Mega Edition: The DOJ And Their Push For Epstein/Maxwell Grand Jury Documents To Be Unsealed (3/2/26)

0:00What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of The Epstein Chronicles. The Brainiacs, over at the Department of Justice, rolled out their latest publicity stunt like a late-night infomercial, promising miracle results with absolutely zero effort. Act now and will unseal grand jury documents they shout, as if the world hasn't already figured out that grand jury paperwork is a legal equivalent of an empty cereal box. Crinkly noise, zero nutrition, and crumbs of nothing, and I don't know about you, but I'm pretty tired of watching them pretend that this is the key to unlocking the truth. It's more like banging a bunch of pots and pans, thinking that they're conducting the New York Philharmonic. And meanwhile the real problem, the rancid festering corpse called the Non-Prossecution

1:02Agreement, sits in the center of the room like a bloated whale carcass covered by a beach towel, and everyone in government just pretending they can't smell it. They're buying time, hoping that the public loses interest, waiting for another shiny distraction to walk by, wearing a sequined outfit, and big sunglasses. They want to be the heroes in a story where they're the villains wearing cheap Halloween masks. Every time they announce something like this, you'd think Jesus himself just descended from the heavens carrying stone tablets. Instead it's some assist in deputy bureaucrat with the charisma of a wet paper napkin, explaining why releasing redacted transcripts of already known testimony is a revolutionary act. The reporters nod like bobbleheads in a rental corolla, scribbling notes they don't believe because their editors already picked the headline before they left the office. The whole performance smells like somebody for a breezing a murder scene, instead of cleaning it. Everyone pretends not to notice the blood soaking through the carpet. Everyone pretends the flowers on the table hide the stench.

2:05Everyone pretends this is justice instead of theater. These fools aren't opening doors, they're polishing the door knobs. But don't worry they insist, the truth is near. The truth just needs one more carefully scheduled legal maneuver, one more procedural dance number, one more round of sorry we can't comment, an ongoing investigation sung in four part harmony by people whose souls ran away years ago. It's a joke, but nobody laughs because laughing means acknowledging just how absurd this really is. Instead we grid our teeth until they crack. Meanwhile the NPA sits like an unexploded bomb, everyone tipped those around, pretending it's just an oddly shaped decoration. It should have been incinerated the moment evident surface proving the government was deceived, manipulated, and flat out defrauded by Jeffrey Epstein and his band of legal creeps. But of course that would require courage and courage is extinct in Washington unless it comes with a sponsorship deal and a logo backdrop. The NPA is a fortress built to protect reputations, not justice.

3:07It's the emergency parachute for powerful parasites who can't afford to hit the ground. It's the firewall between the truth and the people who would burn for it. And here's the part they won't tell you, but I will. Trump doesn't need Congress, he doesn't need the courts, he doesn't need the DOJ's permission slip or a magic spell from a federal judge. All he needs is a pen and ten seconds of spine density. But every time the subject comes up he calls it a hoax. If he can launch missiles during dessert and brag about it, if he can fire cabinet members the way teenagers delete text messages, if he can rewrite policy by tweeting half drunk at 2am, then he can rip up a fraudulent agreement signed in the shadows to protect predators, but he doesn't. And that's the part nobody wants to say out loud because it burns going up. He won't touch the NPA because it's the skeleton key to every lock room in this whole rotten mansion. They're rearranging rotten hay while pretending the river is coming any minute now. They schedule meetings, to schedule meetings about meetings, they love process because

4:11process delays consequence. Process is their religion, process is their weapon, process is their shield. And every announcement is a rerun. They show it like a sitcom episode from 98 where everyone already knows the punchline but claps anyway. Tonight on a very special episode of Justice Theater, the DOJ pretends to on earth hidden truth while hiding the real truth somewhere else, cue applause, cue dramatic music, cue credits, cue nothing. It's a slow motion con and we're expected to admire the artistry. And if you listen closely you'll notice that nobody empowers, every even uses letters NPA in public. It's Voldemort level forbidden, say it out loud and the walls start sweating. Mention it in a hearing and microphones mysteriously malfunction. Ask a direct question and watch pupils dilate like cornered animals. You'd think the document contained the launch codes for nuclear warheads instead of the truth about a child trafficker and the collection of famous ghouls who rode the gravy train.

5:15They think they can outrun time. They think they can outrun the survivors. They think they can outrun the internet. They really think that you're going to forget. They genuinely believe if they keep dropping shiny distractions like breadcrumbs the public won't notice the wolves. But they don't understand how much has changed. They don't understand rage with direction. They don't understand what happens when ordinary people stop believing in fairy tales. They want a very history alive. They want silence to be permanent. They want closure without accountability. Because the second the NPA dies, everything else goes with it. Every shell collapses. Every secret becomes evidence. Every name becomes oxygen and they know it. That's why they fight like drowning men. So instead we get this song in dance routine about grand jury papers like there's some sacred relic that will change civilization while the real weapon sits on touch behind glass. They're trying to sell knock off justice to people who already paid full price. And if they were smart, they'd rip up the NPA themselves and pretend they always wanted

6:18to. But they're not smart, they're arrogant. And they think that time is on their side. Today's article was published by CNN and the headline. Justice Department again asked judge to unseal Epstein grand jury testimony after Congress passes law. This article was authored by Alison Maine. And this is just to give that red meat out, right? Hey, look, we told the courts to give us this information and they refused. So it's their fault, not Donald Trump's. But we all know that the grand jury process is a lot more difficult than that. Maybe later I'll post the episode where I explain why it's so difficult. Because you don't just get grand jury documentation when you ask for it. There is a whole process. And if you don't fit the parameters of that process, you're not going to get the information. But even more importantly, that information from the grand jury is not going to lead us down any paths where we're going to get to the truth or any kind of justice. Now look, I'm not saying I would want to see it.

7:20I want to see everything. But they're doing this on purpose when they could be focused on, oh, I don't know the NPA. And instead they're over here focused on grand jury documents that they know they're not going to get. The Justice Department has asked a federal judge in Florida to reconsider unsealing grand jury material related to an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein as the agency faces a congressional emanated deadline to release all documents related to the accused sex trafficker next month. A judge in the Southern District of Florida previously denied a request by the DOJ to make public transcripts from the case, which federal prosecutor is asked for due to extensive public interest, but not as part of a judicial proceeding. Epstein committed many of his crimes in Florida. When a Florida judge denied the DOJ's original request, he said, or hands are tied, because the Justice Department sought to release the sealed evidence due to extensive public interest, not as part of a judicial proceeding, which is the usual standard.

8:21When a filing on Friday, the Justice Department cited the passage of a law early last week of a law mandating the release of all of its Epstein files within 30 days arguing, public production of the grand jury material is therefore required. Yo, this is like very, very ridiculous. They're over here demanding that this grand jury shit gets released and not doing the things that are in their power to do. Now if you were doing it all at the same time, great, but they're not. This is nothing more than a performative. This is looking for a scapegoat. This is looking to direct the outrage somewhere else, and I'm not buying it. In light of the act's clear mandate, the court should authorize the Department of Justice to release the grand jury transcripts and lift any pre-existing protective orders that would otherwise prevent public disclosure. The filing says, and look again, I'm not saying that I don't want to see it. I do, but they're trying to pitch it as something it's not. It's not going to be this key that leads us to victory. It's not going to show us things that we don't know.

9:22All it's going to do is add a little context, and while that's important, I think the main thing should be the NPA, and I've said that from the very beginning. That is the most restrictive document in this whole entire thing. But the legislation which President Donald Trump signed into law last week does not specifically mention grand jury material. The law, formerly titled the Epstein Files Transparency Act, was passed by the House of Representatives almost unanimously earlier this month. The Senate then passed the bill through unanimous consent. It's not clear what files the Justice Department will release, or if it won't be released due to some of the ongoing investigations. What a bunch of BS. If they don't release documents because of that investigation, folks, you know the fixes in. Now I'm sure most of you know the fixes in already, but you get my drift. There's no denying it. That's the case. Trump is asked to DOJ to investigate Epstein's ties to many other high profile figures

10:23associated with the Democratic Party, including Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reed Hoffman, JP Morgan, Chase, and many other people and institutions. Pretty sure all those people as far as institution wise are wrapped up with everybody. You think JP Morgan, Chase or the rest of them are just doing banking with one person? Are just doing banking with one side of the aisle? These sons of bitches have their fingers and everybody's pie, including yours. The grand jury testimony that the department seeks to release, however, is only a small portion of the thousands of documents related to the Epstein investigation and criminal case. Many of those documents are already in the Justice Department custody and may not have been presented to the jury in Florida. Look the whole entire thing about Florida too has to be examined. And in fact, we're going to have another episode about that because it's important. The players that were down there need to be held accountable. Everybody that was involved in this non prosecution agreement held accountable at the very

11:26least answer for why they did what they did. And I don't mean some stupid ass OIG report. I mean something with teeth. And for me, the best way to go from here is a special investigator. That is the only way to get to the bottom of it. We can't trust the Justice Department. We can't trust the powers that be so we have to make a different move. And I think that a special investigator ticks off all the boxes. But as far as the grand jury documents go, they're not going to be the be all end all. And in my opinion, the only reason that they're even bringing them up is because they know it's going to be an L because they want to redirect anger. So instead of people being mad at Trump or the administration, instead they turn their rage at the court, it's nothing more than more distraction and more deflection. And unfortunately for them, that shit's not going to work. So cool story, bro, but we're still going to need all those Epstein files. All of the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box.

12:28What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. As the Jeffrey Epstein Mellstrom rages around Donald Trump and his administration, his Justice Department led by Pam Bondy has filed a motion with the court to get the grand jury testimony from Jeffrey Epstein's arrest in 2019 unsealed. And on his face, that sounds like a good idea, right? The more information we have, the better. So I certainly won't turn down getting a look at the grand jury documents. But the problem is it's not that easy. And that's because there's a process that's put into place that makes it very difficult for these records, these documents to ever be released and down in Florida for like 20 years over the grand jury records down there. And you know that when you're dealing with the federal government, you're dealing with an even more a bureaucratic mess than anything else. So anybody who thinks that these records are going to be available and available in a short amount of time, they're crazy.

13:28And in this episode, I'm going to explain why. And the first thing you have to understand is the legal standard. And what you have to understand first is that the grand jury proceedings are secret by default rule six, he outlined strict limits on disclosure. And the main reason that secrecy is preserved is to protect the reputation of people not indicted, encourage full and frank testimony, prevent flight or tampering with witnesses and to protect jurors from external influence. So to get the records unsealed, you have to show a particular eyes need that outweighs the need for continued secrecy. And that standard was laid out in the Douglas oil company versus petrol stops of Northwest 441 US to 11 in 1979. So that's the ruling that governs the grand jury transcripts being released or not. So who can petition for the disclosure? While the following people can petition the court to disclose the grand jury material,

14:28prosecutors, defendants in related criminal cases, civil litigants in related proceedings, journalists or members of the public, though rare and much harder. What's the process to get them unsealed? First you have to file a motion in federal district court. A formal motion must be filed in the court that empaneled the grand jury. The motion must cite rule 6E3E, which lists exceptions to secrecy, including judicial proceedings, grounds for a defendant to challenge an indictment, civil litigation, where the grand jury material is relevant. And then you have to demonstrate a particular eyes need. You have to show that the material is needed to avoid a possible injustice. You have to show that the disclosure outweighs the need for secrecy. And that the request is structured to cover only what is necessary. Then after that we go to court review. Then the judge may review the grand jury materials and camera privately before he decides. The court is going to weigh whether the grand jury investigation has concluded the relevance

15:32of the material and the impact on witnesses, jurors and subjects not charged. And if the motions denied, you can appeal and look for a higher court to review. They can appeal to relevant U.S. courts to appeal and in rare and historical significant cases, the issue has been brought before the U.S. Supreme Court. So is there any precedent for a grand jury documents to be released? Well the courts have granted access in major historical or public interest cases, Water Gate, Rosenberg and the Chicago 8. Congress has sometimes obtained grand jury material for oversight under special circumstances, what is usually requires judicial approval or legislative request with separation of power scrutiny. What are some of the challenges and pitfalls? Well if the government opposes the request, it becomes far more difficult, witness privacy and national security issues often block on ceiling and there is no automatic right to one seal, even for victims or journalists.

16:33So can the president or the attorney general ask for this stuff to be disclosed? The answer is yes, but the grand jury secrecy is controlled by the judiciary, not the executive. So Donald Trump cannot ask for this to be unsealed himself. He has to use his department of justice to do so. Grand jury secrecy is governed by rule 6E and that rule gives a judiciary, not the executive branch, final say, over whether the records can be released. The president or attorney general can ask, but they cannot override the court. The attorney general through the Department of Justice can file a rule 6E3E motion with a federal court. This motion asks the judge to allow disclosure for reasons such as use in a judicial proceeding, at the request of a defendant, at the request of Congress. And this was done for example during the Watergate investigation and the Mueller probe, where the DOJ filed motions to allow limited disclosure to Congress or to the public.

17:35But again, a judge must approve it. The AG has no independent power to unseal without judicial sign-off. And the president, he has no formal role in unsealing. The president has even less authority here. He cannot order grand jury material to be released, cannot access them directly, cannot override rule 6E. The only thing a president can do is encourage the DOJ to file a motion or to classify related material. If national security is involved, but grand jury material is not classified, it's sealed under judicial secrecy rules. So declassification does not apply. And folks need to understand that there are no national interest exceptions. There is no provision in rule 6E that says the public's right to know or executive interest is enough to release grand jury material. The standard remains, particularized need, judicial review, court authorization. Even if the entire country demands release, only the courts can break grand jury secrecy.

18:40Well, what about Congress? Congress or a Congressional committee can request grand jury material as part of an investigation, but even Congress must go to court and prove the material is relevant to the legislative purpose, it's tailored, it satisfies legal exceptions under rule 6E. The process is slow, heavily litigated, and highly controversial, as seen during both the Watergate and Mueller arrow fights over access to sealed materials. But listen, when it comes to uncovering the truth, behind federal criminal investigations, few things are as tightly locked away as grand jury records. These proceedings are designed to be secret. The reason to protect witnesses, shield the reputation of those not indicted, and preserve the integrity of criminal prosecutions. But what if the public interest demands access? But if there is reason to believe those records contain vital information about corruption, cover-ups, or miscarriages of justice? Can anyone unseal them?

19:40The answer is yes, but the path is narrow, steep, and guarded by federal law. The secrecy of grand jury proceedings is governed by rule 6E of the federal rules of criminal procedure. This rule establishes that grand jury material, including testimony, exhibits, transcripts, jury deliberations, are confidential. Not just temporarily, not just until the trial ends, they're secret by default, often indefinitely. Only under very specific circumstances can the secrecy be broken, and even then, it's not easy. Rule 6E is in a suggestion, it's a firewall, and breaching it takes more than curiosity, it takes a compelling legal case. So who can ask for the grand jury records to be unsealed? The short answer is, almost anyone, including journalists, historians, victims, or even members of the public. But the real question is, whether they can convince a federal judge that their need is strong enough to override the default of secrecy.

20:42This is where the standard of particularized need comes in. That phrase comes from the Supreme Court precedent, and is the key to any request for grand jury disclosure. Without it, the judge won't even consider a motion. A particularized need means that you're not just hoping to find something interesting, you must prove that a specific grand jury material you're requesting is necessary to avoid significant injustice. For example, you might need it to support your defense in a criminal trial, or to prove wrongdoing, in a related civil lawsuit, or in rare cases, to reveal historical information that serves the public good. Which is what happened with Watergate tapes, but even then, the burden is entirely on the person making the request. The next step is procedural. You must file a formal motion in federal court. This motion has to be submitted to the same court that oversaw the grand jury in the first place. It must clearly identify which material you want, why you want them, and how releasing

21:43them would not unduly harm the grand jury process. This isn't formality. The court takes these motions seriously, and if they're vague, overbroad, or poorly justified, they'll be denied outright. Once a motion is filed, the federal judge will weigh several factors. First is the grand jury investigation still ongoing, if it is your chances drop significantly. Judges are extremely reluctant to expose an active process to outside scrutiny, but if the investigation is ended, and the reasons for secrecy have diminished, the judge will look at the merits. Are the materials central to your case? Is your request narrowly tailored? Will disclosure endanger witnesses, or harm the reputations of those not charged? If the judge thinks the risk outweighs the reward, the door stays shut? Even when a judge agrees to disclosure, it's almost never a full release. The court may allow access to only a subset of the material, or redact names, or replace the material under a protective order.

22:43That means the person receiving it can't share it publicly. They can use it in their case, but are remained sealed from broader public view. In short, even a victory in court often means a limited win, because the court's goal is always to balance transparency with the integrity of the justice system. Now let's talk about power. Can the attorney general order grand jury records to be unsealed? The answer is no. The attorney general can request disclosure, and often does, through a formal DOJ motion. But the decision still rests with the federal judge. Even the highest law enforcement official in the country must go through the same legal channels as anyone else. The DOJ may argue that the release is in the interest of justice, or national interest, but a camp force, the court's hand. And what about the president of the United States? Surely the president can access anything, right? The president has no legal authority to unilaterally access, or order the release of grand jury material.

23:44These records are protected not just by department policy, but by judicial authority. That means even the president must go through the courts, and most of the president can urge the justice department to file a motion, or express support for transparency, but they cannot make it happen on their own. The structure reflects the balance in the U.S. system, grand jury secrecy, is not under the control of the executive branch, it belongs to the judiciary. And that's by design. It's meant to prevent political interference in criminal investigations, so even in high profile cases, even when the public is demanding answers, the process doesn't bend for political pressure. It holds the line for better or worse. Congress too must go through the courts. Legislative committees can request access to grand jury material if they believe it's necessary for oversight or lawmaking. But they must prove that the materials are directly relevant, and that their request meets the criteria laid out under rule 6E. Even then, it's not guaranteed.

24:46Courts will scrutinize whether the request is truly legislative or merely political. Congress may have subpoena power, but when it comes to grand jury secrecy, that power hits a wall. There have been rare moments in American history where grand jury materials were released to the public. The most famous examples include Watergate, where the court allowed Congress to access Nixon, related grand jury material, and the Mueller investigation, were limited, redacted testimony with shared with Congress, and later made public. But those cases involved extraordinary circumstances, and careful judicial review. There were the exception, not the rule. And it's important to understand that even after decades, courts don't automatically unseal grand jury records. Historians seeking access to records from the 40s or 50s have still had to go through formal litigation sometimes, unsuccessfully. The courts remain fiercely protective of the idea that secrecy is essential to the functioning of the grand jury, even long after the fact.

25:48So where does that leave the victims, journalists, and the public? It leaves them with a long, difficult road. But not a hopeless one? If you can identify a specific injustice, build a narrow, evidence-based case, and show that the need for disclosure outweighs the damage secrecy would cause, a judge can, and sometimes will, authorize release. But the system is designed to make you prove it, not once, not vaguely, not emotionally, but precisely, legally, and convincingly. And yet, the legal wall is what makes the subject so explosive in high stakes, high-profile cases. And the public sees powerful individuals sagating past accountability, or when critical facts are locked behind sealed testimony, suspicion grows. That suspicion isn't always paranoia, it often stems from history, from Watergate to Iran Contra, the Jeffrey Epstein, the American public is seen time and time again, that secrecy can be abused just as easily as it can be justified.

26:49So while the law favors confidentiality, the human instinct to demand answers doesn't go away, it sharpens, it festers, and when grand jury records are the remaining source of truth, people rightly want access. But the law is not about what feels fair, it's about what can be proven. That's the burden anyone seeking disclosure must meet. You can't just say the public deserves to know, you must articulate why that knowledge is essential, what injustice it would correct, and how releasing the material will not compromise the rights of others. If that sounds like a high bar, that's because it is. The law presumes secrecy and you have to flip that presumption, it's not enough to point to headlines or outrage or speculation, you need a legal argument with teeth, you need specificity, you need purpose. Otherwise the court will close the door before you even get your foot in. Even when access is granted there are trade-offs, judges might approve release with conditions, limited sharing, or restrictions on use, and some cases only attorneys may view the

27:54material and others, the court might allow certain parts to be introduced as evidence but bar them from being made public. This means even a successful motion may not result in total transparency. The judiciary still holds the pen and edits cautiously. The process is more surgical than sweeping, designed to balance competing rights, not to serve public curiosity. This tension between secrecy and accountability is one of the law's persistent dilemmas in American law. On one hand secrecy protects the innocent and ensures cooperation on the other. It can shield wrongdoing if left unchecked. The courts have to lock this tight rope with every rule 6E request. They consider not just what's at stake in one case, but what precedent they're setting for all future ones. If they swing the door too wide, they risk gutting the grand jury system, if they never open it, they risk enabling silence, where justice demands speech. That's the judicial burden, balancing trust in the system, with the people's right to

28:56know. Ultimately grand jury secrecy is a test of democratic patience. It demands restraint from the press, discipline from the courts, and faith from the public. It offers no shortcuts. It protects as much as it withholds, but in a climate of distrust where institutions are under a constant suspicion that secrecy often feels like silence, and silence when justice is in question rarely satisfies anyone. That's why the process to unseal exists, not to determine the system, but to provide a controlled legal escape valve when the truth can no longer stay buried, but make no mistake. It's not a shortcut, it's a crucible, and only the strongest claims can survive it, and yet, for all of its legal formality and high-minded rhetoric, the process to unseal grand jury records often feels less like a path to justice, and more like a bureaucratic dead end. Intentionally designed to keep the truth buried under layers of red tape, judicial

29:58deference, and institutional self-preservation. The courts demand a particularized need, but in practice, what they're really demanding is an airtight excuse to not get involved. They cite the integrity of the grand jury system, but rarely confront how the same secrecy can be weaponized, to conceal prosecutorial misconduct, shield the powerful, or erase the voices of victims. The promise of transparency is dangled like a carrot, but when you reach for it, the system reminds you that secrecy isn't the exception, it's the rule. So while technically, yes, there is a legal mechanism to request disclosure, most people will never succeed. When the rare victories are often peric, heavily redacted, tightly controlled, and strategically delayed, until the political urgency is faded. It's a system that pretends to value truth, but only when the truth is no longer dangerous, and when public confidence collapses and conspiracy fills the vacuum, the courts and the justice department act bewildered as if they don't understand how faith erodes, when institutions

31:04treat transparency like a threat. A real verdict here is silent, but deafening, some doors aren't meant to open, no matter who's knocking. And so we're left staring at a system that claims to serve justice, but operates more like a fortress. One where the truth is barricaded, behind legal procedure, and accountability is filtered through a lens of caution, delay, and institutional self-interest. When grand jury secrecy protects the innocent, it serves the purpose, but when it protects the powerful, it becomes a tool of silence. The courts may insist that the process is fair, the justice department may claim it's in good faith, but from the outside looking in, it too often looks like a stall tactic and slow motion. The question is, will this be another exercise, a controlled disclosure, and calculated delay, or will the gates finally crack open in the name of real transparency? Alright folks, that's going to do it for this one. And coming up, we're going to be taking a look at Jeffrey Epstein's initial request for a bail, and the letter that was sent by his lawyers to the judge.

32:08And then we're going to take a look at the order denying that bail as well. And then you can see for yourself inside of that letter, and then inside of the order denying the bail request, what the court has to say about co-conspirators, considering we've been hearing that Jeffrey Epstein's alone wolf and nobody else was involved. I figured it was time to show up with some receipts. So that process begins today. All of the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box. What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. Stop the presses. The department of justice has graced us with an earth-shattering revelation. The grand jury transcripts in the Glenn Maxwell case contain nothing new. Not a, just a recycled pile of the same old filth that we've all seen smeared across core documents, media leaks, and survivor testimony for years. What a shocker. What a twist. Who could have possibly predicted that the DOJ, our fearless gatekeeper of justice, would

33:12waste everyone's time confirming the obvious? So let's just call this what it is, a nothing burger with extra distraction sauce, a theatrical shrug from the very agency that sat on its hands for decades while Jeffrey Epstein was trafficking children like he was running a carpool. This is the DOJ popping out of its hidey hole like a groundhog to tell us, don't worry folks, no bombshells here. As if anyone was expecting them suddenly to grow a spine and admit they buried half the case to protect their buddies in high places. And what exactly do we think they were going to say that the transcripts contain smoking guns that maybe there were names, important names they forgot to prosecute? Please. These people couldn't find a conspiracy if it bit them on the face, signed a non-disclosure agreement and gave them a campaign donation, and that's because this isn't about transparency. Instead, it's a sleight of hand-act. Look over here at the grand jury transcripts they say while the real crimes, financial crimes, intelligence ties, institutional rot remain untouched, uninvestigated, and conveniently ignored.

34:18The DOJ's job at this point seems less about prosecuting predators and more about laundering public outrage into procedural debt ends. And let's not forget this entire, nothing new stunt is their way of patting themselves on the back for keeping the vault sealed. Because if there's nothing new, then surely there's no reason to keep asking questions, right? No reason to keep digging, no reason to unseal records, track money trails, or God forbid, interrogate the fact that half the people who orbited Epstein are still out there, free as birds, counting money, and sleep and easy. You want to talk about an insult wrapped in bureaucracy? This is it. The survivors have blood in public for years, they've named names, they've given dates, they've endured cross-examinations in public doubt, and courtroom trauma. And now instead of justice, they get this little DOJ press puff? We checked, nothing new here. Because if justice was a checklist, as if closure was a formality. So congratulations, DOJ, you've confirmed what everyone already knew.

35:22You opened the closet, took a peek inside, and shouted to the world, no new skeletons. Meanwhile the mansion is still full of corpses you never bothered to exume. Clap for yourselves. That's the performance you're running now, Justice Theatre. It's available on Pacer, popcorn sold at J.P. Morgan, and the curtain never closes. Today's article is from ABC News and the headline. Grand jury transcripts in Glen Maxwell's case contain nothing new according to a DOJ filing. This article was authored by Aaron Kuttersky. Much of what the Justice Department wants a federal judge to unseal from the Glen Maxwell Grand jury investigation is already known, and at least so far, the attorney general is seeking to unseal nothing else according to new court filings on Tuesday. And I'll have that court filing for you in full either today or tomorrow. That way you can take a look at it yourself and see what the DOJ has to say.

36:22The Justice Department turned over a version of the Maxwell Grand jury transcripts that identifies which information is not already publicly known. That annotated version shows that much of the information provided during the course of the Grand jury testimony with the exception of the identities of certain victims and witnesses was made publicly available at trial or as otherwise been publicly reported through the public statements of victims and witnesses, the filing said. Well, no shit. The whole entire point of what the DOJ was doing was obfuscation. Trying to show you, hey look, we care, we're concerned, we're doing something about this, we're investigating. But the truth is if they were investigating, they would have come out without memo, they would have said, look, there's nothing left to see here and no more information for any of you. The truth is Trump didn't expect the blowback that he got. So they had to scramble and try to figure things out on the fly. And this is not the story to do that with. There's way too much information out there and way too many people know the scoop and we're

37:26not talking about a JFK kind of situation. The people who were involved, a lot of them are still alive. So if you want the truth, all you have to do is listen to what they're saying, but instead the DOJ decides to go get in bed with a serpent, bend over backwards for and give her accommodations. Does that sound like justice to you? Does that sound like the DOJ cares about the victims and the survivors of Epstein and Maxwell? It certainly doesn't look like that to me. Instead it looks like the DOJ is trying to cover their own ass. The Justice Department is asking two federal judges in New York to unseal Granjury transcripts in the Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein cases. It's not asking the judges to unseal the Granjury exhibits, though the Attorney General asked for several more days to consider its position with respect to unsealing of the Granjury exhibits, the filing said. They have no desire to show you anything that's real or anything that's of note. They want to recycle information and give you shit we already know.

38:30What they're counting on is a lot of people not understanding the story and thinking they're getting something new, and it's just like with that first phase release they did with the white binders. They have no idea what they're talking about with this story. They tried to use it for a political gain and it blew up directly in their face, and now they're in scramble mode to try and save face as much as possible, but at this point I don't think it's possible, they just keep digging the whole deeper for themselves. The Epstein Granjury met twice on June 18, 2019, and July 2, 2019, before he was indicted on charges accusing him of sexually exploiting and abusing dozens of minor girls. The Maxwell Granjury met on June 29, 2020, July 8, 2020, and March 29, 2021. Before she was indicted on charges, she conspired with Epstein to entice minors to a travel so they could engage in illegal sex acts. And not only that, we all know she was abusing them, and I got to keep bringing that up obviously

39:30because these articles leave it out. And while trafficking human beings is one of the most horrible things you could ever do, abusing children, in my opinion, is the most heinous act one can engage in. Even if you're engaging in that kind of behavior, you should be put under the jail, not sent to camp Brian. Maxwell was convicted and is serving a 20-year prison sentence at an all-female federal prison camp in Brian, Texas, where she was recently moved from a minimum security prison in Tallahassee, Florida. The Justice Department said it has provided notice of the unceiling motions to all but one of the victims who were referenced in the Granjury transcripts. Several prosecutors have been unable to contact the remaining victim. Probably unhiding. Probably does want to talk to the DOJ because the DOJ keeps screwing them. Imagine if it was your daughter who was abused by Maxwell and you wake up to this news. Oh, the lion Maxwell, the DOJ's new darling, has been moved to Brian, Texas.

40:32What? Am I dreaming? Did I take LSD before I went to bed last night? How's that even possible? Well, it's possible because you have a DOJ. That's more concern with protecting its donors and the people that are friendly to the administration. Then they are when it comes to pursuing justice, in the matter of Jeffrey Epstein and Glenn Maxwell's crimes. And that's been proven to us time and time again. That's not speculation. That's not hyperbole. It's a fact. With respect to the victims who are not identified. In the Granjury transcripts, but who have previously received victim notification, in the Maxwell and Epstein matters, the government will over the coming days alert those victims to the fact of the unceiling motions, the filing said. On Monday, the court placed on the DOJ letters from anonymous purported Epstein victims criticizing the Trump administration's approach. Look, I've heard directly from survivors and none of them are happy with what's going on. None of them. Not one of them.

41:32And that's because they were promised transparency, and instead they get more roadblocks, more confiscation, and more bullshit. This should be a really easy matter. All the information's there, classify whatever's classified as far as victim names, victim identification, but besides that, everybody else who's named in those documents should be outed. And of course, it doesn't mean that you were taking part in what Epstein was up to, but that doesn't erase the fact that you had a relationship with them, that you were friendly with them. You might have some information that's important to blowing the doors off the whole case. Maybe some of these people saw some of those unnamed girls from Eastern Europe. Maybe some of them know some of these Brazilian girls that were brought in through MC squared, or what about the girls in Guatemala, or Ecuador, or what about the girls in Yugoslavia? What about the girls in Ukraine? These are all the hunting grounds, the fertile hunting grounds that Jean-Luc Brunel was using

42:33to bring girls in for Epstein. And if you think any of them are confident in what's going on, as far as the way the DOJ is handling things, you're crazy. There's no way. So if the DOJ is handling things like this, why would anyone come forward at this point, and add their name and their voice to the growing storm? Just going to cause them more trouble, and obviously nobody's interested in any kind of justice, so why should anyone come forward? Now if you flip the script, and the DOJ was bringing in survivors and victims of Epstein and Maxwell and talking to them, well, we'd have a different conversation, but unfortunately, we don't. And in my opinion, that's all by design. All of the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
