On Sunday night, the FBI released a 2-page memo stating that convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein had no “client list,” leading everyone to believe that President Donald Trump’s DOJ was engaged in a major cover-up…and there’s no denying it reeks of a cover-up… but maybe it wasn’t the Trump admin at all.
A former CIA officer named John Kiriakou joined Fox News’ Jesse Watters to discuss what he thinks ACTUALLY happened with the much-anticipated Epstein files.
Following the release of the FBI memo, Trump appointees US Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino have all been getting hammered by Americans on both sides of the aisle who point the finger at them for what seems to be an obvious concealment of the truth
Kiriakou, who spent 14 years with the CIA, said that the deep state intelligence community almost certainly destroyed the Epstein files BEFORE the Trump DOJ ever got anywhere near the case.
“I’m not blaming the FBI director Kash Patel or the Deputy Director Dan Bongino,” John Kiriakou said.
“I think that that layer beneath them, that’s part of what we like to call the Deep State, has taken this bull by the horns, and they’ve probably destroyed information,” he said.
Did Joe Biden’s Justice Department or some other Deep State insurgents destroy these files – and hang the Trump team out to dry?!
It’s very possible…
Watch the video here to see why the Trump admin might not be responsible for this mess after all!
