Many people are rightly lambasting Pam Bondi for being an idiot and being unable to do anything on Epstein. But her most recent meltdown involving Massie has me rethinking the old conspiracy about the men in black suits.
The classic rumor is that you get elected to an important position (or appointed in this case) and go to DC and pretty soon you have your standard orientation. After that, however, you get sat down by some middle aged men in non-descript black suits that tell you what things are really going to happen, what you can and can’t do and the potential consequences if you don’t follow their “advice”. For the longest time I assumed this was just fake, and real attempts at change were stalled by various unelected bureaucrats, slow processing by clerks, or shot down by uniparty judges, you know the real power in this country.
But with how Pam Bondi looks terrified about the Epstein stuff, I’m starting to believe soon after she got into office the real people running America sent some gentlemen to explain that she will not be, in fact releasing any truly critical Epstein information unless she’d like for her family and friends to end up in a true crime series or have an “unfortunate accident”.
You aren’t allowed to have the appearance of power unless you are already controlled. You do not get to state or federal office unless they own you. Period. She’s not afraid of anything. Why would she be? She’s reading her masters’ script. All of her questioners are also reading that same script. What is anyone, anywhere, going to do about any of this? Nothing. What does she have to fear?
You’re not characterizing this correctly.
