Former CIA agent says Epstein questions won't be answered

One former intelligence officer seems ready to point a finger at those in his former community, saying he doesn’t think the general public will ever get answers about Jeffrey Epstein.

The late financier-turned human trafficker allegedly died via suicide while in federal custody in late 2019, and a recent release by the FBI confirmed that, plus indicated that he had no “client list,” as The Daily Mail reported.

According to ex-CIA operative John Kiriakou, however, the list won’t make it to the public because it has valuable intelligence information that the CIA won’t hand over to the public, just because the public demanded to see it.

Worthy of note is Kiriakou’s assertion that Epstein was employed by Israeli intelligence service, Mossad.

From Kiriakou

Kiriakou spoke just days ago on an episode of Patrick Bet-David's podcast and said, “I believe that he was a Mossad access agent. It makes perfect sense to me.

“Jeffrey Epstein, in my view, is a textbook case of an access agent … If you are a foreign intelligence service and you want information from ... important people, you want secret information from them—you’re not going to recruit them.

The former agent went on, saying, “They don’t need anything from you. They don’t have any financial vulnerabilities.

“So you do the next best thing: you recruit someone who has access to them, and you finance this person... he has a private island.”

Another interview

Earlier this month, Kiriakou appeared on Fox News, saying that he doesn’t believe anything about the recent FBI intelligence report.

“No, I don’t think this adds up,” Kiriakou said. “We really don’t know anything because the FBI doesn’t want us to know anything. I’m not blaming the FBI Director Kash Patel or the Deputy Director Dan Bongino.

“I think that that layer beneath them, that’s part of what we like to call the deep state, has taken this bull by the horns, and they’ve probably destroyed information,” Kiriakou said.

Additional examples

According to Kiriakou, this wouldn’t be the first time that a high-profile death is suspiciously without proper resolution.

The intelligence worker pointed to other instances where the government was involved, saying, “Look at what the CIA did in 1975 after Congress ordered that it release all of its files related to an operation called MKUltra.

“The director of the CIA went back to headquarters and ordered everything to be destroyed, and, in the end, only about 20% of the documents survived.”
