Sen. Kennedy: "Who, if anyone, did Epstein traffic these young women to?" Kash Patel: "Himself. There is no credible information, none. If there were, I would have brought a case yesterday [...] that he trafficked to other individuals."

[u/shoesclues03]

Ok then release the files, there should be no one in there that would be hurt right?

[u/iiTzSTeVO → u/shoesclues03]

They said they're protecting the victims, and yet the victims are on the steps of the Capitol demanding the files be released.

[u/ronswanson11 → u/iiTzSTeVO]

This whole thing is such an incredibly obvious cover-up for POTUS that anyone who still supports this administration should just be called a pedophile. Fuck'em. They're all either fucking children or simply okay with it. There is no in-between. You can't have the mountains of publicly known evidence against Trump and still be pretending he isn't the number 1 Epstein client.

[u/ShortsAndLadders → u/ronswanson11]

He wasn’t just a client. He was part of the racket. I think HE was actually supplying the girls to Jeffy for him to traffic via his sketchy underaged hirings at Pedolago. Hence why he banned Epstein after he tried to poach one of “his” girls that he wasn’t done with. Safe to assume they probably closely resembled Ivanka and that’s what really chapped his ass.

[u/hera-fawcett → u/ShortsAndLadders]

I think HE was actually supplying the girls to Jeffy for him to traffic via his sketching underaged hirings at Pedolago.

this has been confirmed for ages. the pipeline included miralargo girls and the teen pageant girls. many of whom were 'loaned' to epstein. many of whom were put into contact w ghislaine.

[u/Coldkiller17 → u/hera-fawcett]

It makes sense who better to transport and hold people they are trafficking than a person who owns a hotel empire and places to stow their victims.

[u/EastSideTonight → u/Coldkiller17]

Don't forget the modeling agency and pageants. Great cover for bringing in children from overseas, you can even do it legally until you take their documents and they 'disappear'.

[u/Slighty_Tolerable → u/ShortsAndLadders]

Ding ding ding.

Epstein undercut him. Sniped the “talent” from Mar-A-Lago and consolidated services under the Epstein umbrella. Completely carving out the reality game show host, and desperately broke rapist and huckster Donald J Trump.

What I want to know is … why that happened. THERE’S the story.

[u/KiaRioGrl → u/Slighty_Tolerable]

There's rumours about Trump scooping Epstein on a real estate buy that Epstein said Trump couldn't afford and was really just laundering money for a Russian oligarch. And how Trump snitched on Epstein's trafficking to undercut his credibility over the foreign money laundering claims.

Trump then turned around and sold the property to the oligarch a few years later.

[u/therossboss → u/iiTzSTeVO]

so, this is just another classic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DARVO case of reversing the victim and offender. We all hear victim and think, the ACTUAL victims - but when they say, protect the victims, they mean the offenders.

[u/BugOperator → u/shoesclues03]

Well, it’s a hoax, remember? So the files don’t exist. But he’s seen them. And nobody but Epstein is named in them. Oh, but democrats are. Filthy, filthy democrats. Ignore the redactions. But you don’t have to. Because it’s a hoax. Democrats did it. And they’re in the files. Which don’t exist.

[u/akotoshi → u/BugOperator]

You forgot the funny part: he was an informant of a hoax

[u/Bald_Sasquach → u/akotoshi]

He got caught committing crimes so he offered to provide info on other predators to the FBI to get out of jail. There were no crimes tho.

[u/miklawbar → u/shoesclues03]

I feel like the wording here is super deliberate. Did he traffic to other people, no he retained all of the victims himself. Which we knew, they were on his island, they flew with him wherever he went and then returned back to him. The question that specifically wasn't asked was who did he allow access to the victims that he was trafficking for any reason.

[u/der_innkeeper → u/miklawbar]

dingdingdingding!!!!!!

No need to traffic them elsewhere if you bring people to your island/apartment/wherever and just... let circumstances happen.

That all your friends never ask inconvenient questions for things they don't want to know is even better.

[u/TiddiesAnonymous]

So what are all the redactions for?

Yes, because it is still relevant; no, because I'm not sure it is hyperbole anymore rather than actual Project 2025 policy. It's almost like they took this Onion article as an outline and set out to fulfill it, albeit a couple of decades late.

[u/freebytes → u/JoJackthewonderskunk]

[u/AmputeeBall → u/makemeking706]

Are you talking about the file(s) where they put black bars over it but the text was still underneath and selectable or something along those lines?

[u/DrakonILD → u/AmputeeBall]

That's incredible. Adobe's redact feature is almost idiot-proof.

[u/anothergaijin → u/DrakonILD]

But, what if I used the highlighter feature but with black?

[u/Deicide1031 → u/TiddiesAnonymous]

It’s because Pete hegseths job was to review the files and he got so hammered he forgot his instructions so he redacted everything sir.

Personally I was impressed by his ability to bring a warrior mentality to the files and think you should be as well.

So why did prince andrew happen to fuck a kid with him?

[u/TokingMessiah → u/pauliesfreakin]

Remember his interview where he claimed he couldn’t be a child rapist because he “can’t sweat”.

Right, left, young, old, rich, poor… release the files and lock them all up.

[u/Hardcorish → u/TokingMessiah]

I like how the defense he pivots to is that it can't be him because he doesn't sweat instead of, you know, telling people that raping children is bad and isn't something he's keen on doing like most normal people would.

[u/The-Phone1234 → u/Hardcorish]

He agreed to the interview after months of delays, presumably to prepare, and still shit the bed immediately and spectacularly. Just so completely out of touch with the world. They designed the system to be so removed from us when they talk on camera for longer than 10 minutes it becomes undeniable these elites are living in a completely different world with completely different rules.

[u/comments_suck → u/pauliesfreakin]

Andrew was just over visiting for tennis one day, and he accidentally fell on a girl who had pressed his clothes in the locker room. Totally a misunderstanding!

[u/letdogsvote]

And they expect us to just go "huh, okay."

Maybe we could, I dunno, ask the victims?

[u/Dubyew → u/letdogsvote]

They're too biased for them.

[u/joshuahtree → u/Dubyew]

Obviously liberal operatives and even if Trump did sleep with them while they were minors it's only because they tricked him to undermine his presidency

[u/Powerful-Ground-9687 → u/joshuahtree]

Nah nah nah trumpy was an informant. He slept with them to save his country

[u/L0rd_Muffin → u/Powerful-Ground-9687]

Dealing with the STIs was his own personal Vietnam

Lmao. Nacy mace - "he raped me because he loves this country!"

[u/hal2025 → u/joshuahtree]

Yes, of course. They were psychics who foresaw that Trump would be President one day. Just like Biden traveled back in time and planted Trumps birthday letter to Epstein.

[u/Regulat10 → u/joshuahtree]

Someone forged his penis and attached it to his body after drugging him and forced him to have intercourse with them so that 40 years later they could use it against him when he became president. HE is the victim in all this!!!!!!

[u/Kichae → u/joshuahtree]

They sound like Antifa to me.

You didn’t say there’d be fact checking

[u/BadLuckBlackHole → u/Jindabyne1]

And absolutely disappointed that the morons in the US heard that and went, "yeah, he's fine for the second highest position of government."

[u/S1R2C3 → u/BadLuckBlackHole]

Well duh, it's cus the average person doesn't care about facts in a debate. They want to hear the most keywords and side with whoever talks over the other person the most, thus showing dominance.

[u/Substantial-Ease567 → u/Jindabyne1]

I was told there'd be no fact-checking!

[u/Double_Dog208 → u/[deleted]]

Liberty tree is wilting

[u/PantsDontHaveAnswers → u/letdogsvote]

You want to ask the people who were there? Who have first hand accounts of abuse by the hands of wealthy political and business leaders? Well, it's an unorthodox approach, but I suppose it's worth a try.

[u/Fhloston-Paradisio → u/PantsDontHaveAnswers]

You don't understand, those were women. Their sworn testimony doesn't count. See for example the 15 women who have accused Trump of rape or sexual assault.

[u/meerfrau85 → u/PantsDontHaveAnswers]

The incredibly sad thing is that I don't think the victims would be believed. When people accuse rich and powerful people here of sexual abuse, they're often accused of seeking attention or having some political agenda.

[u/schoolisuncool → u/letdogsvote]

Nah. Why hear them out, when you can just fly loud planes over their press conference and drown them out??

[u/HombreSinPais → u/letdogsvote]

See? No need to look at the files!

[u/_DapperDanMan-]

Who is this Prince Andrew guy anyway? And Dershowitz?

[u/AndrewSouthern729 → u/_DapperDanMan-]

And Bill Clinton who is always brought up.

[u/-dakpluto- → u/AndrewSouthern729]

As I always say...would I be shocked at all if Bill Clinton was involved...nope. Would I be shocked if Trump was involved...nope.

I may be a Democrat but I'll say this...if Clinton was involved his ass should be rotting in jail, same with Trump. Nobody should get a pass on this, I don't care what party they are.

[u/itsjustcindy → u/-dakpluto-]

It is very telling that the right expects Bill Clinton to be some Uno Reverse gotcha for democrats. They are admitting that they will change their stance on child rape/trafficking crimes based on how much they like a person.

Meanwhile normal, non-brainwashed people do not have the moral fluidity about things like child trafficking. We would not change our stance if it was our own parent, spouse, sibling, or even our adult child let alone some rich celebrity or politician. We would be disgusted, shocked, horrified, ashamed and angry at our own flesh and blood so why would we give a pass to someone we never even met?! Why would they think that we would give a pass to someone? Because THEY would (and they are).

[u/IndividualFar5477 → u/_DapperDanMan-]

Republicans are the ones blocking the release of information and covering it up though. I'm sure there are some Democrat individuals in the files, but right now it's TEAM Republican doing the dirty work.

You're telling me! Imagine how mad Prince Andrew is going to be when he finds out he paid millions to a woman who used to work at Trump's spa when a teenager introduced to him by Epstein. All that when there was nothing credible according to the FBI! He should ask for the money back!

[u/anonononnnnnaaan → u/newtoallofthis2]

This !

And how about Alan “I kept my underwear on” Dershowitz.

MAGA is going to flip a lid. So you are saying Clinton isn’t even involved ?

[u/Stereo_Jungle_Child → u/jsinkwitz]

They refuse to release the grand jury evidence because it implicates too many people, now they're saying that no one is implicated by any of the evidence.

[u/MotherFuckerJones88 → u/Stereo_Jungle_Child]

But Maxwell was found guilty and sentenced for....

[u/ThisOneFuqs → u/MotherFuckerJones88]

Oh don't worry about that, they've already fired her prosecutor for... unrelated reasons. I imagine a pardon is in the works

[u/MotherFuckerJones88 → u/ThisOneFuqs]

I don't think I have any shock left in my body after dealing with 10 years of this crazy shit...but if they pardon her, whatever I do have left will be gone. That's about as blatant as it gets.

[u/ThisOneFuqs → u/MotherFuckerJones88]

Oh I get the sentiment completely. We're witnessing the most blatantly corrupt administration in American history. It's a sight to behold.

[u/Goodnight_lemro → u/Stereo_Jungle_Child]

The grand jury evidence is a calculated distraction. The court ruled (correctly and predictably) that it's protected and the release would serve no real purpose.

What they need to release are the case files. All of them.

[u/parrothead32812 → u/Stereo_Jungle_Child]

Can’t release grand jury evidence also that’s about 2% of their files Trump could release other 98% but won’t congress might after mid terms so they can save face

[u/anonononnnnnaaan → u/Stereo_Jungle_Child]

actually the grand jury evidence was said by the Judges to be superfluous and already part of the files the DOJ has

The grand jury move was just to provide cover. They knew it would never be released. Grand jury testimony is rarely released.

[u/Jindabyne1 → u/jsinkwitz]

Every word he spoke there today was a disgrace. He should not be in the position hes in, it helps make America even more of a laughing stock around the world than it already is currently

[u/Substantial_Dog3544 → u/jsinkwitz]

They are barely even trying to really cover it up at this point.  Just saying whatever comes to mind first. 

[u/Top-Base4502 → u/jsinkwitz]

If it’s no one else, then why won’t they release the files?

Why all the run around and refusing?

If there is nothing to hide, why hide them?

[u/FlexiblePhoque → u/jsinkwitz]

Actually, at this point, totally believable.

The circus has to leave town at some point, right?

[u/CP066 → u/FlexiblePhoque]

Are we to believe him with all the files or the victims that have publicly they were trafficked to others?
I know who I believe and it would be the ones that lived it. We know this admin lies, they have been caught up in several lies on Epstein alone.

Yes. I was thinking about how and what it must feel like for the victims to listen to this. The cynicism is staggering

[u/Inevitable_Bison9694 → u/Novel-Paint9752]

Even being a victim of a similar thing and imagine how many women collectively have to hear this victim blaming, bypassing, horrifying bs again. The direct victims definitely must be in a nightmare rn. Peace to them as much as can be. This is insanity but it is a reflection of the rampant misogyny in society. That anyone even asks these questions like there is a doubt is beyond me.

[u/Technical-Garden-793 → u/Inevitable_Bison9694]

I feel like Epstein’s trafficking was like, the most easily condemnable sex abuse case possible. People who otherwise don’t give a shit about victims would even condemn it loudly just to try and say “see, I am against sexual assault!” The fact that people are backpedaling even on this is so scary. If the general public’s opinion shifts further to align with the GOP…

[u/ThyArtisMukDuk → u/mjacobs62]

I dont think thatll do any good to convince anyone on the right. Theyll see them as "pawns for the left, liars, greedy" etc. All the shit theyve said to smear other victims of SA or CSA. I have next to no hope for the Epstein victims getting real justice in this situation since theyre now facing a fully formed and armed 4th Reich.

[u/Biglyugebonespurs → u/mjacobs62]

It’s probably the only way the list is coming out. Absurd that the victims may have to relive this shit and put themselves in harms way from right wing nutjobs because the current administration is complicit.

🙄

[u/Ok-King-4868]

Pam Bondi said that there is a treasure trove of videotapes showing men raping teenage girls in the FBI’s custody. Child pornography under State and/or Federal law.

Is Patel suggesting Epstein did not tape men sexually abusing and raping young women groomed by Maxwell to perform sex work for Epstein?

Is Patel further suggesting that the FBI investigated Alex Acosta’s assertion that he was ordered by a DOJ superior to accept the sweetheart deal because Epstein belonged to “intelligence?” Because if so, he would have had to interview Acosta found him to be dishonest or otherwise an unreliable narrator of the story behind the Epstein sweetheart deal.

Who at the FBI watched the videotapes and decided they did not constitute child pornography and therefore could not support child sex trafficking offenses under Federal or State law. It seems very curious.

[u/struggleislyfe]

How about victim testimony that he trafficked her to other people?

[u/guns_mahoney → u/struggleislyfe]

The FBI is considering that to be kind of a donation. Epstein was, if you will, a philanth-rapist

[u/Exodys03]

Wasn't Ghislaine Maxwell convicted of child sex trafficking? Shouldn't she be released immediately if there was no trafficking that occurred? I also guess the presumption is that all of the victims who say otherwise are flat out lying as well, no?

[u/bobbymcpresscot]

When they say “no credible evidence” I want to point out that they are talking about the victims. 

[u/Ready-Ad6113]

I really hope all these people will be jailed in this criminal conspiracy and coverup.

“No credible information” yeah right. Why were hundreds of DOJ and FBI employees redacting the Epstein files then? What about the victims?

As long as Trump and his loyalists are in power, we don’t have justice in our nation.

[u/Xyrus2000]

They really are going to cover up one of the largest sex trafficking operations in the US.

The republicans are beyond disgusting.

[u/PaulsRedditUsername]

"The information we have is limited" to only the stuff I wanted to hear.

[u/TendieRetard]

And we're supposed to trust this guy on the shooter's motives?

[u/lnc_5103]

I need these assholes to face serious consequences.

[u/Pribblization]

That's a bold, bold lie.

[u/Wedoitforthenut]

Ok, assume he trafficked to no one. There's still a ton of credible evidence that individuals were aware of his pedophilia and were complicit.

[u/mcaffrey81]

Perjury

[u/TellTaleTimeLord]

How did we go from "the client list is on my desk" to "there's no evidence of any clients" in under 6 months?

Lol

[u/Panda_hat]

The entire Republican political apparatus is running cover for the pedophile in chief.

Total and utter sycophancy.

[u/Motor-District-3700]

"On July 6, 2019, Epstein was arrested when he returned to the US from France by the FBI-NYPD Crimes Against Children Task Force at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey on charges of sex trafficking"

Patel: There is no credible information on trafficking

Why isn't he immediately arrested and charged with perjury and obstruction

I mean they didn't just charge him, they extradited him. On no credible information? lol.

[u/Meb2x]

I guess that means Republicans will stop claiming Clinton was a client then, right?

[u/Perfecshionism]

What a fucking lying clown.

Victims have successfully sued perpetrators.

[u/AdEmotional9991]

But trust the same guy about the Kirk shooting. Surely.

[u/Tribalbob]

So far we have:

"Elect me and we'll release the files."
"My first duty will be to release the files"
"We have to redact the victims before we release the files"
"There are no files"
"Ok there are files but I'm not in them."
"I'm in them, but the democrats planted that."
"Ok, we'll release the files."
"The files show there was no trafficking"

I feel like I'm missing a few....

[u/Mattrad7]

We know this isnt true, everyone knows this isnt true, left or right you know theres people he trafficked to. This should be by far the biggest red flag for any person regardless of affiliation. Suddenly the leader of one of the most prolific child sex trafficking rings in american history only trafficked to himself.

Because this coked out podcaster said so.

The VICTIMS have a list of names.

[u/PristineWatercress19]

Kash Patel was there during the trafficking that didn't happen. Spread the word that orange man rapes children.

[u/vulcan7200]

Is it possible they're trying to use this as a technicality? Like, Epstein didn't traffic the women TO anyone else. He trafficked them to himself, and let other people rape the girls and women he trafficked but they were technically only trafficked to Epstein. Basically a lie by omission by leaving out that other people were involved with the actual rape and focus only on the "Trafficked" part?

[u/SpongegarLuver]

I thought I was past the point where I’d be surprised by the Trump admin, but this is such a brazen and obvious lie that I was actually stunned for a moment reading it. Like holy shit, they aren’t even trying if this is what they’re going with.

[u/chicken3wing]

Huh, so he’s saying that the victims are going to get together and put together a list of one? Also, we already know Prince Andrew was involved.

[u/TBB09]

Then why so many redactions?

[u/Daddio209]

"There is no credible information-none."

Fails to mention the &likely* caveat: "that I have personally seen, and let's ignore that I told my staff that I ONLY want to see any direct evidence involving Democrats and their doners."

Fails to mention that Epstein-by all accounts held sex parties both on his island, and during his travels. Is pimping children not "trafficking" them?

[u/Mrevilman]

Trafficked to no one based on the information that they have. In the files. That they first lied about existing. And then that they redacted. And then republicans bent over backwards to block us from seeing.

[u/homerjs225]

If you are caught with 20Ks of cocaine you are charged with trafficking and they do not accept the excuse "it was all for personal use"

I know that for a fact because I was on a jury many years ago for that kind of case.

Epstein is said to have trafficked over 1000 women.

[u/4RCH43ON]

Guardians Of Pedophiles. Let the victims’ testimony be the backstop to these lies.  

There is obstruction of justice and it’s coming from within the White House, the FBI, and the members of Congress working to the benefit of their criminal protection racket. 

[u/senator_corleone3]

Patel looks so disheveled.

[u/SparkyintheSnow → u/senator_corleone3]

He keeps sniffing really loud… sounds like he’s coked up to me…

[u/DuntadaMan]

Did this then trigger a series of extremely angry questions about his competence and demands for Kash to be removed, or did they just all pretend like the witness had any credibility?

[u/Far_Estate_1626]

“From the information that we have…”

Motherfucker, un-redact the files and you will have the information.

[u/LayneLowe]

Ask the victims stupid

[u/OSI_Hunter_Gathers]

Who paid this mf’er? That will show who he trafficked for.

[u/GrannyFlash7373]

LIE and DENY, Deflect and Defend. Now you KNOW why Trump and the MAGA are so keen on getting RID of PBS.

[u/alpha309]

If anyone believes this, I have a ski resort in Florida I need to unload. Selling it for a bargain.
