mossad asset is beyond coincidence.

CHAPTER 7: THE SWEETHEART DEAL - DOCUMENTED PROTECTION

[Sound Effect: Legal proceedings, courthouse ambiance]

Let me walk you through the details of Jeffrey Epstein's 2007-2008 "sweetheart deal" because it reveals the depth of his protection by powerful forces.

[From Darrell Cooper's detailed analysis]

Darrell Cooper, co-author of "One Nation Under Blackmail," provides the most comprehensive breakdown of how extraordinary this deal was:

• Before sentencing: Epstein, described as "the definition of a flight risk," was not required to surrender his passport. Instead, he "fled the country, goes to Israel, stays there for several months, moved all his money offshore."
• During negotiations: His plea deal was literally "negotiated while he was out of the country."
• The deal itself: A "non-prosecution agreement with federal government in perpetuity. Him and all his accomplices known and unknown for crimes known and unknown."

Let me repeat that: The federal government agreed never to prosecute Epstein OR ANY OF HIS ACCOMPLICES for ANY CRIMES, known or unknown, forever.

[The jail conditions]

Even his imprisonment was a joke:

• Two-year state-level term in a county jail in Florida
• "His own wing of the jail to himself"
• "His cell door remains open"
• "Work release for 12 hours a day, six days a week accompanied only by security that he pays the salary of"
• He only had to stay the night six days a week

As Cooper notes:

"He only had to stay the night six days a week and one day a week" he could leave entirely.

[Sound Effect: Elite privilege, luxury]

[The two-tier justice system]

Cooper points out the infuriating contrast:

"This extreme leniency and 'special treatment' demonstrates a 'two tiers, the multi-tier system of justice' for elites versus regular citizens (e.g., J-6 defendants)."

While regular citizens face decades in prison for non-violent offenses, a man who trafficked children to powerful elites got to leave jail during the day and run his businesses.

[The protection continues]

But even this sweetheart deal wasn't enough. When Epstein was finally arrested again in 2019, he died in federal custody under circumstances so suspicious that even mainstream outlets questioned the official story.

[From Joe Rogan-Mike Baker analysis of the autopsy]

As Joe Rogan noted in his discussion with former CIA officer Mike Baker:

"He didn't know about the Michael Baden stuff, the autopsy stuff, where it showed that he had three broken bones in his neck, which never happens when you hang yourself."

[The convenient circumstances]

The circumstances of his death were so convenient they read like a checklist:

• Guards fell asleep
• Cameras malfunctioned
• His cellmate was transferred
• The new cellmate was "a fucking gigantic human being. A huge guy who is a mass murderer, who killed multiple people, a bad cop, who was built like a brick fucking shithouse"

[Maria Farmer's assessment]

Epstein victim Maria Farmer is direct in her assessment:

"I do not believe that he committed suicide. I believe that he was murdered by probably Tartaglione."

CHAPTER 8: THE NETWORK TODAY - TECH TITANS AND DIGITAL BLACKMAIL

[Sound Effect: Computer keyboards, digital surveillance]

Now let me explain how the Epstein network has evolved and why it's more dangerous today than ever before.

[Whitney Webb's "Epstein 2.0" analysis]

According to Whitney Webb's analysis in the Cooper Smith Tucker discussion:

"Epstein 2.0 isn't a person, it's software," facilitating "online surveillance." This method is "much less risky" and cheaper than maintaining a physical operation like Epstein's island.

The new methods involve the ability to "put criminalizing data or files on anyone's computer and also frame them" using software backdoors built into every major technology platform.

[The Silicon Valley connection]

Webb documents that Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell began heavily courting "Silicon Valley oligarchs" in the late 1990s. The connections are extensive:

• Jeff Bezos: "Very intimate relationship" with Epstein
• Google co-founders (Sergey Brin): "Very cozy with Epstein." Both subpoenaed in US Virgin Islands JP Morgan trial
• Elon Musk: Subpoenaed in US Virgin Islands JP Morgan trial
• Reid Hoffman: "Very well documented, very cozy relationship" including "visits to the island and the townhouse"
• Bill Gates: Ties "go back to the 1990s, not to 2011 as they claim," potentially "to absolve Microsoft of any potential compromise factor"

[The intelligence-tech fusion]

This isn't coincidence. As Webb details, there are historical ties between US intelligence and major tech companies:

• Oracle: Founder Larry Ellison worked on "Project Oracle at the CIA"
• Google: Multiple articles document "How the CIA Made Google"
• Palantir: Funded by Peter Thiel and CIA's In-Q-Tel, CIA was its "only client for their first three to four years," with engineers going to Langley for product development guidance
• Facebook: Argued to be a "repurposing of the StarCard program called LifeLog"

[Ian Carroll's asset analysis]

As Ian Carroll explains:

"The moment Zuckerberg gives the CIA access to Facebook data, he becomes an asset. The moment Gates collaborates with intelligence-linked figures like Epstein, he becomes part of the network."

These aren't necessarily Epstein-style sexual compromises. These are what intelligence agencies call "assets" - people who provide services to intelligence operations, whether they fully understand it or not.

[Sound Effect: Money counting, financial transactions]

[The money laundering continues]

Even with Epstein dead, the financial networks continue to operate. Leon Black, founder of Apollo Global Management, paid Epstein $190 million for "financial advice." Not investment management - advice. From a guy whose only real credential was being good at hiding dirty money.

[From Joe Rogan-Mike Baker discussion of Leon Black payments]

As documented in their discussion:

"New York Times detailed at least 75 million in payments. And founder Mr. Black had paid Epstein 158 million in a five-year period ending in 2017. He also lent Mr. Epstein more than 30 million, only 10 million of which was paid back."

According to the official story:

"Mr. Epstein's advice was worth perhaps two billion in tax savings to Mr. Black, according to the report."

But as Eric Weinstein noted:

"This guy is not good. He doesn't know what he's talking about. He wasn't a good financial advisor."

So why did one of the world's most sophisticated money managers pay nearly $200 million to someone who wasn't good at financial advice? The answer is obvious: Black wasn't paying for investment advice. He was paying for money laundering and protection services.

---

CHAPTER 9: THE CURRENT RESISTANCE - WHY THE COVER-UP IS FAILING

[Sound Effect: Social media activity, public outcry]

Despite the massive institutional cover-up, public resistance to the official narrative is growing. Let me document why this cover-up is failing.

[Polling data from Dave Smith's analysis]

According to Dave Smith's breakdown of polling data: When Trump's support is broken down by issue - "economy, whatever, whatever. Get to Epstein, he's down like 40 points with Epstein."

The public isn't buying the official story. People understand they're being lied to.

[The new talking points]

The desperation of the cover-up is evident in the new talking points being pushed across social media and by political operatives. As Ian Carroll documents, the line is simple: "Why do you even still care about Epstein? Why are you even talking about Epstein?"

[From Ian Carroll's analysis]

Carroll's response:

"The new talking point being parroted by all the assets and suckers on X and in the media is, why do you even still care about Epstein? Why are you even talking about Epstein? I mean, who really cares anymore anyways? Which is pathetic."

"It's coming out that our government is run by pedophiles and their cover-up isn't going so well and so they've resorted to just gaslighting the American people that it's not even a big deal and no one even cares about it anymore."

[Sound Effect: Congressional hearings, political pressure]

[Democratic opposition emerges]

Interestingly, Democrats who previously avoided the topic are now publicly lobbying for document release. As Mike Baker notes:

"Democrats like Adam Schiff and others going, we have got to release these fucking files."

This isn't principle - it's politics. Democrats see "blood in the water" and an opportunity to "go after Trump, regardless of who else is in the files."

[Media complicity exposed]

The media's role in the cover-up is becoming impossible to hide. As documented in the Cooper Smith Tucker discussion, an ABC reporter (Amy Robach) was caught on hot mic revealing she "had the whole story" but her "network told her to squash it" due to their "relationship with the royal family."

She didn't resign. She followed orders and buried the story.

[Major networks' threats]

Even more damning, major networks explicitly told Maria Farmer they couldn't mention Leslie Wexner because "he's too dangerous. We will be sued."

Think about that: News networks are openly admitting they can't investigate certain billionaires because of legal threats.

[The witness deaths]

The pattern of convenient deaths around the Epstein case is becoming impossible to ignore:

• Mark Middleton: The man who facilitated Epstein's access to President Clinton was found hanging from a tree with an extension cord and shot twice in the chest with a shotgun. Official ruling: suicide.

[Ian Carroll's sardonic analysis]

As Carroll puts it:

"Mark was a creative guy. He... hung himself from a tree with an extension cord and then shot himself in the chest two times with a shotgun. Look into it. It's a little funny."

• Virginia Giuffre: The most important witness in the case allegedly "committed suicide" in recent months. Another convenient death.

[The desperation reveals the truth]

The very desperation of the cover-up tells us everything. As Ian Carroll notes:

"If this were really just about one dead pedophile, why would the most powerful people in the world be working so hard to bury it? Because it's not about one man. It's about a system."

---

CHAPTER 10: THE ISRAELI COMPONENT - DOCUMENTATION OF FOREIGN CONTROL

[Sound Effect: International intelligence operations, diplomatic meetings]

Now we get to the most sensitive and most important part of this entire story: the documented evidence that American policy is being controlled by a foreign intelligence network.

[Ian Carroll's comprehensive analysis]

As Ian Carroll states in his July 2025 analysis:

"It's no coincidence that we have the world's largest blackmail ring being run by Israeli intelligence, and we're passing speech laws to stop people from criticizing the government of Israel - not our own government, but Israel's."

Let me document the evidence for this extraordinary claim:

[The pattern of control]

Consider the following documented facts:

• We have a massive unregistered lobby working on behalf of Israel
• We have dual citizens with Israel throughout our government
• We give more money and military aid to Israel than any other nation
• When Israel embarrasses us on the world stage and goes against our president's orders, our politicians compete to see who can be more supportive

[The Netanyahu visits and timing]

The DOJ announced the Epstein case was closed the day before Netanyahu visited DC for the third time in 2025. This isn't coincidence - it's coordination.

[Sound Effect: Historical connections, family networks]

[The Maxwell family intelligence history]

The Israeli connection runs deep through the Maxwell family. Robert Maxwell - Ghislaine's father - was a documented Mossad asset. As Candace Owens documents in her comprehensive analysis:

"Robert Maxwell... was not confident if they found a niche and that was collecting blackmail on American politicians that they were able to do this. They were facilitating this blackmail and therefore they were valuable. They became valuable to the Mossad because they were able to get blackmail."

[Ari Ben-Menashe's testimony]

According to Owens' research citing Ari Ben-Menashe, a former Israeli intelligence operative:

"Ari Ben-Menashe's meeting with Epstein in Robert Maxwell's office in London dates back to the Iran-Contra scandal."

This places Epstein directly in Robert Maxwell's office, meeting with Israeli intelligence operatives, during one of the most significant intelligence operations of the 1980s.

[The systematic protection]

Remember Alex Acosta's admission: He gave Epstein a sweetheart deal because he was told Epstein "belonged to intelligence and to leave it alone."

That intelligence apparatus is still protecting its assets. The network is still operational. The blackmail is still working.

[Current evidence of control]

The evidence of ongoing control is overwhelming:

• Speech laws: As Carroll notes, "we are passing speech laws to stop people from criticizing the government of Israel, not our own."
• Unregistered lobby: AIPAC operates as what is effectively an unregistered foreign lobby, spending millions to influence American elections.
• Dual citizenship: Numerous officials throughout our government hold dual citizenship with Israel, creating obvious conflicts of interest.
• Military aid: We provide more military aid to Israel than to any other nation, even when Israel acts against stated U.S. policy.

[The genocide and American complicity]

Carroll doesn't mince words about current Israeli actions:

"Ignore the genocide that our tax dollars are funding. Ignore the endless streams of videos of kids buried and burned and starved to death in Gaza. Ignore that they are shooting them with sniper rifles while they're pretending to give them food."

[The antisemitism shield]

[Whitney Webb's analysis of the protection racket]

As Whitney Webb notes in the Cooper Smith Tucker discussion, when researchers like her expose figures like Alan Dershowitz or Leslie Wexner, they're immediately accused of antisemitism.

Webb argues:

"These oligarchs use the Jewish community... as basically human shields for scrutiny into their crimes."

This is a critical point: Criticism of specific individuals involved in criminal networks is deliberately conflated with antisemitism to shut down investigation.

[Sound Effect: International power dynamics]

[The historical parallel]

Carroll makes a disturbing historical comparison:

"When you learn about World War II as a kid, one of the enduring questions is how did they get regular Germans to go along with committing such atrocities... Well, look around you. How are they getting people to go along with genocide today?"

[The occupied nation analysis]

Carroll's conclusion is stark:

"You live in an occupied nation folks. It's no coincidence that we have the world's largest blackmail ring being run by Israel and we are passing speech laws to stop people from criticizing the government of Israel, not our own."

This isn't hyperbole. This is documented analysis of a foreign intelligence network that has compromised American leadership through systematic blackmail operations.

---

CHAPTER 11: THE NETWORK'S EVOLUTION - FROM EPSTEIN TO BIG TECH

[Sound Effect: Digital surveillance, tech company operations]

Now let me explain how the network has evolved beyond physical blackmail operations into something far more sophisticated and dangerous.

[Whitney Webb's comprehensive analysis]

According to Whitney Webb's research documented in "One Nation Under Blackmail Volume 2":

"With mass surveillance technology, sex blackmailers such as Jeffrey Epstein became increasingly irrelevant and expendable."

Why need compromising photos when you have everyone's data?

[The Big Tech intelligence fusion]

Webb documents the seamless integration between intelligence services and major technology companies:

• Palantir: Perhaps the most obvious example. Founded by Peter Thiel and funded by the CIA's In-Q-Tel, the CIA was Palantir's "only client for their first three to four years." Engineers literally went to Langley for product development guidance.

As Webb notes, Palantir is essentially a privatized version of DARPA's "Total Information Awareness" surveillance program, which was shut down by Congress for eliminating privacy rights. Instead of ending the program, they privatized it.

[The Facebook-LifeLog connection]

Webb argues that Facebook is a "repurposing of the StarCard program called LifeLog." The timing is suspicious: DARPA's LifeLog program was officially ended on February 4, 2004 - the exact same day Facebook was launched.

[Oracle and the CIA]

Oracle founder Larry Ellison worked on "Project Oracle at the CIA." The company has maintained deep intelligence ties throughout its existence.

[Google's intelligence origins]

Multiple researchers have documented "How the CIA Made Google," showing the deep integration between the world's largest search engine and U.S. intelligence services.

[The asset network]

As Ian Carroll explains:

"These aren't necessarily Epstein-style sexual compromises. These are what intelligence agencies call 'assets' - people who provide services to intelligence operations, whether they fully understand it or not."

The moment any tech CEO provides data access to intelligence agencies, they become an asset of the system.

[Sound Effect: Financial networks, money laundering]

[The continuing money laundering]

Even with Epstein dead, the financial aspects of the network continue. Leon Black's $190 million in payments to Epstein weren't isolated. They represent a continuing system of financial services that facilitate criminal activity.

[The Wexner Foundation network]

Leslie Wexner's empire extends far beyond Victoria's Secret. As documented in "One Nation Under Blackmail," the Wexner Foundation runs extensive leadership programs aimed at molding Jewish leaders in North America and Israel.

This isn't just philanthropy - it's network building. These programs create interlocking relationships between business leaders, politicians, and intelligence operatives.

[The Harvard connection]

Wexner's controversial connections to Harvard University, including his donations and the establishment of the Center for Public Leadership, created academic legitimacy for the network while providing recruitment opportunities.

[The "Mega Group"]

Wexner's involvement with the "Mega Group" - an exclusive circle of wealthy Jewish businessmen focused on Jewish philanthropy and identity - provided additional networking and influence opportunities.

[Sound Effect: Corporate boardrooms, elite meetings]

[The corporate integration]

The network now operates through legitimate corporate structures. As Webb documents:

"This suggests a seamless 'public-private partnership' where organized crime figures rebrand as philanthropists, and intelligence services operate through private tech companies."

[The Pritzker connection]

In Jeffrey Epstein's black book, on page 45, are the names and numbers of Nicholas and Thomas Pritzker. As documented in "One Nation Under Blackmail Volume 1":

"Epstein listed two addresses, five phone numbers and one email address for Nicholas. For Thomas, he had two addresses, one email and 12 phone numbers, ranging from his main office number to his farm to his emergency contact line."

Under Thomas Pritzker, Epstein cryptically noted "numero uno" - number one.

The Pritzker family's Hyatt Hotel empire and extensive political connections (including producing a governor of Illinois) demonstrate how the network integrates with legitimate business and political structures.

---

CHAPTER 12: THE CURRENT POLITICAL PROTECTION RACKET

[Sound Effect: Political meetings, lobbying activity]

Let me document how the network maintains its protection through the current American political system.

[The AIPAC influence operation]

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee operates as what is effectively an unregistered foreign lobby, spending millions to influence American elections. Unlike other foreign entities, AIPAC faces no registration requirements under the Foreign Agents Registration Act.

[Congressional protection]

When politicians attempt to investigate or criticize Israeli actions, they face immediate political consequences. The pattern is consistent: investigations are shut down, careers are threatened, and alternative explanations are provided.

[The Dershowitz protection network]

Alan Dershowitz - who orchestrated Epstein's sweetheart deal - maintains extensive connections throughout the political and legal system. As documented in the Cooper Smith Tucker discussion:

• "Very cozy with Netanyahu," invited as special guest to watch UN speeches
• "Ultra Zionist, very big defender of Israel"
• Known for "lawfare" tactics and "threatening lots of that"
• Uses "bullying and intimidation and threats" against researchers and journalists

[The B'nai B'rith connection]

Dershowitz is regularly invited to events by B'nai B'rith, described as a "self-described secret society that models itself after Freemasonry," which has "spawned the Anti-Defamation League."

[Sound Effect: Media operations, narrative control]

[The media protection system]

The network maintains protection through systematic media control:

• Direct threats: As Maria Farmer testified, major networks explicitly told her they couldn't mention Leslie Wexner because "he's too dangerous. We will be sued."
• Editorial control: ABC's Amy Robach admitted on hot mic that her network told her to "squash" the Epstein story due to their "relationship with the royal family."
• Narrative management: Any investigation of the network is immediately labeled as "antisemitic," shutting down legitimate inquiry.

[The Atlantic magazine example]

The brazenness of the narrative control was perfectly illustrated when The Atlantic - owned by someone connected to the network - published an article stating:

"If the Epstein scandal teaches us anything, it's that America needs a dedicated and decently funded group of people whose job it is not to just ask questions, but to find answers."

The response on social media was swift:

"The woman on the right is Ghislaine Maxwell. She trafficked children for Jeffrey Epstein. The woman on the left owns your magazine."

[The NYPD connection]

The network extends into law enforcement. As documented in the Cooper Smith Tucker discussion, Jessica Tisch - a member of the Tisch family connected to the "mega group" - runs the NYPD and has been "instrumental in expanding unconstitutional mass surveillance throughout New York City."

---

CHAPTER 13: THE WITNESSES AND THE COVER-UP

[Sound Effect: Court proceedings, victim testimony]

Let me document the systematic suppression of witness testimony that proves the scope of this cover-up.

[Maria Farmer's complete testimony]

Maria Farmer's story represents the most comprehensive witness account of the entire operation. As documented in the Cooper Smith Tucker discussion:

• 1996 Report: Farmer was "the first person ever to make this report to the FBI about this particular group" in 1996, nearly a decade before Epstein's first arrest.
• Kidnapping and captivity: After being "kidnapped and held captive at Leslie Wexner's home in New Albany, Ohio" in 1996, Farmer experienced firsthand the network's reach and power.
• Direct threats: Ghislaine Maxwell personally threatened Farmer: "I'm gonna burn your home, your life, your career's already burned, your family's gonna burn, your friends are gonna burn, and we're gonna burn all of your art."
• FBI dismissal: When Farmer reported the threats and the broader "international pedophile ring" to the NYPD, police dismissed the pedophile ring aspect as "not in our jurisdiction," only noting the arson threat.
• Intelligence connections: When Farmer called the FBI, reporting what she called "the Jewish mafia" and asking if they had a file on Leslie Wexner, the agent confirmed "yes" - they did have a file on Wexner. But they "weren't helpful at all."

[The FBI agent's emotional breakdown]

Ten years later, FBI Agent Nesbit Kirkadol contacted Farmer about her 1996 report. But as Farmer explains:

"Nesbit cried to me and she was not an actress. This woman had dedicated her life to this case" but ultimately had to sign off on the sweetheart deal.

The FBI had a dedicated agent who spent years building a case against the network, only to be forced to sign off on a deal that protected all participants.

[Farmer's assessment of the hierarchy]

Farmer identifies the true power structure:

"Wexner was in charge of Epstein. And Wexner was also in charge [of] Ghislaine... Wexner was the head of the snake of this particular organization."

She also makes broader claims about the network:

"All human trafficking in America begin and end in Ohio" and alleges that Wexner owned "the CIA airline."

[Sound Effect: International operations, aircraft]

[Virginia Giuffre's suppressed evidence]

Virginia Giuffre's journal entries, written shortly before her suspicious death, provide the most direct evidence of FBI suppression:

"I used to be watched by Epstein's hidden cameras, which I've seen myself. The FBI has the archive footage showing me being abused by other men used as blackmail."

This statement directly contradicts the DOJ's 2025 conclusion that there was "no credible evidence" of blackmail operations.

[Sarah Ransom's corroboration]

British victim Sarah Ransom provided additional testimony:

"Epstein secretly filmed the sex acts between his victims and high profile figures to be used later as blackmail."

Multiple victims, independent of each other, described the same systematic blackmail operation. All were ignored by the DOJ's 2025 "investigation."

[The pattern of witness suppression]

• Threats and intimidation: Major media outlets openly admit they cannot investigate certain figures due to legal threats.
• Financial pressure: Victims face massive legal costs when attempting to pursue cases against connected individuals.
• Character assassination: Victims who speak out face systematic attacks on their credibility.
• Physical threats: The pattern of convenient deaths around key witnesses creates a climate of fear.

---

CHAPTER 14: THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S BETRAYAL

[Sound Effect: Campaign rallies, political promises]

Now let me detail how the Trump administration has systematically betrayed its promises regarding the Epstein investigation.

[Campaign promises vs. reality]

During his 2024 campaign, Trump explicitly promised to release the Epstein files as part of his broader commitment to government transparency. These weren't vague statements - they were specific commitments to voters who supported him based on these promises.

[The photo-op deception]

The administration's approach to "transparency" was revealed in what multiple sources describe as a "photo op of them holding up a fucking binder" with "The Epstein Files: Phase 1" emblazoned on the cover.

As one analyst noted:

"Nothing about the case that has come out that I did not already know and therefore people out there didn't have the ability to already know that was public."

[The messaging disaster]

Former CIA officer Mike Baker identifies the core problem:

"A hallmark of a Trump administration is the ability to have a self-inflicted wound, shoot yourself in the foot because of messaging usually."

The contradictions are blatant:

• Pam Bondi claims they have "thousands of hours of footage"
• Cash Patel says they "don't have anything you're looking for"
• JD Vance dismisses evidence as "commercial pornography"
• The DOJ concludes there's no evidence of blackmail or clients

[Trump's personal reaction]

Trump's own statements reveal his attitude toward the investigation:

"Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy's been talked about for years! We have Texas, we have this, we have all of the things. And are people still talking about this guy, this creep? Really? This creep? Unbelievable."

[Sound Effect: Legal proceedings, official meetings]

[The Ghislaine Maxwell deal]

The administration's handling of Ghislaine Maxwell represents perhaps the most blatant example of the betrayal. Key facts:

1. No DOJ official had ever formally interviewed Maxwell until July 2025 - four years after her conviction
2. When Todd Blanche (Trump's former lawyer) finally interviewed her, he asked about "100 different people"
3. Days later, she was transferred to a luxury prison camp
4. Victims were never notified of any of these developments

[The protected figures remain protected]

Despite promises of accountability, every major figure in the network remains completely protected:

• Leslie Wexner: Still free, never questioned, never investigated
• Sarah Kellen: Never charged, never questioned under oath
• Ehud Barak: Protected by diplomatic immunity
• Leon Black: Continues managing billions despite documented payments to Epstein

[The evidence remains hidden]

The FBI's seizure of "large black binders holding labeled CDs and hard drives" from Epstein's properties has never resulted in any public disclosure. The administration claims this evidence doesn't exist while simultaneously claiming they've reviewed it.

[Sound Effect: Public reaction, social media]

[The political consequences]

The betrayal is having real political consequences. As Dave Smith documents: When Trump's support is broken down by issue, "Get to Epstein, he's down like 40 points with Epstein."

Even Trump supporters are abandoning him on this issue. The MAGA base that elected him specifically to "drain the swamp" is watching him protect the very swamp creatures they wanted exposed.

[Ian Carroll's assessment]

Ian Carroll, representing the independent analysis community, is direct:

"Trump is literally burning his legacy to the ground to cover this up. He's burning the entire MAGA movement to the ground to protect Epstein and the whole network that he represented."

The betrayal isn't just political - it's personal for the people who believed Trump would be different.

---

CHAPTER 15: THE CURRENT NETWORKS - DIDDY AND THE EXPANSION

[Sound Effect: Hip-hop music, entertainment industry]

The Epstein network didn't die with Jeffrey Epstein. Let me document how it has expanded into new areas, particularly through figures like Sean "Diddy" Combs.

[The Diddy parallel operation]

According to Whitney Webb's latest reporting, federal agents who raided Combs' properties said he was "as bad as Epstein." The operational parallels are undeniable:

• Filming operations: Secret recording of sexual encounters and assaults
• Blackmail usage: Using footage to control and manipulate targets
• Elite protection: Operating with protection from powerful figures in entertainment and politics
• Network structure: Multiple facilitators and recruiters working within the operation

[The Kirk Burrowes lawsuit]

The Kirk Burrowes lawsuit, filed in early 2024, provides specific allegations that mirror the Epstein operation. Burrowes alleges Combs subjected him to "repeated sexual harassment, physical aggression and forced compliance with degrading sexual acts" as part of a "campaign of control" using blackmail.

[Sound Effect: Corporate boardrooms, music industry meetings]

[The 1991 music industry conspiracy]

Whitney Webb's research has uncovered perhaps the most disturbing aspect of the network's expansion: the systematic corruption of American culture through the music industry.

According to Webb's reporting, in 1991 there was allegedly a clandestine meeting where music industry executives conspired to promote criminal behavior in hip-hop lyrics. The motive wasn't artistic - it was financial.

These same executives had invested in private prisons and needed those prisons filled to profit from government funding tied to inmate numbers.

Think about the implications: The same oligarchs behind the Epstein network were systematically promoting criminality in music to feed the prison-industrial complex they owned.

[The cultural engineering operation]

This wasn't just about sex trafficking. This was about cultural engineering on a massive scale:

• Using music to promote criminal behavior
• Feeding the prison-industrial complex
• Generating profits for the same oligarchs
• Creating a cycle of criminality and incarceration

[The network connections]

The personal connections between the Epstein and Diddy networks are documented:

• Ron Burkle: A billionaire who employed Bill Clinton as an advisor was a frequent flier on Epstein's private jet, particularly on flights including Clinton. Burkle is also the godfather to Diddy's children and a close associate.
• Shared funding sources: Many of the same financial institutions and wealthy individuals who backed Epstein's operation appear connected to Diddy's activities.
• Intelligence protection: Both operations enjoyed protection from prosecution for years despite widespread knowledge of their activities.

[Sound Effect: Legal proceedings, federal raids]

[The prosecution strategy]

The current prosecution of Diddy appears designed to protect the broader network rather than expose it. Key indicators:

1. Focus on individual crimes rather than network operations
2. Protection of high-profile clients and associates
3. Limited scope of investigation
4. Plea deal negotiations that could silence testimony

[Historical pattern repetition]

The Diddy case is following the exact pattern of the Epstein prosecution:

• Initial media attention followed by gradual suppression
• Focus on the individual rather than the network
• Protection of powerful associates and clients
• Eventual plea deal or convenient resolution

---

CLOSING: THE OCCUPIED NATION

[Sound Effect: Building to resolution, dramatic tension]

So here we are in August 2025, with Ghislaine Maxwell getting moved to a luxury prison camp while her victims aren't even notified, and they're asking us to believe that one of the most sophisticated intelligence operations in modern history was actually just a lonely billionaire acting alone.

They're asking us to ignore that both Clinton and Trump were compromised by this network. They're asking us to forget that our foreign policy is being dictated by people who have been blackmailed by foreign intelligence. They're asking us to accept that children - American children - were sacrificed to maintain a system of control that benefits foreign interests.

[From comprehensive evidence review]

But here's what the evidence actually shows us:

Jeffrey Epstein was a trained intelligence asset, educated in arms trafficking and money laundering by Adnan Khashoggi and Sir Douglas Lees. He was deployed by Israeli intelligence, with the protection of elements within American intelligence, to operate a systematic blackmail network targeting American political and business leaders.

The network compromised two American presidents - Bill Clinton through Israeli phone tapping operations documented by Daniel Halper, and Donald Trump through direct participation in the network as evidenced by his name being circled in Epstein's black book by the butler who witnessed the crimes.

The network operated for decades with the full knowledge and protection of the FBI, which had detailed victim testimony from Maria Farmer as early as 1996 but chose to bury the investigation rather than prosecute the crimes.

[The current cover-up]

The 2025 cover-up represents the most brazen suppression of evidence in modern American history:

• The DOJ claims there's no evidence of blackmail while victims' own writings document extensive blackmail operations
• They claim there's no client list while refusing to release the extensive evidence they seized
• They claim Epstein was a lone actor while protecting every major figure in his network
• They transfer his key accomplice to a luxury prison after she provides information about "100 different people"

[The foreign control]

Most importantly, the evidence demonstrates that American policy is being controlled by a foreign intelligence network:

• Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu successfully blackmailed President Clinton using sex tapes
• The same Israeli intelligence network that ran Epstein continues to operate today
• American politicians who attempt to investigate or criticize Israeli actions face immediate retaliation
• Speech laws are being passed to protect Israel from criticism - not America, but Israel
• More American tax dollars go to Israel than to any other nation, even when Israel acts against American interests

[Ian Carroll's conclusion]

As Ian Carroll puts it:

"You live in an occupied nation folks. It's no coincidence that we have the world's largest blackmail ring being run by Israeli intelligence, and we're passing speech laws to stop people from criticizing the government of Israel - not our own government, but Israel's."

[The systemic nature]

This isn't about Republican versus Democrat. This isn't about left versus right. This is about a criminal network so powerful, so connected, that it can compromise presidents and shut down investigations with a phone call.

The network has evolved beyond physical blackmail operations into digital surveillance through Big Tech companies that are integrated with intelligence services. The same oligarchs who financed Epstein now control the platforms that monitor every American's communications.

[The continuing operation]

The network didn't die with Jeffrey Epstein. It expanded:

• Through tech surveillance that makes physical blackmail operations unnecessary
• Through figures like Sean Diddy Combs who operate the same playbook in different industries
• Through systematic cultural engineering that promotes criminality to feed the prison-industrial complex
• Through financial networks that continue to launder money for criminal enterprises

[The witness suppression]

The systematic suppression of witness testimony reveals the scope of institutional corruption:

• Maria Farmer's 1996 FBI report was buried for a decade
• Virginia Giuffre's documentation of FBI evidence was ignored in their official conclusion
• Major media outlets openly admit they cannot investigate certain figures due to legal threats
• Witnesses who speak out face character assassination, financial pressure, and physical threats

[The betrayal of American democracy]

The Trump administration's handling of this case represents a complete betrayal of American democracy and the rule of law:

• Campaign promises of transparency were replaced with photo-op deception
• Key evidence remains hidden while officials claim it doesn't exist
• The most important witness is transferred to luxury accommodations after providing information about powerful figures
• Every major figure in the network remains protected and free

[The call to resistance]

But here's what gives me hope: The cover-up is failing. Public polling shows Trump losing massive support on this issue. Independent analysts like Ian Carroll, Dave Smith, and Whitney Webb are exposing the truth faster than the establishment can suppress it. Victims like Maria Farmer continue to speak out despite threats and intimidation.

[Final implications]

The Jeffrey Epstein case isn't closed. It's being covered up. And that cover-up is happening because the network he served is still in control.

Until we acknowledge that reality - until we demand real investigations, real prosecutions, real accountability - we will continue to be governed by people who serve foreign interests rather than American interests.

Until we recognize that our political system has been compromised by foreign intelligence through systematic blackmail operations, we cannot have a functioning democracy.

Until we understand that the same criminal network that trafficked American children is now controlling American policy through the politicians they compromised, we cannot call ourselves a free nation.

[The ultimate truth]

If you care enough to look, you'll see something is still there. The network is still operational. The blackmail is still working. The cover-up is still happening.

And it will continue until the American people demand that it stop.

That's episode 2 of the New Jersey Criminal Podcast. Next time, we'll dive deeper into the historical foundations of this network, examining how organized crime and intelligence services merged during World War II to create the system we see today. Because understanding Jeffrey Epstein means understanding how power really works in America - and how we lost control of our own government to foreign interests.

Until then, keep asking questions. Keep demanding answers. Keep sharing this information with everyone you know. Because they're working this hard to make you forget because there's something they desperately need you not to remember.

The children who were trafficked. The politicians who were compromised. The foreign intelligence network that controls our policy. The billionaires who bought our media. The agents who buried the evidence. The prosecutors who made the deals. The presidents who were blackmailed.

Remember it all. Because that's the only way we take our country back.

I'm Tom, and this has been the New Jersey Criminal Podcast.
