Rick Wilson Is Correct. FBI Insiders Are Leaking To Media Evidence About Trump In Epstein Case. [1]

Both Rick Wilson, Tim Miller, and Josh Marshall have stated they all heard about the birthday letter that Trump sent to Epstein would be reported about in the WSJ. They all knew for several days about some kind of letter from Trump to Epstein, but it appears they may not have known the specific details. Wilson predicted yesterday that more “size 13 combat boots” will drop from the Epstein case files, and the reason is obvious. FBI field agents and others certainly cannot stand Bongino and Patel, and for those who worked on the Epstein case, there is a distinct fear that Trump will destroy any evidence that mentions his name in those case files.

In other words, to protect the evidence, some of the more damning material related to Trump is going to be leaked to the media. In fact, some of Trump’s efforts with regards to the Epstein case files is being leaked to — wait for it — Senator Dick Durbin of IL.

FBI agents assigned earlier this year to review investigative files in the criminal case against notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were instructed to “flag” any documents that mentioned President Donald Trump, Sen. Richard Durbin said Friday… “According to information my office received, the FBI was pressured to put approximately 1,000 personnel in its Information Management Division (IMD) … on 24-hour shifts to review approximately 100,000 Epstein-related records in order to produce more documents that could then be released on an arbitrarily short deadline,” Durbin wrote to Patel. “This effort, which reportedly took place from March 14 through the end of March, was haphazardly supplemented by hundreds of FBI New York Field Office personnel, many of whom lacked the expertise to identify statutorily-protected information regarding child victims and child witnesses or properly handle FOIA requests,” the letter said. “My office was told that these personnel were instructed to ‘flag’ any records in which President Trump was mentioned.”

Wilson, in the Youtube video, stated that Trump’s lawyers went down to the FBI to begin going through the Epstein case files, and it looks like he was correct. Not only were FBI personnel ensnared in this massive effort, but FBI field agents were dragooned to find any information in the Epstein case files that mentioned Trump’s name. The number of people with some knowledge of this case now has expanded to well over a thousand.

Obviously, Trump intends on destroying the evidence in the Epstein case files. Remember, this is the same guy who stole loads of government top secret files to store in his bathroom at Mar-A-Lago. We still have no idea if Trump destroyed some of those stolen documents.

And for Durbin to have found out what is going on in the FBI means that someone in the FBI is leaking to him. It’s gotta be. And as Wilson states above, Patel must be going nuts trying to find those leakers. Patel is administering lie detector tests to those at the FBI who are not politically loyal to Trump and Patel.

Frankly, I cannot think of a dumber thing to do. It’s going to sink morale at the FBI, except for those assholes who are already MAGA. And I’m sure Trump is on the phone bellowing at Patel to find those leakers ASAP.

A hostile work environment is a great place to produce leakers, if only to stick it to your incompetent, abusive, asshole bosses. And like many other government employees, I know there have to be many at the FBI wondering, “When is fuckin’ DOGE going to fire me?” I can tell you that where I work, more than a few of my fellow employees cannot stand our higher ups (Luttnick gets no love at the Census Bureau).

Therefore, I expect more leaks from those Epstein files.
