2025/08/05

2025/07/25

It is shaping up to be a difficult September for Attorney General Pam Bondi. Republican leaders in the House are going after information in the Epstein files. Files Bondi reportedly told Trump his name was featured in multiple times, but told the public there were no files to release. MAGA is losing confidence in Bondi and some GOP House members seem to be feeling the same way. Subpoenas are flying and the Epstein case and its bungling will likely carry past the House recess in August and continue

2025/07/24

In May, Trump was briefed and knew his name is all over the Epstein files. Since that briefing, the DOJ’s move has been to seal the evidence and keep the public in the dark. Attorney General Pam Bondi's deputy, Todd Blanche (Trump’s former defense attorney) are visiting with Ghislaine Maxwell — Epstein’s longtime co-conspirator — in prison. It would seem a deal is in the offing. Meanwhile, Trump distracts by raging at Obama, and Tulsi Gabbard happily tosses more gasoline on the conspiracy bonfires
