What Epstein’s Flight Logs Don’t Say… Is the Loudest Thing of All
It’s not who’s named—it’s who isn’t. And that’s what makes this so dangerous.
What Epstein’s Flight Logs Don’t Say… Is the Loudest Thing of All
It’s not who’s named—it’s who isn’t. And that’s what makes this so dangerous.
The Jack Hopkins Now Newsletter #432: July 18th, 2025
Let’s start with this: No, there is not an official “Epstein client list” released by any court, law enforcement agency, or government body.
However, here’s what does exist—and where much of the confusion and speculation comes from:
1. Flight Logs (Partial, Not a Client List)
These were obtained from pilots and released in court cases.
They show passenger names on Epstein’s private jets (aka the “Lolita Express”).
This does not prove criminal involvement—many were there for business, charity trips, or social functions.
Important: Epstein’s pilots often wrote down who was supposed to be on the plane—not necessarily who showed up.
📎 Example: Flight logs released in 2009 lawsuit
2. The “Little Black Book” (Contact Book)
Epstein’s personal address book was leaked in 2015 via a defamation lawsuit by Virginia Giuffre.
It includes hundreds of names: celebrities…royals…scientists…politicians…and staff—most of whom had no known criminal link.
Think of it as a high-society Rolodex, not a “client list.”
Some names have since distanced themselves publicly or denied knowing Epstein well.

3. Court Documents & Depositions (Ongoing Unsealings)
Recent lawsuits (e.g., Giuffre v. Maxwell, and the 2024 Doe v. JP Morgan case) have led to the release of more witness testimony and name references.
These documents sometimes name individuals accused or associated with Epstein’s world.
These are the most reliable sources of possible criminal allegations—but still… many names are just mentioned…not implicated. At least for now.

4. No “Client List” Has Been Confirmed or Released
The infamous “Epstein client list” often mentioned online is mostly rumor.
There is no master list of people who paid for or participated in illegal activity that has been made public.
If such a list exists…it is likely in sealed DOJ or FBI case files from the now-closed Epstein and Maxwell cases…or with prosecutors who may still be investigating.
Why This Matters
The lack of transparency—combined with selective leaks…redactions…and Epstein’s death in custody—has fueled endless speculation that the government is protecting high-profile individuals.
And that’s why so many people are still demanding:
Full release of all sealed documents
Names of all co-conspirators
Unredacted logs and files
Because when you seal the truth… the lies grow louder.
Some names leap off the page—celebrities…politicians…royals…financiers—tied to Epstein by proximity…not conviction.
It’s not proof. It’s a breadcrumb trail leading straight to suspicion.
And because the full files remain hidden—redacted, sealed, and locked—it’s the not‑knowing that stokes the scandal. Every missing page…every redacted name? That fuels the rumor mill and conspiracy whispers.
People don’t question “who’s guilty.” They ask: “Who’s hiding?”
Donald Trump
Appeared in Epstein’s flight logs…social photos…and was quoted praising Epstein’s taste in women. Then, last night, the story broke about the WSJ investigation regarding Trump’s alleged 2003 letter and drawing to Jeffrey Epstein. Of course, in recent years, Trump has claimed to have “had a falling out” with Epstein.

The Bottom Line:
Showing up on a list…flight log…or at a party doesn’t make someone a criminal—but it does cast a long, dark shadow.
Epstein’s power play hinged on access…influence…and plausible deniability.
The redactions…delays…missing documents and the refusal to release everything on Epstein…as promised… keep the rumor mill—and the dark suspicions—alive.
When the truth is hidden? People aren’t being irrational to assume someone important is hiding it.
Let’s be honest here...
Most Americans—left, right, or indifferent—suspect something stinks. They may not know every name, every detail, or every court motion... but they know how to smell a cover-up.
They know what it looks like when powerful people close ranks…when files get sealed… when names get blacked out… and when an administration flat out refuses to release anything related to Epstein
And you know what? They’re not wrong to feel that way.
Because when a man like Jeffrey Epstein…connected to royalty…presidents… billionaires…and media moguls…dies mysteriously in federal custody… when critical documents remain hidden from the public… when the DOJ plays redaction roulette… when major figures get mentioned…then erased… it stops being “conspiracy theory” and starts sounding an awful lot like institutional protection.
And the question burning in every honest mind isn’t “who’s guilty?”—it’s “who’s being protected?”
That’s not paranoia. That’s pattern recognition.
Here’s one thing we don’t have to speculate about. It’s not redacted. It’s not sealed. It’s not buried in some federal archive or locked behind a gag order.
Donald J. Trump, according to multiple nonpartisan fact-checking outlets made more false or misleading statements than any president in modern U.S. history.
That’s not name-calling. That’s documented fact—cataloged…cross-checked…and logged in real time by fact-checkers…journalists…and even former staffers who wanted to believe in him.
From crowd sizes to COVID lies…hush money to election fraud…he has lied with such reckless ease and frequency that it’s no longer a character flaw…it’s a G’damn communication strategy.
So when he tells you he “barely knew Epstein,” or that he “cut ties years ago,” or that his 2003 fan letter to Epstein means nothing…you’d have to be drunk on Kool-Aid or willfully blind to take that at face value.
He has lied to everyone—his voters…his staff, his own attorneys.
Again, that’s not opinion. That’s pattern.
And once a man proves he’ll lie about everything…the only rational response is to question every word out of his mouth.
My Thoughts on How Trump Attempts to Do Damage Control… and Why It’s Likely Going to Fail
Let me be clear: Donald Trump doesn’t do accountability. He does counterattacks.
He doesn’t apologize. He doesn’t explain. He reframes…redirects…and retaliates. So with GOP megadonors…prominent MAGA influencers…and even former allies now publicly calling for the release of the Epstein files—Trump’s instinct will be to treat it not as a legitimate demand from within his own base… but as a disloyal ambush.
We’ve alreeady seen evidence of this. He even went so far as to say, “…I don’t want their support…”
Expect him to stall and spin. He’ll say it’s out of his hands. He’s blaming Biden’s DOJ… the “deep state,” and even the very people asking him to release the records.
He’ll continue to float vague promises—“we’re looking into it,” “we’ll release what we can”—while turning the heat onto someone else.
This is classic Trump playbook:
When cornered…manufacture a bigger villain and shift the outrage. He won’t release the full files willingly…because he knows what’s in them might implicate someone he wants to protect…or worse, himself.
But this time, the move still appears to be backfiring. Why?
Because the pressure isn’t coming from MSNBC or The New York Times—it’s coming from inside the house.
From people who’ve spent years defending him…amplifying him…and in many cases… losing credibility for him.
When those voices demand transparency and get stonewalled? That betrayal cuts deeper. Trump’s refusal to come clean now looks less like “tough guy loyalty” and more like cowardice in a crisis.
And that’s why this damage control attempt is likely to fail.
The moment you make your inner circle feel like outsiders… the moment you make your influencers look like fools for defending you… is the moment they stop playing defense.
If Trump doesn’t release the files soon…it won’t just be a political wound…it’ll be a loyalty fracture…and in my opinion…that fracture has already happened…is uncasted…and will only get worse. If I’m right…and I’m human, so that’s possible…the people who once ran cover for him will start pulling the curtains back instead.
Please Make Sure You’re Striving to Do This
If you’ve been a subscriber to JHN for long, you know how often I talk about sleep being the King of Resilience Factors. If you fail, here…there’s not much else you can do to compensate for lack of sleep.
Diet won’t.
Exercise won’t.
Meditation won’t.
Supplements won’t.
The bottom line? If you screw yourself over on sleep…you’re screwing yourself over on resilience. There’s no way around it.
I’m putting my money where my mouth is, so to speak. Below is this morning's snapshot of my sleep over the last seven days. I track it….always. I aim for seven hours a night.
Through close monitoring over the years, I’ve found that this is my sweet spot. It’s the amount of sleep I must have…or my resilience and effectiveness begin to suffer.
What this tells me…is that I’ve fallen behind this week. I’m short an average of 22 minutes of sleep a night. I’ve been doing this long enough that I know that matters.
So, rather than kick my own ass and feel like a loser, I’m simply going to make some adjustments and work to get back those minutes each night.
Obsessive? If I were tracking how many times a day I spray Lysol on all the light switches, maybe. But, for the most important factor when it comes to psychological… emotional…and physical resilience? No. I call it being intelligent and committed to my effectiveness.
It’s true…I’m putting 80+ hours a week into this. But…it’s also true that I’m not using that as an excuse to become severaly sleep deprived. For me, it’s a priority. It’s really as simple as that.
So, I simply ask this: Aim to get enough sleep each night. It will make every aspect of your life better, while ignoring it…will make every aspect of your life…worse.
I’ll be back soon…with MORE.
Strong, you are!
Warmly,
-Jack
Trump has become Lady Macbeth: a sleepless wretch wandering around screaming at ghosts, raging at anyone who doesn't see them, all the while scrub, scrub, scrubbing and screaming go away damn scandal. His complete and total breakdown can't come quickly enough.
Excuse me, but isn't this a clusterfuck? Just asking.
