Kash and Bongino losing trust over Epstein
American Thinker ^ | 05/20/2025 | Todd Baumann

Posted on 05/20/2025 10:24:28 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

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.

Epstein wasn’t just another inmate.  He was a nexus of corruption, intelligence, and elite abuse — someone whose connections spanned elites, presidents, royalty, billionaires, and spies.  His death was either one of the most spectacular security failures in modern history — or something far darker.  And no number of official titles or vague references to secret documents should shut down public scrutiny.

Americans have good reason to be suspicious.  Epstein’s death was a hall of mirrors from the start.  There weren’t just a few oddities; there was an avalanche of contradictions and red flags.  Yet Bongino and Patel simply want you to trust what they say their eyes saw.

Nope.  Sorry.

CONTINUED

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.

It is possible he killed himself and was allowed to do it. I trust both of them completely. Closing the Hoover building is far more important.

Yeah. I think we better face the fact that some people we highly respect are on that list.

The charitable interpretation of their performance would be that they’re just clueless idiots.

Okay. Let’s say his death really was the result of a suicide.
Fine. Now, tell me please, why aren’t the prison guards not being named, shamed, suspended or fired then prosecuted for dereliction of duty? The story does not end with the prisoner’s death, by whatever means.

Was that not their job, to check on the prisoner x number of times per shift? Were Check Logs falsified by the same negligent prison guards? So on, and so forth.
If this is what happened, then where is the follow up action?

Right.

And Candidate Trump intentionally threw HIMSELF into the path of that bullet in Butler, PA.

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.

I had not heard that but it's very interesting.

There are two things that both Bongino and Patel are not: they are not idiots, and they are not swampists.

There has to be another reason we don’t know. In the meantime, if enough of the FBI cesspool is drained and cleaned, we may have to accept the wink-wink-nod-nod of the Epstein non-suicide as the price, but there better be a lot of draining and cleaning, because it is a very high price.

Is it possible someone “got” to Patel and Bongino?

You know, one of those “Hey Kash, you know these financial irregularities in your stock purchases you made? it’d be a very bad thing if that information were to be accidentally released to the NY Times” or “Hey Dan, do you recall that party about 10 years ago in West Palm Beach? Remember the bleach blonde with the huge implants? You know, the one right? Wow, somewhere somehow there are pictures or audio of that night. it’d be a shame for TMZ to get ahold of those pics”.

Epstein didn’t kill himself.

How deep does the rot go?

Epstein turned state's witness, is alive and is currently in WITSEC.

It explains everything, including Patel and Bongino's assertions that Epstein killed himself.

So Patel and Bongino get appointed to positions where they really do have access to everything about Epstein and anyone else, but because their review revealed there isn’t anything more to the case than has already been reported, we have the conspiracy crew now claiming they’re part of the huge cover up.

That’s crazy talk.

I’ve thought from early on that the prospects for full disclosure concerning the Epstein affairs were pretty slim because the prominent politicians on the list might not all be Democrats. Very well could be what’s at play here.

it’s hard for me to believe, but Trump’s entire fed leo apparatus has of a sudden decided (for no discernible or necessary reason that i can see) to sacrifice it’s nascent credibility defending the previous corrupt administration’s investigation and handling of this stinking heap of worthless pedo perp Epstein. talk about ‘own goals.’ why?

The body they rolled out on the gurney that they claimed was Epstein had different earlobes than in photos of a known living Epstein. It wasn’t him. Was it erroneous B-roll footage, or was it indeed not him? I do trust these guys, for now, and am anxiously awaiting the other shoe to drop. Bongino wouldn’t just say “he committed suicide” and let it go. There is more.

The Deep State is ugly, dark, and deep, and have a hundred ways to keep one silent.

Kash and Bongino were big talkers when they had their podcasts etc but now they’re dealing with real evil.

Or, now they are comfortably ensconced in their deep state comfy chairs.
