Kash has outdone himself this time. Wow. He boasted, and promptly got hammered for it. Apparently, he doesn’t remember what he’s previously said, either. It makes him a great fit for Trump’s cabinet, doncha think? From Raw Story:
“200 Days of Trump Admin, From Jan 20 to Present: FBI has arrested over 1,600 people for violent crimes against children, to include 270 arrests for human trafficking,” Patel wrote. In a separate post, the head of the FBI added that the bureau “has identified and found 4,000 child victims.”
And? Well? Is that all he has to say about it? Because that’s just words. He didn’t provide any facts to back himself up. Just this statement. That’s damn near useless. These are some of the reactions.
Barry Rubin, Senior Video Director at Republican Accountability Project and The Bulwark, said, “Release the files, bro.” Republicans against Trump asked, “When are you releasing the Epstein files?” GOP pollster Sarah Longwell also asked, “Are any of them from the Epstein files you promised to release?” (EDIT: underlining mine)
Yowza. Those couldn’t be any plainer. Words without facts do nothing. He could write out the dictionary for the same effect. Show us the files, Kash. Until you prove you have data, nothing you write (or say) is going to be taken with more than one tiny grain of salt. That’s not even a pinch of salt. No, it’s just a grain. Others were even harsher.
Journalist Jim Stewartson replied with, “You just fired the FBI agent who has made the most arrests of pedophiles in American history. You are hilariously covering up for pedophile Donald Trump. You are legally attacking a blogger for telling the truth about you. You are a Russian joke, and a f—— traitor.” A political strategist who goes by Sunday School Alum said, “But not Trump or any of his friends. You should be ashamed!” (EDIT: Underlining mine)
Indeed, he should be. Considering the temperature of the country right now, adding in that some of MAGA is questioning the words and actions of the president, and you have a volatile mix. No one is going to believe a damn thing he writes or says without real, hard truth to *prove* what he’s saying. Words only require air. *We* require facts. Until then, Kash can do whatever he wishes. He won’t be believed.
Friends, I know everybody begs you for money. I promise you that of all of the outlets bugging you for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a bunch of old, disabled people, with the exception of one writer in his mid-50s. But the rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the ability to keep going in our quest to tell the truth about Trump and see democracy survive. If you can help, please do. Thanks. Ursula
Unfortunately three of my friends are in prison and or jail awaiting trial for sex offenses. Patel and Trump make me angry and sick. The Epstein List needs to be released and Trump need to be punished for his crimes.
Are you sure bro? You didn’t, during your confirmation, remember being on a right wing podcast EIGHT PHUCKING TIMES!!! Either you’re a liar bro, or dementia is creeping in. Tell you what…when you can look me straight in the eyes with BOTH your eyes, I’m going with liar. What’s that you say, it’s congenital, well…go to your ‘savior’ and get your shit and your story straight.
Patel’s post is such a slap in the face to all victims of sex crimes, most especially those who were hunted and tracked like animals by the predator duo Epstein and Maxwell. Is Patel so completely out of touch and tone deaf to not have realized his posting (or boasting, take your pick) indicates he is more exited about a “win” for the FBI (who, by the way, had more than enough wins coming their way before DOGE and Patel showed up) than he is about the victims behind those news busting claims he posted. They suffer every day that their perpetrators aren’t caught, prosecuted and put in jail. I’m so ashamed what has happened to our FBI, CIA, and all legitimate law enforcement agencies in our nation! So many former law enforcement over the years would have hung their heads low if they could see what is happening here!
