The Hypocrisy of Anna Paulina Luna in the Epstein Transparency Fight (1/23/26)

In the 2017 video deposition of Courtney E. Wild, taken as part of the civil case Epstein v. Rothstein in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida, Wild testified under oath about her personal background, criminal history, and relevant circumstances before the court began substantive questions. The early portion of the deposition focuses on Wild’s identity and personal history, including her marriage, family situation, and her own past convictions, including a drug trafficking conviction for which she was serving a sentence at the Gadsden Correctional Facility in Florida at the time of the deposition. Wild was sworn in and answered basic biographical questions about her life prior to moving into the heart of the civil litigation against Epstein’s representatives and others, establishing her presence and credibility as a witness in the case’s factual recordto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:1027.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Nancy Pelosi’s reaction to her own party voting to hold Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt was less about principle and more about protecting power. Instead of defending the authority of Congress or the right of the Oversight Committee to enforce subpoenas, Pelosi reportedly scolded Democratic members for daring to treat the Clintons like any other witnesses. Her message was unmistakable: some people are simply too important to be subjected to the same rules as everyone else. By warning lawmakers that they should have waited and by dismissing the contempt vote as a mistake, Pelosi wasn’t defending procedure — she was reinforcing the idea that the Clintons remain untouchable inside the Democratic hierarchy, even when they refuse lawful subpoenas tied to one of the largest sex-trafficking scandals in modern history.The episode exposed a deeper hypocrisy that Pelosi never addressed. For years, Democrats — including Pelosi herself — championed contempt proceedings against Trump officials as a sacred defense of congressional authority. But when that same authority was aimed at the Clintons, suddenly restraint, patience, and party unity became more important than accountability. Pelosi’s scolding wasn’t about fairness or law; it was about damage control, shielding legacy figures whose testimony could reopen politically explosive questions about Epstein, elite protection, and institutional failure. In doing so, she sent a clear signal to rank-and-file Democrats: accountability is mandatory for outsiders, but optional for the powerful, especially when their last name is Clinton.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Exclusive: Pelosi privately blasts Democrats for vote to hold Clintons in contempt in Epstein probe | CNN PoliticsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Post editorial is not an argument, it is a tantrum disguised as analysis, built almost entirely out of contempt for the reader rather than engagement with the facts. Instead of explaining why the Epstein files should remain limited or why institutional handling has been sound, it opens by ridiculing curiosity itself, portraying transparency as hysteria and accountability as a nuisance. It repeatedly blames the public for prosecutors’ workload while carefully ignoring the far more damning question of why millions of pages of sensitive material were allowed to accumulate in secrecy for years without resolution. The piece weaponizes the word “conspiracy” to dismiss any inquiry without ever confronting the actual record of non-prosecution agreements, sealed grand juries, immunity clauses, and documented institutional failures that made skepticism inevitable. By framing bipartisan concern as pathology and inquiry as obsession, the editorial tries to convert distrust — created by government misconduct — into a moral defect of the audience. Its constant appeals to SDNY’s prestige function as a shield against scrutiny rather than evidence of competence. The article never once grapples with the known procedural irregularities that protected Epstein for decades, because acknowledging them would collapse its thesis. Instead, it replaces investigation with scolding and substitutes sneer for substance. The result is not journalism but narrative discipline, instructing readers that the real scandal is not trafficking, immunity, or protection, but the audacity of citizens to ask how power escaped consequence.More revealing than anything the piece says is what it refuses to say: nothing about the non-prosecution agreement, nothing about unnamed co-conspirators, nothing about sealed testimony, nothing about intelligence overlaps, nothing about the long record of deliberate suppression that made the Epstein case a legitimacy crisis in the first place. By insisting that “no evidence has ever surfaced” while ignoring flight logs, settlements, testimony, recruitment patterns, and financial trails, the editorial performs selective blindness in service of institutional self-defense. Its claim that Biden’s access disproves Trump ties relies on naïve assumptions about leaks and ignores the legal architecture that prevents disclosure, while its mockery of “distraction” theories rings hollow in an article explicitly designed to redirect attention away from the files. The editorial’s core fear is not conspiracy thinking but institutional exposure, because the danger of the Epstein archive is not salacious gossip but procedural truth — who intervened, who stalled, who authorized, and who buried. In the end, the piece is less a defense of reason than a plea for quiet, urging the public to abandon scrutiny so elites may remain undisturbed. It treats transparency as vandalism, victims as inconvenience, and curiosity as illness, revealing a worldview in which legitimacy is preserved not by accountability but by exhaustion. Far from debunking hysteria, the editorial demonstrates exactly why distrust persists: when institutions cannot answer questions, they try to shame people into stopping them.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:You'll never guess what the new Epstein scandal isBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Alan Dershowitz’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has drawn sustained criticism because it went far beyond a routine attorney-client connection and placed one of the country’s most famous legal scholars directly inside the machinery that protected a serial sex trafficker. Dershowitz was a prominent member of Epstein’s legal team during the 2008 non-prosecution agreement, a deal that secretly dismantled a federal trafficking case, shielded unnamed co-conspirators, and denied victims their rights under federal law. He publicly defended Epstein as a misunderstood figure, vouched for his character, and helped craft legal strategies that minimized consequences and discredited accusers, even as mounting evidence showed systematic abuse of underage girls. Critics argue that Dershowitz did not merely provide representation but actively participated in the legal architecture that allowed Epstein to continue offending, and in doing so lent elite credibility to one of the most damaging plea bargains in modern criminal history. His repeated insistence that the case was weak, complex, or unfairly portrayed has been widely condemned as revisionist and dismissive of survivor testimony.The relationship became even more controversial when Virginia Giuffre accused Dershowitz himself of sexual abuse, alleging that Epstein trafficked her to him when she was underage — an allegation Dershowitz has fiercely denied and fought through years of litigation, ultimately reaching a settlement without an admission of wrongdoing. Regardless of legal outcomes, critics say his public posture since then has only deepened distrust: he has repeatedly attacked accusers, questioned the credibility of survivors, and portrayed himself as a victim of conspiracy while continuing to defend Epstein’s network and minimize institutional failures. To many observers, Dershowitz embodies the very culture that enabled Epstein — a powerful insider using legal prestige to protect privilege, intimidate victims, and blur the line between advocacy and obstruction. His role is now inseparable from the scandal itself, not as a peripheral defender, but as one of the central architects of the legal shield that allowed Epstein’s crimes to persist unchecked for years.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In July 2019, following his arrest on federal sex trafficking and conspiracy charges, Jeffrey Epstein was formally ordered remanded to custody after a detention hearing before Judge Richard Berman. Prosecutors argued that Epstein’s extraordinary wealth, private planes, offshore residences, and history of evading consequences made him an overwhelming flight risk. They also stressed that his release would pose a danger to the community, citing sworn testimony from multiple accusers and evidence that he had used money and influence to obstruct accountability in the past. Despite his defense offering an unprecedented bail package—including $100 million bond, house arrest under armed guard, and electronic monitoring—the court determined that no conditions could ensure his appearance in court or protect the public.Judge Berman’s written order underscored the seriousness of the charges and the strength of the evidence, including testimony that Epstein had sexually abused underage girls and facilitated a broad trafficking network. The court rejected the defense’s argument that strict bail conditions would suffice, ruling instead that the only way to guarantee community safety and secure Epstein’s presence at trial was to deny release altogether. With that, Epstein was remanded to the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, where he would remain in custody until his death a month later.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Epstein’s operation has been explained as a sexual Ponzi scheme because it relied on the same core mechanics as a financial fraud: constant recruitment, layered incentives, and silence bought through perceived advancement. Young women were drawn in with money, housing, travel, or vague promises of mentorship, then pressured to recruit others beneath them to maintain their own position and income. Each new recruit reduced risk for those above them, creating a self-sustaining pipeline that insulated Epstein and his inner circle from direct exposure. Like a Ponzi scheme, it depended on continuous inflow; the moment recruitment slowed, the structure would collapse under scrutiny. Power, not just money, was the currency, with access to elites dangled as proof of legitimacy. The system normalized abuse by reframing it as opportunity, turning victims into reluctant intermediaries. The structure rewarded compliance and punished resistance through isolation or financial cutoff.What made it especially effective was how it mirrored legitimate social and professional networks, blurring exploitation into something that looked transactional rather than criminal. Epstein positioned himself at the top as the untouchable beneficiary, while Ghislaine Maxwell and others functioned as managers who enforced rules, managed expectations, and handled recruitment. Those at the bottom bore the harm, while those in the middle were trapped by sunk costs, fear, and complicity. Just as in a Ponzi scheme, early participants might initially believe they were benefiting, only to realize later that the system required perpetual harm to survive. Accountability was diffused across layers, allowing Epstein to claim distance while enjoying the spoils. The longer it ran, the harder it became for participants to speak without implicating themselves. That is why survivors and investigators describe it not as random predation, but as an organized, scalable abuse enterprise built on deception, dependency, and silence.to contact m e:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
