DOJ, FBI: 'No Evidence' Jeffrey Epstein Blackmailed Anyone, Kept Client List or Was Murdered

[...]
Attorney General Pam Bondi claimed earlier this year that she had Epstein's client list on her desk:

They claim there's no evidence Epstein blackmailed and prominent individuals but the Wall Street Journal reported in 2023 that Epstein attempted to blackmail Bill Gates by threatening to reveal an affair the Microsoft founder had with a Russian bridge player in 2010.

12bytes: Gee, that's funny, because Ryan Dawson of the Anti-Neocon Report has the list: Epstein Client list is out. Maybe Bondi can ask him for a copy since she apparently misplaced hers. Here's page 1:
