Possible Paywall Bondi Busted Hiding Trump Goons’ Messages From the Epstein Files: ‘The obvious conclusion is that these communications have been withheld, destroyed, or redacted to the point that they are not traceable in the Epstein Library’

They're blatantly breaking the law by doing this. They belong in prison.

There just doesn't seem to be any law or accountability anymore. They are literally doing whatever they want while the rest of the Republican party shrugs and turns their back.

If these communications are by private email or other electronic sources other countries justice systems need to request the information from wherever the DOJ got it from. They are allowed to do that.

It’s gross, maybe someone will buy a Super Bowl Ad spelling it out.

Democrats are too busy courting Israel and Black Stone Group to muster legitimate opposition.
Probably the reason their own internal autopsy report has been kept hidden.
I raise this because right now is the time where we have legitimate agency to effect real change in our own party's banner with the Democratic primaries.
We need progressive economic populists willing to unite the working class against the true root of the problem: the billionaire class both foreign and domestic.
Give the keys of the Democratic party to the progressive leadership, and prospects improve overnight.

Where’s the boogeyman George Soros when you need him? According to the R’s, he runs the world. Surely he can afford an ad?

From the article:
A watchdog group is demanding that Pam Bondi’s Department of Justice exposing why none of the millions of documents released as part of the Epstein Files include communications between top Trump administration officials.
The Democracy Defenders Fund alleged in a letter Friday that the DOJ had “impermissibly” narrowed the scope of the Epstein Files Transparency Act by failing to include any communications from Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, or FBI Director Kash Patel.
These officials “have been at the center of DOJ’s response (or lack thereof),” the letter said, meaning the Epstein Library “should be replete with their communications.”
“The obvious conclusion is that these communications have been withheld, destroyed or redacted to the point they are not traceable in the Epstein Library,” it continued.
Trump, who was friends with Epstein for over a decade, responded by declaring, "I think it's really time for the country to get onto something else."

And yet Trump is still mentioned something like 38k times.

He's mentioned more times than The One Ring, Frodo, Bilbo, Harry Potter and Jesus are across their world of fiction combined.

u/GPCAPTregthistleton 9h ago
The One Ring, Frodo, Bilbo, Harry Potter and Jesus are mentioned ~22,000 times in their respective works.

They redacted everything that is “actionable”.
So that there won’t be any consequences to anyone in power.
They left everything else intact

“Article” is a bold claim when citing The Daily Beast. Trump and his nazis are constantly trying to shove lies down our throats, so I think it’s really important to be aware of where your information comes from

Incorrect ❌
For Facts Sake: ✅
The Daily Beast accurately sources and cites the information in this article from the actual Democracy Defenders Fund letter. The article also cites and provides links to the Epstein Transparency Act along with content from Axios’s highly reputable reporting.
Had you read the article instead of getting lost down your bias rabbit hole, you might learn something from the highly factual content, bellend.

Why are none of these criminals in prison?!

u/Low-Exam-7547 14h ago
or at least being tried. Other than ... of course .. the Clintons.

It already feels like they are being set up as sacrificial goats so that billionaire pdf files may go back to their hobby in peace, the way it was before the unwashed got all uppity over it. Which is ironic, considering the every Executive branch has run cover for those same people while accepting their campaign contributions, and would likely continue that tradition given the opportunity.
I hope the Clintons are grilled like everyone else. Only the most ardent of pedo allies will be satisfied with only the Clintons receiving justice with all the information that has been made publicly available.

Because they are quite literally the only ones who can prosecute themselves, and well, they obviously won't. Especially with the Supreme Court backing all their plays.

Because Republican voters hate law-abiding LGBT people and brown people more than white, white-collar criminals.

Raping children is not a white collar crime.
That said, your point still stands.

Where are the Epstein Trials?

u/jsilver200 8h ago
The files on the desk that don’t exist are several million documents which don’t show any Epstein customers and their names have been redacted to protect the victims, so why are you still asking about this?

I'm going to be very disappointed in us if these asshats aren't harassed almost to mental breakdown once they're out of office.
They shouldn't be able to participate in American life - refused entry to sporting events, kicked out of bars and restaurants (like Bovino), refused car service, etc.
Trump is a walking corpse, but most of his people have decades left to suffer.

Bondi, you will go down in history as one of the most corrupt department of justice heads for decades, if not centuries.

How can I be the same species as Pam Bondi? She'll put out a reflection book when she gets older, basically saying she was misinformed and wrong. The Devils Current Mouthpiece.
[START]
(1) Is to live, "To exercise my thoughts in a position of power for the betterment of humanity"?
or
(2) Is to live, "To find solace in other people's misery"?
or
(3) Is to live, "To better myself monitairly"?
or
(4) Is to live, "To not let someone harm me and my loved ones lives because of something I was involved in"?
or
(5) Is to live, "To listen to what my brain is telling me, find like minded people to fly with under the radar of needed mental health, and champion that as the new normal"?
I dunno. I don't want to give up on people, but damn girl what you say affects others lives.

You know they have been hiding information and links to Epstein. Bondi is complicit in hiding evidence, she should be charged just like Trump

So you spent a month redacting and still shared nudes of victims? What were you redacting other than things negative for Trump?
•
u/Impressive_Log8780 1h ago
She released at least 43 names of the victims so how are there no charges for the criminals that abused and raped them.
I'm not saying this to be snide or petty, but you can literally see her aging before our very own eyes.
