https://www.newsweek.com/kash-patel-jeffrey-epstein-files-update-release-vote-2130678FBI Director Kash Patel told U.S. senators on Tuesday morning that there is "no credible information" in case files that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked young women to anyone other than himself.
The remarks came during a heated hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee, in which Republican Louisiana Senator John Kennedy asked Patel about his knowledge of the Epstein files.

(130,505 posts)Looks like Trump's pet garden gnome is trying very, very hard to whitewash the Epstein files to be sure Dear Leader can't be associated with sex trafficking. If BFF Epstein didn't do it, then of course Trump can't have done it either.
What a lot of bullpucky.

(1,693 posts)More importantly, I dont think he was all that rich (well now Im sure thats changing, hes in with the grifters).
From what I can tell, much of Epsteins crowd was pretty wealthy (and white).
Patel is just deflecting, because hes basically Trumps loyal chihuahua.

That's pretty lame, Kash.

(2,289 posts)is that the reason there are no files, is that all of them were confiscated by Trump, in order to do his biggest grift of all,

It will probably lead you to a number of Trump's financial supporters ... which is why he won't pursue it.

Todays New Narrative: Kash Patel now says Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson left behind manifesto that was destroyed but FBI can forensically prove its existence.

(130,505 posts)it also alleges that Epstein "and others known and unknown, willfully and knowingly did combine, conspire, confederate, and agree together and with each other, to commit an offense against the United States, to wit, sex trafficking of minors..." https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/press-release/file/1180481/dl So where did that come from, Kash, you lying sack of shit? Others were involved. Who were they?

From at least in or about 2002, up to and including in or about 2005, in the Southern District of New York, JEFFREY EPSTEIN, the defendant, willfully and knowingly, in and affecting interstate and foreign commerce, did recruit, entice, harbor, transport, provide, and obtain by any means a person, knowing that the person had not attained the age of 18 years and would be caused to engage in a commercial sex act, and did aid and abet the same, to wit, EPSTEIN recruited, enticed, harbored, transported, provided, and obtained numerous individuals who were less than 18 years old, including but not limited to Minor Victim-1, as described above, and who were then caused to engage in at least one commercial sex act in
Manhattan, New York.

Blatant lie #1 (see info from indictment above)
Blatant lie #2
In July 2006, the FBI began its own investigation of Epstein, nicknamed "Operation Leap Year". It resulted in 53 page indictment in June 2007.
The Bush DOJ/Alex Acosta ultimately decided against pursuing the indictment and instead gave him the sweetheart deal. But I suspect it would be rather difficult to develop a 53-page indictment with "a very limited search warrant, or set of search warrants" and not "as much investigatory material as it should have seized". Considering the 2019 indictment was only 14 pages and referred only to the period 2002-2005, and thus was likely based at least in part on evidence collected during the 2006 investigation.
