AXIOS: DOJ, FBI conclude Epstein had no "client list," died by suicide (7/7/2025)

[quote]As social media influencers and activists, Kash Patel (now the FBI's director) and Dan Bongino (now deputy director) were among those in MAGA world who questioned the official version of how Epstein died.

[quote]Patel and Bongino have since said Epstein killed himself. But it has become an article of faith online, especially on the right, that Epstein's crimes also implicated government officials, celebrities and business leaders — and that someone killed him to conceal them.

[quote]The memo says no one else involved in the Epstein case will be charged. (Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for child sex trafficking and related offenses.)

[…]

[quote]Investigators found "no incriminating 'client list' " of Epstein's, "no credible evidence ... that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals," and no "evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties," the memo adds.

[…]

[quote]When Elon Musk had a falling out with Trump last month, Musk accused the president of being "in the Epstein files."

[quote]Trump posted on Truth Social a statement from former Epstein lawyer David Schoen, saying Trump wasn't implicated in any crime. Schoen had also represented Trump in his first impeachment trial.

[…]

[quote]Still, the questions about whether Trump's name is in the government's Epstein files have persisted because they had been acquaintances who attended the same parties in the 1990s.

[quote]In a 2017 interview with author Michael Wolff, Epstein even claimed that at one point he was "Donald Trump's closest friend."

[quote]Trump, however, said in 2019 that he was "not a fan of Epstein" and hadn't "spoken to him for 15 years." He also said he had barred Epstein from his golf resorts in the early 2000s.

[quote][bold]The DOJ and FBI say in the memo that no "further disclosure" of Epstein-related material "would be appropriate or warranted.”[/bold]

[quote]The memo says much of the material relates to child sexual abuse, details of Epstein's victims, and information that would expose innocent individuals to "allegations of wrongdoing."

[quote]"Through this review, we found no basis to revisit the disclosure of those materials and will not permit the release of child pornography," the memo says.

Sure, okay, sounds legit.

[quote]The administration is releasing a video — in both raw and "enhanced" versions — that it says indicates no one entered the area of the Manhattan prison where Epstein was held the night he died in 2019.

[quote]The video supports a medical examiner's finding that Epstein died by suicide, the two-page memo claims.

[quote]According to the memo, investigators closely examined footage of Epstein's Manhattan prison cell between around 10:40 pm on Aug. 9, 2019, when Epstein was locked in his cell, and around 6:30 am the next day, when he was found unresponsive.

[quote]The footage, which was reviewed by Axios but couldn't be verified independently, showed no one entering the area, the administration said.

[quote]"The FBI enhanced the relevant footage by increasing its contrast, balancing the color, and improving its sharpness for greater clarity and viewability," the memo says.

Golly, I remember Pam Bondi going on TV just a couple of months ago and telling the world she was in possession of the Epstein client list and was going through it.

Suddenly, there's no client list! Golly, how did that happen?

by Anonymousreply 6July 7, 2025 10:46 AM

So Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in prison for helping Epstein traffic...no one?

by Anonymousreply 7July 7, 2025 10:47 AM

I'll admit it. I didn't expect them to go "There is no list" after years of people talking about the list. It's a bit frightening that they are comfortable with going with such a brazen lie instead of releasing something redacted or whatever.

Exactly, R7, I hope she’s calling up her lawyers before she “commits suicide” too.

Useful to sow simmering doubt though, to rile the official felon. Then again, nothing - nothing - ever seems to harm Trump. He's always behaved as though untouchable, and wildly annoyed when his deal with Satan is challenged.

Epstein didn't have the cards!

R5 Mossad has them probably, the US secret services or both. ( I am not some nut who believes that "the Jews" control us. There are many indications that point into the direction that Epatein was a plant and the system they let him build was an elaborate trap. How he ever become a hedge fund manager is wild, and how he got the first chunk of money to play with even more so. There are tons of posts and videos about it - dig into that rabbit hole yourself. Anyway: it is plausible that this is bigger than what we see. I am also co Vince's that Trump is no aupervillain in this but a useful idiot with his own interest in covering this up. Which of course absolutely goes into the direction the ones who set up the Epstein system want it to go .

by Anonymousreply 20July 7, 2025 11:47 AM

Oh, so the FBI and DOJ, according, to Bondi and Patel has been awash with politics, corruption and incompetence, but now that the evidence gathered by those same Bozos doesn't implicate Trump, suddenly they have all the credibility in the world.

Got it.

So Pam (“I’ve got the effing List, assholes!) Bondi suddenly realized that if she just released pages 321 (Bill Clinton) and 455 (Prince Andrew), people weren’t necessarily gonna believe that the intervening 134 pages (DJT, soaked in urine) were either all empty or just Epstein’s cookie recipes.

by Anonymousreply 23July 7, 2025 12:14 PM

Maybe Epstein had a teen fetish which didn’t really involve blackmailing others. Maybe not all the celebrities he was involved with had the same fetish. Maybe some were ok with sex with young women but not minors. All the names of those involved are out there already. I’m not sure what some magical list would prove.

We all saw the FBI raiding Epsteins' townhouse and removing boxes and boxes of sized evidence.

This is just pure gas lighting.

My hope is that some hacker or brave individual leaks all of it.

And expect that blond Christian spokescunt will get the Tulsi treatment.

I truly don’t care about anything Epstein related. But it is sad that I now reflexively believe the opposite of any ‘conclusions’ that come out of this DOJ & FBI. I never felt this before. How far we have fallen as a country.

R32 Well, it certainly doesn't help that Pam Bondi publicly stated she had the Epstein list and was reviewing it, and now she's saying a list doesn't exist.

R32 wait a second... You trusted any secret service in the first place? Anywhere in the world? Not only is their very purpose to do things in secret and lie about it, they always did their own thing and perousefully misled the public, even the representatives. Abu Greib? The NSU murders in Germany? Stalin's, Ceaucescu's, Putin's machine, .. (Putin, who his secret service likely got into power with a false flag operation) ... Before I believe anything a spokesperson of any secret service says, I would believe the pope.

That is SO preposterous. Everybody and their grandma know there is a client list and that was not even part of the conversation. Never. What was part of the conversation was who was on it and who wasn't. If anything the whole DOJ FBI denial only reinforces the idea that Trump IS indeed in this list. Even the MAGA hordes can see right through this BS.

I think the magats are mad because they were hoping the list would take down the Clintons and maybe Obama or just any democrat on their shit list.
