Elon Musk has said an Axios report that the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had concluded there was no evidence of a Jeffrey Epstein client list was the “final straw”.
The report also said the agencies had concluded there was no credible evidence the disgraced financier and pedophile blackmailed high-profile and prominent individuals, and confirmed that surveillance footage showed Epstein had killed himself in prison.
“So… umm… then what is Ghislaine Maxwell in prison for?” Musk posted to his X platform, referring to Epstein’s former girlfriend and associate who procured underage girls for him to abuse.
Honestly occam’s razor says that there is likely no amazing smoking gun detailing all these people and all the terrible things they did like the right (and beyond but hear me out) has been claiming without evidence for years, but rather there are probably just some travel logs that hint or imply if you squint hard enough and aren’t really that interesting or damning on their own. So now the conspiracy theorists control the White House and with it the flow of information, they have the opportunity to release the information they swear exists, and yet the conspiracy doesn’t work anymore because they can’t claim “the powers that be” are protecting anyone without attacking Trump now.
The beflief is that Epstein collected and kept evidence that he could use to blackmail his wealthy and powerful clients, either on behalf of an intelligence agency which he had claimed to have ties to, or just to protect himself and gain personal influence and power.
This isn’t a right wing conspiracy, it cuts across the US political spectrum
I know what the conspiracy is, and I’m bringing up the right specifically (and I made sure to preface that I was doing that and that this conspiracy extends beyond them but I guess you missed it) because the far right currently controls the government and a lot of the right wing political grift hinges on things like “Trump is going to release the truth about Epstein and all the people who were part of his network.”
When Biden was president and the democrats controlled the senate, the right screeched for years that Biden and his administration were protecting the pedophiles. Now they have control, and nothing has changed. They can’t explain it without attacking Trump. Which they’ll never do directly because 1) he’s critical to their income and 2) look how well that’s gone for Musk
Right. They had videos from Diddy and couldn’t take him down beyond the smaller charges. People seem to forget you need proof beyond a reasonable doubt for a criminal conviction.
Epstein’s client list was for blackmail - not prosecution by due process of law. All he had to do was threaten Mr Moneybags about that time he went to town with a girl and now Epstein suddenly has tens more millions of dollars.

No one said it was for prosecution?
The immediate parent comment did
What does that have to do with anything? Are we not discussing the FBI investigating such a list to see if there is evidence to pursue anything?
That’d be a great point if people were trying to skip arraignment and trial and go straight to conviction.
