An FBI memo concludes that there is no Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislaine Maxwell Client List! Ghislaine might be wondering why she's in jail. Jeffrey had no comment.
In simpler times, before computers and cell phones, a high class Brothel would be raided, the Madame in custody and supposedly out there somewhere, was the BLACK BOOK. The BLACK BOOK was this item that contained the names of the Clients. Since this was a high priced Brothel, the Clients were the rich, the famous, the influential, the movers and the shakers along with the predilections of their sexual preferences. Now the predilections were in the BLACK BOOK because the Madame wanted to take good care of her rich clients and needed to remember what they liked.
Promises of the release of this nefarious tome would flood the newspapers and magazines. Alas much to the chagrin of those who waited patiently for the release of the BLACK BOOK, it just never happened. This thing never got produced and the public never got to learn what was in it.
Maybe the thing was a total fiction or maybe having someone's name and phone number in a book is not evidence of a crime. Even if it had some indications of what that person liked to do, when satiating their libido. Remember the crime is exchanging money for sex, not having someone's name in a book. The only well known Client we can ever remember getting busted, was one Charlie Sheen. Yeah the guy with the tiger blood, who could consume Cocaine 8 Balls and Escorts like they were gummy bears. But Charlie wasn't busted because his name was in the BLACK BOOK. He was busted because he paid with a check. Maybe he had one 8 Ball too many and forgot the oldest adage, when engaging in the oldest profession. Only use cash.
But jump ahead to today and hardly anything gets written down on paper. We use electronics for almost everything and in place of the BLACK BOOK is the CLIENT LIST. And once again just having someone's name and phone number on an electronic device, is not evidence of a crime. Even if it says something like Bill Clinton 202-###-#### and have cigars on hand.
What the FBI memo is really saying is. We convicted Jeffrey Epstein and never mentioned a Client. We arrested him again for the same thing and would have convicted him again, without mentioning a Client. We arrested, tried and convicted Ghislaine Maxwell without ever mentioning a Client. What makes you think we will tell you now?
