Morning Update: Attorney's Representing Over 50 Epstein Survivors Say The DOJ Is Ignoring Them (9/8/25)

The Department of Justice’s continued defense of Jeffrey Epstein’s non-prosecution agreement is a national disgrace, the clearest evidence yet that the system was never built to hold the powerful accountable. Alex Acosta, the U.S. Attorney who cut the deal, admitted under oath that he barely knew the facts of the case yet somehow decided it was a “50/50” call — all while relying on advice from Matthew Menchel, a man later revealed to be friendly with Epstein himself. Emails went missing, prosecutors who fought for the victims were ignored, and the entire case was quietly rerouted from Palm Beach to Washington, where the real fix was brokered behind closed doors. Golf course handshakes, backroom whispers, and D.C. connections did more to save Epstein than any courtroom argument ever could, and everyone involved knew exactly what they were doing.That infamous NPA wasn’t a mistake — it was a masterpiece of corruption, the only one of its kind in American legal history, granting immunity not just to Epstein but to everyone who may have trafficked or abused under his umbrella. And years later, the DOJ still has the nerve to say “no laws were broken,” as if that means anything when the law itself was twisted into a shield for the powerful. The Epstein deal wasn’t justice — it was the funeral of it. Every excuse, every shrug, every “it was complicated” from Acosta and his peers only confirms what’s been obvious since day one: the system didn’t fail by accident. It worked exactly as intended — to protect the rich, bury the truth, and leave the victims behind.to conact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Prince Andrew’s decision to host a party for Ghislaine Maxwell at Sandringham—where sex drugs like poppers were reportedly found—reads less like royal history and more like a bad dark comedy. The idea of a Queen’s residence being turned into something resembling a low-rent Sopranos episode is almost surreal. The whole scene feels like parody: the Duke of York, standing beneath portraits of British monarchs, presiding over a soirée that sounds like Downton Abbey crashing headfirst into Trainspotting. It’s especially grotesque given Epstein’s reputation for avoiding drugs himself—he didn’t need them, he used them on others. The thought of those same tools of control and exploitation making their way into a royal estate is equal parts absurd and revolting.What makes it worse is the total lack of accountability. The Palace still tries to frame these scandals as “private matters,” as though international sex trafficking and narcotics at royal residences can be brushed under the Windsor rug. Every new revelation cements Andrew as a man incapable of understanding—or even pretending to care about—the damage he’s done to the Crown’s image. Once considered a symbol of British decorum, Sandringham now sits as a monument to how far the monarchy has fallen, its history tainted by the stench of scandal and the arrogance of a prince who believed himself untouchable. In the end, Prince Andrew didn’t just disgrace himself—he made royal scandal feel like a recurring sketch in a show that refuses to end.to contact me:source:Sex drugs 'found at party' disgraced Andrew hosted for Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell in Sandringham, new Royal book claims | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

When asked about Prince Andrew’s exile from royal life and the Epstein scandal that forced King Charles to strip his brother of his military titles and patronages, Donald Trump struck a tone of sympathy — not for the victims, but for the Windsors. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump said, “I feel very badly. It’s a terrible thing that’s happened to the family. That’s been a tragic situation. It’s too bad. I mean, I feel badly for the family.” In classic Trump fashion, the comments came off as tone-deaf, framing the ordeal as a misfortune that befell the royals rather than a reckoning for Andrew’s own actions or associations. He offered no mention of Virginia Giuffre, the survivors, or the broader scandal surrounding Epstein’s network — only sorrow for the House of Windsor’s discomfort.The remarks were quickly criticized as another example of Trump’s tendency to sympathize with power over accountability. Rather than condemning Andrew’s behavior or the pattern of privilege that shielded him for years, Trump painted the royals as victims of circumstance — as if Andrew had simply stumbled into bad luck rather than disgrace of his own making. His comments echoed the same populist-elite paradox that defines his persona: railing against “the establishment” while showing deference to its crowned members when they fall. For many observers, the takeaway was clear — once again, Trump’s empathy seemed to extend only upward, toward the powerful, not toward the people whose lives were destroyed by Epstein and the system that protected him.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Trump says he feels 'badly' for royal family over Andrew-Epstein scandalBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s unpublished memoir The Billionaire’s Playboy Club recounts her recruitment into Jeffrey Epstein’s world as a 16-year-old working at Mar-a-Lago, where she says Ghislaine Maxwell lured her in with promises of opportunity and travel. The manuscript describes how she became trapped in Epstein’s orbit, allegedly forced into sexual encounters with powerful men, including Prince Andrew, and ferried across his properties in New York, Florida, and the Virgin Islands. Giuffre paints a detailed picture of coercion, psychological manipulation, and the disturbing normalization of exploitation within Epstein’s high-society circle.In this episode, we begin our journey through that memoir.   to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Virgina Giuffre Billionaire's Playboy Club | DocumentCloudBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Jeffrey Epstein non-prosecution agreement (NPA) of 2007-08, reviewed by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), detailed how federal prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida negotiated a deal that effectively ended an active federal investigation into Epstein’s alleged trafficking and abuse of underage girls. The agreement granted broad immunity to Epstein and unnamed “potential co-conspirators,” allowed him to plead guilty to state charges instead of facing major federal sex-trafficking counts, and did so without informing or consulting the victims before the deal was executed. The OPR found that while no evidence of corruption or impermissible influence was uncovered, the decision represented “poor judgment” by the prosecutors.Further, the report underscored significant procedural deficiencies: victims were not made aware of the NPA, the USAO did not meaningfully engage with them in accordance with the Crime Victims’ Rights Act’s principles, and the immunity granted in the NPA curtailed future federal prosecution of Epstein’s associates—even as investigation into other victims and broader criminal conduct may have persisted. In short, the OPR concluded that the case resolution was legally within the prosecutors’ discretion, but deeply flawed in its execution and fairness to those harmed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:dl (justice.gov)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Prince Andrew’s tone-deaf Instagram moment perfectly encapsulated his inability to read the room—or reality. In February 2020, the Royal Family’s official Instagram account posted a cheerful birthday tribute for Andrew’s 60th birthday, complete with smiling photos and warm captions. The problem? This came right in the middle of the Epstein scandal, when Andrew’s name was synonymous with disgrace, denial, and alleged sexual abuse. The public reaction was instant and furious, with thousands calling it “inappropriate,” “insensitive,” and “tone-deaf.” At a time when most of the world expected humility, contrition, or silence, the royal social media team delivered a sugar-coated reminder of how out of touch the monarchy still was.The post didn’t just misfire—it symbolized the broader dysfunction of Andrew’s response to scandal. Rather than showing accountability, it projected the same self-serving blindness that had defined his downfall since the Newsnight interview. What should have been a quiet, private acknowledgment turned into another PR disaster that reignited anger and humiliation for the palace. In trying to pretend everything was normal, the monarchy only reminded the public how far from normal things truly were. The Instagram post wasn’t just a bad look—it was a case study in how delusion and privilege can sabotage even the simplest act of communication.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
