She tried to walk back the comments about the file being on her desk, except she made those comments multiple times on different shows. She promised results within days, then nothing. Suddenly there is no list, and right wing news shows are now even saying Epstein wasn’t a bad guy and was set up

Next itll be that there was no Epstein. He was made up by the Democrats who are secretly in cahoots with China or some shit

It will be technically correct. As in, no one has put all Epstein's client's names together in one group, so there has never been a (master) list.

We know that Prince Andrew is somewhere so there can't be zero clients.

There may never have been a full list, but there was a little black book from 2008 or so. It's a list of names and phone numbers. Donald Trump has four numbers listed.

The problem is, there were also arguably innocent people in that book as well. Epstein was a piece of shit, but he was a piece of shit who liked to give money to charity. He also liked to hang out with smart people, like actual scientists and such.

Just saying that by itself, the black book is fairly weak. Combined with other evidence, and it could be a client list.

That's how investigations normally work.

You take one piece of evidence, combine it with more evidence, and eventually you have a full case.

The Feds have the back book (and so does the internet, because it was leaked online). The feds also have a lot of video that I personally don't want to see, but it should be enough to connect at least a few names.

The fact that they refuse to connect any names means that Trump is in too many of those videos.
