These are Trump people. They'd have no reason to cover something up, unless it was to protect Trump or at Trump's direction. Trump has come out and publicly supported Bondi and, basically, scolded people for worrying about this whole Epstein thing. There is no rational way to scapegoat Bondi, without implicating Trump.
On February 21st, she was interviewed, and she was asked a question: "The DOJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein's clients? Will that really happen?" and she responded (verbatim) "It's sitting on my desk right now to review ... that's been a directive by President Trump ... I'm reviewing that ... I'm reviewing JFK files, MLK files ... that's all in the process of being reviewed because that was done at the directive of the President from all of these agencies ..."
On February 27th, she sent a letter to FBI Director Patel saying (paraphrased, for brevity) ... "hey, I asked for all the files related to Epstein before you took office and I got 200 pages of docs in response ... flight logs, Epstein's list of contacts, a list of victims names and numbers. I kept asking if this was everything and the FBI told me it was ... then someone in the NY Field Office told me there were thousands pages more, and the FBI never disclosed these. When I talked to you about it, you seemed as shocked as I was ... so now I want all those pages delivered to me by tomorrow."
Full letter here:
From this you can fairly deduce the following ... she was after all the information, and wasn't bullshitting, or she was putting up a great front. Folks interpreted her Feb 21st comments as saying she had an actual Epstein list, but you can tell by her comments, when she followed up the "It's sitting on my desk right now" comment referring to JFK and MLK files, that she kinda short-handed the answer and was referring to a clump of files ... a clump she hadn't gone through yet. So she wouldn't have known if she had a specific "list," and didn't meant to convey that she had "THE list." She had Epstein, JFK and MLK files sitting on her desk waiting for review.
So, between the 21st and 27th, she was told there's a crap ton more files and she demanded these. If this was some cover-up/fake, why would she do this? These were covered up files that could have easily remained covered up.
Then she reviews all the files, and they come up with their joint FBI/DOJ memo saying we're not releasing anything further. There's no smoking gun Epstein client list, Epstein committed suicide ... the end.
So, either there's actually nothing here, or Trump is directing the cover-up.
