AG Pam Bondi — Claimed She Had Jeffrey Epstein List — Yells at Reporter ‘Nothing About Epstein!’ newsvideoclip.com/ag-pam-bondi...
Bondi going through the Epstein files and seeing Trump's name as well as many, many other MAGAt names
4. bsky.app/profile/bazz...
what happened with this?
Trump is involved with having sex with underage women
I would like to assert that options 1 and 2 are not incompatible and are in my opinion, both highly likely—first smear the Democrats, second cover up that the guilty party is actually DJT himself.
“Still a third possibility is that the administration has been telling the truth from the start…” Not a possibility in this universe.
Wow, Politico left out the fourth scenario.
Blondi is scum!
Scenarios 1-3: Trump and his associates are all over those documents. The evidence is beyond a reasonable doubt. If it never sees the light of day, Trump can continue to evade prison which has been the motivation for his second term. Maybe we just need to hold all these criminals accountable?
Trump now calls this the Epstein hoax. OMG if that doesn’t prove that the “Russian hoax” is totally real then you are gullible. Anytime he says hoax, that now means the story is spot on. When he says fake news. It means there’s a lot of truth to it, but some of it is being reported incorrectly
Of their own MAKING...the irony is delicious. Crash and burn coming for them...Bondi goes 1st.
At the core, Fat Hitler is an idiot and he has surrounded himself with unqualified grifters who are so bad at their jobs, they make him look good...if such a thing were possible.
Make a deck of cards out of the list and play it like Go Fish... Got any Obamas? Go Fish. Do you have any Saudi princes?
Their complaints about the deep state disappear when the spotlight is cast on their deep-seated bullshit.
Guessing what’s in those files is more damning to the Republican Party if it was released than if they seem to bumble this & piss off the maga base. And that’s very telling.
DOJ is also from Florida part of 🍊 long-time political alliance. She won't investigate him because the accusations are true.
AG not DOJ 🥴
😡
She's just another Trump bimbo.
They're watching it on purpose so when it goes to court, it's thrown out and a miss trial
Botching i meant
It’s clear that Trumps personal and the administrative denials that the files exist is proof that they do and are being suppressed for political reasons.
It’s easy to see what Trump’s going to do: 1) deny everything as fake news 2) fully pardon Maxwell 3) move on with full backing of cult 4) go golf at his golf course 5) continue the grift as usual with the full blessings of the justice department he owns
And Democrats will write strongly-worded letters. Bondi will destroy all the evidence. We will all end up debating whether she really had the authority to destroy all the incriminating evidence. And MAGA and the mainstream media will shrug their shoulders and say, "I guess we'll never really know."
Exactly
Ahh, but Putin has a copy and they can’t destroy that.
I have often wondered why Epstein didn't have a friend he could trust with his "insurance." "If something happens to me, drop this package in the mail. Be sure it gets to Rolling Stone magazine." Maybe Ghislane Maxwell does.
Maxwell probably was his “insurance policy” but after seeing his ‘demise’ come so quickly in Trump’s DOJ custody, she decided to stay silent… probably a wise move allowing her to use her ‘insurance policy’ … she’s in a tight spot to say the least
Something's gotta leak. Or, I should say, someone is going to leak. I think Paxton's wife found something out about her husband. I just wish the Democrats would play as dirty as MAGA.
They do. Only for the same people.
The sad thing is 76million Americans chose the Pedo rapist for President…. and continue to support him till this day (knowing that) as they grasp at anything he says to justify his and their vile position…. decency(and their pubescent daughters) be damned while power is all that matters to them
YES.............
My guess is they thought they could just lie and say they don’t exist was a hoax burned the files in the White House fireplace and it would go away but it seems others also have copies of the files so the blackmail begins
I think MAGA may be realizing, they have been bamboozled. Their starting to realize Trump is the SWAMP BEAST. He got his KOOL-AID drinkers to buy anything he said or anything he was selling. Their starting to feel like the SUCKERS and LOSERS he talks about. Guilty of everything he's accused of.
4th scenario is they have the list and want to use it as leverage or $$$
These are my words and how I feel.... I am so over America, the Epstein files, Trump, the entire Republican party and let's not forget the corruption in the Supreme Court.
The DOJ may be in the same branch however their DUTIES are to UPHOLD the LAW not BREAK the LAW.
so true!
You are a bit upset. I see why. I am delighted to live in Spain!
And the day my family leaves his country will be the most delightful experience ever. At least I have something to look forward to if I don't die first.
There’s no saving this mess. Only ourselves.
Let's be real. Dems are silent on it because of Bill Clinton.
And let's be real I seriously doubt most Democrats could care less about protecting Bill Clinton if he's on the list he needs to go to prison just like anybody else is on the list.
Why do you think they're silent about it, when they could've released it this time last year when there was an election coming up?
When did I say the list did not exist. I'm saying it exists and slick willy and trump are both on it.
I never said you said that as your comment was vague. I have had many Orange Butt Lickers comment to me similar things insuating Clinton is on the list and we were protecting him Lmmfao which is asinine. If Cliton is on the list then he needs to be in a prison sell with Orange Poop. 🙂
Oh I'm not a trumpie don't worry haha. The party definitely associates with him. I think R's don't want it out cos of Trump, Dems didn't push it because Bill and also there might be pressure from UK from royal family. Too many powerful people that will never get convicted.
FACTS and we all know all Trump, Clinton and Andrew have for sure crossed those lines!
It sucks cos the Dems should've been louder about it last year before the election and tried to get the list out. Maybe that would've hurt Trump seeing how upset the MAGAS are.
I AGREE! Democrats are too soft and I have to remind myself they are also paid by the same billionaires at times through PAC. America has sold lies and we really do not have TRUE democracy. None of these politicians should EVER be allowed to be funded the way they do.
I'm not surrendering my country to a bunch of substandard lardassed rednecks cosplaying badasses and nazis. None of them are innocents, that entire government is corrupt on both sides of the aisle. For reference see the crickets about the most rigged election in US history, 2024. They all gotta go.
I admire you. My family however realizes America has never been great & the ONLY thing the USA has to offer is DEBT & DEATH. The world is so much bigger than this country and 73 countries offer Universal Health Care and/or college. They also offer a living wage and you don't live to work.
60-70% want universal healthcare. This video shows how: Put market on SUPPLY side & single-payer M4A on DEMAND side. If Dems learn to talk both social AND market principles, they will win BIG! Dem candidates should watch the full playlist, "New Addition to Economics." www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-3C...
I agree 💯💯💯
Thanks!
We can stop this crap, and change the things that we've allowed the wealthy and greedy to corrupt, if we rise together. So that's the plan afaic.
that's been rigged against them for a half century. This country is their birthright, and I'm surrounded by people in similar positions, who also deserve their piece of this pie. We far outnumber that wanna-be nazi trash, all that's required is for us to realize where we're at, and what we can do.
I can't afford to flee anywhere. I'm 60, with no savings because I've raised my kids by myself on what a cook makes, and the only thing I have to look forward to is the SS I've been paying into since I was 13 years old. My kids also have nothing, as yet, they're just getting their start in an econ
I can't afford to flee anywhere right now however it is my goal to get the f*** out of here it will probably take me 10 years but this country is not good enough for my daughter she is 14 years old & Brown. I wasted my entire life here thinking things would get better and they're not.
Who do you think has control over the DOJ?
Trump......
Correct. And in the Biden era?
The only Era the DOJ has been controlled by the President is this one. .... As it's Fascism..
You honestly don't know that the DOJ is executive branch? And always has been?
So the President has control over the DOJ..... Can arrest anyone he wants on made up charges. And I'm from Europe. So how the America system works make no sense to me...
The DOJ may be in the same branch however their DUTIES are to UPHOLD the LAW not BREAK the LAW.
I would remind you that slavery was once the law. Segregation was once the law. Bans on homosexuals and interracial marriage were once the law. Putting Japanese people in concentration camps was once the law. Child marriage was once legal. It's the Dept of JUSTICE, not the Dept of Law.
You don't need to remind me of any of that I have a black child and many gay friends. I also grow up in Miami in the 80s when we had concentration camps under i-95 for the Cubans for several years they didn't even get tents. So it's time to me how so many Cubans voted for trump
But your point is valid, they are not given carte blanche to violate the law. Past AGs have ended up in prison for that.
"Can arrest anyone he wants on made up charges." You honestly believe that? I'll tell you right now that is NOT true. I mean, physically I am sure they can, just like I can kidnap anyone I wish, or you can kidnap anyone YOU wish. But it isn't legal.
Well what are ICE doing. Arresting people and deporting them without due process which is illegal. The rule of law in American means nothing to Trump. Wouldn't even say he would uphold the Constitution recently ....
Your argument seems to be that because people can and do break laws, that shows that Biden never did? Did I get that right?
The DOJ was independent under Biden.
Garland could have been fired by Biden any time Biden wants to. It was NOT 'independent' under Biden, or any other president. You COULD make an argument that before 1868 they were independent, but it would be a weak argument, since POTUS still hired his choices.
A semblance now not one iota ! Degrees make a differennce
I'm sorry, but your post made no sense.
No independence at all now! Never perfect but this is a joke . I agree my statement made no Sense lol
In 1868 Johnson inherited the cabinet of the previous administration, and was impeached for firing a few of them. THAT possibly could have been an 'independent' DOJ, IF Johnson had been convicted and removed. But since then, the DOJ is firmly under the control of POTUS, and was before 1868 too.
Then I checked on Google the DOJ I know for its culture of independence... Which Trump has removed
Do you know what "culture of independence" means in a court of law?? Nothing.
The point wasn’t about whether “culture of independence” holds legal weight in a courtroom. It was about how the DOJ is designed to function independently from political pressure—especially from the President. That matters for maintaining public trust and the integrity of investigations.
Incompetence comes to mind
Excellent column.
How about we don’t write think pieces on why they’re failing and just let them fail.
Bondi cared nothing for the ROL while in FL. Why should it be different in Washington. Likely she is in mentioned with in the files. I saw at least one picture of her with Trump and Epstein. Trump was leering at her.
She took a mushroom ride.
Why is the left all of a sudden so interested in Epstein? TDS.
bsky.app/profile/theg...
For the sake of argument let’s say there really isn’t an Epstein client list and the Dems knew this for four years. Wouldn’t it have behooved the Democrats to not say anything because they knew no one would believe them and they simply let Pam Bondi and the Republicans walk into their own propellor?
It’s now the Department of Injustice with the current AG.
Because Trump is a raper of children, the Epstein files confirm this, and the entire DOJ will lose their jobs and end up in Alligator Alcatraz if they make those facts public?
no rich important people will end up there. That's for the poors.
These people owe any status they have to Trump. He’d have them killed on live TV if he felt like it.
Whenever you engage in a cover-up (for whatever reasons), you're asking for trouble. And this administration has trouble.
Maybe she participated. There are pics of her with orange man and Epstein.
1. they 2. are 3. fucking idiots
they're botching it up on purpose. incase leaks do occur, they'll have an focal point in which they'll say it was tampered with Trumps a fool. His base accepts all his bad, worse, terrible shit & lies. Just had to come clean & they wouldn't care. DOJ sure wont do anything, so he had/has no worries
Trump had been named in legal documents with charges made by Katie Johnson that he and Jeffrey Epstein raped her when she was 13 years old. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...
We’ve known about this for quite a while? I believe she was paid off prior to Trump’s first election. The justice system is protecting very powerful people in the United States. There’s no two ways about it.
Shorter: Trump is guilty as fuck.
Why do republicans support pedophilia?
same reason they support youth pastors
DOJ Barbie only has one way out, and that is to say publicly that “I was only trying to protect my boss.” That will get her forgiveness from MAGA even if they’re still mad at 🍊.
It stinks
@papst-ny.bsky.social
LIE.LIE.LIE.MORE OF THE CLOWN SHOW 🤡 👀🤔😡💯👍🏾#stayvisible #thinkforyourself #realtalk
Was Melania one of Jeffery Epstein’s girls through Paolo Zampolli (Melania’s modeling manager) when she first arrived in the U.S… hmmm!!🤔😕🧐🤨 Zampolli and Epstein were friends and both claim to have introduced Donald to Melania.
Because "Dictator Donald," told her to!! He thinks this country is his own personal dish garden & the Cabinet & Repub House members are no more than his own personal servants.
No, I'm sorry — that's just not accurate. — B O T H — — P A R T I E S — — P R O T E C T — — P E D O P H I L E S — Now, you could say Trump is a pedophile. That would work.
I've been getting this criticism a lot. And though that might be true, every single Democrat voted to release the files and every single Republican voted against it. Maybe it was 'performative' on the Dems part...but if republicans had voted with them, the files would be coming out.
The Dems knew the GOP wouldn’t cross that line. This is classic Dem behavior: perform resistance they know will fail, then pretend their hands are tied. Where was all this righteous fury about Epstein during Biden's term? Nonexistent. That said, I'd take a Democrat over a Republican any day.
Why isn't the Braun Bronzer Bozo in his padded forensic psych cell?
Look, they could be trying to protect famous sexual predator Donald Trump, or they could just be the usual kind of wildly incompetent folks Donald Trump employs.
When you can't pick just one.
They'll eventually release a bunch of fake info that implicates their enemies, bet
DOJ, have probably been told to destroy ALL Epstein files that implicate Donald Trump,that's why there are no Epstein files left.
Ask Acosta Subpoena him Now www.npr.org/2019/07/09/7...
BLACKMAIL? Follow the dollar?
" Why is the DOJ botching the Epstein saga?" This one's easy - just look who's at the DOJ. 🤨
Here you go: Trump is all over the Epstein files, and scrubbing him out would be blatantly obvious.
Bondi is Trump’s Maxwell.
While sections of MAGA are going nuts over #EpsteinFiles ... It does stink of a cover-up. Trump knew him and partied with him. The GOP has wound its Base up for decades with Conspracy Theories. They cannot be surprised with this reaction.
Exactly. You can’t spend years feeding people conspiracies and then act shocked when they demand answers. And let’s be real—Trump’s ties to Epstein aren’t some fringe theory, they’re well-documented.
So is Trump saying Prince Andrew wasn't a client. The Queen / King of England coughed up £18m to settle.
youtu.be/DeLoTf9QUqI?...
She will face justice one day. She’s corrupt to the core. Shameful.
Trump's tariffs & his dismantling of FEMA & NOAA (among other things) are putting a hurt on MAGA & they've decided they want him gone now so NOW they have a serious issue with pedos & it's obvious that Trump is one. Ironic, since a lot of MAGA have been busted for sex offenses with children.
Every accusation
SÓ TRUE! invert the narrative and amplify it!
It’s not a debacle, it’s a cover up and a 5th grader could tell you why someone would try and cover it up. Trump betting is followers are not smarter than a 5th grader!
That's an easy one, he's guilty and they're incompetent.
Two….definitely reason 2
#EpsteinCoverUp
SCREAM it from the rafters! EPSTEIN FILES! EPSTEIN FILES! EPSTEIN FILES! EPSTEIN FILES! EPSTEIN FILES! EPSTEIN FILES! EPSTEIN FILES! EPSTEIN FILES! EPSTEIN FILES! EPSTEIN FILES! EPSTEIN FILES! EPSTEIN FILES! EPSTEIN FILES! EPSTEIN FILES! EPSTEIN FILES! EPSTEIN FILES! EPSTEIN FILES! EPSTEIN FILES!
bsky.app/profile/shed...
Here's the TL;DR version: incompetence and sleaziness from the top.
There's only one explanation and everyone on the planet knows what it is. Trump is a proven predator that was involved in Epstein's sex trafficking for a decade, and that's just what we know of.
DOJ is no longer interested in justice.
Extremely well written and clearly explained article!
Blondi is the TOXIC CORRUPT AG that is rotting the DOJ from the top down.
Great writing, yes if the Head of law enforcement agencies does not have people's confidence or the ability to actually answer questions we are in trouble. If, hopefully not when, there is a national emergency I do not have confidence in the team he assembled.
Remember this guy who became part of Trumps first admin even knowing all his previous convictions. www.newsweek.com/trump-nader-...
* Dementia Donald The lord and savior of 77 million MAGA’s voters. The main problem is the MAGA/QAnon Trump base supporters. The far-right American political conspiracy theory and political movement. And the Republican Party is a Jonestown loyally do as Trump dictates. *
bsky.app/profile/jene...
Bondi is highly likely on that list of clients to travel to Epstein Island. Are we all surprised that murderers and rapists can lie?
You know they are all in there. It can't be nothing, or why is Ghislaine Maxwell in prison, and what about her little black book that was evidence?
There are high ranking people stopping the release...period.
I would love for this to be the thing that finally ends this regime because it’s just so sordid, evil and corrupt. Let’s see this whole thing blow up like a week old roadkill skunk, rotting in the sun.
Because they all are incompetent.
💯The entire ship of fools.
The answers is “The Department of NO Justice anymore is why!
Clearly the DOJ has been a rotted institution for decades, maybe always. I said that throughout the Biden administration & much of the Dem base was wildly in love with Garland & refused to accept how vile & corrupt he was. These are the same folks who expect the military to save us. Foolish.
replace the word 'botching' with the word 'coverup' and you'll have your answer.... #jailTrump
How about Trump told them to destroy the files and they are obeying their 🍊 King
They're not botching the investigation. They're botching the cover up. Thank God they're incompetent ass wipes because it's now clearer than ever that Trump is a pedo and so is half of D.C. and those that aren't appear to be enablers.
Trump is now calling the Epstein files a hoax. AKA he's on the list.
A prostitute protecting her pedophile boss. Whoda thunk it.
Gotta keep ya pimp hand strong!
🤣🤣
There's clearly something they don't want the public to know... and the Public has a right to know.
There should be zero confusion. Trump is on the list! Every action is an admission. Keep him rattled. Keep them triggered.
Considering Pam Bondi bragged about having the Epstein files on her desk, there's no way Scenario 3 "The administration legitimately believed the conspiracy and are surprised that it isn't real" is true. That leaves Trump ruthlessly exploited the Epstein list for personal gain or he's on the list.
And considering Trump's own remarks regarding Epstein and his ocean of sexual assault allegations, the latter is vastly more likely.
2 out of your 3 options might be possible if Trump hadn't made clear that Bondi wasn't botching anything. That revealed that the job she's doing IS TO COVER UP the involvement of Trump and his friends interactions with Epstein
Option 4: Trump became President to find out what they actually had on him. If it was nothing he'd let anyone do what they wanted with the Epistein files. If he was in there, he'd do exactly what's taken place.
If Bongini and Patel weren't so adamant and scripted in their announcement that Epstein committed suicide, 2 of these 3 are possible. But because of THAT combined with all else we know, this is 100% a coverup of Trump's involvement.
Trump’s visage says it all! Looking sideways at Bondi trump’s expression is pride & security, knowing full well that he literally holds the power of life, & death over her🧌
We just deserve to hear the truth...the end.
Bondi worked in the same DA office with Alex Acosta. Acosta negotiated the dirty deal for the felon on Epsteins behalf.
Save the Druze, please share. youtu.be/36HaC9mz3Fs?...
Great article…
Someone called her Corruption Barbie. I couldn't resist the satirical idea ~ #EPSTEIN #PEDOnald And... her matching Work Husband DOE 174, The Don
Boys reported rapes/torture/murder at the Marianna Fla Evangelical Bible Belt Boys Prison, along the Georgia/Alabama border. Did you know that Evangelical County Judges sent ORPHANS/MENTALLY ILL BOYS to the prison because counties had to pay for orphanages/mental hospitals, Florida paid for prisons.
Fla AG Pam Bondi REFUSED to prosecute guards/staff at Dozier Reform School who RAPED/TORTURED/MURDERED boys. In 2012, Dozier was sold to developers, horrified construction crews found almost boys 100 bodies. briankeithohara.blogspot.com/2016/12/sophie-and-hans-scholl-sometimes.html
It is quite simple.........they lack honor and integrity. MAGA is the Big Brother Government actual Republicans warned against.
Yes, why is DOJ botching the Epstein saga? Yep, it’s a real fucking head scratcher, why wouldn’t DOJ want all the information to get out there. Such a mystery.
One of the great mysteries of our time. Wish we had, I don’t know... some evidence. Files. Documents. Photos. Testimonies. Anything.
Or maybe, just spitballing, if only we had Epstein’s longtime #2 sitting in prison willing to tell everything she knows in return for a few years off her sentence. But alas.
Man, we'd be so lucky.
They have no clue who has or knows what. Who saw who or pics and vids. I would imagine some powerful people made sure it was just them with Epstein and the girls but that's no guarantee. Some may have specified no underage girls but evidence of that would only show they knew they were available.
The black book, which is the complete, unredacted version of Jeffrey Epstein’s Rolodex and notes, for anyone that wants to go through it all. joshwho.net/EpsteinList/...
Jack O’Donnell, former president of Trump Plaza, told CNN he once scolded Trump in the ’80s for bringing a 19-year-old into the casino with Jeffrey Epstein in the early morning hours.
They aren't its taco. He told them to act like it never existed.
Pam Blondi has to resign. She is so dumb.
This article gives much to much credence to the idea that Orange Shitler, Blonde Ambition, crazy eyes and the rest are embarrassed that their conspiracy nonsense would be exposed. They have no sense of shame. He is completely exposed as a predator and pedophile and that is the problem. Full stop
DOJ is botching it because DOJ is now populated with Trump lawyers, and judges all think they're dunces...
Because Trump and Bondi and so many more in this administration were involved in these crimes.
This whole regime is filled with incompetent idiots. And they are the most dangerous, because they think they know it all and can get away with anything.
A lot of AI software will be needed for Pam Bondi to erase any traces of Trump with underage girls!😉
There is only one scenario. Lets not be naive about this. Trying to normalize Trump/Bondi is another example of how the country ended up where it is.
She was in Florida, she knew what was going on. Thought abt her political career.
🎯
Deep State in WH goes deeper. Trump turning on his own Republicans. Release the Epstein Files. They are all involved-Trump,Vance, Bondi,Bongino and Patel.
Maxwell is getting ready to appeal her sentencing, said she did not get a fair trial and misconduct of the government. No one knows the deal Barr made with her. DOJ knew it and urged SCOTUS to reject appeal on Monday.
COLUMN: Why is the DOJ botching the Epstein saga? ANSWER: Cuz Dotard J Titanic is guilty of EVERYTHING he says he is not and the DOJ (Dept. of Jokes) is having a very hard time protecting the guilty. He 'smells like teen spirit'. And not in a good way. And he knows it. Very unbecoming of a Prez.
It would appear the AG's primary qualification for this job is being blonde.
He's revving up her bus, isn't he?
If there isn't direct evidence that Trump is a child molester, we know is guilty by omission. Trump knew what Epstein was up to, because he told us so. He said that Epstein "likes beautiful women and on the younger side"! They partied together and at least one minor was recruited from Mar-a-Lago.
trump admitted that he would walk in on under aged girls dressing rooms in one of his phony pageants. I don't need a list to know that donald trump is a pedophile.
LIES & COVER UP . . . 3 WORDS are SUFFICIENT!
Could be because they're incompetent, could it? Naw! They're just stupid👽
It’s a damned if you do & damned if you don’t situation. If the file is released, the people Bondi is trying to protect will be exposed. If the file isn’t released she will be called out as a liar for promising to release it. Either way, she looses & she deserves to.
I've got 3 scenarios for you: 1. Trump is guilty. 2. Trump is guilty. 3. Trump is guilty.
I’m starting to think the real pimp is Trump and Epstein was his sub-contractor. Why does Trump surround himself with underaged girls, sex offenders and traffickers? Release the Epstein files and the Mar A Lago guest books.
Mar-a-Lago plane logs (trump had a plane too) and employment logs (Epstein found at least some of his young girls working there first). While we're at it, let's find the unmarked graves at Epstein's Island. Where are the young boys?
It’s botched because Republicans/MAGA made a big deal of the Epstein list (“it’s on my desk”), and are now hiding it because, oopsies, Trump and other prominent Republicans are on the list.
This critique of the Justice Department should be required reading !!
This isn’t hard to figure out. Lots of MAGA pundits made a ton of money pushing Epstein theories, including Trump. Now they’re stuck either admitting it’s all one big lie, or ponying up the docs which happen to have Trump and a bunch of Republican donors in them. They can’t gaslight out of this one
Ummm,cause don the cons in it. End of story.
It's not that complicated, Trump told Bondi to kill it (like Epstein😐)- he didn't anticipate MAGA's obsession with the case. He thought if she said there's no conspiracy, they would just drop it.
There’s a fourth possibility and that is that it’s 100% real and the Trump administration is now using it to blackmail powerful people to back their fascist take over of the U.S.
Trump's preparing to throw her under the bus www.bbc.com/news/article...
Whatever is in the Epstein files and client lists is so damning to Trump that his puppet AG and the rest of his sycophants are jumping on the grenade to hide it. News flash: It isn’t working. #Felon47
Epstein is a loud but welcome distraction for the Trump admin. In the end, he can fondle sixth-graders on 5th Avenue and it’s not going to cost him a single red-hatted, lead-poisoning-addled supporter.

Fourth scenario. It’s biggly. Other associates of Trump are listed? Could a SCOTUS member be there? If you’re going Q Anon go full tilt. Space Lazars and Lizard People big.
MAGA reveals the depths it is willing to sink as it make a wrong in the "right". When trump pardoned the j6 un-americans, he now shows daily the underbelly of his weak-minded mentality and others he picked up on the way. Where is "what's an elon"? Hidding in the dark and dank halls of his mansions?
When do Sean Combs lawyers argue that he was the victim of a prosecutor with a track record of “malicious” prosecutions and then claim double jeopardy. You cannot discredit a prosecutor without reopening every prosecution they’ve handled
Because President Child Fucker said to quash it.
The DOJ needed to go after Epstein in order to charge the rest. They needed his videos and files for the subsequent cases. Why Maxwell was charged after him. Trump is absolutely in those files. It’s why he is freaking out. My suspicion: what’s in those files is worse than what we could imagine.
They would have destroyed them by now though I would think
I'm not sure there's anything worse than what I might imagine, sadly. If there is, I don't think I want to see it. Or even hear about it.
It is just one area of a giant web of trafficking That plague spreads out
But why the about face, after pushing for their release? Newly discovered files?
Because there wasn't an impending release. Before they were on the sidelines and they knew it was at a point where it wouldn't be released whether because they weren't ready or because they were working to close it. The best political move is make someone else torch it while advocating the release.
I really hope Biden's team made copies...
That's at least a very good guess!
the bullsh*t art of the sale isn’t always about the product — it’s the dance. You say you will, then you won’t. You dangle it, pull it back, then offer something entirely different. It’s not just selling — it’s theater with a closing clause. Distract, Distract
This is simple. TRUMP RAPED LITTLE GIRLS.
OK a *real* theory is that it’s not just him on there. There could be a whole host of GOP/other far-right figures on there, enough so that prosecution would kneecap or even ruin their agenda. There quite possibly could even be at least one SCOTUS justice on there
It’s confirmation that there is no peepee tape. As well as detailed descriptions of the contents, and location, of every one the many, many poopoo tapes.
The 4th is that Biden's DOJ found nothing on Trump after 4 years of investigating.
What’s it like to wear blinders all the time?
Trump is involved.
I think she over bleached her brain
We all KNOW THE ANSWER. DO SOMETHING!
The DOJ is now loyal to Trump,not justice.
Bondi was the Florida AG during his first "trial". Need we say more?
from a distance : I'd chose the 1st alternative.
Optics are INCREDIBLY bad. If nothing is self-incriminating in the files, why are they suddenly deflecting like insane, sending out obviously doctored footage, and 180ing on this like they didn't campaign on releasing the files? The only conclusion I can come to is that the files are incriminating.
They’re skeered ‘bout Traitor. They love their undeserved paychecks & titles.
Because they had many strategizing meetings to extricate and scrub Trump from the files. But couldn't come to agreements, and the children fought amongst themselves. Winner TBA.
After all the shit talking they did about America's intelligence agencies, and this is what they do with said agencies when in charge? lol. Even MAGA can see it, now.
because they're unqualified idiots?
If I were #MAGA, I would be throwing up...How could they vote for a man obsessed about little girls??? How are his Christian voters doing???Do they expect to go to heaven, after their own DOJ and FBI, pretend there was no #Epstein list at all??? Despite watching all those disgusting videos?
Trump does not want to release the files. He told his MAGA supporters that do not agree with him that he does not need them and that they are stupid. The chickens have come home to roost and after all Trump said he loves the poorly educated. Trump is now part of "The Deep State" that MAGA hates.
They’ll just blame the girls and be ok with it.
I feel there is a significant segment of MAGAt that would eagerly, super duper proud & happy, GIVE their pre-pubescent female spawn to dumpstink. No compensation other than the glory of “serving” combover caligula’s god-man-savior’s natural “needs”.
Because they do too
And by “botching” you mean covering up for Republicans elected officials who raped children?
I’ve raised 5 kids. Plain n simple Trump has been caught in deviant behavior and he ordered the cookie jar smashed and hauled away
Maybe it’s time to see how he reacts to accusations about little boys
Pam Bondi got her job by protecting Trump from a Florida investigation of Trump University's consumer fraud (after a $25,000 bribe) and is currently protecting him by withholding the Epstein list on which he's named. And not *just* the list. Thousands of thumb drives, hard drives, and video tapes.
The photo we've seen posted of the fireplace in Epstein's New York apartment was taken during a raid by the FBI in 2019. They collected a fuckton of evidence; thumb drives, hard drives, video tapes. Has it been viewed yet? Is it buried with Ivana? Has this evidence been destroyed by Bondi? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This photo. Yes, the orange shitstain admired his best friend and wanted to emulate him in every way. Including raping children.
Buried with Ivana sounds about right.
Because they don't serve justice or the country, they serve only trump.

This isn't rocket science. -- AG Bondi was in on the sweetheart deal that got Epstein out of jail _in the first place_ The same deal that promised Maxwell would not be prosecuted. -- AG Bondi's new boss is mentioned a thousand times in the Epstein files. And she knew that. It's her leverage.
This whole administration is just not ready for prime time.
Trump’s name is all over those files and he’s bidding time so they can be erased or redacted. Pussy bitch president
There's only one scenario, scumbag 47 is in it.
Yuuup — but you know the media can't say the actual truth. They'd get a spanking from their billionaire sugar daddies.
Yeah, I don't know why this article is mostly about ineptitude and "what happens if there's a real crisis?". We know they're all incompetent. It's irrelevant. The issue is having a rapist and pedophile in the White House. I normally respect Politico but they really dropped the ball here.
All republicans are either pedophiles or whores. There's your explanation.
Don't forget the warmongers and white supremacists.
Well said
Dig deeper stepped in doo doo Epstein bsky.app/profile/edhi...
They also said Maxwells dad never worked for mossad. Narrator: he worked for mossad.
So deep I have lost interest…if not busted back then nothing unless otherwise current criminal activity All seem to be working in respective govt
Client list or not, no doubt plenty of dirt on taco and he and his minions are following the Roy Cohn stonewall denial strategy. Not working so well with this one.
