In what may be the most damning accusation yet surrounding the Epstein scandal, former CIA officer-turned-whistleblower John Kiriakou is blowing the lid off what many conservatives have long suspected — that Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t just a perverted billionaire with powerful friends, but a foreign intelligence asset used to blackmail and manipulate global elites.
Kiriakou, a former CIA analyst who served time for exposing the agency’s illegal torture practices, isn’t exactly a fringe voice. In a recent interview, he boldly claimed that Epstein operated as a “Mossad access agent” and that the CIA is deeply involved in suppressing the investigation to shield both foreign interests and America’s own corrupt elite.
“I believe that he was a Mossad access agent,” Kiriakou said plainly. “It makes perfect sense to me. Jeffrey Epstein is a textbook case of an access agent.” That is, someone who doesn’t need to extract classified information themselves, but gets close to powerful people and collects blackmail material — which is exactly what Epstein’s private island, his luxury homes, and his infamous jet seem designed for.
Kiriakou explained how this kind of intelligence operation works: “If you’re a foreign intelligence service and want information from powerful people, you don’t try to recruit the officials themselves — they’re too protected. So instead, you finance someone with access to them. That’s Epstein.”
Epstein didn’t just party with the rich and famous — he allegedly *trapped* them. According to sworn statements from Virginia Giuffre and at least five other survivors, Epstein’s homes were rigged with surveillance. “There were rooms with banks of monitors… monitoring every room and every bathroom,” Kiriakou said, suggesting damning blackmail footage may exist and could expose dozens — if not hundreds — of powerful clients.
And yet, despite years of public outrage and demands for transparency, that evidence remains hidden. Why?
Kiriakou’s answer is as chilling as it is unsurprising: the CIA is blocking the release. “I believe there was a list, a client list. There had to have been,” he argued, citing Epstein’s infamous “little black book,” which, incredibly, was once auctioned off at Sotheby’s. “So where is it? Was it destroyed? Why didn’t Ghislaine Maxwell try to use it to save herself?”
If true, this goes far beyond scandal. This is a national security breach that implicates intelligence agencies in protecting — not prosecuting — child sex trafficking, all to keep certain names out of the headlines. It’s no wonder so many Americans believe the deep state is real.
There may be a glimmer of hope. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche recently confirmed he has reached out to Ghislaine Maxwell’s legal team, expressing intent to meet with her — something no previous administration ever attempted. “That changes now,” he said.
Good. It’s long past time.
For years, the Epstein case has been a grotesque monument to elite privilege, buried evidence, and government silence. Conservatives have demanded answers while the media and institutions dragged their feet. But with whistleblowers like Kiriakou speaking out and a DOJ under pressure to act, maybe — just maybe — the truth is finally closing in.
If the Epstein client list ever does come to light, it won’t just be names we recognize. It will be proof that America’s most powerful institutions were willing to protect monsters to maintain control. And when that truth comes out, there better be consequences.
