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.

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.

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.
In Florida, Attorney General is an elected, and therefore political, office.
She was a politician with an (R) after her name. ...............
Will you accept Trumps decision if he keeps her on?
It’s his call, and his call alone
Joe Biden would have used it against Trump.
Various rumors about Dan. He has quit. Ready to quit. Wanted more info out and Bondi refused. he hasnt been there since Wednesday etc.
If trump sides with Bondi I think Dan leaves. This is sort of like a bridge too far which also happened to Musk. I think Patel continues on even though he might be mad
I still dont understand why she just wont release EVERYTHING..what harm does it do her..just release what you have, if its new info, if its old info who cares, just release it and thats it..dont just say “Oh nothing more to see here moving on” this is hurting her, it makes it look like she’s hiding something..then the next day the Comey and Brennan being under investigation, yeah Im thrilled but I doubt it amounts to anything but it was more like “Here maga base, we threw you a bone happy now now forget about Epstein” that is how it appeared to me
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.
It was clear that Bondi was mishandling this whole issue when she pulled the binder stunt. She clearly was treating the issue like a publicity stunt and doing so without even doing her research. She should have known that material had already been released and that it didn’t have revelations in it; yet she blew it up as a big deal for publicity, dragging in a bunch of online influencers.
And maybe even worse, she replied in the affirmative to a question about the “client list,” even though she made it clear she hadn’t even looked at the files yet and I believe it’s pretty obvious she just meant that silly binder she gave the influencers. Now she’s convinced a lot of people that a client list (still?) exists because of that carelessness, while let’s face it why would Epstein have been foolish enough to create a crimes list and why would people in the gov covering up for anyone who might be on the list keep it to incriminate themselves?
There’s no way she should have been speaking on this subject and trying to gin up publicity from it until she had thoroughly reviewed all the available documents and evidence and determined if there was any prosecutable incriminating evidence left in the files and if there really was a list of actual clients and not just people’s names that happened to be in his documents. Now after a few months of a significant FBI search into the documents and footage with multiple agents assigned to it, she comes out with a take that of course was going to be seen as suspicious because of her early comments. She’s needlessly hurt Trump with this. It’s almost like she was trying to stir up a whirlwind of conspiracy theories and resentments over this (though I think it was just incompetence personally).
😂 the two eunuchs are mad at their boss. 😂
“Bondi was also part of the plea deal for Epstein in FL.”
That’s a nugget I’ve not heard in the multiple discussions on podcasts of recent days. I think that gives further context & weight to the dismissal of Bondi being the only outcome to hold the MAGA coalition together.
Loomer is annoying and weird, but she has a much better track record for truth telling than Barbie does.
The only one who can make sense of this is Alex Jones. He thinks that the Trump/DoJ got some concessions from the deep state to get some of their agenda. So they had to make it credible that they were going to prosecute this which explains the public information that was released.
Good post.
Re Bondi looking like a moron...notice that Trump cut Bondi off not once, but twice, and said Epstein was a “waste of time” so obviously that was telling her to cut it off. Bondi didn’t take the hint and started re-parsing her previous statements to John Roberts. Most people are bright enough to take a strong hint from their boss.
But to your point that Trump can simply demand she release everything, that is something very fundamental to this whole scandal that is being overlooked. He can call all three in and get them on the same page, which is probably Step #1 in terms of managing this mess.
If Trump were on an actual “client” list or there was any evidence he did anything illegal, it would have been out there ages and ages and ages ago. Don’t you think it’s a certainty that Obama would have used that against Trump in 2016 or Biden would have used it in 2024, if somehow that were true? They convicted him of a paperwork error that they pretended was multiple felonies. If they had something like that in their files, it would have been turned into one of the biggest political scandals ever. (And let’s not pretend they couldn’t have simply released the files—or certainly leaked the files to the media—on just Trump, conveniently leaving out Dems.)
Talk about delusions...
And that the release of info would virtually gut the EU and other governments.
People like the kings and prime ministers of places like England, Spain and France...
All of this is silly. MSNBC and CNN are enjoying every minute of it.
The fallacy is that this “list” was talked about so much prior to the election, people actually believed one really existed. As if Jeffry wrote down everyone’s name who hooked up with some teen. (that seems really odd to do) To date, only Prince Andrew, Maxwell, and Epstein himself are accused directly of some kinky hookup by a victim. Others - including Dershoitz- have only been named as flying on a plane or going to one of his properties. And Dershoitz just happened to be shooting his mouth off now about a list. I personally don’t believe there ever was a list, nor do I think Epstein farmed out teens to everyone. No one can convince me that with all the people who he knew, not one person saw some teen hookup and thought about turning him in, or blackmailing him.
Bondi wasn’t succinct in an answer which resulted in some firestorm from those that don’t like her, Trump, and those who have convinced themselves there was a list. If only people got this upset over other things.
In the last two weeks, we’ve heard coverup, cover up with Bongino and Patel, coverup from Bondi, Epstein was working for Mossad, or CIA.
Next thing we will hear is there is a server in Germany with uploaded pdf images of the perps, and it’s being raided.
In the past “ministers” would resign if their honor was questioned.
Bongino doesn’t need any of this stuff. He had a good career and a strong following before he went back to government. If he resigned over this, his stock would rise.
Disagreement with a policy is an acceptable reason for resignation.
“he had every room wired for video, “
Even bedrooms and bathrooms, per Virginia G. IIRC, they were “pinhole” cameras that guests weren’t aware of.
“what harm does it do her”
I think I answered it.
Imho she has made false statements about the Epstein files.
—She keeps saying “child porn”, for example. I don’t think that is what is in the files. There may be teenagers—but I don’t think there are children in there.
I am only speculating about what other false statements she may have made—since of course I don’t know what is in the files.
The President spoke very highly about several of them and then was about to move on to another topic.
Bondi was in the back of the room. She shouted out “What about me, Mr. President? What about me?”
That is off the charts unprofessional. This is what we are dealing with here—not ready for prime time.
What if Trump was on the list, but also prominent Democrats, like maybe Bill Clinton? Then what would Biden do?
