Who’s Afraid of Jeffrey Epstein?

A sampling of the political connections Jeffrey Epstein had in the Trump administration - and why many people likely want the “list” to go away

What’s going on with my “boys” and in some cases, “gals”? Well, the Epstein “list” is a boy that simply will not go away for Donald Trump.

There’s a certain bit of irony to it, for reasons I’m sure you’re all well aware of at this point - promises by members of the Trump administration to “release the Epstein list,” a bit of cognitive dissonance here with Kash Patel and Dan Bongino flip-flopping between calling for its release and claiming it doesn’t exist, and the very real ways that Donald Trump has alienated his own base by claiming nobody cares about it. That’s so decidedly untrue that, for the first time ever, Trump got ratioed ON HIS OWN SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM for posting negatively about the attention it’s getting.

Here’s the thing. Trump et al. are likely right to a certain degree that there is no physical “list” of Epstein clients that has been suppressed, and therefore calling for the release of the list might, indeed, be calling for the release of something that doesn’t exist.

That doesn’t mean there weren’t Epstein clients, associates, and enablers aware of his vast sex trafficking empire, though.

In fact, when we were first discussing what the scope of THIS article should be, we realized pretty quickly that if we were to simply list every single Jeffrey Epstein friend, associate, business partner, or suspected “guest” of the Lolita Express, it would likely be a book-length list. Jeffrey Epstein was very infamously a bit of a starfucker who bragged about his connections to celebrities and world leaders in conversation at the drop of a dime.

In the early days, he didn’t have to exaggerate about it either

Just to name a few examples of people he knew or had in his infamous black book, Epstein was said to have known Michael Jackson, David Copperfield, Stephen Hawking, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kevin Spacey, Chris Tucker, George Lucas, Cate Blanchett, Naomi Campbell, Bruce Willis, Cameron Diaz, and Chris Tucker. That’s not to say any of them, or even most of them, were “clients” of Epstein’s, or even knew about any of his atrocities - after all, Epstein’s footprint is decades long. But SOME may have been; of that list alone, photos exist of Stephen Hawking at a private event on Epstein’s private island, and we know that Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker were on flight logs for the Lolita Express.

But of particular note is the sheer amount of political figures in Epstein’s orbit - some to lesser degrees, many to troublingly close degrees. You may know about Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and Prince Andrew’s connections to Jeffrey Epstein - lesser known are his connections to people like Noam Chomsky, who met up with Epstein multiple times after he became a registered sex offender and had him “rearrange” $270,000, and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who has been strangely consistent about the fact that he rode the Lolita Express with Epstein twice (though insists nothing “nefarious” happened onboard either time).

unclear if Epstein got to meet the brain worm unfortunately

The main reason it’s troubling that Epstein was in close quarters with so many politicians is simple: according to the official Department of Justice investigation into Epstein, he had a safe with CDs in it that had labels saying things like “Young [name] + [Random Name]”. So hypothetically, one could have said something like “Young Madeline + Donald Trump” - and considering he once told a New York Times reporter off the record that he had “dirt” on people, it’s very clear how one could fill in the blanks on what was on these discs.

There are a number of people this could potentially apply to, such as former U.S. president Bill Clinton, someone that Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre once said under oath had been seen on Epstein’s private island with “young girls.” He was also known to have flown on The Lolita Express 27 times, five of which had no Secret Service with him. It could also apply to Bill Gates, a three-time attendee of Epstein’s island POST conviction in 2008, or former New Mexico governor and U.S. Energy Secretary Bill Richardson, alleged by Giuffre to be someone Epstein trafficked her to.

Hell, there are any number of foreign politicians Epstein was connected to, like former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak (who went into business with Epstein in 2015) or former Colombian president Andrés Pastrana Arango (both of whom were invited to fly into Cuba by freaking FIDEL CASTRO), and there’s also the long-standing rumor that Jeffrey Epstein was a sleeper agent for Mossad (which has enough credibility that Julie K. Brown, one of the most significant journalists to have ever covered Epstein, believes it).

But I wanted to do something a little simple to start for the dust bunnies who may be new to Epsteinworld. If you want another angle to this vast story, I recommend my recent live interview with Tara Palmeri. But today, I wanted to break down Jeffrey Epstein’s political contacts in just one category: the astonishing amount of contacts he has in Trumpworld, the members of the administration and its orbiters. And to be clear: these are just the ones we KNOW about and have a verifiable paper trail to follow.

Because if Jeffrey Epstein had dirt on anybody, all of us should hope it’s not any of the following people… even if it’s likely that some exists on really any of the following.
