The issue is not about Epstein brainiac, it’s about Patel and Bongino !
Too many anomalies like the guard being out of station and the cameras turned off.
I am truly sorry that Kash and Bongino have chosen to smudge their heretofore sterling reputations. Reelease it all and then say that you believe that certain people-name them- will try to kill you.
Up to this point, at least, Patel has muddied his reputation. He can redeem it by publishing ALL the records of ALL the dealings with Epstein UNREDACTED.
I believe he was quickly cremated. That is how they cover up a lot of stuff- like the shooter in Pennsylvania.
It was reported that there was a camera on the cell that was turned off..
Different nose and ear.
And ears.
I trusted Bongino until this.
Ears are different too.
Why would Patel/Bongino say anything? Assuming they’re not idiots, shouldn’t they expect a lot of skepticism? What benefits do they expect?
Bin Laden buried at sea.
I'm not quite ready to throw the guy under the bus just yet. But it's sure starting to back up out of the parking lot at this point.
The usual reason for all the redacting and fragmented releases of information, while it appears suspicious, is that either certain individuals who are sources, technical capabilities, or other cases / subjects are impacted if you provide all the details of the case. Just trowing all the information out there might impact spin off cases etc.
The public gets a filtered version where you're told the facts as they pertain to the case of interest, but without how that information may have been collected etc.
However, if someone like Patel and Bongino are smart, they realize that their integrity, is literally all they have with the public.
Once they squander that, there is no coming back and they greatly lose how effective they are in their leadership position.
In their position, to be effective, you are both internal and external to your organization, and once you destroy the public's trust, you become less effective externally (public, media, legislators).
People like Comey (he had me fooled in the beginning) know this and pretend to have integrity, but eventually they reveal themselves. You can't fake this. You can't long term trick the people by merely talking the talk and in secret playing games. You have to actually be as objective, neutral, transparent and honest as possible.
Good post—but there is one piece you did not mention.
Competence.
If you are fooled by what liars tell you then it will undermine you very badly.
That’s a fact!!!
Friends I know in the federal bureaucracy (current and retired) used to describe it like navigating a raging river.
The career old timers were expert navigators—knew who could be trusted and who could not, who were competent and who were not—and all the little obstacles hidden below the waterline.
Political appointees usually enter office unfamiliar with the river—and they are at the mercy of career employees to help them navigate.
Sometimes all a career employee has to do to undermine the new boss is just not tell them everything—lying is not even necessary.
the day before Epstein had received bad news for his defense and when all hope is gone things happen, especially with his type
they logs on equipment are extensive and the line staff have no control over area surveillance. the monitors are in the control center and 24 hour staffing.
Well something was dumped overboard for the camera. I still think BL lost it in Tora Bora. The Chinese thought so then as did the Indians.
