AI Summary:
U.S. Government review finds no evidence that sex offender Jeffrey Epstein kept a secret client list. The acknowledgement that Epstein did not maintain a list of clients who received underage girls marks a clear retreat from a narrative once promoted by members of President Donald Trump’s administration. Attorney General Pam Bondi even claimed such a document was “sitting on my desk”, awaiting her review. Conservatives who have sought proof of a government cover-up of Epstein’s activities quickly expressed outrage at the announcement. Far-right influencer Jack Posobiec posted: “We were all told more was coming. That answers were out there and would be provided. Incredible how utterly mismanaged this Epstein mess has been. And it didn’t have to be.” Separately, former Trump ally Elon Musk, shared an image of an image. Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones wrote, “Next the DOJ will say ‘Actually, Jeffrey Epstein never even existed’,” calling the conclusion “over the top sickening”. ‘Epstein’s crimes and death’ On Monday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended the Justice Department’s “exhaustive investigation”.

Wow, first government confirmation that there is a list and he didn't kill himself.

Right. Epstein had no client list and Donald Trump definitely wasn't on it.

Here's Musk's opportunity to use his wealth for good. He should be able to buy access to the truth, and bring down a whole bunch of very deserving scumbags.

And imagine what that would do to redeem his reputation....

Sure... he's on the list himself.

Once a nazi, always a Nazi. How about actual justice instead of relying on a billionaire to do the right thing for once in his pathetic life.

Sure - that'd be nice.

But there is no justice in the US, and no amount of wishing or complaining is going to change that. The system is owned by, and explicitly works for, the wealthy few.

And appropriately enough, that's who would suffer if the truth about Epstein was fully revealed - nowhere near as many of them as deserve to suffer, but possibly enough of them to put a bit of fear into the rest, and to give the common people some hope they haven't felt in at least 60 or so years now.

(And it's not necessary that Musk's reputation actually be redeemed - it'd be enough if he just thought it was going to be...)

While I would applaud this move, I still won't support Odors agenda in any way I can control
