Donald Trump has grown weary of defending Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of the Justice Department’s Jeffery Epstein files and wants her to take responsibility for cleaning up the mess, according to four people familiar with White House deliberations.
“One thing that’s been clear is his feelings about it,” one White House official told NBC News. “This now resides within the DOJ.”
The administration’s refusal to disclose the full contents of the government’s investigation into Epstein, who killed himself in jail while awaiting trial on charges of sex-trafficking minors in 2019, has caused a deep rift between Trump and significant elements of his MAGA base.
I wonder if she has enough conscience and self-respect left to just dump the whole dirty mess out to the public.
Yeah, probably not. It’s fun to imagine, though.
She is smart enough, probably, to know he will take her down with him. Either MAGA and the news get distracted with something else, she releases more documents with careful redactions of Trump and other prominent rightwingers, or she gets fired and replaced with someone willing to.
No she was involved with the Epstein shit back in Florida decades ago. She’s been involved in covering this shit up well before it got to this point.
You know who never had to “take responsibility for cleaning up the public relations mess” created by their crime boss raping little kids? The press secretary for every other President in US history!
She’s not his press secretary. It’s not your fault for thinking that though, given how much fucking time she spends in front of cameras defending trump. But that just helps you point even more. Why is half of this cabinet in the news dealing with scandals 24/7?
For the life of me, I can’t remember any cabinet member from this time last year except AG Garland and DOT secretary Buttigieg off the top of my head. I just looked it up and thought “oh yeah” when I saw Blinken and Yellen. I recognized Austin’s picture, but never would’ve been able to guess his name. I recognized nobody else.
Holy fuck, I miss having rational people in control. I was able to just deal with my own shit without worrying about total collapse. Fuck Biden and Harris for not taking the Israel concerns seriously enough, and fuck the people who withheld their vote over that to pave the way for what we have now. The options now seem to be basically either 1941 Germany or 476 Rome.
Cheer up, Charlie. We can still get lucky and only get 1346 London. Again.
I don’t think it’s her job to take the heat for hiding the fact that he raped kids.
That’s literally her job.
More accurate title:

Trump overheard telling Eric: “This is like losing your uncle Epstein all over again.”
