Acosta's statement that Epstein "belonged to intelligence" remains unexplained. Multiple former intelligence officials have suggested Epstein ran a honeypot operation.

The classic structure: provide access to underage girls, film the encounters, use the footage for leverage. It's been done before by multiple agencies.

Ghislaine Maxwell's father, Robert Maxwell, was buried with state honors in Israel. He was suspected of working for Mossad. The connection is circumstantial but suggestive.

Epstein's New Mexico ranch had a landing strip. His planes were equipped with communication systems unusual for private aircraft. Someone was investing in infrastructure.

The question isn't whether intelligence agencies knew about Epstein. The question is whether they ran him, used him, or simply looked the other way because he was useful.

All three are damning. And all three remain possible. The full truth may be classified for decades.
