This morning I was on for another segment on Chicago’s Morning Answer radio program with Dan Proft and Amy Jacobson, as I often am, and the result was reasonably interesting.
A couple of topics were the focus – one was the utter dysfunctionality of the FBI, in the wake of revelations that the Richmond office had sent out a directive warning about Catholics who attend Latin mass as “extremists,” and that note went out to more than 1,000 people inside the bureau without a single objection being voiced.
Which is incredible, and it shows just how sick the FBI had gotten under James Comey and Christopher Wray.
My opinion is that the FBI can’t be saved. I’m not one to beat up Kash Patel and Dan Bongino over a perceived lack of progress in getting accountability for the rampant corruption we see in government and elsewhere, because I’m not sure the institution as it currently exists is capable of being mobilized for such a task.
And that led us into a discussion of Bongino’s assertion that the evidence shows Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. Proft isn’t sold on it. I’m of two minds here – either Bongino is telling the truth and we were wrong in our assumption somebody killed Epstein, or Patel and Bongino aren’t willing to chance this fight because whoever had enough stroke to kill Epstein in his jail cell also would have enough stroke to wipe the evidence of the murder, and they’ll never be able to prove those suspicions and have therefore punted.
Which led us to the second topic, which was Elon Musk saying that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files as part of the public spat between the two. My take is this is all a ruse to distract everyone’s attention from, I’m guessing, the legislative negotiations over both the Big Beautiful Bill and the rescission bills beginning to trickle up to Capitol Hill.
It was a pretty good segment. Here’s the whole thing…
