A Case Study in Hypocrisy: Dan Bongino and Epstein (12/5/25)

As workers continue preparing Marsh Farm on King Charles’s Sandringham estate for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s impending relocation, a pest control van from Command Pest Control was recently spotted at the property — a sign that staff are dealing with the kinds of rodents and other critters that often invade old country homes, especially in winter when rats and mice seek warmth indoors. Command Pest Control, which holds a Royal Warrant, specializes in removing unwanted pests like rats, mice, squirrels, and wasp nests, and sightings of the vehicle underscore the basic, unglamorous work involved in readying the modest five-bedroom farmhouse for the disgraced royal’s arrival.The moment is rich with unintended symbolism: as a man once enveloped in royal privilege is being moved into a far humbler estate residence, pest controllers are literally hunting rats at the place he’s set to occupy. That juxtaposition has not been lost on observers, who note the irony of a two-legged “rat” of scandal and controversy — Andrew, whose reputation has been shredded by his links to Jeffrey Epstein — being housed among four-legged rats, the kind property managers are actively trying to evict. It’s a vivid, almost satirical image of how drastically his circumstances have changed, from Windsor grandeur to rural pest preparation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ratcatcher pest firm is spotted outside Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's new Sandringham home - while former prince rides horse near Royal Lodge as he prepares to move out | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

A brand-new CNN/SSRS poll shows overwhelming public dissatisfaction with how the Justice Department under the Trump administration has handled the release of documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. Only 6% of Americans say they’re satisfied with the amount of information released so far — even though Congress passed a law in late 2025 requiring the DOJ to disclose all unclassified Epstein-related files. The data reveal that nearly two-thirds of Americans believe the government is intentionally withholding information, a sentiment especially strong among Democrats and independents, though it crosses party lines. The low approval reflects frustration with heavy redactions, slow disclosure, and missed deadlines that have left less than a tiny fraction of the files public despite mounting calls for transparency.In a separate but related development, a large public installation appeared on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. around Epstein’s birthday: a replica of an alleged birthday card from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein. The mock card, part of a protest art piece by an anonymous group, draws attention to the controversial relationship and the broader Epstein controversy. The artwork references a note reportedly found in Epstein’s “birthday book,” which Trump has denied writing, and invites visitors to leave messages criticizing the handling of the files and the administration’s response. It has become a focal point for discussion and protest, underscoring how the Epstein issue continues to resonate politically and culturallyto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Six percent of Americans satisfied with amount of Epstein files released so far: PollGiant Recreation of Birthday Message Trump Reportedly Sent to Epstein Displayed in D.C.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Scott Jennings’ remark that people shouldn’t get their “knickers twisted” over Jeffrey Epstein was a textbook example of elite minimization dressed up as pundit smugness. By framing outrage over Epstein as emotional overreaction, Jennings reduced an industrial-scale sex-trafficking operation—one protected by wealth, power, and institutional failure—into a nuisance topic people should simply move past. His comment treated Epstein not as the epicenter of a still-unresolved criminal network, but as an inconvenient media obsession that distracts from more “serious” political discourse. In doing so, Jennings implicitly scolded the public for caring too much about unanswered questions, uncharged accomplices, and a justice system that visibly bent itself into knots to protect powerful people.What made the comment especially galling was its timing and tone. Jennings wasn’t speaking from ignorance; he was speaking from comfort—the comfort of someone untouched by the consequences of elite impunity. Telling people not to get upset about Epstein functions as narrative control, whether intentional or not: it pressures the public to accept silence, forget victims, and normalize the idea that some crimes are simply too awkward to fully confront. It echoed a broader media instinct to downplay Epstein precisely because sustained scrutiny threatens institutions, donors, and political figures across party lines. In that sense, Jennings’ flippant phrasing wasn’t just dismissive—it was revealing, a small but telling glimpse into how casually the ruling class expects the public to swallow unfinished justice and move on.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:CNN’s MAGA pundit Scott Jennings says people shouldn’t ‘get our knickers in a twist’ over Epstein’s crimes | The IndependentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s unpublished memoir The Billionaire’s Playboy Club recounts her recruitment into Jeffrey Epstein’s world as a 16-year-old working at Mar-a-Lago, where she says Ghislaine Maxwell lured her in with promises of opportunity and travel. The manuscript describes how she became trapped in Epstein’s orbit, allegedly forced into sexual encounters with powerful men, including Prince Andrew, and ferried across his properties in New York, Florida, and the Virgin Islands. Giuffre paints a detailed picture of coercion, psychological manipulation, and the disturbing normalization of exploitation within Epstein’s high-society circle.In this episode, we begin our journey through that memoir.   to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Virgina Giuffre Billionaire's Playboy Club | DocumentCloudBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The lead-up to Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial was marked by years of delay, institutional reluctance, and a sudden scramble once Jeffrey Epstein was no longer alive to absorb the blame. After Epstein’s death in federal custody in 2019, public pressure intensified over how a trafficking operation of that scale could exist without accomplices. Maxwell, long described by survivors as Epstein’s right hand, recruiter, and enforcer, initially remained free, living quietly and largely untouched while outrage simmered. Federal authorities offered little reassurance that a meaningful investigation was underway, reinforcing the perception that Epstein had been treated as a convenient endpoint rather than the center of a network. When Maxwell was finally arrested in July 2020, nearly a year after Epstein’s death, it felt less like proactive justice and more like a belated concession to public scrutiny. Prosecutors framed the case as overdue accountability, but critics noted that the government had years to act while Epstein was alive and chose not to.As the trial approached, the government’s strategy became clearer and more controversial. Prosecutors narrowed the timeframe of the charges to the mid-1990s and early 2000s, limiting the scope of testimony and insulating many powerful figures from exposure. Pretrial battles focused on evidence access, witness credibility, and Maxwell’s detention conditions, while survivors prepared to testify about recruitment, grooming, and abuse they said Maxwell directly facilitated. The defense attempted to recast Maxwell as a peripheral figure and leaned heavily on Epstein’s 2008 non-prosecution agreement, despite its obvious moral and legal limitations. Meanwhile, the DOJ maintained a careful distance from broader questions about uncharged co-conspirators, reinforcing the impression that the trial was designed to close a chapter, not open new ones. By the time jury selection began, the case had come to symbolize not just Maxwell’s alleged crimes, but the government’s long-standing failure to confront Epstein’s network honestly and in full view of the public.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Dr. Michael Baden, a veteran forensic pathologist hired by Jeffrey Epstein’s brother to oversee the autopsy, sharply criticized the U.S. Department of Justice Inspector General’s (OIG) report, which affirmed the official finding that Epstein’s death was a suicide due to “negligence and misconduct” by prison staff. Baden called the report “ridiculous” and accused investigators of ignoring key forensic evidence inconsistent with hanging—particularly multiple fractures in Epstein’s neck, such as to the hyoid and thyroid cartilage, which he asserted are exceedingly rare in suicidal hangings based on decades of experience. He emphasized that he was not consulted during the OIG’s investigation, despite his presence at the autopsy, arguing that a thorough probe would have considered these anomalies.The OIG’s report, released in June 2023, concluded that systemic failures—such as guards falsifying records, broken cameras, lack of proper inmate monitoring, and protocol breaches—enabled Epstein to take his own life. It upheld the medical examiner’s suicide ruling and found no evidence of foul play. However, Baden’s dissent, rooted in those distinct injuries and procedural exclusion, has reignited public skepticism and conspiracy theories around Epstein’s death. The divide underscores the tension between institutional conclusions and unresolved forensic questions that continue to haunt this high-profile case.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Forensic Pathologist Slams Dept.
