To quote the late, great Yogi Berra: “It’s déjà vu all over again.” The Epstein case is one of perpetual lies from our government. But people had high hopes that the new Sheriffs in town, Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, would finally and honestly answer many of the burning questions that have lingered about Epstein et al. Unfortunately, Bondi and Patel have turned out to have a tenuous relationship with the truth, too.
On July 6, 2019, Epstein was arrested at New Jersey's Teterboro Airport for conspiracy to commit sex trafficking and the sex trafficking of underage girls. The FBI wasted little time opening his New York’s mansion extremely large safe, which had the dimensions of a closet.
According to a July 8, 2019, New York Times article, federal authorities seized “hundreds—possibly thousands—of sexually suggestive photographs of girls who appear underage, as well as hand-labeled compact discs with titles like ‘Girl pics nude,’ and, with the names redacted, ‘Young [Name] + [Name].’”Judging by the titles on the discs, Epstein was a purveyor of child abuse material. The latter disc named by the New York Times is perhaps an indication of blackmail? Moreover, Business Insider reported that an FBI agent later divulged that “hard drives” were also taken from the safe.
Fast forward to February 21st of 2025: Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that the Epstein client list was “sitting on my desk” for review. On February 26th, she proclaimed on national television that the “Epstein files” would be released the following day: “What you’re gonna see tomorrow is a lot of flight logs, a lot of names, a lot of information.” But when the highly anticipated tranche of documents was released, her words had been much ado about nothing. She served us a nothing sandwich.
When the documents provided no new revelations, Bondi then declared that she had been bamboozled by the FBI’s New York field office. Regardless of how we slice Bondi’s actions, she has to shoulder the blame for the fiasco, because either she lied on national television, or she didn’t diligently review the documents on her “desk.” I’m a charitable person, and I initially ascribed her doublespeak to incompetence instead of mendacity.
But then she further tarnished her credibility when she said that federal law enforcement has a “truckload of evidence” on the Epstein case, and only matters related to “national security” would be redacted from the documents. So, now she has to explain the nexus between the most prolific child trafficker ever acknowledged by US law enforcement and his ilk of child molesters and national security.
But the crescendo of her mendacity was last month on May 7th, when Bondi assured us that the FBI and Justice Department would comb through Epstein’s huge cache of child abuse material. “There are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn and there are hundreds of victims,” Bondi told reporters at the White House. “And no one victim will ever get released. It’s just the volume and that’s what they’re going through right now. The FBI is diligently going through that.”
The aforementioned New York Times article from July 8, 2019, two days after Epstein’s arrest, noted that the FBI encountered “hundreds possibly thousands photographs of girls who appear underage.” So, Bondi’s May 7th statement is in line with the New York Times article, but it’s absurd to think that the FBI opened Epstein’s safe the day after he was arrested and it didn’t look at his discs and hard drives until now! The FBI and/or the malignant corner of our government that deployed Epstein was undoubtedly looking at the discs and hard drives that day or the day after the safe was opened.
Let’s take a look at Kash Patel regarding the maelstrom of lies that have been spewed about the Epstein case. He was initially framed as a straight shooter who would serve us a hearty helping of the truth. But Patel and the truth seemed to have had a quickie Tijuana divorce. Patel initially hawked Bondi’s lie about the FBI recently scouring the footage seized from Epstein.
“I’m not going to withhold information from the American public, ever,” Patel said when asked about the Epstein files. "So, on the Epstein matter and any other matters, we are diligently working on that. And it takes time to go through years of investigations, years of political maneuvering, and years of coverup to get the American people what they deserve. And that's what I'm gonna give them, on everything."
Again, to think that the FBI didn’t scour all of the footage seized from Epstein’s safe the day after his arrest is ludicrous.
But, now, Patel, appears to have taken quite the U-turn. On an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience taped last week on the June 5th, he seemed to disavow the existence of the tapes! “But the problem is there's been like 15 years of people coming in and creating fictions about this that doesn't exist,” Patel said.
So, Bondi says, “There are tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn and there are hundreds of victims.” But Patel has apparently demoted the tapes to “fictions.”
Let’s touch on the FBI’s Number 2—Dan Bongino, who had been skeptical of the Epstein suicide cover story. However, both Patel and Bongino are now absolutely certain that Epstein committed suicide. In fact, Bongino says he has a tape of Epstein committing suicide. The Bureau of Prisons, under the prior Trump administration, declared that the cameras at the Metropolitan Correction Center were not operational the night Epstein killed himself, and years later Bongino magically acquires a tape of Epstein killing himself.
Because Epstein died during the previous Trump administration, both the Trump administration and the Bureau of Prisons took major heat for the anomalies at Metropolitan Correction Center on the night of Epstein’s death, including the cameras being inoperative. If the Bureau of Prisons had footage of Epstein killing himself, it would’ve been released by now to quell the millions of Americans who are incredulous of the Epstein suicide cover story.
Epstein is Kryptonite to truth and justice, and the lies of our new Sheriffs in town have the disingenuous echoes of prior administrations.
