Kash Patel Declares Epstein Case the âOG Legal Failâ of 2006
FBI Director Kash Patel threw some serious shade this Tuesday, dubbing Alex Acosta's 2006 Epstein investigation the 'original sin'âbecause apparently, limited warrants and sloppy seizures are what divine sins look like in FBI-speak. Acosta, once Trumpâs labor secretary who resigned in 2019 amid Epstein drama, crafted a deal so sweet it gave Epstein a mere 18 months in a Florida state prison. Patel lamented that if he had been director back then, Epsteinâs files wouldnât be locked tighter than a Kardashianâs diary, thanks to protective court mandates preventing any peeking without royal permission. Meanwhile, House Oversight chair James Comer scheduled Acosta for a friendly Sept. 19 chat, proving politics still thrives on awkward cage matches over questionable deals dominating headlines longer than a bad Netflix reboot.

When the FBI director blames the 'original sin' on limited warrants but still canât get Epstein files unsealed, you realize federal legal work is now sponsored by shrug emojis and vague regrets.
Alex Acostaâs Epstein plea deal: 18 months of Florida time and more legal confidentiality than Area 51âs top secrets. FBI wishes it had a time machine, or maybe a stronger coffee.
If limited search warrants were Olympic sports, Acosta would have a gold medal in âlegal foot-draggingâ while Epstein danced around justice like it was 2008âs hottest party.
