Jeffrey Epstein died (allegedly*) on Aug. 10, 2019, by his own hand after being taken off of suicide watch a few weeks prior. (He had tried to kill himself in the same way he allegedly* later succeeded in doing.) The cameras quit working without explanation on the night of his death. The guards on duty were both on overtime. He had no cellmate, which he should have, according to protocol.
(*I use the caveat “allegedly” here because, arguably, no case in history — the decades-long child sex trafficking scheme itself as well as the consequent arrest and death of Epstein — has been as shrouded in mystery since the JFK assassination.)
No one in power was ever made to answer for any of this and, in typical gaslighting fashion, the public was asked to disregard all common sense and nod its collective head at a story that made no sense.

It’s worth noting that Donald Trump was president while all of this was going on. He could have, presumably, taken action in the year and a half that he remained in office to make sure all of the documents currently promised to the public were released at the time, thereby sparing us all of the current melodrama.
That didn’t happen.
Fast forward five and a half years through the “most transparent administration in history” that was the Brandon regime, and we still have nothing.
At least, though, new Attorney General Pam Bondi has made rich promises.
Last week, Pam Bondi claimed on Fox News the Epstein client list was “sitting on her desk right now,” ready to be released.
Via Mint, Feb. 22, 2025, (emphasis added):
Jeffrey Epstein client list is “sitting on my desk right now,” US Attorney General Pam Bondi said on Friday, following President Donald Trump’s earlier directives ordering the release of records.
In an interview with Fox News, Bondi said she is reviewing “a lot of documents,” including the Jeffrey Epstein client list, because it was a “directive” from Trump himself.
“I'm reviewing JFK (John F Kennedy) files, MLK (Martin Luther King) files, that's all in the process of being reviewed,” she added.
When asked if she's seen anything that made her go, “Oh my gosh”, Bondi said, “Not yet!”
A week on, we’ve got nothing of substance worth speaking of.
No client list.
Instead, we are treated to a letter from Pam Bondi to newly commissioned FBI Director Kash Patel, dated Feb. 27, claiming that she had only received 200 pages of documents. She says she was assured these documents were everything the FBI had related to Epstein and his criminal activities but she had doubts:
Before you came into office, I requested the full and complete files related to Jeffrey Epstein. In response to this request, I received approximately 200 pages of documents, which consisted primarily of flight logs, Epstein's list of contacts, and a list of victims' names and phone numbers.
I repeatedly questioned whether this was the full set of documents responsive to my request and was repeatedly assured by the FBI that we had received the full set of documents. Late yesterday; I learned from a source that the FBI Field Office in New York was in possession of thousands of pages of documents related. to the investigation and indictment of Epstein.

Pam Bondi is clearly a smart woman. No one could possibly believe she ever bought that 200 pages were everything the FBI had on Epstein.
Which begs the question: why all the hype before dropping essentially nothing, and why did she claim to have the Epstein client list “on her desk” and ready to go a week ago?
Extreme levels of gaslighting are afoot. I’m not sure who’s responsible for it just yet, but none of this stands up to even cursory examination.
