From the deepest caverns of hell that are reserved for the worst scum to walk the earth, pedophile Jeffrey Epstein is reaching up and attempting to claim the first victim of the Trump Dream Team. It is poetic that someone who has been dead and rotting for years has the power to tarnish the reputation of one of Trump’s closest allies to such a degree that it either pushes Trump to utter his famous phrase, “You’re fired,” or the person is allowed to save face and resign. Attorney General Pam Bondi has backed herself into a corner with claims and promises of heads on a stake that she cannot deliver. Much of the country, especially those who drink the blood of reality crime shows, wants to see prominent people pay for the sins of Epstein Island. They have been licking their lips in anticipation since Bondi promised them names in January, and are not pleased that they may have to wait for the infamous Client List, or worse, may never see it.

The Epstein story has been brewing for twenty years. In 2005, a 14-year-old girl and her parents reported that Jeffrey Epstein molested her at a mansion in Palm Beach, Florida. This prompted a police investigation into the devious, ugly life of the New York financier who managed to lure the rich and famous to his fantasy island stocked with young, underage girls to satisfy their deviant desires. Actors, actresses, successful business people, politicians, even a former First Lady and President, appeared on flight manifests as they hopped on Epstein’s private jet for the trip to the pedophilia paradise. Since the day Epstein was seen in cuffs, America has had a rabid desire to know whose names appeared on the famous and private Epstein Client List, and Pam Bondi foolishly boasted that she would deliver it and spill the beans on the entire sordid affair. The people on the List may still be safe, but Pam Bondi may not be.

A short time ago, Bondi was asked about the Client List by Peter Doocy of FOX News, and Pam Bondi responded that it was on her desk to be reviewed. She was again asked about the List this week, and she corrected herself that she meant the Epstein file, not the List, was on her desk. Trump, who was sitting next to Bondi for this latest exchange, appeared to be upset at the reporter, or anyone still interested in Epstein, rather than the accomplishments of his administration. Trump diffused the story for the moment, but the feeding frenzy for Bondi’s scalp began on talk shows and social media. As strong as she is and as close an ally she has become to Trump, she may not survive this scenario of her creation. She must produce the Client List or her resignation. If Trump is to be able to boast the most transparent administration ever, one of the two must happen. Unfortunately, the latter will not satisfy the masses, and our only hope is that this does not bring Kash Patel and Dan Bongino down with her. That would be a travesty that will have a lingering effect and some red meat for Democrats to feed on. This story, along with the daily attacks on the Big Beautiful Bill, and the lies about I.C.E., may be enough to give the House back to Hakeem Jeffries and the Democrats in the midterms.
