What a lie- no Trump? no other people? victim’s lying? Acosta agreement to not prosecute others? MTG says she will read names on floor of Congress with immunity. What about the money? This lying by Patel has to be illegal. WHERE ARE THE FBI WHISTLE BLOWERS?

Thank you for covering this horrible injustice. Like everything it is about pink and green. Pussy and money. Sad.

Sounds like the women are going to have to release the names. Doesn’t look like the administration will reveal anything

I am beginning to get very close to the Wexner situation. I firmly believe that Epstein, Trump, and Wexner not only laundered money through real estate, but a favorite method was using Charitable Funds, like the YLK Children's Charitable Fund, hastily created by Abigail Koppel WEXNER, with only one donor, Jeffrey, just after his arrest in 2006 and just before his first trial appearance where the judge would freeze his assets. Jeffrey also gave a New Albany mansion to Wexner just before his assets were frozen. The fund was short lived and deposited into a Wexner Foundation fund just after Epstein was released from his work release program. Wexner used the Genovese Mafia family to transport his underthings, namely Frank Walsh Trucking. Trump has been found guilty twice of money laundering as well as Frank and his family.

No matter how incompetent Kash Patel is, he won't be fired as long as he keeps kissing ass. The fact that he's lying and participating in a cover-up is not disqualifying, as long as he's doing so in service to his superiors. Like a cornered rat, Patel gets hostile whenever he's put on the spot; but instances of losing his temper and insulting members of Congress are taken as demonstrations of his loyalty to Trump. Sycophancy is still the primary qualification for any job in the Trump administration, which now includes the DOJ and FBI, regardless of their purported independence.

There was no credible evidence that Kash Patel told the truth about much of anything in his testimony today. He showed himself to be incompetent in his job and not in control of his emotions.

Yeah, Kash… and (as my late dad would say) I have a 9 inch pecker (he didn’t. And neither do i. My dad was a mechanic and a welder, so that was pretty clean for him). When they say no β€œcredible” evidence, they should have to define credible. Dems should demand they give the parameters and rubric they used to determine what is and is not β€œcredible”!

I hope the victims release the list in a way that EVERYONE sees it at the same time! Mass media, MSNBC, PBS, NBC, ABC, Al Jazeera, . The victims need to be represented and heard!

I gotta love it when both parties claim to love women and present themselves as their protectors and advocates. What a bipartisan collection of immorality and baloney.

We saw everything we needed to know from Kash Patel today.

Any rational human can watch how these individuals respond to this and understand what is really true. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see what is going on.

These women are obviously credible. How can these people not care about their plight.

I think there are more people that care than do not care. So many people are just scared and intimidated. Everyone is worried about losing what they have at the expense of what is right.

Keep fighting!

No credible information - right up there with 'It all depends on what is is.' Or 'No controlling legal authority.'
