Opinion
By George Miller, 7-21-25
Well, using legalese in the vein of Clintonian “what is is?”, could you say that pedomaster Jeffrey Epstein had no clients, since he likely had no contracts with them and probably received no payment? Also could you say he had no client list, since he had no clients? Even if he did, could you say he had no client list if they were merely entries in his contact list, or if someone else, such as Maxwell, kept it for him? Most assuredly there was a list of some sort — the sophistry of denying it is absurd. I am very disappointed that Trump, Bondi, Bongino and Patel are trying to sell us that nonsense and Trump is heaping scorn upon people for not swallowing it whole. In any case, what about info in evidence files/testimony/whistleblowers?
Only months ago, Trump, Bondi, Bongino, Patel, were all screaming that the Epstein thing stank to high heaven and demanding immediate transparency. Bondi even said she had the list on her desk for review. Anyone with integrity and half a brain should instead be demanding to know why they just made a head snapping 180 degree pivot on this.
The Epstein thing is very real and points to deep sickness in the political, entertainment and other elites world. The potential for blackmail and influence is enormous and apparent to anyone with half a brain or more, which apparently omits a lot of people. Trump looks scared to me. Why is a good question. Would it implicate associates, has he been threatened, or what? Epstein’s attorney recently asserted that Trump is not implicated in the scandal.
So why is this even important? Some say we shouldn’t be concerned about who ***ed who back then. But, with underaged girls and misguided young women exploited by numerous luminaries via Epstein and Maxwell, that alone is a crime. Even more worrying is the potential for blackmail and influence- a national security issue.
Trump is apparently trying to take this off the national agenda so it doesn’t distract from his other priorities. Not only will it NOT go away, but he just made it worse the way he handled it. Some say he is merely trying to suck his opposition into a trap – 5 dimensional chess, et al. Either way, break out the popcorn, folks.
