Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I wonder if she has enough conscience and self-respect left to just dump the whole dirty mess out to the public.
Yeah, probably not. It’s fun to imagine, though.
No she was involved with the Epstein shit back in Florida decades ago. She's been involved in covering this shit up well before it got to this point.
Source? I'd love to see
She was Florida AG from 2011 to 2019. At any point in there she could have prosecuted Epstein separately from the deal Alex Acosta made in 2008. Plenty of new information was available after that and ignored by the State of Florida under her watch.

Not defending Pam Bondi, but that's quite a bit different from proof she "was involved with the Epstein shit".
She is smart enough, probably, to know he will take her down with him. Either MAGA and the news get distracted with something else, she releases more documents with careful redactions of Trump and other prominent rightwingers, or she gets fired and replaced with someone willing to.
The thing is, it's probably the shiny, dangling carrot of her in a more powerful position that motivates her more than the stick
What's higher than AG for a lawyer?
2 AGs at the same time
A seat in the Supreme Court gets you decades of bribes
I think it's not uncommon that politicians get their law degree and go on to various high positions in government that may not be relevant to those degrees. In this administration, the only thing that matters is loyalty so sky is the limit for her.
1000x this. Lots of his "administration" are total clowns with zero relevant credentials, like Bobby Brainworm.
Dan Bongino the conservative radio host to deputy director of the FBI always pops in my head.
A Supreme Court seat.
