    Stand Down: How the DOJ Sidelined NYPD in the Epstein Case (2/26/26)
    Feb 27 2026
    Newly released Department of Justice files and internal emails show that just **five days after Jeffrey Epstein was arrested on federal sex-trafficking charges in July 2019, federal authorities — including the FBI in coordination with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York — ordered the New York Police Department Special Victims Unit (SVU) to “stand down” its own investigations into Epstein and related matters. The directive reportedly came via outreach from the FBI to NYPD leadership, instructing that all Epstein-related investigative work from that point forward was to be handled through federal channels, effectively sidelining the NYPD’s specialized child exploitation investigators. At the time, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office also had its own parallel inquiry underway, but the communication suggested that any further NYPD actions should defer to federal leadership.

    Emails among federal agents indicated that the motivation for the stand-down order was concern about overlapping cases and the perception of “competing investigations,” particularly after the DA’s office reached out to a victim for interview amid the unfolding federal prosecution. The directive applied specifically to SVU — the unit trained to handle sex crimes and child abuse cases — and essentially shut out local detectives from pursuing additional leads or interviewing witnesses independently once Epstein was in federal custody. Internal discussions later suggested that NYPD’s Epstein inquiry was effectively closed or deferred to the FBI, limiting the department’s role despite its expertise in handling such cases. Epstein died in federal custody about a month later, ending the immediate criminal prosecution, though federal and local authorities continued to coordinate on related matters.

    Mega Edition: The OIG Report Into The Death And Circumstances Of Epstein's Death (Part 3) (2/27/26)
    Feb 27 2026
    The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) report into Jeffrey Epstein’s death delivers a blistering indictment of systemic failures at the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) and his holding facility. It documents a litany of procedural violations: Epstein’s cellmate was removed and never replaced despite explicit policy, surveillance cameras in his unit were malfunctioning or not recording, and the staff responsible for required 30-minute checks on Epstein didn’t perform them. Instead, employees falsified records indicating those rounds were completed, and in reality Epstein was alone and unchecked for hours before his death. These aren’t isolated mistakes—they’re classic symptoms of institutional collapse and neglect at a time when every safeguard should have been activated.


    Beyond the immediate night of his death, the report underscores a deeper rot: long-standing staffing shortages, indifferent supervision, and a culture that tolerated policy breaches without accountability. The OIG identifies that the same deficiencies had been raised in prior reports about the BOP, yet were never effectively addressed. By allowing one of the most high-profile detainees in the nation to slip through the cracks under such glaring conditions, the BOP didn’t just fail Epstein—they failed the public trust and all the victims who sought justice.

  • Ghislaine Maxwell And The Hail Mary Attempt At Freedom

    Ghislaine Maxwell And The Hail Mary Attempt At Freedom
    Feb 27 2026
    Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein who later was convicted in federal court of sex-trafficking and related crimes, filed a motion with a U.S. federal court asking a judge to dismiss the criminal case against her before her trial began. In her legal filings, Maxwell and her attorneys argued that the charges should be thrown out on constitutional grounds, saying she was not prosecuted fairly and that fundamental legal errors and violations of her rights undermined the government’s ability to proceed with the case. This type of filing, known as a motion to dismiss, contended that due process issues amounted to a miscarriage of justice and warranted dismissal of the indictment.

    At the time of that motion, Maxwell was facing allegations that she had helped recruit and groom underage girls in the 1990s for Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation — charges that would later lead to her conviction and a 20-year federal prison sentence. Though her pre-trial motion sought to derail the government’s case based on legal arguments, it was ultimately unsuccessful, and she was eventually tried, convicted, and sentenced in 2021. Even after conviction, Maxwell continued to challenge her sentence and conviction through appeals and habeas petitions, arguing that legal and procedural errors should entitle her to a new trial.

  • Ian Maxwell And The 20/20 Interview

    Ian Maxwell And The 20/20 Interview
    Feb 27 2026
    In the ABC News 20/20 special about Ghislaine Maxwell and her role in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking scandal, her brother Ian Maxwell gave an extended interview defending his sister and offering personal context about her life and their family. Maxwell described their upbringing as privileged yet emotionally complicated, noting that his sister was one of nine children of media mogul Robert Maxwell and had been somewhat “spoiled” by their father. He said he met Epstein only briefly and did not know the details of his sister’s adult life with him, but insisted that Epstein’s crimes and Maxwell’s conduct were legally and morally distinct, urging viewers to treat her as “presumed innocent” given that she pleaded not guilty and was entitled to a fair legal process. Maxwell emphasized that the public narrative often conflated Epstein’s actions with his sister’s and portrayed her unfairly in the media.

    During the 20/20 interview, Ian Maxwell also recounted his limited personal interactions with Epstein, saying he did not find the financier especially likable and that Epstein’s charisma was not something he shared. He pushed back against the sensational media coverage surrounding his sister’s arrest and trial, framing her prosecution as overhyped and influenced by the high-profile nature of the case rather than pure legal evidence. Maxwell’s remarks were part of a broader effort — also seen in other media appearances — to defend Ghislaine’s character, argue that she deserved due process, and differentiate her from Epstein’s criminal legacy, even as she faced federal convictions and sentences for her role in the abuse network.

  • Not All The Faculty At Harvard Was Down With Jeffrey Epstein

    Not All The Faculty At Harvard Was Down With Jeffrey Epstein
    Feb 27 2026
    Jeffrey Epstein’s financial relationship with Harvard University revealed how elite institutions can compromise their own standards when wealthy donors are involved. Even after pleading guilty in 2008 to soliciting a minor, Epstein continued to maintain access to Harvard’s campus and faculty. He had previously donated to research initiatives and was granted privileges including office space, a university email address, and key-card access. Internal reviews later concluded that allowing him continued involvement after his conviction was a serious lapse in judgment that contradicted Harvard’s public commitments to combating sexual misconduct and protecting institutional integrity.

    The situation exposed a broader vulnerability in academic research funding: large private donations can shape scientific priorities without the oversight required in traditional peer-reviewed grant systems. Epstein directed funding toward established, high-profile researchers and specific areas of interest, amplifying existing power structures while sidelining more transparent, merit-based processes.

    Most scientists or officials at these universities would have you believe that they weren't close to Epstein, even as they were accepting him as a patron. This professor, however, went a different way and took aim at Epstein and his relationship with her University, Harvard.

  • Prince Andrew And The Rules For Royals

    Prince Andrew And The Rules For Royals
    Feb 26 2026
    There is a strong argument that royals like Prince Andrew live under a separate set of rules compared to ordinary citizens. In the UK, the Freedom of Information Act provides special protections: correspondence involving the monarch, the heir, and the second in line is completely exempt from disclosure, and communications involving other royals are covered by a qualified exemption. This means that information which would normally be made public for politicians or officials can remain permanently hidden when it involves the royal family. Similarly, judges have ruled that the security costs for royals cannot be made public, ensuring that vast sums of taxpayer money spent on their protection are kept secret in a way no ordinary public figure could expect.
