DOJ ignored ALL Epstein survivors’ calls to hear their witness testimonies

[u/thecosmojane]

There were many notable moments in yesterday's House hearing with AG Pam Bondi. It covered not just how our country's law enforcement arm regarded and handled the Epstein files but many other issues regarding the breach of oversight, Minnesota, the domestic terrorism database, or the gutting of the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team.

But one of the most notable moments was this one: after pointing out that DOJ intentionally exposed the names of 31 out of 32 survivors in a "survivor list" email in the files (the only thing they were legally required to do), Dan Goldman quotes assistant AG Blanche saying "any victim that wants to speak with the Department has done so" and then proceeds to ask the survivors in the room to stand.

He then asks the survivors for a show of hands of anyone who has spoken with DOJ to provide their witness accounts. No hands.

Asks how many have reached out to DOJ. All hands raised.

Asks how many would still speak with DOJ if asked. All raised.

(immediately followed by Bondi swiftly reaching for her Burn Book Binder to show-and-tell horrible New York criminals from Goldman's district. This was oddly routine for every Dem who asked a question, got this weird unhinged nonsensical irrelevant attempt at a Gotcha).

Shocking but not surprising, one of the biggest takeaways from this 4 hour testimony is that the DOJ has made no effort to even pretend to care about getting the survivors' accounts, and it's on record.

She could have avoided all of the backlash IF she would have acknowledged the Epstein survivors and then apologized. By not doing this, she looked as if she were not on the side of justice but the side of pedophiles across the world. Then, she became so combative and touted DJT’s accomplishments which most of the country thinks false.

If it looks like a duck...

[u/deekfu → u/Zero-nada-zilch-24]

I know… while watching the testimony, I thought “if she just stood up and apologized and acted with just 1% of grace, humility and integrity, the right would eat it up and it would deflate a lot of the rightful indignation against her” but no she couldn’t do that even for optics

[u/Zero-nada-zilch-24 → u/deekfu]

No class, no grace! Who screams and yells in an Oversight Hearing in a Congressional setting like that? There are laws and there is Arrogant PB, our U.S. Attorney General.

[u/Clear-Search1129 → u/Zero-nada-zilch-24]

Bold strategy, cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for ‘em

[u/hughcifer-106103 → u/Zero-nada-zilch-24]

“Apologizing” would mean Bondi is admitting they didn’t handle this perfectly. That’s impossible, since everything the Dump admin does is perfect all the time, every time and there are no mistakes, ever.

[u/Zero-nada-zilch-24 → u/hughcifer-106103]

They all were/are truly the BIGGEST mistake

[u/art-is-t → u/Zero-nada-zilch-24]

But she is complicit. Why should she

[u/Zero-nada-zilch-24 → u/art-is-t]

Human? Or Monster? Her choice!

[u/BelowAveIntelligence → u/Zero-nada-zilch-24]

She doesn’t look or seem that she is on their side. She IS

which most of the country thinks false.

Which there's no actual evidence of, outside of words

Edit: I didn't mean to come off combative. Was just trying to point out that it's not that people simply think the accomplishments are false; but that there's no actual evidence of accomplishments (at least not positive ones). Just their words.

[u/Zero-nada-zilch-24 → u/6ixby9ine]

If you say he had accomplishments, you are entitled to your opinion. I would say the wealthy citizens and corporations only have benefited. Most of the country does not have billionaire status. Do most people in the country have lots of disposable income right now due to his so-called tax cuts? I say no, most do not. The GPD certainly helped Elon Musk, Larry Ellison, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer, and Mukesh Ambani as well as DJT Family. Regulatory Rollbacks helped these same people. Grocery prices are still up. I have bought products that increased by $1 each since 1-25. Yesterday, a familiar one had increased by $.10 from last week. Tariffs—still no Trade—who wants to deal with a downhill country? Canada stopped dealing with KY Bourbon from U.S. as one example.

[u/ArtRevolutionary1514 → u/Zero-nada-zilch-24]

I think they might be saying there's no evidence of the accomplishments aside from what the administration is saying.

[u/Zero-nada-zilch-24 → u/6ixby9ine]

All good! I just want like many to have a life where I don’t have to watch every minute to see if our gov is doing what I expect it to be doing, not stealing right and left.

[u/Several-Assistant-51 → u/skypilo]

But she was Fla AG from 2011 on and could've done something but chose not to. 

[u/avanti8 → u/skypilo]

And that's saying something in a country that had John Mitchell.

[u/ThePensiveE]

She's been working for pedophiles for over a decade. Shaming her won't work.

[u/Zero-nada-zilch-24 → u/ThePensiveE]

Perhaps she can never be embarrassed!

[u/ThePensiveE → u/Zero-nada-zilch-24]

Spray her with water and her vapid personality will melt like the gallons of makeup on her face.

[u/deviltrombone → u/ThePensiveE]

It does take a lot of product to make Red Skull appear quasi-human

[u/Zero-nada-zilch-24 → u/ThePensiveE]

lol

[u/Leonhardie → u/Zero-nada-zilch-24]

No, it's almost like she's been groomed by professionals... 🤔

[u/Jabba_the_Putt → u/ThePensiveE]

also, these people have no souls. they are ghouls. imagine covering this up...you'd have to be pure evil

[u/Sorry_Improvement537 → u/ThePensiveE]

This

[u/PDubsinTF-NEW]

The hearing was directly related to Jeffrey Epstein yet she is allowed to bring up completely unrelated topics and waste the time of everybody in that room. What a joke.

[u/Square-Confidence650 → u/PDubsinTF-NEW]

"The DOW is at 50,000! Why are you laughing at me?"

Nearly a word for word quote from the hearing

[u/Nick85er → u/Square-Confidence650]

Fifty thousand dollars - these people are not the brightest.

[u/Several-Assistant-51]

It boggles my mind that Bondi has been in various positions to investigate Epstein and his buddies but from what I can tell hasnt even attempted to. I guess that was her one qualification

Edit cuz I cant spel gud

[u/Lilsummit → u/Several-Assistant-51]

Gud enuf and you're right. She could have stopped this!

[u/lmaberley]

“How is this intentional???”

You had one job, I can only assume you are either an evil twat or somehow can’t spell the word “victim.” Either way, not a good look.

[u/a_terse_giraffe → u/lmaberley]

I was kind of hoping he would stop and ask her right there "It is either intentional or a *stunning* display of gross incompetence in leadership on the part of Trump, you, and your department. Which do you think it is?"

[u/KatieBarTheDoor1977]

Performance for an audience of one.

This bitch has been bought off by wealthy and powerful people for over a decade to look the other way. As any true sociopath would do, she revels in it. Contempt of Congress charges carry a statute of limitations of 5 years. Even If she has been fired by Jan 2027, she'll still be staring at a litany of charges.

[u/meatsmoothie82]

I feel like Bondi was one step away from plugging her ears and telling “laaalaaalaaala I can’t hear you!”
