After a lengthy examination of the remaining questions about the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the Ministry of Justice and the FBI published a memo on Monday. It states that Epstein was not murdered, contrary to widespread conspiracy theories. But committed suicide. The investigators also came to the conclusion that there was no “customer list” with which prominent and political elites were blackmailed.
Trump warehouse expects turmoil
Trump’s inner circle, who knows exactly that some of the presidents’ volume supporters will not accept any of these conclusions, was on the consequences.
“As part of our commitment to transparency, the Ministry of Justice and the FBI have carried out a comprehensive review of all investigative documents for Jeffrey Epstein,” says the common memo. “This systematic review showed no stressful ‘customer list’. No credible evidence was found that Epstein blackmailed prominent people. We have not found any evidence that would justify an investigation against non -accused third parties.”
The memo continues: “After a thorough investigation, FBI investigators came to the conclusion that Jeffrey Epstein celebrated suicide on August 10, 2019 in his cell in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City”. And it is consistent with previous knowledge, including the autopsy carried out at the time. The Ministry of Justice also published over ten hours of CCTV monitoring material from the detention center, in which Epstein Singing. The recordings show how he is led by a common area to his cell on the evening of August 9th by a common area, which is located outside the camera hike. The video shows that apparently no one has entered his cell afterwards.
Internal trouble in the Trump camp
When preparing for the publication of the two-sided memos, the Trump government was aware of the anger, which it would trigger the Maga base, which was strongly characterized in conspiracy.
“They will be so angry with us,” a government official told Rolling Stone. He meant the memo with the conclusions of the FBI and Ministry of Justice. The insider naturally alluded to the large number of prominent Maga personalities who had hoped for new revelations about Epstein since Trump’s return to office. Just to be disappointed again and again.
This person and two other government representatives describe an administration that spent excessive time (and failed) to appease conspiracy theorists. They have long said that Epstein has been murdered to protect Trump’s opponents. These include prominent democrats and liberal Hollywood stars. These ideas flourish in the Maga world. Although Trump has been proven to be connected to Epstein himself.
Damage limitation after Maga disappointment
After months of pressure on federal investigators to deliver something “usable” for the Epstein conscientious theorists, the Trump government is now trying to manage the internal disappointment. One of the three officials said Rolling Stone that you get messages from “really annoyed” right-wing influencers and trump-related allies. They want to convince that the government acted as transparently as possible. It is again emphasized that Epstein had actually died by suicide while he was imprisoned with minors due to human trafficking.
When asked whether these attempts to calm down, the official simply said: “No.”
Some personalities of the extreme right were so outraged that they declared the memo for a fake. Because of a lack of signature or date. However, the document is published on the official Ministry of Justice. What this argument is invalidated.
Musk, Loomer, Posobiec – the usual suspects
Elon Musk, billionaire and former Trump-Großpender, who has now been against him for Trump’s massive spending policy and wants to found a new party, was one of the volume critics. Previously, he had accused Trump to hold back the so-called “Epstein files”. Because he himself appeared in it (contributions he later deleted). On Monday he released X Memes on his platform, which made fun of the missing customer list. Including a picture with the inscription “Official counter for Jeffrey-Epstein arrests for pedophilia” with all points to zero. He also shared a contribution by the Texas Republican MP Sarah Fields. This wrote: “If the entire government protects pedophiles, it is officially the government against the people.”
The bondi strike into the water
Justice Minister Pam Bondi had already announced “groundbreaking revelations” in the Epstein case in February. However, she had only delivered files with already publicly accessible material, which she handed over to some right -wing influencers. In order to intercept the inevitable frustration about the “Epstein Files: Phase One” Debacle “Phase One” Debacle, Bondi also wrote a letter to FBI director Kash Patel. In it she claims that the FBI has held back requested evidence. (A “phase two” has not been published since then.)
The new memo of the FBI and Ministry of Justice tightened the already flared up criticism of Bondi. Trump supporter and conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer repeatedly demanded her resignation on Monday. “Hopefully today someone at the press conference in the White House is asking whether President Trump is planning to fire Pam Blondi,” she wrote on X. Although she used her usual, derogatory nickname for the Minister of Justice. “If it is not fired after this Epstein memo, people will really see black.” The right influencer Jack Posobiec, one of the recipients of the disappointing “phase-one” files, wrote: “When will @agpambondi release the epic files from the criminal proceedings?” Everything was promised. “
Wild allegations and sealed evidence
The right podcaster Tim Pool meanwhile accused Bondi of “keeping tens of thousands of children’s porn videos to themselves”. According to the Memo of the Ministry of Justice and the FBI, investigators have “a large amount of pictures of the Epstein, pictures and videos of victims that seem to be minors. And over ten thousand downloaded videos and pictures of illegal child abuse and other pornography” – everything checked. The document makes it clear that no videos of child abuse are published. And that a large part of the rest of the material is sealed under the court decision, “to protect the victims” and “no further third parties of a criminal act could be accused”.
Questions in the White House – and a retractor at Bongino
At the press conference in the White House, press spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt was asked by Peter Doocy (Fox News) about Bondis Earlier claim that she had an Epstein customer list on her desk. Leavitt replied: “She spoke of the entirety of all documents. All papers in connection with Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. The Minister of Justice said. And I leave the further explanation to her.”
Already in May, conspiracy theorists had to explain why FBI vice director Dan Bongino-who was strongly indicated as a podcaster, that Epstein was murdered-suddenly declared that he had committed suicide. “In the case, there is no evidence of anything else,” he wrote in May on X. Kash Patel, a well-known Qanon supporter, had previously claimed that the FBI could “simply tell us who the pedophiles are”. However, he has not published an Epstein customer list since he took over the authority.
Old narrative – new disappointment
Even if a lot remains unclear in the Epstein case, there were no indications of the legendary list of customers in court documents or in testimony, which was once propagated by Bongino and Patel. And that now falls on your feet like a boomerang. But for the conspiracy pendants there is a silver stripe on the horizon. Since you will never get your desired answers, you can continue to invent everything freely.
