When these documents were pried (rhetorically) from Jeffy Epstein’s dead hands – or, more accurately, stemming from Virginia Giuffre’s lawsuit against short-term New Hampshire property owner Ghislaine Maxwell – the names on that alleged list were not easy to find.
Everyone was looking for names. Where are the names? Who is on “the list.”
Several searches produced nothing. The usual mainstream media suspects had articles about the doc release, the lawsuit, and the judge who declared the documents with the names could be made public, and there were a handful of actual names, but not all. Bill Clinton. Prince Andrew. Donald Trump. Nothing we didn’t know.
They were out there, somewhere, but I’d expected a flood of content upon release, with every one of them including a nice, neat, easy-to-share “list.”
I found one this morning—Newsweek, of all places. Emphasis, mine.
The names were unsealed from a lawsuit filed by Virginia Giuffre, an alleged trafficking victim, against British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former girlfriend. Maxwell, 61, is serving a 20-year prison sentence after she was convicted in December 2021 of helping Epstein recruit and sexually abuse underage girls.
Many of those whose names appear in the documents released Wednesday aren’t accused of wrongdoing or have been mentioned previously in legal proceedings or news accounts. The documents released Wednesday are not an Epstein “client list.”
What they are exactly will be up to the people who read it. Still, you’d be right to wonder why they appear in previously sealed court documents related to the human trafficking trial of a woman linked to a pedophile operation.
Some of these names may be the result of an inconveninet coincidence—some of them. You get to decide, and you can view the released documents for yourself in search of context – and please share your thoughts in the comments. I’m still skimming them, but could not resist getting something out there for people like me looking for some sort of list.
Newsweek ads that,
Some portions of the records will remain confidential, including those identifying people who were children when they were sexually abused by Epstein, who took his own life in August 2019 in a federal prison in Manhattan as he awaited trial on sex-trafficking charges.
Preska gave lawyers for each of the people named the opportunity to review the files before they were unsealed and argue in favor of keeping them out of public view.
Here are the names Newsweek pulled from the linked docs. Again, not a client list but a list of known associates or persons of interest of either Epstein or Maxwell that turned up at trial. We leave the rest up to you, dear reader, with more speculation on this, most certainly to follow. There are 90 lines, but four were redacted – which leaves us with 86 named.
