Mega Edition: Les Wexner And His Reign At The Top (10/12/25)

Ken Starr—a former independent counsel famed for the Clinton–Lewinsky investigation—was one of the high-powered attorneys who joined Epstein’s defense team during the 2006–2008 case in Florida. Starr’s influence proved pivotal; according to Miami Herald reporter Julie K. Brown’s book Perversion of Justice, he orchestrated a “scorched‑earth” campaign that leveraged his political connections in the Bush administration to pressure the Justice Department into approving a highly favorable plea deal for Epstein. Starr even wrote an aggressive eight‑page letter to Deputy Attorney General Mark Filip arguing that prosecutors were acting improperly—an approach reminiscent of Starr’s own high-profile “Starr Report” while investigating President ClintonThough Starr’s aggressive defense helped secure Epstein’s notorious 2008 non‑prosecution agreement—which shielded Epstein from broader federal trafficking charges and limited his punishment to just over a year in county jail under lenient conditions—there's no record of any serious repercussions for Starr himself. His legal tactics may be viewed as emblematic of how elite influence and aggressive lobbying can skew justice in favor of the powerful, but Starr faced no formal sanctions or professional fallout from his involvementTo contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comSource:https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jul/13/ken-starr-jeffrey-epstein-bookBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

On August 22, 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice released redacted transcripts and audio recordings of a two-day interview it conducted in July with Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year federal prison sentence for her role in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring. During the interview, Maxwell denied ever seeing any inappropriate behavior by former President Donald Trump, describing him as a “gentleman in all respects,” and insisted she “never witnessed the president in any inappropriate setting in any way.” She also rejected the existence of a so-called “client list,” countering years of speculation, and claimed to have no knowledge of blackmail or illicit recordings tied to Epstein.In addition to defending high-profile figures, Maxwell expressed doubt that Epstein’s death was a suicide, while also rejecting the notion of an elaborate conspiracy or murder plot. The release of the transcripts—handled under the Trump-era Justice Department—has stirred sharp political debate. Trump allies have framed her remarks as vindication, while critics and Epstein’s survivors question her credibility, pointing to her conviction and suggesting her words may be aimed at influencing potential clemency or political favor.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Interview Transcript - Maxwell 2025.07.24 (Redacted).pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The official story has always painted Alex Acosta as the man solely responsible for Jeffrey Epstein’s non-prosecution agreement, but that version is designed to mislead. Acosta was a mid-level figure, a convenient scapegoat set up to absorb public outrage while the real decisions were made in Washington. Attorney General Michael Mukasey, Deputy Attorney General Mark Filip, and other senior DOJ brass were the ones who met with Epstein’s powerful legal team, signed off on the immunity clause, and ensured the deal protected not only Epstein but his co-conspirators. Acosta merely carried out orders that had already been determined above him, and when the truth started to unravel, he was offered up as the fall guy to shield the institution.The failure to subpoena everyone involved—from state prosecutors to Main Justice leadership—reveals that Congress is more interested in theater than accountability. By focusing blame on Acosta, the system preserved itself, kept survivors from the truth, and avoided admitting the uncomfortable reality that DOJ itself bent the law to protect a billionaire predator. True justice requires putting every official who touched the deal under oath, including Mukasey and Filip, to expose how the NPA was engineered. Until that happens, the scandal remains unresolved and the cover-up intact, with Acosta remembered not as the architect of Epstein’s freedom, but as the shield sacrificed to keep the powerful safe.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The allegations that the Clintons vacationed at Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch are more than just idle rumor—they strike at the heart of the Clintons’ long pattern of lying, minimizing, and hiding behind carefully scripted denials. Reports claimed Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea all spent time at the New Mexico compound, a place now forever tied to child trafficking and sexual exploitation. Bill Clinton’s spokesman responded with a smug “simply not true. Period.” But that kind of arrogant brush-off is exactly the problem. It’s the same playbook the Clintons have used for decades: deny, deflect, and bank on their political clout to keep the media from asking hard questions. When it comes to Epstein, this tactic is especially grotesque. Even the appearance of vacationing at a pedophile’s desert fortress should be scandal enough—but the Clintons expect people to take their word at face value and move on, as if their history with Epstein never existed.Meanwhile, survivors testified that Zorro Ranch wasn’t a retreat; it was a nightmare. Court records describe underage girls being groomed, abused, and trafficked there, some as young as 15. Against that backdrop, the allegations that the Clintons used the ranch as a getaway make their denials sound hollow and self-serving. Epstein’s black book listed the “Office of Bill Clinton,” proving at least documented contact. Yet instead of accountability, the Clintons have relied on the protective bubble of political privilege, shrugging off serious allegations as if they were beneath response. Critics argue this is moral rot at its finest: powerful elites vacationing where children were allegedly trafficked, and then waving away any connection as if their word is gospel. If this is the best the Clintons can do, it isn’t a defense—it’s an indictment of how untouchable they think they are.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bill and Hillary Clinton were frequent guests at 'Jeffrey Epstein's New Mexico ranch | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The House Oversight Committee, led by Chairman James Comer, has subpoenaed Jeffrey Epstein’s estate for a broad collection of records, including financial documents, correspondence, Epstein’s will, agreements with prosecutors, and what has been described as the “birthday book.” That book, presented to Epstein on his 50th birthday, contained notes and letters from acquaintances and has been cited as a potential source of information on his personal and professional connections. The committee stated the request is part of its wider probe into how Epstein’s crimes were handled and what federal authorities may have overlooked or failed to disclose.In addition, the committee has scheduled former U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta for a transcribed interview on September 19. Acosta, who approved the 2008 non-prosecution agreement that shielded Epstein from federal charges, is expected to be questioned about the decision-making process behind that deal and the extent of Justice Department involvement. His testimony, combined with the subpoena for the estate’s records, represents a new stage of congressional scrutiny into the broader handling of Epstein’s case and the officials tied to it.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:House committee to question Alex Acosta in Jeffrey Epstein probeBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Metropolitan Police—commonly known as Scotland Yard—announced in 2019 that it would not reopen its investigation into Virginia Giuffre’s claims that she had been trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and coerced into sex with Prince Andrew in London when she was 17. Senior officials argued that the case was largely centered overseas and therefore outside their jurisdiction, effectively closing the door on UK law enforcement scrutiny. When the matter resurfaced in 2021, Scotland Yard once again dropped the investigation, sparking criticism that the decision looked less like jurisdictional caution and more like deliberate avoidance. These refusals coincided with repeated reports that Prince Andrew had not cooperated with U.S. prosecutors, raising suspicions that British institutions were ensuring the royal remained insulated from serious investigation.Critics argue that this institutional reluctance effectively shielded Prince Andrew from the consequences of his Epstein ties. Former U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman recounted that his team was stonewalled when they tried to reach the Duke of York, further fueling the belief that UK authorities deliberately protected him from accountability. While no charges were ever brought, the optics were damning: Scotland Yard’s stance, combined with Andrew’s legal evasions, created the appearance of a protective bubble that prioritized the monarchy’s image over justice for Epstein’s victims.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://knewz.com/lust-lies-spies-part-2-how-the-enormous-power-of-the-british-police-force-provided-a-protection-racket-for-prince-andrew-and-covered-up-epstein-maxwells-criminal-ente/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
