Pam Bondi should be in jail for covering up for Jeffrey Epstein’s heinous crimes!

The survivors deserve justice!!

“Attorney General in name only” Pam Bondi put on a helluva of a one person show Wednesday before the House Judiciary Committee as she was being grilled about Jeffrey Epstein. Bondi ranged from screaming to laughing to delivering bizarre monologue demanding we talk about the Dow Jones breaking 50,000 as opposed to accountability for men who raped children. And as to the substance, Bondi deflected, dodged and served up a stunning level of defensiveness.

The consensus by the corporate media was that she was doing all this in the defense of her beloved Donald Trump. But what those media outlets are missing is that Bondi’s unhinged level of defensives was because she is guilty—and she knows it. Bondi has long protected Epstein and the powerful men who raped children and were trafficked women. She must be criminally investigated to determine if she broke the law doing this!

Before becoming US Attorney General, Bondi served for eight years as Florida’s AG from 2011 to 2019. That is the very state and time that Jeffrey Epstein was running his sprawling child rape and sex trafficking ring. As Trump’s own first term DOJ told us in a 2020 report, after Epstein was released from prison in 2009, he returned to his lavish lifestyle and was able to “continue his abuse of minors.”

The latest Epstein file dump backs that up. For example, there was a 2013 email exchange between Epstein and NY Giants co-owner Steve Tisch in which he asked Epstein about women he was interested in. In one exchange, Tisch asks if the girl is a prostitute or not, writing is she a “pro or civilian?” That means while Bondi was Florida’s top law enforcement officer, Epstein was still engaged in massive sex and child rape ring in her very state!

So why didn’t Bondi investigate and prosecute Epstein? If she had done that in 2011 when she took office, countless children and women would’ve be saved from abuse by Epstein and his powerful friends.

To be clear, there were numerous media reports while Bondi was AG of Florida about Epstein’s abuse of women and girls. For example, in 2015, national headlines were made when Epstein victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre filed documents in a Florida court against Epstein alleging he sexually abused and trafficked her to powerful men, including Prince Andrew, when she was a minor.

And in 2018, The Miami Herald released a bombshell report that “identified about 80 people who say they were molested or otherwise sexually abused by Epstein.” We learned that the “girls — mostly 13 to 16 — were lured to [Epstein’s] pink waterfront mansion” in Palm Springs, Florida after being recruited at “shopping malls, house parties” and other locations. If a newspaper like the Miami Herald could identify all those victims, certainly Bondi as the Attorney General of a large state like Florida had even more resources to locate these victims and investigate Epstein’s crimes.

Even more suspicious is that as Florida’s AG, Bondi very publicly declared that one of her top priorities was investigating and prosecuting sexual predators—especially those who preyed on children. At the time, she announced an initiative focused on “Making Florida a Zero-Tolerance state for Human trafficking.”

In 2013, just two years into her first term as AG , Bondi proudly boasted about the arrest of 15 child sex predators as part of a sting operation known as “Operation e-Guardian.” Bondi declared, “Sadly, sexual predators will use any means available to them, including the Internet, to lure children in order to exploit them. This operation was a great multi-agency collaboration that has brought down 15 child predators.”

And in 2018, Bondi launched a confidential tip website for people to report allegations of past child sex abuse by Catholic priests in Florida. She stated then that any “priest that would exploit a position of power and trust to abuse a child is a disgrace to the church and a threat to society.” Bondi added, “I am calling on victims and anyone with information about potential abuse to please report it to my office.”

Why didn’t Bondi pursue her goal of “Zero-tolerance” for human trafficking when it came to Epstein? Why didn’t she create a confidential tip line for victims of Epstein--the same way she had done for victims of sexual abuse by Catholic priests?!

Simple. Bondi made a conscious choice not to pursue Epstein. The question is why? Did it help her political career to protect the powerful and rich men because in turn they would help her campaigns? (That is a rhetorical question because the answer is obvious.)

We do know that there’s at least one person closely tied to Epstein who supported her politically: Donald J. Trump. In fact, Bondi has been protecting Trump long before she served in the Trump regime. This is the same Bondi who in 2013 as Florida’s AG, was considering investigating Trump University after her offices had received more than 20 complaints from Florida residents that they had been defrauded. However, we learned that just four days after Bondi’s office announced they were considering looking into Trump University, Trump’s charitable foundation wrote a $25,000 check to the Bondi-backing PAC. Bondi then decided to not investigate Trump.

Keep in mind Trump’s own DOJ criminally charged Epstein in 2019 for crimes he had earlier committed years earlier. Obviously, Bondi could’ve done the same. But she never even investigated Epstein in the eight years she was AG from 2011 to 2019 at the very time he was trafficking children and woman in her state.

That is why Bondi’s jaw-dropping defensives on Wednesday during the hearing was not just in the service of protecting Trump. It was about protecting herself. Bondi made a choice to protect Epstein. That is clear. Now we need a criminal investigation into Bondi. The Epstein survivors deserve to know why Bondi put Epstein and his powerful friends over their own safety and well-being?!
