I’ve found that ppl who are the most rabid about this online don’t even know the slightest bit about it, they haven’t read anything or done any research. It’s all low IQ lore at this point.
He’s trying to get into the facts at least. That’s more than I can say for most. There are ppl who think Epstein didn’t kill himself because they’ve read "Epstein didn’t kill himself" many times online, and that’s as far as it goes.
No. Michael just can't accept the now obvious EVIL of the Intelligence Establishment. The way Epstein was coddled stinks to high heaven! Face what that means! Nit picking and demonizing victims stinks! Trump is more likely to have been co-operating with Intelligence than being a pedo himself. Many, I think, have been convinced that National Security or Geopolitics justify anything and everything. Firebombing Japan and Desden were also extreme.
But, as Michael is pointing out, the evidence does not support the generally held belief that Epstein was making underage girls available for sexual favors with rich and powerful people, while making videos of the encounters, in order to blackmail them.
I do have questions as to how Epstein made all his money, and his relationship with Ehud Barak, but none of the "conspiracies" about Epstein seem to be borne out by the evidence.
Barak relationship can be explained rather easy. Epstein invested millions in his startup. Barak wouldn’t be the first guy to socially hangout and brown nose his primary investor. And think of this way. If it was a Mossad thing and Barak was his handler, why would the Israelis allow Barak to be photographed multiple times coming out of Epstein’s NY house? The same people that pulled off the Hamas pager bomb intel are going to be that sloppy? It defies common sense
Like when hang gliders penetrated the iron dome on Oct 7th? That crack intelligence agency? Pager bombs were Hezbollah. Get your facts straight or Tracey will lose his bitch mind.
I agree and partially disagree. The one that I think is clearly most likely true is the fact that he did not kill himself. This is based on his reporting of an assault that was essentially ignored the days before his death, the fact that his hyoid bone was broken despite dying from a "partial hanging" (his butt was a few inches off the floor and he was in a sitting position hanging from the top bunk, not enough force possible to break the hyoid bone) and the fact that a psychotic ex-cop was also in his wing.
Essentially, the cameras show the door to the Epstein wing was never opened (if you believe the video is authentic and complete) and so the killer, if there was one, had to be from within his section/wing. Of those people, I believe Epstein was the ONLY one to have a camera in their actual unit, and so the authorities are able to plausibly deny the knowledge that somebody let one of these guys out of their unit and into Epstein's.
I think the evidence for blackmail rings, as far as any even exists, is much less convincing at this point.
Tracey, you deserve more notoriety. You do great work. Watched your debate with Saagar Enjeti... good stuff. You would play well to a Piers Morgan platform. You deserve that exposure.
He came off terribly in the debate with Saagar. Every time Saagar would bring up a point Tracey would just keep bringing up Virginia Guifre even if she had nothing to do with it.
Saagar: “how do you explain Epstein’s relationship with Adnan Khassogi?”
I think you are mostly correct. However that dynamic is what the Piers Morgan show relishes in. Tracey often holds unpopular opinions but is better researched than most. I think he is a genuine person with a dry sense of humor you dont often see anymore.
Just because you hold an unpopular opinion, doesn’t mean you’re correct? I think this is a situation, like in the past, where Michael is being a contrarian just for the sake of it. Something tells me that the guy who always has an “unpopular opinion” on everything may not be the most genuine, rational person.
Mike Benz discusses Epstein's relationship with Adnan Khassogi in his podcast with Triggernometry. After Benz did his usual blowing smoke up your ass, ''stream of consciousness" (or should I say Whitney Webbish) stringing together of the connections between Epstein and Khassogi, Kisin interrupted Benz to ask him specifically about whether Epstein had been involved in Khassogi's arms smuggling operations, as opposed to merely managing Khassogi's money. Benz admitted that he didn't know and didn't have any smoking gun linking Epstein to US intelligence. I'd like to see Tracey apply his razor blade to Benz's analysis of the Epstein story. Benz is good at collecting interesting material, but when it comes to analysis of the material, I think Benz is another crackpot.
Epstein was also connected to Douglas Leese. And just so happened to shack up with Robert Maxwell's daughter, was associated with multiple Israeli PM's, among others.
None of this proves that Epstein was connected to any country's intelligence. As an investment banker I encountered in one of my jobs once explained to me, investment bankers hang around deals where lots of money is changing hands in the hope that some of it sticks to them. Analogously, 'wealth managers' like Jeffrey Epstein hang around wealthy individuals (including arms dealers like Khassogi and Leese, or the daughter of a wealthy publishing magnate) in the hope that some of it sticks to them. No doubt they are also good at kissing the asses of wealthy individuals. It doesn't mean that they are involved in the same activities (i.e. intelligence) as the wealthy individuals for whom they work.
Mike Benz is a literal fraud who claims to have worked "cyber" at State department. but this a lie. He has no record of this whatsoever. He is, without a doubt, the most successful fraudulent entity (likely foreign controlled through his wife) to ever disgrace the podcasting scene.
No idea about that interview, but there’s no good reason to think he ever worked with Adnan Khashoggi that doesn’t ultimately trace back to his own myth-making claims about himself.
Maybe, but Piers Morgan always seems to have a panel of 5 people, all yelling to be heard over each other. Each participant is lucky to get more than 30 seconds to speak.
It looks like you haven't listened to Cooper's own podcast series on Epstein. It's available for free and clarifies several of the questions posted here as gotchas.
Which questions does it clarify? And why wouldn't we expect him to make any necessary "clarifications" during a nearly three-hour podcast appearance, for which he's brought in as one of the most seasoned, knowledgeable Epstein Experts on the internet?
You claimed that his own podcast series "clarifies several of the questions posted here as gotchas." I asked you which of my questions you're claiming his podcast series clarifies. Why can't you answer?
Why do you appear to be defending the honor of a man who plead guilty to pedophilia, in spite of his legion of amazing defense attorneys?
Was serial fabulist Virginia Giuffre a horrible lying whore? If so, one would think his defense team would have blown her to pieces. Instead, according to recent stuttering defense of Epstein on your pod cast with Thad Russell, you assert she was awarded between 10 -30 million dollars. How do you explain that? Is she a whore or a criminal mastermind? A Robin Hood for sluts! She took Dershowitz’s most famous client down, but couldn’t take a dime from Dershowitz?
Then in the same rambling pig of an interview, you got mixed up about “which” 14 year old girl you were smearing. So now we know that there were at least two 14 year old girls doing god knows what with a guy who recruits girls from high schools. But to suggest that he didn’t know their ages? The problem isn’t that he didn’t know. The recruiting girls from high schools would be the thing that triggered alarm bells. Also, you defending or parsing the crime seems creepy as fuck. If I were casting creepy pedo for a movie, your physical appearance would make you a natural candidate.
You asking for a definition of “Epstein space” is childish and inconsistent with “polite E-mail”. You will recoil and feign indignation at my assessment. Because you pretend to be autistic and lacking in social awareness. Which is why I will never write you a “polite” anything. But while we’re on the subject, where have you been with your mad journo skills for the last 20 years pertaining to this story.
When “you think about it for five minutes, because Acosta in fact did not leave Epstein alone”? In the first 5 seconds I’m wondering why the fuck the feds were even involved? Additionally, I’m wondering “why the light sentence” and what the fuck did he “actually” do if that is what he plead to with Dershowitz as his attorney. How would you possibly know the extent of their efforts to thwart Acosta or their sincerity? Maybe they knew they were going to get off easy at sentencing. Maybe the proceedings were intended to pacify locals in the community who were asking too many questions and the feds were afraid of disclosure at a hearing.
You whine like a broken record about how the women involved got so much money for being sluts. But cling to Guiffre like a life preserver because if you get too far down the road of credibility the numbers are overwhelming. Both in girls/women and settlement dollars.
Why bring up Podesta? The FBI wants the Seth Rich laptop sealed forever. The pizza gate reference seems like you’re trying to defame cooper broadly instead of staying with the topic at hand. Like if I inserted something about your beheaded babies lies.
Tracey concerning Acosta calling Epstein an intelligence asset:
“Acosta replied under penalty of perjury, “The answer is no.”
Hey retard! Politicians and government officials lie under oath all the time. That’s sort of the whole Epstein thing. Lying, obfuscations, way too many questions and very ridiculous answers.
The suicide. The broken cameras and “lazy” guards. The release of dubious footage 5 years later. The odd autopsy protocol.
The shear number of girls and the money they received when a super sleuth like Micheal Tracey could have sent those scandalous whores packing. Which is really odd given his superstar defense attorneys.
Dershowitz introduction to Epstein through lady Rothschild. Bill Barrs daddy hiring him at his school without a teaching certificate. Maxwells daddy’s intelligence and media ties. His mysterious death. A virtual who’s who of powerful turds wrapped around the axels of this bullshit. And don’t forget the weird stuff at his home. Including a first edition of “Lolita”. Which you conveniently left out of your article when you referenced the “Lolita Express”. Wasn’t that the kind of omission you were whining about?
In case your garbage isn’t gross enough, there’s a real jealousy thread about the girls. Is it because they have lots of money by virtue of tricking filthy rich motherfuckers and their incompetent attorneys? Face it. You’re a shitty journalist, and you will always be broke. That’s not the fault of either of the 14 year old girls you mixed up. Or anyone else. Maybe find another profession.
The answer to the question of Acosta's testimony. Cooper explained that Acosta was asked if he had knowledge of Epstein's ties to intelligence, which he technically didn't. If you are asked under oath if you had knowledge of someone committing a crime, and you heard third hand about them committing that crime, your lawyer would advise you to say no.
How about you explain what's the incorrect assumption here instead of deflecting with this untitled podcast, or more concretely how did you explain Cooper blatantly mischaracterizing a judge to a huge audience to promote an unhinged conspiracy theory?
This feels a bit like discussing a book with someone who hasn't read it but has made up their mind to hate it. If you listen to his podcast you'll hear for yourself, Menachem.
Well, Michael, you're certainly educating me on the Epstein Expert Industrial Complex. Amazing work, thank you for doing this. I'm sure it wasn't on your bingo card, but since you had been commanded to look and listen to all the "experts" and you have, it's as if there's a concerted effort by these people that they refrain from answering a single question you raise.
Odd isn't quite the right word. Damning perhaps is a more accurate one.
I'd pay unreasonable sums of money to have Tracey sit down with Walter Kirn who has professed to know more about the Epstein situation than "most humans" or something along those lines.
Cooper is okay. I liked his Jonestown podcast and a few others. But he blew it on Epstein, almost everyone did. I think of Cooper as more as an entertainer of some sort. I take all his stuff with a grain of salt.
> Can you specify which “girl” was allegedly told by Ghislaine Maxwell how “easy” it would be to “get rid” of her?"
fwiw i think Maria Farmer has said things very much along these lines - that Ghislaine would track her down, call her, and make veiled threats.
that being said i do tend to agree that the "global paedo ring" part of the epstein story is overblown when the real story is probably all the russian money laundering. all of ghislaine's victims testified that they were trafficked solely to jeffrey epstein, not to some elite cabal of paedos.
If who Darryl Cooper was referring to was Maria Farmer -- she wasn't a "girl." She became an employee of Epstein when she was 25 years old, and the alleged "rape" happened when she was 26 years old.
i suspect we both know there was no "rape" to speak of w/r/t maria farmer (or her sister anna), just some extremely creepy behavior from epstein & ghislaine. but either way anna farmer was considerably younger than maria farmer and if ghislaine was calling maria i wouldn't be surprised if she was calling anna too.
IIRC it's pretty well documented that epstein at a minimum did sic an army of private investigators on a lot of these girls. not the same as an overt threat of violence, but still extremely intimidating.
If you’re going to scrutinize the self-styled “researchers” who turned Epstein into a cottage industry, the obvious next subject is RYAN DAWSON. He’s spent years building his entire identity around sprawling Epstein conspiracies online, recycling the same lurid myths and weaving them into grand, all-encompassing narratives. If Cooper was the gateway for “normies,” RYAN DAWSON is the purest distillation of the internet’s Epstein obsession — less historian than crank impresario, whose endless theorizing thrives precisely because it never has to withstand scrutiny.
I don't even know where Dawson's "research" is supposed to be located. I have engaged with him once on X Spaces (see my YouTube channel) and he ducked out fairly quickly, claiming he had some personal issue to attend to. I've been sending him questions about his communications with Maria Farmer and Virginia Giuffre, and he's very slippery and evasive, claiming he's busy and/or doesn't remember various key details.
RYAN DAWSON is the archetypal crank — a long-time 9/11 truther and libertarian conspiracist who’s spent years recycling the same material on the fringes. Now that these views have become lucrative, the mainstream rightoids treat him as an “OG,” mistaking longevity for credibility. He’s never written anything of substance — unless you count selling merch like his Epstein list posters. What he really represents is the professionalization of crankery, dressed up as research but never subjected to serious scrutiny. And I’m not surprised all these scammers avoid you like the plague — they know one serious interrogation risks their entire identity.
Clinton: "Another person reportedly said she’d seen me on the island, but that I didn’t do anything wrong. However, in early 2024, unsealed depositions showed that she’d only heard I was there but didn’t actually see me."
As much as I believe that Clinton did not go to the island, what he says here is categorically untrue.
First of all, Giuffre did say that Clinton was up to no good when he went walking off to a cabana with two girls she originally described as "no older than 17, very innocent-looking". On Twitter, she said that it "Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why he was on the island with 2 girls walking him to a cabana."
Second, the unsealed depositions say nothing about her only hearing that was he on the island but not actually seeing him. The closest the deposition gets to anything like this is Giuffre saying that she only heard from Maxwell that Maxwell personally flew Clinton to the island on a helicopter.
Here's a deposition where Giuffre says she met him on the island and later mentions his two beautiful female companions.
"Q. Where were you on the island when you met him?
The definition of a pedophile is someone who is sexually attracted to pre-pubescent children. If a teenage girl voluntarily allows herself to be screwed by an adult male in exchange for money or a free trip to some island, the latter may be guilty of statutory rape, and he is certainly an evil person, but he is not a pedophile.
This is such a weirdly dishonest account of the Palm Beach case. What actually happened was that the Palm Beach PD brought the case to Acosta's office, because they could see that the state attorneys were deliberately torpedoing their own case, which the lawyers in Acosta's office agreed with (and which is blindingly obvious from the grand jury transcript). The FBI eventually identified over 30 potential victims and was in the process of identifying more while attempting to obtain the footage from the cameras in Epstein's house (this had been removed before the police search, which the Palm Beach PD suspected was because he was tipped off) when one of Acosta's subordinates recommended multiple federal charges against Epstein. At that point Acosta decided to sign a non-prosecution agreement with Epstein and forego any federal charges, in exchange for pleading to a couple of minor state charges. Is it suspicious that Acosta decided to ignore the recommendation of his own staff, who had far more experience as criminal prosecutors, and defer to state attorneys that were obviously trying to bury the case (which Acosta implausibly claimed to be unaware of)? Nope, apparently not, nothing to see here.
Incredible work. How pathetic that there's never any accountability on the part of these "researchers" or the hosts that have them on their podcasts. The hosts are credulous dupes at best.
Not to mention, Maxwell could have been inferring that she would fire the girls by, "getting rid of them." But they easily insinuated that she meant they would be murdered and disappeared. Seems to fit the narratives pushed by a lot of those involved. If there is ever an Airline that employs hot 20 year olds that wear lingerie, and will "massage" you - sign me up.
I think Cooper just made it up. But when someone becomes public enemy number one, it's really open season on their reputation and the most outrageous claims emerge to muddy the waters.
Ellen DeGeneres had this happen to her in 2020 and the most credible contemporaneous evidence found of Ellen's personal wickedness was that she supposedly emailed a restaurant owner to complain about the nails of a waitress.
I’ve found that ppl who are the most rabid about this online don’t even know the slightest bit about it, they haven’t read anything or done any research. It’s all low IQ lore at this point.
Like Michael
He’s trying to get into the facts at least. That’s more than I can say for most. There are ppl who think Epstein didn’t kill himself because they’ve read "Epstein didn’t kill himself" many times online, and that’s as far as it goes.
No. Michael just can't accept the now obvious EVIL of the Intelligence Establishment. The way Epstein was coddled stinks to high heaven! Face what that means! Nit picking and demonizing victims stinks! Trump is more likely to have been co-operating with Intelligence than being a pedo himself. Many, I think, have been convinced that National Security or Geopolitics justify anything and everything. Firebombing Japan and Desden were also extreme.
But, as Michael is pointing out, the evidence does not support the generally held belief that Epstein was making underage girls available for sexual favors with rich and powerful people, while making videos of the encounters, in order to blackmail them.
I do have questions as to how Epstein made all his money, and his relationship with Ehud Barak, but none of the "conspiracies" about Epstein seem to be borne out by the evidence.
Barak relationship can be explained rather easy. Epstein invested millions in his startup. Barak wouldn’t be the first guy to socially hangout and brown nose his primary investor. And think of this way. If it was a Mossad thing and Barak was his handler, why would the Israelis allow Barak to be photographed multiple times coming out of Epstein’s NY house? The same people that pulled off the Hamas pager bomb intel are going to be that sloppy? It defies common sense
"Epstein invested millions in his startup." Why this particular investment, of all the things he could have invested in?
Like when hang gliders penetrated the iron dome on Oct 7th? That crack intelligence agency? Pager bombs were Hezbollah. Get your facts straight or Tracey will lose his bitch mind.
The people who "pulled off the Hamas pager bomb" operation have been committing war crimes on a daily basis for nearly 2 years now.
Yes -- they are definitely that sloppy.
They answer to no one.
I agree and partially disagree. The one that I think is clearly most likely true is the fact that he did not kill himself. This is based on his reporting of an assault that was essentially ignored the days before his death, the fact that his hyoid bone was broken despite dying from a "partial hanging" (his butt was a few inches off the floor and he was in a sitting position hanging from the top bunk, not enough force possible to break the hyoid bone) and the fact that a psychotic ex-cop was also in his wing.
Essentially, the cameras show the door to the Epstein wing was never opened (if you believe the video is authentic and complete) and so the killer, if there was one, had to be from within his section/wing. Of those people, I believe Epstein was the ONLY one to have a camera in their actual unit, and so the authorities are able to plausibly deny the knowledge that somebody let one of these guys out of their unit and into Epstein's.
I think the evidence for blackmail rings, as far as any even exists, is much less convincing at this point.
Coddled for solicitation of a prostitute? Please.

The foundation of the accusation is built on sand.
The "serial fabulist." He kept using that odd phrase like he had a tic or something.
No idea about that interview, but there’s no good reason to think he ever worked with Adnan Khashoggi that doesn’t ultimately trace back to his own myth-making claims about himself.
Maybe, but Piers Morgan always seems to have a panel of 5 people, all yelling to be heard over each other. Each participant is lucky to get more than 30 seconds to speak.
Correct. Not a real advocate of the platform but it gets the clicks.
Piers Morgan? Not a bad idea. Tracey would expose that arrogant, blowhard, media slime-bag and show the world what a fool Morgan is.

Other people have provided a few examples in this comment section.
If you could answer why you didn't bother going to the actual source for the questions you ostensibly are so curious about, that would be lovely.
The answer to the question of Acosta's testimony. Cooper explained that Acosta was asked if he had knowledge of Epstein's ties to intelligence, which he technically didn't. If you are asked under oath if you had knowledge of someone committing a crime, and you heard third hand about them committing that crime, your lawyer would advise you to say no.
"The greatest historian of our time" according to Tucker Carlson.
Maybe Cooper should listen to his own podcast because his interview with Tucker displayed poor grasp of the facts.
By clarify, you mean attempt to CYA?
Yes, he released the series in 2022 to cover his ass for an interview he'd give in 2025. Impressive deceit, you have to admit.
How can a 2022 podcast clarify what he meant by fabricating a quote in 2025?
If you question your own assumption here (or listen to the actual podcast he made) you'll find the answer is quite obvious.
How about you explain what's the incorrect assumption here instead of deflecting with this untitled podcast, or more concretely how did you explain Cooper blatantly mischaracterizing a judge to a huge audience to promote an unhinged conspiracy theory?

Yeah, it is odd. One after the other.
Odd isn't quite the right word. Damning perhaps is a more accurate one.

It would be quite the show.
Darryl Cooper is just another branch from the tree of Alex Jones without the charm of Nick Fuentes or the charisma of Candace Owens.

i suspect we both know there was no "rape" to speak of w/r/t maria farmer (or her sister anna), just some extremely creepy behavior from epstein & ghislaine. but either way anna farmer was considerably younger than maria farmer and if ghislaine was calling maria i wouldn't be surprised if she was calling anna too.
IIRC it's pretty well documented that epstein at a minimum did sic an army of private investigators on a lot of these girls. not the same as an overt threat of violence, but still extremely intimidating.
If you’re going to scrutinize the self-styled “researchers” who turned Epstein into a cottage industry, the obvious next subject is RYAN DAWSON. He’s spent years building his entire identity around sprawling Epstein conspiracies online, recycling the same lurid myths and weaving them into grand, all-encompassing narratives. If Cooper was the gateway for “normies,” RYAN DAWSON is the purest distillation of the internet’s Epstein obsession — less historian than crank impresario, whose endless theorizing thrives precisely because it never has to withstand scrutiny.
I don't even know where Dawson's "research" is supposed to be located. I have engaged with him once on X Spaces (see my YouTube channel) and he ducked out fairly quickly, claiming he had some personal issue to attend to. I've been sending him questions about his communications with Maria Farmer and Virginia Giuffre, and he's very slippery and evasive, claiming he's busy and/or doesn't remember various key details.
RYAN DAWSON is the archetypal crank — a long-time 9/11 truther and libertarian conspiracist who’s spent years recycling the same material on the fringes. Now that these views have become lucrative, the mainstream rightoids treat him as an “OG,” mistaking longevity for credibility. He’s never written anything of substance — unless you count selling merch like his Epstein list posters. What he really represents is the professionalization of crankery, dressed up as research but never subjected to serious scrutiny. And I’m not surprised all these scammers avoid you like the plague — they know one serious interrogation risks their entire identity.
Clinton: "Another person reportedly said she’d seen me on the island, but that I didn’t do anything wrong. However, in early 2024, unsealed depositions showed that she’d only heard I was there but didn’t actually see me."
As much as I believe that Clinton did not go to the island, what he says here is categorically untrue.
First of all, Giuffre did say that Clinton was up to no good when he went walking off to a cabana with two girls she originally described as "no older than 17, very innocent-looking". On Twitter, she said that it "Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why he was on the island with 2 girls walking him to a cabana."
Second, the unsealed depositions say nothing about her only hearing that was he on the island but not actually seeing him. The closest the deposition gets to anything like this is Giuffre saying that she only heard from Maxwell that Maxwell personally flew Clinton to the island on a helicopter.
Here's a deposition where Giuffre says she met him on the island and later mentions his two beautiful female companions.
"Q. Where were you on the island when you met him?
A. We had a dinner together."
Youre boy Hannania or whatever the fuck his name is thinks you eviscerated him….. i dont think so man, looks like the Israelis have also gotten you
Attack from the low IQ cabal. Why don’t you deal with the points Tracey made instead of just mindlessly repeating MAGA talking points?
He obviously thinks his moniker is a clever jab at Douglas Murray, but all of his comments support the substance of Murray's point.
I don’t think MAGA talking points is the appropriate term when talking about J obsessed spergs.
Michael will always stand by pedophiles…. Too bad
The definition of a pedophile is someone who is sexually attracted to pre-pubescent children. If a teenage girl voluntarily allows herself to be screwed by an adult male in exchange for money or a free trip to some island, the latter may be guilty of statutory rape, and he is certainly an evil person, but he is not a pedophile.
Found one boys.
I'm XX. Not all of us think with our FEELINGS.
That's just asinine.
Michael is simply presenting the evidence.
Do authors pay you to kiss their ass?
No, I am being totally honest.
Micheal is a bloviating turd. I can’t imagine how you can defend him on this issue.
Already knew that the guy is a simpleton, but this here is a proper eviscaration, well done.
This is such a weirdly dishonest account of the Palm Beach case. What actually happened was that the Palm Beach PD brought the case to Acosta's office, because they could see that the state attorneys were deliberately torpedoing their own case, which the lawyers in Acosta's office agreed with (and which is blindingly obvious from the grand jury transcript). The FBI eventually identified over 30 potential victims and was in the process of identifying more while attempting to obtain the footage from the cameras in Epstein's house (this had been removed before the police search, which the Palm Beach PD suspected was because he was tipped off) when one of Acosta's subordinates recommended multiple federal charges against Epstein. At that point Acosta decided to sign a non-prosecution agreement with Epstein and forego any federal charges, in exchange for pleading to a couple of minor state charges. Is it suspicious that Acosta decided to ignore the recommendation of his own staff, who had far more experience as criminal prosecutors, and defer to state attorneys that were obviously trying to bury the case (which Acosta implausibly claimed to be unaware of)? Nope, apparently not, nothing to see here.
Incredible work. How pathetic that there's never any accountability on the part of these "researchers" or the hosts that have them on their podcasts. The hosts are credulous dupes at best.
Darryl Cooper was all I needed to see to not waste a second on what he has to say.
Cooper does believe Trump cucks on this issue
Not to mention, Maxwell could have been inferring that she would fire the girls by, "getting rid of them." But they easily insinuated that she meant they would be murdered and disappeared. Seems to fit the narratives pushed by a lot of those involved. If there is ever an Airline that employs hot 20 year olds that wear lingerie, and will "massage" you - sign me up.
I think Cooper just made it up. But when someone becomes public enemy number one, it's really open season on their reputation and the most outrageous claims emerge to muddy the waters.
Ellen DeGeneres had this happen to her in 2020 and the most credible contemporaneous evidence found of Ellen's personal wickedness was that she supposedly emailed a restaurant owner to complain about the nails of a waitress.
