Kash Patel Left SPEECHLESS After Jamie Raskin Played a SH0CKING Video Of His ConfessionAdded:
Kash Patel was left utterly speechless after Jamie Raskin played this shocking video to Congress.
When Trump decided that rounding up immigrants with no criminal records was more important than preventing crimes like human trafficking of women and girls, drug dealing, terrorism, fraud, you ordered the 25 largest field offices to divert thousands of agents away from chasing down violent criminals, sex traffickers, fraudsters, and scammers to carry out this immigration crackdown.
Director Patel, you treated the men and women at the FBI with disrespect and paranoia. You've assembled a roving band of freelancing henchmen within your office and charged them with conducting unauthorized investigations, targeting and harassing career FBI employees.
Amazingly, you forced senior leadership to repeatedly take polygraph tests to prove their political loyalty and pushed out leaders who refused these demeaning exercises. And now we're seeing one very clear reason why you want to build a political FBI. The Epstein files. You want an FBI blindly loyal to Trump and to you as his enforcer so you can continue your cover-up of a massive international sex trafficking ring with more than 1,000 victims, betraying all of the survivors of the sexual violence.
Before you got in this job, you called for full release of Epstein files telling podcaster Benny Johnson that the only reason the list was not released by DOJ and FBI was quote because of who's on that list. Upon your confirmation, you promised that quote, "There will be no cover-ups, no missing documents, no stone left unturned. And anyone from the prior current bureau who undermines this will be swiftly pursued." This spring, you ordered hundreds of agents to pour over all the Epstein files, but not to look for more clues about the money network or the network of human traffickers. You pulled these agents from their regular counterterrorism or drug trafficking duties to work around the clock, some of them sleeping at their desks to conduct a frantic search to make sure Donald Trump's name and image were flagged and redacted wherever they appeared, whether an email, a text, a letter, an interview, a photograph, or a video. In May, Attorney General Bondi reportedly told Trump that his name had indeed appeared multiple times throughout the Epstein files. And not long thereafter in July, you and the Attorney General released a memo claiming that, quote, "No further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted." In a few short months, how did you go from being a crusader for [clears throat] accountability and transparency for the Epstein files to being a part of the conspiracy and cover-up? The answer's simple, and you said it yourself, because of who's on that list. Donald Trump's relationship with Epstein over the years is well documented. A week ago, the Oversight Committee released Trump's disturbing birthday book, note to Epstein, written over a drawing of a woman's naked body referring to a quote, "Wonderful secret." The Oversight Committee obtained the note from the Epstein estate, not from the FBI, raising questions again of whether the FBI has been withholding documents.
While you're unleashing the FBI to cater to Trump's desire to shut down the Epstein inquiry, uh Director Patel, before you joined the FBI, you railed against it for covering up Jeffrey Epstein's human trafficking ring. Let me refresh your memory with this clip.
It has Epstein's list, they're sitting on it. That doesn't seem like something you should do. You're protecting the world's foremost predator. That seems like an evil thing to do, regardless of who may be embarrassed in the release of that list. Why Why the FBI protecting the greatest pederast um the the largest scale pederast in human history? Simple, because of who's on that list. So, you finished that December 2023 interview with a challenge to the FBI and harsh words for Republicans in Congress for not getting the Epstein files out to the public.
You can see this clip. boy pants and let us know who the pedophiles are.
Put on your big boy pants and let us know who the pedophiles are, you said.
You emphasized that the president and FBI director [clears throat] each had complete authority to release Epstein's client list. You said Epstein's black book is under the {quote} direct control of the director of the FBI. Look at this clip.
This is way off the topic, but who has Jeffrey Epstein's black book? black book?
>> FBI But who?
That is that that I mean there's >> under direct control of the director of the FBI. All right, so you were sworn in as director more than 200 days ago. Now the black book is under your direct control. So, why haven't you released the names of Epstein's co-conspirators in the rape and sex trafficking of young women and girls?
The Rolodex, which is what everybody colloquially refers to as the black book, has been released.
>> Oh, no, you're talking about what the journalist got 5 years ago. No, that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about what you were talking about there, the black book under the direct control of the FBI director. We have released more material than anyone else before. The Biden administration, Obama administration had the exact opportunities to release this material, they never did. And if you are selling the men and women of the FBI are not going after child predator Hang on, you said we're not going after child predators. 1,500 child predators arrested this year. 35% increase I reclaim Mr. Chairman, I'm going to reclaim my time if you could instruct the witness. Um, why have you changed your position? There you were saying it's under the direct control of the FBI director and all of it should be released.
Why have you Why be treating your position >> Everything that has been lawfully permitted to be released has been released. And as I told you, the investigation was limited. And let me make something crystal clear. I never said Jeffrey Epstein didn't traffic other people, other women, and there not other victims. This is the investigation we were given from 2006, 7, and 8, and the search warrants from 2006, 7, and 8.
That's what we're working with.
>> Wait. Have you released all of the stuff that the FBI has seized from Epstein's house? The computers, the emails, the file cabinets, the documents. What about the financial records? Have you released all of that? Everything the court has allowed us to release.
>> Which court are you talking about?
>> Three separate federal courts have come in and said >> We're talking about the evidence you've got. It's got nothing to do with what those courts have We're talking about the evidence.
Wait a >> Do you want me to break the law and a federal judge's order to >> want you to follow your own word, Director Patel. You said up there it was under the direct control of the FBI director. He had the black book. Have you released have direct control over, we have gone to court. You haven't. You haven't.
>> you have direct control over, you said.
have gone to court and everything we have direct control over >> your sentence. You said everything you >> release, we're releasing. He'd like to complete his answer.
You You began the sentence, everything you have direct control over I and then you stopped that sentence. You've released everything that you have direct control over?
>> I have direct control over and can lawfully release. If you're not familiar with the court orders, that's not my fault.
>> perfectly I I'm perfectly familiar with them. But how did we prosecute um Ghislaine Maxwell?
She was She was prosecuted with the investigatory material that was collected from 2001 and 2005 because of the non-prosecution agreements and the court orders on the investigations and search warrants, we were not able to develop new information. And oh, by the way, Jeffrey Epstein was out for 12 years and the Obama and Biden administration did nothing to look at his work, his pedophile network. If you want to blame me, that's fine. But now you're blaming the men and women who conducted this right side.
>> I'm not blaming anybody other than you.
You're not keeping your word. You said that you would release all of the materials under your direct control.
>> on Epstein than I have? Has anyone?
>> much more has come out in the days since the American people and Congress have been demanding it, but it's coming out in drips and drabs. Why don't you just release the entire file as you promised to do? I'm excuse me, much more has come out in the days since the American people and Congress have been demanding it, but it's coming out in drips and drabs. Why don't you just release the entire file as you >> I literally just told you there are multiple federal court orders. I'm not going to break the law to satisfy your curiosity. You didn't join us when we filed court to release the court orders.
You could have. You have lawyers. You could have shown up. You didn't do that.
>> That's a tiny fraction of the material we're talking about. It is a tiny fraction.
>> seen everything? Have you seen everything? It's all misdirection.
>> of the gentleman has expired. The gentleman from California is recognized.
