Stacey Plaskett, the U.S. Virgin Islands delegate to the U.S. House, has called the civil lawsuit filed against her by six survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking scheme “frivolous.” In her motion seeking sanctions against the plaintiffs’ attorney, she described the accusations as “outright untruth, fiction and misrepresentation,” stating the attorney persisted with what she characterized as unfounded claims even after her legal team warned that continuing would trigger a Rule 11 motion.
The lawsuit, originally filed in November 2023 and amended twice, alleged that Plaskett and other U.S. Virgin Islands officials helped facilitate Epstein’s trafficking operations, including through tax-break programs, fundraising, and other support. Plaskett denied all the allegations, and by August 2025 the case against her alone was voluntarily dismissed with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
You know, I've had my fill of the Democrats and
their bullshit when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. For the
past few years, I've been willing to put things to
the side and work towards justice when it comes to Epstein.
And there's no doubt that there's a lot of people
on both sides of the aisle that have taken money
(00:21):
from Epstein, that have hobbnobbed with Epstein, and that have
played games with Epstein.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
But since Ted.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Lu opened the door, we're gonna walk through it. If
he wants to try and stick this as a Republican issue,
do you really think we're just gonna sit here and
let that occur, considering how many people in the Democratic
Party had their hand in the trough, and if you
go through it, and if you want to make it
a numbers game, the vast majority of people that Jeffrey
Epstein donated to throughout his time we're Democrats.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
And we're not.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Talking about you know, little Iday Pidley Democrats and one
hundred dollars donation. We're talking about hundreds of thousands, millions
of dollars in donations, and we're talking about people like
Chuck Schumer. We're talking about some of the biggest names
in the Democratic Party. Now, Chuck Schumer gave that money back,
But why are you taking it in the first place. Oh, well,
he didn't know what Jeffrey Epstein was. Okay, sure, he
(01:13):
had no idea what Jeffrey Epstein was. And it's wild
to see how many people get offended, like personally offended
when you bring up the fact that the Democrats were
wrapped up with Jeffrey Epstein and all these people that
have gotten mad over the past few months. As we've
been talking about Stacey Plaskett and the Democrats' involvement with
Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Well, you're part of the problem.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
All you lame fucks out there who like to use
what aboutism, and every time somebody brings up a Democrat
that was involved with Epstein, you have to bring up
the other side. You're part of the problem. Guess what,
we can have adult conversations. Okay, We've spent plenty of
time talking about all of the people who've been involved
with Jeffrey Epstein. Now we have a sit in congresswoman
who is being sued by the Epstein survivors, and nobody
(01:56):
seems to want to talk about it. Huh Why because
it could damage your political chances. Well, if that's the case,
you should take up your beef with Ted Lou. He
opened this door. Let's be very clear. Okay, Ted Lou
opened this door. Now we're walking straight through it. And
if that bothers you or offends you, well the door
is still open. Find your way out. I'm not gonna
(02:17):
sit here and pander to anybody. The facts are the facts.
And if you don't like the facts, that sounds like
a you problem. Today's article is from The Grio, and
the headline Plaskett calls out hypocritical Republicans condemns Trump for
telling supporters to fight after shooting. This article was authored
by GARYN Keith Gainor, Democratic congresswoman who's being sued by
(02:39):
the Epstein's survivors. Stacy Plaskett slam Republicans for suggesting Democrats
were to blame for the attempted assassination of former President
Donald Trump. Nah, I'm sure the rhetoric had nothing.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
To do with it.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Calling the dude Hitler and everything else under the sun,
I'm sure that had nothing to do with it. I'm
sure that all of that rhetoric didn't find any crazy people,
and no crazy people have any kind of crazy ass idea,
What do you think it's only on one side of
the aisle that there's crazy people or people that are
willing to commit violence for political reasons. Take a look
at Antifa, literally a counter revolutionary communist group in America
(03:15):
that runs around and can basically do whatever they want. Well,
up until recently, but up until recently, people were denying
that these people even existed. Talk about living in an
echo chamber. I guess when you have the media telling
you that your president is with it any sharpest attack
and you believe it, well, you're gonna believe anything they're
telling you.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
And I get it.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
A lot of people have had their worldview shattered recently,
and it's not a fun thing to have happened to you.
I went through the same exact thing with the war
in Iraq. I thought that everything was on the up
and up. I thought that we were doing the righteous thing,
only to find out that I was dog walked. And
the same thing's happening in you right now. Democrats. It's
either time to wake up or get woke.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Up.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
But one thing's for sure, you have to leave that
echo chamber. Echo chambers not doing you any good. Plaskt,
a former House impeachment manager in a case against Trump,
also called out the Republican presidential nominee for telling his
supporters to fight, fight, fight, just moments after a nearly
deadly bullet grazed his ear. Imagine being upset about that.
One of the most iconic moments in American politics. And
(04:19):
I don't care which side of the aisle you fall on,
there's no doubt that that picture, that situation, what occurred,
one of the most iconic points in at least a
recent American history. And that picture of Donald Trump standing
there with his fist raised and the American flag flying
above them, Yeah, that's iconic shit. And of course Stacy
Plaskitt's gonna come out and boo boo that because the
(04:40):
optics are bad. Right, you have one guy over here
getting grazed with a bullet, standing strong, telling his people
to fight. Then you have Joe Biden, who can barely
walk up the stairs, and folks, look, years ago, I
called him junior Soprano Biden. And that's because the dementia
was showing even then, I know a lot of people
didn't want to admit it. But the truth is the truth.
And at this point, with all the people that have
(05:02):
bounced from the podcast because of the gods of views
that I have and now because I'm picking on their
faves and the Democrats, I don't give a fuck anymore.
So We're just going to go all out here and
it's going to be a straight out bombing run. And
guess what, I don't care who gets offended anymore. The
stakes are too high at this point to worry about
your feelings. The truth sometimes is brutal, but guess what,
(05:22):
that's what you're always going to get on this podcast,
the truth. And as they say, sometimes the truth is
a hard pill to swallow. That's a ridiculous argument, said Plasket,
a House Delegate representing the US Virgin Islands, the ranking
member of the House Subcommittee on Government Weaponization of the
Federal Government, told The Grio that Democrats have repeatedly called
for laws and policies to remove violence in our society. Yeah,
(05:45):
like telling people to follow people around wherever they go,
make sure that they're not having any kind of a
good time, make sure that they're being harassed everywhere, going
to the Supreme Court, justices, houses, camping out. Is that
what you're talking about, Stacey Plaskett? Or maybe when Biden
said to put Trump in the bullseye, is that what
you mean? Because this whole entire narrative that the Democrats
(06:06):
haven't been ramping up violence, haven't had crazy ass rhetoric
for the last oh, i don't know, eight years is
straight up stupid.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
And a lie.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
All they've been doing is talking crazy about how people
in maga or this or that or the other thing.
And I've been telling you for how long that the
pitchforks and the torches should be teaming up against our
real overlords, which are the bankers, you know, the same
people that chose Obama's whole entire cabinet. Yeah, those people.
But instead, everybody wants to be divisive. Everybody wants to fight.
(06:36):
So for all these years, I've tried to toe that
middle ground and bring sides together. When it comes to Epstein,
no more, I've had enough. So the Left, you're on
your own. You want to come out here, you want
to act foolish, you want to start throwing blame around,
calling this one and that one an Epstein co conspirator,
when you have all of this disgusting garbage in your
own backyard. Sorry, I won't be a part of that.
(06:58):
And I'm not going to sit here and make pretend
that you folks aren't up to your ears in Jeffrey
Epstein nonsense, because you are. And that includes missus Plaskett here,
who was sitting in judgment of other Americans during January sixth.
How can anyone think that that's okay?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
She said.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
She also stood up against politically violent acts like pro
Trump rioters storming of the US Capitol on January sixth,
twenty twenty one. Yeah, how about when Steve Scalisee got shot?
How about when the cities were burned on a regular
basis during the Summer of Love. How about here in
Las Vegas when the dude walked up to the cop
and blasted him and made them a cripple? How about
(07:36):
any of that? Was that all peaceful too? You see,
you can't rewrite history. We all lived it, we all
saw it, and only the people who are living in
the echo chamber see it your way, Stacey Plaskett, Because
guess what, the independent voters out there, like me, we
have a whole different viewpoint on what's going on at
this point. And if you think it's just me, you're crazy.
It's so hypocritical for so many of my colleagues who
(07:58):
walked around with AK fifteen lapel pins, who have pushed
for violence, who raised their fist at individuals who were
trying to overthrow our government by violence, said Plasket. Our
rhetoric has been that President Trump, his policies, Project twenty
twenty five. Oh, give me a break with that. So
the Democrats now, all of a sudden, are q anon
the blue anons out here, believe in every conspiracy theory
(08:20):
they can get their hands on. What happened to not
believe in conspiracy theories, what happened at Pizzagate.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
What happened to all the other stuff? That was just
a big why guess what?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
When it fits your purposes, when it fits your narrative,
when it fits you trying to win an election, whole
different ballgame, right, Well, that's bs we're gonna.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Call that out here as well.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
And Project twenty twenty five enough already out here fearmongering
talking about a bunch of nonsense instead of talking about
Project twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
We should be talking.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
About why Stacy Plaskett took money from Jeffrey Epstein after
he was already a convicted pedophile. Anybody want to talk
about that or no? And for all the carrying on
you all did about alex Acosta and this one or
that one having a picture with Glenn Maxwell, you would
think that a sitting congress woman who took money from Epstein,
who was somebody that was allegedly helping Epstein, you know,
maneuver down in the USVII, that would be something of interest.
(09:12):
But there's no tread here besides me. There's hardly anyone
talking about this. But go ahead, keep banging on and
talking about how you care about justice. The Trump called
for unity in the hours after he was shot, as
did President Joe Biden in three televised remarks in the
hours following the Trump rally shooting. Representative of Mike Collins
from Georgia accus Biden of inciting an assassination. Well all
(09:34):
that rhetoric. I mean, look, if the shoe was on
the other foot, forget it. You guys would be trying
to string up Donald Trump and his supporters in the
town square. Oh what you think I forgot how you
canceled everybody. You think I forgot the US versus them mentality,
I haven't, and it's been destructive to society. And I've
been telling you that now for five years. But I
finally reached my breaking point too. And the way the
(09:56):
left has been carrying on and the way the left
has conducted them themselves in the wake of this assassination attempt, Yeah,
consider me turn the fuck off. And when it comes
to the election, zero chance I'm voting for any of them. Okay,
I am not voting for one single Democrat at this point.
These fools can't even keep their own house in order.
They don't even know who their nominees is gonna be,
(10:17):
and you're out here talking crazy about other people. Former
presidential candidate Tim Scott wrote on x this was an
assassination attempt, aided and abetted by the radical left and
corporate media instantly calling Trump a threat to democracy, fascists
or worse. I mean, is that untrue? What's untrue about that?
I know it doesn't fit with your worldview if you're
(10:39):
somebody on the left, but the facts are the facts.
The people on the left, they are under this illusion
that they actually have the moral high ground here, but
they don't. An independent voter is like myself. We recognize it,
and we recognize the hubris and the way they've conducted
themselves and the way that they've basically conducted pograms in
society to go after people who think differently than them.
(11:02):
And Stacey Plasket's a great example of all of that.
This lady's out here under investigation for her involvement with
Jeffrey Epstein, and she has the audacity to preach to anybody, well,
guess what you can miss me with that. Plasket noted
that the bloody Trump telling his thousands of supporters that
the campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania to fight was definitely
(11:23):
not supportive of us trying to bring down the rhetoric. Yeah,
him getting shot wasn't supportive of it either. Okay, Stacey Plaskett,
here's an idea. Why don't you bring the rhetoric down
with your own people? Why don't you bring the rhetoric
down on the left. Because the vile shit I hear
on a regular basis, and not from you know, far
flowng corners of the left, from relatively mainstream people on
(11:45):
the left.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
It's all vile.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
So it's okay for them to talk like that, to
talk crazy, to talk about you know, this one's a Nazi,
this one's this, this one's that white supremacy colonizer, all
this other crazy shit. But Trump tells his people to
fight after catching a hot one by an obvious lunatic,
and he's the problem here. No, Stacy Plaskett, you're the problem,
and America's waken up to it. We'recalling the former Republican
(12:12):
President's infamous message to a white nationalist group. During a
twenty twenty presidential debate against Biden. Plasket said telling individuals
like the Proud Boys stand back and stand by doesn't
help as well in tamping down that kind of rhetoric.
So we're gonna go all the way back to twenty twenty. Now,
have you told Antifa to tap it down? Have you
told Antifa to stop their bullshit up in Oregon? Attacking people,
(12:34):
beating people up, breaking up people are having prayer group
meetings and shit. Have you said anything about that?
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Why not? Well, because they're your paramilitary right you want
to go into conspiracy theories. You want to talk about nationalists.
This at the other thing. Well, since everybody loves conspiracy theories.
Now Antifa is the military wing of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
How about we just say that.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Can we just throw that out there like Stacy Plasket's
throwing this other bullshit out there and correct me if
I'm wrong? But did in the Proud Boys or people
in the Proud Boys get some serious jail time? How
many people in Antifa are getting serious jail sentences? How
many of those people have had their stories blasted all
over the national news. Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis, who
told the Grio Saturday shooting was jarring for the Keystone State,
(13:19):
noted that while Republicans are placing blame across the political aisle,
Democrats have also experienced political violence and threats in past years.
Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband two years ago was really
assaulted in their home. Oh give me a break, there
is no comparison. He was assaulted by some crazy person
in the crazy ass place of northern California. Here's an idea.
Stop letting all those drug addicts just run loose in
(13:41):
the streets. You see, we don't have a gun problem, folks,
we have a mental health problem. Those are just the facts, okay,
And furthermore, the leading cause of death of people eighteen
to forty nine drug overdose, not guns. But y'all don't
want to have that conversation, right, can't grift on that,
can't divide people on that. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer had
(14:02):
a kidnapping plot that almost happened. Yeah, I have my
doubts about that. Anytime the FBI's involved that deep, I
have my doubts. And before you start with you or oh,
it's a conspiracy theory, well what about all the conspiracy
theories you're diving into talking about this that the other thing.
Trump wasn't really shot, it was staged. Come on now,
if it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander, right.
(14:24):
I would caution folks to really take a moment and
step back. I don't think casting blame at this moment
helps our democracy or helps anyone. I think we should
let the investigators do their job. Were you saying the
same thing during the Whitmer situation. No, you weren't. Of
course you weren't. It was everybody's fault, right, everybody who
voted for Trump, it's their fault. But now well we
should take a step back. Sorry, somebody tried to assassinate
(14:47):
a former president. People aren't going to take a step back.
People aren't going to give it time. People want answers,
And there was obviously a failure with the Secret Service.
We're going to get to that later. But to try
and act like there wasn't a build up of rhetoric here,
like people haven't been saying crazy shit for years and
years and years, Well, that's just straight up bs, and
(15:08):
anybody pitching that narrative is a liar. Senator Mike Lee
called for Biden to immediately order prosecutors to drop the
criminal charges against Trump in two federal cases of election
fraud and withholding classified documents. Judge Eileen Cannon, a Trump appointee,
recently dismissed the latter case and a controversial ruling deemed
as partisan by Democrats and legal experts. Yeah, read the documents.
(15:31):
If it's not constitutional, it's not constitutional. And I know
a lot of the people out there haven't even bothered
to read the documents. They're just going on what they've heard,
what their best friends in the media have told them. Well,
unlike everybody else, I read the documents. And not only
do I read them, I share the documents with you,
so that way everybody's hip to what's going on. And
(15:52):
what else is hilarious is you have all these people
out here at matt at Judge Cannon. How about a
little bit of that righteous anger focused on the judges
who let Epstein walk. We're not going to talk about that, though,
are we Only convenient when you think you're going to
score Epstein points? Only convenient when Ted lou thinks he
can connect Donald Trump. It seems repeatedly that her rhetoric
(16:13):
is to support Donald Trump, not the rule of law.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Said Plaskett.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Well, that's funny.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
It seems like all of.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Your rhetoric was to support Jeffrey Epstein and help them
try and get those sex offender laws changed. Good old
Stacy Plaskett living on that Ivory Tower talking down to
everybody else. Meanwhile, she has a pocket full of Jeffrey
Epstein's money, and not a word of that in this article,
not one single word.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
So how can we take you seriously?
Speaker 1 (16:35):
You're a journalist, Grio, and you don't even ask about
the fact that she's being sued by Epstein's survivors. You
just let her rant about all this nonsense. Don't even
challenge anything she's talking about.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Okay. As for the call to drop charges.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Against Trump, the congress woman told the Grio, I don't
see what one has to do with the other. She
added that it was a ludicrous notion to suggest the
judicial process stops because of a lone gunman. Well, look,
I agree, right, if there is evidence that Trump did
something wrong, then you have to go after him. But
if it's just a witch hunt, well it's not gonna
work out for you. Well at the end, and it
looks like a lot of these cases that have been
(17:09):
brought against Trump, well they're not working out so well,
are they. You're gonna blame the judges in every single instance.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Guess what.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
At some point you have to start looking in the
mirror and start looking at your representatives that you voted for,
who have been lying to you all these years. And
I know people don't like their worldview shattered, but folks,
guess what, Sometimes life gets in the way. And as
far as this being a lone gunman, we don't know
that yet. How's she going to be out here popping
(17:36):
off like that? We don't know the whole story We've
got to follow the judicial process and the rules of law,
she urged. When asked how the Trump shooting will change,
if at all, how Democrats campaign against Trump and the
Republican Party, Plasket noted that she and her colleagues will
keep the focus on the key national policies like gun control,
which she noted Republicans have refused to join Democrats in
addressing gun control. That's always the same thing, right, gun control,
(18:00):
gun control, gun control, No talk about mental health. Every
single one of these people that goes on a shooting
spree is fucking crazy, okay, batshit crazy, But we don't
want to talk about that, right. Not divisive enough. Remember,
it's all about how divisive they can be. And for
these people like Stacy Plaskett to get out there and
point their fingers at the other side when they're one
(18:21):
of the most divisive people in Congress, it's wild to me.
Republican policies have unfortunately caused another death and individuals who
have been injured, She said of Saturday shooting. We're going
to talk about President Biden in forcing that through the
policies that he had.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
This is what she has to say.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
This is your congresswoman Stacy Plaskett. This is what she
thinks about the other side. She thinks everybody who votes
Trump stupid. She thinks everybody who doesn't think like her dumb,
and she thinks she can control everybody's lives. Well, guess what,
Jeffrey Epstein's pal, Stacey Plaskett, the buck stops here. All
these other grifters that cover Jeffrey Epstein or make pretend
they cover Jeffrey Epstein just to get that bag. By
(18:58):
the way, they might be ignoring Stacy Plaskett because it
doesn't fit their democratic narrative. But guess what, not here,
Stacy Plaskett, You're on the clock. Plaskett continued, We're going
to continue to go after Trump for his rhetoric as
well as his damning policies on our democracy, whether that
be Trump's Project twenty twenty five, the things that he
says at rallies, and his record as a former president.
(19:22):
What about your record as a sitting congresswoman. What about
your record as somebody who was deeply involved with Jeffrey Epstein.
And I'll tell you what, I'm more than willing to
listen to everything you have to say about Trump. After
you answer questions about Jeffrey Epstein and why you took
money from him, why you played ball with him, and
why you asked him to help you advance your political career.
(19:42):
Until you answer these questions and answer them honestly, nobody
cares what you have to say, Stacey Plaskett. So here's
an idea. Instead of sitting around and trying to make
yourself famous on the national stage, worry about the USVII,
worry about what's going on down there, and worry about
the fact that the whole entire government that you were
part of was in the bag for Jeffrey Epstein. All
(20:03):
of the information that goes with this episode can be
found in the description box. What's up, everyone, and welcome
back to the Epstein Chronicles. Today we're gonna spin down
to the US Virgin Islands and get an update on
what's going on down there with the survivor's lawsuit that
they filed against the US Virgin Islands and various politicians
(20:24):
from the territory, and of course, leading the charge coming
out against the lawsuit is none other than Stacy Plasket.
And it's hilarious to me because the USVII, for how
many years have they tried to tell you that they're
the heroes here and everything they're doing is all about justice. Meanwhile,
that couldn't be further from the truth. It's never been
(20:45):
about justice down in the USVII. It's about covering their
ass and getting a few bucks in return. And Stacey Plaskett,
she's among the worst. In my opinion. This lady's up
here taking a bunch of dough from Epstein, saying she's
not gonna give it, and then acting audacious when she's
named in a lawsuit. I'd like to remind Stacy Plaskett,
(21:06):
like she told everybody during January sixth, nobody is above
the law, and that includes you. Today's article is from
the Saint Thomas Source and the headline Plasket joins calls
for frivolous New York Epstein lawsuit to be dismissed.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
This article was.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Authored by c and Cobb, Delegate to Congress. Stacy Plaskett
is the latest Virgin Islands official calling for a class
action lawsuit brought by six Jeffrey Epstein victims you mean
survivors against the VI government to be dismissed, saying in
a court filing on Thursday that the complaint is legally
and factually frivolous and was filed with no apparent justification. Oh,
(21:48):
there's plenty of justification here. How about the fact that
all of your politicians, pretty much during the time that
Epstein was active, were receiving some sort of benefit from him.
That might necessitate a deeper look. No, then again, I
guess down in the Virgin Islands, it's all gully. The suit,
filed in late November in Manhattan Federal Court by Jane
(22:09):
Does one through five and amended in December to add
an additional plaintiff, accuses the VI government of a sprawling
conspiracy to aid Epstein's sex trafficking scheme. And I've pointed
this out from the beginning. They can argue all they
want that they weren't involved, They're not going to be
able to prove that because the evidence is certainly in
(22:30):
the other direction. And that's why I told you they
were opening up at can of worms when they decided
they were going to sue JP Morgan. It was bad
enough suing the estate, but suing JP Morgan. I knew
they were going to end up in the position that
they're in now. And this is what happens when you're greedy,
the wealthy financier you mean pedophile who became a registered
(22:51):
sex offender after pleading guilty to procuring a minor for
prostitution in Florida in two thousand and eight in a
controversial plea agreement by apparent suicide in August twenty nineteen,
while detained in New York on federal human trafficking charges.
His primary residence was Little Saint James, his private island
off Saint Thomas, where for years he ran a complex
(23:14):
web of shell companies registered in the USVII that enabled
his crimes. So how did he get all of those
shell companies set up? Did he just show up down
there and set them up himself or were there people
in the government bureaucrats like Stacy Plaskett who helped them
along the way. You don't have to be a genius
to figure this one out, folks. But then again, maybe
(23:36):
the media is just too busy fawning over Joe Mensha
and his buddy Bill Clinton. You know, Jeffrey Epstein's best
friend at their little gala the other night. Imagine that Ludacris. Shit,
what sort of person in the right mind is gonna
trot out Bill Clinton and think it's a good idea.
But I guess if you're Joe Biden, you could do
whatever you want and nobody's gonna hold you accountable. Huh, Well,
(23:59):
that shit stops here. The party's over for Joe Biden,
for anybody who's hanging out with Epstein's enablers. How many
times do we have to go through this? And it's
damning that basically the whole entire left has just abandoned
all of Epstein's survivors at this point. Oh yeah, Bill Clinton,
what a great guy. Let's go win an election. It's
(24:19):
not only hypocritical, it's straight up embarrassing. And if you're
a part of that, and you're somebody who thinks or
says that they care about Epstein survivors, you should probably
reevaluate your support of somebody like Bill Clinton. Along with Plaskett,
the suit names former Governor John Dejeong, former First Lady
Cecile DeJong, former Governor Kenneth Mapp, former Attorney General Vincent Fraser,
(24:43):
former Senator Celestino White, vi Port Authority Director Carlton Doe
in his role as a then senator, and John Doe's
one through one hundred, who are variously described as USVII
air traffic controllers, USVII airport baggage check agents, you, USVI
Coastguard agents, and USVII police officers, all people who know
(25:05):
what the deal is and all people who should have
been able to step in and stop this bullshit. When
you have people at the airport that are more hip
to what's going on allegedly than the law enforcement officials
on the island, what does that tell you Either A
they are absolutely inept and shouldn't have those jobs, or
(25:26):
B they're looking the other way. I'm gonna go with
option B. Alex Plaskett, who is represented by Eric B.
Breslin of Dwayne Morris LLP, filed her twenty four page
response by the Thursday deadline imposed by Judge Aroun sub Romanian.
The plaintiffs who have been granted permission to proceed anonymously
(25:48):
as Jane does one through six given the sensitive nature
of sexual abuse cases, are represented by attorneys with Merson
Law PLLLC of New York. Those complaint leans heavily on
information uncovered through the depositions and discovery by both sides
in the VI government's lawsuit. Against JP Morgan Chase, Epstein's
(26:10):
banker from about nineteen ninety nine until twenty thirteen. That
was settled in September for seventy five million. So again,
this all goes back to their greed. They have to
profit off of Epstein's bullshit on both ends. Not only
do they profit on Epstein's criminality, now, they're profiting when
they're going after a conviction or going after a civil case.
(26:33):
The only outcome here was the USVII getting sued by
the survivors at some point, just like the FBI is
getting sued now. In fact, the complaint states that it
was not until the VI government sued the bank and
territory officials were deposed as part of that case that
the plaintiffs in public learned of the many acts committed
(26:53):
by defendants which contributed to and caused plaintiffs injuries, which
is sort of true, I guess. But we've known about
this for how long? How long have we talked about it?
Go back and look at the catalog. We've been talking
about the USVII and their bullshit for years. All of
this deposition stuff in court documents. What it does, It
provides receipts, but when you talk to enough people who
(27:16):
have been around this, enough people down in the USVII,
enough people on the inside, you can put together the
whole entire map for yourself. Then you get these receipts,
and what that does. It just solidifies everything. Both Cecial
DeJong and John DeJong have filed motions to dismiss the lawsuit,
as has the VI Justice Department, which is representing map In.
(27:38):
Fraser White and Dow have both requested more time to
answer the complaint until they secure New York attorneys. The
plaintiffs then have until April eleventh to file an omnibus
opposition to all the outstanding motions. Central to the motions
to dismiss is whether the District Court for the Southern
District of New York even as jurisdiction to hear the case,
(28:00):
and whether it is the proper venue given the alleged
crimes occurred in the US Virgin Islands. Already relying on
loopholes and technicalities, tells you and shows you everything you
need to know of folks. While Epstein owned the mansion
and other properties in New York and the plaintiffs all
live there, all the defendants are residents of the USVII
(28:21):
and add little to no interaction with them in that state,
let alone business dealings according to court filings. They want
to stack the court. They want it down here in
the USVII, where they can manage things, where they can
massage things. Plaskett sat in her response that she was
horrified when she learned of Epstein's conduct after his arrest
(28:42):
in August of twenty nineteen, and that attempts to link
her to his crimes because she solicited political donations from
him during a visit to his Manhattan mansion and because
she was the general counsel for the VI Economic Development
Authority when he was awarded lucrative tax breaks is nothing
more than wild speculation stated in conclusory form, which is
(29:02):
an absolute joke. How did he get those tax benefits
when you were the Economic Development Authority boss? Just happened overnight,
and then you get a bunch of money from him
for political donations. Yeah, there's nothing to see here. If
her name was alex Acosta, though, forget it, we'd have
ten Julie K. Brown articles out. But now, considering what's
(29:24):
going on here with plasket Bill Clinton being trotted out,
it's interesting that you don't see any criticism of that
from the legacy media.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Right.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I wonder why it couldn't be that they're protecting their faves,
could it. It appears that plaintiffs only named Congresswoman Plasket
in this case is because she is a high profile
Virgin Island's politician, presumably raising the profile of their complaint.
Plaintiffs have no basis to suggest there was a nexus
between the Congresswoman Plasket and Epstein's crimes, according to the
(29:55):
memorandum of law filed in support of hermotion to dismiss.
While that might be true, she enabled it. That's right,
I said it. She enabled it. Prove me wrong, show
up with some receipts and prove me wrong. And if
you can't do that, kindly shut the fuck up and
head to the back of the classroom because your opinion
and your nonsense is not needed. The scandalous and reprehensible
(30:19):
nature of the allegations serve only to tarnish the congress
woman's hard won good name and reputation. Hard won good
name and reputation. How did she earn that by trashing
people's lives, by going after people and calling them terrorists?
Give me a break. Already with Stacy Plaskett, and frankly,
(30:39):
anyone who supports her or Bill Clinton, you're probably not
going to enjoy the content on this podcast moving forward,
because I have had my fill of the hypocrisy, and
I have had my fill of the ruling party and
their refusal to step in and do anything about these
people who are involved with Epstein. When Trump was president,
all we heard was accountability, this accountability that now that
(31:02):
Biden's running around, bring in Bill Richardson into the fold,
Bring in Bill Clinton back into the fold. Miss Stacy
Plasket over here, get a bunch of dough from Reid Hoffman,
his head of the CIA, having meetings and lunches with
Jeffrey Epstein. But no accountability, no articles about that, right,
And these people out here are these progressives who are
(31:23):
trying to weaponize this talk about a boomerang effect, that
shit's gonna come back and smash you directly in the face.
Plaintiffs do not allege any fact sufficient to infer that
Congresswoman Plasket ever had reason to know of Epstein's trafficking,
much less that she agreed to join in his operation.
Oh no, she had no idea, had the plaintiffs done
(31:44):
any research. So calling the survivors a liar, that's nice,
considering I thought that the USVII was, you know, the
hero in the story. They would realize that as General
Counsel for the EDA, a job she held from two
thousand and seven to twenty twelve, Plasket was not involved
decisions regarding who received tax benefits. According to the memorandum,
(32:04):
by statute that was the purview of the CEO and
Chairman of the Economic Development Commission, with the final approval
by the Governor. It says, you mean the governor who
is in Epstein's pocket. This is nothing more than a
bunch of word salad, and frankly, it's embarrassing and it's
disrespectful to the survivors. As for the thirty thousand dollars
(32:28):
in political donations the complaint alleges Plasket received from Epstein
and his associates, the money was never paid because the
Democratic National Committee declined to accept it. The memorandum states
not only that, but a brief visit to discuss campaign
contributions that never materialized does not amount to transacting business
in New York. It says, what she's looking for is
(32:49):
plausible deniability, and I'm not giving it to her. We
didn't give it to alex Acosta, and we're certainly not
giving it to Stacey Plaskett. And anybody who does that
just means that you're not serious about what's going on here,
and you're certainly not serious about justice. Moreover, it's not
clear from the lawsuit how plaskets alleged meetings with Epstein
a rose from a sex trafficking scheme. They are simply
(33:12):
more of plaintiffs scattershot attempts to implicate this congresswoman at
any cost without regard for logic, law, or facts. According
to the memorandum. Now, remember the USVII has already collected
what close to two hundred million dollars. They talked about justice.
This at the other thing. Now, this is just a
scattershot attempt by the survivors. And I could see all
(33:33):
those good little soldiers out there that can't go against
their faiths, who are sweating right now trying to figure
out how they're going to come to terms with this. Well,
guess what, there is no middle of the road here.
It's either you support the survivors and justice or you don't.
And anybody that's hanging out with Bill Clinton or defending
Stacy Plaskett well breaking news. They don't care about justice.
(33:55):
The amended complaint provides no plausible explanation as to why
she should have known of the sex trafficking, how she
should have learned of it, or what age she is
alleged to have provided it, says Plasket. Also argues that
the Trafficking Victims Protection Act claims alleged by the plaintiffs
are barred by the ten year statue of limitations, so
(34:16):
any that occurred prior to November twenty second, twenty thirteen
should be dismissed. Given that the lawsuit was filed on
November twenty second, twenty twenty three. Can you imagine this
is what Stacey Plaskett, your hero, has to say about
the survivors. The plaintiffs have alleged violations of the TVPA
and conspiracy to violate the TVPA from two thousand and
(34:37):
one to twenty nineteen, while Jane Doe four and Jane
Do five alleged injuries that accrued between two thousand and
one and two thousand and nine, and Jane Doe six
in two thousand and four, in effect bootstrapping their expired
claims to timely claims. The memorandum states, Oh, you might
have been abused, but the time statutes have run out,
and you know down here in the Virgin Islands, we
(34:59):
didn't investigate sh anyway, so what does it matter. Additionally,
the complaint should be dismissed because it improperly relies on
a group pleading, making it impossible to determine what congress
Woman Plasket is said to have done. Plaintiffs cannot simply
lump defendants together for pleting purposes, it says, citing case law,
Nearly every allegation in the amended complaint relies on the
(35:21):
defendants or some other group Moniker. It's impossible to determine
what facts underpin the allegations against congress Woman Plasket, likely
there are none, like the other defendants. Plasket also questions
why a suit against the VI government names the john
does variously described as air traffic controllers, end customs baggage
(35:42):
check and Coastguard agents as employees of the USVII when
those are federal government operations or the purview of private companies.
The allegations border on nonsensical. The memorandum states, you know
what's nonsensical, the way the US Virgin Islands conducted itself
for all these years, the way they can continued to
profit off of Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking. And what's even
(36:04):
more ridiculous is the fact that a large number of
people still won't hold them accountable. None of these threadbaars,
sometimes demonstrably untrue allegations, establishes any nexus between Congresswoman Plasket
and Epstein's crimes, or even that she had reason to
know of his crimes. Plaintiff fails to allege that the
congresswoman did anything wrong or improper at all. The allegations
(36:28):
are speculative, slanderous, and have no good faith basis, and
the complaint should be dismissed. According to the memorandum, all
discovery in the case has been stayed pending an initial
pre trial conference set for May third. So for all
those people who tried to tell me that the USVII
was the good guy here, well can you hear me now?
If not, let me tell you again the USVII, Stacy Plasket,
(36:52):
all these scumbags they don't care. Oh they'll tell you
they care, but their actions tell us something different. And
Stacy Plaskett is certainly no different than any of these
other dirt bags that help enable and propagate Jeffrey Epstein
throughout the years. All right, folks, well that's gonna do
it for this one. Obviously, we're gonna keep an eye
on this and see where it all goes. But the
(37:12):
whole entire narrative from the USVII and Stacy Plaskett and
the people defending her, the whole narrative is garbage. And
once it gets into a courtroom, if it gets that far,
I think that a jury will see that. So we'll
see where it all goes. And like I said, we'll
keep an eye on things, and when we have some
more information, we'll get it added to the catalog. All
of the information that goes with this episode can be
(37:35):
found in the description box.
What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
You know, I've had my fill of the Democrats and
their bullshit when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. For the
past few years, I've been willing to put things to
the side and work towards justice when it comes to Epstein.
And there's no doubt that there's a lot of people
on both sides of the aisle that have taken money
(00:21):
from Epstein, that have hobbnobbed with Epstein, and that have
played games with Epstein.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
But since Ted.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Lu opened the door, we're gonna walk through it. If
he wants to try and stick this as a Republican issue,
do you really think we're just gonna sit here and
let that occur, considering how many people in the Democratic
Party had their hand in the trough, and if you
go through it, and if you want to make it
a numbers game, the vast majority of people that Jeffrey
Epstein donated to throughout his time we're Democrats.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
And we're not.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Talking about you know, little Iday Pidley Democrats and one
hundred dollars donation. We're talking about hundreds of thousands, millions
of dollars in donations, and we're talking about people like
Chuck Schumer. We're talking about some of the biggest names
in the Democratic Party. Now, Chuck Schumer gave that money back,
But why are you taking it in the first place. Oh, well,
he didn't know what Jeffrey Epstein was. Okay, sure, he
(01:13):
had no idea what Jeffrey Epstein was. And it's wild
to see how many people get offended, like personally offended
when you bring up the fact that the Democrats were
wrapped up with Jeffrey Epstein and all these people that
have gotten mad over the past few months. As we've
been talking about Stacey Plaskett and the Democrats' involvement with
Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Well, you're part of the problem.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
All you lame fucks out there who like to use
what aboutism, and every time somebody brings up a Democrat
that was involved with Epstein, you have to bring up
the other side. You're part of the problem. Guess what,
we can have adult conversations. Okay, We've spent plenty of
time talking about all of the people who've been involved
with Jeffrey Epstein. Now we have a sit in congresswoman
who is being sued by the Epstein survivors, and nobody
(01:56):
seems to want to talk about it. Huh Why because
it could damage your political chances. Well, if that's the case,
you should take up your beef with Ted Lou. He
opened this door. Let's be very clear. Okay, Ted Lou
opened this door. Now we're walking straight through it. And
if that bothers you or offends you, well the door
is still open. Find your way out. I'm not gonna
(02:17):
sit here and pander to anybody. The facts are the facts.
And if you don't like the facts, that sounds like
a you problem. Today's article is from The Grio, and
the headline Plaskett calls out hypocritical Republicans condemns Trump for
telling supporters to fight after shooting. This article was authored
by GARYN Keith Gainor, Democratic congresswoman who's being sued by
(02:39):
the Epstein's survivors. Stacy Plaskett slam Republicans for suggesting Democrats
were to blame for the attempted assassination of former President
Donald Trump. Nah, I'm sure the rhetoric had nothing.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
To do with it.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Calling the dude Hitler and everything else under the sun,
I'm sure that had nothing to do with it. I'm
sure that all of that rhetoric didn't find any crazy people,
and no crazy people have any kind of crazy ass idea,
What do you think it's only on one side of
the aisle that there's crazy people or people that are
willing to commit violence for political reasons. Take a look
at Antifa, literally a counter revolutionary communist group in America
(03:15):
that runs around and can basically do whatever they want. Well,
up until recently, but up until recently, people were denying
that these people even existed. Talk about living in an
echo chamber. I guess when you have the media telling
you that your president is with it any sharpest attack
and you believe it, well, you're gonna believe anything they're
telling you.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
And I get it.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
A lot of people have had their worldview shattered recently,
and it's not a fun thing to have happened to you.
I went through the same exact thing with the war
in Iraq. I thought that everything was on the up
and up. I thought that we were doing the righteous thing,
only to find out that I was dog walked. And
the same thing's happening in you right now. Democrats. It's
either time to wake up or get woke.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Up.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
But one thing's for sure, you have to leave that
echo chamber. Echo chambers not doing you any good. Plaskt,
a former House impeachment manager in a case against Trump,
also called out the Republican presidential nominee for telling his
supporters to fight, fight, fight, just moments after a nearly
deadly bullet grazed his ear. Imagine being upset about that.
One of the most iconic moments in American politics. And
(04:19):
I don't care which side of the aisle you fall on,
there's no doubt that that picture, that situation, what occurred,
one of the most iconic points in at least a
recent American history. And that picture of Donald Trump standing
there with his fist raised and the American flag flying
above them, Yeah, that's iconic shit. And of course Stacy
Plaskitt's gonna come out and boo boo that because the
(04:40):
optics are bad. Right, you have one guy over here
getting grazed with a bullet, standing strong, telling his people
to fight. Then you have Joe Biden, who can barely
walk up the stairs, and folks, look, years ago, I
called him junior Soprano Biden. And that's because the dementia
was showing even then, I know a lot of people
didn't want to admit it. But the truth is the truth.
And at this point, with all the people that have
(05:02):
bounced from the podcast because of the gods of views
that I have and now because I'm picking on their
faves and the Democrats, I don't give a fuck anymore.
So We're just going to go all out here and
it's going to be a straight out bombing run. And
guess what, I don't care who gets offended anymore. The
stakes are too high at this point to worry about
your feelings. The truth sometimes is brutal, but guess what,
(05:22):
that's what you're always going to get on this podcast,
the truth. And as they say, sometimes the truth is
a hard pill to swallow. That's a ridiculous argument, said Plasket,
a House Delegate representing the US Virgin Islands, the ranking
member of the House Subcommittee on Government Weaponization of the
Federal Government, told The Grio that Democrats have repeatedly called
for laws and policies to remove violence in our society. Yeah,
(05:45):
like telling people to follow people around wherever they go,
make sure that they're not having any kind of a
good time, make sure that they're being harassed everywhere, going
to the Supreme Court, justices, houses, camping out. Is that
what you're talking about, Stacey Plaskett? Or maybe when Biden
said to put Trump in the bullseye, is that what
you mean? Because this whole entire narrative that the Democrats
(06:06):
haven't been ramping up violence, haven't had crazy ass rhetoric
for the last oh, i don't know, eight years is
straight up stupid.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
And a lie.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
All they've been doing is talking crazy about how people
in maga or this or that or the other thing.
And I've been telling you for how long that the
pitchforks and the torches should be teaming up against our
real overlords, which are the bankers, you know, the same
people that chose Obama's whole entire cabinet. Yeah, those people.
But instead, everybody wants to be divisive. Everybody wants to fight.
(06:36):
So for all these years, I've tried to toe that
middle ground and bring sides together. When it comes to Epstein,
no more, I've had enough. So the Left, you're on
your own. You want to come out here, you want
to act foolish, you want to start throwing blame around,
calling this one and that one an Epstein co conspirator,
when you have all of this disgusting garbage in your
own backyard. Sorry, I won't be a part of that.
(06:58):
And I'm not going to sit here and make pretend
that you folks aren't up to your ears in Jeffrey
Epstein nonsense, because you are. And that includes missus Plaskett here,
who was sitting in judgment of other Americans during January sixth.
How can anyone think that that's okay?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
She said.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
She also stood up against politically violent acts like pro
Trump rioters storming of the US Capitol on January sixth,
twenty twenty one. Yeah, how about when Steve Scalisee got shot?
How about when the cities were burned on a regular
basis during the Summer of Love. How about here in
Las Vegas when the dude walked up to the cop
and blasted him and made them a cripple? How about
(07:36):
any of that? Was that all peaceful too? You see,
you can't rewrite history. We all lived it, we all
saw it, and only the people who are living in
the echo chamber see it your way, Stacey Plaskett, Because
guess what, the independent voters out there, like me, we
have a whole different viewpoint on what's going on at
this point. And if you think it's just me, you're crazy.
It's so hypocritical for so many of my colleagues who
(07:58):
walked around with AK fifteen lapel pins, who have pushed
for violence, who raised their fist at individuals who were
trying to overthrow our government by violence, said Plasket. Our
rhetoric has been that President Trump, his policies, Project twenty
twenty five. Oh, give me a break with that. So
the Democrats now, all of a sudden, are q anon
the blue anons out here, believe in every conspiracy theory
(08:20):
they can get their hands on. What happened to not
believe in conspiracy theories, what happened at Pizzagate.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
What happened to all the other stuff? That was just
a big why guess what?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
When it fits your purposes, when it fits your narrative,
when it fits you trying to win an election, whole
different ballgame, right, Well, that's bs we're gonna.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Call that out here as well.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
And Project twenty twenty five enough already out here fearmongering
talking about a bunch of nonsense instead of talking about
Project twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
We should be talking.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
About why Stacy Plaskett took money from Jeffrey Epstein after
he was already a convicted pedophile. Anybody want to talk
about that or no? And for all the carrying on
you all did about alex Acosta and this one or
that one having a picture with Glenn Maxwell, you would
think that a sitting congress woman who took money from Epstein,
who was somebody that was allegedly helping Epstein, you know,
maneuver down in the USVII, that would be something of interest.
(09:12):
But there's no tread here besides me. There's hardly anyone
talking about this. But go ahead, keep banging on and
talking about how you care about justice. The Trump called
for unity in the hours after he was shot, as
did President Joe Biden in three televised remarks in the
hours following the Trump rally shooting. Representative of Mike Collins
from Georgia accus Biden of inciting an assassination. Well all
(09:34):
that rhetoric. I mean, look, if the shoe was on
the other foot, forget it. You guys would be trying
to string up Donald Trump and his supporters in the
town square. Oh what you think I forgot how you
canceled everybody. You think I forgot the US versus them mentality,
I haven't, and it's been destructive to society. And I've
been telling you that now for five years. But I
finally reached my breaking point too. And the way the
(09:56):
left has been carrying on and the way the left
has conducted them themselves in the wake of this assassination attempt, Yeah,
consider me turn the fuck off. And when it comes
to the election, zero chance I'm voting for any of them. Okay,
I am not voting for one single Democrat at this point.
These fools can't even keep their own house in order.
They don't even know who their nominees is gonna be,
(10:17):
and you're out here talking crazy about other people. Former
presidential candidate Tim Scott wrote on x this was an
assassination attempt, aided and abetted by the radical left and
corporate media instantly calling Trump a threat to democracy, fascists
or worse. I mean, is that untrue? What's untrue about that?
I know it doesn't fit with your worldview if you're
(10:39):
somebody on the left, but the facts are the facts.
The people on the left, they are under this illusion
that they actually have the moral high ground here, but
they don't. An independent voter is like myself. We recognize it,
and we recognize the hubris and the way they've conducted
themselves and the way that they've basically conducted pograms in
society to go after people who think differently than them.
(11:02):
And Stacey Plasket's a great example of all of that.
This lady's out here under investigation for her involvement with
Jeffrey Epstein, and she has the audacity to preach to anybody, well,
guess what you can miss me with that. Plasket noted
that the bloody Trump telling his thousands of supporters that
the campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania to fight was definitely
(11:23):
not supportive of us trying to bring down the rhetoric. Yeah,
him getting shot wasn't supportive of it either. Okay, Stacey Plaskett,
here's an idea. Why don't you bring the rhetoric down
with your own people? Why don't you bring the rhetoric
down on the left. Because the vile shit I hear
on a regular basis, and not from you know, far
flowng corners of the left, from relatively mainstream people on
(11:45):
the left.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
It's all vile.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
So it's okay for them to talk like that, to
talk crazy, to talk about you know, this one's a Nazi,
this one's this, this one's that white supremacy colonizer, all
this other crazy shit. But Trump tells his people to
fight after catching a hot one by an obvious lunatic,
and he's the problem here. No, Stacy Plaskett, you're the problem,
and America's waken up to it. We'recalling the former Republican
(12:12):
President's infamous message to a white nationalist group. During a
twenty twenty presidential debate against Biden. Plasket said telling individuals
like the Proud Boys stand back and stand by doesn't
help as well in tamping down that kind of rhetoric.
So we're gonna go all the way back to twenty twenty. Now,
have you told Antifa to tap it down? Have you
told Antifa to stop their bullshit up in Oregon? Attacking people,
(12:34):
beating people up, breaking up people are having prayer group
meetings and shit. Have you said anything about that?
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Why not? Well, because they're your paramilitary right you want
to go into conspiracy theories. You want to talk about nationalists.
This at the other thing. Well, since everybody loves conspiracy theories.
Now Antifa is the military wing of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
How about we just say that.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Can we just throw that out there like Stacy Plasket's
throwing this other bullshit out there and correct me if
I'm wrong? But did in the Proud Boys or people
in the Proud Boys get some serious jail time? How
many people in Antifa are getting serious jail sentences? How
many of those people have had their stories blasted all
over the national news. Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis, who
told the Grio Saturday shooting was jarring for the Keystone State,
(13:19):
noted that while Republicans are placing blame across the political aisle,
Democrats have also experienced political violence and threats in past years.
Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband two years ago was really
assaulted in their home. Oh give me a break, there
is no comparison. He was assaulted by some crazy person
in the crazy ass place of northern California. Here's an idea.
Stop letting all those drug addicts just run loose in
(13:41):
the streets. You see, we don't have a gun problem, folks,
we have a mental health problem. Those are just the facts, okay,
And furthermore, the leading cause of death of people eighteen
to forty nine drug overdose, not guns. But y'all don't
want to have that conversation, right, can't grift on that,
can't divide people on that. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer had
(14:02):
a kidnapping plot that almost happened. Yeah, I have my
doubts about that. Anytime the FBI's involved that deep, I
have my doubts. And before you start with you or oh,
it's a conspiracy theory, well what about all the conspiracy
theories you're diving into talking about this that the other thing.
Trump wasn't really shot, it was staged. Come on now,
if it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander, right.
(14:24):
I would caution folks to really take a moment and
step back. I don't think casting blame at this moment
helps our democracy or helps anyone. I think we should
let the investigators do their job. Were you saying the
same thing during the Whitmer situation. No, you weren't. Of
course you weren't. It was everybody's fault, right, everybody who
voted for Trump, it's their fault. But now well we
should take a step back. Sorry, somebody tried to assassinate
(14:47):
a former president. People aren't going to take a step back.
People aren't going to give it time. People want answers,
And there was obviously a failure with the Secret Service.
We're going to get to that later. But to try
and act like there wasn't a build up of rhetoric here,
like people haven't been saying crazy shit for years and
years and years, Well, that's just straight up bs, and
(15:08):
anybody pitching that narrative is a liar. Senator Mike Lee
called for Biden to immediately order prosecutors to drop the
criminal charges against Trump in two federal cases of election
fraud and withholding classified documents. Judge Eileen Cannon, a Trump appointee,
recently dismissed the latter case and a controversial ruling deemed
as partisan by Democrats and legal experts. Yeah, read the documents.
(15:31):
If it's not constitutional, it's not constitutional. And I know
a lot of the people out there haven't even bothered
to read the documents. They're just going on what they've heard,
what their best friends in the media have told them. Well,
unlike everybody else, I read the documents. And not only
do I read them, I share the documents with you,
so that way everybody's hip to what's going on. And
(15:52):
what else is hilarious is you have all these people
out here at matt at Judge Cannon. How about a
little bit of that righteous anger focused on the judges
who let Epstein walk. We're not going to talk about that, though,
are we Only convenient when you think you're going to
score Epstein points? Only convenient when Ted lou thinks he
can connect Donald Trump. It seems repeatedly that her rhetoric
(16:13):
is to support Donald Trump, not the rule of law.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Said Plaskett.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Well, that's funny.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
It seems like all of.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Your rhetoric was to support Jeffrey Epstein and help them
try and get those sex offender laws changed. Good old
Stacy Plaskett living on that Ivory Tower talking down to
everybody else. Meanwhile, she has a pocket full of Jeffrey
Epstein's money, and not a word of that in this article,
not one single word.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
So how can we take you seriously?
Speaker 1 (16:35):
You're a journalist, Grio, and you don't even ask about
the fact that she's being sued by Epstein's survivors. You
just let her rant about all this nonsense. Don't even
challenge anything she's talking about.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Okay. As for the call to drop charges.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Against Trump, the congress woman told the Grio, I don't
see what one has to do with the other. She
added that it was a ludicrous notion to suggest the
judicial process stops because of a lone gunman. Well, look,
I agree, right, if there is evidence that Trump did
something wrong, then you have to go after him. But
if it's just a witch hunt, well it's not gonna
work out for you. Well at the end, and it
looks like a lot of these cases that have been
(17:09):
brought against Trump, well they're not working out so well,
are they. You're gonna blame the judges in every single instance.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Guess what.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
At some point you have to start looking in the
mirror and start looking at your representatives that you voted for,
who have been lying to you all these years. And
I know people don't like their worldview shattered, but folks,
guess what, Sometimes life gets in the way. And as
far as this being a lone gunman, we don't know
that yet. How's she going to be out here popping
(17:36):
off like that? We don't know the whole story We've
got to follow the judicial process and the rules of law,
she urged. When asked how the Trump shooting will change,
if at all, how Democrats campaign against Trump and the
Republican Party, Plasket noted that she and her colleagues will
keep the focus on the key national policies like gun control,
which she noted Republicans have refused to join Democrats in
addressing gun control. That's always the same thing, right, gun control,
(18:00):
gun control, gun control, No talk about mental health. Every
single one of these people that goes on a shooting
spree is fucking crazy, okay, batshit crazy, But we don't
want to talk about that, right. Not divisive enough. Remember,
it's all about how divisive they can be. And for
these people like Stacy Plaskett to get out there and
point their fingers at the other side when they're one
(18:21):
of the most divisive people in Congress, it's wild to me.
Republican policies have unfortunately caused another death and individuals who
have been injured, She said of Saturday shooting. We're going
to talk about President Biden in forcing that through the
policies that he had.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
This is what she has to say.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
This is your congresswoman Stacy Plaskett. This is what she
thinks about the other side. She thinks everybody who votes
Trump stupid. She thinks everybody who doesn't think like her dumb,
and she thinks she can control everybody's lives. Well, guess what,
Jeffrey Epstein's pal, Stacey Plaskett, the buck stops here. All
these other grifters that cover Jeffrey Epstein or make pretend
they cover Jeffrey Epstein just to get that bag. By
(18:58):
the way, they might be ignoring Stacy Plaskett because it
doesn't fit their democratic narrative. But guess what, not here,
Stacy Plaskett, You're on the clock. Plaskett continued, We're going
to continue to go after Trump for his rhetoric as
well as his damning policies on our democracy, whether that
be Trump's Project twenty twenty five, the things that he
says at rallies, and his record as a former president.
(19:22):
What about your record as a sitting congresswoman. What about
your record as somebody who was deeply involved with Jeffrey Epstein.
And I'll tell you what, I'm more than willing to
listen to everything you have to say about Trump. After
you answer questions about Jeffrey Epstein and why you took
money from him, why you played ball with him, and
why you asked him to help you advance your political career.
(19:42):
Until you answer these questions and answer them honestly, nobody
cares what you have to say, Stacey Plaskett. So here's
an idea. Instead of sitting around and trying to make
yourself famous on the national stage, worry about the USVII,
worry about what's going on down there, and worry about
the fact that the whole entire government that you were
part of was in the bag for Jeffrey Epstein. All
(20:03):
of the information that goes with this episode can be
found in the description box. What's up, everyone, and welcome
back to the Epstein Chronicles. Today we're gonna spin down
to the US Virgin Islands and get an update on
what's going on down there with the survivor's lawsuit that
they filed against the US Virgin Islands and various politicians
(20:24):
from the territory, and of course, leading the charge coming
out against the lawsuit is none other than Stacy Plasket.
And it's hilarious to me because the USVII, for how
many years have they tried to tell you that they're
the heroes here and everything they're doing is all about justice. Meanwhile,
that couldn't be further from the truth. It's never been
(20:45):
about justice down in the USVII. It's about covering their
ass and getting a few bucks in return. And Stacey Plaskett,
she's among the worst. In my opinion. This lady's up
here taking a bunch of dough from Epstein, saying she's
not gonna give it, and then acting audacious when she's
named in a lawsuit. I'd like to remind Stacy Plaskett,
(21:06):
like she told everybody during January sixth, nobody is above
the law, and that includes you. Today's article is from
the Saint Thomas Source and the headline Plasket joins calls
for frivolous New York Epstein lawsuit to be dismissed.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
This article was.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Authored by c and Cobb, Delegate to Congress. Stacy Plaskett
is the latest Virgin Islands official calling for a class
action lawsuit brought by six Jeffrey Epstein victims you mean
survivors against the VI government to be dismissed, saying in
a court filing on Thursday that the complaint is legally
and factually frivolous and was filed with no apparent justification. Oh,
(21:48):
there's plenty of justification here. How about the fact that
all of your politicians, pretty much during the time that
Epstein was active, were receiving some sort of benefit from him.
That might necessitate a deeper look. No, then again, I
guess down in the Virgin Islands, it's all gully. The suit,
filed in late November in Manhattan Federal Court by Jane
(22:09):
Does one through five and amended in December to add
an additional plaintiff, accuses the VI government of a sprawling
conspiracy to aid Epstein's sex trafficking scheme. And I've pointed
this out from the beginning. They can argue all they
want that they weren't involved, They're not going to be
able to prove that because the evidence is certainly in
(22:30):
the other direction. And that's why I told you they
were opening up at can of worms when they decided
they were going to sue JP Morgan. It was bad
enough suing the estate, but suing JP Morgan. I knew
they were going to end up in the position that
they're in now. And this is what happens when you're greedy,
the wealthy financier you mean pedophile who became a registered
(22:51):
sex offender after pleading guilty to procuring a minor for
prostitution in Florida in two thousand and eight in a
controversial plea agreement by apparent suicide in August twenty nineteen,
while detained in New York on federal human trafficking charges.
His primary residence was Little Saint James, his private island
off Saint Thomas, where for years he ran a complex
(23:14):
web of shell companies registered in the USVII that enabled
his crimes. So how did he get all of those
shell companies set up? Did he just show up down
there and set them up himself or were there people
in the government bureaucrats like Stacy Plaskett who helped them
along the way. You don't have to be a genius
to figure this one out, folks. But then again, maybe
(23:36):
the media is just too busy fawning over Joe Mensha
and his buddy Bill Clinton. You know, Jeffrey Epstein's best
friend at their little gala the other night. Imagine that Ludacris. Shit,
what sort of person in the right mind is gonna
trot out Bill Clinton and think it's a good idea.
But I guess if you're Joe Biden, you could do
whatever you want and nobody's gonna hold you accountable. Huh, Well,
(23:59):
that shit stops here. The party's over for Joe Biden,
for anybody who's hanging out with Epstein's enablers. How many
times do we have to go through this? And it's
damning that basically the whole entire left has just abandoned
all of Epstein's survivors at this point. Oh yeah, Bill Clinton,
what a great guy. Let's go win an election. It's
(24:19):
not only hypocritical, it's straight up embarrassing. And if you're
a part of that, and you're somebody who thinks or
says that they care about Epstein survivors, you should probably
reevaluate your support of somebody like Bill Clinton. Along with Plaskett,
the suit names former Governor John Dejeong, former First Lady
Cecile DeJong, former Governor Kenneth Mapp, former Attorney General Vincent Fraser,
(24:43):
former Senator Celestino White, vi Port Authority Director Carlton Doe
in his role as a then senator, and John Doe's
one through one hundred, who are variously described as USVII
air traffic controllers, USVII airport baggage check agents, you, USVI
Coastguard agents, and USVII police officers, all people who know
(25:05):
what the deal is and all people who should have
been able to step in and stop this bullshit. When
you have people at the airport that are more hip
to what's going on allegedly than the law enforcement officials
on the island, what does that tell you Either A
they are absolutely inept and shouldn't have those jobs, or
(25:26):
B they're looking the other way. I'm gonna go with
option B. Alex Plaskett, who is represented by Eric B.
Breslin of Dwayne Morris LLP, filed her twenty four page
response by the Thursday deadline imposed by Judge Aroun sub Romanian.
The plaintiffs who have been granted permission to proceed anonymously
(25:48):
as Jane does one through six given the sensitive nature
of sexual abuse cases, are represented by attorneys with Merson
Law PLLLC of New York. Those complaint leans heavily on
information uncovered through the depositions and discovery by both sides
in the VI government's lawsuit. Against JP Morgan Chase, Epstein's
(26:10):
banker from about nineteen ninety nine until twenty thirteen. That
was settled in September for seventy five million. So again,
this all goes back to their greed. They have to
profit off of Epstein's bullshit on both ends. Not only
do they profit on Epstein's criminality, now, they're profiting when
they're going after a conviction or going after a civil case.
(26:33):
The only outcome here was the USVII getting sued by
the survivors at some point, just like the FBI is
getting sued now. In fact, the complaint states that it
was not until the VI government sued the bank and
territory officials were deposed as part of that case that
the plaintiffs in public learned of the many acts committed
(26:53):
by defendants which contributed to and caused plaintiffs injuries, which
is sort of true, I guess. But we've known about
this for how long? How long have we talked about it?
Go back and look at the catalog. We've been talking
about the USVII and their bullshit for years. All of
this deposition stuff in court documents. What it does, It
provides receipts, but when you talk to enough people who
(27:16):
have been around this, enough people down in the USVII,
enough people on the inside, you can put together the
whole entire map for yourself. Then you get these receipts,
and what that does. It just solidifies everything. Both Cecial
DeJong and John DeJong have filed motions to dismiss the lawsuit,
as has the VI Justice Department, which is representing map In.
(27:38):
Fraser White and Dow have both requested more time to
answer the complaint until they secure New York attorneys. The
plaintiffs then have until April eleventh to file an omnibus
opposition to all the outstanding motions. Central to the motions
to dismiss is whether the District Court for the Southern
District of New York even as jurisdiction to hear the case,
(28:00):
and whether it is the proper venue given the alleged
crimes occurred in the US Virgin Islands. Already relying on
loopholes and technicalities, tells you and shows you everything you
need to know of folks. While Epstein owned the mansion
and other properties in New York and the plaintiffs all
live there, all the defendants are residents of the USVII
(28:21):
and add little to no interaction with them in that state,
let alone business dealings according to court filings. They want
to stack the court. They want it down here in
the USVII, where they can manage things, where they can
massage things. Plaskett sat in her response that she was
horrified when she learned of Epstein's conduct after his arrest
(28:42):
in August of twenty nineteen, and that attempts to link
her to his crimes because she solicited political donations from
him during a visit to his Manhattan mansion and because
she was the general counsel for the VI Economic Development
Authority when he was awarded lucrative tax breaks is nothing
more than wild speculation stated in conclusory form, which is
(29:02):
an absolute joke. How did he get those tax benefits
when you were the Economic Development Authority boss? Just happened overnight,
and then you get a bunch of money from him
for political donations. Yeah, there's nothing to see here. If
her name was alex Acosta, though, forget it, we'd have
ten Julie K. Brown articles out. But now, considering what's
(29:24):
going on here with plasket Bill Clinton being trotted out,
it's interesting that you don't see any criticism of that
from the legacy media.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Right.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I wonder why it couldn't be that they're protecting their faves,
could it. It appears that plaintiffs only named Congresswoman Plasket
in this case is because she is a high profile
Virgin Island's politician, presumably raising the profile of their complaint.
Plaintiffs have no basis to suggest there was a nexus
between the Congresswoman Plasket and Epstein's crimes, according to the
(29:55):
memorandum of law filed in support of hermotion to dismiss.
While that might be true, she enabled it. That's right,
I said it. She enabled it. Prove me wrong, show
up with some receipts and prove me wrong. And if
you can't do that, kindly shut the fuck up and
head to the back of the classroom because your opinion
and your nonsense is not needed. The scandalous and reprehensible
(30:19):
nature of the allegations serve only to tarnish the congress
woman's hard won good name and reputation. Hard won good
name and reputation. How did she earn that by trashing
people's lives, by going after people and calling them terrorists?
Give me a break. Already with Stacy Plaskett, and frankly,
(30:39):
anyone who supports her or Bill Clinton, you're probably not
going to enjoy the content on this podcast moving forward,
because I have had my fill of the hypocrisy, and
I have had my fill of the ruling party and
their refusal to step in and do anything about these
people who are involved with Epstein. When Trump was president,
all we heard was accountability, this accountability that now that
(31:02):
Biden's running around, bring in Bill Richardson into the fold,
Bring in Bill Clinton back into the fold. Miss Stacy
Plasket over here, get a bunch of dough from Reid Hoffman,
his head of the CIA, having meetings and lunches with
Jeffrey Epstein. But no accountability, no articles about that, right,
And these people out here are these progressives who are
(31:23):
trying to weaponize this talk about a boomerang effect, that
shit's gonna come back and smash you directly in the face.
Plaintiffs do not allege any fact sufficient to infer that
Congresswoman Plasket ever had reason to know of Epstein's trafficking,
much less that she agreed to join in his operation.
Oh no, she had no idea, had the plaintiffs done
(31:44):
any research. So calling the survivors a liar, that's nice,
considering I thought that the USVII was, you know, the
hero in the story. They would realize that as General
Counsel for the EDA, a job she held from two
thousand and seven to twenty twelve, Plasket was not involved
decisions regarding who received tax benefits. According to the memorandum,
(32:04):
by statute that was the purview of the CEO and
Chairman of the Economic Development Commission, with the final approval
by the Governor. It says, you mean the governor who
is in Epstein's pocket. This is nothing more than a
bunch of word salad, and frankly, it's embarrassing and it's
disrespectful to the survivors. As for the thirty thousand dollars
(32:28):
in political donations the complaint alleges Plasket received from Epstein
and his associates, the money was never paid because the
Democratic National Committee declined to accept it. The memorandum states
not only that, but a brief visit to discuss campaign
contributions that never materialized does not amount to transacting business
in New York. It says, what she's looking for is
(32:49):
plausible deniability, and I'm not giving it to her. We
didn't give it to alex Acosta, and we're certainly not
giving it to Stacey Plaskett. And anybody who does that
just means that you're not serious about what's going on here,
and you're certainly not serious about justice. Moreover, it's not
clear from the lawsuit how plaskets alleged meetings with Epstein
a rose from a sex trafficking scheme. They are simply
(33:12):
more of plaintiffs scattershot attempts to implicate this congresswoman at
any cost without regard for logic, law, or facts. According
to the memorandum. Now, remember the USVII has already collected
what close to two hundred million dollars. They talked about justice.
This at the other thing. Now, this is just a
scattershot attempt by the survivors. And I could see all
(33:33):
those good little soldiers out there that can't go against
their faiths, who are sweating right now trying to figure
out how they're going to come to terms with this. Well,
guess what, there is no middle of the road here.
It's either you support the survivors and justice or you don't.
And anybody that's hanging out with Bill Clinton or defending
Stacy Plaskett well breaking news. They don't care about justice.
(33:55):
The amended complaint provides no plausible explanation as to why
she should have known of the sex trafficking, how she
should have learned of it, or what age she is
alleged to have provided it, says Plasket. Also argues that
the Trafficking Victims Protection Act claims alleged by the plaintiffs
are barred by the ten year statue of limitations, so
(34:16):
any that occurred prior to November twenty second, twenty thirteen
should be dismissed. Given that the lawsuit was filed on
November twenty second, twenty twenty three. Can you imagine this
is what Stacey Plaskett, your hero, has to say about
the survivors. The plaintiffs have alleged violations of the TVPA
and conspiracy to violate the TVPA from two thousand and
(34:37):
one to twenty nineteen, while Jane Doe four and Jane
Do five alleged injuries that accrued between two thousand and
one and two thousand and nine, and Jane Doe six
in two thousand and four, in effect bootstrapping their expired
claims to timely claims. The memorandum states, Oh, you might
have been abused, but the time statutes have run out,
and you know down here in the Virgin Islands, we
(34:59):
didn't investigate sh anyway, so what does it matter. Additionally,
the complaint should be dismissed because it improperly relies on
a group pleading, making it impossible to determine what congress
Woman Plasket is said to have done. Plaintiffs cannot simply
lump defendants together for pleting purposes, it says, citing case law,
Nearly every allegation in the amended complaint relies on the
(35:21):
defendants or some other group Moniker. It's impossible to determine
what facts underpin the allegations against congress Woman Plasket, likely
there are none, like the other defendants. Plasket also questions
why a suit against the VI government names the john
does variously described as air traffic controllers, end customs baggage
(35:42):
check and Coastguard agents as employees of the USVII when
those are federal government operations or the purview of private companies.
The allegations border on nonsensical. The memorandum states, you know
what's nonsensical, the way the US Virgin Islands conducted itself
for all these years, the way they can continued to
profit off of Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking. And what's even
(36:04):
more ridiculous is the fact that a large number of
people still won't hold them accountable. None of these threadbaars,
sometimes demonstrably untrue allegations, establishes any nexus between Congresswoman Plasket
and Epstein's crimes, or even that she had reason to
know of his crimes. Plaintiff fails to allege that the
congresswoman did anything wrong or improper at all. The allegations
(36:28):
are speculative, slanderous, and have no good faith basis, and
the complaint should be dismissed. According to the memorandum, all
discovery in the case has been stayed pending an initial
pre trial conference set for May third. So for all
those people who tried to tell me that the USVII
was the good guy here, well can you hear me now?
If not, let me tell you again the USVII, Stacy Plasket,
(36:52):
all these scumbags they don't care. Oh they'll tell you
they care, but their actions tell us something different. And
Stacy Plaskett is certainly no different than any of these
other dirt bags that help enable and propagate Jeffrey Epstein
throughout the years. All right, folks, well that's gonna do
it for this one. Obviously, we're gonna keep an eye
on this and see where it all goes. But the
(37:12):
whole entire narrative from the USVII and Stacy Plaskett and
the people defending her, the whole narrative is garbage. And
once it gets into a courtroom, if it gets that far,
I think that a jury will see that. So we'll
see where it all goes. And like I said, we'll
keep an eye on things, and when we have some
more information, we'll get it added to the catalog. All
of the information that goes with this episode can be
(37:35):
found in the description box.
