Is the 'Epstein client list' scandal overblown? After days of reported infighting, a presidential scolding, and a general sense that no one knows how to handle it, a surprising voice has emerged to declare that there's no real scandal at all.
A few days ago, Alan Dershowitz claimed that the evidence in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal really did exist, because he had access to it. "I know the names of the individuals, I know why they're being suppressed. I know who's suppressing them," Dershowitz told Sean Spicer, "but I'm bound by confidentiality from a judge and cases, and I can't disclose what I know. But, hand to God, I know the names of people whose files are being suppressed in order to protect them, and that's wrong."
That comment got misinterpreted by some to mean that the Department of Justice and Pam Bondi had suppressed an Epstein client list for reasons unknown. Over the last few days, though, Dershowitz has clarified his argument significantly -- and says the problem isn't the DoJ at all. And Dershowitz says he knows for a fact that the "Epstein client list" is a media myth:
Dershowitz, in an extensive interview Monday with Newsmax's "The Record With Greta Van Susteren," also commented that he has "seen the names" of people accused of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein, and that there "are lists of names," but "there's nobody currently serving in office" among them, so the controversy over a list is a "nothing-burger."
"I don't think you can fault Pam Bondi or the Justice Department," when it comes to releasing any redacted or sealed materials, Dershowitz told Van Susteren. "They don't have the authority to release this redacted material or the sealed material. I think — I can't know this for sure — that they've released everything that they are able to release."…
What a crock of shit
You should vote only for Democrats now. That’ll show ‘em.
Release the secretly filmed pron tapes.
Some C-A-L-M analysis - at last. We all need to calm down about this.
DOJ: There is no client list, but we have a list of clients. ?????????
.....and the porn tapes, too......!!!!!
“”there’s nobody currently serving in office” among them, so the controversy over a list is a “nothing-burger.””
WOW! That man just lost a ton of credibility. No matter how long he talks, he can’t undo what he said earlier. Yeah - there’s a list of this and a list of that but no client list!!?? I’m glad I missed him on Cuomo last night as that would have been very irritating and a total waste of time. I was watching the Home Run Derby which wasn’t either.
Interesting interview with a lawyer who met with Epstein nine days before his death:

[less than 40 minutes]
Why is that a crock of shit?
...and I dated Farrah Fawcett.
A media myth that will never die on FR.
I know many dislike Alan for his leftist politics.
One thing, though, I personally would trust Dershovitz. He has come out on a considerable number of matters on the correct side of the constitution even when it was “inconvenient” for his Democrappic party colleagues. and Even when it has caused him to be shunned or insulted by them.
Having said that, I can’t quite figure out what he’s saying here. It seems logical that there is a list, or at least that there WAS a client list at one time (given how people visited the subject “spa” — nobody could possibly remember all their names and phone numbers to invite them)
I figure that whatever list existed has long since been destroyed, which points to either the CIA/DeepState or else HilLIARy bought herself a gallon of White-Out or bleach on her Amazon account>
‘ Some C-A-L-M analysis - at last. We all need to calm down about this.’
Calm? He’s on the damn list! This is self protection, not analysis.
Obviously, some very highly placed individuals were screwing young girls on the island and videos were made without their knowledge. Some person or persons have those videos.
The only logical conclusion.
This might go away, but only for a time.
By the way, where are the several hundred thousand mussing ‘migrant’ children??
This whole thing is straight from the pit of hell.
Ironically, that statement can be entirely true.
Epstein may not have kept a client list but one could be constructed through research, investigation and surveillance.
“missing”
“”there’s nobody currently serving in office” among them, so the controversy over a list is a “nothing-burger.””
WOW - that man just lost a lot of credibility in my book..No one currently serving in office so it’s meaningless?? There are lists of this and lists of that but no client list? Maybe Dershowitz himself is on the list that doesn’t exist..
I don’t care how long he talks, he can’t undo what he said days ago. I don’t think even Adam Schiff tried to walk back his “I have evidence” line that badly. I’m glad I didn’t see Dershowitz on Cuomo last night as that would have been irritating and a waste of time. I was watching the Home Run Derby which was neither.
Ghislaines trial had her 100 page ‘little black book’ with 2000+ names reviewed by the judge who said the names would remain private.
That verified it’s existence.
