Just gonna throw a quick thought exercise out really quickly:
It's pretty apparent based on the background (Daddy Robert Maxwell), statements (Alex Acosta "he was with the intelligence community") and events surrounding his death, it's pretty obvious Epstein was an intelligence community blackmail op.
But since everyone knows that...
If any of that blackmail gathered against powerful people on Epstein Island or his New Mexico ranch were actually made public against someone, the public would immediately know the IC-based blackmail story were true.
So the blackmail would have been rendered worthless at this point.
They burned their own op by making it so obvious.
