KENNEDY: "Who, if anyone, did Epstein traffic these young women to?"

...the testimony of the three women in the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, where a jury convicted her of sex trafficking. And the statements of all the women who have come forward since. And probably the evidence in the documents seized from Epstein’s properties by the FBI.

But other than that, no evidence at all. Wait. Is he saying all those women were not credible? Pretty sure the Maxwell jury settled that issue. Does he understand this isn’t a podcast?

This is not a podcast.

HIRONO: What are the names of the people who replaced them in those positions?

PATEL: The cyber branch is one of the most important at the FBI

HIRONO: Who has those positions?

HIRONO: Names?

PATEL You're not getting them

HIRONO: You don't know

They all wear masks to work. Nobody knows who they are.

WELCH: That was a mistake

PATEL: I don't see it as a mistake

WELCH: So if you put out a statement that says 'we got our man' and in fact it turns out that you didn't, that's not a mistake?

PATEL: That's not what I said

He didn’t do it on purpose, but it wasn’t a mistake. (It’s not exactly what he said. It is what he meant. Even as he was tweeting from the NYC restaurant, the authorities in Utah were holding a press conference to announce they had no suspect in custody.)

WELCH: You said you wanted to ground Wray's private jet travel. In March, an FBI plane flew roundtrip from DC to Vegas and you attended a UFC fight with Mel Gibson. Is that true?

PATEL: The difference is I live in Las Vegas. I'm allowed to go home.

WELCH: On April 5 you attended a hockey game in NYC. You don't live there, right?

PATEL: No, I don't

And they’ll stop that mean old crime, and beat it up, and it’ll never come back ever, ever, ever!

‘Cause that’s how law enforcement works!

It is a wonder tall trees ain’t layin’ down.
