FBI Director Kash Patel said Tuesday that the bureau has "no credible information" that sex offender Jeffrey Epstein trafficked young women to other individuals beside himself. He also said the "original sin" in the Epstein case was former Trump cabinet member Alex Acosta's handling of it.
NEW: FBI Director Kash Patel says recent court orders " related to a few dozen pages of grand jury material " are preventing him from releasing the FBI's massive trove of Epstein files. That's not what the courts actually said.

From "Trump team finds someone to throw under the bus on Epstein" (www.cnn.com):
Tuesday's Senate hearing featuring FBI Director Kash Patel didn't shed a ton of light on the substance of the Jeffrey Epstein files. But it was hugely significant in another way: It signaled a new political effort by the Trump administration to ascribe blame.
And the target is none other than a former top Trump administration official " one whom Trump very notably once defended.
Patel is an unqualified substandard moron.

He maybe but, help me out is there any new evidence since he's been in charge?
IOW when Trump DOJ brought him, is there new evidence? Did Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden DOJ miss something?
"The indictment unsealed today alleges that, between 2002 through 2005, EPSTEIN sexually exploited and abused dozens of underage girls by enticing them to engage in sex acts with him in exchange for money."

Just seems like the chance of this changing would have happened under Biden if there was evidence.
I get it both sides want some one on the other team to be guilty, but either they are both covering for each other, or there is just nothing there.
And when you read the Republican version of the hearings, everything went fine for the worst director in the history of the FBI:
