FBI, DOJ say no Epstein client list exists

After Donald Trump reclaimed the White House, one of the promises made was that we would get to see the full Epstein files.

Well, after an initial, limited release of information, it now appears that Attorney General Pam Bondi is going back on the administration's word.

This weekend, the FBI and DOJ made a joint announcement that there was no Epstein client list in existence, but this goes directly against what Bondi stated in the media not very long ago.

Sitting on my desk

Almost immediately after taking her post, Bondi got the internet sleuths all fired up by saying that she had the Epstein client list, stating, “It’s sitting on my desk right now to review. That’s been a directive by President Trump. I’m reviewing that.”

At the time, she was also asked about other cases, such as the JFK, RFK, and MLK assassinations.

She stated, “That’s all in the process of being reviewed, because that was done at the directive of the president from all of these agencies.”

This was a big tease, and MAGA world was expecting a bombshell to be released later, but it never came to be.

Bondi facing pressure

In late February, a group of influencers was brought to the White House, and they all left with massive binders to promote online.

MAGA was furious at the time, wondering why only a select few were given the files when we had been promised a mass release of all things Epstein.

One key thing that was missing from the binders was the alleged client list, nor was there any evidence that the document even existed other than Bondi’s earlier interview statements.

The pressure on Bondi began to rise, with Trump surrogate Laura Loomer leading the charge, calling Bondi a “total liar.”

No list exists

This weekend, the internet exploded after the DOJ and FBI jointly announced that Epstein did not keep a “client list” to blackmail his prominent friends.

The report also stated that there was no evidence that any blackmail had ever taken place.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino had previously added that, despite suspicions on the contrary, Epstein did kill himself in jail, stating, “He’s the only person in there and the only person coming out. You can see it.”

Needless to say, MAGA went nuts on the internet, already calling for the firing of Bondi, Patel, and Bongino, saying they can never be trusted again. This is the problem when you push conspiracy theories, then fail to deliver when you are in charge. This may seem like a little issue for the administration, but based on everything else that is going on, it could be a major problem if it gets any juice on social media.
