About this episode
He also claims that Comey was intimately involved in suppressing or mis-handling key evidence that could have shown Tartaglione acted in a manner different from the official story—particularly regarding surveillance footage at the jail where Epstein and Tartaglione were cell-mates. In this version, Comey is cast not simply as a neutral prosecutor but as an actor in a cover-up: by failing to preserve or produce surveillance video (for example, outside Epstein’s cell on July 23, 2019) and by branding Tartaglione culpable, the claim goes, Comey effectively helped seal a pre-determined narrative against him rather than conduct a fair investigation.

Hi, my name is Mira Patasson. 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 GoFundMe 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 four dollars to four hundred dollars and each time you get a ping that someone donated even if it is just four dollars 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 fundraising platform trusted by over 200 million people. Start your GoFundMe today at GoFundMe.com that's GoFundMe.com GoFundMe.com Tyler Reddick here from 2311 Racing, another checkered flag for the books. Time to

What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. According to Nicholas Tartaglioni, you know the guy that was in the jail cell with Jeffrey Epstein when he allegedly tried to kill himself the first time around. Well according to that guy, Jeffrey Epstein was approached by Maureen Comey who allegedly offered Jeffrey Epstein freedom if he would roll over on Trump. Now that's a pretty highly charged statement to make, right? The problem is there's nothing to back that up and keeping it 100. I don't really believe anything Nicholas Tartaglioni has to say. I think that he was the message sender and I think that what Jeffrey Epstein said about Tartaglioni in that jail cell is true. I think that Tartaglioni assaulted Epstein in that cell and one of my working theories is he was putting that cell on purpose to pass on that message. Either you do it or we will. And Epstein obviously got
the message, right? Won't wear the other he got the message. Either he did it himself or somebody else did it. But I don't think he did it of his own volition. I don't think he woke up one day and was like, you know what? Today is the day I'm going to end my life. Because when you talk to all the people that were around them, that's not what they say. And Jeffrey Epstein from everything we know isn't the kind of guy that's going to pack it in. He thought he was going to win this case. He thought that he was going to beat this. So I have a hard time believing the narrative that he just woke up one day and decided to call it quits. I just don't think that happened. Now look, that doesn't mean that that isn't what went down. I just have a hard time believing it from everything else we know from all the other people we talked to. Very difficult to believe that this man with his hubris, with his arrogance, with his thoughts of being better than everybody else thought that he was actually going to be sunk, especially considering all of the information that he had on other people. So considering all of that, I'm going to need some concrete proof of
what Mr. Tartaglioni's telling us here. And unfortunately for him and for us, oh, we have to go on is what Nicholas Tartaglioni, a four-time murderer, has to say, not exactly what I'd call a reliable narrator. Alright, today's article is from the New York Post and the headline, Jeffrey Epstein claim prosecutors offered his freedom if he agreed to implicate Donald Trump. According to his ex Selma, this article was authored by Andy Tillett, how long before they're showing up at Nicholas Tartaglioni's jail to give him all kinds of special favors? Oh, yeah. Well, come on, Nicholas. Come on down to the other facility. Have yourself a Chick-fil-A too. Jeffrey Epstein claimed New York federal prosecutors told him that he could walk free if he agreed to implicate Donald Trump, according to his ex Selma. Well, there it is folks. We can pack it all in and we can just forget about the investigation. You know, Nicholas Tartaglioni told us what was up. After his arrest on child sex trafficking charges in July of 2019, Epstein
was transferred to the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, where he shared a cell with ex-cop Nicholas Tartaglioni, who was awaiting trial before being convicted on a quadruple murder charge. That should be what the article is about right there. Why was Jeffrey Epstein in the cell with Tartaglioni in the first place? Who made that decision? Why they make that decision? And how come that person has never come forward? Because even in the lowest rent, cop dramas on TV, they're not going to put a guy like Jeffrey Epstein in a cell with somebody like Nicholas Tartaglioni. Why would they do that? What's the purpose? What's the point? You're going to put Epstein in there with other white collar people. You're going to put him in there with other people that are facing the same kind of charges. What you're not going to do is put one of the most or should be one of the most protected inmates in the whole entire system and with a guy that's facing four murders. Who came up with that idea? And why? That should be what this article is about. Not pitching this bullshit that Tartaglioni has some inside information. These
motherfuckers will do anything besides talk to the survivors, huh? Tartaglioni, 57, now claims that Epstein, who died a month after being arrested, told him prosecutors that offered to cut a deal if he'd snitch on President Trump, who was then in his first term, breaking news, Epstein would have rolled over faster than you can say, jump. What do you think he had loyalty to Donald Trump? You think Jeffrey Epstein had loyalty to anybody? He had loyalty to himself. That's it. Not to go lay in Maxwell, not to any of his other friends, nobody to himself, and certainly not to America or Israel. This was the most self-serving man, maybe in the history of the world. Prosecutors told Epstein that if he said President Trump was involved with Epstein's crimes, he would walk free in a petition to be pardoned. Tartaglioni claims in a pardon application filed in July and obtained by the post. Oh, no shit, huh? Trying to get a pardon from Donald Trump and using this as a bait? And no in Trump, he'll probably bite. Well, that Nicholas Tartaglioni, he really
cleared me. And you know, he caught a raw deal. He only killed four drug dealers. So, you know, he shouldn't be in prison. Let's let him out. Why don't we move him to camp Brian as well? The absurdity of it all makes me ill. Epstein told me that lead prosecutor Maureen Komi said that he didn't have to prove anything as long as President Trump's people could not disprove it. According to Maureen Komi, the FBI where her people, not his, President Trump's, the filing states, well, Maureen Komi wasn't the lead prosecutor on the case. The lead prosecutor on the case was Alice in Moe. So that's the first tell right there. Yeah, Komi was involved in it, but she wasn't making the decisions. She wasn't the one making the final call. And to be honest with you, as much as I'm not a fan of Maureen Komi, I highly doubt that this story is true. Now, I won't say it's not true 100% because that would be a lie. I don't know I wasn't in the cell, but I'd lean 99% towards the side of things that never happened. The papers don't specify what crimes
Trump would have been implicated in at the time of his death. Epstein was charged with sex trafficking and conspiracy, but it was also suspected in a laundry list of other crimes from financial misdealing to money laundering and blackmail. That's the stuff that's real dangerous for a lot of these people because remember the vast majority of people that were around Jeffrey Epstein weren't engaging in the abuse. But the vast majority of people that were around them were engaging in a whole host of financial crimes. And that's why I've said from the beginning we should focus on that. Because once you open that door, it's going to open the door to everything else. And that's why they haven't focused on it. That's why we never saw Rico. That's why we've never seen a full accounting forensically speaking of anything Epstein was up to. And that's why we're never going to see that in my opinion. Because that's the path to victory. That's the path to transparency. And that's the path to justice. Komi, who acted as lead prosecutor in Tartaglioni's case, was fired by the Justice Department in July. And attempts to reach her for comment were
unsuccessful while the Department of Justice did not respond to her request for comment. Now, look, one thing I will say is that Clayton Howard, one of the guys from the Diddy case, also had some pretty interesting things to say about Marie and Komi. So I mean, you can do it that as you will. But I have a hard time believing that Marie and Komi offered Epstein some kind to deal because I think that if she offered Epstein that kind to deal Epstein and his lawyers would have jumped at it because then they would have had the hammer hanging over the administration's head, as well as controlling the story when it comes to the Department of Justice. That would have been the perfect situation for Jeffrey Epstein. And we know that he's not going to let a situation like that pass them by. So it just doesn't pass the sniff test step into the world of power loyalty and luck. I'm going to make him an offer. He can't refuse with family, canolees, and spins mean everything.

Tartaglioni added in his petition that Epstein told him President Trump was not involved in Epstein's crimes. While that's convenient, as you're looking to get a pardon, huh? Nah, Donald Trump never heard of the guy. What do you mean he's a construction guy? He's never built anything. He never wrote a book called Art of the Deal. He was never on TV. Who's Donald Trump? That's the kind of shit we're hearing from Tartaglioni over here as he's trying to get a pardon. And look, I get it. I'd be saying anything too. Yeah, Donald Trump guy cured cancer. You didn't hear a Donald Trump 18 feet tall and hung like a bull. Whatever it takes to get me the fuck out of jail is what I'd be saying to the two men shared a bunk into Epstein's first suicide attempt allegedly. They just call it a suicide attempt. Really? We don't know if it's a suicide
attempt on July 23rd, 2019, when he was discovered in his cell with bruising on his neck. He was then placed on suicide watch in a secure unit and given a different cellmate when he returned. No mention that Epstein said that this dude attacked him that he assaulted him. That was what Epstein said. Why are we recreating history? Why are we trying to make this dude book like he's some kind of good guy here? We're talking about a corrupt cop, a corrupt police officer who murdered four people. Now, if you want to take stock in anything he has to say and listen to him, that's cool. Me, on the other hand, not believe in a single word that this dude has to say. His death was ruled a suicide, but lapses in security and protocol at the correctional facility and the lack of evidence collected at the time of his death have led to many questions. You mean like the question you're ignoring in this article? The question about what happened that first time around in the cell? Because we all know that Jeffrey Epstein didn't try and kill himself that first time around. We all know that Nicholas Tartaglione assaulted him, and I don't
care what anybody says. I don't believe any of the stuff that we've heard from the jail. The investigation into what happened was bullshit. Epstein says that Tartaglione assaulted him. Tartaglione denies it. I believe what Epstein had to say. It makes the most sense. A former K9 officer and Westchester Tartaglione was convicted of killing four men after a 2016 cocaine deal went wrong and he believed the worker at his animal sanctuary had stolen $230,000. The ex-cop claims in his pardon bid that the prosecution was flawed and the evidence was manipulated by cops to frame him for the murders. Oh yeah, you got frame, buddy. This dude is so corrupt that it's not even funny. He's from my old neck in the woods. And there's no doubt about how corrupt Nicholas Tartaglione is, was, and always will be. In his petition, he alleges a mobile phone involved with the case was tampered with to add his name as a contact after it had been confiscated. He and his lawyers claim video evidence was altered,
spliced, mutilated, and destroyed to suit the prosecution. The pardon request claims the man who worked for Tartaglione, Marcus Cruz, confessed to setting up the murders for a Mexican cartel, but was convinced by an investigator to change his story. Oh yeah, that's exactly what went down. Bro, we know what you did. We heard from the other people involved, and we know that you lured these people out to the spot and then killed them. Tartaglione also claims the star witness at trial, Joseph Biggs, a bodybuilder in school security guard, only implicated him after meeting with prosecutors 30 times and repeatedly lied and fabricated information on the stand. Everybody's a liar, but Tartaglione, you see the trend here? Biggs was sentenced to 17 years in 2024 for his role in the scheme after admitting to pulling the trigger of a gun which killed one of the men. He had been facing life, but his sentence was reduced due to his cooperation. Upon a jury finding him guilty in 2024, a judge slammed Tartaglione,
saying he cared more about animals than the people he killed, calling him delusional, an racist, and citing the overwhelming evidence against him. ABC News reported, yeah, he was cooked. We followed the trial. Bro was cooked. The evidence was irrefutable. And the fact that he's getting up here now and trying to use the Epstein case as some kind of fulcrum to get himself out of prison is foul. And that shit's going to get challenged, believe it, because this dude's exactly where he belongs. Tartaglione claims there have been numerous attempts on his life since Epstein's death, leaving him injured, with a metal plate in his head. Well, I'm sure that those attacks had nothing to do with the fact that you crossed the Mexican mafia, right? Nothing to do with the fact that you screwed this in a lower cartel. I'm sure that they took that kindly. I'm sure that they don't want any retribution. I'm sure they don't have anybody in this jails that you're at. Give me a break, dude. Enough with the nonsense, okay? Nicholas Tartaglione, not exactly a reliable narrator. And frankly, I'm not buying any of it.
