FBI Director Kash Patel’s own words came back to haunt him this weekend in the wake of a new release of files on deceased child abuser Jeffrey Epstein.
After the DOJ released millions more Epstein files ahead of the weekend, political analysts and observers began circulating an earlier Patel quote that they see as contradictory to the facts.
Under oath, Patel said, “There’s no credible information that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked minors.”
But ex-Obama staffer Tommy Vietor claims that statement means Patel must be in on a cover-up.
“It is impossible to square the information in the latest Epstein files release with these comments by Kash Patel,” Vietor wrote. “Kash is part of a massive coverup.”
Columnist Molly Jong-Fast also responded to the old Patel quote Saturday, writing only, “I have questions.”
Podcast host Mel Barrettwrote, “Soooo Kash lied to congress? Surely there’s a remedy for that kinda thing @HouseDemocrats @SenateDems @RepJeffries @SenSchumer.”
The Patel quote from 2015 was recirculated amid the file release, and new comments and shares are being added by the minute.
