Supported by clips from the hearing, I evaluate how Patel misled, deviated, and insulted to avoid any responsibility over the files of Jeffrey Epstein, to prevent any investigation, and — possibly — to protect Donald Trump. He is there to serve Donald Trump’s interests. It doesn’t mean that Donald Trump’s name is among Epstein’s clients — I can’t prove that. Trump gets away with lying about his connections with Russia because it’s “the Democrats” that brought this up. He can get away with lying about the Trump Organization because “the courts are after him”.
