I'll offer a couple of unsolicited theories on whether Trump is on "the List," and why we haven't seen it.
1. Is Trump on the List? Highly likely. Would he ever pay for sex or have someone else procure women for sex for him? Well, we already know the answer to that (Stormy Daniels). Has anyone ever suggested that Epstein ONLY offered underage girls for sex? I don't think so. What was important to Epstein was to get someone compromised. So, is Trump on the List? It's highly likely that he is. But, if his thing wasn't underage girls, then it probably amounts to nothing more than a prostitute/john connection, something he's already admitted to doing.
2. Why haven't we seen the List and will we ever see it? Occam's Razor should provide the answer. The List was extremely valuable to Epstein. Les Wexner (billionaire owner of Victoria's Secret and The Limited) didn't just give Epstein the most expensive brownstone in NYC. He gave him an unlimited power of attorney. That meant Epstein controlled all of Wexner's assets. He could sell them; transfer everything to himself; whatever he wanted. There are dozens of other examples of compromised individuals in Whitney Webb's book, and that's just the ones she could find out. The List was better than a gold mine. It was a get-out-of-jail-free card as to 99.98% of the rest of the world.
Now someone else has the List. They have that powerful commodity once possessed by Epstein, together with the kompromat that goes with it, in the form of damning video evidence. How much value does that List have once it gets released to the public? Zero, nada, zilch. Once those individuals are exposed, the List has no value. That's why we'll never see the list. It would be like asking Les Wexner to turn over his fortune to you. He's never going to do it without a damn good reason.
Those who have the List will be extracting favors from powerful individuals for decades. Those same powerful individuals have been told that they must ensure that this List never sees the light of day, or the government will be forced to prosecute them. And, so they are -- quietly, through intermediaries, through connections, with threats and bribes. And, that's why Bongino and Patel look like they're filming a hostage video whenever they're asked about Epstein -- because they are.
This is also why Epstein had to be killed. Sure, the rich and powerful who are on the List wanted him dead. But, they're not likely the ones who orchestrated his killing. Instead, the new owner(s) of the List had to see him killed. He alone could destroy the value of the List they now have. Dead men tell no tales.
At least that's how I see it. People interested in such things really owe it to themselves to read Whitney Webb's book. I know you have, Isaiah. I will never look at this country the same.
I think that's a very plausible theory. Someone, or a group of people, have the list — or they're the people on the list who have it.
My only big issue is every step of the way Kash, Bondi, and Bongino have muffled the Epstein case and made themselves look sketchier than necessary.
The fake binders, Bongino switching to he killed himself without providing a shred of evidence why or having the wherewithal to realize how stupid he'd look saying that, and Kash doing the same. It's so obvious that major Republicans or ppl in the Trump admin are complicit in some way.
Yes. I agree. They are complicit. I subscribe to the theory (not my own) that the there is a group, let's call it the Deep State, that has compromising material on all of them, where "all of them" just means enough to get whatever they want whenever they need it.
Not every issue is important such that they need to control the outcome. But, some issues are, particularly if they threaten their power. 'The purpose of power is power.' -paraphrasing George Orwell, 1984.
So, yeah, I long ago gave up on Republicans. They are complicit, as is Trump. I just go back to One Nation Under Blackmail. Webb does such a good job tracing the history of Black Ops in the USA since the 1920s. It would be illogical to expect that this hasn't continued to the present.
I tend to agree with you. Trump likely knew and is probably on the record somewhere saying as much. The damning evidence is Trump knew and didn’t say anything. The fact we keep talking about the list and NOBODY has been charged speaks volumes. If Kash was who he’d lead us to believe he would make a deal with Maxwell and fry every one of the bastards. I think Kash and Bongino found out who is really in charge.
You know Isaiah, whatever you write, whether I agree with it or not, it is worth reading. FYI: I don't think there is anything you've written where I disagree. You've got a knack of sharing a perspective and putting it into words I really admire. Thank you for your work.
You thought Trump could be a hero? You think he is another decent president whose bark is worse than his bite? What drugs are you taking? This convicted felon, con man, and serial liar is the worst President we have ever had. He is destroying our democracy, killing people by disbanding government agencies like NOAA, NIH, and FEMA. It is estimated that 300,000 people, many children, will die due to his cuts in aid programs. Compared to Hitler and Stalin, he is only an amateur, but his term in office is just beginning. He is turning America against our long-time allies such as NATO, the WTO, and our neighbors to the north and south. He may not be a pedophile, but he certainly has friends who were involved with Epstein, and those friends have a lot of dirt on Trump's past actions. It is no wonder he doesn't want all of the files released. Please take a close look at the people he has in his cabinet. Many are incompetent, lacking experience in the area for which they are now in charge, and their primary qualification is their fealty to Trump. He launched a war on our universities, law firms, whose clients he dislikes, and cultural institutions such as the Kennedy Center because they have showcased the works of creators he feels are not American enough. We are the laughing stock of the free world, and he is a blight on America's history. The Mad King is precisely the type of person that the Founding Fathers tried to protect us from. As smart as they were, they could not conceive of a Congress so willing and a public so blinded that they would elect and enable such a poor excuse for a human being.
Maybe "hero" was the wrong word, maybe not. Who cares. The point is he came in as an outsider, ostensibly learning from his mistakes in 2016 and with a cabinet of outsiders that ranged from former Democrats to Libertarians to the new media.
I still think Trump had to get elected; the Democrats have been that bad for 10 years from blocking Bernie to running Joe to running Kamala.
The country is in a rough spot. Will be interesting tho because we live in a post-Trump world now and many ppl are disillusioned by the parties.
You need to watch some videos by Mike Benz. He was exposing USAID before Trump Wes even elected. You can blame the CIA for funneling funds through NGOs as legit aid organizations. https://x.com/mikebenzcyber/status/1838448979799085456?s=46

Yup so much this James! It just makes Trump look bad. Id argue a part of his legacy will be not releasing the Epstein files.

Nah, I disagree about the Epstein list point.
The Democrats would have selectively released his information and maybe a few others as cover.
If he was on that list, we would have heard about it during the 2024 campaign, 100% guaranteed.
Of course.
