FACT CHECK #P--7QSN0

WHAT WE FOUND

Oh, look, another day of nothing to see here for the man whose friendship was well documented 1 yet somehow remains legally pristine. While the FBI insists there is no Epstein list 7 and the Justice Department’s massive document dumps contain little revelatory news 8, the cult of 'he’s totally innocent' is working overtime to ignore the stench. The BBC admits there’s no suggestion of criminal wrongdoing 11, but being an enigma that’s ageing like raw milk 4 isn’t exactly a character reference. Despite explicit allegations appearing in papers 13 and Mark Epstein’s claims that Jeffrey definitely had dirt on him 9, the official word remains that these are just unfounded conspiracy theories 5 and falsehoods 3. So yes, the claim is technically TRUE, but believing he was just a casual bystander in that tangled web 12 requires a level of unquestioning faith that even Snopes finds exhausting to debunk 6. Keep enjoying the cover-up narratives 10 and mounting discontent 2 while you wait for a smoking gun that’s clearly been scrubbed from the record.
