Why the DOJ hasn’t leaked Jeffrey Epstein’s client list already?

  I believe you don't know how many people work for the government.

    Yeah, I'm friends with the janitor down at my local post office. He checked out the list and said it was all good. Only an extremely restricted handful of people will have access to any true government secrets, the world isn't a spy movie, access controls exist everywhere.

      Ah yes... the really big but also really small conspiracy.

  Bill Clinton couldn't keep a blowjob secret while being a sitting president. I doubt this is any easier to hide.

    Once they knew they had a secret to keep Bill and Monica were perfectly willing to lie under oath about it and would have presumably taken it to the grave had Lewinsky not previously confided in Tripp who recorded subsequent phone conversations about it, a rookie mistake on Lewinsky's part, she didn't know what she had gotten caught up in at that time. Edit: I'm not trying to be a lightening rod for jerks who are looking for a tin foil hat to dunk on. I'm just trying to add context.

      You're proving the point you're trying to contest. It's a perfect example of the "three can keep a secret if two of them are dead" quote frequently attributed to Benjamin Franklin. A two-person conspiracy and it leaked almost immediately.

        My point was to add context Bill and Monica. I'm not trying to contest anything but I will admit that I should have known better than to not say that up front to head off such pedantry. I almost cited the "two can keep a secret if one is dead" proverb.

Because we tend to follow laws. Same rules of sealing during grand Jury testimony tend to work for everyone, not just a few.

  I agree. But the thing I don't understand is why more people haven't been charged yet? Surely someone from the prosecution side of things has had access to it. Perhaps the evidence is too weak to support any case.

Because there is no “client list”.

Probably because the majority on “the list” aren’t ‘enemies’ and are part of the intelligentsia or what have you. Else those names would have been conveniently inadvertently leaked on an “unprotected server” just as inexplicably as security cameras going off line at the moment they could have caught a crime.
