The Epstein Playbook: Money, Fear, and Manufactured Silence (12/9/25)

Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Clinton were a lot closer than most people know or understand. From all kinds of financial "donations" to Clinton, to visits to various properties to being invited to Chelsea Clinton's wedding, you'd have to be blind or playing serious partisan politics to not see how deep the ties run between the Clinton's and Epstein and Maxwell. Yet, there has not been no serious investigation (that we are aware of) into the relationship Epstein and Clinton shared and nobody has even bothered to call out his spokesperson for the canned statement he continues to offer. Hopefully, after these new revelations, the legacy media will re-evaluate their position and dive into the deep end instead of just checking the water temperature with their finely manicured toes.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.thedailybeast.com/epstein-shared-hotel-room-with-bill-clinton-and-was-terrified-of-being-poisoned-says-victim-juliette-bryantBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein and the rest of high society New York love to get away to the Hamptons. In fact, Epstein was there so often, he had a favorite spot and at that spot he had a favorite table. Well, after Epstein was arrested the second time, the owner of that eatery decided to take out his frustrations on the table that Epstein favored by destroying it. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://nypost.com/2020/07/18/hamptons-eatery-burns-table-favored-by-jeffrey-epstein-harvey-weinstein/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein repeatedly leveraged his access to Bill Clinton during the late 1990s to act as an unofficial, shadow lobbyist for Les Wexner, pressing for changes to U.S. trade policy that would directly benefit Wexner’s retail empire. Epstein used his proximity to Clinton—cultivated through donor circles, private meetings, and international trips—to raise concerns about tariffs, import restrictions, and manufacturing rules affecting apparel companies reliant on overseas production. According to reporting and later disclosures, Epstein framed these efforts as economic modernization and competitiveness, but in practice they aligned neatly with Wexner’s business interests, particularly his dependence on low-cost foreign manufacturing and favorable customs treatment. Epstein had no formal government role, no lobbying registration, and no legitimate policy portfolio—yet he inserted himself into trade discussions by exploiting access most people never had.What makes this episode especially damning is how nakedly it illustrates Epstein’s real utility to powerful people: he was a fixer who trafficked access, not ideas. Epstein wasn’t lobbying out of ideological conviction; he was repaying Wexner, the man who financed his rise, by quietly pushing the levers of power on his behalf. Clinton did not publicly acknowledge Epstein as a lobbyist, and Epstein’s role was never disclosed in the way legitimate influence efforts are supposed to be, allowing the entire maneuver to happen in the shadows. This wasn’t Epstein freelancing—it was influence laundering, where wealth bought proximity, proximity bought access, and access was used to advance private corporate interests without accountability. Long before Epstein became a household name for his crimes, he was already operating in the murkiest overlap between money, politics, and untraceable influence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jean-Luc Brunel filed a civil lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein in 2015, presenting himself not as a co-conspirator but as a victim of Epstein’s alleged manipulation and betrayal. Brunel claimed that Epstein deliberately destroyed his modeling business and personal reputation by steering law enforcement scrutiny, civil accusations, and public suspicion in his direction in order to shield himself. The suit argued that Epstein used Brunel as a convenient fall guy once his own criminal exposure became unavoidable, allowing Epstein to quietly sacrifice a longtime associate to preserve his own freedom and elite connections. Brunel alleged that Epstein had exercised financial leverage, control over introductions, and influence within the modeling world, and that once Brunel was no longer useful—or became a liability—Epstein allowed or encouraged allegations to stick to him while insulating himself.The lawsuit was notable not because it cleared Brunel, but because it exposed how Epstein’s inner circle functioned: relationships were transactional, disposable, and ruthlessly hierarchical. Brunel did not deny knowing Epstein or working with him; instead, he argued that Epstein weaponized proximity, leaving associates exposed while he remained protected by wealth, lawyers, and political insulation. Epstein responded aggressively, moving to dismiss the case and countering with his own claims, turning the litigation into a preview of how he handled all legal threats—delay, overwhelm, and procedural warfare. The case ultimately went nowhere in practical terms, bogged down in motions and later overtaken by Epstein’s 2019 arrest and death, but it remains a key document showing how those closest to Epstein understood the system: Epstein survived by letting others burn first.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Netflix’s Scoop, a high-profile dramatic film about Prince Andrew’s disastrous BBC Newsnight interview — the 2019 broadcast in which he attempted to explain his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — was announced and released to significant attention as it revisits a moment that helped derail his public life. The film, based on Sam McAlister’s memoir Scoops and starring roles by Gillian Anderson, Billie Piper, and Rufus Sewell, retells how BBC producers secured the interview and how that event unfolded on camera, showing the palace negotiations and Andrew’s statements that were widely panned and mocked. Scoop dropped on Netflix on April 5, 2024 and has since generated discussion not just as entertainment but as a cultural recounting of one of the most consequential media moments involving the British royal family in recent memory.While this film drew interest from audiences and critics intrigued by the behind-the-scenes story of a globally infamous interview, Buckingham Palace did not publicly endorse or celebrate the movie — and its official reactions have been minimal to non-committal. When asked if the palace had reached out to producers or commented on the dramatization, Sam McAlister jokingly noted she hadn’t heard from the institution, implying there was no formal engagement from royal spokespeople about the project. The lack of an official positive palace response — combined with the enduring sensitivity around Andrew’s role in the Epstein scandal — suggests the establishment prefers to distance itself from dramatizations that revisit and potentially amplify a deeply embarrassing episode for the monarchy.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
