"Since pretty much day one of the second Trump administration, United States Attorney General Pam Bondi has rarely been able to withdraw her foot from her mouth for more than a few moments before the next public humiliation comes along and crams it back up there."
"It was only a month or so in when her Justice Department infamously handed out binders labeled "The Epstein Files: Phase 1" to a group of 15 far-right political activists cosplaying as journalists, only for those poor saps-including Libs of TikTok creator Chaya Raichik-to quickly realize that said binders contained a sum total of zero new pieces of information."
"Waiting until the very day of the release to make the announcement, Bondi's Justice Department not-so-shockingly revealed that it would not in fact be releasing all of the Epstein Files on Dec. 19, as required by law, and would instead continue to dribble out hundreds of thousands of (heavily redacted) additional files over the course of coming weeks."
Pam Bondi and the Justice Department repeatedly mishandled Epstein-related transparency, beginning with the distribution of binders titled "The Epstein Files: Phase 1" that contained no new information. The Department moved from promising major revelations to denying the existence of an Epstein client list within months. Bondi faced judicial criticism for questionable appointments of U.S. attorneys. A statutory deadline required full release of Epstein Files by Dec. 19, but the Justice Department announced on the deadline that it would not release all files and would instead dribble out hundreds of thousands of heavily redacted additional documents over coming weeks, prompting lawmakers to threaten repercussions.
