Pam Bondi's screw-up with Phase 1 of the Epstein Files

It appears that Bondi bungled "Phase 1" of the Epstein Files release. Her office caused the mess with the "Conservative Influencers" at the White House today.

Good evening, my friends.

I posted the text below as an update to my earlier article, but I think it’s worth another post because it seems to show that Pam Bondi bungled “Phase 1” of the release of the Epstein Files.

The National Pulse has an autopsy of the “conservative influencer” mess at the White House today:

Instead, Attorney General Pam Bondi and her team are being blamed very clearly in at least six conversations I’ve had this afternoon. Again, they gave no heads-up to either the influencers attending or White House staff about their intentions to distribute binders of information that contained little new information, frustrating both the administration and the general public.

I understand that a number of high-profile figures met with social media influencers this morning in another White House initiative to integrate alternative media and voices into the Trump administration’s media distribution channels.

The morning meetings included stops by Vice President J.D. Vance and President Donald Trump. Social media influencers also had a quick tour of the Oval Office, where FBI Director Kash Patel, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, and other members of the Cabinet and senior administration officials were present. President Trump is understood to have handed out White House memorabilia such as Presidential Challenge Coins and pens.

As the group moved from the Oval Office, several of the influencers present held up their binders for the assembled press, most of whom were there to cover the British Prime Minister’s visit to the White House.

Only after this media moment were the social media influencers told that AG Bondi did not want the public to know about the distribution of the binders, a caveat that came too late. One of the sources I spoke to called the entire incident a “clusterfuck,” with many of them resenting the fact that social media influencers are getting the blame for not releasing more information when they were asked not to, but only after the assembled media had taken pictures and video of them.

Rather than a conspiracy by the social media influencers, this event looks to have been a failed attempt to curry social media favor by AG Bondi, who scrambled on Thursday afternoon to demand the FBI release more files. This despite her claiming that she had the Epstein client lists “on her desk” in an interview with Jesse Watters of Fox News this week.

So there are three things we can glean from this mess:

1. Bondi did NOT have all of the Epstein Files despite what she said in that interview.

2. It was her office that caused the idiotic mess with the “conservative influencers” at the White House today.

3. Bondi wanted to avoid having the public know that the “conservative influencers” had received the binders.

I have to admit that, at the moment, I am not impressed with Bondi at all. If she didn’t have all the damned files, why did she pretend she did in that interview? And why would the AG of the United States give a damn about kissing the ass of the so-called “Conservative Influencers?” 🤔

I am wondering now if Trump made a mistake appointing her as Attorney General. I will withhold final judgment for now, but what happened today was not only an unforced error, it also suggests that she is not a serious person. No AG should be currying favor with a bunch of Con Inc. personalities on social media.

And what was Bondi thinking by trying to hide the fact that she had given the “influencers” the binders in the first place? Such behavior is not “transparent” and reeks of a back-door attempt to sway these so-called opinion-makers. As I have said before, all information in the Epstein Files should be available to the public, with no “influencers” as filters whatsoever. The only exception I make to this are the identities of the victims, which should be withheld to protect them, since they have already suffered enough trauma.

The Epstein Files are one of the most serious situations the Trump administration needs to deal with since they likely contain information about many wealthy, famous, powerful people. Thus, they need to be dealt with in a comprehensive, professional way that puts all the information in front of the American people.

Get it together, Pam, or step down as Attorney General and let Trump put somebody serious into that job. There’s no time for these kinds of stupid mistakes, and you should not give a damn what a bunch of social media personalities think of you.
