    I think its so funny that all the most conspiracy brained conspiracy guys on the planet have decided this is the one conspiracy that’s actually not true because if it was even remotely true their orange prince would be lying to them and that’s not an option.

    I know I heard the conspiracy somewhere online that Epstein worked for Massod and Israel has blackmail material on many world leaders. That is why the US and UK are spending so much money on them. Even after trump stopped funding everywhere else.

    The more I hear about this cover up the more I think that’s true.

    So Epstein had a client list and blackmailed associates.

    Remember folks. Whatever a fascist says, the opposite is true.

    No mystery this comes out now. With the push to release all the files at the beginning of the year…then Elon claiming Trump is all over the files (we knew that), and now…“Nothing to see here”

    Pure clown show.

    It makes sense that there would be no evidence considering they almost certainly destroyed all of it the second they got their hands on it.

      It’s actually much more valuable when kept around for blackmail and fun things of that sort. Only once everybody in power in dead or stripped of it will anybody genuinely try and bring any of it to the public

    It’s funny because this is a conspiracy theory that both liberals and MAGA absolutely believe in despite the total lack of any evidence (besides, “you know” or “c’mon, of course there is”).

      According to a ruling by US District Judge Kenneth Marra in February 2019, “from between about 1999 and 2007, Jeffrey Epstein sexually abused more than 30 minor girls…at his mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, and elsewhere in the United States and overseas.” The ruling goes on to describe a child sex ring: “In addition to his own sexual abuse of the victims, Epstein directed other persons to abuse the girls sexually. Epstein used paid employees to find and bring minor girls to him. Epstein worked in concert with others to obtain minors not only for his own sexual gratification, but also for the sexual gratification of others.”

        His sex trafficking is not the conspiracy. The conspiracy is that there has been a massive cover-up.

          From the same article:

          The United States also agrees that it will not institute any criminal charges against any potential co-conspirators of Epstein, including but not limited to Sarah Kellen, Adriana Ross, Lesley Groff, or Nadia Marcinkova.

      So there was definitely sex trafficking of minors. There were definitely many people involved other than Epstein and Maxwell. There was more than enough evidence to convict both of them, but the DOJ declined to pursue any charges against any of those other many people. Epstein died in prison with extremely questionable circumstances. Pam Bondi said on TV she had the list on her desk, but now they are saying a list doesn’t exist. There are thousands of photos and videos in evidence, but the DOJ will not release that evidence to any other prosecutors.

      There is a lack of evidence of a cover-up because all of the evidence has been covered up.

            For Epstein of course. They’re trying to claim the buck stops there while the dude had a private island and jet that he used to bring friends and clients to (like his “best friend” Donald Trump)

              I mean, it seems likely something is being covered up. In court it was alluded to that Maxwell wasn’t just trafficking for Epstein. If that’s the case, there were other clients and that info hasn’t been released.

      Pam Bondi said the list was on her desk to review. Then suddenly there was never a list. I wouldn’t call that a “total lack of evidence”.

      I’m leaning toward believing it since we know Trump is a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist.

      Benefit of the doubt is important. It’s best not to lose it.
