Nicholas Tartaglione And His Jailhouse Interview

About this episode

Nicholas Tartaglione is a former police officer in New York who was arrested and charged in 2016 for his involvement in a drug-related quadruple homicide. Prosecutors alleged that Tartaglione lured four men to a bar in Orange County, New York, where they were tortured and killed over a drug deal dispute. The case garnered widespread attention due to the brutality of the murders and Tartaglione's prior law enforcement career. While awaiting trial, Tartaglione was held in the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York City, where he briefly shared a cell with Jeffrey Epstein.

Tartaglione’s connection to Epstein became significant after Epstein was found injured in his cell in July 2019, weeks before his death. Reports suggested that Tartaglione may have attacked Epstein, though he denied any involvement, claiming he attempted to assist Epstein instead. The incident fueled speculation and conspiracy theories, especially following Epstein’s death by apparent suicide in August 2019. Tartaglione’s presence in Epstein’s cell during a critical period added to public scrutiny of the MCC, highlighting concerns about inmate safety and accountability within the facility.

In a recent jailhouse interview, Nicholas Tartaglione, a former police officer convicted of a 2016 quadruple homicide, revealed that federal prosecutors had offered Jeffrey Epstein a plea deal in exchange for incriminating information on then-President Donald Trump. Tartaglione, who shared a cell with Epstein at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan weeks before Epstein's death in August 2019, recounted that Epstein discussed the possibility of fabricating information to secure a lighter sentence but ultimately claimed to have no substantial information on Trump. Tartaglione also mentioned that Epstein considered cooperating to protect his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell. These revelations shed new light on the legal strategies considered during Epstein's incarceration and the pressures he faced prior to his death.

Když se zajímáte ozdraví, potřebujete informace, kterým můžete věřit, takové, které vznikají spraxe a seskutečnou pečí, proto v ozetpevznikl Ebonus, online-magazín ozdraví prevenci a životním stilu. Navštivte Ebonus od ozetpev, pejče od to nejcenější, co máte.

2019. Epstein told his lawyers that Tartag Leoni roughed him up, which the cellmate denied. Epstein was removed from Tartag Leoni's cell and put on suicide watch. He killed himself three weeks later, on August 10, though questions over the possibility of foul play remained. While he was supposed to be placed with a new cellmate, Epstein was alone, according to a report from the Department of Justice, Inspector General. Yeah, you know the report with all those pages that told us nothing, fix nothing, did nothing, yeah that same report. Epstein at the time was facing a raft of charges from federal prosecutors, including sex trafficking of minars, and sexual exploitation, and abuse. You know, did he's fellow traveler, right? Od ozetpev, pejče od to nejcenější, co máte.

Bunches scumbags, the whole lot of them. According to Tartag Leoni, Epstein said he knew Trump only socially, and the two were not friendly. In fact, he said Trump wants through him out of a party at Mar-a-Lago for being flirtatious with young women. Well, that all tracks, we all know that. And while there is zero doubt that Trump and Epstein were friends at one point, there's also zero doubt that they had a falling out. And after all is said and done, after all that we've seen after the past eight years or so, you really mean to tell me that if they had something on Trump and Epstein, we wouldn't know about it already. That would be the crown jewel for them, right? But as of this date, that evidence hasn't appeared. Now if they did the same kind of due diligence, and looked into Bill Clinton, and Jeffrey Epstein, well, it would be a completely different story, wouldn't it? But at this point, we should not expect that to happen. Hell, they won't even talk about Stacy Plaskit currently being sued by Epstein's survivors, because it doesn't fit their narrative. I said, well, do you know Trump? Tartag Leoni claimed in the phone call. He says, well, you know, I know him, I met him,

but we don't like each other. I laughed. I said, why? He said Trump threw me out of a party at his place in Florida. I said, why you throw you out? He said, oh, he got mad. I was talking to some girl. By now I got wind of what he was in there for. Tartag Leoni told the interview, and I said, how old was the girl, Jeff? And he says, oh, about 18 or 19? Well, that's a demonstrable lie right there. He just got wind of what Epstein was in there for. He had no idea, huh? Okay, sure. Mr. Cobb had no idea. So I was a cop, I said, Jeff, that means probably 14 and 15, and he says, well, he threw me out. I haven't talked to him since. It's not clear when the party was. Tartag Leoni said Epstein admitted, I don't know anything about Trump. Now I buy that. I don't think that Epstein and Trump were confidants. Did they know each other? Sure. Did they hang out in the early days? They did. Did everybody in New York's upper crust hang out? Most certainly, just like Obama and Diddy were really close. Money begets money, right? And like I've always said,

the people that have this kind of dough, they don't give a shit about you. You're nothing to them, and your children, well, they're nothing but fodder for war or a play thing. That's how these ultra elite live their lives, all of them. Tartag Leoni added that Epstein was additionally considering turning because he wanted to save his girlfriend, a likely reference to Glay in Maxwell, who was sentenced to 20 years for sex trafficking in 2022. Before his death, Epstein said that he had so much dirt on Trump and Hillary Clinton that he could have had the 2016 election canceled, his brother Mark Epstein told the post last year. See, so it doesn't really add up, somebody's lying. And the reason why it's so confusing and why people don't have the real story is because Epstein was the ultimate misinformation merchant. This man knew how to redirect things, knew how to get a conversation going in a way that benefited him. So of course he's going to talk like he has all kinds of compromise on people because you know why he did. So again, the whole

conversation with Tartag Leoni that he is recounting here, I just don't believe. Krause, who posted the conversation with Tartag Leoni, additionally reported on her substack that the ex-cop was choked and stabbed by other inmates in October. A spokesman for the Bureau of Prisons declined the comment on the matter. Well, that's what happens when you kill cartel members or associates over a drug debt. What you thought you were going to federal prison as an ex-cop and shit was going to be butter. Krause 45 told the post that she was first introduced to the killer two years ago and believes he was wrongly convicted. We were introduced by a friend in comment almost two years ago. Nick knows I record him. He believes I can help improve his conviction is unjust. Krause said Tartag Leoni's attorneys declined the comment. Reps for Manhattan federal prosecutors declined the comment on Tartag Leoni's allegations. Legal experts told the post that the reported Fed offered Epstein sounded plausible. Anything is possible when it comes to

high profile cases like this, they are career makers, said Alan Dershowitz, a close confidant of Trump who represented him during his first impeachment. Um, what? You mean Dershowitz who represented Jeffrey Epstein? Is that what you mean? So we're going to go to Alan Dershowitz to get commentary here. Ah, that's a good idea. It could have originated at some point. Lower than the U.S. attorney or one of the middle-ranking officials at the Southern District of New York or the FBI. They're always looking to make cases. Oh, give me a break, such bullshit. Such absolute bullshit. Added defense lawyer Jason Goldman, federal prosecutors in particular are known to conduct these types of proper sessions. Defendants facing extreme sentences are a pressure to name names and conform to the government's version of the truth, even when there may be some resistance. The threat to prosecute Maxwell is extremely plausible. The fact that he wasn't simply arrested alongside Epstein, but rather only later on after his unwillingness to implicate Trump and after

his apparent suicide speaks volumes about the government's tactics. Nope, I don't buy that, sorry, that's defense attorney's speak. And frankly, all of this is a plot for Nicholas Tartag Leoni to get an appeal. That's what this is. Nothing more, nothing less. Until the questions answered, who signed off on Tartag Leoni being in that jail cell, why they signed off on it, I really don't care what kind of narrative that Tartag Leoni's trying to pitch. It matters little to me. And at the end of the article here, it tells you exactly what the motivation behind all of this is. They think that Nicholas Tartag Leoni was wrongfully convicted. And am I the only one that's getting tired of all of that shit? Every time somebody gets arrested, there's like this group of people that come out and they're like, oh, they were wrongfully convicted. They're wrongfully being charged. Meanwhile, there's a stack of evidence showing us that, well, that's not the case. And this is one of those cases where there's a stack of evidence. And I have no doubt that Nicholas Tartag Leoni is guilty of the crimes he was charged with. But frankly, that's not even what

I'm concerned with. For me, I need to know what was going on with the whole process of putting him in the jail cell, who made those decisions, who signed off on it, and why they signed off on it. Those are the questions that should be asked. And those are the questions that should be answered. And until that occurs, you can expect my fat ass yap to keep running. But until then, that's going to do it for this one. All of the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
