I got to think that such a list was destroyed long ago. If not before the FIWH's (Felon In The White House) 2nd term, then early in the second term.
Got to think right now the emphasis is on toughing it out until some other egregious act finally supplants any push to do something about Epstein. Or Roberts, Alito and company somehow bails his ass out.
Just a couple of years ago, he was storing top secret files in a bathroom of his dump in Florida. Seemed like a sure ticket to the hoosegow. Instead he wormed out of that and into the White House.
Can't imagine he would not have had such evidence long ago destroyed.

(191,705 posts)Why would he write it down separately? Did he have material to blackmail? Yes without a doubt but I doubt hed have some sort actual list.
One could be compiled Id think but I doubt hed had one.

(5,972 posts)A list would be evidence against him. And a list doesn't prove anything, regardless of who is on it.

(60,429 posts)Now, if DOJ created a list based on any "proof" contained in the Epstein stuff, it would be only as good as the threshold of proof needed to put someone on the list. In addition, if the Trump DOJ created that list under Bondi, I assume it would have been "cleaned" of any MAGA ally.

(126,278 posts)as a procurer with a client list, like the madam of a brothel. Instead, he recruited girls, with the help of Maxwell, for his own proclivities and "shared" them with his rich friends at parties and on his island. There is likely to be evidence relating to who participated in Epstein's activities in the form of photos, videos, notes and receipts, some of which are already public. There is likely to be other evidence which has not been seen but could have been produced at Epstein's trial, had there been one. It has been reported that Epstein installed hidden cameras throughout his properties and that he kept CDs locked in a safe labeled with names of girls and their "partners." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Epstein. This is the stuff he could have intended for leverage and blackmail, and is probably more incriminating than mere client lists.

(6,650 posts)It's unlikely that Epstein ever created a document titled, "My List Of People That I Might Blackmail". So, when Bondi says that no such list was found, it's probably true in the strictest sense.

(8,206 posts)I suspect the list was actually Epsteins black book which was released years ago.
Whats missing is an itemized spreadsheet of the videotapes. I bet thats what his crew wants - the names of perps committing the crimes. THAT list will most certainly be fabricated with whatever names Trump wants on there

She mentions " contact list" that could be from phone or email contacts, a bunch of innocent folks maybe?
Then she mentions "Client list" that could be from his business clients, maybe some more no-nothings?
Or a list of the child predators?
She does mention she would keep everything in confidence
Between the first 2 there may be some trafficking customers. But I believe there are bunch of wealthy and important folks on both lists that they cant prove jack crap about and dont want to get them out in public

(68,901 posts)it exists, and this story is not going away. There are a number of people on Epstein's list, be it Republicans and Democrats, Billionaires, and of course Donald Trump (he's a sexual predator and abuser). Women and young girls are the targets, these are sick damaged white men.
Show the list!!!!!
