DOJ Memo Denies Epstein Client List
The DOJ memo denies any existence of an Epstein client list and claims no evidence links others to Epstein's crimes.
This contradicts known facts like Epstein's black book and flight manifests, making the DOJ claims absurd.

Epstein Files Are Fragmented
Epstein-related documents are limited and heavily redacted, misleading the public about the extent of the investigation.
The "client list" may not exist as a document but could be compiled from various pieces of evidence.

Many Trump voters were under the naive impression that his administration would release information about Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirators in his child trafficking operation. So it came as a shock when the DOJ released a memo claiming that they couldn’t find any “client list,” there is no evidence of Epstein blackmail activities, and they did not find “evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.”
Not even MAGA loyalists are buying this.
Jake, Julian, and Travis try to make sense of the DOJ’s blundering attempt to put an end to Epstein chatter, discuss how the memo contradicts previous statements by FBI Director Kash Patel, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, and explore whether this is scandalous enough to fracture Trump’s base for good.
