Pam Bondi has literally been tossed in the trash

On 2 April, Donald Trump sacked attorney general Pam Bondi. Her sacking came as a great shock. Not because she was competent or deserving of her position, but because it meant Trump has found someone else who’s willing to make themselves legally culpable for improperly handling the Epstein Files.

Now, we’re once again seeing how Trump repays those who tarnish their reputation to protect him:

Pam Bondi binned

This is how the BBC reported on Bondi going:

The president’s frustration had been growing with her leadership at the justice department – particularly over her handling of the Epstein files which have become a reputational liability for the administration.

This is a bit rich from Trump, to be honest. His big issue wasn’t Bondi; it’s the fact that he’s personally named thousands of times in the Epstein Files.

While we’re sure there are people who could have pulled off a more competent cover-up than Bondi, the question is who would want to expose themselves like that? Because the task at hand is risking jail time to protect a senile creep of a president who’s accused of the worst crimes imaginable.

You could argue that Bondi did a lot to prevent the files coming out, but there was only so much she could achieve (this isn’t praise):

Bondi didn’t only provide cover on Epstein either, as More Perfect Union reported:

Under Bondi the Justice Department:
– Dropped 23,000 criminal investigations including white collar and corporate crime
– Halted 159 corporate enforcement actions
– Settled the lawsuit to break up LiveNation/Ticketmaster
– Let 18 companies avoid $3.1 billion in penalties

The BBC also wrote:

Trump has often demanded unrestricted control of the justice department to pursue investigations into targets of his choosing, even when he was warned there was no evidence to do so.

He addressed that directly in a post directed at Bondi – saying the delays in those cases were “killing our reputation and credibility”.

The guy replacing Bondi is Todd Blanche who has suggested that Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged co-conspirators are safe:

The above is not true, by the way, and Blanche is already facing scrutiny:

Oh, and just because Bondi is gone, that doesn’t mean she won’t still be legally responsible for her handling of the Epstein Files or other matters

Whether this translates into actual accountability is anyone’s guess.

As many have said, crime is essentially legal in the US now if you’re one of the elites.

Good riddance

The following image is from the same hearing as the above. The women with their hands up are victims of Jeffrey Epstein. And the reason they have their hands up is because they’re answering affirmatively that Bondi’s justice department ignored them:

So yes, this disgraced politician does belong in the bin.

And by ‘the bin’, we of course mean ‘prison’.
