    There have been dozens, if not more, of impeachable offenses Trump has committed and they don’t care. Why would they care about this, which helps their dear leader?

      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.

        Who’s going to defend her?

        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.

              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

              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

                  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

      The only thing the military should be doing is locking up the administration for crimes against humanity
