Pam Bondi in February: The Epstein client list is sitting on my desk right now to review.

Pam Bondi today: There is no Epstein client list and no "further disclosure" of Epstein-related material "would be appropriate or warranted."

no "further disclosure" of Epstein-related material "would be appropriate or warranted."

Why would she be covering up for Bubba?

The last time the Epstein files were to be disclosed by Pam Bondi but weren't, CIA released an unclassified UFO report from the USSR. The distraction worked; Joe Rogaine was talking about the 'nothing-burger' ad nauseum. Now CIA released a small batch of JFK assassination records, one showing that CIA was covertly monitoring Lee Harvey Oswald before JFK's assassination (something they denied for decades). CIA officer George Joannides used the alias 'Howard Mark Gebler' to monitor Lee Harvey Oswald and pro-Castro groups: www.cia.gov

We'll see how effective this latest distraction from CIA will be to make us forget about Jeffrey Epstein.

Endnote: I'm sure Ghislaine Maxwell (USMS # 02879-509) knows more than she has admitted to. She is in Tallahassee FCI and will be released 17 July 2037.

Schrdinger's Epstein client list. It's simultaneously on Pam Bondi's desk and also non-existent.

I've stopped caring about this topic because I suspect it's largely made up bulls(*& that was used to rile up the rubes. It was all about insinuation and suggestion, not any real knowledge or reality of a list or known information.

Even if a list as released at this point, I probably wouldn't put much trust in it since any name could be put on it for whatever reasons the people releasing it want or, conversely, names removed or omitted at will.

The Epstein client list mysteriously vanished as soon as they found Trump's name on it.

Must have fallen off of Blondi's desk and into the trash. Those things happen. Oh well. And Epstein is still dead. Case closed...

Some Republicans and conspiracy theorists wanted to stick it to Bill Clinton with the Epstein files, but Pam Bondi realized it will also expose sexual maniac Dummkopf Trumpf, so now she attempts this sudden and clumsy legerdemain.

"Implying" This is why you are a joke. She literally said "it is on my desk right now" in an interview on the news. You saw her face, her lips moving, her voice, yet somehow she just implied that she had it. It is not egg on her face, it is the same dirty orange smear you wear here everyday from kissing Trumps ---.

1) There is a List

2) Trump's name was obviously on it.

3) Trump had motive and opportunity to have Epstein killed.

The Biden admin did not "disappear" the list, though, as AG Bondi has said that it was on her desk.

And, if Pres Trump's name were on the list, wouldn't the Biden admin have published it, according to the "lawfare" allegations your current alias so often says about that admin?

Well, it all depends on your point-of-view-
"life is a comedy to those who think, a tragedy to those who feel."

Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.

Tragedy is like strong acid; it dissolves away all but the very gold of truth. Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.

This is what I found regarding Bondi and a client list:

Asked if the Department of Justice would be releasing a list of Epstein's clients, Bondi said on Friday, February 21: "It's sitting on my desk right now to review. That's been a directive by President Trump."

Yes, Your Honor, thank you.

Just one more question, Ms. Bondi. Back in February, you said you had a long list of Mr. Epstein's clients. Yet today you say there is no such thing. My question to you, ma'am, is, were you lying then or are you lying now?

Let me give you a hint:

You do things like run away when asked to defend Trump's cuts to the National Weather Service.

You won't even say that you can't defend them. You just go away.

Those cuts occur in October and are unrelated to this flash flood because they haven't taken place yet.

Second, you always seem taken aback when your ignorance or stupidity is called out and treated as such. It would be funnier if you weren't so confident and loud about it.

Why don't you try taking Trump's balls out of your mouth long enough to actually look into something before speaking?

Well over 1,000 NWS employees were canned immediately following Trump's inauguration.

Curious that no one wanted to put their signature on the FBI Memo making this announcement. ( www.justice.gov )


Stated differently, the FBI memo is unsigned.

No one seems to want to take responsibility for publishing it.

Why?

Its unverified this has been released to the public.

So what ... it didn't have any affect on the quality of forecast or the warnings.

Tom Fahy, the legislative director for the National Weather Service Employees Organization, a union that represents government employees, said the San Antonio weather forecasting office did not have two of its top positions filled " a permanent science officer (a role that conducts training and is in charge of implementing new technology) or a warning coordination meteorologist (who coordinates with the media and is the public face of the office), though there are employees acting in those leadership roles. Overall, Fahy said, the offices had enough meteorologists to respond to the event.

"The WFOs [weather forecasting offices] had adequate staffing and resources as they issued timely forecasts and warnings leading up to the storm," Fahy said Saturday, but he added that he was concerned about the unfilled senior positions and vacuums of leadership.
