The White House is desperately trying to move on by directing the ongoing uproar to the FBI as MAGA world clamors for the release of more Jeffrey Epstein files. When asked on Monday why the president does not just order the FBI to release the full Epstein files, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt left the ball in the bureau’s court and claimed it was up to the attorney general.

“The president has said if the Department of Justice and the FBI want to move forward with releasing any further credible evidence, they should do so,” Leavitt responded. “As to why they have or have not or will, you should ask the FBI.”

However, it was the FBI and Justice Department that had released a memo earlier this month indicating no further information would be released, igniting the entire firestorm to begin with. That memo also claimed there was no Epstein client list, raising additional questions after Attorney General Pam Bondi previously indicated in February the list was on her desk for review, before later claiming she was referring to the files as a whole.

When pressed on Monday whether the president would call on FBI Director Kash Patel to do more, Leavitt once again tried to distance the White House from decision making and said it was with the federal law enforcement agency.

1. But, but, but... You just said that no files exist.

3. Patel is disposable, and just a distraction.

Patel is disposable, to Trump.

What the DOJ will do is try to find ways to hide Trump's pedo. They will use anything, like trying to attack Clinton, and hang it on PAtel, as a distraction. They will offer Maxwell amnesty if she will testify against Clinton, and shut up about Trump...

Congressional GOP took a break so they can give Trump time to figure a way out of being exposed as a pedo. And create a cover up for Trump.. This is the first attempt at distraction......

4. Patel is already on record as a known liar ... that makes him expendable

Remember how many people were fired in Chump's first term? I mean of the ones Chump hired himself, he fired most of them by the end of his first year. That's all he can do when anything goes wrong. Chump never answers for own his mistakes, and he NEVER takes any blame. So the answer is to fire somebody.

I believe he'll fire Patel, Bondi, Bob Kennedy, and at least a few staffers before the end of the year. Marco Rubio will probably get fired next year, unless Chump is already gone by then

5. Such transparent nonsense. Trump has proved over and over again the DOJ and the FBI have to do exactly what he

orders them to do or they will be fired.

6. God, I'm loving all this utter desperation. (nt)

7. Just watching for flop sweat at this point.
