This past weekend on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, FBI director Kash Patel and his deputy, Dan Bongino, made a stunning declaration: Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide. That was it. Case closed. Bongino even said he’s “seen the file,” as if that alone should convince the American people to move on.
But that’s not how this works.
I couldn’t tell if I was watching an interview or a hostage video.
The public doesn’t owe Patel and Bongino blind trust, especially not on a matter this explosive. In fact, their appearance on Bartiromo’s show torpedoed their credibility.
Epstein wasn’t just another inmate. He was a nexus of corruption, intelligence, and elite abuse — someone whose connections spanned elites, presidents, royalty, billionaires, and spies. His death was either one of the most spectacular security failures in modern history — or something far darker. And no number of official titles or vague references to secret documents should shut down public scrutiny.
Americans have good reason to be suspicious. Epstein’s death was a hall of mirrors from the start. There weren’t just a few oddities; there was an avalanche of contradictions and red flags. Yet Bongino and Patel simply want you to trust what they say their eyes saw.
Nope. Sorry.
