Kash Patel has set a precedent by releasing damaging accusations against private citizens, undermining claims made by the DOJ and FBI regarding the Epstein files. No credible evidence was found regarding Epstein's alleged blackmail of individuals, nor was there sufficient basis for investigating uncharged parties. The DOJ and FBI have determined that no further disclosures are warranted. Patel's release included unfounded theories concerning notable figures, further complicating the narrative surrounding these allegations and impacting public understanding.
In releasing the declassified Durham annex - a document, like the Epstein files, in the custody of FBI and DOJ - Kash released not just information on several prominent uncharged third parties, but unsealed and disseminated "unfounded theories" about them.
In 2016, when Russian spies tried to frame her, Smith was a private citizen. At the time, Smith worked at the Center for New American Security ("CNAS") and was serving as a Clinton campaign foreign policy advisor.
There was also no credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions. We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.
After all, in releasing the declassified Durham annex - a document, like the Epstein files, in the custody of FBI and DOJ - Kash released not just information on several prominent uncharged third parties, but unsealed and disseminated "unfounded theories" about them.
