Why the DOJ Shut Down the Nassar Letter but Won’t Deny the Trump/Epstein Birthday Card (1/1/26)

Recent revelations have significantly undercut former Attorney General Pam Bondi’s explanation regarding the so-called “missing minute” from Jeffrey Epstein’s jail surveillance footage. The House Oversight Committee has released previously unseen surveillance video capturing the minute—from about 11:58:59 p.m. to midnight on August 10, 2019—that had been absent from earlier DOJ releases. The newly revealed clip, showing guards working near Epstein’s cell, undermines Bondi’s prior claim that the gap resulted from a routine, nightly system reset—a technical quirk that she stated led to that minute being “missing every night.” The footage instead suggests the gap emerged from how the files were stitched together at the midnight timestamp, not a recurring reset issue, effectively blowing Bondi’s narrative out of the waterto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein document dump blows huge hole in Pam Bondi's 'missing minute' theory as pressure mounts for Trump to disclose the truth - and MAGA rep says case 'a lot bigger than anyone anticipated' | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jes Staley’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t just a lapse in judgment—it was a full-blown embrace of depravity dressed up as “networking.” Staley wasn’t dragged into Epstein’s orbit; he signed up for the frequent flyer program. He flew to the island, sent creepy “Snow White” emails, and played the role of banker, buddy, and image-launderer for a convicted sex offender. This wasn’t ignorance—it was arrogance. He knew exactly who Epstein was and decided that power, money, and access were worth more than decency, truth, or his own reputation.In the end, Staley will never be remembered for his banking career or “leadership.” His legacy is sealed as Epstein’s enabler, lapdog, and fool—the man who polished the monster’s image while survivors were left fighting for justice. He represents everything rotten about high finance: greed over morality, image over truth, connections over humanity. Staley thought he could walk hand-in-hand with Epstein and still be respected. Instead, he’s a permanent cautionary tale of complicity, corruption, and cowardice.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Bill Richardson’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein highlight the grotesque double standard that protects the powerful. Despite being named under oath by Virginia Giuffre as one of the men she was trafficked to, Richardson—former New Mexico governor, U.N. ambassador, and establishment insider—faced almost no scrutiny. His denials were delivered with the bland, calculated tone of a man confident that his reputation and connections would shield him. The media, which treats lesser figures with endless outrage, politely buried his name, turning what should have been a career-ending scandal into a forgotten footnote. That silence was not oversight—it was a deliberate choice by the same machine that has long protected Epstein’s orbit of elites.Richardson’s case is especially damning because Epstein’s Zorro Ranch, rumored to be a hub of trafficking and secrecy, sat in New Mexico under his watch as governor. The coincidence is staggering, yet no questions were asked, no investigations launched, and no accountability pursued. His inclusion in Virginia’s sworn testimony wasn’t random—it fit a consistent pattern of Epstein surrounding himself with powerful, insulated men unlikely to face consequences. Richardson’s polished career may remain intact in polite circles, but his name is forever entwined with the Epstein scandal, serving as a perfect example of how justice bends when it brushes up against the untouchables.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

a sworn statement given by Juan Alessi to Palm Beach law enforcement during the early phase of the Epstein investigation. In that statement, Alessi describes his role as the house manager at Epstein’s Palm Beach residence and recounts that young girls regularly came to the home to provide “massages.” He stated that these visits were frequent and routine, and that over time he noticed the girls appeared to be getting younger. Alessi specifically recalled questioning whether some of the girls were as young as 16 or 17, signaling that concerns about age were present well before the case became public.Alessi’s statement is significant because it documents staff-level awareness of troubling conduct inside Epstein’s home at an early stage of the investigation. While the document does not take the form of a later civil-style deposition transcript, it is a formal sworn account given directly to investigators involved in the case, including those working under Joe Recarey. The statement reinforces that Epstein’s operation was not hidden from household staff and that warning signs were visible to law enforcement as early as 2005. It stands as contemporaneous evidence that allegations involving underage girls were known, documented, and taken seriously enough to be memorialized in sworn law enforcement records—long before the controversial prosecutorial decisions that followed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein Part 16 (Redacted).pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

During Jeffrey Epstein’s first prosecution in Florida, his legal team adopted an unusually aggressive and confrontational posture toward prosecutors and investigators in the Southern District of Florida. Rather than treating the case as a standard criminal matter, Epstein’s lawyers pushed relentlessly on procedure, jurisdiction, and internal DOJ dynamics, applying pressure not just through formal filings but through behind-the-scenes maneuvering aimed at shaping the outcome before charges could fully crystallize. This approach went beyond zealous advocacy and veered into open hostility, with Epstein’s attorneys repeatedly challenging investigators’ motives, authority, and conduct, while seeking to box prosecutors into a narrow set of options favorable to their client.In this episode, we dig into a newly unsealed Epstein file that lays bare just how acrimonious that relationship truly was. The document shows a toxic, adversarial environment in which negotiations were marked by distrust, sharp exchanges, and constant friction between Epstein’s defense team and the lawyers tasked with investigating him. Far from a collaborative or routine plea discussion, the record reveals a legal battlefield where Epstein’s attorneys treated federal prosecutors as obstacles to be neutralized rather than partners in resolution—offering a rare, unfiltered look at how the groundwork was laid for one of the most controversial prosecutorial outcomes in modern criminal justice history.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA00013538.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Vanity Fair remarks attributed to Suzie Wiles detonated because they exposed a contradiction the administration has never resolved: public dismissal paired with private concern. Wiles spoke as someone familiar with the contents of the Epstein files, despite the Department of Justice itself maintaining that the archive is sprawling, incomplete, and still under review. That disparity raises unavoidable questions about access, authority, and motive. A White House Chief of Staff has no routine role in reviewing criminal case materials unless there is perceived political or institutional exposure. Her involvement suggests the files are being treated not as historical records, but as live risk assessments. That reality collapses the claim that Epstein is irrelevant or a “hoax.” You don’t allocate senior attention to things you believe are meaningless.What makes this especially corrosive is the administration’s refusal to explain how or why this access occurred. Silence has replaced transparency, reinforcing the impression that there is one narrative for the public and another for those in power. The Epstein case has always been less dangerous for what it reveals about one man than for what it exposes about institutional self-protection. By quietly engaging with the files while publicly minimizing them, the administration confirms that Jeffrey Epstein remains an unresolved liability. That contradiction is now on the record. And once power signals fear of what the files contain, the question is no longer whether they matter—but who they threaten, and why the public is being kept at arm’s length from the truth.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
