Joe Kovacs devoted a May 18 WorldNetDaily article to hyping insinuations by FBI Director Kash Patel and deputy director Dan Bongino that, in the words of Fox Newss host Maria Bartiromo, there were “FBI agents undercover egging people on” during the Capitol riot. Kovacs waited until the 13th paragraph to drop this arguably more important bit of news:
Regarding the case of notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, Bartiromo asked both officials why many Americans don’t buy the government assertion that Epstein killed himself in a New York City jail.
“They have a right to their opinion,” Patel said, “but as someone who has worked as a public defender, as a prosecutor who’s been in that prison system, who’s been in the Metropolitan Detention Center, who’s been in segregated housing, you know a suicide when you see one, and that’s what that was.”
Bongino said: “He killed himself. I’ve seen the whole file. He killed himself.”
That didn’t go over well within the conspiracy circles WND normally runs around in, so Kovacs had to do a follow-up article the next day featuring a certain fellow conspiracy-mongerer complaining about what they said:
Regarding the case of notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, Bartiromo asked both officials why many Americans don’t buy the government assertion that Epstein killed himself in a New York City jail.
“I call bullsh**,” said Infowars host Alex Jones.
“Overall, I think Kash Patel and Dan Bongino are doing a great job, but on this claim that Epstein’s death is not a cover-up I call bullsh**.”
Jones posted a lengthy comment on X, indicating: “EPSTEIN confirmed a suic*de? Maria sits down with FBI’s Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, who claim Epstein did, in fact, commit suic*de. Now, let’s get into why people do not believe this theory.”
Kovacs didn’t mention that Jones has discredited himself by telling lies about the Sandy Hook massacre and has been trying to weasel out of paying millions of dollars in damages to the parents of the children killed in the massacre.
