FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino promised the release of new video from the cell bay housing sexual predator and human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein around the time of his suicide to prove “no one was there but him.”
Epstein’s 2019 death at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City was ruled a suicide, but has been the subject of prevailing conspiracy theories suggesting that he was murdered because of his networking with high-profile celebrities and business people.
Bongino’s comments come after he and FBI Director Kash Patel came under fire from the MAGA crowd for having dismissed conspiracy theories about Epstein during a joint interview earlier this month on Fox News.
peaking to Fox & Friends hosts on Thursday, Bongino was asked about the Epstein case. What began as a guarded response arguing that the case is never truly “closed” and that he was open to tips, he teased the release of footage that offer a “clear as day” conclusion on the matter.
He began: “I’m just telling you what we see in the file. I want to be crystal clear on this. I am not asking anyone to believe me, I’m telling you what is there and what isn’t. There is nothing in the file at this point on the Epstein case – and there will be a disclosure on this coming shortly. There is video that is something the public –”
“Video of him killing himself?” co-host Lawrence Jones pressed.
Bongino replied: “Not the actual act, but the entire MCC bay, there was only one camera, there were other – there is video and when you look at the video, and we will release it, we’re working on cleaning it up to make sure you have an enhanced – and we will give the original so you don’t think there are any shenanigans – you will see no one in there but him. There’s just nobody there.”
He continued: “I say to people of the time — if you have a tip, let us know — but there is no DNA, there’s no audio, there’s no fingerprints, there’s no suspects, there’s no accomplices, there’s no tips. There is nothing. If you have it, I’m happy to see it. There’s video clear as day, he’s the only person in there and only person coming out. You can see it.”
NOT BUYING IT.
But what about Epstein’s contact list Dan? When is that going to be released?
Uhhhhh, Bongino, you should know by now not to “announce” what you’re going to do.
Bongino could be getting played—unless he fully understands the chain of custody of the video.
Spoliation is what the FIB does after operations like Butler. The entire site is sanitized within hours
Have any information or are you just not happy with the answer?
Or something else is going on.
Trump has left both Bongino and Patel where they are.
I can wait to find out.
People will believe that which makes them feel vindicated, evidence and/or lack of evidence doesn’t matter.
Didn’t they say the camera weren’t working?
The more I hear about this, the more convinced I am that Epstein is hidden away in witness protection somewhere
How about arresting someone instead of going on TV all the time?
I want that video completely checked by multiple sources to ensure that is has not been tampered with in some form or fashion by AI or any other alternatives used to create deep fake videos.
I can wait as well—when the Epstein fiasco blows up in their faces we can try with some new players—see if that does anything.
They did, which is why this announcement raises more questions than it puts to rest.
Important first step) “The cameras weren’t working. We wish we had video. But we don’t.”
Important second step) “Hey! The new advances in AI are really amazing, huh?”
Important third step) “Ummmmm. We now have video which proves Epstein killed himself. Now go away.”
AI could have been used to generate that video and produce appropriate meta-data to make it seem like the right-time/right-place. Or not. The traitors in the DS have the resources to do such a thing, courtesy of our tax dollars.
Agreed on all points.
This has disaster written all over it.
Bongino is about to find out he can’t hit major league curve balls.
Too many coincidences. Guards asleep or not making the rounds, cameras non functional. Epstein telling friends and lawyaers hes not suicidal...
Sometime between when hell freezes over, and Hillary goes to prison. Personally, I'd bet on hell freezing over long before Hillary goes to prison, since she never will.
