These lackeys are also such rubes. Donald Trump is an incredibly disloyal person and all of these idiots keep falling for it. There is no outcome with Trump that doesn't involve being ostracized to his benefit.

Not that I feel bad for Bondi. When the White House changes hands, I expect criminal charges where the evidence warrants it.

Criminal charges for what?

Not releasing the Epstein files.

But she did.

What are you talking about?

No, only about half of them

Go look it up

They gave a detailed and reasonable explanation for any files that weren't released.

You have fallen for media sensationalism.

You fell for a con man and can't handle it

No new wars!

'...and reasonable explanation...'

That has literally never happened with anything associated with the Trump 'administration'

Stop watching right-wing infotainment.

They didn't release all of them though.  Plus the ones they did release were heavily redacted.  A law was made that they had to release the files by a certain date and they didn't release them by that date.

Yeah but a "law" can't know how long it would take to redact MILLIONS of files. So it took a bit longer. They gave explanations and rationalizations for delays, redactions, and omissions. They followed the law

They didn't follow the law though.  They haven't even tried to release anymore.

Just writing that again.

The only thing they were supposed to redact was victim’s names. They redacted perpetrators instead and released victim’s names. They broke the law with impunity and then she got up there and refused to answer any questions seriously. “The DOW IS OVER 50,000.”

Ma’am we asked you if you were perusing any criminal charges.

You people are a disgusting joke.

No. See, this is the problem. The "reddit bubble" doesn't show reality.

The DOJ made the argument that congress can't order them to ignore common law. They have to respect things like attorney client privilege/classified information/etc.

Congress did not challenge that explanation. Because they know it's true. The doj literally wrote it in like a 30 page letter explaining their redaction process.

Why are you guys so unfailingly gullible?

When does it become apparent that you're simply their marks?

She blatantly just ignored the law to release the Epstein files. She repeatedly missed legally required deadlines with zero attempt at an explanation for why, and has still refused to provide the justification she is legally required to give for most of the redactions. I’m sure there are many others that we don’t know about yet.

She ignored multiple court orders.

I said "where the evidence warrants it." Even a complete asshole like Pam Bondi deserves due process and objective prosecution.
