Podcast appearances and mentions of Ghislaine Maxwell

Epstein revelations continue. New files reveal that the notorious sex offender had closer relationships than previously known with Trump's inner circle, including Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. Ghislaine Maxwell pleads the Fifth to Congress, while her lawyer says she's “prepared to speak fully and honestly” if Trump agrees to let her out of prison. While Jon, Tommy, and Lovett are overseas, Alex Wagner and Ben Rhodes discuss how the files are rattling politicians around the world, and why consequences have been more severe abroad than in the U.S. There's also the fight to put limits on ICE playing out in the courts and Congress, Trump's scheme to celebrate America's 250th birthday with a fresh grift, and why RFK Jr. can't be trusted with the Super Bowl snacks.

Members of Congress in Washington DC can now view the millions of documents from the investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein files, without the extensive redactions made by the Justice Department. According to a letter sent to lawmakers they can take notes of the documents, but not make electronic copies. Also: lawyers for Ghislaine Maxwell, the imprisoned accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein, say she will speak fully and honestly about her relationship with the late sex offender, but only if President Trump grants her clemency. The British prime minister, Keir Starmer, has told his MPs that he will not quit after the leader of his party in Scotland called on him to resign. A lawyer at a landmark trial in California has accused the technology giants, Meta and Google, of deliberately making their platforms addictive to children. Australia's prime minister has defended a visit by the Israeli president, after clashes in Sydney between police and pro-Palestinian demonstrators. Officials at the Winter Olympics in Italy are to investigate why medals keep breaking. The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

In August 2019, a plaintiff identified as "Lisa Doe" filed a lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein's estate, alleging that she was recruited at age 17 under the pretense of teaching a dance-based exercise class at Epstein's New York townhouse. According to the lawsuit, an associate of Epstein hired her for this role, but subsequent interactions led to Epstein soliciting massages from her. The suit claims that during these encounters, Epstein forcibly used a sex toy on her and ultimately pressured her to recruit other dancers from her studio for similar purposes.The lawsuit asserts that Epstein's actions were part of a broader pattern of abuse facilitated by a network of associates who helped recruit and control young women. Lisa Doe's allegations highlight the manipulative tactics Epstein allegedly employed, such as exploiting her aspirations in dance to lure her into abusive situations. This case is among several that have been filed against Epstein's estate, aiming to hold accountable those involved in his extensive trafficking operations and to seek justice for the survivors of his abuse.​to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Microsoft Word - 2019-08-20_LDoe_Complaint_for_filing (bwbx.io)

Nicolle Wallace covers the stark difference between how the UK's government has responded to the latest information uncovered by the Epstein files and how the US has responded. Where high-ranking officials in the UK are resigning in protest after ambassador to the US Peter Mandelson was found to be in the files, the United States government has largely remained mute after prominent names in the US government were found in the files. One name that popped up often – in more than 250 documents – is Howard Lutnick, the Trump administration's commerce secretary.Later, Glenn Thrush and Liz Oyer join Nicolle to cover the Department of Justice's new job requirements: loyalty to Donald Trump.For more, follow us on Instagram @deadlinewhTo listen to this show and other MS NOW podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

Welcome to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In this episode, Tom Bilyeu and co-host Drew dive into the wild swings shaking up the markets, from a massive selloff in sectors like gold, crypto, and AI to fears of recession and the ever-intriguing Fed policy news. They break down how rapidly advancing AI is upending both the software industry and investor expectations, and discuss whether the so-called “AI bubble” is finally popping. But it wouldn't be Impact Theory without a trip through Conspiracy Corner: Tom Bilyeu and Drew unpack the latest twists in the Epstein saga—including mysterious surveillance footage, questionable lottery wins, and strange activity on his Fortnite account—all while questioning the reliability of “official narratives.” With the Clintons preparing to testify publicly and Ghislaine Maxwell set to appear before Congress, they explore what true transparency might look like—and whether America is ready to confront the full scope of institutional corruption. Finally, special guest Nick Fuentes joins the conversation to share his take on political outrage, voter apathy, and the long-term impact of the Epstein files on American politics. The episode wraps up with a candid reflection on the state of the American dream and the importance of individual skills in an uncertain society. If you're ready for spirited debate, market insights, and a deep-dive into the rabbit hole of the week's biggest conspiracies, this is one episode you won't want to miss.

Today's Headlines: This weekend was a lot. The Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl, the Winter Olympics kicked off in Milan, and Vice President JD Vance managed to make himself the main character by getting booed at the opening ceremony and delaying U.S. figure skater Alysa Liu with his massive motorcade — after reportedly flying a plane full of food to Italy, of all places. Embarrassing, but not even close to the most serious news. The FBI has invited election officials from all 50 states to an unusual “election briefing” later this month, amid growing concerns about Trump's repeated calls to nationalize elections. At the same time, DHS has reportedly used administrative subpoenas to try to obtain user data on critics of the Trump administration, including people sharing information about ICE activity or emailing officials to oppose deportations. The Tulsi Gabbard saga also deepened, with new reporting revealing that she allegedly blocked the NSA from circulating a report about a suspicious phone call involving someone tied to foreign intelligence and a person close to Trump — a move that ultimately triggered the whistleblower complaint now under scrutiny. Meanwhile, fallout from the Epstein files continued, with multiple high-profile figures in the U.S. and Europe facing investigations, resignations, or calls to step aside. European governments in particular have moved quickly, launching probes into Epstein's ties to human trafficking, Russian intelligence, and elite institutions — while U.S. consequences remain scarce. Elsewhere, China announced a renewed crackdown on crypto trading loopholes, reports emerged that U.S. service members were pressured to attend screenings of a Melania Trump documentary, the Trump administration allegedly threatened to freeze $16 billion in infrastructure funding unless major transit hubs were renamed after the president, and New York City lawmakers overrode a veto to strengthen labor protections for Uber and Lyft drivers.  Resources/Articles mentioned in this episode: The Daily Beast: Vance's Lavish Motorcade Wreaks Havoc at Winter Olympics NBC News: FBI invites state election officials to an 'unusual' briefing on the midterms The Guardian: NSA detected foreign intelligence phone call about a person close to Trump | US national security Tech Crunch: Homeland Security is trying to force tech companies to hand over data about Trump critics CNN: LA Olympics chief faces calls to resign after flirty emails with Ghislaine Maxwell are revealed in Epstein files Bloomberg: World Economic Forum Opens Probe Into CEO Over Epstein Meetings X: US Ambassador to Poland Yahoo Finance: China Reiterates Crypto Ban While Cracking Down on Tokenized Assets and Yuan Stablecoins The Daily Beast: Military Pressured to See ‘Melania' Against Their Will Rolling Stone: 'Chaos': Behind the Scenes of Amazon's Melania Trump Doc NYT: Officials Pressed Schumer to Help Name Penn Station and Dulles Airport for Trump Gothamist: City Council puts limits on how often Uber, Lyft can boot drivers off their apps Morning Announcements is produced by Sami Sage and edited by Grace Hernandez-Johnson Learn more about your ad choices.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday we are welcomed back by podcast guest regular: Rape, trafficking, and abduction survivor, overcomer and warrior, devoted wife and loving mother, podcast host, content creator, author and blogger, singer and performer, vocal coach, entrepreneur, Epstein, Trump, and Ghislane Maxwell Recruit, beauty queen - past and present, and someone I've been honored to call a long-term dear friend, Molly Skye Brown. A little bit about Molly if you are new to her story, and what we will be discussing today.Born in the sun-soaked suburbs of California, Molly Skye Brown entered the world with a voice destined to echo far beyond her years. From a young age, she was a prodigy: an honor student, classically trained vocalist, and aspiring lawyer, with dreams as vast as the Atlantic horizon. But beneath this promising facade lurked early shadows of horror. At just nine years old, Molly endured a brutal rape, the first in a series of assaults that would test her resilience to its core. The first brush with the Epstein-Maxwell web came in 1992, when Molly was only 14 or 15, working at a local gym in Jupiter to earn a free membership. Dressed modestly in a sports bra and shorts after her shift, she caught the eye of Ghislaine Maxwell, who approached her with a business card and a predatory gleam. "You could easily pass for 18," Maxwell said, dangling offers of Victoria's Secret modeling gigs complete with international travel and massages. Trauma compounded in Molly's late teens and early twenties. Abducted and raped by a producer at an MTV event in 2000, she spiraled into depression, flunking out of school and hiding her pain. A year later, haunted by suicidal ideations on the assault's anniversary, she checked into Columbia Hospital in Palm Beach for help. There, fate twisted cruelly: her roommate was Lisa Villanu, a 19-year-old recruiter born into the trafficking world, who outranked her own parents in their shadowy hierarchy. Lisa befriended Molly, learning of her vulnerabilities, and soon lured her into the Epstein orbit under the guise of friendship.In late 2001, shortly after 9/11, Lisa drove Molly to Epstein's Palm Beach mansion for what was pitched as a casual holiday gathering. Instead, it was a meticulously orchestrated "matchmaking" event - a marketplace of exploitation where young women were paraded before wealthy men. Repulsed, Molly resisted, noting the red flags - the drug offers, the private "meetings," and the young girl asleep in a red-lit room amid making-out adults.But the past resurfaced in 2019 when news of Epstein's arrest triggered memories. Molly pieced together the puzzle: the gym recruiter was Maxwell, the party was a trafficking hub. Speaking out on social media and podcasts, she faced vicious backlash - and endless harassment from alleged Epstein victims and survivors - which is what we will be talking about and exposing today along with her revelations about Trump, Maxwell and Epstein and the information that has been deliberately suppressed and covered up through the limited hangout ‘Epstein Files' and narrative controlled by mainstream media and mainstream ‘alt media'.

In the newly released tranche of the Epstein files—millions of internal emails and documents made public by the U.S. Department of Justice—correspondence involving Howard Lutnick has revealed details that contradict his long-held public statements about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Lutnick had repeatedly claimed that he and his wife cut ties with Epstein around 2005 and that he had “limited interactions” with the disgraced financier, even saying at one point that he would “never be in a room” with him again after a weird encounter as neighbors in New York. However, the newly disclosed emails show that in 2012, years after Epstein's conviction on sex offense charges, Lutnick and his family actually planned and carried out a visit to Epstein's private Caribbean island, Little Saint James, agreeing to lunch with him there and coordinating logistics via email. Other messages show continued email contact into 2017 and references to Epstein contributing to a charitable dinner associated with Lutnick, undermining his repeated assertions that he had cut all contact decades earlier.These revelations have significantly weakened Lutnick's credibility on this issue because they directly contradict his public narrative of distancing himself from Epstein after 2005. Instead of “limited interactions,” the emails indicate ongoing contact and social engagement well into the 2010s, including family travel arrangements and personal communication long after Epstein's criminal conduct was widely known. When confronted with these files, Lutnick's office has downplayed the interactions and reiterated that he was never accused of wrongdoing, but the factual email trail—showing lunches, island visits, and cordial correspondence—stands in stark contrast to his earlier statements of severance and minimal contact, raising questions about why he misrepresented the extent of his relationship.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Lutnick and Epstein were in business together, Epstein files show - CBS News

Newly released Department of Justice documents from the ongoing Epstein Files review include surveillance logs that appear to contradict parts of the official narrative of Jeffrey Epstein's death in 2019. The logs describe an orange-colored figure moving up a staircase toward Epstein's locked housing tier at the Metropolitan Correctional Center late on the evening before his death, around 10:39 p.m. That movement—possibly an inmate or corrections officer carrying linen—was logged differently by the FBI and the DOJ's inspector general, and was not mentioned in earlier official accounts that asserted no one entered the tier that night. Experts reviewing the camera footage say the single working camera angle was limited, leaving uncertainty about whether someone could have approached the tier unnoticed, even as past statements from officials like former Attorney General Bill Barr maintained there were no additional entries.The newly released files also include interviews with prison staff and logs showing procedural failures on the night Epstein died, such as missed wellness checks and inconsistent inmate counts. The discrepancies between the surveillance observations and prior public claims have fueled fresh questions about the events surrounding his death, which was officially ruled a suicide. Though no new definitive evidence of foul play has been established, the details in the video logs and related records have underscored gaps and contradictions in the historical record of what happened inside the jail that night.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Who entered Epstein's jail tier the night of his death?

The document MJ v. Jeffrey Epstein, Case No. 9:10-cv-81111-WPD, filed on September 17, 2010 in the Southern District of Florida, involves a civil lawsuit brought by a plaintiff identified as “MJ” against Jeffrey Epstein. According to publicly available summaries of this and similar filings from the same time period, MJ was a minor at the time of the alleged abuse. The complaint accuses Epstein of sexually abusing and trafficking MJ while exploiting his wealth and power to silence and control her. MJ alleged that Epstein engaged in a pattern of recruiting underage girls under the guise of offering them money for massages, only for the encounters to turn sexually exploitative. The suit contends that Epstein used his Palm Beach residence as a base for this operation and that he was enabled by associates who helped him procure and manipulate the victims.The complaint further claims that Epstein committed multiple violations of federal and state laws, including sexual battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and violations of civil rights statutes protecting minors. MJ's legal team argued that the long-term psychological damage from Epstein's abuse warranted significant compensatory and punitive damages. The case forms part of a broader group of lawsuits filed by various women against Epstein around that time, many of whom described nearly identical patterns of abuse. These cases contributed to the growing body of evidence surrounding Epstein's trafficking network long before his 2019 arrest and death.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.flsd.365238.1.0.pdf

Mark Epstein has consistently stated that he does not believe his brother, Jeffrey Epstein, died by suicide and has instead argued that he was murdered while in federal custody. From the beginning, Mark has pointed to what he sees as glaring irregularities in the circumstances of Jeffrey Epstein's death, including the failure of jail staff to properly monitor him, the broken or unusable surveillance cameras, and the rapid rush by authorities to declare the death a suicide. He has said these failures go far beyond ordinary negligence and suggest, at minimum, a system that allowed Epstein to die when powerful interests may have preferred him silent. Mark has emphasized that his brother had recently been taken off suicide watch and, in his view, showed no signs consistent with an imminent suicide at that moment. He has repeatedly framed these facts as incompatible with the official narrative offered by the Bureau of Prisons and the DOJ.Mark Epstein has also cited medical and forensic concerns to support his belief that his brother was killed. He has publicly referenced findings from the autopsy that noted fractures in Jeffrey Epstein's neck bones, arguing that these injuries are more commonly associated with strangulation than with hanging. Mark has said that the refusal of authorities to seriously address these findings, combined with the lack of accountability for the jail failures, reinforces his suspicion of foul play. He has further argued that Jeffrey Epstein was uniquely dangerous to powerful people because of what he knew, and that his death conveniently prevented testimony, cooperation, or further exposure of co-conspirators. For Mark Epstein, the issue is not just personal grief but what he describes as a profound failure of justice, where unanswered questions have been buried rather than investigated with the seriousness such a death demands.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Trump accused of role in Epstein's death in explosive email sent to FBI, documents reveal | The Independent

The controversy surrounding the Epstein files has intensified following President Trump's public directive calling on Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice to launch a new investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's associations—specifically targeting political opponents and several high-profile figures in finance and technology. The timing of this announcement is drawing significant scrutiny, arriving just months after the DOJ and FBI publicly stated that they had already conducted a comprehensive review of all Epstein-related materials, including more than 300 gigabytes of digital evidence, and concluded there was no basis to open any further criminal inquiries. That review asserted that the majority of evidence remained sealed primarily to protect victims and that there was no credible evidence of an Epstein “client list” or coordinated blackmail operation. Critics argue that the sudden reversal raises red flags about political motivations rather than new facts, particularly as Congress moves forward with a discharge petition intended to force the release of unredacted Epstein records to the public.Legal scholars and government accountability watchdogs warn that labeling this sudden initiative an “ongoing investigation” could be used to halt congressional access to Epstein-related records and effectively freeze public disclosure for months or even years. Under DOJ policy, active investigations allow the government to withhold documents that would otherwise be subject to subpoenas or release mandates, raising concerns that the move could function as a procedural shield rather than a legitimate inquiry. Critics argue that invoking investigative privilege at this moment—after years of limited transparency and repeated failures to hold institutions accountable—risks undermining public trust in the justice system and may set a dangerous precedent in which politically motivated probes are used to obstruct oversight. With bipartisan pressure continuing to build around the discharge petition seeking full release of the Epstein files, the coming weeks will test whether Congress can assert its authority or whether the executive branch can successfully deploy legal mechanisms to re-seal evidence and control the narrative around one of the most consequential criminal scandals in modern American history.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

If Prince Andrew is truly serious about clearing his name, there's only one path left to take—and it doesn't involve hiding behind palace walls or issuing carefully worded press releases. It means sitting down with investigators, under oath, and answering every question about his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Public opinion won't shift through PR stunts or vague denials; the only thing that could restore even a shred of credibility is the kind of transparency that comes with sworn testimony. Anything less will always look like evasion, and at this point, the court of public opinion has already rendered its verdict.By avoiding formal questioning, Andrew reinforces every suspicion surrounding him. His silence isn't a shield—it's a confession of fear. If he genuinely has nothing to hide, he should welcome the chance to confront the allegations head-on, with evidence and truth as his defense. Until he does, every statement he makes will sound hollow, every “no recollection” another nail in his reputation's coffin. The door to redemption is open, but only if he's willing to walk through it and face the same scrutiny as the people he once surrounded himself with.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:‘If he wants to clear his name, he will come forward': Andrew under fresh pressure from Congress to testify over Epstein

In the Broward County defamation litigation CACE 15-000072, the deposition at issue is sworn testimony from Paul Cassell, one of the attorneys representing Epstein survivors and a former federal judge. Cassell's deposition focuses on his role in challenging the 2008 federal Non-Prosecution Agreement granted to Jeffrey Epstein, and on statements he made publicly about Alan Dershowitz that later became the basis for Dershowitz's defamation claims. Cassell explains the factual foundation for his remarks, emphasizing that they were rooted in court filings, sworn victim testimony, investigative reporting, and contemporaneous evidence. He details how survivors' allegations against Dershowitz emerged, how they were evaluated by legal teams, and why he believed it was appropriate and accurate to reference them in public advocacy surrounding Epstein's secret plea deal. Cassell consistently frames his conduct as part of his duty to represent victims and expose prosecutorial misconduct, not as a personal attack.The deposition also addresses Dershowitz's accusation that Cassell acted recklessly or with malice, which Cassell firmly rejects. He testifies that he never fabricated claims, never coached witnesses to lie, and never acted outside ethical or professional boundaries. Cassell underscores that his statements reflected allegations already made under oath by victims and contained in legal records, and that suppressing discussion of those allegations would further harm survivors. Throughout the testimony, Cassell situates the dispute within the larger Epstein cover-up, arguing that the real issue is not reputational discomfort among the powerful but the systemic failure to protect exploited minors. The deposition ultimately functions as a defense of victim-centered advocacy and transparency, directly countering Dershowitz's narrative that survivor allegations were invented, coerced, or irresponsibly amplified.to contact me:EFTA00594390.pdf

In her posthumously published memoir, Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, Giuffre alleges that while she was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and his associates she was sent to a “well-known Prime Minister” who raped her “more savagely than anyone had before”. She describes being choked until unconscious, bleeding from multiple wounds, and begging Epstein not to return her to that person — only to be told coldly “You'll get that sometimes.”The identity of the prime minister remains undisclosed in the memoir, but the revelation has stirred renewed scrutiny of the power networks and political complicity surrounding Epstein's trafficking operations. According to media coverage, Giuffre's ghostwriter claims to know all the “names in Epstein's files” and the book has reignited debates about immunity, accountability and how high the cover-up goes.Virginia Roberts Giuffre's allegations against her father, Sky Roberts, form one of the most painful elements of her memoir Nobody's Girl. In it, she writes that the abuse began when she was a young child and continued for years, leaving her emotionally broken and distrustful of the people who were supposed to protect her. She describes her father as someone who manipulated her sense of love and loyalty, creating confusion and fear. This betrayal, she explains, destroyed the foundation of safety that every child should have, and it became the earliest chapter of the exploitation that would later consume her life. Her account frames the abuse as the beginning of a long cycle of predation — one that made her susceptible to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's manipulation as a teenager.Sky Roberts has categorically denied the accusations, calling them false and saying he is devastated by the claims. Despite his denials, Virginia maintains that her father's actions were a key part of the trauma that defined her adolescence and adulthood. She says that being violated by someone within her own family conditioned her to accept mistreatment from others, because she no longer believed she deserved safety or respect. Her allegations have reignited painful conversations about generational abuse and how early trauma can make victims easier targets for predators later in life. For Giuffre, confronting this chapter publicly appears to be both an act of truth-telling and a step toward reclaiming power after years of silence and exploitation.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Alex Acosta's appearance before Congress was nothing short of a masterclass in bureaucratic nonsense and evasive cowardice. Instead of accountability, he offered the same tired excuses and jargon-filled deflections, pretending that the Epstein plea deal was some sort of complicated chess match rather than what it truly was: a grotesque betrayal of justice. He smirked, stammered, and dressed up cowardice as prudence, insisting his hands were tied when in reality, he was the one tying them. It was a performance not of contrition but of arrogance, as if the public should feel lucky that this man even bothered to show up and grace them with his half-truths.Worse still, Acosta continues to play his role in the Epstein charade, feeding the illusion that this was merely an unfortunate footnote in a prosecutor's career rather than a calculated decision that shielded a predator and his powerful friends. By refusing to admit fault or show genuine remorse, he reinforces the same wall of silence that has defined the entire cover-up from day one. His congressional testimony wasn't about truth—it was about maintaining the narrative, keeping the spotlight off the networks of influence that Epstein served. Acosta wasn't testifying for the people; he was testifying for the system that thrives on protecting the powerful, and in doing so, he revealed exactly why history will remember him as a coward who sold out justice and stood by it with a smirk.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Alex Acosta: Former US attorney defends Epstein's 2008 plea deal in hours-long appearance on Capitol Hill | CNN Politics

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

Bill Clinton continues to dodge a formal deposition about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein despite having ample time for public appearances, marathons, and speeches. The same lawmakers who claim that “no one is above the law” have shown no urgency in questioning the former president who welcomed Epstein to the White House seventeen times, accepted his seed money for the Clinton Foundation, and invited Ghislaine Maxwell to his daughter's wedding. While they posture about accountability, their silence and inaction reveal a political double standard that shields their own. Clinton's carefully managed image — complete with polished smiles and “I don't recall” evasions — remains intact because those in power prefer the illusion of justice to the risk of truth.The spectacle has become political theater. Committees hold hearings, the media offers soft profiles, and the powerful continue to protect each other while victims are left waiting for real answers. Clinton's absence from the witness chair is more than an oversight — it's proof that justice in America operates on a sliding scale determined by status and influence. Every public event he attends is a reminder that accountability is optional for the elite, and every unasked question deepens the rot at the core of the system that claims to serve justice but exists only to preserve power.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
