A day after a leaks war played out in the media over the (mis)handling of the Epstein files by Attorney General Pan Bondi that started with reports that a disgruntled Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino had not come to work on Friday and featured rumors of threatened resignations and demands for her firing, FBI Director Kash Patel finally spoke out about the controversy.

Patel’s comment, posted to his personal X account, will not put the matter to rest, but his statement on his tenure as FBI director is pretty definitive:

“The conspiracy theories just aren’t true, never have been. It’s an honor to serve the President of the United States @realDonaldTrump — and I’ll continue to do so for as long as he calls on me.”

The conspiracy theories just aren’t true, never have been. It’s an honor to serve the President of the United States @realDonaldTrump — and I’ll continue to do so for as long as he calls on me.

The questions asked by many responding to Patel are, “What conspiracy theories?” and “Where are the rest of the Epstein files?”

No word from Bongino yet on his status. Laura Loomer and Axios each reported that an unhappy Bongino took Friday off and is reportedly pondering his future at the FBI.

Bondi has not commented either, but it was reported Saturday she has fired more DOJ personnel involved with the Trump and J6 prosecutions, and has posted her decision to drop charges against a doctor from the COVID era.

I’d also like to thank @SenMikeLee who has been a champion for advocating to end the weaponization of government, including to Dr. Moore.

Oh for the days of long ago, when we VIKING KITTIES were a working cohort and the morons rode the lightning.

Dershwitz also claims Epstein visited mossad when he flew to Israel with him
Ehud Barak visited Epstein at various locales 30 times
Not saying it was sexual but it was something
Bibi was just there with Trump
Could be some of the immense pressure Trump got to kill this monster and then leak it to enemy Axios on a holiday Sunday nite
The whole thing stinks and I’m pissed
I view Donald Trump, a second only to George Washington, but I am gravely disappointed
He’s the shot caller here no question of that
Man all of the stuff we have to believe in order to believe the bullshit being told us it just boggles the mind
I’m not sure where Steve Bannon is on this right now, but when he says there are no coincidences
Well?

Clintons fights with Epstein were 2003 and earlier

Is this what you meant: Since he was targeted by the previous administration he can say whatever he wants. Once he has to testify under oath to congress it’s a little more serious.

Or:

Since he was targeted by the previous administration he can say whatever he wants once. If he has to testify under oath to congress it’s a little more serious.

Bondi and Patel are going to cost Trump his presidency if they aren’t careful. Trump voters are not necessarily republican and Bondi and Patel are not furthering the agenda.

[jimjohn]

I see how you did that there.

How Clinton-ian of you. :-)

Is this one of those “conspiracy theories” that Kash discussed yesterday?

Yeah, I miss those days.

Fingers are crossed...

In the Epstein case, the “Diddy” is long dead - concentrate on what’s best for the Nation

[LoveMyFreedom]

Here is question to ponder

Is Epstein Really Dead? No body. No autopsy.

[spintreebob]

“Conspiracy Theories” was a common term during the anti-communist McCarthy hearings of the early ‘50s..... and most likely the term goes back much farther than that.
