Come on, two possibilities:
There never was a list and Trump, Bondi and the others trumped up that falsehood to get in.
There is an actual list (that Trump never saw before? that’s the hard part to swallow) and now that he’s seen it, there are names on there like other Republicans or high tech crypto types he is now beholden to that he has no choice but to protect. Or he saw it before and he’s changed his mind on some of those people?
I lean more toward Option 1 (never was a list), but what do I know.
Either way, a big problem that won’t go away too quickly.
I think it's just that it was a huge intelligence operation. It's not just about a "list" per se, with "famous" people or Republicans. The whole saga is a huge thing, far beyond just sex with minors, can't have people asking questions about who funded Epstein and why. Sure it was probably about gathering kompromat on people but there's more, the financial stuff... he was a teacher with no college degree and suddenly there was really no end to his money, I don't know what his wealth was estimated as but it's like he was a billionaire. For what exactly? One dude gave him 170 million for financial advice. Really? I think he was in the dirty diamond trade, even running guns, had more than a dozen passports, even a Saudi passport. Sure sounds like he was connected to intelligence to be able to do all that. Ghislaine was the daughter of the Mossad agent Robert Maxwell who was given a state funeral in Israel. Epstein worked for Robert, met Ghislaine through him... obviously Trump is completely owned by Israel. IMO the sex stuff is relatively minor compared to all that, and Trump may not have gotten any "massages" by minors through Epstein. I'm sure he had that sex stuff covered and satisfied, know what I mean? Though surely Donald knew what Epstein was about, "known him for 15 years... he's a terrific guy."
