GOP senators warn Bondi not to slow-walk release of Epstein files

Source: The Hill

Republican senators are warning Attorney General Pam Bondi not to slow-walk the public release of records and documents related to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein following votes by the House and Senate demanding the documents.

The calls come amid speculation that the Justice Department may cite ongoing investigations or other reasons to hold back material.

Bondi on Wednesday said that "new information" obtained by investigators had spurred the Justice Department to reverse its earlier decision to close investigations related to Epstein.

Democrats are warning that new investigations into high-profile associates of Epstein, such as former President Clinton and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, could be cited as justification to withhold documents or videos of Epstein's mansion in Manhattan.

Some of their donors are getting pissed of with it, and if t keeps on the way he is going, he may cost them the next few elections that are coming up.

..since when does Bondi have any fear of the Senate or House?

Technically, Congress has constitutional and statutory controls over the AG but they have yet to enforce any of the controls. She's violated her oath, violated the Constitution, violated the law and thumbed her nose at Congressional committee members. I highly doubt she's losing sleep over empty Senator warnings.

and many of these republican senators do. True, their more rabid voters believe only dems are in the files, and the idiotic nonsense that t was actually an undercover superhero agent really working to bring j down; but their voters have been even more pissed off than dems about the files not being released.

There may be missing minutes in all of them like the video of Epstein's cell the night he supposedly hanged himself.

If she does, it implicates her as a co conspirator in a cover up of a sex crime. Specifically the one year sentence she gave Epstein when he was indicted in Florida. She can’t throw Donald under the bus without getting run over herself.

Brown Nose Bondi will jump right on that, Senators. Integrity and honor are her middle names. Along with Trump’s bitch. Meaning her full name is Pamela Brown Nose Integrity Honor Trump’s Bitch Bondi.

Once they find out that they were lied to, and that they've been following an abuser who is possibly an accessory after the fact to sex trafficking they're going to explode.

Why doesn't Blondie outsource the scrutiny of the Epstein documents to Jack Smith?
He'll save her a lot of time, and he's probably not doing anything right now ....

there's an ongoing investigation, so that would mean tRump and Republicans would be under investigation.
But they will release Democrats in the files because they are not under investigation...
