Transcription

Chapter 1: What is Donald Trump's recent court filing about the Epstein Transparency Act?

0.031 - 25.701 Ben Meiselas

Donald Trump's dark past is surfacing and he is losing it. Trump's DOJ filed a late night motion with a federal judge arguing that the Epstein Transparency Act cannot be enforced by federal courts. That no judge at all has the power to do anything regarding the Epstein Transparency Act.

25.681 - 48.178 Ben Meiselas

the trump doj argues that congress never put in a private cause of action to request that judges do anything at all therefore the doj argues it doesn't have to comply with the act and it can keep the cover up going they put this in plain writing last night okay

48.158 - 73.221 Ben Meiselas

and they say they don't want to have any independent monitor review or look at the epstein transparency act nor can a judge ever compel it so just to remind you remember democratic congress member ro khanna and republican congress member thomas massey they're the ones who put forward that discharge petition which led to the passage of the epstein transparency act

Chapter 2: How does the DOJ argue against the enforcement of the Epstein Transparency Act?

73.201 - 99.095 Ben Meiselas

Now that the December 19th deadline has passed and the Trump regime is now engaged in a criminal cover up of a underage sex trafficking ring, while the DOJ is involved in that cover up because they have not complied with the December 19th deadline, as well as the 15 day thereafter deadline of submitting a report to Congress regarding the redactions that were made.

99.536 - 122.298 Ben Meiselas

Remember what Khanna and Massey very smartly did. They went to the federal courts that have been involved in the Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell case, and they asked for the appointment of a special master, sometimes referred to as an independent monitor, to handle the production of the Epstein files, to make it public.

0

Chapter 3: What actions did Representatives Khanna and Massey take regarding the Epstein case?

122.318 - 143.347 Ben Meiselas

And what Massey and Khanna argued is that the DOJ is engaged in criminal conduct and they can't be trusted anymore to release the Epstein files. So Judge Can you please order that there be an independent monitor? The Trump regime continues to re-traumatize the victims. They're not producing the records.

0

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the DOJ's claims about federal court authority?

143.768 - 169.549 Ben Meiselas

Something must be done immediately. So you remember we covered the filing Massey. and Khanna. They filed something called an amicus brief. They introduced themselves as what's called, it's a Latin term, amici, meaning friend of the court, where they're not saying they wanted to formally intervene in the case per se, because the case is USA versus Ghislaine Maxwell.

0

Chapter 5: Why did the DOJ fail to comply with the December 19th deadline?

169.589 - 194.971 Ben Meiselas

The judge is Judge Engelmeyer, and they recognize that they're not parties to the case, But they said, look, as friends of the court, we're submitting this brief to inform you that criminal conduct has been committed before this court. Also, Judge, you should know that the Trump DOJ, they are blaming you and this court for their delay. They say it's the court's fault.

0

194.991 - 198.838 Ben Meiselas

So we also want to let you know, Judge, they're defaming you.

0

Chapter 6: What does the amicus brief filed by Khanna and Massey reveal?

198.818 - 219.852 Ben Meiselas

In their criminal conspiracy, they're defaming you by saying you're the reason that this is delayed. By the way, they promised you, Judge, that they were going to make these records and documents public and available pursuant to the Epstein Transparency Act. They lied to you. And now we need some independent process.

0

219.872 - 224.86 Ben Meiselas

So we're just making a recommendation because they can't be parties to the case because the case, again, is

0

Chapter 7: How is the DOJ handling the release of Epstein-related documents?

224.84 - 251.37 Ben Meiselas

USA versus Ghislaine, except now with this new DOJ that's involved in the coverup of the child sex trafficking, the DOJ and Ghislaine are essentially on the same side. So it's not even an adversarial system anymore. So that's why you have Khanna and Massey stepping in and saying, judge, independent monitor. So what happened was the Trump regime, the DOJ, late on Friday announced

251.35 - 252.652 Ben Meiselas

Midas Touch was one of the first.

Chapter 8: What are the potential consequences of the DOJ's redaction process?

252.672 - 274.185 Ben Meiselas

We were the first to break this story. You have the DOJ filing right here. Let's pull it up. And they say, we don't want an independent monitor. Massey and Khanna don't have standing to even make the request as amici, file an amicus brief. And judge, no court has authority to get involved in this at all.

0

274.165 - 300.802 Ben Meiselas

Let me take those in reverse order because I think the most significant and stunning admission by this DOJ is their claim that courts have no authority in this matter at all. So let's go right here to page four of six right here, and here's what it says. There's a section that says, respectfully, the government submits that the court lacks the authority to enter the requested relief.

0

301.363 - 329.974 Ben Meiselas

When the Constitution or laws of the United States do not support a cause of action, a federal court cannot reach out to award remedies. Then they go on to say a plaintiff must have a cause of action under the applicable statute. To get any form of legal relief in the federal courtroom, a litigant must have a cause of action. The Epstein Transparency Act does not provide a cause of action.

0

329.954 - 354.46 Ben Meiselas

Because the statute, the Transparency Act, does not evince Congress's intent to create a private cause of action asserted, this court may not create that action through judicial mandate. If the statute itself does not provide a private cause of action, a private cause of action will not be created through a judicial mandate.

0

354.44 - 379.112 Ben Meiselas

So what the DOJ is arguing is that Congress created the Epstein Transparency Act, but did not want it to be enforceable. That's what a ridiculous position the DOJ is taking. Congress created it, passed it in the Senate unanimously, in the House there was only one no vote. And what they're saying is no one wanted to even enforce this thing.

379.172 - 406.097 Ben Meiselas

So judge, there's nothing that you can do about this at all. I just wanna say this, the fact that Khanna and Massey were able to smoke out the DOJ, that that was their position all along, to me makes their amicus request, their amici brief, so meaningful because they're showing the dastardly coverup that's taking place. And by the way, take a look at who has signed

406.077 - 425.183 Ben Meiselas

this brief on behalf of the DOJ. You have Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, Todd Blanch, the Deputy AG, and Jay Clayton, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, the top United States Attorney in the Southern District, the number one person in that position.

425.163 - 451.103 Ben Meiselas

I find it fascinating as somebody who previously was a litigator in federal court, that there's not a single deputy from SDNY who signed their name. There's no Deputy United States Attorney, AUSA Assistant United States Attorney. There's no rank and file prosecutors. It's just literally the top people who are involved in this coverup. It's Bondi, it's Blanche, it's Clayton.

451.083 - 466.527 Ben Meiselas

Where are all the other like associate level people, which we call AUSAs, Assistant United States Attorneys. It's so notable to me that they haven't signed their name to this at all. More on that in a moment, and I'm gonna go and show you why I think it's very notable.
