Pam's been rumored to be on the outs with Trump because she hasn't been successful in prosecuting his enemies' list so more likely than not she grabbed this chance to go public to get back into his good graces.

She was so over the top that she ended up making a mockery of herself as well as Trump.

Then there's this:
let the circular firing squad commence
"Nick Fuentes, the far-right podcaster, demanded she be impeached even before the meltdown. “Pam Bondi needs to be impeached. You lied about the existence of the files. You lied about unindicted collaborators and accomplices,” he said on his Feb. 9 Rumble show, America First.
“There are people that you acknowledge exist who are likely incriminated in the files that you said did not exist. You lied in the furtherance of a cover-up. Pam Bondi has to be impeached. Kash Patel has to be impeached,” he said.
He explored the topic in a show after the congressional tantrum. “Pam Bondi FOLDS In Senate Hearing,” said the title of the show..."

Her testimony was completely insane. Under normal circumstances a person who behaved that way in front of Congress would be found in contempt.

It is strange to me that she bothered to show up at all.

Total losses in the DOJ, depending on which parts, are around 20 to 30 percent so far overall.

As an example the FBI has lost at least 5000 personnel. Out of 13000-odd Agents and about 20000 staff.

With all the resignations and firings the DoJ is pretty much emptied out now. And because Bondi is focusing on Trump's political enemies list she is simply prioritizing. We were told that Bondi had to hire more lawyers to go thru the Epstein files, working tirelessly 24/7. Until they didn't.

I don't know. You are giving many DOJ employees who probably feel pretty alienated and angry an opportunity to do the Administration they dislike so intensely a mischief.

Late yesterday, Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice gave a big "f*** You!" in regards to the Epstein Files Transparency Act, basically saying, "You can't make us."
The U.S. Department of Justice told a federal court that it cannot be forced to release Epstein files or submit to an independent monitor in the closed criminal case of Ghislaine Maxwell, arguing the case is final and courts lack authority to compel new disclosures. Prosecutors opposed requests from lawmakers Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie to intervene and enforce the Epstein Files Transparency Act, saying the statute creates no individual right, no enforcement mechanism, and gives Congress no standing to litigate compliance.
So you can forget about ever seeing those files. And just think, if Trump actually wanted them released, he could just say so and they'd be released tomorrow.

Responding to a construction worker who calls out that he's a pedophile protector Trump gives him the finger and says F**k you.

An example of the redacting job that the DoJ has done backfiring. Because the DOGE boys cut off the Adobe subscription people have been able to cut and paste pages that are redacted which then deletes the black lines, making the original text viewable. So, in this case the example is obvious that the Epstein transparency act passed by Congress was NOT followed by the DoJ because it is Trump's name they are redacting.

DoJ announces they have another 5.2 million files to go through...400 more lawyers tasked with review & redact...Bondi is eerily quiet...Senate Judiciary sends letter to Susie Wiles asking how she got the access to the Epstein files that she revealed in her 11 Vanity Fair interviews.

The photos being dropped by the House today are pretty nauseating.

3 Fed'l judges have now ruled as of this morning to release the files.
A FOIA request has revealed that the FBI created training videos of how to identify and redact mentions of Trump. Their excuse? That there was no public interest...

Court orders Florida Grand Jury investigation released.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/202 ... -materials

“ A federal judge in Florida ordered the release of grand jury transcripts from the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell sex-trafficking cases on Friday, citing the recently enacted federal law that overrides traditional secrecy protections.

US district judge Rodney Smith ruled that the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law last month by Donald Trump, overrode federal rules prohibiting the disclosure of grand jury materials.”

The charges stemming from the abuse of the girls are not entirely settled, but the bank fraud, money laundering and collusion as well as obstruction are still in play.

The reality is any prosecutions are unlikely because of statute of limitations issues.

However, people in there can be exposed and then hopefully shunned. Kind of like what happened to Prince Andrew. And seems to be happening to Larry Summers. My understanding is that Steve Bannon and Bill Barr both feature prominently in the Epstein materials.

Trump has asked her to open an investigation into the Dems we've seen mentioned so far. Her response was that she'd make a decision within 30 (now closer to 25) days. She's been on a massive losing tour of all her court cases and had already publicly announced that she had reviewed files and found no reason to keep the initial investigation open, so she closed it.

There's enough in the public view already as well as in independent hands; Wolff, Epstein estate, France, US Virgin Islands to name a few that can punch the actors in the face via an investigation. Trump isn't out of the woods, he's in the middle of the woods.

If Bondi is bringing an investigation into play, she may not release the docs. using that excuse. Oh boy, won't people be pissed! I almost hope it happens.

Your name calling using Trump's labels is just that, neither are examples of people who have committed crimes. And, of course, your premise that nothing will happen via our judicial system so we should all just give Epstein a never mind, runs counter to your complaint that nothing ever gets done.

Actually, with the Epstein files journey things do happen; Epstein was put in jail, Maxwell is in jail, lawsuits brought by victims have resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements and Congress has just voted to bring more transparency by releasing the files. The only people not on board to get the Epstein files released and prosecutions and house cleaning to start are you MAGAs.

To be perfectly honest it does not matter who is on the list if the person mentioned has money nothing will come of it with the Judical system we have today, they'll buy their way out or just get a slap on the wrist, yea if they are political that carrer might be over but even that is doubtful looking at what happened after Shiffty Shiff and sleep with CCP spy Stalwell. But in all fairness must add they are both from Commiefornia.

And now MTG is announcing that she will be resigning from Congress in January. She's gotten a whole lot of death threats and the like since she supported the release of the Epstein files and broke from Trump.
