Jeffrey Epstein's "client list" may in fact actually exist, and Donald Trump's pissed because he can't expose it to the world ... this according to conservative commentator Michael Knowles.
00:00I am not just fascinated now, I'm obsessed with Trump's reaction to a question yesterday about the Epstein files, whether they exist or not.
00:14I have sources that are telling me, even though Trump was on one of the flight lists, there's nothing behind it in the file.
00:22So why is Trump lashing out this way in a very uncharacteristic way about the Epstein file?
00:30I think you're totally right.
00:32I think right now the left is going and saying Trump's seriously implicated in the file.
00:36There's no evidence of that.
00:37If that were true, the Democrats would have released it last administration.
00:40That's not it.
00:41The reason is, and I think the reason why Trump is so angry about this is, we were never going to get the Epstein files.
00:48There was a list, then there wasn't a list, then there were clients, there aren't any clients.
00:52Ghislaine Maxwell is in prison for trafficking girls to nobody, I guess.
00:57It's all kind of silly.
00:59It's preposterous.
01:00But we were never going to get the files.
01:01Because either the official story is true and Epstein was just a rich sex freak and all those rich and famous people had nothing to do with him.
01:09Or he was tied up with intelligence, as Alex Acosta reportedly said.
01:14Or he was interwoven with all of these heads of state and billionaires and all the rest.
01:20And if that's the case, we were never going to get the file.
01:22Now, I suspect, and this is pure speculation, I think Trump is irritated because he's had a lot of big wins domestically, foreign policy, on immigration, on the economy, all these things.
01:31He wants to be talking about that.
01:33And he knows that he is constrained by statecraft from going any further with the Epstein case.
01:38That if you reveal all the most wealthy, powerful people in the world tied up with this thing, you could unravel the entire world order.
01:44He just can't do it.
01:45Biden couldn't do it.
01:46No one's going to do it.
01:47And so he wants to move on.
01:48But what you're saying, then, is you believe there is a list, but there are, you know, it's sort of like the Kennedy assassination, where they said, we can't handle the truth.
02:00You're saying it exists.
02:01I don't think there's a list like, you know, one, two, three, four on the back of a napkin, but I think the guy had clients, wouldn't you say?
02:08I mean, if he didn't have clients, then Ghislaine Maxwell should be let out of prison today.
02:11Can Donald Trump keep a secret?
02:14Apparently.
02:14You know, the man is more discreet than he gets credit for, but he's not hiding his emotions here.
02:21He's saying, look, I've got all these big wins.
02:23I'm trying to do the responsible thing.
02:25I can't release this list.
02:26People are yelling at me.
02:27Why can't we talk about the border or whatever?
