You, and your conspiracy theory friends, are saying every State AG was told to stand down.

There's no evidence, zip, that Pam Bondi as AG of Florida ever investigated Epstein's crimes in Florida. Zero. Why is that? He was right there running his operation right under her nose. She was AG for 8 years! Either she stood down, or failed at the job, which is it?

It’s because she was too busy prosecuting George Zimmerman for killing poor widdle Trayvon Martin, innocent Skittles-eating child.

Epstein was convicted in Florida in 2008, before Bondi. Did the State AG in New York, where Epstein lived, ever do anything in the last 20 years? Why do you conspiracy theorists focus only on AG Bondi? What did Garland ever do? What did obammys DOJ ever do? President Trump was able to arrest both Epstein and Maxwell while his own FBI, CIA and DOJ were trying to destroy him. They didn’t want Epstein in jail, they wanted Trump in jail.

Then Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi deferred to the Feds, a sensible decision as the Epstein case involved interstate and foreign commerce, which is Federal jurisdiction. During the first Epstein arrest in 2006, Charlie Crist, later Florida governor, was the state attorney general and, like Bondi, deferred to the Feds. Keep in mind that most of Epstein's "business" activities took place in New York, New Mexico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Paris, France.

While not defending Bondi's actions as U.S. Attorney General, her decision and that of her predecessor to let the Feds deal with this matter make sense.
