Jeffrey Epstein's Former Attorney on 'Client List' and Death

Doubts About a 'Client List'

• 💬 David Schoen, former attorney for Jeffrey Epstein, stated he does not believe there is a client list and that Epstein did not plan to blackmail anyone.
• 💡 Schoen suggests that references to a "client list" likely referred to a file being reviewed, not a list of individuals Epstein intended to blackmail.
• 🎯 He emphasized that the appearance of wealthy and famous individuals in Epstein's address book does not imply their involvement in any nefarious activities.

Epstein's Associations and Allegations

• 🧐 Schoen recounted asking Epstein directly about Donald Trump, to which Epstein responded absolutely not, stating it was important to him that people not cast aspersions on Trump.
• 🖼️ He mentioned Epstein had a photo array at his home, including one of Bill Gates, which was related to a friendly bet, not any illicit activity.
• ⚖️ Schoen argued that if famous individuals had been involved with young women, lawyers representing victims would have already filed lawsuits.

Skepticism About Epstein's Death

• ❓ Schoen expressed his personal belief that Epstein did not commit suicide, citing anecdotal evidence and the findings of forensic medical examiner Michael Baden.
• 🔬 Michael Baden, who conducted an independent examination, reportedly stated that the injuries were not consistent with suicide and that medical examiners couldn't come to a conclusion.
• 🚨 Schoen also noted surprise that the Justice Department never investigated or interviewed him, despite him having seen Epstein shortly before his death.

Public Trust and Transparency

• 🗣️ The discussion touched on why public trust in the DOJ's handling of the Epstein case remains low, with some believing elites are getting away with something.
• 📰 Supporters of Donald Trump, who had been led to believe files would be released, felt there was a "bait and switch" when full transparency was not provided.
• 📈 Political commentators discussed how the Epstein files became a point of leverage for the Trump campaign, and how the lack of transparency is now being used by Democrats to question their trustworthiness.
