Steven Hoffenberg Breaks the Silence: How Epstein Claimed Intelligence Protection (1/17/26)

In a highly criticized letter to two federal judges overseeing the release of the Justice Department’s Jeffrey Epstein files, Attorney General Pam Bondi acknowledged that the ongoing document review process had encountered “glitches” but insisted that the DOJ was making “substantial progress” toward compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Bondi framed the delays and technical issues as inevitable given the “voluminous materials” and the need to protect victim privacy, highlighting a massive review effort involving hundreds of personnel and a centralized platform to process and redact documents. Her letter, however, offered no clear timeline for completing the statutorily required disclosures and emphasized only that the department was working “as expeditiously as possible” without compromising sensitive information.Critically, Bondi’s letter has been condemned by survivors, lawmakers, and transparency advocates as a thinly veiled excuse for failing to meet the law’s clear deadlines and for mishandling one of the most consequential releases of government documents in recent memory. Observers have pointed out that the “glitches” have ranged from a malfunctioning search function on the public document site to missing files and excessive redactions that render swaths of material nearly useless, raising questions about whether the problems are truly technical or instead reflect evasiveness and lack of urgency. Critics argue that calling these systemic failures mere “glitches” trivializes real legal obligations and victims’ demands for accountability, suggesting that Bondi’s leadership has been more defensive than transparent and that she has repeatedly failed to provide the court or the public with a credible plan to fulfill the law’s requirements.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein Files Update as Pam Bondi Admits ‘Glitches’ - NewsweekBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In a combative letter to Republican Rep. James Comer, former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton rejected congressional subpoenas tied to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, dismissing the Oversight Committee’s effort as a “partisan” attack rather than a bona fide search for truth. They called the subpoenas “invalid and legally unenforceable,” accusing Comer of seeking to “harass and embarrass” them and of prioritizing political theater over genuine accountability for Epstein’s crimes. The Clintons insisted they had already provided “the little information we have” in written statements and portrayed the push for in-person testimony as a distraction from more substantive work Congress could—and should—be doing.Critically, their letter sidestepped the broader questions that prompted the subpoenas in the first place, including Bill Clinton’s well-documented social and travel connections to Epstein in the 1990s and early 2000s, which have fueled public demands for transparency. Rather than addressing why those interactions and related records deserve scrutiny, the Clintons framed the entire inquiry as illegitimate, weaponizing claims of partisanship to shut down scrutiny without offering meaningful cooperation. By focusing on political grievance instead of clarifying the full extent of their knowledge or engagement with Epstein, their response has been perceived by critics as defensive and dismissive at a time when survivors and investigators are urgently seeking accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:01-12-26-dek-ltr-to-chairman-comer.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Ghislaine Maxwell pleaded with the court for a lighter sentence by casting herself as a peripheral figure rather than a central architect of Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking operation. In her sentencing submission, she emphasized personal hardship, age, and family circumstances, portraying herself as someone who had already suffered enough through incarceration and public vilification. Her lawyers argued that she was being unfairly scapegoated for Epstein’s crimes, stressing that she was not the primary beneficiary of the abuse and did not deserve a punishment that mirrored his notoriety. The plea leaned heavily on mitigation, urging the court to view her conduct as limited in scope and influence. It was a strategy aimed at shrinking her role, reframing years of recruitment and grooming as overblown or mischaracterized. The underlying message was clear: punish her, but gently.The court, however, was presented with a record that clashed sharply with that narrative. Prosecutors laid out evidence showing Maxwell’s sustained, hands-on involvement in identifying, grooming, and delivering minors to Epstein, arguing that without her, the operation would not have functioned as it did. Her plea for leniency rang hollow against testimony from survivors who described coercion, manipulation, and lasting trauma. The attempt to recast herself as marginal only underscored the lack of accountability that defined her role for years. In asking for mercy, Maxwell avoided acknowledging the depth of harm or her abuse of power, focusing instead on her own discomfort and future prospects. The court ultimately rejected the premise of her appeal for leniency, concluding that the severity and duration of her conduct demanded a substantial sentence, not a reduced one.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
