As Matt reported earlier, the Department of Justice and FBI have concluded there’s no evidence Jeffrey Epstein kept a “client list,” blackmailed powerful individuals, or was murdered, according to a memo obtained by Axios. The latest update has infuriated those on the Right seeking new information about the Epstein case, particularly after a disappointing document drop in February from the DOJ that contained files already available to the public.

I understand wanting to know about Jeffrey Epstein etc. My concern is if they focus so much on this, the other concerns will go on the back burner and we have a lot more serious concerns. That is my two cents. . .

A bunch of FBI people need to be canned and replaced right now, today.
The same FBI can find 1200+ Jan6ers based on grainy security video from 100 yards away but can't identify any of the child rapists in full color 4k video taken in the same room.
Fire everyone.

Hundreds of very powerful people are doing EVERYTHING in their substantial powers to ensure that this info does not EVER see the public sphere.
And it seems that no matter who is put in charge, they are terrified of angering these very powerful people.

As some of us predicted. The swamp is protecting itself and we will never get the truth. All evidence has been hidden or destroyed and an entire government full of pedophiles is going to get away with it to protect the uniparty. Trump really has a lot of trouble finding an attorney general with even an ounce of integrity.
I am really beginning to regret my vote. Oh well. Why should this one be any different?

I have one more general comment. If you voted for Donald Trump because you were expecting to see what was on the Jeffrey Epstein client list, I have to wonder if you are one of those people glued to the sensationalized magazines. These are the tactics of the left - expose every ugly thing about another person but never dare to look in the mirror. If this really does infuriate people on the right, I am disappointed.

Why would a Trump Administration official leak something like this to Axios? In the middle of a holiday weekend, no less? It's now Monday morning so we should have something official to react to.

What about all those previous statements about having voluminous files sitting on Bondi's desk?
What about all those thousands of videos reported to exist?
Parsing words a la BJ Clinton?? What about Maxwell's evidence against her?
The time for transparency SCREAMS for NO MORE COVER UPS from government
Respect certain grand jury testimony of course, but when will the GUILTY be outed for the good of the people?
Mistrust in government is at an ALL TIME HIGH, especially with all the GRAFT, KICKBACKS< and CORRUPTION found by DOGE using taxpayer's hard earned dollars against citizens--

This is a bunch of useless drama from people salivating for some political gotcha moments. These girls were well old enough to know what they were doing. So were P Diddy’s sex toys. They weren’t victims. They were volunteers.

Two things. First, it surprises me that people like Patel and Bongino would willingly flush their reputations down the toilet while facing cameras and giving us a "trust me bro" vibe. Second, if indeed an Epstein "client list" cannot be found, that means such evidence has been well-concealed or destroyed. However, there are thousands of hours of video tape available.... form which a "list" can be easily compiled and eventually released. My advice to the DOJ is to do this.... or else expect to be on the receiving end, for decades, of the same sort of contempt that Congressional committee investigating JFK's murder received after proclaiming that a single "magic bullet" did the dirty deed to JFK.

About the girls, there is a reason that for the most part our system of justice does not accept the defense of underaged persons giving consent to sex. In addition some of our labor laws react unkindly to sexual harassment in the workplace. In that situation, the victims are adults but the law understands that there is an unfair use of power to get what is wanted. Again, there are situations where the victims are protected from unfair circumstances for good reason. The girls were underaged, and were dealing with some of the most powerful people in the world with more money than is imaginable, in a setting that was like something out of a fairy book. If our system of justice cannot protect the weakest among us then we are back to the might is right good old days.

Epstein got away with what was going on because powerful people on both sides of the political aisle were using his services. This is only more evidence of that.

I DISTINCTLY remember that a few weeks after Epstein's 'death' the FBI visited his island and took videos and other records. I don't remember the number but know it was many. Where are they, who has them? Actually, where is he? I think the Epstein mess is going to come back and haunt Patel and Bongino. They have changed their tune....lots. I really don't care about whether the Epstein information is out there but this just shows it is a cover up.

@10 Really, you have NO thoughts that most of our politicians are probably blackmailed in some way? You really believe that all of the girls there, were there of their own accord? Maxwell is in prison for totally consensual encounters? And if we are to believe the lying rats in the DOJ, they procured the girls just for themselves.
So to summarize, Maxwell and Epstein, procured totally of age, willing girls just for themselves and for this he killed himself and she is sitting in prison.
You TRULY believe this?

Then release all the files on the Epstein case - only redact information that would identify any of the then underage girls. And no #7 - I'm not at all interested in sensationalized magazines. Bondi and Co. hyped about releasing all the Epstein files and then nothing.

#1, this crap is not what we voted for. We thought this president was different from the rest. Obviously NOT. 1st Bondi had the list and now it does not exist. Not one of the Trump administration does anything without his approval. So, please tell me who are they or he protecting. My husband and I have a very good guess who. If he will lie about this what else would he lie about......a lot!
#1, this is call voter remorse. I should have just sat home election day.

An addendum to #12: Peter Schweizer and his podcast assistant today guest-hosted the Sean Hannity show, and they noted that JP Morgan bank handed over documentary evidence of transactions between Epstein and his "clients" in 2019. The bank did this in order to be absolved of charges of being an accessory to racketeering. That evidence has not been destroyed and is not now *missing* -- as has allegedly happened to some of the videotaped evidence. These bank records may not cover every "client" but it surely covers a good percentage of them.

The FBI and the DOJ are still full of deep-staters and have been engaged in criminal activity since the Obama administration. You can change the leadership but that doesn't immediately change the culture.

Bongino, Patel and Bondi air information with the sincerity of a hostage tape. I'm not saying you shouldn't be scared. I'm just saying you're lying to us.
A gaggle of billionaires was documented in a white slavery sting involving young children. Period. Enough information leaked through their clenched fists to reveal their crimes to a moral certain but not a legal one. Now we're supposed to walk away...
Occum's Razor has been beaten so hard against the billionaires' Fire Wall it wouldn't cut butter.

Ditto Reply 12. Methinks a semantics game is in play = "...FBI have concluded there’s no evidence Jeffrey Epstein kept a “client list,” OK, Epstein didn't, but can't a list be made from the videos or will they disappear?

Add me to the list of infuriated!!!
I don't care how disruptive it would be...even if we lost half of congress in this reveal. They are protecting perverts and telling themselves it is for the good of the country. This is a familiar technique, like hiding the truth about the JFK assassination. I am sick to death of politicians thinking they know what the public can handle.
Well they are not protecting underage children from perverts - they will continue with that activity unabated.
It may very well be Maxwell's client list, but they know who went there and abused those kids. If they didn't destroy it, they have the video evidence.
As to those who think it is not important, THIS is the key to taking down the deep state!

Sure the administration is going gangbusters on the economy but the problem we are facing is a moral one. The President campaigned on this issue. He promised to release this information and believes we will be appeased by a closed border and humming economy. I am sorry, but I will not. The root of our problem in this government is a rotten stinking moral cancer that has been left to metastasize for decades. John Adams was right, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” Either we face the moral decay in the heart of this government or it won’t matter how great the country becomes, we will still be on the slippery slope of destruction. We cannot ignore this. It will eventually destroy us. Sexual depravity has destroyed many civilizations in the past and we are not exempt.

A previous poster is on target. Bondi is corrupt. She's got "stuff" hanging over her head from the George Zimmerman / Trayvon Martin case. See: https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/11/21/president-trump-nominates-pam-bondi-for-u-s-attorney-general-the-deep-swamp-smiles/

There must be some big names on that list for Bondi & FBI to go from the list is on my desk and thousands of tapes to review to no tapes and client list. Which politicans, foreign and domestic are on it? Which Hollywood type are on it?

The Epstein case is a perfect example of not being able to tell fact from fiction. This was intentional so they could hide the truth. Our shadow government in action. If they could, they would make Trump a puppet just like Biden (and Obama, Clinton, and the Bushes). Who runs Washington? Answer: Not us.

Some of you guys have gotta be kidding. Why believe ANYTHING a politician says? They are ALL sleaze balls and spend their time making backroom nod/nod wink/wink deals. Their words mean NOTHING except they are usually examples of artful or cleverly-worded dodges that they hope will have disappeared by the next news cycle. Case in point: "Client lists could not be found." You bet they couldn't. But the question is WHEN couldn't they be found? Now? Well, we kinda expected that. Does anybody really know what exactly IS a "client list?" These triumphant whatever-bags cover for each other because in the end, politics is all about who's got what dirt on whom. Don't believe me? Think back to PIAPS' discovery of "FBI files"under her bed. It didn't matter if such files actually existed---it was just the THOUGHT that they MIGHT. Uh oh. What did Hillary know about? Hillary showed us exactly how they all operate. Nothing's changed, nor will it. It's impossible to make sense of nonsense.

We are in agreement with #29. What good is peace and prosperity if our society, our nation, our government is immoral and hiding dirty laundry that should be brought out to the cleansing light of revelation? We expect our govt. to be moral and righteous but in this case, they are letting down their people who want answers. What is this govt. hiding?

This is getting worse and worse every day. Remember Nixon's "crime"? It was small potatoes, but the cover-up brought him down. This is definitely big potatoes – huge potatoes – and it could very well bring Trump down.

My comments were from yesterday so I am going to comment for today. We have no idea what is going on here but I want to point out one thing. It concerns me about how much violence is going on with the liberals attacking ICE agents etc. Releasing all of this right now could bring about a lot more violence. There have been 2-3 attempts on Donald Trump's life already - I am more concerned for him. I would hope his supporters would be too.

This is my last comment. I think a lot of people have been so caught up in the current scenario that they have forgotten some of the history of this whole situation. I am beside myself when on another article I see #38/#39 question the possibility of Donald Trump being on the Jeffrey Epstein client list. Even more so because Elon Musk insinuated the same thing.
So here goes and I will admit my memory is fuzzy on details because I haven't researched dates etc. I do know that back in 2011/2012/2013 when Obama was President of the USA, Jeffrey Epstein was acquitted of all charges. Or even the charges were dropped. Don't remember. It wasn't until Donald Trump became President of the USA in 2016, that the Jeffrey Epstein case was being revisited and was the reason why he was in jail. So let me ask every one of you - if Donald Trump was on that list, wouldn't he have just let the acquittal stand? I imagine about now because of the way everyone is reacting, Donald Trump is probably sorry he revisited the whole deal. . . enough said.

#29 ~ In complete agreement regarding the morality of this country. However, reflecting on President Trump’s first term and actions thus far in his second term, firmly believe he is an absolute patriot in pursuit of the best interests for this country and makes every effort to work within the letter of the law with utmost integrity. There are times in life when an individual has an absolute conviction about wanting to do something that brings closure to a persistently frustrating situation only to learn in pursuit of facts that those facts, if exposed, could endanger people and country so it may become necessary to take slings and arrows to protect the lives of people behind-the-scenes and/or country.
While personally not interested in any facet of the Epstein sleaze, it is not possible to totally escape media sensationalism and the anxiety of morally upright people wanting to see justice served. Perhaps, confronted with possibly having found the depth and breadth of the Epstein “web” has presented a moral dilemma for key individuals wanting to keep a promise versus facing the reality of holding the lives/safety of people and country in their hands—to sacrifice the safety of people and country to maintain personal morality, or to take evasive measures attempting to avoid disaster that could, if successful, result in a stunning victory and security of citizens and country. ??? “The Art of War, by Sun Tzu” ???

here's what little we recall: ms maxwell's father was a spy for multiple organisations of the usual ilk. he got deded, iirc.
through her life, he forced his daughter into many shady roles, chiefest of which was the easiest-honey pots for the great and good... pervs to the trade, and to the crown, in child sex trafficking.
those roles for ms maxwell were repeated in her dealings with mr ep, one expects, who may or not be deded...
due to these expensive operations in pimping and spying, ms m. finds herself in the klink, as a minister without
portfolio:
no inventory of 'products to sell' no records no 'johns' no lists, cases or trials ; but, yes, some young girls deded.

And this is why the thought of any 3 letter agency being reformed without massive firings, prosecutions, and jail sentences is all a pipe dream. A joke even.
