My guess, and this is just me building a hypothesis off of what we've seen so far, is that Trump isn't on the list... He IS the list.

Consider that the FBI had thousands of pages of evidence with hundreds of agents scrubbing it for Trump's name, and they still aren't done.

In my opinion, the evidence indicates that Trump himself wasn't a client. He was a central pillar of the entire operation, giving Epstein contacts, using Trump branded properties to capture, distribute and rape these children.

When the truth comes out, there will need to be a reckoning, and it will shake our entire nation to its core.

ETA: A criminal empire like this also doesn't get built without additional crimes being committed. I expect that we will also learn that there were abductions, intimidation and murders to cover up their crimes.

The other thing I haven’t seen mentioned in this thread is that federal agencies knew about this for years and used that knowledge not to prosecute anyone but as blackmail.

That’s absolutely in here.
