Rightwing influencers indignant over FBI claim that Jeffrey Epstein’s client list doesn’t exist (www.theguardian.com)

Rightwing influencers in the US who are often aligned with Donald Trump are angry that a joint justice department and FBI memo has dismissed the existence of a “client list” in the case against late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The disgraced financier killed himself in a jail cell at the Metropolitan Detention Center in New York City in 2019 while awaiting prosecution on child sex-trafficking and conspiracy charges.

Almost ever since, Epstein’s death has been the subject of conspiracy theories on the right, including a supposed “client list” that he purportedly used to blackmail wealthy co-conspirators.

This website has existed and been up for the better part of a decade now.

If you were unaware of this, then uh, you are not immune to propoganda.

This has all been known for years, publically available for years, its just that right wingers invented an entirely fake media environment and narrative universe all built on denying every single well documented connection between Trump and Epstein.

Also, technically... this is a contact book, an address book.

It doesn't 100% mean everyone in it went to pedo island, went on the pedo plane... but its a very obvious starting point to connect to other more specific kinds of evidence.

Specific evidence that obviously exists, becauss it was used and cross referenced in Ghislaine's trial... but most of that evidence was never released to the public.

This unredacted copy of the contact list was also not supposed to be released to the public in an unredacted form... but someone leaked it, and someone (else? presumably?) made this website.
