President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Saturday to defend his Attorney General Pam Bondi after major figures within the MAGA movement attacked her following the decision not to release the Epstein files.
“What’s going on with my ‘boys’ and, in some cases, ‘gals?’” Trump wrote on his social media platform. “They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB!”
The president went on to urge his supporters to unify, saying he doesn’t “like what’s happening.”
“We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and ‘selfish people’ are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein,” said Trump.

I'd like some evidence of the fantastic job she's doing, if it's not too much trouble.

There are FOIA requests that would provided most of the information. The FBI is required by law to release the information. Nobody needs to resign. Just follow FOIA law, and stop stonewalling. It's not about Epstein so much as that we have been lied to, and it was an intelligence operation. Trump dodged a bullet by not having anything to do with Epstein. If he had done so, the IC would have had all they needed to keep him from ever being President. There was no cash blackmail, the blackmail was the control that was given to the IC of important individuals. The CIA provided all the financings. That is what I believe happened.

‘Let Pam Bondi do her job’
What's her job?
That's the question.
Bring light, transparency and justice?
Or protect powerful perverts?
What's her job?
That's the question.

Okay, some of us are going to be on the other side of this on the Epstein mess. We'll just have to live with it.
We have much more important things to do and problems to solve. We can all agree that Epstein was slime and tried to use his connections to enjoy his disgusting life style and curry favor with those in power. Sounds like he got away with it in this life. I'll leave it to the Guy upstairs to deal with it in the afterlife, because that's far above my pay grade (although I do offer assistance and advice, but He has declined it in the past -- seems He has more experience in this Deity business than I do.)

Sometimes President Trump tries the patience of people who support him. There are other times when he outright insults their intelligence. This is one of those times.
Put aside all the reservations others have already raised above. Someone should gently remind the President that posting in all caps makes him look infantile. And that referring to his own administration as "PERFECT" [sic] makes him look ridiculous. Finally, placing words inside scare quotes (e.g. 'selfish people') doesn't emphasize those words; it implies the opposite: that they were not intended to be taken literally.

Evidence? Carolyn Leavitt was clearly lying when asked about this on Monday. On top of her game through hundreds of hours of questioning since January, she was squirming to get this behind her and move on.

I'll continue to back President Trump. Look what he's accomplished in such a short time. And honestly, I doubt any real MAGA are angry with him. Sounds like more made up stories from the left. Another thing, why is this Epstein thing such a big story? It was a bunch of perverts having sex on an island. A sign in page was published at the beginning of all this and Bill Clinton's name was there several times. I even heard Hillary was there. Now that's just gross. Let it play out. Give it time.

Cannot access “Independent UK” article. A domestic source reports that President Trump had a lengthy post on Truth Social Saturday that addressed the Epstein furor which posited a very interesting observation/question as to why, if there is/was ANYTHING in the “Epstein Files” that he attributes to having been “written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden administration ... that could have hurt the MAGA Movement, why didn’t they use it?” Indeed, an excellent point. Are MAGA supporters being played? President Trump referenced the “FAKE Hillary Clinton/Christopher Steel Dossier” that was used on him and suggests his “so-called friends are playing right into their hands.”
MAGA supporters may do well to reflect on the numerous left-wing throngs that gather to protest conservative events such as the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit in Tampa, Florida that are well organized, with appropriate signage, raising the question of possibly being financially supported. As for why Ghislaine Maxwell is incarcerated, as absurd as it seems and probably is, perhaps for her own safety. Although “unfortunate” things happen in detection facilities, perhaps she is under special protection orders.

The majority of people who believe that there's some hidden evidence believe it because they get told this almost every day by certain influencers and personalities on the right. They sit on their shows, they make their posts, and they act like they have some kind of insider knowledge, sime proof. They don't work for the government, and they have no clue what the government does or does not have. They have been doing this for so long. And they have so many people whipped into a frenzy for really no reason. Whatever evidence there was has likely long ago been destroyed or distorted. I find it funny that there are people who think that the swamp would leave behind evidence that could incriminate them and their cronies, to be used by a man that they have spent the last decade trying to destroy.
And just one more example of what i'm talking about. Forget about the Epstein files for a moment. Back before Trump decided to drop those bombs on Iran's nuclear sides, Steve Bannon said on his show for days, saying that Trump was being drawn into World War 3 by Netanyahu, acting as if Trump was too dumb to know how to handle Netanyahu. Hmm, just like with this little incident, he kept saying this was gonna destroy MAGA. When it played out differently, of course, then he acted like he was all gung ho and wow, we knew Trump could do this. I'm personally sick.I have quite a few of them at this point. If anything destroys MAGA, it will be these people who foment this garbage day in and day out, and get people to a place where they do believe they're being lied to and where they're angry about everything, instead of looking at all the freaking amazing things that have been happening for the last six months

Whatever Bondi had on her desk apparently was so important that it is worth a high political price to keep it under wraps. The public understands this. Which makes it a very difficult problem for Trump.

In his Truth Our President Trump wrote: “Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration”? If there were any files the Communists at FBI had years to massage them against US.
Bongino must return to work. Many of us work at large institutions and have to put up with a lot, but cannot die on every hill. It is better to be on the inside than out looking in. We have to march through the institutions like termites if we hope to change them. Trump is God’s gift to the world and the time for US to work as a team is now. After the midterms it will be too late, we all know MAGA has to be enacted in only two years.

For all of Trump's political acumen, he doesn't seem to be showing it here. First he condescendingly replies to a reporter's genuine question. Now he's taken to insulting his supporters. He should be careful. Yes, he's accomplished a lot. So did Nixon, but Nixon is only remembered for Watergate.

Trump is doing so very much good, God Bless him but he's 0 for 3 when it comes to picking Attorneys General. If Bondi wasn'rt so Compromised ther'd be 100s of the Biden's Admin up on Charges by now. Moreover, Denying a list exists that was the center of a court case filed by Prof Dershowitz is beyond STUPID!

As much as I love Trump and all the things he has accomplished, it is clear that he is too insulated by his staff and some information does not reach him.
This is the second time he has been clueless as to how passionate MAGA feels about an issue.
The first was about those covid vaccines that he kept bragging about. He had to get booed at a rally to wake up on that issue. Hopefully someone from outside his bubble will be able to reach him this time.

Psychological warfare has been used against "We the People," my entire life. The Mockingbird media said the same thing from national down to local news keeping us divided. I love the passion I am reading from posters. Pull back from the Psychological games to divide ad ask yourself how you would handle taking down the deep state that is embedded in the FBI/CIA/DOJ? Would you set traps to clean house first? What good would it do to put evidence in an ongoing criminal investigation out in the public before trials begin? Would it comprise the needed conversions of people who were once thought to be untouchable? What happens when democrat voters start demanding justice? Kafabe is a tool President Trump uses with precision. Sit back and watch the show. President Trump has put the right people in the right places to keep.their mouths closed and clean house. We aren't supposed to know what Pam Bondi is really doing.

Re #3 - as I posted on another article about the Epstein files Judicial watch has a lawsuit against the DOJ and FBI on their FOIA request for the Epstein records. Please see:
https://www.judicialwatch.org/epstein-records-possible-release/
For everyone's information, just because you submit a FOIA request to the feds does not mean you get all the records. The FOIA law (5 USC 552) has nine legitimate reasons or exemptions not to release certain information like people's home addresses, names of witnesses, etc. Hopefully agencies apply these redactions for a legitimate reason(s).

We are being played and we don't like it. OK, so a client list probably doesn't exist. But that doesn't mean there are no phone books or call log histories out there considering the vast number of people involved even peripherally with Epstein. Trump's explanation for not releasing names is understandable. He says over the years an enormous amount of innocent people may have attended the same dinners as Epstein or shared group photos. Their lives could be irreparably damaged by casual social interaction--not guilt.
His refusal to release any names in order to protect the innocent however, is at the same time providing shelter to powerful elites such as Royalty, international celebrities, and political donors with the deepest pockets. Those are the names we want but Bondi won't budge. We are most definitely being played.

#23, My money is on Tom Fitton. He hasn't given up. He understands the exemption better than most and they have not stopped his pursuit. If there is nothing there then why not give him what he wants? They are not saying they don't have it they fighting against Fitton getting it. Judicial Watch has been around for a long time and they are the best at what they do so the war is not over yet. We have been told that we are not going to get any of the Epstein records so if anyone wants to get past this then make a donation to Judicial Watch. I am not in any way affiliated with JD/Fitton.

Sorry. Doesn't matter how many good things you do or have done, you will be remembered as the President who turned his back on justice for the American people and protected child abusers. There is no coming back from that. Ask yourself what Richard Nixon is remembered for.
You now are a full fledged member of the Deep State. Shame on you for lying to us.

In addition, #2, why was Epstein in jail?
#11, agreed. She showed her true colors when she helped frame Zimmerman. Saw the way the wind was blowing and just loves the limelight. She's toxic.
There is no "Epstein list". It was always a honeypot operation. The list is the CIA/Mossad list and too many of PDJT's donors are on it.

It really is no wonder we get terrible politicians, I say after reading a lot of the above comments. I have been looking forward to full disclosure on Epstein. It was always difficult for me to believe that the files hadn't been purged by the FBI- or whoever- over the last decade. But really, I have been hearing about this case for so many years I don't know if I can sort out the innuendo, blathering, falsities and nonsense to have a real solid baseline of what I "know" about the case. I suppose that is what Bondi should address if in fact there is "nothing to see here." Of course there's something to see here. Mike Benz seems to have a fairly encyclopedic knowledge of the affair and says for example that Epstein was very involved in the Iran Contra gun running matter. So that alone is something to see. Benz also says he does not believe that Epstein was blackmailing anyone, that it wasn't a blackmail operation but rather that Epstein was involved at high levels facilitating intelligence operations both kinetic and nonkinetic. And just because your name was in Epstein's "black book" doesn't mean you were a participant on his island or elsewhere.
Before I throw President Trump overboard into Deep State Hell I want to hear more from Mike Benz and Whitney Webb and John Soloman and Miranda Devine. Perhaps I'll read the Whitney Webb 2 volume set about Epstein. Maybe Epstein himself was the only convictable perp.
And even if it's true that there is a cover up, then maybe "politics." We didn't get everything we wanted in the Big Beautiful Bill because "politics." Politics is a reality. I'm not a big fan of Bondi- she comes across as somewhat floundering to me. But she's won 12 cases at the US Supreme Court so far. And many other things too.
So anyway, maybe I don't know the "Truth" about the Kennedy assassination, whether Bush blew up the world trade center, the TWA flight the US maybe shot down over New York, the Big Bang theory, whether trade deficits matter, etc etc, but thank God Kamel A Hairass didn't win the election. I am grateful for our blessings.

Trump also said that Lindsey Graham is a great friend who has supported him always. Say whaaat?
Nobody believes the official version that Trump is peddling. Nobody. Some – even here – are trying to remain loyal. But it is a strain.
In choosing Bondi, Trump is turning away from MAGA. He is undermining his support. The online discussion boards are filled with disgust and anger.
I voted for Trump three times and have been an avid supporter. But this has been a shock to me. He has revealed himself to be not we thought he was.
Unless he does a sudden about face – which I highly doubt – he has destroyed MAGA. The most promising movement in modern times.

#30: Trump hasn't destroyed MAGA but he's made it wobbly. As others have said, it's not the hill to die on, but I've become skeptical. On other matters, DJT is doing a swell job, and in just 6 months.

I reckon I'm simply a life-long conservative, neither a MAGA boy nor girl, but I don't believe the angst is about the deceased Epstein, as the president indicated, but about promises clearly made and evidently not kept. I also thought it was curious when Bondi made her public statement about releasing information from 'files on her desk awaiting her review.' Perhaps even a cursory review of the files (Abstract/Summary) would have caused her to issue quite a different statement.

If Epstein isn’t important why did the MSM run with it 24x7 when he was alive and a victim was suing one of his “clients?”
As to Pam Bondi’s veracity, whatever happened to the FBI Files release on Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy? She claimed they’d be released by about 3 months ago… she must be having a super busy Fox News schedule these days talking about current arrests.
