No one cares about Epstein?  Please, yes, let Bondi do her darn job!!  Trump now owns this cover up!

Trump defends embattled AG Pam Bondi, says 'nobody cares about' Jeffrey Epstein

President Donald Trump on Saturday defended Attorney General Pam Bondi as doing a "fantastic job" after she came under fire from some Trump supporters over the Department of Justice’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

"What's going on with my ‘boys’ and, in some cases, ‘gals?' They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a fantastic job," Trump wrote in a lengthy post on Truth Social on Saturday. "We’re on one team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening."

He continued to question why people were "giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden administration." 

"LET PAM BONDI DO HER JOB — SHE’S GREAT! The 2020 Election was Rigged and Stolen, and they tried to do the same thing in 2024 — That’s what she is looking into as AG, and much more. One year ago our Country was DEAD, now it’s the "HOTTEST" Country anywhere in the World. Let’s keep it that way, and not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about."................

Trump certainly knows how to pick competent AG's.

How do you answer this ⬆️  @libertybele ??

[corbe]

   MAGA has new marching orders, the new directive has been written.

[verga]

What progress? Pelosi, Schumer, and the rest of the hateful eight have not been charged with anything.

ALL the files were written by Obama, Hillary, etc.?  How about releasing the files to prove their involvement and Bondi start questioning them instead of side stepping this issue? Trump is the one that told us that the Epstein files would be released.  Bondi announced that they were on her desk and then became angered when she realized she didn't have ALL the files and ordered Patel to have them on her desk by morning. 

So ... we just give ole Barry, Bubba and Hillary a free pass? 

[corbe]

   Perhaps Trump is using the list for the same reason Epstein created it ~ except were not seeing the results yet?

[Right_in_Virginia]

Well, kicking out the AG and not getting a replacement through the Senate sure will help move your dream into reality.  You are genius!!

[roamer_1]

I am surprised you thought it'd be any different. 

[libertybele]

Why are you destroying this woman and stopping all forward motion in the DOJ over Epstein??

She's destroying herself.  What progress or forward motion has she made in the DOJ over Esptein?

This would be such an issue had Trump not stated that he was going to release the files and Bondi commenting that she had the files and was going to release them.

So, we're just supposed to sit back now and pretend along with DJT and Bondi that what happened on Epstein's Island and those involved should no longer be an issue?

   NO @Timber Rattler
   He has campaigned 3 times on bringing these people to Justice.  So far in 4 1/2 years of the Trump Administration has 1 politician been arrested for corruption, rep or dem?

[Timber Rattler]

That's a very condescending message from Trump...so he's saying now that the Epstein files are NOT real, because they were supposedly written by the Democrat big wigs?

Here's some news for Trump...Epstein was arrested and died in 2019, nearly THREE years into HIS first term.

He might want to be careful about opening that can of worms.

[Timber Rattler]

   NO @Timber Rattler
   He has campaigned 3 times on bringing these people to Justice.

Right!  But yet here is Trump pretty much ordering his supporters to stand down on Epstein for reasons unknown, claiming that it's no big deal now.  That stinks!

So far in 4 1/2 years of the Trump Administration has 1 politician been arrested for corruption, rep or dem?

Nope.  Just empty claims of never ending investigations.

Let's assume it's true that Epstein was running a blackmail ring using underage girls to lure in rich and powerful men and use pedophilia tapes for blackmail.  Let's also assume the CIA and Mossad were working and protecting this ring for their own purposes.

What do we do about it now?  The last known victim of this atrocity recently killed herself --- 25 years after becoming involved with the Epstein ring, and 25 years ago Epstein's hell had already been active for years.

What are the calls for action trying to accomplish?  Realistically:  No one's going to indict the CIA or Mossad. The ringleader and appointed mastermind of the ring is dead and his right hand is in prison.  So, do you prosecute this one pedophile at a time?  Charges would be over 25 years old.  Evidence has been tampered with by the Obama and Biden administrations. Jurisdiction would be an issue with most acts occurring outside the US, both witnesses and victims would be hostile and uncooperative.

How much time, energy, focus and oxygen do we allow to be sucked out of the work on fixing immigration, the economy, trade, education, wokeism, global unrest and upcoming political races -- in exchange for nothing more than salacious headlines?

Oh, so there ARE files now but they are "untrustworthy."  How about releasing them and letting the public be the judge of that.   

Is Charlie Kirk really THAT stupid?

So what about those thousands of child porn videos that was supposedly in the FBI NY Field Office that Bondi got so mad about?  Do those kids not count?

No one cares about Epstein? 

Where were you 20 years ago @libertybele  I This was big news in Florida.  Did you write your governor, Congressional representatives and newspapers demanding Epstein not be given a "deal of the century"?  Did you promise not to rest until President Bush's DOJ fixed this?!

Who do *you* think was paying Epstein's legal fees ... the CIA or Mossad?

[Timeline begins in 2005]

2006

July 19 - Grand jury indicts Epstein on a single solicitation of prostitution charge
Prosecutor Lanna Belohlavek presents the case to a grand jury with only one victim testifying. Belohlavek attacks the 14-year-old's credibility with her MySpace pages given to prosecutors by the defense.

The grand jury indicts Epstein on a felony charge of solicitation of prostitution — what a "john" propositioning an adult sex worker might face. The charge doesn't address the 14-year-old's age.

July 23 - Epstein arrested
Epstein spends one night in the Palm Beach County Jail. He is released the next day on $3,000 bond.

2007 - Negotiating the secret deal not to prosecute Epstein

Sept. 24 - "Deal of the century" is signed
Epstein signs what became known as the non-prosecution agreement, called the "deal of the century," with federal and state authorities in exchange for pleading guilty to two felony prostitution-related charges under Krischer. The deal requires Epstein to register as a sex offender. It also protects four named co-conspirators as well as any potential co-conspirators. Then the real negotiation begins among Krischer, federal prosecutors and Epstein's lawyers. Chief federal prosecutor Villafana stands ready several times to launch a 6- count federal indictment that came from a federal grand jury investigation.

2008 - Epstein pleads guilty, goes to jail

June 30 - Epstein pleads guilty to two felonies
Epstein pleads guilty to the grand jury's charge of solicitation of prostitution and Krischer's charge of solicitation of a minor for prostitution. Instead of potential decades in federal prison, he’s sentenced to 18 months in jail. He would serve 13 months of his sentence in a private wing of the Palm Beach County jail reserved for snitches or others who need protection from other inmates for various reasons, such as having a lot of money.

He would spend mainly nights there, leaving on work release six days a week/12 hours a day. One woman said later that she was flown in to have sex with him at the offices of a foundation he'd formed months before his guilty plea.

2009 - Epstein out of jail.

July 22 - He can travel anywhere if he's back in 24 hours
Epstein is released from jail to spend a year on house arrest but he is allowed to travel frequently — such as to his private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands — as long as he's back in 24 hours. His lawyers ask to end house arrest early, a request rejected by Krischer’s successor, Michael McAuliffe. A few potential violations of house arrest are documented in state attorney's files, but no one takes action. A violation could have sent Epstein back to jail.

2019 - New York prosecutors charge Epstein with sex trafficking

July 6 - Epstein arrested in New Jersey
New York prosecutors charge him with sex trafficking, related to incidents in Palm Beach and New York. He's arrested at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey, reportedly a hub of his sex trafficking network, after flying in from Paris. In a nationally televised news conference, former U.S. Attorney and Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta blames Krischer for bungling the case. Acosta later resigns.

Aug. 10 - Epstein found dead
The financier is found hanged in a Manhattan jail cell. The medical examiner rules it a suicide.

2020 - It's Ghislaine Maxwell's turn

[Timber Rattler]

BTW, by publicly declaring the Epstein files as "fake" and untrustworthy," Trump just destroyed their legal value as incriminating evidence against anybody who might be mentioned in them, or on the client list.

So, again, why is Maxwell still in prison?

[corbe]

   @Right_in_Virginia I noticed your little history lesson omitted the fact the Blondi was AG of Florida the first time he was arrested. Trump (your lover) was President the second time he was arrested and conveniently suicided.   
    Shirly, you don't expect rational people to accept your MAGA BS on face value alone?

[cato potatoe]

Trump certainly knows how to pick competent AG's. 

She is just following orders from Trump.  He is being evasive, and he obviously wants this story buried.   

[corbe]

   IOW Trump has managed to step on his small dick, again.

[corbe]

Tell us:  What's your point?  Or will you need to sober up before you sttempt an answer?

   The point @Riv is that Trump's Department heads wrote up all the reports.   Now he's saying obummer, hellary and pelousi were responsible.  He needs to man up.

[Right_in_Virginia]

   The point @Riv is that Trump's Department heads wrote up all the reports.

What reports are those?

[libertybele]

Where were you 20 years ago @libertybele

Who do *you* think was paying Epstein's legal fees ... the CIA or Mossad?

Regardless of the timeline, regardless of implications, regardless of who was on Epstein's Island, regardless who was paying Epstein's legal fees, the fact still remains that it was Trump who made the promise that the Epstein and Kennedy files would be released and Bondi stated she had the files on her desk.  People have been waiting.

So ... if it wasn't a big deal President Trump should have kept his lips sealed on the issue and Bondi shouldn't have made a spectacle of herself.

CIA or Mossad? I'll wager both.  Our President is tossing this issue into the wind and my questions is who has silenced him?

It's a shame, as this is now brings a black eye to his presidency and administration which otherwise IMHO  has been making some tremendous progress.

[Right_in_Virginia]

 @corbe ----  Is this the "report" you're referring to?

Journalist Julie K. Brown, of the Miami Herald, played a significant role in bringing about Jeffrey Epstein's 2019 arrest. Her investigative reporting, notably the "Perversion of Justice" series published in November 2018, exposed details of Epstein's plea deal and highlighted the experiences of dozens of alleged victims. Brown's work, which included interviewing numerous accusers, brought renewed attention to the case and prompted the investigation by New York federal prosecutors that led to Epstein's arrest in July 2019.

While the Daily Beast initially reported the news of Epstein's arrest, prosecutors themselves acknowledged the role of investigative journalism in bringing the case forward, implicitly referencing Brown's contributions.

[libertybele]

Agreed.  Yes he now wants this story buried, and obviously he should have never told the country that he was going to release the files.  We've been waiting.  We haven't forgotten, yet he wants this all to go away.  Bondi has followed his instructions.  Patel seems to be ok with it, but from what is being reported, Bongino isn't exactly happy with this turn of events.

If I were Bongino, I'd be closely watching my back right now. Because he's made some noise, if he stays or if he goes, how will they silence him as obviously he has information that 'they' don't want known.

[Right_in_Virginia]

   It was me that never had any faith in your guy(cult) @Right_in_Virginia .  Sure Trump is better than hellary, biden or Comealot but you set the bar so low to begin with.  How is it my fault that I don't believe?

[Right_in_Virginia]

Hurdles exist for prosecution of each suspect:  differing Statute of Limitations, differing national and international jurisdictions, evidence of a crime, including victim and witnesses. 

In a nutshell:  Maxwell was found guilty of sex trafficking:

Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison for her role in a scheme to sexual exploit and abuse multiple minor girls with Jeffrey Epstein over the course of a decade.  Maxwell was found guilty on December 29, 2021, following a one-month jury trial, of conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, conspiracy to transport minors to participate in illegal sex acts, transporting a minor to participate in illegal sex acts, sex trafficking conspiracy, and sex trafficking of a minor.  https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/ghislaine-maxwell-sentenced-20-years-prison-conspiring-jeffrey-epstein-sexually-abuse

There is just too much to 'disappear'. What sort of stupid do they think we are?

All this focus, and still no arrests and prosecutions. Not even people falling out of windows. Hillary's crowd at least had 'botched robberies and accidents'.

This bullshit has me looking at Elon 's Party that much harder. And no, I don't trust anyone any higher than a mail carrier in the Government, and not all of them. This administration is no exception.

I think they are holding back because they've discovered it was a Mossad front with blessing of the CIA. It's the only thing that makes sense.

In their quest for i's dotted and t's crossed, everything squared and tidy, what they might get is a scandal that destabilizes Bibi's government. Given what's going on in the Middle East, that could be devastating to our side.

Yes, those that abused the young girls that were sex trafficked need to be held accountable and the fact that Bondi has made no arrests is troubling.  Even more troubling is our President is praising her for what a great job she's doing and now trying to bury this whole issue.

President Trump is doing what he can to bury this; likely for our national security and reputation.

Watching him speak light of the situation like Epstein was no longer relative news was very telling; he knows he has to bury this issue and wasn't very good at deflecting.

That's a very questionable 'if'... IF Trump's name is on the list, why would he announce that the Epstein files would be released? That would be just plain foolish, unless it was nothing more than a hopeful 'fake' that he would hope to save his hide.  His involvement is one thing and now his blatant coverup is troubling.

Ok, he was once friends with Epstein and maybe he went to the Island once and saw what was going on and broke ties with  him.  I can see that as a possibility, but him wanting us to believe that Epstein's Island, Epstein's suicide and Maxwell's incarceration is no big deal is an insult.  Prince Andrew's and Clinton's involvement is just the beginning and apparently the depth of the sex trafficking and what else went on runs much much wider.

I'll briefly say it again....  After watching 4 years of flailing warfare by the left against DJT, , wouldn't you think that Merrick Garland would have extracted some form of incrimination, since he had the entire file?
