1:00future is happening fast and it's way too fun to miss. What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche gave an interview where he was talking about the DOJ and their handling of the Epstein files. And of course it was as ridiculous as you can imagine because Todd Blanche is not being honest or truthful about what went on or what's going on and Todd Babybilly Blanche still hasn't responded or answered any questions about why Golan Maxwell is getting the kind of treatment that she's getting and then for him to get up there during this interview and just straight up lied everybody is pretty disgusting but unfortunately it's also expected and I know that comes as a shock to people because this obviously is and was the most transparent administration in history. Just ask

2:01them. Do they ever make a statement without telling a lie or without stretching the truth and you know I found something pretty interesting yesterday when Joe Kent resigned from his position within the White House. All of a sudden there was this gigantic turn and everybody on social media that is hardcore MAGA. Dogpiled started calling them all kinds of names, a traitor, he's a leaker, he's this, he's that and it's the same exact strategy they used during the Epstein files. Remember they tried to turn the narrative and blame the survivors for being traffickers and it's the same as vile people doing that shit to this Joe Kent character and look I'm not even talking about the politics stash that I'm talking about the strategy right and the strategy is always to be on the offense deflect blame other people and play what about ism and that's what the

3:05whole entire Trump administration has done since the election and in this article we're about to read from CNN baby Billy Todd Blanche is cracking open the old playbook this article was published by CNN and the headline deputy AG blanche defense DOJ's work on Epstein case head of closed door hill briefing this dude needs to be held accountable for his part in this cover up we got Donald Trump's personal lawyer investigating Donald Trump and his friends yeah that's going to work out great this article was authored by Hannah Rabinowitz deputy attorney general Todd Blanche defended the justice department's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and asserted it does not have new evidence to prosecute anyone for crimes related to the convicted sex offender in an interview released on Tuesday sure no financial crimes no crimes whatsoever no crimes of any girls being abused no man act no transporting people

4:09across state lines for sexual purposes no wire fraud no rico nothing everything was on the up and up and if you don't believe that what are you some kind of conspiracy theorist imagine anybody in the Trump administration attempting to tag anybody as a conspiracy theorist especially when the real conspiracy here is the United States government continuing to conspire to protect Jeffrey Epstein's friends that's the real conspiracy I'm not trying to defend Epstein I'm not Blanche said in one exchange with Katie Miller a former Trump administration spokesperson honor podcast I do defend the work that this department is doing today right now which is going after every single perpetrator everywhere and if there's a narrative that exists that we're ignoring Epstein's victims that is false no it's not you're a liar Katie Miller is a very disgusting human being first of all and this whole entire segment is propaganda just trying to get the troops in line

5:10and you notice Todd Blanche cares so much about the survivors that he came out and corrected Anna Paulina Luna for her bullshit right oh wait that didn't happen so you're telling me that Todd Blanche is a liar and he doesn't care about the survivors yeah that's exactly what I'm telling you Blanche comments come as he an attorney general Pound Bondi are scheduled to brief members of Congress behind closed doors Wednesday on the investigation the justice department has been fiercely criticized for its handling of the Epstein files and his work to fend off pressure from lawmakers and the public who still question how the investigation into the convicted sex offender and disgrace financier unfolded and you're a conspiracy theorist for asking those questions meanwhile you have Donald Trump giving an interview yesterday talking about how it costs two billion dollars to buy these tankers that are sailing through the straight of hormones meanwhile those tankers are nowhere near that price but he just spurts off whatever he wants and Todd Blanche

6:12has the audacity to talk about conspiracy theories aren't they engaged in one right now talking about Joe Kent leaked all that information well let's see the evidence they sure like to make a bunch of accusations don't they but they're always short on the evidence but it doesn't even matter anymore right if the administration gives marching orders all the quizzlings fall in line and we've seen it time and time again throughout this presidency every time somebody has the audacity to go against Trump it becomes a violent mob like activity and those people are turned on and maligned by these hardcore rabid mega supporters I mean take a look at what happened a Marjorie Taylor take a look at what's happening the Thomas Massey and me personally I think that kind of mob like mentality is very dangerous and I think it leads to a very very dark place people need to think for themselves in my opinion group think never leads to a good place in the hour long interview Miller who is married to Steven Miller president Donald Trump's deputy chief of staff press blanche

7:16repeatedly to explain why the public should trust what the justice department says about a handling of the Epstein case there is nothing he can say that would make me trust him bro is in way over his head that deposition with Glenn Maxwell is going to go down as one of the most disgusting displays we've ever seen from the Attorney General's office it was completely embarrassing I mean how many depositions have we been through where it's been confrontational look at the Tove and the well deposition we're going through right now not one single second during that Maxwell interrogation if that's what you want to call it was there any kind of adversarial approach everything was about getting Maxwell on the record let Maxwell tell her story why Todd blanche what kind of narrative are you trying to spin and why are you trying to do it and who does it help that's really the question right because that's the end game help his friends help the donors and make sure that your dance

8:18into the tune coming out of the White House but that's not supposed to be the role of the Attorney General's office unfortunately all the Attorney General's office is now is another extension of the executive branch Miller push blanche on longstanding theories that still dominate online speculation including whether Epstein was murdered in his jail cell or if the FBI was in possession of a list of clients that he kept but also to explain why the FBI appears to have little insight into cameras set up inside Epstein's home and why new cases were being brought abroad but not in the United States and of course he had no answers no good ones because there are no good answers all there is is spin and bullshit and Mr. Blanche is serving that up in heaps President Barack Obama Virginia we are counting on you Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to raid the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years but you can stop them by voting yes by April 21st help put our elections back on a level playing field and let

9:25voters decide not politicians vote yes by April 21st paid for by Virginians for fair elections every day the world gets a little weirder and a lot more awesome cool stuff daily takes a look at everything from mining and space to the latest in the fight against cancer to how AI is basically changing everything it's all the cool stuff you didn't know you need it to know join us for cool stuff daily as we take a quick look at science tech and the wait what stories that make you sound way smarter at dinner subscribe to cool stuff daily now because the future is happening fast and it's way too fun to miss how is it that the UK can do more on Prince Andrew that we can for any single one of these wealthy elite billionaires and people in government even and not have one prosecution not hold one person accountable Miller asked Blanche responded well because you need

10:28provable evidence and so what I can do as a deputy general is invite anybody with evidence to come to the FBI and tell us which is what we've been screaming from the rooftops for a year you're a liar bro I'll just straight up say it I have zero fear to tell Todd Blanche that he's a liar because that's what I think he is and he thinks this is all just a big ass joke and I wonder if he's going to feel that same way when the next administration takes charge and really looks into how this was handled because you know that's coming you know it's coming and if they think they're going to rely on a pardon they might be in trouble there too because if people get creative and I have a feeling they will tool sovereignty will come into play so this is a situation for people like Todd Blanche and Pam Bondy Cash Patel everybody else out here speaking obvious falsehoods under oath that's leaving them exposed later on down the road because remember this

11:29administration is only temporary they're going to be gone someday and new people are going to be sitting in the White House and I have a funny feeling they're going to want to know some more about what happened when it comes to this investigation how is it that the UK can do more on Prince Andrew than we can for any single one of these wealthy elite billionaires and people in government even and not have one prosecution not hold one person accountable Blanche responded well because you need provable evidence and so what I can do is the deputy general is invite anybody with evidence to come to the FBI and tell us which is what we've been screaming from the rooftops for a year Andrew Mountbatten Windsor formerly known as Prince Andrew was arrested last month on suspicion of misconduct in public office he's previously denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein and said that he never witnessed or suspected any of the behavior of which the sex offender was accused while we're learning now that the investigation into Andrew as I predicted is expanding

12:33and they're looking into other aspects of the claims of his behavior while with Jeffrey Epstein including the allegations made by Virginia so Todd Blanche better be very very careful with what he says asked about cameras in Epstein's home Blanche said they were installed years after the initial investigation that's a lie too those cameras were removed during the initial investigation by Jeffrey Epstein's people the hard drives everything was removed is this guy for real the deputy attorney general also dismissed other conspiracy theories including Epstein being connected to an intelligence agency the body willed out of Epstein's cell actually being a body double and Epstein being connected to the years old Pizzagate conspiracy theory you don't believe that ice cream is a coded word for something else Miller asked referencing the Pizzagate theory which claims people use code words to describe abuse look those emails sent

13:37in those wiki leaks emails that were released weird as hell still no explanation for it and there's no doubt that we're talking about weird shit like spirit cooking this is all verifiable you can read them yourself but does that mean that Pizzagate is real I don't think so not the way it was packaged the emails were real what those guys were up to was probably pretty scummy but there's no verifiable evidence to back it up and don't give me no shit about Isaac capy either okay or frazzled drip bunch of bs all that stuff was put in the way as a roadblock to the truth when it comes to Epstein just another siop that was being run to counter the truth of this story from ever becoming mainstream so they wanted to call everybody crazy say everybody was some kind of conspiracy theorist and boy they really slammed that shit home didn't they they broke out the q a non they had Pizzagate

14:38so everybody thought that Epstein was part of that but any serious investigator understood right away that these were very very distinct and different situations one was real and the other one well was a siop i'm not saying ice cream is never coded for something else blanche said Miller and rapid fire questions asked you believe in the files it refers to something sexual related to underage girls i think there were all kinds of references to sexual to underage women in the files which is why Epstein was such a disgusting man blanche responded but that's a different question do i believe that there's any validity to the Pizzagate conspiracy i do not well that's something that we actually agree on so i guess a broken clock is even right twice a day but for the other bs that blanche was bitten during this interview talk about a bunch of nonsense and talk about somebody that is not a serious lawman i'm sorry but he's not in fact he's the epitome of a DEI higher i thought we hated that i thought we were going away from that

15:42unless of course it's the trump administration themselves then it's okay but look folks they're going to continue trying to gaslight you they're going to continue to try and tell you that there's nothing to see here that there was nobody else involved and that Jeffrey Epstein was just some kind of a lone predator and previously unfortunately that sort of narrative would have worked but not anymore and that's because all of you fantastic people refuse to believe the bullshit and the fact that they think that any of us are ready to move on might be their biggest miscalculation yet all the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description
