Stephen King torn apart over 'sickening' Jeffrey Epstein take
Daily Mail ^ | 18 July 2025 | J. Peterson

Posted on 07/18/2025 6:30:28 PM PDT by nickcarraway

There's nothing to see here, folks. At least that's what Stephen King is saying when it comes to the existence of Jeffrey Epstein's rumored client list. The prolific author sparked backlash from his followers on X (formerly Twitter) this week after sharing a condescending post about convicted sex offender Epstein.

'The Epstein client list is real. So is the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus,' he posted on Tuesday.

Later that day, the 77-year-old followed it up with, 'Boy, I hit a nerve with that Epstein post. The 'list' is like UFOs: Everyone knows someone who's seen one.' The second post also contained two crying-laughing emojis.

Epstein was guilty as hell, as are all kinds of well-known names who partook of his offerings. That said, the idea that the Deep State has kept a list around and are just biting their nails in fear of someone releasing it outside of their control is just bizarre. The Trump Admin has handled this very poorly, but that doesn’t mean there’s a trustworthy list just waiting to be released to us.

The source of that "belongs to intelligence" quote is a July 2019 Daily Beast article, and it strongly looks to be second or third-hand information -- also known as “hearsay” -- not a direct “statement” from Alex Acosta. It’s never been corroborated anywhere else.

Look, if you think Trump and Vance and Patel and Bongino are covering up for a child rape gang, then just say it. Personally, I think you people are absolutely bonkers. Epstein was a half-retard pedo piece of shit and got what he deserved. I'm sure there are others who partook in his disgusting games, but none of them are currently elected officials or other in high government.

Of course, you won't believe any of this and you'll continue to throw out questions about obscure events that took place 18 years ago. You can drive yourself crazy with this nonsense. I couldn't care less.

It’s not really about a list. Some of the black books have been made public. Business Insider as a searchable data base of one of them. Lots of names and addresses. So what?

If Tulsa Gabbard can purportedly find all kinds of smoking guns about Obama that Dem administrations didn’t think to eradicate then don’t try to tell me all evidence on Epstein is gone.

Start with Alex Acosta. He is still alive.
Treasury has an Epstein file. Cooperate with the Senate finance committee.
Find out of if the CIA intervened in 2008.

There are avenues that can be pursued.

Did you miss the part where I said that the Trump transition team will know if Acosta said it. IF he said it, it doesn’t mean it is true. He might have been using it as excuse for what he did because what he did is pretty bad. He couldnt even hang on to his Cabinet position and we don’t even know all the details yet.

That is part of the investigation.

You can turn a blind eye to what Bush Administration did but I am not going to do that. Don’t gaslight me.

Something very wrong went on. If Trump wants transparency then he should find out.

There are lots of lists. There is a ton of information out there about this guy. But some huge gaps as well. He had a black book with names and numbers. That’s a list. He knew lots of people, many wealthy or well connected. He put people together on “above board” arrangements as he was a donor to museums and to Harvard he could make a call and get a meeting with university department heads and professors. He could arrange lunches and dinners with Rich and powerful and significantly poorer intellectuals who wanted to be nearer the moneyed donor classes. He had a log of people who flew on his private jet. There are things that are maybe not “ lists” in the traditional sense, but maybe 1000 tapes of people who visited one or more of his homes for one of any possible reason. You could make a list of those names by watching video and writing down the names, it would be a huge list.

What people seem to want are “lists” of who did dirt. Well is there such a list? Even if you were a blackmailer would you keep such a list? I think you’d keep the evidence well hidden. I would like to know more about his money. He got big piles money from a couple of very wealthy people and that is suspicious. Why and how. Where did he invest it? Who else gave him money? Was he a money manager and if so there should be a client list of that. There should be investment statements and trading records and banking documents and investment firms vice presidents with lots of information about his money transactions. Where are those lists?

Some of this is already in the public domain. It’s been leaked or released in drips and drabs and maybe it’s not all in one giant database or website (but perhaps someone should do that). But for all we know we may be reading this backwards. He was definitely a scumbag. But maybe his actions are about as far as the child sex thing went. Sure he had an island and maybe lots of sex and cult activities occurred but how many of the activities were criminal? If two adults get freaky in front of a statue of Ra who cares? Maybe it’s a lot simpler and Trump is correct others created or exaggerated a fiction. Yes He was a scumbag but maybe he didn’t traffic young women to third parties - or at least not intentionally - if young women he was with also happened to meet some prince and something happened that’s horrible, but it wasn’t necessarily arranged to be that way. Say he just mainly used these girls for himself while simply enabling certain perfectly legal but completely bizarre activities (or mostly legal, with possibly some drug use and other illegal and unethical stuff but not sexually illegal). Which is blackmail material in itself, without having to be criminal or pedo stuff. Just bizarre and given the stature of many of these people they would want a place to conduct their perfectly legal rituals and were willing to pay a price to have them arranged.

Just a thought. Flame away if you want to.

Kudos to the Pam Bondi DOJ for launching this motion so quickly. Not to rain on it, but if you simply walked down the DOJ hallway to OPR and published the full Acosta transcript from 2020 where OPR asked about Epstein’s intelligence ties, you’d get us easy answers immediately

Also, can someone at DOJ just stand in front of a podium and tell us the results of the CIA name trace so we can at least stop worrying you didn’t even ask for it?

Senate Finance Committee is trying to look into some of what you mention. Their purview is tax evasion and money laundering.

I don’t give a damn if it is a Dem who has been on this trail since the Dechert report in 2022. Either cooperate or do the investigation yourself. Don’t gaslight the American public.

Leon black paid US virgin islands 62 million dollars and admitted that the 170 million he gave Epstein was used to further Epsteins crimes. Does that mean Leon Black knew what was taking place. Not necessarily. Senate Finance committee wants to know why Dechert failed to admit 12 millions dollars in their report.

But until we know more I sure don’t want his son running the DFC

Those that speak the loudest about something are usually guilty.

I think you were being too literal. It does not mean there is some kind of master list. It just means general evidence. If what everyone thinks is true there has to be some evidence. I don’t believe for a second that the deep state framed Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Clinton.

Epstein’s bank transfers at JPMorgan involved large cash withdrawals ($800K+/yr) and payments to victims/co-conspirators, flagged internally as suspicious but ignored, per 2023 lawsuits. USVI sued JPMorgan for enabling trafficking via these accounts (1998-2013); settled for $75M without admission. Evidence: Internal emails, SARs showing sex-trafficking links. No 2025 updates.

Grok @grok · Yes, partially: Court docs from 2023 USVI/JPMorgan lawsuits revealed some transfers (e.g., $800K+ cash withdrawals, payments to victims/co-conspirators). Full traceability requires subpoenas/SARs, not public. 2025 Wyden probe pushes for $1.5B docs release, but no full list yet.

“It’s not really about a list. Some of the black books have been made public. Business Insider as a searchable data base of one of them. Lots of names and addresses. So what?”

Proof positive that all you are doing and will always do is just keep moving the goalposts to ensure you will always be dissatisfied and a Les Miserables Freeper no matter what steps are taken to create more Epstein transparency.

For Les Miserables, it will never be enough.

I don’t care about a list. This goes deeper than a “list”

Again, you don’t have to care about money laundering, tax evasion, raping girls, and BUSH ADMIN LOOKING THE OTHER WAY.

Go post about what you care about.

But dont gaslight me and tell me there are no significant issues related to Epstein that need to be investigated.

oh, and btw, the more I research the seedier this gets. I wasn’t even aware of this Leon Black issue until Trump flipped out and flip flopped and I really starting digging.

So goal posts may move again the seedier this gets.

Mike Benz is right. They need to answer if they did a CIA name trace. if one hasn’t been done..WHY NOT????????????????

Look at you projecting, you the gaslighting expert, you!

I say: Investigate and reveal all

I also say: No matter what is revealed, you’ll just move the goalposts and yell, “lOoK A SqUIRreL!!!”

So I will say once again, I don’t care about a generic list.

Maxwell might have some lists stashed away so she doesnt get killed that I might care about.
