Pam Bondi is still pretending she's on the verge of a big reveal about the crimes of deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Last week, Donald Trump's new attorney general and a clutch of grifty MAGA "influencers" pretended they had unearthed a trove of information about Epstein that they falsely claimed had been concealed by the previous administration. Within hours after the influencers stood outside the White House and waved binders specially made for the occasion labeled "Epstein Files," it was revealed that the stunt was as empty as the reality TV deitrius that inspired it. QAnon-drunk MAGA social media users believed they were going to get stories about prominent Democrats and major Hollywood stars engaging in child sacrifice. When all they received was confirmation of what was already known about Epstein's decades of abusing teenage girls — which is hardly considered a real crime in Trump's GOP — they couldn't hide their disappointment, whining that the "Epstein Files" must be "fake."
Bondi, however, has not given up stringing these people along with false hopes that all their QAnon fantasies are about to be proved true. She and Trump's newly appointed FBI director, Kash Patel, had a showy exchange on X, in which both pretended they would soon produce "a comprehensive report" with "no cover-ups, no missing documents, and no stone left unturned." Earlier this week, Bondi declared she now had a "truckload" of documents, insinuating, no doubt falsely, that there are huge revelations to come.
