The Jeffrey Epstein Bombshell

By Rich Kozlovich

Today I posted this article Assessing the Fallout From the Patel, Bongino Interview by Leesa K. Donner and truth is that interview hit the fan.  I'm linking two more articles dealing with this, with kind of opposing views.

First, Jeffrey Epstein and trust in the government by Dawn Merrill saying:

Ah, Jeffrey Epstein.  We finally have an official statement from our own side, and it contradicts every last thing our own side has believed now for years. Let’s all approach this analytically. I would be willing to bet that no one reading this right now was there in that jail cell.  No one reading right now was on the island, on the plane, or anywhere else relevant to the case.  We have secondhand knowledge at best.  It is easy to believe a conspiracy theory.  It is hard to admit it if you are wrong.......It is time to put faith in our government and move on from the Epstein cause of death......We have bigger fish to fry! 

Then there's this one by Todd Baumann, Kash and Bongino losing trust over Epstein saying:   

 

This past weekend on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, FBI director Kash Patel and his deputy, Dan Bongino, made a stunning declaration: Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide.  That was it.  Case closed.  Bongino even said he’s “seen the file,” as if that alone should convince the American people to move on.  But that’s not how this works. I couldn’t tell if I was watching an interview or a hostage video.The public doesn’t owe Patel and Bongino blind trust, especially not on a matter this explosive.  In fact, their appearance on Bartiromo’s show torpedoed their credibility.  

 

He then went on to list all the amazing irregularities, some of which seem to me to be criminal:

• The cameras outside Epstein’s cell mysteriously failed the night of his death.
• Two guards assigned to check on him allegedly fell asleep and didn’t perform their rounds.
• He was taken off suicide watch days after a prior “attempt,” against standard protocol.
• He had no cellmate at the time, though he had had one shortly before.
• The fractures in his hyoid bone and carotid artery were more consistent with strangulation than hanging, according to forensic experts.
• Dr. Michael Baden, a prominent pathologist who observed the autopsy, publicly stated that the evidence pointed to homicide.
• The staff at the prison were charged with falsifying records about their monitoring duties.  Those charges were later dropped.
• Key documents and surveillance footage have never been released or are said to have disappeared.
• The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) provided no meaningful accountability following his death.  The director of the BOP, appointed by Attorney General William Barr nine days after Epstein’s death, raises other questions.

He ends his commentary by saying:

Despite all this, the DOJ closed the case quietly and without holding anyone truly accountable.  This isn’t a tinfoil-hat conspiracy theory.  It’s a pattern of irregularities so staggering that any reasonable observer would demand real answers.

So, what's the answer? I have no idea, but I'm sure while this is going to pretty much end it officially, this is never going to end in people's minds.  Will we move on?  Yes, but this whole thing just stinks so badly.

 

Assessing the Fallout From the Patel, Bongino Interview

All in all, it was a riveting Q&A. 

By Leesa K. Donner | May 20, 2025 @ Liberty Nation News, Tags: Articles, Opinion, Politics

Say what you will about new FBI Director Kash Patel and his deputy Dan Bongino, but one thing is for certain: They are not boring. The second certainty is that they sure do know how to tease an audience. Both men fielded questions from Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on Sunday (May 18) and managed to infuriate some, please others, and leave everyone on both sides of the political aisle wondering what’s next.

In a wide-ranging interview, the FBI’s top cop and his wingman managed to touch on just about every political drama of the last eight years. They waxed about J6 events, Jeffrey Epstein, the two Trump assassination attempts, and the effort to rebuild public trust in America’s most powerful law enforcement agency.

Time to Take a Deep Breath

Conspiracy theories that mysterious forces silenced Jeffrey Epstein went down like a thud when FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino asserted that everything he’s seen shows that the fallen financier did indeed commit suicide. “He killed himself. I’ve seen the whole file. He killed himself,” Bongino interjected under pressure from Bartiromo. The backlash was swift, so much so that the former radio host felt the need to defend himself with a post on X, saying, “I was asked about some of the details surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case. I have reviewed the case. Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. There’s no evidence in the case file indicating otherwise.”

Your News – How You Like It!

But that was only the beginning of the explosive topics. The events of Jan. 6 were also center stage, but this time it was Patel who piped up. He confirmed that 26 informants were in DC on that fateful day. However, none of them were directed to be there by the FBI. Patel also teased, “We just found a trove of information, and it’s on its way to Capitol Hill right now.” The only clear-cut point that Patel was willing to put on record was that soon a document dump would occur, the clouds would lift, the seas would part, and the events of Jan. 6 would finally be transparent to all.

Patel alluded to the coming clarity in this sound byte, often referred to as the money quote:

“Look, I can speak to the people who were in our seats, our predecessors, and they intentionally failed the American public by putting on the biggest DC deception game we’ve ever seen. They said the FBI was the most storied institution, and it was, and will be again very soon. But when the likes of [James] Comey, [Andrew] McCabe, [Peter] Strzok, and company came in here with the James Bakers of the world and intentionally lied to a federal court only to rig a presidential election by lying to the American public and using taxpayer dollars – likely illegally – to fund this entire operation and then withhold exculpatory information from a federal court … That’s what broke the FBI. And then when they were caught, they lied about it.”

Patel insisted the Crossfire Hurricane documents are being brought to Congress “fast and hard” and “unredacted” and will ultimately be used to “restore the credibility” of the bureau.

The Patel, Bongino Road Show

Still, Patel made sure to tell Bartiromo that Americans must remember that the Federal Bureau of Investigation works under the Department of Justice – doing its bidding. So the real enemy here wasn’t the bureau but rather the DOJ. This is a somewhat specious argument at this point because it remains to be seen who went first – the chicken or the egg?

In other words, was the FBI acting under the Justice Department, or was it a rogue agency? Or did all this corruption originate from the executive branch? Patel and Bongino claim everything will soon be crystal clear. However, these questions and more still need forthright answers before blame can be assessed on all the corruption that many believe was at the heart of the Biden administration.

Patel and Bongino are now at the pinnacle of their power, serving in high-level positions. And they’ve claimed the mantle of the cowboys in the white hats, ready to take down the bad guys: 

“It’s a good thing we’re here now to clean it up, and you’re about to see a wave of transparency… Just give us about a week or two,” Patel asserted.

Cosmic Irony: Kash Patel Confirmed to Lead FBI

It will be an uphill battle to finally end J. Edgar Hoover’s toxic legacy.

By Scott D. Cosenza, Esq. Feb 21, 2025 @ Liberty Nation News Tags: Articles, Opinion, Politics

Kash Patel, like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, threatens not just to disrupt the status quo but to fundamentally change the agency he now leads and, perhaps, the country. Kashyap Pramod Vinod Patel was confirmed as the FBI director on Thursday, February 10, by a 51-49 vote in the US Senate. President Trump signed the commission shortly afterward, making him the ninth director of the agency. Patel promised to devote himself to remaking the FBI into a highly regarded protector of Americans rather than an establishment goon squad. He commented via a newly formed Twitter account: @FBIDirectorKash:

“The FBI has a storied legacy—from the ‘G-Men’ to safeguarding our nation in the wake of 9/11. The American people deserve an FBI that is transparent, accountable, and committed to justice. The politicalization of our justice system has eroded public trust—but that ends today.

“My mission as Director is clear: let good cops be cops—and rebuild trust in the FBI.”

In an appearance on Shawn Ryan’s self-titled show, Patel said: “I’d shut down the FBI Hoover Building on day one and reopen it the next day as a museum of the ‘deep state.’” It’s a remarkable statement to come from the man now heading the agency. For conservatarians and true liberals, Patel’s appointment should give cause for great optimism. While he served Trump’s first administration in various intelligence and national security roles, his earlier work history is somewhat shocking for an FBI director: Mr. Patel spent nearly a decade as a public defender.

FBI: Weaponized Justice for Generations

Patel will have to turn the clock back pretty far to a time when the bureau didn’t regularly violate the rights of the people it was instituted to protect. J. Edgar Hoover, the agency’s first director, held the position for 37 years. G. Gordon Liddy, the infamous Watergate burglar, claims to have learned his illegal breaking-and-entering skills as an FBI agent in the 1950s. In his autobiography, Will, he confesses that a disregard for the law was institutionalized then and that “black-bag” illegal break-ins were a regular and approved method of operation.

Bored? Check This Out!

Liddy also detailed the “extensive files he [Hoover] had on anyone with political power.” And that “anyone with any kind of power or national celebrity was represented and the quality of detail was remarkable.” Some of the bureau’s low-lights in the political world include a devoted effort to induce Martin Luther King Jr. to commit suicide and the running of COINTELPRO, a series of programs undertaken between 1956 and 1971 devoted to damaging Hoover’s political enemies and including all manner of official crimes.

Not Their Kind of Minority

Mr. Patel is a first-generation American whose federal service started as a DOJ attorney during the Obama administration. He followed that with a job working for Devin Nunes, a House member from California, when Nunes, a Republican, chaired the House Intelligence Committee. Patel was the primary author of the 2018 Nunes memo detailing FBI lies to the FISA court in service of surveilling Donald Trump’s campaign. He told Shawn Ryan: “My version of accountability is a little different than maybe what most people would think. I don’t have a hitlist, I don’t have a revenge march I’m on. I simply want the Constitution to be applied to everybody, in government, and outside government.”

Judiciary Committee Advances Kash Patel – Confirmation Coming Soon?

One step closer to confirmation. 

By Liberty Nation Authors Feb 13, 2025 @ Liberty Nation News, Tags: Articles, Politics

 

The Senate Judiciary Committee voted to advance FBI director nominee Kash Patel on Thursday, February 13. Though Patel has been one of President Donald Trump’s most controversial nominees – and Democrats delayed as long as they could – this outcome was expected due to the layout of the Senate and the committees.

Initially, this vote was held last Thursday, on the sixth. At that time, however, Democrats invoked panel rules forcing a one-week delay. Patel was thus “held over” until today, when his advancement was inevitably passed by a party-line 12-10 vote.

With this step in the process complete, Patel might see a confirmation vote on the floor as early as next week – a vote which seems almost certain to go his way.

Here is a list of terms describing how many saw some of the Senators "performances" after recent hearings by the Senate to "Advise and Consent" over the President's nominees:

braying jackasses, barking dogs, clapping seals, meritless pinheads, halfwits, nitwits, misfits, dipsticks, a full court circus with the animals running/ruining the mission, suffering from sluggish schizophrenia.

I added "suffering from sluggish schizophrenia." Suffering schizophrenia was a mental disorder made up by the KGB to justify sending dissidents to insane asylums....after all if you disagreed with communism you must be insane.  Which has been consistent thinking and actions by leftists world over.  

It's been stated if Kamala had been elected the nation's constitutional existence would have been in jeopardy, and as more comes out it's clear that's true.  As  David Horowitz has said, “Inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out.” 

This week I watched the documentary, KGB: The Sword and the Shield, a three part series on Prime.  It  you get Prime you need to watch it .... to the end!  

 

Why do they hate Kash Patel so badly.   The FBI has been thoroughly corrupted.  The last statement made in the documentary is "Russia is no longer a state that has a security service, instead the security service has a state."  If you have any doubt this is the direction America's security services were moving, this  video by Victor Davis Hanson will give you a full sense of that, and why they hate Kash Patel. 

The FBI has become renegade over the last ten years and Robert Mueller and James Comey who either lied under oath or were blatantly incompetent, and deliberately lied to the President, recorded private conversations with the president and then leaked it to the public. telling the House committee "I don't remember" 245 times.  

Andrew McCabe lied four times to federal investigators.  

Christopher Wray unleashed the FBI against parents exercising their constitutional rights to protect their children at school board meetings, even invading their homes with false charges, against those who oppose abortion.

They were really concerned about those dangerous Catholics who think their services should be conducted in the Latin mass, you can see how dangerous that would be to the nation.... right? 

Kash Patel was a victim of these political persecutors, all these persecutions were in violation of federal law and the Constitutional rights of their victims, including Donald Trump. This is the "fundamental transformation" Obama had in mind for America, and how the Biden administration's tyranny was taking hold.  As this progresses and the investigations expose these bad actors for their vile actions it will really drive home just how dangerous this last election truly was. 

Global warming, changed to "climate change", since the world stopped warming about 25 years ago, which they disingenuously call "the pause", they had to adopt the term "climate change".  That way no matter what happens they can scream the world is doomed.....doomed  I tell  you!  So give us more money and power to control every aspect of your life to save you.  

Well, as far as most of the public is concerned, that dog just don't hunt.   And now agencies of the federal government are not going to be allowed to be lap dogs of the globalists/leftist/green activists promoting their fraudulent insanity.  And again, more investigations are going to finally expose the corruption that's been going on in the federal government over this stuff.  All in order to impose a socialistic and tyrannical worldwide form of governance.  

The Green New Deal Is dead thanks to Trump telling them to shove the Paris Treaty where the sun don't shine, and not just in America.  This article goes on to show how "going green" has crippled Europe's economies.

As for Biden's farewell speech filled with lies and horsepucky, I'm not sure he's aware he's lying, I'm not even sure he knew who he was pardoning or why.   Speaker Johnson related his experience with Biden discussing a Biden executive order he'd signed three weeks earlier and Biden had no idea what he was talking about, and getting him alone for a one on one meeting was a challenge as Biden's aides hover over him like vultures.    He's clearly a pathological and compulsive liar, and for the most part I think that's been true for most of his life. Such liars often really believe what they're saying. It's a mental disorder called "pseudologia fantastica", and I'm sure his dementia has only exacerbated that disorder.

All those who've been around him for all these years had to know that, the evidence has been abundant for years, and yet those people chose him as their go to relief pitcher to be their candidate for President of the United States in 2020. Just think now bad the rest of their bench is.  AOC clearly wants to be President, after all, she graduated cum laude from Boston University with a bachelor's degree in international relations and economics, which so impressed potential employers she became a bartender.   Since Joe wasn't even smart enough to be a bartender, and the Democrats thought he was smart enough to be President, why not AOC?  And.....I want everyone to remember that I said this first...... RFK, Jr. will be running to be the Democrat nominee in 2028.  

 

Reports are the Democrats are going to double and triple down on critical race theory, gender ideology,  no Immigrant should be detained, the Jews are bad, and Trump supporters should be hanged as their platform for the 2028 election.  They actually believe that will swing them right back into power.  And they're not alone in that fantasy as even Never-Trump Republicans are predicting a huge comeback.  Interesting mind set since just like the media, their numbers are cratering, but they have nothing else to offer, and if they change, taking a more moderate or conservative tact, Democrats might as well become Republicans.   

In the 1948 election Harry Truman responded to the suggestion he should try to emulate the Republicans when running for his own term, he said:

"When given the choice between a Republican and someone who acts like a Republican people will vote for the real Republican every time.

One final laugh.  New Zealand has now gone full on with pagan nature worship, designating a mountain to be a legal person:

[This law] gives the mountain and the surrounding area the rights and responsibilities of a person, the AP reports. The park now "effectively owns itself,"...."When we think about the concept of personhood, what we are doing is putting in place a very Maori Indigenous concept into western law,"....."Our worldview is our maunga are ancestors, they're not resources but they are living beings and so the notion of legal personhood fits well with our worldview,"...... a new legal entity will be the "face and voice" of Taranaki.......

Now, who could find fault with that kind of thinking?

 No matter what anyone says, you can’t marginalize the truth!  You can suppress it, you can ignore it, you can avoid it, you can attempt to undermine it, you can attempt to subvert it, you can attempt to organize against it, you can even laugh at it, but if we have the courage and the fortitude to stand and confront the lies, irrespective of the personal costs, the truth will stand the test of time, because truth and time are on the same side.
