The Epstein Files and a new Grift S5E16 02.09.2026
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today we have two questions from listeners. First, Carl from Palm Beach, Florida writes, OK, this seems even crazier for Trump, he’s suing the IRS for 10 billion dollars because some contractor released his tax returns. He seems to think he can sue anyone. The IRS, the BBC, and now even Harvard. None of these lawsuits is on behalf of the American people but for his own enrichment. Do any of these lawsuits have a chance? How can Trump sue an agency within his own area of purview? Sounds like a conflict of interest to me.
And next from:
Samantha from Casper, Wyoming writes, " Well, the DOJ released more Epstein files. With all that is going on, it seems rather anticlimactic. Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Richard Branson, and a host of other economic and political elites are among the list of people mentioned in the 3 million documents released the other day. And there are still another 3 million still left to be seen. It’s being reported that Trump is mentioned more than 4,000 times. Congress has subpoenaed the Clintons. They have finally agreed, but want their testimony to be in an open session. My first question is, why would the Clintons want this? Secondly, isn’t Clinton immune from prosecution according to the SCOTUS ruling about Presidential immunity? Finally, why are no Republicans, including Trump, being targeted by Congress for testimony? He seems to have a lot more “shit on his stick” than many of those Congress wants to talk to.
