Patel responded, "Himself. There is no credible information, none. If there were I would bring the case yesterday that he trafficked to other individuals. And the information we have, again, is limited."


Limited by the capacity of the shredder, Kash?

It 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? Why weren't they charged at the time?

And he yanked Cory Booker around too.
He usually stays calm.
But not today.
I don't blame him.
