Bongino’s silence on X/Twitter on Bondi decision spoke volumes.if FBI is to recover its reputation, this obvious cover-up puts a wrench in same. he is not one to cave on matters of principle - ha!

If Kash is still one of the “good ones”, then it would be a lateral for him, no confirmation needed. Promote D.B. to FBI head - could be a bruiser of a confirmation but would work.

That’s it. I am done defending Bondi. She needs to resign. Guess she lost her nerve.

Members of the administration disagree with each other?

Shocking.

They should all be in lockstep like the Dems do.

I trust Axios about as much as I trust Zohran Mamdani to embrace capitalism and the Founding Fathers.

Bondi is doing a very good job so far.

She is getting a very bad rap on the media thing.

The entire Trump team was executing a full court media press in the early days of the administration to do a hard reset to impose Trump policies after the Biden disasters and anarchy. Bondi was not even the most overexposed member of the Trump Administration

Not sure what is going on with the Epstein issue, but the reality is that the country has worse problems. If Trump needs to burn political capitol on the past, I am more concerned with getting the corrupt elements of the FBI, the DOJ , our intelligence agencies and the administrative state under control

That's where the action is.

After 30 years of active cover up by previous administrations pursuing thirty year old events where records have been destroyed and that largely occurred out of the US jurisdiction and are time barred if there is jurisdiction the juice is just not worth the squeeze.

Look at what just happened in the miscarriage of justice in the Diddy case to see how badly these kinds of prosecutions involving disgusting sexual perversions engaged in by the powerful rich and famous people can go sideways

This is a very transactional, realpolitik course of action and probably dishonorable on a number of levels, but as Trump has said - the world is a nasty place.

I suspect Bondi is not happy with the situation, Patel is seriously pissed but will accept his marching orders. Bongino seems to have a very strong sense of honor and a brand built on that sense of honor so he may have serious problems.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Comms on this have been horrid.

To be honest I don’t want the list, I get why Trump doesn’t want to out people that may not have been involved with the kids.

What I DO want, however, is a very high communication task force with a # publicized of the # of agents on the task force to hunt down and end every single adult in the thousands of child porn tapes they say they have. It’s not just kids on those tapes - every one of those cretins need to be strung up.

I also want the now-grown kids who are getting money from the virgin islands settlement to be interviewed and asked to identify any and all of their tormentors so that their prosecutions can be sought.

I think James Comey’s daughter, SDNY Assistant Attorney Maurene, sabotaged Blondi and Kash on the Epstein paperwork.

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.

alex acosta had to resign as Labor Secretary because of Epstein.

Bondi should resign over how she had handled this including that asinine Binder PR stunt

Epstein issue is not on most people’s radar.

Lots of things not on people’s radar get loads of attention here.

Don’t let this site skew you balance.

Most people out their are not even thinking about Ukraine, Epstein, JFK or TWA-800.

Bondi is doing a great job keeping Trump’s agenda moving forward.

Trump is not going to stop winning to jump on your train.

This video (first hour) explains the Bondi issues very clearly:

There are lots of little details that have not been discussed on threads here.

Here is one big problem.

Earlier he said Epstein committed suicide.

That means he decided to lie in order to keep his job. The kind of decision each of us faces in our lives.

Now on Raw Story and another one.

Not that this means any of them are trustworthy.
