For years, the MAGA base has been demanding real accountability, not just for January 6th protestors or anti-Hillary meme posters, but for the actual predators and monsters who walk free among us under our broken, two-tier justice system.
One of the biggest demands from Trump’s America First supporters has been the truth around Jeffrey Epstein’s supposed client list. MAGA was promised sunlight on this issue. They were promised justice. And instead, many feel as if they’ve been gaslit, stalled, and handed recycled documents while the real power players skate free, without a care in the world.
From the very beginning, many believed Pam Bondi botched the Epstein rollout. MAGA supporters haven’t forgotten that awkward February stunt at the White House, where so-called “Epstein files” were handed out to conservative influencers. They were actually old files that turned out to be publicly available court records everyone had already seen. The base expected bombshells. What they got felt like a cover-up. It was an embarrassing moment for Bondi and the Trump administration.
Bondi even made the cover of the box look like some official classified documents.

People were furious.
The Vigilant Fox:
NEW: @Liz_Wheeler says Pam Bondi BRAGGED about personally making the cover of the Epstein Files binders before handing them out to influencers. Wheeler was one of those influencers, and now she’s furious. “That day in the White House, Pam Bondi bragged about making that cover sheet on the binder you’re showing on the screen. That cover sheet that reads, ‘The most transparent administration in history: Epstein Files, Phase One.’ She told us she made that. She printed it. She put it in that binder.” Bondi worked hard to make the cover look like an exposé but put in no effort to actually do one.
But things actually got worse for Pam.
After that stunt fell flat, Bondi said officials were poring over a supposed truckload of previously withheld evidence she said had been handed over by the FBI. In a March TV interview, she claimed the Biden administration “sat on these documents; no one did anything with them.” She then went on to say the following: “Sadly these people don’t believe in transparency, but I think more unfortunately, I think a lot of them don’t believe in honesty.”
Pam was digging herself a hole that she may never get out of… because now, after months of Pam’s hype and speculation, the DOJ has released a memo that’s ignited a political firestorm, claiming there is no Epstein list and there will be no further disclosures. The End.
What?
AP:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Jeffrey Epstein did not maintain a “client list,” the Justice Department acknowledged Monday as it said no more files related to the wealthy financier’s sex trafficking investigation would be made public despite promises from Attorney General Pam Bondi that had raised the expectations of conservative influencers and conspiracy theorists.
The acknowledgment that the well-connected Epstein did not have a list of clients to whom underage girls were trafficked represents a public walk-back of a theory that the Trump administration had helped promote, with Bondi suggesting in a Fox News interview earlier this year that such a document was “sitting on my desk” for review. Even as it released video from inside a New York jail meant to definitively prove that Epstein killed himself, the department also said in a memo that it was refusing to disclose other evidence investigators had collected.
Bondi for weeks had suggested more material was going to be revealed — “It’s a new administration and everything is going to come out to the public,” she said at one point — after a first document dump she had hyped angered President Donald Trump’s base by failing to deliver revelations.
The backlash inside the MAGA movement has been fast and furious. People want answers and are not taking this latest stunt sitting down.
It’s gotten so bad that, according to investigative reporter Laura Loomer, the anger is boiling over inside the Trump administration. According to Loomer, Kash Patel and Dan Bongino are absolutely livid with Pam Bondi, and the damage she’s caused is serious enough that some want her gone.
Laura Loomer:
SCOOP: @FBIDirectorKash and @dbongino are LIVID with @AGPamBondi over her DOJ Memo and the lack of transparency from her office regarding the Jeffery Epstein files.
Source tells me Dan Bongino is taking the day off today from his job as Deputy Director of the FBI, and there’s now speculation on whether or not he will return to his job at the @FBI over his disgust with Blondi’s lack of transparency and handling of the Epstein files.
Pam Blondi has brought total embarrassment to President Trump, @JDVance, @dbongino and @Kash_Patel. She has also LIED to the American people.
I’m told Kash and Bongino are furious with Blondi and the blowback she has caused them with her lack of transparency.
Kash Patel and Dan Bongino should call for Blondi’s public resignation today to save themselves and to also push for full transparency into the Epstein files.
This is an issue the American people care deeply about.
Someone needs to be fired for this. Giving Blondi courtesy to resign is more than she deserves.
Trump should just FIRE her.
That’s some heavy-duty stuff, if true.
Adding another layer to this already convoluted story, Bill O’Reilly recently said that President Trump gave him a direct reason for not disclosing Epstein-related names. According to O’Reilly, Trump said he didn’t want innocent people, like a golf buddy or casual acquaintance, dragged through the mud just for appearing on a list, without context.
Image
This is a powder keg issue and one of the biggest that President Trump has faced since he’s been in office.
But the bottom line is this: the American people deserve to know what really happened. We were promised transparency, and more importantly, we were promised justice. If we want a country where citizens respect their leaders, then morality matters. Crimes against children matter. And if there are names on that list of people who did nothing wrong, then fine… put it into context and release the thing.
Don’t bury the truth. Let the chips fall where they may.
Now we want to hear from you: Should Pam Bondi be fired over this mess? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
UPDATE:
This story is heating up and spreading like wildfire. Now, Axios is also reporting the same story, claiming they have two sources who’ve corroborated Bongino’s ire with Pam Bondi and the handling of the Epstein files.
Axios:
FBI deputy director Dan Bongino took a day off from work Friday after clashing at the White House with Attorney General Pam Bondi over their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, four sources familiar with the conflict told Axios.
Why it matters: The dispute erupted Wednesday amid the fallout of the administration walking back its claims about Epstein by determining the convicted sex offender didn’t have a celebrity “client list,” and that he wasn’t murdered in his New York City prison cell in 2019.
Bongino didn’t come to work Friday, leading some insiders to believe he had quit. But administration officials say he’s still on the job, even as the internal tension over the Epstein case continues. Zoom in: At the center of the argument: a surveillance video from outside of Epstein’s cell that the administration released, saying it was proof no one had entered the room before he killed himself.
The 10-hour video had what has widely been called a “missing minute,” fueling conspiracy theories in MAGA’s online world about a cover-up involving Epstein’s death.
The “missing minute,” authorities say, stemmed from an old surveillance recording system that goes down each day at midnight to reset and record anew. It takes a minute for that process to occur, which effectively means that 60 seconds of every day aren’t recorded.
Bongino — who had pushed Epstein conspiracy theories as a MAGA-friendly podcast host before President Trump appointed him to help lead the FBI — had found the video and touted it publicly and privately as proof that Epstein actually hadn’t been murdered. That conclusion — shared by FBI Director Kash Patel, another conspiracy theorist-turned-insider — angered many in Trump’s MAGA base, criticism that increased after Axios first reported the release of the video and a related memo.
After the video’s “missing minute” was discovered, Bongino was blamed internally for the oversight, according to three sources.
Two sources familiar with Bongino’s position say he was increasingly displeased with Bondi’s handling of the Epstein case because she had publicly overpromised and underdelivered disclosures about an Epstein “client list” that apparently never existed.
As the Epstein scandal backlash grows bigger and louder, Laura Loomer just dropped yet another thread exposing even more behind-the-scenes chaos. This time she’s accusing Pam Bondi of actively blocking the FBI from releasing more Epstein-related files.
It all started when Laura responded to this X post from Todd Blanche, the Deputy Attorney General under Pam Bondi.
I worked closely with @FBIDirectorKash and @FBIDDBongino on the joint FBI and DOJ memo regarding the Epstein Files. All of us signed off on the contents of the memo and the conclusions stated in the memo. The suggestion by anyone that there was any daylight between the FBI and DOJ leadership on this memo’s composition and release is patently false.
https://twitter.com/DAGToddBlanche/status/1943688090469499282
Laura Loomer:
How come nobody signed their name to the memo? @DAGToddBlanche
My sources tell me that the FBI wanted to release more information about Jeffrey Epstein, and Pam Blondi @AGPamBondi and her DOJ said NO. This has caused tension between Blondi, Kash, and Bongino.
Asking for transparency isn’t difficult.
Blondi is literally blowing up the Trump admin by concealing information, spending time on Fox News lying to MAGA base and by releasing contradictory statements.
There is information that can be released that the public wants to see.
Why was the Memo released on a Sunday night on 4th of July weekend with no official signage and no names of any admin officials?
You only release memos on Sunday evening on holiday weekends when you don’t want anyone paying attention to the contents.
Trump’s team needs to READ THE ROOM.
Blondi has been very DAMAGING to the admin and she has damaged public trust in the DOJ.
She is hurting President Trump and his staff/advisors.
She lied on national TV and needs to be held accountable for harming the Trump admin and public trust.

Stay tuned, folks. Something tells us this story’s far from over.
I want to see evidence.
We can draw our own conclusions.
“Bongino doesn’t need any of this stuff. ... If he resigned over this, his stock would rise.”
For sure. And the sooner the better. And make clear statements about his reason(s). He hasn’t been there very long so maybe he can resurrect his career, and reconcile with his wife.
It’ll take a little while, but he can probably blow the DC stink off.
Can’t be much going on Trump took his wire with him.
Yes the timing of his visit suspiciously coincided with this press conference saying the Epstein matter was now closed. Not saying Netanyahu was on the list but rather that Mossad was one of the intelligence agencies involved.
“Loomer, Patel, Bongino, Bondi, nwrep. Talk about a low IQ crowd!”
You left yourself out. I fixed it for you.
Best friends? LOL. You are trying too hard in your attacks on Trump. And good job at trying to make it sound like Trump flew off to Epstein’s island via innuendo, when there is zero evidence he did.
And of course I already addressed your weak argument about Dems on the list in my original reply. It’s silly to think they couldn’t have simply had the Atlantic, or Axios, or WaPo, or NYT run with a story about Trump, conveniently leaving out any mention of Dems. Or even tried to prosecute just him if they thought there was evidence and kept the evidence sealed to protect other people they didn’t want prosecuted.
You're talking about an important pillar of the Trump administration....would you care to elaborate?
Then the rich and powerful are stupid. How did they get rich and powerful?
That “evidence “ disappeared 20 years ago
There’s no bombshell in there that’s going to nail a Swamp Creature. We can’t even get a real answer about JFK 60 years later
I don’t believe President Trump would Bondi go rogue - she’s saying what he wants her to say.
So that leaves two possibilities: What she’s saying is true, or she’s hiding something and President Trump wants it that way.
I think it’s a combination:
1) There are thousands of hours of child-porn video, but while the identities of the pedophiles are hidden - they do expose the victims’ faces - in which case releasing it to the public would bring no justice or accountability - only added pain, suffering and humiliation to the victims. Bondi: “This is nothing but disgusting child porn and will never see the light of day”.
2) There are lists of Epstein contacts, associates and even clients, but does anyone really believe there would have been a list called “Epstein’s pedophilia clients”? Of course not, so releasing these lists to the public - just as with the videos - brings no justice or accountability - only the guarantee of damage to any innocent parties who had associations with Epstein - who will now be “guilty by association”.
3) I think the explanation for the bungled big promises and backtracking is this: when Biden was in the White House, it was good politics for candidate Trump to say -“release everything, expose the coverups and corruption”.
As soon as he got back in the White House, the hyperbole was replaced with a sober evaluation of pros and cons… collateral damage.. revealing sources and methods… and an honest assessment of what evidence they actually had.
I’m a huge fan of President Trump, and I think he’s WAY above average in keeping his promises. But everyone makes campaign promises they can’t keep.
Remember - he was going to end the Unraine war on day one.. I don’t blame him for not being able to do it - my point is that when you get into the trenches, only then do you learn what your options are.
Attorneys working on a current Epstein estate case (yes there still is one) say there is plenty of evidence of all kinds still alive and well:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cykkvQJ45R4
What good would firing Bondi do? None. She’d be replaced by another person that would just go along with the coverup. This is rotten to the core. It is a wealthy elitist child trafficking ring and these powerful people will not let it and themselves be exposed.
I don’t there are thousands of hours of child porn videos.
Teenagers—maybe—but there have been lots of Epstein cases over the years and none of them mentioned child porn.
Imho Bondi is lying to make herself sound more important.
President Trump will figure it out—and fire her—and then the real investigation of whatever is in the Epstein files can begin.
Epstein is on tape saying of Trump: “I was Donald’s closest friend for 10 years.”

Trump said of Epstein: “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump booms from a speakerphone. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”
https://www.yahoo.com/news/fact-check-trump-once-calling-233000593.html
Well since no evidence is ever going to see the light of day, prepare to be denied any thrill.
I wish Trump would fire her ass.
“Teenagers—maybe—but there have been lots of Epstein cases over the years and none of them mentioned child porn.“
If they aren’t pedophiles, then there’s no pedophile clients - which means no pedo client list.
So then why should Bondi resign?
If there were any evidence that Trump raped a child, or anything even close to something like that, ANY evidence of such...he would have never gotten past the first (R) debate in 2015. Don't ever forget, he was the ultimate outsider who had effectively ZERO political influence or backing in the swamp known as D.C.
Leftist FBI/"intel" - Hey Soebarkah/Hillary/DNC, we have proof Trump raped children.
Soebarkah/Hillary/DNC - No, don't leak it yet. Trump won't go anywhere. He's a political nobody with no real connections in D.C.
Leftist FBI/"intel" - Hey Soebarkah/Hillary/DNC, how did Trump beat all those candidates...and the next in line Bush dynasty? Wow. Anyway, we have proof Trump raped children. Should we release the tapes now?
Soebarkah/Hillary/DNC - No, don't leak it yet. Trump can't beat Hillary. Instead, let's start an elaborate deep state op against his campaign. Afterall, this would be far easier, and much less expensive to do than simply release a video tape or pictures.
Leftist FBI/"intel" - Hey Soebarkah/Hillary/DNC, we still have that proof Trump raped children. Should we release the tapes now that Trump beat Hillary?
Soebarkah/Hillary/DNC - No, don't leak it yet. While it sucks that Trump beat Hillary on election night, we'll make sure the Congress doesn't certify his election because of the active deep state op we have against him. This is still the much easier way to destroy Trump.
Leftist FBI/"intel" - Hey Soebarkah/Hillary/DNC, we still have that proof Trump raped children. Should we release the tapes now that Trump was sworn in as President?
Soebarkah/Hillary/DNC - No, don't leak it yet. We can't believe Trump is actually President, but don't worry...all the deep state op's against him and the non-stop bad press will cause him to step down vis-a-vie Nixon.
Leftist FBI/"intel" - Hey Soebarkah/Hillary/DNC, that proof Trump raped children is just sitting on our desk. It looks like Trump is fighting back. Now is the time to release the incriminating evidence?
Soebarkah/Hillary/DNC - No, not yet. We still believe the easier path to continue to gin up fake news stories about Trump to get him to resign.
Leftist FBI/"intel" - Hey Soebarkah/Hillary/DNC, looks like Trump is surviving all of our attacks against him. He may be tied up politically to get much done, but he remains. We recommend releasing the evidence now.
Soebarkah/Hillary/DNC - No, not yet. Keep your powder dry. We've got other tricks up our sleeve that will be more effective at getting rid of him. We going to impeach him. That should do it.
Leftist FBI/"intel" - Hey Soebarkah/Hillary/DNC, looks like Trump is surviving the impeachment you threw at him. Let's just release the video of Trump raping a child and get this over with. We need him out of office now.
Soebarkah/Hillary/DNC - That's a negative. Do not release the pictures, or the tapes of Trump raping children. We're going to impeach him again. This time, it will work to remove him from office. Trust us.
Leftist FBI/"intel" - Hey Soebarkah/Hillary/DNC, the second impeachment hasn't cause Trump to leave office. Our backers are getting a little pissed off teflon Don is 'getting away' with it. We're going to release the evidence whether you like it or not.
Soebarkah/Hillary/DNC - No you’re not, don't even think of it. We know things...and people. Do not release the 8k video evidence of Trump gang raping children. We've got this under control, we're going to institute a 'summer of love' all across the country to show Trump cannot keep law and order. This will be his un-doing!
Leftist FBI/"intel" - Hey Soebarkah/Hillary/DNC, most of America is pissed off at the rioters & local (D) politicians, and not Trump. This isn't working. Let us release the videos!
Soebarkah/Hillary/DNC - No, now is not the time. We have an amazing plan that is sure to work. We're going to foment fear about a virus we co-engineered with the chicoms to create an environment where we can steal the election by massive mail in vote fraud.
Leftist FBI/"intel" - Hey Soebarkah/Hillary/DNC, now THAT was amazing. We bend the knee at your superior intellect and ability to get this done. Thank goodness Trump is out of the picture and we can get back to fleecing America.
Soebarkah/Hillary/DNC - On crap! Trump is talking about running again. Geez, will this guy just not go away? Don't worry though, we know what to do. We'll gin up various charges and continue to use lawfare to go after him. We'll put him in prison for life because Mar-a-largo is only worth 18 million.
Leftist FBI/"intel" - Hey Soebarkah/Hillary/DNC, looks like he's beating the lawfare. The American people see right through our marxism. We still have those videos of Trump raping children. Now is the time to finally release the evidence!
Soebarkah/Hillary/DNC - No, do not release the evidence that would actually put Trump in prison. We have a much better idea. We'll have him killed at one of his rally's.
Leftist FBI/"intel" - Hey Soebarkah/Hillary/DNC, looks like the plan to eliminate Trump once and for all didn't work. In fact, his iconic 'fight, fight, fight' seems to have really rallied not only his base, but many others who don't traditionally vote (R). We can't wait any longer, the damning evidence against Trump must be allowed to see the light of day!
Soebarkah/Hillary/DNC - No, no release of the evidence. We'll try another time to have him killed. This time, on his turf. Releasing the video evidence and all those pictures is just far more difficult and far more expensive to do.
Leftist FBI/"intel" - Hey Soebarkah/Hillary/DNC, our plans were foiled. Now what? We've tried everything to get rid of him. What now? What there left to try? Why not just release the evidence of Trump raping children?
Soebarkah/Hillary/DNC - No, not yet. We have a better idea than simply releasing the tapes of Trump raping children. We'll run Kamala for President! The American people will love this idea! We'll defeat Trump 2.0 at the ballot box...and maybe a little cheating here and there.
Leftist FBI/"intel" - Hey Soebarkah/Hillary/DNC - YOU SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO US!!! ALL WE HAD TO DO WAS SIMPLY RELEASE THE HIGH-DEF IMAGES AND VIDEO OF TRUMP RAPING CHILDREN. NOW, TRUMP 2.0 IS PISSED OFF AND DISMANTELING OUR OP's AGAINST THE COUNTRY AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Before we get there—I will try to use the minimal influence I have to persuade him to fire her—for the good of the country and the administration.
The stakes are high.
We should try to make this a win win.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
so who you gonna replace her with? Matt Gaetz?
Bondi should be fired because she is an attention seeking self promoting lying jerk who is opposed to transparency and accountability even though she claims she supports it.
