I believe that Epstein island was more than just a prostitution ring with age-appropriate women for a couple of reasons.

1. There are plenty of beautiful & willing women without going to an island.

2. The name of the plane was the Lolita express. Named after a child in a novel that an older man was obsessed with.

I don’t know how it gets more obvious than that.

3. Epstein was rumored to be Mossad. ‘By deceit we will wage war.’ Sounds like blackmail to me.

I don't see that. The reason being that the biden admin and democrats absolutely would have leaked it (the coup de grâce to Trump). I really believe there are national security issues here and that Epstein was a CIA operative. Just my thoughts.

Making us wait on disclosure does not make him a pedophile sympathizer. He has, in both terms, focused on arresting more pedos than any other leader anywhere. Just relax Matt. It will work out. This is a guy whose motto is "Never, ever, ever Give Up." I don't see him bowing or sucking up to Bibi. I see him setting all the effers up for a yuuuuge takedown.

A quibble, but I would discourage the watering down of the word "pedophile" to include teenagers, especially ones older than both of my parents were when I was a one-year old born in wedlock and they were legally married and on a flight to Japan to join my Dad just assigned there by the Air Force. We now have to ask additional questions before forming an opinion on someone accused of "rape" or "racism" .. words matter.

I get what you're saying. Country of Iraq right now has marriage age minimum of 18, but there is a bill trying to reduce marriage age to 12. In Afghanistan the most common marriage age is 15/16, but some below that. Different cultures have different norms. With the Epstein thing, I've heard that some of the 'victims' were also helping to 'pimp' their friends/acquaintances. Some of the clients may have been well into their 60's and 70's but having a poke with 17 year olds.

In the last 48 hours I heard Trump tell a reporter to stop asking questions about Epstein and his DOJ now say there isn’t a list, but they showed a binder said to hold Epstein docs right after Bondi was confirmed. Even JD Vance said during campaign the info should be made transparent (see his interview w/ Theo Von). This I know, and it’s an incredibly bad look. Maybe it’s a set up or the investigation is on-going and doesn’t want to tip off anyone. But if not, then Trump not providing ‘transparency’ on this subject (while having the ability to do so) would make him, IMO, complicit in cover up. Time will tell.

Epstein is dead, his estate was liquidated to compensate his victims and Ghislaine Maxwell is in prison. When Trump pardons Maxwell, you can claim he's a pedophile sympathizer.

When one client of Epstein/ Maxwell ever gets convicted then get back to me. There seems to be only one ‘John’ who’s been convicted, and he only in court of public opinion:

Prince Andrew

Tell me Jen, how Maxwell gets put away for 20 years but no clients of Maxwell were ever named. How does that even happen?

Until and unless other info comes out, it’s my opinion that Trump is on the ‘list’ that he’d like people to stop talking about.

“The "Lolita Express" is a nickname given to Jeffrey Epstein's private Boeing 727 jet, tail number N908JE

. This name, a reference to Vladimir Nabokov's novel "Lolita" about a middle-aged man's obsession with a young girl, reflects the disturbing allegations surrounding Epstein's use of the plane. The plane has been at the center of allegations of facilitating underage sex trafficking and abuse, allegedly transporting young girls to Epstein's various properties, including his private island, Little St. James.” AI

Can I suggest you read Jeff Childers post today? Epstein story isn’t going away. He frames this latest weird affair as the beginning of a next, more dangerous chapter, and goes on to give 4 possible explanations of what is occurring.

https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/semi-transparent-tuesday-july-8-2025?triedRedirect=true

“Epstein is undoubtedly one of the most important stories of our generation. It’s the Rosetta Stone of elite corruption— a case intersecting nearly every electrified rail of conservative, populist, and justified MAGA distrust: globalist depravity, the deep state’s immunity, two-tiered justice, media collusion, basic right and wrong, and child exploitation— and the sickening sense that the worst people in the world are the ones setting the rules.”

I get the anger and disappointment, but consider that our own Government's deep state funded terrorism, played both sides and assassinated one sitting US POTUS, and controlled our own elections sine the last great turning, why would one think it would be that easy. Logically speaking, that sort of power always plays from the shadows, and has its back doors and parachutes, the common folks have not idea about. Even in daily life we are blind to how the sausage is made.

I think it was George Bernard Shaw, who once said all professions are conspiracies upon the laity. If the butcher knows how the sausage is made and the plumber knows shortcuts to repair plumbing, the professional politicians and deep state operatives have some really dark secrets.

Consider Ghislaine Maxwell's father and how deep this all goes. Know that there are amoral people in dark positions of power that would destroy the world in nuclear holocaust rather than give up their power.

So as a Christian, I pray daily for those fighting the good fight, knowing that the only true justice does not come during our mortal journey.

From the FBI memo: "The files relating to Epstein include a large volume of images of Epstein, images and videos of victims who are either minors or appear to be minors, and over ten thousand downloaded videos and images of illegal child sex abuse material and other pornography."

How can there be 10,000 videos and images of "illegal child sex abuse material" and no abusers? Ghislaine Maxwell is in prison for sex trafficking children. Who was she trafficking them to?

Maybe I'm just a cynical GenXer, but I don't buy it at all. Someone abused these children. There may not be an official "Epstein list", but I'm certain the FBI knows some people who committed these crimes.

In the last few weeks we were informed that Epstein definitely committed suicide (despite that bone in his neck that was broken; the one that fractures when you are strangled), the tape recording showing access to his cell miraculously made an appearance (it is a "still" except a minute of the recording is missing so I hear), there is no client list and no flight log (what list was wr showed with all those names of celebs in it?). Jeff was attacked from all sides and accused of terrible crimes when it was that bitch of a Gillaine Maxwell who did terrible things with underage girls right under his nose. At least they removed her from society for the time being.

But serious, watch Candace Owens's video of today (yesterday?) about Epstein's power. Without a deep state his treatment would not have been possible.

As a follow-up to Ayn Rand; I posit; Barack Hussein Obama greenlighted the 7/13/2024 failed CIA assassination of Donald J. Trump and here is why:

Do you remember that time in 2016 when Attorney General Loretta Lynch decided she would take a private meeting with Bill Clinton on her plane as it was parked on the tarmac in Phoenix – while Bill’s wife, Hillary Clinton (when she was Obama’s Secretary of State), was under federal investigation for using a secret and unlawful private email server at her New York home, to receive thousands of top secret and classified government emails?

With the obvious corruption of the Phoenix tarmac meeting in mind; it is my humble opinion that our Constitutional Republic permanently fell during the 2016 presidential election cycle on July 5 when FBI Director James Comey ignored the rule of law and “exonerated” Hillary Clinton for the illegal server and the thousands of her classified emails. At that point in American history, the “rule of law” in the USA began its demise and because the constitutional provisions for criminal trial remedy to the ensuing felonious acts and omissions (think FISA Court - “Crossfire Hurricane”) of James Comey, (et al) were never pursued; our Constitutional Republic has fallen and is irreparable…... and the 2022 FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago along with the four unconstitutional indictments of Donald J. Trump and the “Bragg show trial in New York”, and the two failed Trump assassination attempts is proof We the People now live in a banana republic.

Please be cognizant: The Comey/Hillary Clinton exoneration was three weeks prior to a July 2016 Oval Office meeting orchestrated by President Barack Hussein Obama and Valerie Jarrett and attended by Vice President Joe Biden, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, national security adviser Susan Rice and CIA Director John Brennan.

According to CIA Director John Brennan’s handwritten notes, Brennan informed attendees of “alleged approval by Hillary Clinton" on July 26, 2016, of “a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by Russian security services.” In other words, a scandal about collusion with Russia. According to a CIA memo, the intent of this plan was “distracting the public from her use of a private email server.”

Later it was shown that the plan was enacted via the Steele dossier, which Robby Mook, Clinton’s former campaign director, acknowledged under oath in 2022 to have procured. So explosive were Brennan’s notes that U.S. senators needed a federal court order, issued four years after Obama’s Oval Office meeting, to wrest a copy of it from the Department of Justice. Released along with Brennan’s notes was a copy of a CIA memo sent to FBI Director James Comey and Peter Strzok, (the deputy assistant director of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division and manager of FBI’s “Crossfire Hurricane”), delineating the Barack Hussein Obama’s Oval Office meeting’s discussion.

That is why I posit; Barack Hussein Obama greenlighted the 7/13/2024 failed CIA assassination of Donald J. Trump

Journalist Whitney Webb has a gift for locating corrupt political power: In her new two-volume book, “One Nation Under Blackmail: The Sordid Union Between Intelligence and Crime that Gave Rise to Jeffrey Epstein,” Webb exposes the dark truth about Epstein’s extensive criminal operations and the connections to entire networks of power and influence — a web of elites that infiltrates the highest ranks of every sector, including law enforcement, art, Wall Street, Silicon Valley, big business, real estate, philanthropy, media, academia, banking and more.

Webb joined "The Glenn Beck Podcast" to expose just how deep Epstein's vast network of corruption and power really went. Was Epstein a government informant? How big is the scandal's body count? And of course, did Epstein actually kill himself?

So when he says "they're eating the cats... they're eating the dogs type stuff, they know what he's inferring and they're grateful rather than disdainful.

So while some might feel Trump is lying or delusional or crazy, his voters either are low info/involvement and just live their lives or liking the gist of what he's said so don't think of these as mistruths, I don't think. It's become his signature, so he's really able to get away with it. And it's so frequent, it's annoying to have every little thing about the guy picked apart. Focus on the big stuff, like his love of autocracies and the way he talks suggests he'd like to lead one.

What if Trump is in possession of the ultimate ‘trump card’ of many US, Royals and other world leaders on the Epstein island visit list, and his ability to ‘win’ is predicated on those leaders falling in line or he’ll expose.

It’s all still very foggy on what is happening. Pam Bondi, Kash Patel & Don Bongino were all over social media about the Epstein list prior to joining the administration. And now this weird post on DOJ website, then DOJ website goes down. And none of these 3 has said anything about it.

Good take. This episode could be Trump ‘showing’ his ability to ‘control’ the Epstein list, for those he’s negotiating with. And those he negotiating with it’s been made known privately that they are on list. But this ‘event’ could be Daddy Trump letting them know the list is still there and he holds the strings. This may be an expression of that power. I mean, we had Pam Bondi on camera stating there was a list. And now, a report ‘there is no list’ and no comment from Pam.

Pretty sure Hollywood isn’t going to fund a movie casting a Jew in a pedophile light.

Where is a Snowden when you need one?

I’m guessing they are all guilty? If they are allowed to play and earn mega money… they are compromised.

Don't release an irrelevant video, with a minute missing, as proof of...whatever. We strongly suspect that the lists compromise important foreign political assets who would be destroyed by release of the list. All domestic participants have been scrubbed. Just tell us that there has been so much covering up that we can not prove what's real. Everyone will believe that. We see that, non-stop.

Agreed. And what really needs to be proved (if possible at some point) is the general institutional players, the scope, and the intents -- simply, "that it happened". So, as much as it pains me to say so, revealing the specific participants is not as important, especially if it gets the vast majority of the country to shift gears to confront corruption.

We've reached a point where we are sure that we are not getting anything resembling the full story/truth. The main question now is, "is anything we hear true."

There's no way they would lie about a man made/US funded virus and kill millions and keep children out of public schools. There is no way they would lie and risk WWIII to blame Putin for a war we clearly instigated. Except they did. They lied about everything. Are they capable of telling the whole truth?

I agree on the missing video - just try showing your wife "some" of your texts when she's found incriminating evidence of an affair.

A 'nothing burger"? Or a means by which Trump has a deal with Democrats to allow less opposition to his efforts?

Definitely an intriguing question, but I agree with Sasha that if Trump or Clinton had been in there, we would know. It’s really unfortunate and disappointing, and it’s hard not to believe there is more “there” there. Our government has lied and covered up for really dumb shit, this all needs to be made public to restore some trust.

It seems the calculus by the Trump team is that more transparency will not restore trust. They are very aware of the discord but are choosing to stonewall the questions. Trump has said he could shoot someone and MAGA would still support him. We will see what new crisis will drive this off the top of the list questions.

Why would Trump need a deal with Team D if he has The Epstein Files and their presumed treasure trove of embarrassing information?

So much for "drain the swamp!(tm)"

Trump broke promises on stopping funds to Ukraine, not engaging in unnecessary wars but bombed Iran, and releasing Epstein files; Mossad and Zionists own Trump.

Not to mention buddying up with al Qaeda.

Yup, but watch the excuses pour in for their hero.

Because the list also has prominent R’s on it - and exposing list could derail his agenda. That’s a pretty easy logic to grasp Feral?

So much for "Drain the Swamp!(tm)" and of course Trump could never get anything done without compromised politicians, no, unthinkable...

I don't know which side is right. I will say A LOT of people are NOT buying what the Trump Administration is selling on this.

I believe that Trump knows his MAGA base largely doesn’t buy what’s being sold. So I ask myself, why would he try to sell that? I don’t know the answer to that question but I do know that Trump is a consummate deal-maker. So my current thinking is that this blatant lie telling (that there is no list) is for something bigger that isn’t yet known.

If they had something on Trump or vice versa - what about mutually assured destruction? Best for all involved to lay it to rest. Best at least for all who weren’t underaged victims Even if MOST were of age - it’s true many were not. I’m just tired of the practice of covering up everything -lack of transparency on nearly everything whether sex trafficking or mass shootings - leading to endless speculation and conspiracies which is the only outcome to expect from such a practice. Maybe everyone couldn’t handle the truth but I’m tired of a small but mighty powerful part of society getting to choose. Perhaps I’m wrong in my thinking and I should just be grateful and careful what I wish for.

The idea that America will vote against the Trump administration in 2026 and return the corrupt Dems to power because of the Epstein debacle seems a bit ridiculous. There's still very much of a lust for DNC/Deep State prosecutions, and should Trump et al finally get around to fulfilling that promise, the "Blue Wave" is a silly fantasy.

Here is the biggest question for me: Why is Guislane Maxwell in jail? Second only to the first is why would Epstein kill himself (or be whisked away into Witness Protection if you don’t buy the suicide story) over some rich guys sleeping with age appropriate call girls at Little St. James?

This is a guy who in 2019, when facing criminal proceedings for sex trafficking, disclosed his total assets as $559,120,954. He was used to hobnobbing with the famous and living a unrestrained life of glamour and gals! His hedonism catched up with him and he was 66. Maybe better to exit gracefully than face the fall when you know what it's like to be on top and what's to come, to say nothing of rotting away physically and being famous as a "pedophile" (aka having sex with very young but presenting as legal age nubile young things - did I say young yet? - AND, ladies don't like being asked their age so I've heard).
