Isn't that the point of the FBI? Surely the fault here is that this was the worst coverup ever.
Every picture of Kash Patel looks like we're 12 frames into a slow-motion video of a human being exploding from the inside.
Every picture of Kash Patel looks like a pedophile protecting sack of shit. Pretty sure his eyes bulge out like that because he's so full of shit it's starting to push other organs out
I'm leaning on Patel snorting cocaine before every public appearance.
He knows his role: he's a brown fall guy. He is a incompetent hire placed there by the Trump administration so the FBI can fail. Then he collects a massive paycheck and lives comfortably years later.
Dude always looks like he just had a wet fart
Every picture of Kash Patel looks like he just got hit in the head with a cartoon hammer.
That made me laugh. So true.
The thing that ppl are not realising that Kash Patel is just a prop. He looks like that, and behaves like that because he can not only not tell he is just a sock puppet, but also because it's Trumps hand inside his ass.
Those eyes, you know they have seen some un-see-able shit in the files and he’s living the American nightmare ever since.
Good job dipshit!
No wonder why he looks like he is staring into headlights.
Every single person at the DOJ and FBI involved in this shit needs to lose their job and be thrown in prison.
As a former police officer it is an absolute disgrace that law enforcement agents have so willingly subverted the law to protect paedophiles.
Any decent cop would have gathered evidence of what they were being told to do, resigned and gone public.
That's kinda sorta what the chief of police in Palm Beach, Michael Reiter, did when he realized he was getting stonewalled by the county.
First, as was his job, Reiter took the case to the Palm Beach County State Attorney, Barry Krischer, who agreed Epstein would be a great case to prosecute -- then suddenly got cold feet and refused to proceed. When Reiter asked Krischer to remove himself from the case and Krischer didn't, Reiter went over his head and took it to the FBI. That's when Alexander Acosta (Krischer's counterpart at the federal level) stepped in to shut it down.
I don't think people really understand what Reiter was risking to do that, and also later to help the victims with their own cases. Reiter has, of course, since retired.
I'm not a big fan of cops in general but Reiter and the two or three detectives he kept working on this, in spite of the overwhelming political pushback and even the moles in his own office, are absolute heroes.
Decent cops seem to be in very short supply, not just in the US. What pisses me off most about this shit is that Biden sat on this stuff for four years without doing anything.
The investigations were open throughout Biden's term: legally Biden could not release them. Trump closed them himself, probably thinking he could keep them hidden anyway, until some congresspeople with spine crossed the aisle to make sure he couldn't.
So if you wanna get pissed off at someone, remember that Epstein remained a repeat, habitual sexual offender against children after his sentence ended. He never stopped offending. He also never stopped visiting his Florida home in Palm Beach.
Guess who was Florida AG from 2011 to 2019 and COULD have done something about him, whose actual job it was to do something about him, but did not? Pam Bondi. Where is your ire for her?
Or for Alexander Acosta, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida that worked hand in hand with Alan Dershowitz and the rest of Epstein's attorney's to boil all his crimes down into one offense and give immunity to his unnamed co-conspirators? How has he not made it onto your shit list?
These are not secrets. These people are not hidden. Their roles in keeping Epstein out of jail are well known, and there are others too. But you blame Biden? The ONE guy who legally could not release the files without closing all the related investigations?
I will never understand people who claim to be righteously angry at the exact individuals who had nothing to do with what they're angry about. If it's worth expending the energy of rage on, it's worth learning the bare facts of who is actually responsible.
EDITED to add: The survivors are now blaming Pam Bondi BY NAME as someone who is continuing to keep the truth from coming out, a high-level individual in government with both access and power who is actively working to keep this evidence from coming forward. Right now. Today.
Or to put it another way, they're not blaming a guy who isn't even president anymore; they're blaming the primary person suppressing the truth TODAY, who has set her entire agency with fulfilling the same task.
Which begs the obvious question: Why aren't YOU doing the same?
I bet the evidence was purposely gathered in a way that it wouldn't be admissible I court.
Don't worry, the DOJ will investigate the FBI, and the FBI will investigate the DOJ, and there will be no wrongdoing found.
So very many dipshits on the right seem to have really fallen for the completely delusional idea that it was all going to be about the Democrats.
I mean...just how delusional can you be? Have they met the Republican Party?
Also, if these right wing dumbfucks think the average Democratic supporter could give a flying fuck about protecting either Bill or Hillary from any fallout coming their way over this, they are just projecting about how they behave over things like this. Of course, these are the same Einsteins that think "Big Tech" is liberal 🤣 , and because of that, Bill Gates is also someone we are interested in protecting from the law.
I couldn't care less about any of those folks tbh
Big tech is liberal, it’s just that America has been propagandized into thinking liberal means left-wing, when really it has always meant right-wing.
Just let these people keep lying under oath and then if we can get a mid term election to flip congress, they'd better prosecute the fuck out of all of them.
flip congress, they’d better prosecute the fuck out of all of them.
That would require the "D" faction of the corporate party to develop spines, consciences and morals. If you think that is going to happen, you have slept through the last 50 years of history.
After not much consideration, I can only conclude that he is, undoubtedly, a moron.
Seriously, why does every picture of cocaine kash look like he’s rocking a an entire drug bust’s worth of meth?
He looks like the guy who is smuggling a condom full of heroin up his ass and the condom just broke.
RFK told him it’d be okay. And he’s an expert!
I saw someone say "he looks like what a normal person would look like after they've read all of the unredacted epstein files and watched all the uncensored videos."
What? Oh really? You're kidding right? What cover up? He's such an honest man! He never did anything wrong.
This truly is of a 'no shit Sherlock' level. They're not even trying their best to cover things up in secret. It's so obvious and out in the open. Their excuses are complete and utter bullshit and they expect people to believe it. Funny thing is, many still do believe it. Goebbels would be proud.
Take his head MAGA. He lied to you.
nah, he gets a pass for owning the libs so hard.
really tho, have the chickens forgotten how to come home to roost?
Sadly they got it wrong, he isn't part of a cover up, he leads it
That’s the face of a guy who couldn’t lead a marching band, let alone an alphabet agency
His job is to destroy the organisation he leads, just like the other Trump appointees.
If I was in the tRUMP circle of corruption (which would never happen because I have decency and morals) I would be asking myself this very very simple but really important question:
Did I get this position/job/etc because I'm good at what I do?
If the answer is an emphatic yes then, hey ho, you're probably safe from that bus wheel heading towards you in slow motion.
If the answer is "Hmmm, yeah...?", then get ready for being thrown under that bus which is careering towards you at astonishing speed.
The fat orange child rapist probably will never see consequences to his thousands of crimes, but other people like that FBI idiot don't have that type of protection.
which would never happen because I have decency and morals
I would never be in the trump circle of corruption not only because I have decency and morals but also because trump's type of person is just so fucking awful to be around on a personal level. Those people are just so boring and stupid in addition to being evil. If I knew I was going to have to spend the rest of my life only socializing with them -- even if millions of dollars came along with it -- I would just kill myself.
You mean Kash 'brown enough to take the fall' Patel? Sure you saw this comming when Trump named him, right?
