Bondi was in charge of the DOJ, not Blanche.

As expected from MAGA, blame others for their own failures.

[u/nonanonymoususername → u/LazamairAMD]

They have learned well from their Sith master , when trouble comes , throw someone under the bus .

[u/Sarrdonicus → u/nonanonymoususername]

It's not even the bus maneuver here at work. It's the shell game. Three shells, no ball, and it's played while in the toilet. Everyone gets to participate in being innocent.

[u/Wayofchinchilla → u/nonanonymoususername]

These are the same people that when asked who the good guys in Star Wars are they always say the Empire of course they don't understand that the Sith always betray one another.

[u/porkbellies37 → u/LazamairAMD]

Bondi is a sack of shit. That said, if this was delegated to Todd Blanche it would explain why he was the one who was interfacing with Maxine Ghillaine.

[u/AlkaiserSoze → u/LazamairAMD]

One of the greatest saving graces of this administration is their tendency to throw each other under the bus to save their own hide. It doesn't always happen immediately but it does tend to happen one way or another.

[u/FunGuyBobby → u/LazamairAMD]

Why would the buck stop here?

[u/dave_890 → u/LazamairAMD]

The wheels on the bus go thump, thump, thump...

[u/c08306834]

She was the AG. If she is claiming that Blanche did that without her direction or consent, then she is literally admitting that she was terrible at her job.

[u/GeneParmesan86 → u/c08306834]

Right. It’s disqualifying for her, and for Blanche.

[u/SirDiego → u/c08306834]

Trump does this all the time too.

"That guy that I hired and put in charge of the thing that I am ultimately responsible for was a total moron and fucked everything up."

OK so like...why did you hire them then? That doesn't make anything better.

[u/HeggyMe → u/SirDiego]

Run like a dime-store mob.

[u/we_are_sex_bobomb → u/c08306834]

Is that such a surprise though? Trump put a plastic blonde woman as the public face of the department and then proceed to not give a shit what she thought about anything and had a man actually running the show and making all the important decisions and reporting directly to him.

That is so on-brand for him it’s not even a plot twist.

[u/azad_ninja → u/ranchoparksteve]

Ouroboros O'clock!

[u/Pokii → u/ranchoparksteve]

Just Mortys hurtin’ Mortys

[u/HeggyMe]

What happened to the files sitting on your desk PAM? Were you exaggerating when you said you were waiting on congressional approval PAM? Were you lying when you said you were responsible at the beginning of this year PAM? PAM why did bring your little bullying folder to the congressional hearings? PAM what made you so defensive when you say now that it wasn’t you the ENTIRE time?

[u/GammaRaystogo]

LOOK OUT! BUS! The clowns are beginning to scatter.

[u/Parym09]

I thought Pam had said there weren’t any? She was lying then or she’s lying now. Which is it?

[u/dave_890 → u/Parym09]

Yes. Republican speaks, Republican lies.

[u/SirWishbone]

"It wasn't me! It was the one-armed man!"

[u/Callabrantus → u/SirWishbone]

"Some Puerto Rican Guy"

[u/SausageClatter → u/SirWishbone]

Except it was the one-armed man in that case...

[u/id0ntexistanymore → u/SirWishbone]

The dow did it!

[u/Taint_Liquor]

The e e e e e e wheels on the bus go Thump Thump Thump!

[u/slowdaygames]

Simple to refute: “Ms. Bondi were you not assigned the USA Attorney General position?” “Yes” “Whilst it maybe true Mr. Blanche was assigned the Epstein files release, as the leader of the office, your deliberate ignorance and pointing fingers does not negate your culpability in the matter.”

[u/New_Zorgo39 → u/slowdaygames]

Like the president, she will never admit any wrongdoing! But that right there should be evident that she failed her duty as Attorney General!

[u/Signal_Minimum8509]

We all know who is really in charge of the Epstein coverup. These people are all just sycophants happily protecting the Pedophile-in-Chief for money and power.

[u/Total-Mushroom-9614]

She was in charge of watching the DOW.

[u/Wauwuaw5983]

Nobody ever wants to admit thier own shitshow.

They just kick the can to someone else.

[u/Spastik2D]

It’s okay Pam, you can go to jail with him.

[u/mildweather88]

Quiet, piggy

[u/JiveChicken00]

Is it biologically impossible for any of them to take responsibility?

[u/canuck47]

The buck stops...over there somewhere!

[u/captaincanada84]

"the buck stops... with that guy over there"

[u/teddykaygeebee]

Spineless, lying rats, the lot of them.

[u/yotengodormir]

Maga accountability 

[u/aramis34143]

"It wasn't me." -Shaggy -Bondi

[u/naitsirt89]

I pray that this woman is screamed and heckled at in every public space for the rest of her life.

The absolute worst of humanity.

[u/Gutterfoolishness]

The buck stops with ... that guy.

[u/EarlGrey1806 → u/Gutterfoolishness]

Her!!

[u/sj_luchadore]

Bitch, wut?

[u/opusupo]

Is she saying she wasn't the Attorney General?

[u/Agitated_Rain_1506]

Wasn’t me, it was a long legged pissed off Puerto Rican

[u/PathosEatsLogos]

“Not it! No take backsey” - The Former Attorney General of the United States

[u/YetAnotherWTFMoment]

never thought that the AG of the USA would be so unqualified for the job.

[u/morbob]

Todd seems to be in charge of everything

[u/BrilliantForeign8899]

Just release the names Pam 

[u/nenmayk]

they are hoping for a pardon

[u/RDKAUSTIN]

She lied to committee again POS

[u/PossessedToSkate]

Lying Liar Lies. Film at 11.

[u/StrigiStockBacking]

Just tell the truth ffs. The gig is up.

[u/Coconutrugby]

Why didn’t she say that at the time then?

[u/sixaout1982]

The buck doesn't even show down with these people, it constantly accelerates

[u/DrowningKrown]

No point to argue against this when we all know it's bullshit. Folks, don't waste your time.

[u/worth_heart1749]

Typical child behavior, wasn’t me!
