Excellent. Is this the one the government said didn't exist?

It has been out there available to the public since the first trial. It's his address book and therefore has many names of famous and powerful people. We also have the flight logs for his jet. What we don't have is a definitive list of any perpetrators of crimes for which he has been accused.

And, frankly, I can't imagine he would keep such an incriminating list. If he did, it would be kept in a very safe place such as a bank's safety deposit box or perhaps a numbered PO box somewhere offsite. Which would lend credence to the claim by the DOJ and FBI that there is no so-called "black book" in any of the Epstein documents.

It is very possible that the DOJ and FBI got way ahead of themselves in claiming there was such a list or so-called "black book". However, there is plenty of video and most likely other physical evidence of criminality and therefore plenty of reason to investigate the blackmail and other allegations. It's being avoided because he is an intelligence asset and any investigation would compromise sources and methods as well as expose potential criminality of wealthy, powerful, famous or well-connected people. It is why we will learn very little more than we know now unless citizen journalists uncover it.

What the govt says doesn’t exist is what I’ll call an official list. In other words, one that has been properly vetted and could be used to guide various investigations. The information is in various documents, but my understanding is no one has yet spent the time and money to compile it all into a meaningful list. Complicating things is the fact that a lot of information is legally off limits.

The flight manifests are not. We already know that Clinton appeared on them twenty-six times, and wrnt five times without his security detail.

It’s. Phone book not the so- called list.

Yes, that is why it was called his address book, which has been referred to as his little black book.
