Poor Pam Bondi. Early in her one-year tenure as U.S. Attorney General, she told the media that she had the files on alleged pedophile Jeffrey Epstein “sitting on my desk,” hinting that they would soon be released to the public. Oh, my, and “Whoa, Nellie!” The Democrats had a field day with that one.
The fiends running the party of Andrew Jackson seized on that comment and topic immediately. Soon, all anyone in the press could talk about was Jeffrey Epstein and why the Trump administration was hiding the files on his past deeds. Of course, the real target was President Trump, and the goal was to show that he partook of underage female offerings served up by Trump’s late billionaire friend Epstein.
Congress finally passed a bill demanding the release of the Epstein files. Trump signed it, and millions of documents were released, but the ones with Trump in them were either highly redacted or outright withheld.
Anyway, l’affaire Epstein was strike one and two against Bondi. The third fatal blow came when she failed to expedite — and ensure the success of — Trump’s revenge tour against those who had gone after him with all their legal guns blazing. Bondi tried to indict some, but judges and grand juries tabled the cases.
Judgment Day arrived today, as Trump removed Bondi from her post. On social media, he wrote:
“Pam Bondi is a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my Attorney General over the past year…. We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future, and our Deputy Attorney General, and a very talented and respected Legal Mind, Todd Blanche, will step in to serve as Acting Attorney General.”
No new fed post for the outgoing AG, and no love lost on Trump’s part, evidently.
