Descripción

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told senators during his July 15 confirmation hearing that the Justice Department has not permanently closed the door on prosecuting additional people connected to Jeffrey Epstein. Blanche said the department would investigate, indict and prosecute anyone if credible new evidence emerged showing that person participated in Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation. He distinguished between the DOJ’s completed review of its existing Epstein records and the department’s continuing authority to open new criminal cases. Although the prosecutions of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell have ended, Blanche insisted that investigators remain prepared to act immediately if victims, attorneys or other witnesses provide information capable of supporting charges. Blanche also defended the DOJ against accusations that it has abandoned Epstein’s survivors, saying officials have met with representatives of more than 30 victims and will continue speaking with anyone who comes forward. He encouraged victims and their lawyers to contact the FBI with additional evidence, promising that the department would investigate it fully. His comments came amid criticism of the government’s handling of the Epstein records, including the earlier DOJ and FBI conclusion that investigators found no evidence of a formal “client list” and no justification for additional public disclosures. Blanche’s position is that the existing document review may be finished, but the broader possibility of prosecuting new suspects remains open if evidence strong enough to sustain a criminal case is produced. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Todd Blanche says Epstein prosecution remains open to new evidence | Fox News [https://www.foxnews.com/politics/todd-blanche-says-no-closed-investigations-epstein-case-vows-doj-pursue-new-suspects]

The Five Alternate Theories Surrounding Charlie Kirk’s Murder (Part 1) (7/16/26)

Since Charlie Kirk’s murder, five major conspiracy theories have dominated the online conversation: that Tyler Robinson was never on the Utah Valley University campus, that another shooter fired the fatal round, that police fabricated the digital and forensic evidence, that people inside Turning Point USA helped arrange or conceal the killing, and that a foreign government ordered the assassination. Each theory begins with a real uncertainty or weakness, such as unclear surveillance footage, inconclusive ballistics, questions about digital-message authentication, inadequate event security, or Kirk’s political disagreements. The problem is that these legitimate questions are repeatedly stretched into sweeping claims that require investigators, witnesses, relatives, forensic analysts, prosecutors, political organizations, and foreign actors to participate in a coordinated deception. The publicly described evidence instead links Robinson to the campus through surveillance footage, his vehicle, DNA found on items associated with the rifle and rooftop, cellphone data, witness statements, and multiple alleged admissions. None of that proves guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, but it makes claims that Robinson was completely framed or absent from the scene extremely difficult to support. The strongest approach is to separate legitimate courtroom challenges from unsupported accusations. Robinson remains presumed innocent, and his defense has every right to challenge the identification evidence, DNA analysis, scene preservation, ballistics, digital extractions, witness interviews, and alleged confessions, especially in a death-penalty case. However, inconclusive bullet testing does not mean the rifle was excluded, poor security does not prove an intentional stand-down, and political disagreements do not establish that Turning Point USA, Erika Kirk, Israel, or any other foreign government arranged the murder. No credible public evidence has revealed payments, communications, handlers, operational plans, or witnesses connecting those parties to the shooting. The evidence currently points toward Robinson as the alleged gunman, while the final decision about his guilt belongs to a jury after the prosecution’s case has been fully tested. Responsible analysis should demand answers from authorities without transforming every unanswered question into proof of a vast conspiracy. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Lesley Groff And The Transcript From Her Epstein Related Trip to Congress (Part 22) (7/16/26)

Lesley Groff told the House Oversight Committee that she worked for Jeffrey Epstein from February 2001 until July 2019 as his secretary/administrative assistant, handling scheduling, calls, travel coordination, calendars, and staff logistics. Her central position was that Epstein kept her separated from his criminal life, that she never witnessed abuse, never had a victim disclose abuse to her, and did not knowingly help Epstein or Maxwell commit crimes. She described Epstein as a “master manipulator” who lied to her and kept his “legitimate” world apart from his abuse, while acknowledging that she scheduled massage appointments when Epstein provided names and numbers, sometimes circulated calendars that included those appointments early on, and understood the massages as routine at the time. She said she did not personally meet the massage providers, did not know they were minors or young women, and assumed they were masseuses, even though members pressed her on why an extremely wealthy man would use rotating names and phone numbers instead of a professional massage service. The questioning also focused heavily on Epstein’s network and whether Groff had knowledge of powerful men being provided access to girls or young women through Epstein or Maxwell. Groff repeatedly answered no when asked whether she had arranged massages for prominent figures, knew of sexual activity involving minors or young women, or knew of anyone who knowingly facilitated Epstein’s crimes. She acknowledged scheduling or connecting Epstein with high-profile contacts, including Prince Andrew, Ehud Barak, Larry Summers, George Mitchell, John Kerry, Wesley Clark, Bill Clinton-related circles, and Donald Trump phone calls, but denied arranging Trump travel during her employment and denied knowledge of Trump-related law enforcement communications. She also said she never suspected Epstein or Maxwell of working with any intelligence service. Overall, Groff’s testimony was defensive and narrow: she admitted to being part of the machinery that kept Epstein’s calendar and contacts moving, but insisted she never saw the criminal operation underneath it and never knowingly enabled it. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source:   Lesley-Groff-Transcript.pdf [https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Lesley-Groff-Transcript.pdf]

JD Vance Admits the White House “Screwed Up” the Epstein Files Release (7/16/26)

Vice President JD Vance told Joe Rogan that certain elements within the Israeli government were attempting to undermine American diplomatic efforts and prolong the war with Iran indefinitely. Vance said the United States had reached the practical limits of what military force could accomplish and argued that negotiations offered the only realistic path toward ending the conflict. He accused pro-war Israeli figures and their allies of running an influence campaign against him and others seeking a settlement, while stressing that his responsibility was to protect American interests rather than support an endless foreign war. His comments revealed a widening dispute inside the Trump administration and the Republican Party over Israel, Iran and the extent to which the United States should remain involved in the conflict. Vance also admitted that the Trump administration badly mishandled the release of the Epstein records, telling Rogan that officials “absolutely screwed up” the communications surrounding the process. He blamed inflated expectations, confusing statements from former Attorney General Pam Bondi and the heavily promoted release of binders containing largely familiar information for creating the appearance of concealment. Vance denied that President Trump deliberately covered anything up, but said the administration should have released the properly redacted records more quickly and clearly. Although he described himself as a longtime believer that there was more to Epstein’s operation, Vance said he had not seen direct evidence proving an intelligence connection, while acknowledging that any such records might have disappeared long ago. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

JPMorgan, Jamie Diamond, Jeffrey Epstein and the Battle Over Britain’s Banker Tax (7/16/26)

Senator Elizabeth Warren is demanding answers from JPMorgan chief executive Jamie Dimon about whether he acted on advice connected to Jeffrey Epstein while lobbying against a proposed British tax on bankers’ bonuses. Warren’s questions follow the release of a 2009 email exchange in which Epstein asked then-Labour minister Peter Mandelson whether Dimon should pressure UK chancellor Alistair Darling over the tax. Mandelson reportedly replied that Dimon should “mildly threaten” Darling, and Dimon later warned that JPMorgan could reconsider investments in Britain, including plans for a new London headquarters. Warren said the communications raise serious questions about the extent of JPMorgan’s relationship with Epstein and what Dimon Dimon testified in 2023 that he had never met Epstein and had not heard his name until Epstein’s 2019 arrest. JPMorgan continues to insist that Dimon never communicated with Epstein, never sought his advice and was not involved in decisions involving Epstein’s accounts. The bank has also rejected former executive Jes Staley’s claim that he discussed Epstein with Dimon, describing Staley’s testimony as unreliable. JPMorgan acknowledged that maintaining Epstein as a client was a mistake but said the bank ended the relationship in 2013 and would have acted sooner had it known he was continuing to commit crimes. Warren is now seeking a fuller accounting of whether Dimon’s lobbying efforts were influenced, directly or indirectly, by Epstein and his political connections. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: JP Morgan boss pressed by US senator about contact with Jeffrey Epstein | JP Morgan | The Guardian [https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/jul/13/jp-morgan-boss-jamie-dimon-us-uk-jeffrey-epstein-elizabeth-warren]
