The Inside Scoop on Jeffrey Epstein
Wall Street Journal ^ | July 15, 2025 1:01 pm ET | Alan Dershowitz

Posted on 07/19/2025 12:37:48 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

I was his lawyer. I know things that court orders won’t allow me to disclose.

I was Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyer. I know the facts, some of which I can’t disclose because it is privileged or subject to court-imposed sealing orders. But what I can disclose makes several important things clear:

Epstein never created a “client list.” The FBI interviewed alleged victims who named several “clients.” These names have been redacted. They should be disclosed but the courts have ordered them sealed. I know who they are. They don’t include any current officeholders. We don’t know whether the accusations are true. The courts have also sealed negative information about some of the accusers to protect them. Neither the Justice Department nor private defense lawyers are free to disregard court sealing orders. The media can and should petition the courts for the release of all names and information so the public can draw its own conclusions.

There has also been speculation about incriminating videos taken by hidden cameras in Epstein’s guest bedrooms. There are videotapes, but they are of public areas of his Palm Beach, Fla., home. Epstein reported the theft of money and a licensed firearm from a drawer in his living room, so the police installed a video camera. I am not aware of video cameras in guest bedrooms.

Open records show an acquaintance between Epstein and Mr. Trump many years ago. That relationship ended when Mr. Trump reportedly banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago, long before becoming president. I have seen nothing that would suggest anything improper or even questionable by Mr. Trump.

Yes they do!
But conspiracy theorizes confirm confirmation biases and besides they’re more fun!

Lawyers lie and twist the truth and facts for a living ....

Not a “client list”? An untitled blackmail list then.

If it looks like a duck ....

We look like Rome before the fall and when it comes there will be a whole lotta quacking and Peking duck served.

I believe no one at this point. I think we have “arrived” but most just refuse to see it. Whatever. I accept that I can change nothing.

I think it was a blackmail operation.
I don’t know who benefited or ran it, but someone was

This is getting to be Bigfoot or Loch Ness Monster level stuff Pam Bondi would not destroy her career covering a list of pedophiles if she had one. People who buy the conspiracy don’t realize the people who traveled in the circles Epstein did could easily fly to countries where underage girls are easily available like an Amsterdam. If say a Prince Andrew wanted a 15 year old there are plenty of places in Europe he could get one no questions asked

Warning: Do not accuse Dersch of anything bad—or he will sue you—and win!

I’m waiting for this year’s “Christiane Blasey” Ford to appear.

A woman, now around 40, born between 1980-87, comes forward saying Trump and Epstein raped her in the 90s. The media will break out the old phrase “Trump has been credibly accused” and of course he was sued civilly for sexual abuse and lost.

This explains why Trump is angry with some of his base (not trusting him) and why he’s letting the speculation build to a frenzy.

This is going to be good one, the trap has been set and the bait has been taken.

And there were, for several years at least, no questions asked about Epstein and the goings-on at his properties.

Who could doubt the Dersh?

___________________________________

I could. The rumours are strong that in fact Dersh was also a frequent visitor to Pedo Island.

AI..... During legal proceedings, Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s accusers, alleged that Dershowitz was involved in misconduct. Dershowitz fought these allegations in court, and after a legal settlement in 2022, Giuffre withdrew her claims and stated she may have been mistaken in identifying him. Dershowitz has cited this as a full exoneration.

_____________________________

In other word Dersh paid her off. Paid her to keep quiet.

It a shame that Dershowitz chose the Wall Street Urinal (WSU) for this. I now put the WSU in the same stack as Mediaite, MSLSD, CNN, ET AL.

So why would a wealthy person goto Epstein Island? The man did claim he cofounded the Clinton Foundation and even after his first go around with authorities his right hand woman got an exclusive invite to Chelsea’s wedding funny how that works
