The REAL reason the Epstein 'client list' is never getting released

Jeffry Epstein's rumored 'client list' will never be released to the public by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), according to a former agent.
John Kiriakou, an ex-CIA officer who was jailed for nearly two years in 2012 for sharing the agency's interrogation techniques to the press, shared his views on the controversial pedophile - including his opinion on the alleged list of clients.
Kiriakou, who sat down for an episode of Patrick Bet-David's podcast, told the media personality that he believes the alleged list will not see the light of day because it holds incredibly valuable intelligence information that the CIA would never hand over simply because the public demanded to see it.
The CIA whistleblower specifically said he believes that Epstein, 66, was employed by Israel's intelligence service, Mossad - and that is why the list will not come out.
'I believe that he was a Mossad access agent. It makes perfect sense to me,' Kiriakou said. It has never been established that Epstein had ties to Mossad.
'Jeffry Epstein, in my view, is a textbook case of an access agent. I've said this before, but I think it's important and it bears repeating,' he told Bet-David.
'If you are a foreign intelligence service and you want information from Bill Clinton, or Bill Gates, or Alan Dershowitz, or important people, you want secret information from them—you're not going to recruit them.
'They don't need anything from you. They don't have any financial vulnerabilities. So you do the next best thing: you recruit someone who has access to them, and you finance this person... he has a private island.'
He went on to mention Virginia Giuffre, who led the fight to bring Epstein to justice and claimed she was trafficked to have sex with Prince Andrew.
Giuffre died by suicide at the age of 41 in April.
In response to Bet-David's question on who Kiriakou thinks has seen the alleged list, the former agent replied: 'I think it's actually more than most people realize.'
'Virginia Giuffre and five other young women in their statements, in their lawsuit, told us there were rooms with banks of monitors... monitoring every room and every bathroom,' he continued.
'So if there were clients—and I believe there were—and they were having sex with minors—and I believe they were—every single person who was hired to monitor those screens would have known.
'I believe there was a list, a client list. There had to have been. We know there was a black book—it sold at Sotheby's for heaven's sake. So where is it? Was it destroyed? And even if it was, why didn't Ghislaine Maxwell try to use it to save herself?'
In recent weeks, Donald Trump 's administration has faced increasing scrutiny for their handling of the 'list' and the release of videos from inside New York's Metropolitan Correctional Center, where Epstein was housed until his death in 2019.
The scandal and alleged 'cover up', has prompted a rebellion in the MAGA world, as many of Trump's loyal supporters believe Attorney General Pam Bondi should be fired after promising to release all Epstein-related files.
Bondi came under fire a couple weeks ago after the Department of Justice said Epstein's 'client list' never existed.
She also squashed speculation that Epstein's 2019 jail cell death was anything other than a suicide.
Following the memo from his DOJ, which sparked a MAGA civil war, Trump became irate and said during a cabinet meeting that everyone should move on.
He has now called his supporters 'weaklings' for believing a Democrat-run 'hoax.'
When asked about the president going back and forth on the issue, Kiriakou said he does not believe the rumor that the administration is holding the files back because the president is implicated in them.
'I don't believe that for a second,' he said.
Kiriakou isn't the only one who believes Epstein allegedly worked for Mossad, as Tucker Carlson made the same claim earlier this month.
The former Fox News host issued the conspiracy theory that Epstein was an Israeli agent who blackmailed US politicians.
'The real question is, why was he doing this, on whose behalf, and where did the money come from?' Tucker asked about Epstein's mysterious fortune while speaking to a crowd of young voters in Florida.
'And those are the questions that need to be answered. And I think it's entirely fair to ask them.'
Carlson denounced the DOJ's findings, going on to share his own theory about Epstein's sinister scheme.
Carlson questioned where all of the billionaire's wealth came from, going from a math teacher to 'having multiple airplanes, a private island, and the largest residential house in Manhattan.'
'And no one has ever gotten to the bottom of that because no one has ever tried. And moreover, it's extremely obvious to anyone who watches, that this guy had direct connections to a foreign government,' he claimed.
He said the reason Epstein's connection to the Middle Eastern nation is not discussed publicly was because 'we have been somehow cowed into thinking that's naughty.'
'There is nothing wrong with saying that. There is nothing hateful about saying that. There's nothing anti-Semitic about saying that. There's nothing even anti-Israel about saying that,' Tucker asserted.
'And the effect of making that off-limits has been to create a lot of resentment and I'll say it, hate online, where people feel like they can't just say, 'What the hell is this? You have the former Israeli prime minister living in your house?"'
Carlson was likely referring to Epstein's close ties with the former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak.
Barak met with him dozens of times - and even allegedly stayed over at Epstein's place - starting in 2013.
'You have all this contact with a foreign government. Were you working on behalf of them? Were you running a blackmail operation on behalf of a foreign government?' he asked the stunned listeners.
Carlson also claimed that 'every single person in Washington DC' shares his sentiment, and none of them 'hate Israel.'
