Because no one cares about Pam Bondi, but the American people care about the Epstein files
Who's going to defend her? She made the administration look bad while also pissing off the public
In n particular, MAGA care about the Epstein files. This is a major crack in their coalition. They spent years throwing around conspiracy theories about pedophile cults secretly running the world. They are obsessed with the Epstein files, and the more Trump tries to obfuscate their contents, the more they have to start wondering what his skin in the game is. We're already seeing it happen with people like MTG publicly turning on him.
It's still a cult. They don't want to suspect dear leader of anything. But the more he works to conceal stuff, the more they're trapped between two things they hold at absolute truths. One of them has to give eventually.
I’d dearly love to believe you but if any group of people are champions of managing cognitive dissonance without addressing it, it’s the MAGA crowd.
Everything has it's limit.
I have yet to see the limit of MAGA voters' stupidity, but I hope you are right.
More pressing, who is going to prosecute her? To date, I've seen zero impulse under any prior administration to prosecute the wrongdoing of outgoing officials.
The closest case has been the half assed effort to get Leticia James on... misreporting a mortgage statement?
Nobody at the highest levels of government and business actually want to fuck with one another. It is always and forever punching down on the plebs.
Congress. They can just impeach her
I mean she could refuse to leave, but then she'd be committing all sorts of crimes on a daily basis
Now Trump definitely won't fire her. He loves criminals who do crimes for him.
No, Trump loves Trump. Everyone else is useful until they're not, at which point they get thrown under the bus or conveniently commit suicide.
Exactly.
No he doesn't... He doesn't give a shit about them. He's abandoned so many loyalists it's crazy
He talks shit about them even. He relishes when they get punished in his name
Hasn't Trump been impeached twice already?
Yes, but really no.
They impeached him, which is the name of the procedure to remove an official from office, but then they didn't have the Senate votes to remove him from office
When has anyone ever?
Us, right now?
This isn't a unicorn. Literally the entire Senate voted to release the Epstein files, that unanimously passed law in the Senate was not followed
Well aware that they'd be redacted down to nothing
It's not going away. Why do you think Congress members have resigned this post month? It's not because they care, it's because they realize being an incumbent is a liability at this point
A lot of the Congresscritters resigning are eyeing higher offices now that they've secured a pension through their five year term of service in the House.
And while this is certainly a shit year for Republican incumbents, the gerrymandering favors Republicans long term. They'll be back, and in greater number, in '28 or '30.
Gerrymandering gives a 5-10 point advantage. If can backfire, and I think it's going to
Year to year can backfire. Long term it is an enormous benefit
