Meet the Journalist Who Called Every Name in Epstein's Little Black Book

[Uncle Joe]

Journalist Leland Nally made 2,000 phone calls and attempted to contact every single powerful & influential name in Epstein's 97-page black book. This is what he learned about Epstein's web of deceit.

Five years ago, investigative journalist Leland Nally decided to call every single name in Jeffrey Epstein’s 97-page black book that included the names of celebrities, politicians, bankers, funders, philanthropists, academics, and an assortment of wealthy, powerful people who travel and party in elite, incestuous circles.

3. I think things that have at least claimed to be it were out

However, it was not a list of clients. It was essentially Epstein's address and phone book. As such it has people who were not involved I his activities and it could well NOT have everyone involved in wrongdoing. It is not the client list that is sought.

Still the reporter's calling is something the FBI or people prosecuting his and Maxwell's crimes should have done. At this point, I think Senator Wyden's attempt to follow the money might be the most promising thing to do. Although in some known cases, he got large amounts of money for "tax" or "investment" advice even though he did not have credentials in either and people like Wexler and Black likely had people already doing both. Thus even if people who gave Epstein large sums may make similar claims.

4. The unredacted copy I found claims to be part of a national security archive, I believe...

and it contains the same hand-drawn boxes around some of the contacts that appear in the redacted version that the FBI released.

5. There were lots of women in that book wo were WAY too long in the tooth

to be particularly fascinating to Epstein on any level, so I think that particular book contained the names of people he had likely wined and dined at one of his mansions, [ossibly as guests of other people, and who would return the favor by allowing him to extend his tentacles just a little farther into some hall of power or other. Women will often make introductions their more cautious husbands will not.

That's my take, anyway, and it's probably wrong.
