Why Epstein's Lawyers Went to the CIA
The important info is in the first nine minutes before the ad. Everything after the ad reiterates points already made.
On this explosive episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, Tara examines newly released records showing Epstein's attorneys formally requesting CIA and NSA files to prove his "affiliation" between 1999 and 2011—even after his 2008 conviction—prompting Glomar responses that neither confirm nor deny classified records. The discussion uncovers Epstein's meetings with former CIA Director William Burns, a former clandestine officer's take on informal networking and assistance, and a chilling warning from Epstein's Russian-born bodyguard about a week-long visit to Langley during Epstein's jail time. The episode widens the lens to global dimensions, including Poland's probe into Epstein's ties to Moscow-linked figures, positioning him as a hyper fixer who brokered access for elites, foreign governments, and intelligence while leveraging secrets and blackmail. In collaboration with the Don Lemon Show, Tara and Don dissect the latest document revelations, victim testimonies highlighting ages as young as nine, extensive mentions of Donald Trump, survivor advocacy including Capitol Hill appearances, and why the system may have shielded Epstein because he provided unique value—turning justice failures into features of power protection.
