We are learning more about the items that were seized when the police raided Bryan Kohberger's family home in Pennsylvania and several of the more than 60 items were concerning. When we first were discussing this new warrant, it seemed underwhelming. I think it's safe to say that things have certainly changed.(commercial at 7:12)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Knife, gun and ammunition seized from Bryan Kohberger's Pennsylvania home, unsealed warrant reveals | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Texas Democrats’ decision to stall redistricting efforts mirrors the same cynical political gamesmanship that has crippled the Epstein investigation for years. Both sides of the aisle claim moral high ground yet resort to procedural stunts and manipulations when it benefits them, undermining credibility and eroding trust. Just as the DOJ and Trump administration used delays, sealed records, and narrative control to bury the Epstein case, Democrats now adopt similar obstructionist tactics, proving that justice is not about truth but convenience. Every time politicians treat procedure as a weapon, the focus shifts from exposing Epstein’s enablers to empty theater, leaving survivors sidelined and the public disillusioned.This cycle of politicization ensured that Epstein remains untouchable. Each stunt feeds apathy, conditioning the public to expect no real accountability while predators and their protectors breathe easier. By embracing the same culture of obstruction they once condemned, Democrats have destroyed their moral high ground, handed Republicans a defense, and confirmed that neither party truly seeks justice. In the end, Epstein’s secrets stay buried, survivors remain without answers, and the political class shows once again that its loyalty lies not with truth, but with power.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Jeffrey Epstein’s story doesn’t begin with the penthouse, the island, or the mugshot—it begins in the shadows of the Cold War. In the 1980s, he worked as a financial adviser for Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, a man entangled in the Iran–Contra scandal and the massive Al-Yamamah arms deal. Through Khashoggi, British defense contractor Douglas Leese, and financier Steven Hoffenberg, Epstein was introduced to a world where money moved invisibly, arms were traded for oil, and intelligence agencies relied on businessmen as covert intermediaries. These early associations taught him the culture of power: secrets were currency, crimes could be reframed as strategy, and the right connections offered protection from the law.Epstein didn’t invent this playbook—he adapted it. Where Khashoggi traded weapons and oil, Epstein traded access and leverage, turning young victims into bargaining chips in a network of elites. His empire mirrored the same operating principles he absorbed in the 1980s: plausible deniability, hidden money flows, and the insulation of power. This is why his story is more than personal depravity—it’s proof that the system itself breeds and shields men like him. Epstein wasn’t a glitch in the matrix. He was the proof that it works, and the machinery that built him is still running, still producing new Epsteins, waiting for their turn in the spotlight.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Senator Ron Wyden has sharply criticized the IRS for failing to audit or investigate the massive payments—estimated at at least $158 million, and possibly up to $170 million—made by private equity billionaire Leon Black to Jeffrey Epstein between 2012 and 2017. Wyden questioned how Epstein, who had no formal credentials in tax or accounting, could receive such high sums—exceeding compensation paid to other top advisors—without raising any red flags, and pointed out that much of this was paid “ad hoc” without written contracts. He urged the IRS to explain why these seemingly suspicious tax‑planning transactions were never subject to scrutiny despite their scale and Epstein’s criminal historyAdditionally, Wyden revealed that his office accessed a trove of financial records indicating approximately 4,725 wire transfers amounting to over $1 billion linked to Epstein, including interactions with Russian banks connected to sex trafficking. He accused the Treasury Department of withholding these critical Suspicious Activity Reports from oversight and insisted that the lack of broader prosecutions or investigations suggests a cover‑up. Wyden accused federal agencies of “sleepwalking” through evidence that might have exposed Epstein’s alleged façade of financial expertise and facilitated accountability for those who funded his operations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Senator Seeks Investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's Work for Leon BlackBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Bill Barr’s closed-door appearance before the House Oversight Committee was less an act of revelation and more of carefully dosed denial and damage control. While he acknowledged Epstein’s death resulted from a “perfect storm of screw-ups,” he denied awareness of missing surveillance footage or any so-called “client list” of associates. And despite widespread media focus on camera blind spots and unmonitored jail lapses, Barr insisted no evidence had emerged contradicting the official suicide determinationCritics argue that Barr’s testimony underscored the DOJ’s reluctance to fully own up to systemic failure. His assertion that he was “personally satisfied” with the outcome—and his resistance to acknowledging deeper institutional faults—fueled the notion that his role was protecting narrative more than uncovering truth. The hearing did little to quell concerns, instead leaving many in Congress and the public convinced there’s more yet to emerge.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Barr tells House he saw no evidence linking Trump to Epstein crimes: Comer | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The release of the Office of Inspector General’s report on Jeffrey Epstein’s death was marked by a delay so drawn out that it raised more questions than it answered. Epstein died in August 2019, yet the OIG report—supposedly the definitive account of the failures at the Metropolitan Correctional Center—did not surface until mid-2023. That nearly four-year gap created an atmosphere of suspicion, where the public was left to speculate in the absence of transparency. For a case of such magnitude, involving one of the most notorious prisoners in U.S. custody, the government’s inability—or unwillingness—to produce timely findings came across as stonewalling rather than due diligence. Each year that ticked by without answers only deepened the impression that the investigation was less about accountability and more about managing fallout.Critics have argued that the slow pace betrayed the very purpose of oversight. The OIG is meant to reassure the public that even the federal system can police itself, but when it takes nearly half a decade to confirm “errors” that were obvious within days of Epstein’s death—broken cameras, sleeping guards, falsified logs—the credibility of the process collapses. Instead of restoring confidence, the delay reinforced the perception that the system was dragging its feet, hoping the public’s outrage would fade. By the time the report finally arrived, many saw it as an afterthought: a bureaucratic box checked too late to matter, more a shield for officials than a search for truth.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein Death: Justice Department Still Hasn't Released Report (businessinsider.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
