I loved The Stand and Carrie, I've read others but don't remember them! Nothing too long or heavy

He explained right after when people got salty about it:

Did Epstein traffic young girl? Yes, of course. Is there a client list? Doubtful. Conspiracy fodder.

I've actually been deliberately not using the phrasing "client list" for this exact reason. Trump admin people talked about a specific client list, of course, and there were surely multiple lists of people involved in Epstein's files, but the idea that there is a single master list of "clients," with people either on it and guilty, or not on it and innocent, is almost certainly false and probably a harmful oversimplification in both directions.

Perhaps it was poor judgement of him to try and convey that in a single sentence twitter post, in fact even using twitter at all.

Using Twitter is indeed always a mistake.
