Rightwing influencers indignant over FBI claim that Jeffrey Epstein’s client list doesn’t exist (www.theguardian.com)

Rightwing influencers in the US who are often aligned with Donald Trump are angry that a joint justice department and FBI memo has dismissed the existence of a “client list” in the case against late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The disgraced financier killed himself in a jail cell at the Metropolitan Detention Center in New York City in 2019 while awaiting prosecution on child sex-trafficking and conspiracy charges.

Almost ever since, Epstein’s death has been the subject of conspiracy theories on the right, including a supposed “client list” that he purportedly used to blackmail wealthy co-conspirators.

was happy when I checked r/conservative yesterday (I know I shouldn't check). and practically all the comments were about how they were disappointed, or actually starting to understand that Trump is in the list or protecting his buddies.

However, when I checked today, lots of top comments were peddling a conspiracy theory about how Trump is under threat of the deep state, and if he releases it he and his family will get murdered. There had to be some AstroTurfing injecting conspiracy theories.

Anyone who is willing to consider the idea that their Dear Leader isn't the perfect reincarnation of Christ gets banned from there so the mods must have had a field day with that one.
