democrats take the Epstein bait hook, line and sinker

The Epstein saga continues, now with a bit of legerdemain. The alleged “Epstein list” has disappeared. Pam Bondi made the announcement a couple of weeks ago. When asked about the list In February, Bondi did say “It’s sitting on my desk right now to review.” Then it stopped existing.

When questioned about her February statement, Bondi did try to walk back her “Epstein list” comment after the DOJ memo shut down the idea of a client list existing. She claimed she was talking about the broader case files, not some specific bombshell list.

“I was referring to the entire Epstein case file, thousands of pages of documents, videos, and other materials, some of which include deeply disturbing content like child sexual abuse material. There was no specific ‘client list’ as some have speculated, but we are committed to reviewing all relevant materials thoroughly.”

There were many reflexive calls for her termination and worse. Dan Bongino threatened to resign if all the files weren’t made public. I’ve said it many times before- wait for the other shoe to drop. And drop it did.

The question in my head, and I posted it several times on X and other social media was “whose bidding is Bondi doing?”

This was critically important and the tell was Donald Trump. Was he going to support her or fire her? And it turned out that he supports her. Trump released a lengthy statement on this:

Kash Patel stands with Trump

The conspiracy theories just aren’t true, never have been. It’s an honor to serve the President of the United States @realDonaldTrump— and I’ll continue to do so for as long as he calls on me.

Trump is not bothered about and does support Bondi, and Kash Patel stands with Trump. Where does that leave everything?

Many have seized upon an alleged statement by Alex Acosta. Alex Acosta served as U.S. Attorney from 2005 to 2009 and was appointed Labor Secretary in 2017, serving until his resignation in 2019.

As U.S. Attorney, Acosta negotiated a non-prosecution agreement (NPA) with Epstein’s legal team, which included high-profile attorneys like Jay Lefkowitz and Ken Starr. Under the deal:

Epstein pleaded guilty to two state charges (solicitation of prostitution and solicitation involving a minor).
He served 13 months of an 18-month sentence in a county jail, with lenient work-release privileges allowing him to spend up to 12 hours a day at his office.
Epstein was required to register as a sex offender and pay restitution to victims.
The agreement granted immunity to Epstein and four named co-conspirators, plus any unnamed “potential co-conspirators,” effectively halting the FBI probe into additional victims or accomplices.

A 2020 Justice Department investigation by the Office of Professional Responsibility concluded Acosta exercised “poor judgment” in opting for the NPA and failing to notify victims but found no professional misconduct or corrupt motives (e.g., Epstein’s wealth or connections).

Acosta was allegedly told by the Department of Justice (DOJ) to go easy on Jeffrey Epstein because he “belongs to intelligence”, but this comes from a single, unverified source in 2017 and published by the Daily Beast in 2019.

There is no verification of this assertion anywhere.

Alan Dershowitz, one of Epstein’s lawyers and not known for prevarication, had much to say about all this. He told Newsmax that everything that can be released has been released. He feels that Pam Bondi is being unfairly maligned. He also said that there are lists of names of wrongdoers, but none are in office right now. About the allegation that Epstein worked for Israeli intelligence Dershowitz said:

“Look, I have sources in Israel,” said Dershowitz. “I once represented the Mossad. I helped get 4 or 5 Mossad agents out of Cyprus who had been improperly arrested. And believe me, if he had ever worked for the Mossad, the first person he would have told that to is me, because he would have wanted me to use that to help him get an even better deal than he got.”

Dershowitz does feel more material should be released:

“Some of it is material that’s been redacted, some of it sealed by the court, and it comprises several things,” he said. “There are some that include accusations made by people I know, the people who have been accused, and some of it involves negative material about the accusers. And the courts have redacted those in order to ‘protect the victims.’”

He added, though, “Are they victims or are they mixed? Some of them are mixed, victims and false accusers. So everything should come out.”

But that, he concludes, is up to the Courts.

Now Trump telling the country to move on while democrats are ramping up their calls for making everything public. That includes Dick Durbin, who blocked the release of the Epstein flight logs. They may be asking for a figurative noose, i.e. what they demand be released may wind up impaling themselves. Then you watch how fast the press loses interest.

Pam Bondi has done her job. They’ve fallen into the trap.

Again.
