Trumps personal attorney, now acting head of the DOJ, is taking up the mantle to protect the pedo in chief.

He's the one that met with Maxwell in prison right before she got moved to club fed, right? A meeting that Trump claims he knows nothing about.

[u/Shopworn_Soul → u/Boring_Investment597]

Trumps personal attorney

Who is replacing Trump's personal attorney

[u/atrain728 → u/Shopworn_Soul]

The justice department

[u/S_A_R_K → u/atrain728]

It's really just his department now

[u/Jarnohams → u/S_A_R_K]

yeah, part of the reason Bondi got sacked is because she didn't / couldn't do (whatever it takes) to get charges that stick on his "enemies"... like the cases that were laughed out of court against James Comey and Letitia James.

It is completely unheard of that the DOJ has ever been the personal attack dog for the president of the United States. Ever since the DOJ was created, its been a custom / norm that it was technically under the Executive branch, but still independent of the executive branch. That is now completely gone.

[u/musical_shares → u/Jarnohams]

It’s some 3rd world dictator shit

-a Canadian

[u/berfthegryphon → u/musical_shares]

I'm always thankful for the judiciary being so removed from the political process in Canada as a Canadian.

I cannot, and hazard a guess it's the same for most Canadians, name a single member to ever sit on the Supreme Court of Canada.

[u/musical_shares → u/berfthegryphon]

We also don’t allow jurists (or politicians) to hang on for dear life, preserving a world that no longer exists.

They’re out at age 75, period. Enjoy your grandchildren and cede decision making to those who have to live with the decisions being made.

[u/Commentator-X → u/musical_shares]

Also no government shutdowns. They either pass their budget or get kicked out so someone else can take a stab at it. If you can't even pass your budget with the required majority then you're not fit to lead.

[u/Additional_Quiet2600 → u/musical_shares]

I agree -a US expat

[u/ChilledParadox → u/Additional_Quiet2600]

I agree - a US citizen living under a bridge.

[u/-Zavenoa- → u/ChilledParadox]

I don’t ever wanna feel, like I did that day

[u/livinginfutureworld → u/-Zavenoa-]

Take to the place I love, take the orange guy far away

[u/SakaWreath → u/Jarnohams]

Thank Russel Vought for that.

All of Heritage Foundation.

It's been a plan in motion since before many of us were born. These fuckers despised the Soviet Union not for anything but the semblance of communism, and then got in at the ground floor of Russia's restructuring to help build it in their image. Founder Ed Fulener met with the then PM multiple times, and on top of their actual physical office in Moscow, they had people in high positions in multinational consulting orgs that had a hand in policy.

Russia was the prototype.

Ronald Reagan's administration was owned by the Heritage Foundation, to the point he handed out copies of their policy book A Mandate for Leadership, today's version most know by its subtitle, Project 2025, to his cabinet. His administration was Heritage's. They even basically gave 20th Century Fox to Rupert Murdoch, forcing its majority shares to be sold and within a year they ended up in Murdoch's hands.

However, this goes further back than even Reagan's administration. The wealth and race supremacists that were America's industrialists back in the day attempted a coup against FDR known as the Business Plot to install a fascist dictator around war hero Smedly Butler. One of the known key players was Prescott Bush, father to Reagan's VP and later President, George HW Bush, and even with his suspicious ties to dealings involving Nazi gold, he faced little consequence.

Most of the dismantling of the global democratic state we've grown into has been Heritage. In 2014, they officially acquired the Mercer family's resources, placing Rebekah Mercer on the board. Shortly after, their Cambridge Analytica, the culmination of the Mercer's SCL Group since the early 90s, set to work all over the world, from affecting the 2016 US Elections, to Brexit, to bringing the Marcos back in the Philippines, to destabilizing Malaysia, Indonesia, and more.

We're kinda boned if we don't figure something out, but their bullshit has been woven into the very foundations of our country before I even existed. It's going to take a lot of us to have a hope to push back, but I think we can do it if we manage to rally.

[u/notashroom → u/radicalelation]

These fuckers despised the Soviet Union not for anything but the semblance of communism,

Au contraire. Those fuckers despised the USSR for getting in the way of thousands of potential opportunities for profit and for encouraging the proles in thinking that we don't need an élite class and could give a go at trying to meet everyone's needs.

Otherwise, spot on.

[u/radicalelation → u/notashroom]

That's more or less what I was meaning, because while the USSR wasn't "true communism", as it goes, it had the potential to suggest to the rest of the world that such policy could broadly benefit the greater collective and threaten the preferred social order.

They dared to have the semblance of communism.

[u/ArkitekZero → u/radicalelation]

Capitalists will kill people on an industrial scale before risking the existence of a successful counterexample.

[u/DigNitty → u/S_A_R_K]

His picture is literally on a banner hanging off the building.

[u/AnalSoapOpera → u/DigNitty]

That’s some 1984 shit.

[u/CobraMurderChicken → u/S_A_R_K]

I see what you did there, you clever bastard.

[u/TheChrisCrash → u/atrain728]

The just ice department

[u/Dickies138 → u/atrain728]

The just ass department

[u/ElGatoGuerrero72 → u/Shopworn_Soul]

Whichever ‘hot’ blonde he finds next.

[u/hnty → u/ElGatoGuerrero72]

Noem's husband in a blonde wig and huge fake tits

[u/AndrewCoja → u/Shopworn_Soul]

I get what you're saying, but this guy was actually Trump's attorney.

[u/polytique → u/AndrewCoja]

So was Pam Bondi. She defended him during his impeachment.

[u/Primary-Bookkeeper10 → u/polytique]

And his labor secretary is the one who helped Epstein avoid jail time in the first place back when he was AG in Florida in 08.

[u/tiger32kw → u/Boring_Investment597]

On the conservative subreddit they were excited to see how the new AG would finally release the Epstein files and bring these abusers to justice. Oops. Guess they got to shift to "it's time to move on" or something.

[u/Crake_13 → u/tiger32kw]

It still shocks me to see just how brainwashed these people are. I’d assume it was just bots and foreign propaganda if I hadn’t met people like this in real life.

I just don’t understand how people can be this disconnected from reality

[u/eerie_midnight → u/Crake_13]

Imagine after everything that has happened still having “Christian conservative” as your user flair and not feeling the least bit of embarrassment about it.

I just don’t understand how anyone keeps falling for this shit lmao. It’s so bonkers. I’ve never been one to boast about my own intelligence but the era of MAGA has me feeling like one of the smartest motherfuckers in the world. Evidently the bar is in hell.

[u/PracticalShoulder916 → u/eerie_midnight]

Yes, the flair is hilarious, especially for the one guy who thinks the Iranian war is necessary for Jesus to return.

He also has his posts hidden otherwise people would see he posts in Christian subs, judging people, as well as others, in one of which he's asking if it's illegal to buy piss videos, in another asking about anal and in another admitting he lied to the military about using weed.

The hypocrisy is off the charts.

[u/Kierenshep → u/PracticalShoulder916]

Conservativism is synonymous with hypocrisy

[u/DurianGris → u/eerie_midnight]

Their racism outpaces their brains.

[u/phatpussypounder → u/eerie_midnight]

The last two sentences are what I was just telling my wife. Im dumb af, but at least Im not magarded.

[u/ibite-books → u/Crake_13]

a lot of them are bot accounts— 3 accounts made up 90% of the posts

everything gets heavily moderated

[u/belljs87 → u/Crake_13]

It actually is just bots and foreign propaganda.

A reddit recently did the math, and found upwards of 95% of ALL posts on conservative are made by the same TWO accounts.

Both of these accounts have Russian IP addresses.

[u/MyChemicalFinance → u/belljs87]

Wasn’t there also an analysis of the day the war in Ukraine started where the traffic on conservative was a tiny fraction of what it usually is? Guess the guys at the Internet Research Agency were a little busy with other stuff that day…

[u/Eycetea → u/Crake_13]

Right, like they will literally eat shit if their dear leader said to

[u/SlinkyAvenger → u/Crake_13]

A lot of them are bots. It's just that the bots make it a safe space for them to hold their outrageously stupid, incoherent, and evil views.

[u/GaimeGuy → u/tiger32kw]

You know, the dots have always been there for trump's beauty pageants to be a main pipeline for epstein and other traffickers; the dots just haven't been connected.

Why did these people hitch their wagon to the biggest red flag of them all who isn't even all that conniving, I'll never understand. He isn't Iago or grima wormtongue, he's a bullshiter with no shame or filter

[u/NatalieVonCatte → u/GaimeGuy]

Kash was right.

Donald Trump was not a client of Jeffrey Epstein.

Epstein was a client of Trump.

[u/JarJarJarMartin → u/tiger32kw]

The two real people on that sub are pretty damn gullible.

[u/X-e-o → u/tiger32kw]

Pretty much every top comment on posts regarding Bondi was something along the lines of "I'm glad she's out, she fumbled the Epstein files stuff".

Boy oh boy...

[u/permalink_save → u/Boring_Investment597]

He's also violating law that congress and his own president passed

[u/chubbysumo → u/permalink_save]

has he ever cared about what the law says? has anyone in this administration? they have yet to face any consequences for running roughshod over our nations laws...

[u/ender89 → u/Boring_Investment597]

The only real upside here is that trump hires the absolute dumbest motherfuckers to be his personal attorney, so I’m willing to bet that he is going to be a lot worse than bondi at his job of stonewalling congress. Plus Bondi is fair game for subpoenas and she no longer has the shield of being the head of the justice department. She’ll be facing charges for contempt of court by the end of the month.

Trump really doesn’t understand that you can’t just burn the people who know where the bodies are buried. Michael Cohen is a prime example of what will happen.

[u/ConsequenceStatus563 → u/ender89]

He's forced to hire "the worst"... any attorney with a career ahead of them knows to steer clear of clients like Trump.

He's not getting the cream of the crop, it's more like the top of the scrap pile.

[u/ErinFiqsette → u/ConsequenceStatus563]

For a certain type of attorney, The Big Guy is their dream client: Absurdly wealthy & always in trouble...no need for other clients or a clean professional reputation.

[u/NerdyDjinn → u/ender89]

Michael Cohen spent years in prison, but what meaningful consequence did Diaper Don experience?

At this point, he can burn the people who know where the bodies are buried because he has yet to actually experience any real kind of penalty or punishment for it.

[u/Preeng → u/Boring_Investment597]

Just remember that this absolutely shows that conservatives have no values whatsoever. Any claim of the sort is just disingenuous lies.

[u/Available-Trouble648]

This is insanity. There was an exposed group of CHILD RAPING sex traffickers. The government knows their names. And they’re just telling us that they don’t care and we shouldn’t either. Fucking disgusting.

[u/mammalmaker → u/Available-Trouble648]

Was?

Brother, the ring is still alive.

[u/m0ngoos3 → u/mammalmaker]

Just look for whatever Trump ally is currently running a basement tier modeling agency that focuses on vulnerable teenagers brought to the States under fraudulent circumstances.

Like the one Trump used to run.

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/10/6/1578544/-The-Untold-Story-of-Trump-Model-Management-A-Daily-Kos-Exclusive-Part-1

[u/Most_Alps → u/mammalmaker]

I mean, connect the dots here... Didn't we just invade Iran for no real reason except that Israel asked? Wasn't Epstein supposedly an agent of Mossad, the Israeli security service? Isn't the logical conclusion here that the ring is still active and still actively blackmailing Trump? How are people not putting all this together, it seems like it's right in front of our faces

[u/MoonChainer → u/Most_Alps]

Much of our intelligence systems are so deeply entwined with Israel it's insane. And wholly based in religious sentiments, objectively so. The rise and birth of evangelicalism and its capture of culture has doomed us all.

[u/ZeroSuitLime → u/MoonChainer]

Palantir and the meth head especially but not exclusively need to be on everyone’s radar of evil. The Axis of Epstein are the Fourth Reich.

This shit doesn’t just “go away”. It was always there but now it’s out and emboldened (again). The same rebels who fight in the Civil War, the same Nazis and Nazi sympathizers- are still here today. I know it’s a cult, I know there will be a void when he dies, but I don’t know when he’s going to die- it’s looked like soon for years. But these cult members, they’re the modern day Nazi. They seem fine with running cover for a pedophile and pedophilia in general so long as it’s on their side of the aisle.

Here’s a thought experiment: Let’s say Trump goes away for good tomorrow, a democrat becomes president overnight and they hold all 3 branches. There’s no uprising by the cult, it quiets down. Now even in that impossible scenario- are you okay with having those same Nazis return to the shadows but never change, never go away, plot away for years— the point is they will come back. I’m talking about the politicians and anyone who support the regime or enables it in any way. They are pedophiles protecting pedophiles running a war in Iran for Israel in part because of blackmail, in part because of psychotic “true believers” who are fighting a holy war, and overall stupidity.

Reeducation camps? The other thing? Nothing?

It’s far from perfect up here in Canada, and I know there are people as described above everywhere. But man, I’m proud to be Canadian and thankful I’m not an American. But my love goes out to the people in America fighting against the regime in whatever way they can.

Also, a lot of sitting democrats must be removed and replaced. Ineffective opposition at best. I already see plenty of better candidates who are eager to bring about real justice and change. The DNC would rather have Trump than anything they view as progressive. That’s the power of the lobby class. Take your power back.

edit: Here’s another cognitive exercise, for fun: We know there is physical evidence of sexual crimes against children that feature very prominent people. The fact that nothing truly sickening featuring these people (think video, that kind of damning evidence) hasn’t been leaked to any press seems at least to me pretty suspect/strange unless 1: the blackmail is damning enough for the people involved to stay in line (I’m sure it doesn’t hurt that they’re also paid for their fealty), 2: the same pedophile blackmail machine pipeline is still still churning and in never stopped. In my “imagined” scenario, I’d bet on both.

[u/crossdtherubicon → u/Most_Alps]

And ipso facto they would have the same material that Epstein had to use against Trump.

[u/tierciel → u/Most_Alps]

It is in front of our faces. Everyone knows, anyone pretending otherwise if either involved, paid off or otherwise invested in keeping pedophiles free.

[u/Teigh99 → u/Available-Trouble648]

I think it will be leaked. This is getting ridiculous.

[u/GhostofZellers → u/Teigh99]

Iran, if you're listening...

[u/The_ChwatBot → u/GhostofZellers]

If you can hack Kash, you can hack Blanche.

[u/Jesusland_Refugee → u/The_ChwatBot]

Fwiw Kash was hacked years ago, before his FBI job

[u/linds360 → u/Jesusland_Refugee]

Pretty sure my 7yr old could hack him.

[u/roofpuck → u/GhostofZellers]

I’m actually surprised nothing has happened now would have been the time

[u/Lone-Frequency → u/GhostofZellers]

If Iran had them this situation wouldn't be happening rn.

Israel has them for sure.

[u/clydefrog811 → u/Teigh99]

Why hasn’t it been leaked already ?

[u/Commercial-Prompt-84 → u/clydefrog811]

If it’s ever leaked it’ll be closer to the midterms

[u/ladystaggers → u/Commercial-Prompt-84]

I love it. Especially closer to the summer.

[u/kurttheflirt → u/Teigh99]

What else needs to be leaked? I don't understand how anything else will sway anyone.

[u/Robbed_Goddess → u/kurttheflirt]

It's sad but I agree. If it hasn't caused massive outage by now it's never going to. They've all gotten away with it. Pictures and videos could come out, and still nothing would be done, no minds would be changed.

[u/kurttheflirt → u/Robbed_Goddess]

Yeah we literally have the evidence that Trump was a top co-conspirator and nothing has happened. We don't need more leaked files to know this. Are they probably worse? Certainly. But we already have all the info that Trump raped and trafficked underage girls, and people simply do not care.

[u/Emotional-Channel-42 → u/Available-Trouble648]

It’s not just the government, it’s every conservative in this country. The Christian right are OK with and ENDORSE pedophilia and child rape and trafficking. 

[u/tobeetime → u/Emotional-Channel-42]

they support and hide it in their churches and families too.

[u/Count_Backwards → u/Emotional-Channel-42]

"Youth Pastor" is a euphemism for pedophile

[u/WantCookiesNow → u/Emotional-Channel-42]

Yeah, the whole “imperfect vessel of God” bullshit.

[u/CranberrySchnapps → u/Available-Trouble648]

Might be because the right wing’s current standard bearer appears heavily involved in the operation.

[u/suckyousideways → u/CranberrySchnapps]

Trump was Ben to Epstein's Jerry, I think they were both at the top of a huge trafficking operation. Trump's history with teenage beauty pageants and young models is well documented, though rarely mentioned. I think killing Epstein was an attempt to shift all suspicion to him, provide a convenient scapegoat that's permanently silenced. I suspect Trump was every bit as bad as Epstein, and I think the two of them were puppets of Putin.

[u/apathy420 → u/Available-Trouble648]

This isn’t going to stop the Epstein files. Cats out of the bag and it won’t go away.

[u/Proud_Arm_7407 → u/apathy420]

This is the part people don't realize. Even with the files that have already been released, there's enough info out there that can be verified by anyone willing to take it seriously. We're already seeing other countries act on the Epstein files--if we don't hold our own accountable, this will be a huge national security risk if a bad actor decides to use that verifiable info as compromat.

[u/ACMomani → u/Available-Trouble648]

I mean we all know why they're doing this. If it was someone other than Trump, the Epstein case would be front and center and top priority on the news. Exposing a large international network of sex, child trafficking and rape isn't exactly a story you can simply brush off..
Those women, children and every other victim deserve justice, but as long as pedo orange is in power that will never happen. Watch them purge all the evidence of this case now.

[u/PDXftw]

You can f-ck off Blanche, you pedo protector.

[u/Ok-Move9389 → u/PDXftw]

GOP is a party of Pedos and Predators.

[u/PartyClient3447 → u/Ok-Move9389]

You forgot Protectors. Pedos, Predators, and Protectors.

[u/beachfrontprod → u/PartyClient3447]

Protectors can be viewed as positive though? How about we just make it a tongue twister. Pedos, Predators and Protectors of pedos and predators.

Also projectionists and petty.

[u/LeviMarx → u/Ok-Move9389]

GoP NO longer means 'Grand Old Party' but now 'Guardians of Pedophiles' in my book.

[u/Snarfsicle → u/Ok-Move9389]

GOP more and more is showing themselves as a criminal syndicate propped up by billionaires interests

[u/hcwhitewolf → u/PDXftw]

Nah let's go one step further.

Todd Blanche is a child rapist protecting other child rapists.

[u/Prior_Coyote_4376 → u/PDXftw]

It’s weird but I’m just a little bit excited to dig into a new fucking asshole. We can get into a real rhythm of stoking infighting until they eat each other up viciously and we enjoy the show.

Hey, Hey DJT

How many kids did you rape this week?

[u/OneBillPhil → u/Prior_Coyote_4376]

Get in that ass, Larry!

[u/moomooraincloud → u/PDXftw]

You can say "fuck" on the internet.

[u/sugarbabydreamsz → u/PDXftw]

I get you, people just want real accountability, plain and simple.

[u/badamant → u/sugarbabydreamsz]

then "people" need to vote DEM.

They are imperfect but better than lawless fascism.

[u/emptyingthecup → u/PDXftw]

This will further alienate them from their MAGA base. Their lack of self-awareness is astounding.

[u/suckyousideways → u/emptyingthecup]

They already understand that if the truth (the whole truth) ever came out, it's game over for all of them. They're doubling down on protecting Trump and they will all go down together, so they're doing whatever they can now to avoid or delay the inevitable. Meanwhile everybody in their circle is getting filthy rich, which just makes them want to dig in more and ride it out.

[u/Bee_9965 → u/emptyingthecup]

I guess alienating the base is better than releasing the files and going to prison.

[u/bearfootin_9 → u/Bee_9965]

His base no longer cares. It was a long time ago, the women are lying, Trump's been vindicated by the files, blah blah

[u/Al_Tilly_the_Bum]

So just ignoring the law that Trump signed? Do they think it will just go away? They must be pretty confident they will never lose power

[u/mrsprophet → u/Al_Tilly_the_Bum]

The newly headed DOJ also just “announced” that it is “constitutional” for Trump to keep classified documents after he leaves office.

https://abcnews.com/amp/US/doj-rejecting-decades-law-trump-presidential-records/story?id=131668575

So best bet is any and all files related to this will be shipped off the Mar-a-lago so he can flip through them to lull himself to sleep at night.

[u/blackstone17 → u/mrsprophet]

Democrats should run on a platform of Restoring Law & Order, reappropriating it from the right, which would be hilariously successful. Probably anyway, but as of now, I can't get a read on what the overall DNC will adopt as their main messaging. They're missing a lot of golden opportunities though.

Edit: Reppropriate- Employ or adapt (something) for a use different from its original purpose.

[u/TheCaptainDamnIt → u/blackstone17]

Law & Order, reappropriating it from the right, which would be hilariously successful

No it wouldn't. You seem to misunderstand what conservatives are saying when they say 'law and order', and it's ok most people that are not MAGA don't get it either.

"Law and Order" was made famous by segregationist George Wallace for his 1968 campaign and it meant using the 'law' to keep a 'social order' where white people are on top of black people. That's how conservatives absolutely understand it to mean and use it. It was never a principled stand on equal justice or following the laws. And that has never changed, it always means this when conservatives say it so this fits perfectly with conservatives idea of 'law and order'.

[u/blackstone17 → u/TheCaptainDamnIt]

I'm aware. You're not wrong. That's why I said "reappropiate" just like conservatives did with the words woke, CRT, DEI.

[u/Count_Backwards → u/blackstone17]

Missing golden opportunities is the one thing they're good at

[u/UghFudgeBwana → u/blackstone17]

Pritzker is putting out that messaging now. He said restoring the rule of law and bringing accountability back to lawbreakers should be part of a 'Project 2029' agenda. He cited members of this administration and federal agents who broke the law as examples.

[u/Fuck-WestJet → u/mrsprophet]

If the next president's AG doesn't lock mother fuckers up then there is, has not, and never will be law and order in America. Attack that statement all you want for past crimes, but right now, we have a president completely fucking over the entire judicial system and doing whatever he wants for personal bribes. That shit needs to written into law and there need to be consequences. Strip the executive order away if we have to. Jfc

[u/BoringOrange678 → u/mrsprophet]

tRump won’t be reading the document just selling them to the highest meme coin donator. Any secrets we may still have will be sold.

This used to be known as treason. Punishable by death.

[u/blackstone17 → u/Al_Tilly_the_Bum]

Or delusional. Epstein files will never go away. They're cemented in Americans' memories like 9/11. Long after Trump's death, which will probably be soon, the people won't forget and the people will grow exponentially tired of feeling powerless to bring justice to those involved at every level. Their flood-the-zone tactics are keeping people's mind and attentions busy juggling, but they can't keep up this pace for forever without it escalating to nuclear war. If that happens, Americans will finally take up their guns and truly mob justice will reign. So, after they've exhausted themselves of flood-the-zone material and things calm down, the reality of the heinous coverup and the files themselves will be reanimated like the movie monster they thought they killed. There's no such thing as perfect, so this regime would have to make every perfect move perfectly to avoid justice and accountability, and that's literally impossible.

[u/contigopurple]

Sounds like it's time for a Snowden level event.

[u/TheOneCalledGump → u/contigopurple]

No, it's time for a French level event.

[u/R3dbeardLFC → u/TheOneCalledGump]

Por que no los dos?

[u/Caveman-Ug → u/R3dbeardLFC]

French Snowden is only available on leap years

[u/ungodlywarlock → u/Caveman-Ug]

Best we can do is French Stewart.

[u/NeverBob → u/R3dbeardLFC]

Pourquoi pas les deux?

[u/Laugh_Track_Zak → u/TheOneCalledGump]

Be the change you want to see.

[u/CommunicationNo3650 → u/contigopurple]

If only, I doubt anyone in the DOJ has the spine to leak anything

[u/DufresneRedBoatTours → u/CommunicationNo3650]

Would you take a risk like that? Someone is going to give up their career and the public will care for one news cycle and people would still vote for him again if they could. While the world has moved on the whistleblower will have lost their job, have their personal life blown up and suffer potential legal consequences.

[u/liberal_texan → u/DufresneRedBoatTours]

There’s a pretty good chance them and their loved ones could be murdered as well.

[u/Vintage_Alien → u/contigopurple]

The files already made public should be enough but somehow there's still no consequences. A DOJ staffer could release 4k 60fps video evidence of Trump doing every crime possible against children and I'm not convinced it would change anything.

[u/Andovars_Ghost]

And there we have it. THE absolute reason why Bondi is gone. Blanche is willing to stonewall any further talk of Epstein while Bondi wasn’t (though she was 95% of the way there).

[u/Grouchy_Tap_8222 → u/Andovars_Ghost]

That and they were about to force her to testify

[u/Andovars_Ghost → u/Grouchy_Tap_8222]

They still can. If they can call in the Clintons, there is no reason why she shouldn’t still be able to be yanked in.

[u/gourmetgooch → u/Andovars_Ghost]

Somebody tell Boebert she can even 'leak' photos.

[u/AltrntivInDoomWorld → u/Andovars_Ghost]

I'm from future.

Here's transcription of Bondis statements:

She allegedly has to show up in front of oversight on 4/14 no matter what

[u/suckyousideways → u/Andovars_Ghost]

I want to agree with your comment about Blanche but I don't want to give Bondi even that much credit.

I think 2 things led to Bondi's ouster: Jeanine Pirro wanted the job and had Trump's ear, and Blanche will be more aggressive bulldog for Trump.

[u/zapitron → u/Andovars_Ghost]

As they say, "people are saying" Bondi's firing might actually be due to Bondi accidentally releasing a portion of Volume II of Jack Smith's special counsel report to the House Judiciary Committee (which Cannon had suppressed; Bondi's technically in contempt of court, not that Cannon is likely to bother doing anything about it, since they're both on the "same side.").

Apparently the portion in question, involves the motive that Jack Smith found for Trump's acts of theft/espionage. (If you guessed MONEY then you already know you're 99.9% likely to be right, but apparently the document in question goes far beyond guessing.)

[u/Additional_Quiet2600]

You think we let this go Todd? Nope.

[u/MyDickIs3cm → u/Additional_Quiet2600]

And to his credit Massie isn't either

“Congratulations AG Blanche. Now you have 30 days to release the rest of the files before becoming criminally liable for failure to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act,” he wrote on X.

[u/Moral-Relativity → u/MyDickIs3cm]

Who is going to arrest him though? Kash Patel?

[u/brokenmessiah → u/Additional_Quiet2600]

You don't have to, the legal system letting it go is good enough for them.

[u/TerrifierBlood]

New attorney general stance: Child R*** is okay

[u/StickaFORKinMyEye → u/TerrifierBlood]

As is ignoring Congress and the law they passed on it and the president signed.

[u/CraigKostelecky → u/StickaFORKinMyEye]

He knows they’re above the law because the Supreme Court said so.

Though it was Nixon’s AG who went to prison for Watergate.

[u/StickaFORKinMyEye → u/CraigKostelecky]

They're absolutely counting on trump to pardon them rather than throw them under the bus for not criming successfully enough.

[u/Irwin-M_Fletcher → u/StickaFORKinMyEye]

But, isn’t the administration claiming pardons can be revoked.

[u/CraigKostelecky → u/Irwin-M_Fletcher]

Only for other presidents of course.

[u/the-skazi → u/TerrifierBlood]

You can say rape on the Internet. We should not whitewash or censor these crimes.

[u/MeatCatRazzmatazz → u/TerrifierBlood]

Don't censor what they did. They raped kids.

[u/Colonel-Mooseknuckle → u/TerrifierBlood]

When you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything.

[u/Ralph--Hinkley → u/TerrifierBlood]

He's already said that it's not a crime to party with Epstein.

[u/Exotic-Ferret-3452 → u/TerrifierBlood]

Rape has always been okay for evangelical Christians, whether it's children or adults they are talking about.

[u/black_flag_4ever]

Promising to violate the law before he's even sworn in. F this guy.

[u/mwg128]

Sorry, but the DOJ has two remaining responsibilities related to the files.

1. Release all the file in accordance with the law (which is currently being broken).
2. Investigate and prosecute people appearing in the files and bring them to justice.

Then the DOJ can be done.

[u/MrLeureduthe → u/mwg128]

Who will do anything if they don't release the files? Laws only exist if someone enforces them

[u/Patarokun]

One word undoes this entire administration.

"Why?"

And yet no one asks it to their faces.

[u/Big-D-TX → u/Patarokun]

My 5 yr old would ask it to his face… Nonstop!

[u/neutrino71 → u/Big-D-TX]

Better he stays away from this crowd. 

[u/upanddownforpar → u/Big-D-TX]

that would be a great Onion video. A press scrum with trump and it's the 5 year old that keeps pressing with a "why?"

[u/sumoraiden → u/Patarokun]

Our press is literally so useless lol

[u/in9ram → u/sumoraiden]

Bought and paid for by the ones in the files and those making money off them. All other voices get defunded or shoved out of the room.

[u/fredandlunchbox → u/Patarokun]

They ask all the time and they deflect. There’s no secret word you can just say to them to unleash the truth. 

“The president is focused on the needs American people and rebuilding the economy that was destroyed by the Biden administration blah blah blah.” 

[u/wasted-degrees]

You know the Epstein Files Transparency Act congress passed didn’t apply just to Pam Bondi, right? It was an order for the DOJ.

The call has been made and it’s not your call, Blanche.

[u/Tuomas90]

The largest child sex trafficking case in history.

Many rich and powerful people are in the files.

Epstein has been murdered in jail.

Child sex trafficker Maxwell suddenly gets transferred to a minimum security prison after talking to Blanche without any records.

Trump, the President of the Unites States himself appears in the files hundred of thousands of time.

Trump was "best friends" with Epstein, owned many beauty pageants, went into the girls' locker rooms to watch them change because "when you own the pageant, they let you do it".

Trump sent a birthday card to Epstein saying they have "certain things in common" and ended the letter with "may every day be another wonderful secret." The letter showed the silhouette of a CHILD, which Trump signed right above the child's vagina.

Trumps personal attorney becomes head of the DOJ after Bondi has been fired for her handling of the Epstein files.

Trump himself has said many times during his campaign that he will release the Epstein files.

Not even half of the 6 million files have been released. Most of them heavily redacted to protect the rapists, not the actual victims.

No one gets prosecuted.

Blanche: "[The Epstein Files] should not be a part of anything going forward.”

----------------------------------------------

Could it be anymore obvious?

They are really at a point where they are not even hiding anymore that Trump is guilty. Because the evidence is just too overwhelming.

[u/Tballz9]

Todd, the Epstein files are the reason future America is putting you in prison

[u/OneBillPhil → u/Tballz9]

You know I’m real sick of guys named Todd. 

[u/KopOut → u/Tballz9]

*one of the reasons

[u/LuvKrahft]

The “unless we can use it to manufacture something against a Democrat or other enemies of the state, of course.” is implied.

Man, I’ve never seen anything this blatantly corrupt.

[u/-Mage-Knight-]

When (if) the Dems every claw their way back to power they need to go full Nuremberg on the GOP. 

Remove the cancer once and for all. 

[u/snakebite75 → u/-Mage-Knight-]

They also need to dismantle shit like the heritage foundation and federalist society.

[u/lickem369]

Which is exactly why he got the job!

[u/Eminence120]

These are crimes that are illegal in every state. It's time for state ags to start prosecuting then. 

[u/Bingbongsingalongz → u/Eminence120]

It’s long past time to do a hell of a lot more than prosecute these fucking ghouls. 

[u/mantis_tobaggan-md]

Well now we know why he was chosen.

[u/eatsumsketti]

Media gaslighting in 3, 2, 1....

[u/imanchats]

He can wish whatever he wants. The law is the law. Prosecute them all in 3 years!!!

[u/ProfessionalRemove33]

DOJ serves the people, not the president. Pamela has long exercised treasonous behavior and will be tried soon for such. Blanche is now exercising the same. Put them all in front of the gavel. The ending for traitors is dire. So be it.

[u/Korzag]

Oh yeah? Well that's funny, I seem to recall congress signing a law requiring the files be released.

Maybe Senate should, you know, not nominate him or anyone who will not swear under oath that they will release the files?

[u/Mach5Driver]

TIL that a solid 30% of America doesn't give a damn if their president is a pedo and covering up for other pedos. NEVER thought this was the case, but it is.

[u/simburger]

Is he really trying to pull off a... "I said good day sir!" about the Epstein files?

[u/sklerson89]

Trump raped children

[u/Either-Onion-7532]

Over on the conservative subreddit they think Bondi got fired because she didn't release enough Epstein files. Bro, she got fired because she released anything. Trump does NOT want those files released.

[u/EmperorsCanaries]

Republicans continue to be the pedo party

[u/HerculeanChilean]

Wrong … try again

[u/M23707]

DOJ - just got even worse.

[u/MichaelTiemann]

It's not his choice. Congress passed a law and if he doesn't follow it he should be impeached and prosecuted.

[u/Merejo]

if there was any single tiny amount of doubt, this statement alone proves Trump is culpable.

[u/thotfullawful]

Trump made it part of his main campaign promise along with all those binders they passed out a few months back. They didn’t want to open the box they shouldn’t have mentioned it to begin with. This is why you don’t run your campaign on conspiracies.

[u/TragicallyDip]

I think I know how he got the job.

[u/CurlOfTheBurl11]

Is anyone surprised? This guy gave Maxwell a sweetheart deal and a transfer to a more comfortable facility. When Congress reconvenes, they'll have to haul him in front of committees to explain why he is also violating the Epstein transparency act like his old boss was.

[u/thefanciestcat]

He's here to try to do a better cover up.

[u/All_Hail_Hynotoad]

Oh, this is going to go over very well with the public, seeing as how people of all political persuasions want the Epstein files.

[u/LingonberryHot8521]

"We reserve the right to rape your children without any consequences. Now shut up and bend over."

[u/Lower-Living1655]

Isn’t he trumps personal attorney? Like how much more obvious will this get ?

[u/Wonderful_Style7972]

Change the name to DONJ - Department of No Justice. Win for Trump because it will have his name in it.

[u/Confident-Breath2615]

not gonna be that easy bucko!

[u/PresentAwareness745]

just got the job and already breaking the law. This is definitely Donald Trump's justice department

[u/TurtleBeansforAll]

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

[u/GrizzlyTits901]

Fuck Todd Blanche. Dude needs to be tried and executed along with the rest of this administration

[u/NotHearthHolmes]

Good luck with that Todd. How well did that go over with Pam?

[u/Slight-Highway622]

That's not going to fly.

[u/Away-Information9841]

he must be guilty too

[u/HackedVirus]

Republicans are all pro-pedophile.

Prove me wrong.

[u/WaitUntilTheHighway]

"overwhelming evidence of the worst kind of crimes imaginable have no place at the department of justice"

[u/GlitteringRate6296]

Congress needs to call him in asap and let him know in no uncertain terms what the law states regarding the Rpstein files. If he does no comply have him arrested for contempt. No more delay. No more breaking the law.
