New US Attorney General Pam Bondi has teased America with the release of something huge in connection to Jeffrey Epstein. So far, she has not delivered.
Bondi told Fox’s Jesse Watters on Wednesday, February 26, that she had 200 pages on her desk for review and that it would “make you sick.” She even called it “breaking news.” The big release planned for Thursday, February 27, was supposed to be something that would reveal how far the influential billionaire and convicted sex offender’s particular brand of rot extended and force others who abused young women and children to face justice, no matter how influential they may be – not just flight logs and redacted lists that reveal little and prove less.
But when the Department of Justice finally released “Phase 1” of what it calls “The Epstein Files,” it was predominantly just redacted lists, some contacts from Epstein’s phone, and flight logs that, for the most part, had already been made public during earlier investigations.
As if to foreshadow the disappointing contents of “The Epstein Files: Phase 1,” a group of 15 conservative influencers emerged from the White House on Thursday to pose for cringeworthy photos with their binders. None of them immediately made public the full contents of said binders – nor did the administration. It was only later that the DOJ officially released the information to the public – and, lo and behold, there wasn’t anything new of much substance.
Of the ten files published, one was a partially redacted contact book; one was a list of items confiscated as evidence during the investigation; one was a 254-item numbered list under the heading “Masseuses” that was entirely redacted – as in, one big block of black beside a long column of numbers. And the other seven were flight logs, most of which had already been made public years ago.
In short, Pam Bondi didn’t drop the “breaking news” bombshell she had teased to Jesse Watters; she bombed what should have been a revealing document drop.
