From Joyce Vance, on Substack:
"Pam Bondi has lost control of the most fraught relationship any attorney general has, the one with the director of the FBI who, while he technically works for her, has an enormous amount of power he can leverage for his own purposes. She was seen today at the White House, along with her number two, Deputy AG Todd Blanche, and FBI director Kash Patel. Word is they were there for hours.
It appeared that there was an effort to make Bondi the scapegoat as MAGA outrage over the failure to release a supposed list of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients boiled over on social media. It was definitely knives out. But there was a feeling of a high school blow up to it—Laura Loomer salaciously passed on the gossip about Patel and Bongino being unhappy with what Bondi was doing—than of the highest officials in the Trump administration conducting the nation’s business. If you’d tried to write a farce involving this crew, this scenario might be exactly what you would have come up with." (our emphasis)
Bondi seemed genuinely surprised yesterday when she was told that the lying sexual predator Malignant Fascist has said she could release "whatever she thinks is credible" from the Epstein files, neatly putting it back on her, when he could order the files released in their entirety (but won't because he knows he's in them). She's protecting him, but he's willing to throw her under the bus.
"WIRED previously reported that the video had been stitched together in Adobe Premiere Pro from two video files, contradicting the Justice Department’s claim that it was “raw” footage. Now, further analysis shows that one of the source clips was approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds longer than the segment included in the final video, indicating that footage appears to have been trimmed before release. It’s unclear what, if anything, the minutes cut from the first clip showed." (our emphasis)
Wired's in depth analysis at the link is technical and precise, raising more questions. The more questions, the more this issue will continue to churn in the fever swamps of the far right. We hope that it will bring on the rapid decline of the Malignant Fascist, who stoked the conspiracy for political purposes, never thinking he'd be at the center of the blowback.
UPDATE: The MF's turning on his own cult who continue to focus on the Epstein files. Popcorn!

"Whatever she thinks is credible" = the list after removing him and his supporters. And maybe not even his supporters. Whatever is released, someone better go over it with a fine-toothed comb to look for evidence of editing, like with the video.
ReplyDeleteGood point. I'm also looking forward to how long that proud defiant stare lasts in the headlights. Another thought. does he dump her with the inevitable " I never liked her, too low energy" and bring in Emil Bove?
