Morning Update:  Epstein Survivors Are Invited To The Capitol By Thomas Massie And Ro Khanna (8/12/25)

Morning Update: Epstein Survivors Are Invited To The Capitol By Thomas Massie And Ro Khanna (8/12/25)

Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA) are set to co-host a bipartisan press conference at the U.S. Capitol on September 3, 2025, where survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse will speak—some for the first time—about their experiences. The event is part of a broader push to advance the Epstein Files Transparency Act and a discharge petition aimed at forcing Attorney General Pam Bondi to release Epstein-related legal documents in a fully searchable, downloadable format. The lawmakers say the purpose is not only to give the survivors a national platform but also to press Congress to confront the lack of accountability and secrecy that has long surrounded the case.


The move comes amid growing bipartisan momentum, including support from a dozen Republicans, to bypass House leadership and force a vote on releasing the documents with victim-protective redactions. Opposition has been notable from figures like House Speaker Mike Johnson and former President Trump, who have dismissed or downplayed the effort—Johnson citing privacy concerns and Trump labeling it a “hoax.” Massie, Khanna, and their allies counter that transparency with safeguards is both achievable and necessary, framing the event as a test of whether Congress will side with survivors or perpetuate the culture of secrecy that shielded Epstein and his network for decades.

A federal judge has rejected the Justice Department’s bid to unseal grand jury documents from the Ghislaine Maxwell case, ruling that the material would add virtually nothing to what was already made public during her 2021 trial. The judge emphasized that the records in question did not include victim or witness testimony but rather law enforcement summaries that revealed no new names, crime scenes, or substantive investigative details. This effectively dismantled the DOJ’s framing of the request as a major transparency effort, revealing it instead as an overhyped move with negligible informational value.

The decision exposes the DOJ’s ongoing pattern of performative transparency in the Epstein matter—announcing high-profile actions that, when examined closely, produce no real accountability. By seeking the release of redundant documents under the guise of public disclosure, the Department appears more interested in optics than substance, further fueling skepticism over whether it is genuinely committed to uncovering the truth. Rather than clarifying the historical record, this latest maneuver reinforces the perception that the DOJ is managing the Epstein scandal as a political distraction rather than confronting its deep-rooted failures.

Mega Edition: Is Donald Trump John Doe 174 In The Epstein Files?  (8/12/25)

Mega Edition: Is Donald Trump John Doe 174 In The Epstein Files? (8/12/25)

In the September 2024 episode of the Lex Fridman Podcast, Donald Trump discussed the ongoing controversy surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s confidential files and client list. He stated that, if re‑elected, he would have “no problem” releasing additional Epstein‑related documents and said he would “probably” make the client list public—positioning the release as a matter of transparency subject to his re‑election.That promise—to “have no problem” unsealing the Epstein files if re-elected, voiced on the Lex Fridman podcast—now rings hollow given his administration’s actions. Despite that pledge, no substantive new revelations have been made. The Department of Justice, led by AG Pam Bondi, released heavily redacted materials in February and claimed there’s no client list—an assertion that infuriated many supporters and was declared “a lot of redacted nothing” by critics. Even under mounting pressure—including subpoenas from the House Oversight Committee and investigations into Clinton, Comey, and others—the administration has shifted from transparency to deflection, labeling the entire Epstein files saga a “Democratic hoax” and telling supporters not to dwell on it.Also..A Business Insider analysis of unsealed court records revealed that Donald Trump is identified as John Doe 174 in a set of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents. These “Doe” placeholders were used to anonymize nearly 200 individuals mentioned in the files—ranging from Epstein’s wealthy acquaintances to others referenced in passing. The revelation stemmed from a 2024 court order that unsealed previously redacted information, including the specific identity behind Doe 174.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Trump suggests he’ll release Jeffrey Epstein ‘client list’ if elected (nypost.com)source:It Sure Looks Like Donald Trump Is Doe 174 in Epstein Documents (businessinsider.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The Predator and His Protectors:   Glenn Dubin And His Place Within Jeffrey Epstein's Orbit (Part 2) (8/11/25)

The Predator and His Protectors: Glenn Dubin And His Place Within Jeffrey Epstein's Orbit (Part 2) (8/11/25)

Glenn Dubin is a billionaire hedge fund manager and major figure in New York’s high society whose long, troubling relationship with Jeffrey Epstein went far beyond casual acquaintance. Even after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for sex crimes involving a minor, Dubin — along with his wife, Eva Andersson-Dubin — kept him close, inviting him into their home, allowing him to spend holidays like Thanksgiving with their children, and maintaining financial and social ties. This wasn’t ignorance; it was an active choice to normalize a convicted sex offender in one of Manhattan’s most influential households, effectively lending Epstein the legitimacy he needed to remain welcome in elite circles.Dubin’s continued embrace of Epstein, despite years of mounting allegations and sworn victim testimony naming him as a participant in Epstein’s abuse, reveals a staggering moral blindness — or worse, a conscious decision to protect a friend whose crimes were well-documented. By keeping the door open for Epstein socially, professionally, and philanthropically, Dubin became part of the protective cocoon that allowed Epstein to survive and thrive after his conviction. In doing so, he not only damaged his own reputation beyond repair but also exemplified the elite complicity that kept Epstein’s network intact long after it should have collapsed.And that's not even the worst of what Glenn Dubin has been accused of...to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
