The Great Epstein Lie

I’ve written about Jack Glasure, my PR mentor, before. In addition to PR, he taught me about an industry that I didn’t even know existed: relationship brokering.
It works like this: Jack networked with everyone and their brother. His rolodex was, quite literally, tens of thousands of names deep. Very often, he’d learn that contact A could financially benefit from meeting contact B.
And so, for a finder’s fee, he’d put the two contacts together.
Full disclosure: Jack and I have split finder’s fees for deals between our contacts, including a very nice six-figure payout when a sports league changed hands. (I knew the owner; he knew the financier — and when a deal was struck, we both profited.)
Keep this in mind when reading about the Epstein document dump, because the emails and communications between professional networkers — which Jeffrey Epstein certainly was (among many other things, of course) — are explicitly designed to perpetuate the illusion of close, intimate friendships.
...
Much of the media is marveling over the depth and scope of Jeffrey Epstein’s celebrity relationships: Somehow, he knew everyone. From NFL owners to tech giants to global leaders to European royalty, Epstein corresponded with every big-name he possibly could.
Well, yeah. If you’re a professional networker, that’s exactly what you do!
...
The second problem is even worse: Too many news outlets are run by lazy, left-wing ideologues whose biases lead to embarrassing mistakes — and/or the deliberate dissemination of fake news.
Take, for example, the slew of reports about Elon Musk’s involvement with Jeffrey Epstein. A shockingly large number of outlets claimed that Musk begged to visit “Epstein Island” — but was such a dork, he wasn’t allowed to visit.
Here’s the “email” that caused the controversy:
...
Just one small problem: That email exchange between Musk, Epstein, and Maxwell doesn’t exist. It was completely, entirely, 100% made up!
It was debunked right away, including on the Lead Stories website on Jan. 31, 2026:
...
Furthermore, I’d be extremely cautious about overanalyzing Epstein’s actual emails, too. After all, he was a professional networker — which means he made money by monetizing his relationships. It was, at least in part, his profit-model.
Which also means Epstein was incentivized to exaggerate about the closeness of these relationships: When people pay you for access, you don’t want them to cut you out and go behind your back.
Therefore, everyone in your rolodex is your “close, personal friend.” Everyone you know is “like family.”
Especially when they’re not, because that’s how the relationship-brokering game is played.
Two bottom-line messages here:
1. Epstein was a professional networker, a relationship broker. Consequently, he "knew" and contacted lots of people, and exaggerated that "knew" for profit. So if Insert Name Here appears hundreds or thousands of times in Epstein emails and collected news records, it may mean little more than Epstein "collected" people for possible future relationship brokering and "finders fees".
2. MSM Trump-Hatred is so huge that virtually any Hate-Trump Gotcha-Trump is too good to fact-check, and won't be corrected until after the falsehood is well circulated.
