    I’m confused. Epstein definitely did the crimes of trafficking children to be raped by wealthy people.

    Why would a client list not be a real?

      I think it’s very possible there isn’t an actual “client list”.

      I think it’s more about making a list of visitors to the island that have somehow supported Epstein around that time.

      “Have some fun on my island. Also, can you help me get a loan and this bill passed?”

        I fully expected there to be a safe somewhere full of blackmail dossiers. Though I’m sure that has been put to the torch by now, if it ever existed. The best we can do now is compile lists from secondary sources.

          Blackmail dossiers would also contribute to determining clients yeah. So flight logs, weird lobby stuff, suspicious messages, mysterious meetings, statements from children and wives of these men, etc.

      Even if there isn’t a document with a big header that says “Client List” and firm documentation of what crimes were committed, we know there are flight logs, there are victim statements, and there are records of financial transactions.

      That is absolutely enough to bring charges against at least some of these people. We are accepting a false narrative that there has to be some chiseled in stone singular document listing bad actors.

      Because Epstein didn’t have a file in excel called “client list”, but there are trusted sources that when put together create a pedophile list.
