Increased duties at work are making it a little harder to get out an editorial everyday, so this one will be short. (Not just in length, but emotionally because it’s getting so hard to stomach the blatant lies.) I’m going to leave most of the headlines about Team Trump and free speech to speak for themselves, but they are shared with everyone today to help make up for the lack of much of an editorial.
The main thing that stands out to me is how many conservatives are starting to speak out against Blondi, Trump, Kash Patel and others for eviscerating free speech. Even beyond-Right sites like Infowars are taking down the attacks against free speech that have come from the new Republicans. So, that’s some good news, but OH THE LIES! They are rank!
While Kash Patel does a good job of taking down Adam Schiff, he gets a little take-down of his own from John Kennedy, the Republican from Louisiana, who sounded incredulous when Patel tells him that the only person Epstein ever trafficked little girls for was himself; but he’s going to get a harsher take-down from me.
The FBI, Patel claims, has ZERO evidence that Epstein ever trafficked girls to anyone other than Epstein. Unbelievable! How can Republicans even stomach these lies anymore, and clearly some are finally getting to where they cannot, so they are speaking out … as it is just TOO MUCH. Good on them! My intensity is intended to prod more to do what they should have been doing all along.
I mean, think about this! SERIOUSLY? Epstein only trafficked those 1,000+ girls for his own benefit, and those big orgies he threw were all for his own benefit, and all those people who attended were just there to help him celebrate his own fun with underage girls??? What is wrong with these people like Patel who claim to believe this stuff? Let’s hope the party gets a spine to stand up to the blatant nonsense.
With the number of women who have stepped forward publicly, it’s an enormous insult to anyone’s intelligence or an enormous insult to government intelligence to say that the government’s most powerful intelligence-gathering body has ZERO evidence that Epstein trafficked underage women to the benefit of his clients! You want evidence? Why don’t you try talking to all those women, many of whom said publicly in the last couple of weeks that the FBI and Pam Bondi have never yet even tried to talk with them!
At last, a few Republicans are starting to speak out against the blatant lies or unbelievable and intolerable stupidity and incompetence. One GOP member, Rep. Thomas Massie, says in the headlines below that the FBI has twenty names of suspected Epstein clients. That comes right on the heals of Pablum-Patel saying they have NOTHING. The names include prominent figures in the music industry, finance, politics and banking.
Go after them, for crying out loud, and give up this charade of pretending you just cannot find them! What a disgrace if the FBI cannot find people who partied in plain sight and cannot figure out how to talk to the victims to pull together a list of names of the people they were expected to service. They must really believe their followers are dumb if they think they can keep pushing such obvious lies or that their followers will tolerate any level of injustice.
Massie’s statement comes as FBI Director Kash Patel testified under oath before Congress over two days of contentious hearings, during which he continued to insist that there is no “client list” and no credible evidence that Epstein trafficked underage girls to anyone other than himself.
Good grief! This is SO FAR beyond stupid that I cannot believe there I had readers who got so upset with me for calling it out that they terminated their support (again). But go ahead. Calling out the truth against such absolutely blatant lies is a must-do, whatever the cost to me, even as more have run off, telling me how arrogant I am to call this stuff out so intensely. How can you not get intense about such lying or stupidity. Call it whichever way you want, but it is either one, the other, or both at the same time.
But Massie cited files used by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York which summarize interviews with witnesses and suspects.
The lawmaker claimed those files include “one Hollywood producer worth a few 100 million dollars, one royal prince, one high-profile individual in the music industry, one very prominent banker, one high profile government official, one high profile former politician, one owner of a car company in Italy, one rock star, one magician, at least six billionaires, including a billionaire from Canada. We know these people exist in the FBI files, the files that you control.”
And that, of course, is the real reason Team Trump isn’t going after any of them and and why they keep lying so blatantly and saying Epstein trafficking clients don’t even exist! Just knock it off and go after these perps and protect these women! Show some integrity, and thank goodness a few like Massie have had enough.
Patel said he asked FBI agents to review the existing files and added “any investigations that arise from any credible investigation will be brought. There have been no new materials brought to me.”
Then stop waiting for them to COME TO YOU! Go after them and get them! Talk to the women and create a list of the people they entertained and start interrogating those people. Put pressure on those people to cough up names. Do what the FBI supposedly does so well. Stop making a joke of yourselves.
Patel blamed former Miami federal prosecutor Alexander Acosta for what he called the “Original Sin” — explaining that the decision to give federal immunity to Epstein in 2008 has hampered almost every effort by the FBI and Justice Department to hold those involved in Epstein’s criminal operation accountable.
What a baloney cop-out! Epstein isn’t even alive, so his immunity dies with him. Anything you go after cannot possibly harm him. He’s in a grave! These excuses is so far below dumb they cannot even touch the bottom of dumb. You have to wonder how someone like Patel ever got a job for which he had zero qualifications, having never done anything significant in either intel or law enforcement. He’s a walking joke of utter incompetence or shear lies. And if calling out something that obvious makes ME arrogant, well so be it!
Maybe he could start by doing something as easy as going over and talking to Massie.
