Core 4: Lesley Groff And How The DOJ Looked The Other Way (7/21/25)

In case number 19 CR. 490 (RMB), the United States government brought formal criminal charges against Jeffrey Epstein, leading to a court-issued Decision & Order Remanding Defendant. This order came after Epstein’s arrest in July 2019 on federal sex trafficking charges involving underage girls. The court reviewed Epstein’s bail proposal—which included offering his Manhattan townhouse as collateral and agreeing to strict conditions—but ultimately found that no set of conditions could guarantee his appearance at trial or ensure the safety of the community. The decision emphasized both the serious nature of the charges and Epstein’s substantial financial resources and international ties, which posed a clear flight risk.As a result, the court ordered Epstein to be remanded to custody, meaning he was to remain in federal detention without bail until trial. The ruling rejected arguments from Epstein’s legal team that he could be trusted to comply with any pretrial release conditions. The court also cited concerns about witness tampering and the possibility of further harm to victims. This decision effectively kept Epstein at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, where he remained until his controversial death one month later.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein-berman.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Adriana Ross was one of Jeffrey Epstein’s key assistants, part of the so-called “inner circle” of women who helped manage his trafficking operation. A former model from Poland, Ross became deeply embedded in Epstein’s day-to-day activities, reportedly handling logistics for his properties, coordinating travel, and preparing rooms at his Palm Beach estate before and after victim encounters. She was also known to have removed computers from Epstein’s Florida home ahead of a 2005 police raid, suggesting a clear role in obstructing justice and covering Epstein’s tracks.Despite her close involvement and the fact that she was repeatedly named in legal documents, Ross has never been criminally charged. She invoked the Fifth Amendment when questioned under oath and has remained largely out of the public spotlight since. Her ability to disappear into private life while survivors continue to suffer underscores the broader failure of the justice system, which allowed Epstein’s most loyal facilitators to slip through the cracks. Ross wasn’t a bystander—she was an active participant in the machinery of exploitation. And like the rest of Epstein’s inner circle, she was protected by a system that preferred silence over accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein 'scheduler' Adriana Ross dodges questions about his sick past while fleeing Florida church | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Department of Justice has formally requested a sit-down with Ghislaine Maxwell, signaling a potential shift in how seriously they’re now taking the unresolved depths of the Epstein operation. This is the first time DOJ leadership has openly moved to solicit Maxwell’s cooperation since her conviction. The request reportedly comes from the upper levels of DOJ, suggesting that they may be trying to position Maxwell as a potential informant or witness in exchange for something—though no formal deal has been disclosed. After years of silence and secrecy, the optics of this meeting carry heavy implications: either the DOJ is finally prepared to pursue the full scope of Epstein’s network, or they’re simply trying to look busy under public pressure.The timing of the DOJ’s request raises questions about motive. With public pressure mounting, lawmakers demanding transparency, and confidence in the Epstein investigation eroding, this sudden outreach to Maxwell feels less like a breakthrough and more like a calculated move to manage optics. It’s difficult to ignore the possibility that this gesture is intended to deflect criticism rather than produce meaningful results. After years of silence, the government now appears interested—just as calls for accountability reach a fever pitch. Whether this leads to real answers or simply gives the appearance of progress is a question many will be asking.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Todd Blanche has plans to meet with Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine MaxwellBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Speaker Mike Johnson’s decision to halt a vote on the Epstein documents resolution until after the August recess reeks of calculated obstruction. After initially posturing as someone open to transparency, Johnson pulled the plug the moment bipartisan momentum began building. His excuse—that Republicans should allow the administration space to act—is a transparent smokescreen. What he really did was take the one mechanism Congress had to demand accountability and neutralize it with a procedural timeout, shielding powerful interests from public scrutiny under the guise of calendar logistics.This wasn’t about timing—it was about shielding. With bipartisan pressure mounting and the public overwhelmingly demanding the release of Epstein’s records, Johnson didn’t just pump the brakes—he pulled the entire emergency lever. Rather than allow a debate that might force uncomfortable truths into the light, he chose to grind the House to a halt. He suspended votes, sidelined committees, and essentially shut the door on any chance of real legislative movement. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Johnson shuts door on House vote before September on releasing Epstein files | CNN PoliticsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Annie Farmer described going through the newly released Jeffrey Epstein files as emotionally grueling, comparing the experience to riding “a roller‑coaster.” She shared that diving back into those documents has left her feeling exhausted, emotionally drained, and effectively “used” by the media attention. She also criticized how this renewed focus on the case seems to have been politicized, saying it often distracts from the real issues survivors face and doesn’t contribute to healingShe further remarked that, despite everything, the conviction of Ghislaine Maxwell remains the one genuine sense of justice she’s felt. Yet, Annie expressed concern that the current media uproar and partisan framing risk reducing survivors’ experiences to mere talking points, rather than prompting meaningful accountability or supporto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein accuser urges release of case files if there is 'nothing to hide'Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Sarah Ransome’s deposition offers a disturbing account of her exploitation by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. She described being lured to New York under false pretenses and quickly forced into a world of manipulation and abuse. Ransome testified to being coerced into group sexual acts, including one incident involving a well-known attorney. She recounted life on Epstein’s private island and inside his New York mansion as being tightly controlled and openly sexual, where young women were “lent out” to powerful men and Maxwell ran the properties like a brothel. She spoke of being subjected to weight demands, emotionally broken down, and even attempting to escape by swimming away—only to be caught and returned.Ransome also claimed Epstein kept extensive flight logs, took photos and videos of sexual encounters, and may have used them as leverage over high-profile associates. However, her credibility was later challenged after she sent emails alleging the existence of sex tapes involving major political and business figures—claims she later admitted were fabricated in a desperate attempt to draw attention to her situation. She expressed remorse for those statements and acknowledged that they were false. Still, her deposition remains one of the most revealing inside views of how Epstein’s trafficking operation functioned—highlighting both the calculated cruelty of the system and the lasting psychological toll it inflicted on its victims.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:DE 701-1 — Sarah Ransome depo - DocumentCloudBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
