It's going to be revealed that virtually everyone with money was involved with him somewhat, then it will never be brought up again.

The ONLY reason Fox News cares is for the hope of active Democrats in Epstein's circle - whom they will shout about to the hills, while ignoring any Republicans also in that list. Their playbook is a transparent sheet of plastic.

"shout about to the hills, while ignoring..."

So, what CNN/MSDNC/ABC/CBS and others do to Republicans?

Repeat their own propaganda, as there is minimal "news" in the USA. It is primarily opinion telling one how to think, even in the case of news events. All US news outlets are a big fat (sad) joke.

On this we agree. It is commercial. Build an audience and sell what the audience wants. It is more a reflection on people and where we are as a society.

I understand that Mr Epstein was intent on mixing socially with "virtually everyone with money", regardless of their proclivities. For camouflage, so to speak. That's the smart move, right?

Yeah, which is why this 'news' will mainly be conspiracy fodder. He was a conman that got into the circles of the rich and famous.

People seemed surprised that the elite class all hang out together, and make sure they stay elite. Look no further than the bi-partisan game of politicians inside trading.

Why the DOJ hasn’t leaked Jeffrey Epstein’s client list already?

Because we tend to follow laws.

Same rules of sealing during grand Jury testimony tend to work for everyone, not just a few.

I agree. But the thing I don't understand is why more people haven't been charged yet? Surely someone from the prosecution side of things has had access to it. Perhaps the evidence is too weak to support any case.

Because there is no “client list”.

Probably because the majority on “the list” aren’t ‘enemies’ and are part of the intelligentsia or what have you. Else those names would have been conveniently inadvertently leaked on an “unprotected server” just as inexplicably as security cameras going off line at the moment they could have caught a crime.
