The coverup is not about the particular individuals who are on a blackmail list. So ignore everything I wrote, lol.

The coverup might be this instead:

To not disclose that top branches of the US, Israeli, or perhaps other governments were deeply involved in utilizing Epstein's expertise.

IOW disclosure would invariably compromise any sense of justice or due process claimed by the involved governments.

IE: what if the CIA controlled most of Epstein's activities? Or the FBI? Or the Justice Dept?

This could bring a government down.

I think it's a self evident truism that there IS a cover up. It's to protect either the entire system (in the form of prominent individuals who "run everything") or it's to protect the reputation of (probably) the US government.

It's definitely NOT the case that there is no cover up.
