3. I get that but the marks don't know that.

There are a lot of people who really did participate in raping girls with Epstein. They know they did. They know their names might be on flight manifests, or visitor logs, or someplace in Epstein's papers. We know that Epstein made a lot of money blackmailing people. He kept evidence.

They're guilty and they're willing to pay or give Trump favors in return for not being named.

At first we expected Trump to release some made-up list that had only names of Democrats on it. I couldn't understand why he suddenly refused to do this.

Then I got to thinking about how blackmail runs Trump's life and it makes sense. This phantom list is a powerful tool.

The minute he releases something - anything - the blackmail power is over.
