That assumes you know the cost of exposing the file. Pray tell - what IS that cost which can be easily borne for the sheer pleasure of poking fun at some rich pedophiles. We are all curious - please tell us.

I don’t believe we should value an alliance with Israel if they are ok trafficking American children for sexual abuse to leverage American politicians and businessmen.

How does that arrangement even setting aside the horrible abuse benefit America?

An ally who is willing to do that isn’t an ally, they are potentially a threat.

Sahara dust = no hurricanes.

I’ll take all the dust I can get until early November.

This implies corrupt elements wanted him dead.

This is true.

bad as that is, it would be even worse if the entire agency was the Keystone Kops.

This is also true unfortunately.

No mobile drone protection.
No defensive drones.
No cohesive communication network to share with local resources.
Obvious gaps in close protection.
Blind spots in counter sniper coverage.
Agents carrying sidearms rather than military grade firearms (mp5, etc)
God knows what else we don’t know about.

Any semi competent attack would’ve succeeded and he would be better off firing USSC completely and having Delta Force or a private contractor run security until that agency like so many others was rebuilt from the ground up using military assets, tactics, tech and strategy.

If your system is predicated on leveraging child rape to blackmail people into doing what you want you have an evil system.

If you find yourself suggesting we don’t need to prosecute child rapists because it’s politically inconvenient to your donors you aren’t fit to lead.

It’s as simple as that and anyone including the president who wants to sit on that side of the issue can **** off.

This isn’t a grey issue. It’s black and white. Child rape and covering for those who were involved in it is unequivocally horrible and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible in every single possible situation without exception regardless of who or what “greatest allied nation” was responsible for it.

Tells me this is Trump not Bondi who wanted this to go away.

He would happily run over Bondi if need be but no one on the right will openly go against Trump.

The @realDonaldTrump call out speaks volumes IMO.

I feel like it's FUBAR, but there is no fixing it quickly, so everyone should move on. I really don't understand Bongino here. Why sign off on that memo that there is nothing? And if there is nothing, why is he mad at Bondi? Because her inconsistent statements make them look bad?

The FBI doesn't have the evidence anymore.

The DOJ has or had the evidence.

What the DOJ chooses to do or not do with that evidence, assuming all of it still exists, is the prerogative of the AG who serves the President.

Bongino could well have been shown limited evidence intended to support the conclusion that Epstein did in fact kill himself only to find out that DOJ was holding back evidence as they have in the past to support predetermined narratives.

Ask yourself why Bibi was in the WH for the third time after the Iran conflict was over just as this was blowing up?

Its extremely likely that the Epstein files directly prove that Mossad was running that op and had Epstein killed in his cell on US soil.

For a sitting US president to implicate Israel beyond a shadow of a doubt of sex trafficking US girls to run a blackmail op that's still ongoing involving former presidents, congress and senior business leaders is a political matter, not just a judicial issue.

They were almost certainly told to stand down. Whether that's a result of political threats from compromised people in the US (BBB for Epstein and Ukraine funding), from Mossad/Israel against senior US officials or just a political decision by Trump to let it go is for us to speculate but we simply cant say what is what beyond the fact that something nuclear happened with regard to this case at the highest levels and its shaken the administration to its very core.

I think hes just italian and irish not that it matters either way to me.

Pam Bondi is a pass through, doing what she’s told.

Entirely possible.

We don’t have enough information to say for sure.

But again. I don’t have reason to trust her.

Bongino has his entire brand and personal reputation on the line here.

quote:

---

It's very possible they didn't get all the evidence.

---

Absolutely possible if not probable.

quote:

---

It's also extremely possible Epstein actually killed himself.

---

My brother in Christ, let’s be serious.

If he killed himself why would they be going through all this to obfuscate the facts related to the death?

People don’t delete tapes or have guards disappear when they would’ve supported a narrative that’s beneficial to them,
