The FBI Knew Full Well What Epstein Was And Chose To Remain On The Sidelines

Reports and lawsuits over the years have alleged that the FBI had detailed knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein’s activities long before his 2008 conviction and still failed to intervene in any meaningful way. According to these accounts, multiple victims and witnesses claimed they provided information to federal authorities about Epstein’s recruitment methods, trafficking network, and the involvement of high-profile associates. Despite this, investigators are accused of slow-walking inquiries, minimizing leads, and ultimately allowing Epstein to operate with impunity for years. The allegations suggest that the bureau possessed far more insight into the scope of his crimes than was ever acted upon, raising serious questions about institutional failures—or worse, deliberate inaction.

Critics argue that the FBI’s handling of the case reflects a broader pattern in which powerful offenders receive deferential treatment, shielding them from consequences that would be unavoidable for ordinary citizens. The controversial 2008 non-prosecution agreement, which shut down a sprawling federal investigation in exchange for a lenient state plea deal, has become central to these allegations, with claims that the bureau either cooperated with or failed to challenge a deal that protected Epstein and his unnamed co-conspirators. The result, according to victims’ attorneys and watchdog groups, is a portrait of an agency that had the information, had the authority, and still allowed a predator to continue harming minors for years after it should have stopped him.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
The FBI had the information they needed to arrest Jeffrey
Epstein more than a decade ago, and they didn't act
on it. They let him do what he did. He
continued on his path of destruction and he ruined countless lives.

(00:20):
Yet the FBI had everything they needed and didn't make
their move. So again, the question is, why was the
FBI so gung ho I'm protecting Jeffrey Epstein. What was
he giving them? What sort of information was he pumping
them that they deemed so worthwhile that they were willing
to look the other way as he engaged in sex trafficking.

(00:42):
Well that's the question we've all been trying to get to,
isn't it. And obviously I have a few opinions, But
today we're going to dive into an article from Lawn
Crime and it's going to talk about that very thing,
how the FBI had the dirt on the whole network,
the whole entire criminal enterprise, and they let them off

(01:04):
the hook. This article is from lawng Crime headline FBI
had dirt that could have unraveled Jeffrey Epstein's entire network
more than a decade ago. This article was authored by
Colin Komboker and it was originally published on February twentieth
of twenty twenty. The Federal Bureau of Investigation had dirt

(01:27):
on Jeffrey Epstein more than a decade ago, but he
was bailed out by federal prosecutors in Florida before authorities
had the chance to act on that information. So again
we come back to Florida. It's inescapable. Florida is a
huge problem when we're talking about Jeffrey Epstein and what
went on in Palm Beach is legitimately one of the

(01:50):
biggest travesties when it comes to injustices that I have
ever seen, and we continue to see Palm Beach be
an absolute shit show. Is anyone ever going to demand
that the people who run Palm Beach are not corrupt?
Because it sure seems to me that from judges to
prosecutors to everyone in between, there is a ton of

(02:11):
corruption in Palm Beach. According to ABC News, Epstein recruited
a fourteen year old to give a massages in his
Upper east Side mansion in two thousand and two. The
woman claims that Epstein gradually came to sexually abuse her.
The dead pedophile's assistance allegedly scheduled several appointments with the girl,

(02:32):
who accepted cash from the elite predator because her family
was suffering through poverty. Huh, we've heard that story before,
haven't we? Gleanne Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein, this was their go
to move right, Fine girls from broken homes, vulnerable girls,
girls that don't have money, and then entice them with
a little bit of cash. The woman's identity is currently

(02:56):
being shrouded out of respect for privacy, but she was
identified in twenty nineteen by the Southern District of New
York in Epstein's indictment as minor victim number one. Spencer coven,
an attorney who represented three Epstein survivors, told ABC the
FBI could have unraveled the entire network from New York

(03:16):
to Paris to New Mexico, and they didn't. And again,
my question has to be why didn't they? Why were
they so interested in letting Jeffrey Epstein continue with this bullshit?
What did the FBI have to gain from it? Well,
I'll tell you what. Society had nothing to gain from it,
and the survivor certainly had nothing to gain from it.

(03:37):
So what exactly was the FBI getting here that was
so indisposable that they had to continue to protect somebody
like Jeffrey Epstein. In Er about two thousand and two,
Minor Victim number one was recruited to engage in sex
acts with Epstein and was repeatedly sexually abused by Epstein
at the New York residence over a period of years,

(04:00):
and was paid hundreds of dollars for each encounter. The
SDNY filing notes Epstein also encouraged and enticed Minor Victim
number one to recruit other girls to engage in paid
sex acts, which she did. Epstein asked Minor number one
how old she was, and Minor Victim number one answered truthfully.
So we know that Epstein wanted these girls as young

(04:23):
as possible, and when the girls were going in to
meet Epstein, we also know that they were told to
lie about their age that way to give him another
level of protection. What they were trying to do is
insulate themselves the same way a mafia boss does to
insulate themselves from the ground level crimes. That's exactly what
Epstein was trying to do here. The man whose child

(04:46):
sex abuse empire was allegedly enjoyed by several of the
world's most powerful, most popular, and powerful men in art, politics,
and finance, was of course, pronounced dead by suicide in
August of twenty nineteen under extremely suspicious circumstances, soon after
being apprehended by New York authorities, just as it seems,

(05:07):
had eluded his dozens of survivors for the final time.
And now, remember this is law and crime, Okay, not
exactly what you would call a conspiratorial website talking about
how suspicious the circumstances around Jeffrey Epstein's death was and are,
and they will remain to be so until we get
some real information one way or the other. The woman, however,

(05:30):
recently filed a lawsuit against Epstein's estate, which offers several
details about her abuse and exploitation. Her experience with Epstein
fit within what it is now known to have been
a common pattern for the abuser. The lawsuit reads, he
would find vulnerable young girls who needed money and slowly
test their boundaries, first asking them to remove their own

(05:52):
clothes and massage him, and then over time he would
escalate his conduct, touching them in ways that would become
more invasive, violent and painful. As these children grew to
rely financially on Epstein, he would only cause them more
and more harm. As you got deeper into his web,
his claws were sunk deeper into you. And I don't

(06:15):
think people really appreciate the mindwash that is going on
while you're here with all of these people who are
telling you this is the way to live your life.
The lawsuit continues on a personal note, she never received
a high school education. She suffers from post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety,
and depression. Her severe emotional injuries manifest in a myriad

(06:38):
of ways. She often finds herself crying. She is unable
to form healthy emotional relationships with men. She often cannot
sleep through the night or fall asleep at all. She
has panic attacks, and she is constantly afraid for her
young daughter, all because of the abuse suffered by Jeffrey
Epstein and Glaine Maxwell and the FBI could have stopped it.

(06:59):
Keep that in mind, and that's why I'm driving this
point home, because guess what, folks, it's not just a
pile on. We have to hold them accountable, meaning the
FBI and the Department of Justice if we don't want
this thing to ever happen again. ABC News notes that
the woman was scheduled to testify before a grand jury

(07:19):
during the summer of two thousand and eight. As the
date drew near, Epstein's scheduled a hearing and entered his
guilty plea, mysteriously securing unheard of preferential treatment from local
law enforcement and federal authorities alike. The woman's testimony was
abruptly canceled. Now, remember, we had all of these women
who were abused by Epstein, and only one woman gave

(07:41):
her testimony to the grand jury, one girl. FBI agents
who had interviewed her earlier that year were left with
legally useless information about an avowed and wealthy pedophile with
friends in the highest places of several governments. Marie Villafauna
is the one time in Florida federal prosecutor who oversaw

(08:02):
the US Attorney's office initial investigation of Epstein, the same
investigation that was ultimately shut down by then US Attorney
for the Southern District of Florida Alex Acosta and his
bosses as he reacted to pressure from those close to
the intelligence community to give the well connected pedophile, a
sweetheart deal and a slap on the wrist. Folks, this

(08:23):
is long crime talking about this, okay, telling you that
he was close to the intelligence community, telling you that
he got a slap on the wrist for that reason.
So again, here I show up with receipts. I'm not
just going to get here and pump your tires and
tell you all kinds of fantastical shit. If we want
to talk about fantasy worlds, we'll talk about West Roast

(08:45):
and House of the Dragon. When we're talking about Epstein, oh,
believe me when I tell you we are grounded directly
in reality. Her attorney, ty Kelly, issued the following statement
on her behalf. Because the Department of Justice has declined
to wave privilege over the Epstein matter, Miss Villafana is
prohibited from discussing this matter and her opinions on the

(09:06):
outcome in greater detail. If the Department were to waive
that privilege, she believes it would provide a fuller and
more accurate picture of how she handled this matter and
how she advocated for survivors. At every turn, it's always
the government is not releasing information. Right. How many times
do we have to shine a spotlight on this. Are

(09:27):
you paying attention yet to what they're doing and how
they're doing it. They're the ones pitching conspiracy theories, folks,
So you want to talk about misinformation, might as well
just take a look at the government and look at
them as Bagdad Bob when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein,
because that's what they are. Nah, there's no Americans in
this city as five million tanks come rolling down Bagdad Boulevard.

(09:51):
The former prosecutor's words, however, are likely to ring somewhat
hollow in light of the known historical record as law
and crime previously reported. Villafana was reprimanded by a federal
judge in two thousand and seven for an intentional and
or serious lapse in judgment because she held back information
in another sex crimes case that also included an underage

(10:14):
female survivor. And this is why when people try and
tell me about how Villa Fauna was a champion here,
I just laugh at them. It is absolutely absurd to
try and say that anyone in Florida who was involved
in this prosecution did the right thing. And the FBI
they should be ashamed of themselves as well. They had

(10:34):
this information. Maria and Nannie Farmer gave it to him.
Many people gave it to them, and they didn't act
on it. And then when they do act on it,
all they do is give us the low hanging fruit
that is Glain Maxwell and expect us to be happy
about it. What about the co conspirators? What about the
other people involved? Here's an idea, less podcasts from the
CIA and the FBI, and more work on Jeffrey Epstein's associates.
