The sad quest for a secret 'Epstein client list'

Jeffrey Epstein , the infamous sex trafficker, died in custody in 2019 .

Florida 's attorney general had promised to release " Epstein Files: Phase 1" on Thursday .

But the documents in question turned out to be underwhelming.

Journalists, lawyers, and victims have already uncovered most of the people who Epstein surrounded himself with.

Epstein met with U.S. diplomat and future CIA chief William Burns in 2014 .

The content of those conversations is unlikely to have been written down, and even if it was, it's probably not in an FBI archive.

Chasing down the one last secret of the Epstein case might even be missing the forest for the trees.
