Epstein never created a “client list.”

Scott Adams, who generally has excellent insight on this type of thing, says Epstein would have been stupid to maintain a client list. Whatever they are withholding, it's not Epstein's client list, which never existed in all likelihood.

Trump’s stonewalling indicates he is being untruthful, MEGA knows it and is not giving it up so it will cause many to just stay home come mid-terms... Maybe he wants an impeachment...

What is not explained is how Epstein went from being a Math teacher to a fabulously wealthy individual who could buy and build what was on his island and consort with the world’s elite and powerful and wealthy.

“Epstein’s client list”

It has been alleged that Epstein was gathering blackmail material on powerful people.

This material has been thought to include videotapes.

Read up on the Leon black, Apollo, and Epstein saga. You can start to see how it works.

Btw, did trump just happen to read an article by Ben black and decide to hire him to handle billions and billions of dollars?

Given the lengths trump is going to for the protection of Epstein I have to wonder.

Also because the Democrats were in power for four years do you think if there were “Client lists” that incriminated any big wheels in both parties available and there was no action to “cleanse them”?

A judge sealing evidence only precludes its public disclosure.

This does NOT prevent the FBI and DOJ using that evidence to track down perps and issue indictments.

They do not need the victim’s permission and, given the video evidence (which Bondi has described as hundred of hours of child pornography), they won’t even need the victim’s testimony. Any reference to the ID of the victims could continue to be withheld publicly.

Epstein’s blackmail operation would be useless unless the video was clear enough to identify the perps, otherwise, they’d say “you can’t make me out in that!” and not subscribe to the blackmail.

SO the fact that they are not pursuing any charges is because they don’t want to.

The swamp has won. They’re just holding off a bit until Trump leaves office.

Then we will be totally screwed.

And so will Trump, and those working with him, because they will have no reason not resume the lawfare as punishment when he leaves office.

The only way to stop THAT is to hit back at the swamp - use the Epstein perps to begin tracing the blackmail op back to the government.

I don’t think we’re ever going to know the truth about Epstein and his so-called “list”, or what he was really up to. Powerful people know, and will do whatever they have to to slowly sweep this under a rug.

Biden and the autopen- that has seriously damaged this country. That, and Mayorkas’ actions in government under Biden. I’m not saying to drop Epstein all together, but we need to go after the bigger fish.

MEGA knows it

MEGA? "Make Epstein Great Again"?

Surely you know by now that the actual Trump acronym is MAGA.

Nutjob Rich Waspy Chatsworth is off his meds again .
These so called Epstein files were gutted years ago and 4 years under
Pres Dr Evil Jill made useless .
There was no grocery store list of culprits .
The data is old now now and what could be realistically done with it .
Charge whom with what ?
Its would take years to redact thousands of Innocent names etc.. in these tapes . Bondi could of discussed all these facts but she not the bright person . I think all the myth building created by thousands of bloggers and Tucker types created a monster of facts and lies . G Maxwells address big book feeds the fire but she was born a rich Brit elite who had lots of fellow elite acquaintances . The mob wanted blood and ticked there will be no witch trials and hangings . I am more worried about the H1B visas push by Trumps pals .
