FBI Director Kash Patel says in testimony to Congress that he does not believe Jeffrey Epstein was murdered.
SENATOR KENNEDY: Did Jeffrey Epstein hang himself or did somebody kill him?
KASH PATEL: Senator, I believe he hung himself in a cell in the Metropolitan Detention Center

It’s not that he hasn’t read the constitution… its that he doesn’t comprehend (understand) what he read.
Quite an exchange just now between Sen. Merkley and FBI Director Kash Patel over whether due process applies to people targeted by the Alien Enemies Act.

This is a coup! U.S. Institute for Peace called the DC police on the Musk team members in an effort to stop them from trespassing because the institute has control of its own building and the land it sits on. But instead, the DC police allowed them to enter and kicked out the institute’s officials.
