Some say that there is no such thing as a stupid question, but Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Illinois, just found out that FBI Director Kash Patel doesn’t subscribe to that ideology.
Durbin was grilling Patel about the Trump administration’s official findings regarding the Jeffrey Epstein client list. During his line of questioning, the senator asked why the July 7 memo stating that no such list existed was “unsigned.”
He wasn’t ready for Patel’s response:
Dick Durbin asks about Kash Patel releasing an “unsigned memo.”

“Would you have preferred I use autopen?” the director asked, throwing Durbin off guard.
“Uh, well why was it unsigned?” he senator pressed again.
“The memorandum had the insignia of the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and in our effort to secure transparency for the American people, because the three prior administrations had not done so, we conducted an exhaustive search of everything related to the Epstein cases. And we produced what was legally and permissibly able to be produced at Congress to the American public, and when there’s a congressional subpoena, and we continue to do so,” Patel continued.
X users had a laugh at the FBI director’s response:
This absolutely sent me

Apparently Dick Dummy Durbin thinks the FBI should be scouring documents for evidence that only links President Trump to Epstein..? We know for an absolute fact Bill Clinton flew around the world and on many occasions with Epstein, yet, he doesn’t mention him at all… These…

Unsigned memo is not the problem. Career politicians IS the problem

Every time I see Kash Patel, I am further convinced that President Trump made the PERFECT choice.
This guy isn’t taking s*** from anyone, let alone a turd sandwich like Durbin.

If there was ANYTHING in the Epstein files that could make Trump look bad it would have been leaked by Dems years ago. They have no policies to hang their hats on, just stupid stuff to try and make Trump look bad…but people aren’t buying it.
