You can watch Bondi’s exchange with Fox News’ John Roberts at the link above; it is extremely difficult to believe she did not understand the question was about “the list of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients.”

All these figures — Trump, Vance, Patel, and Bongino — were perfectly comfortable embracing and promoting the belief that Epstein had many unnamed clients involved in sordid crimes, that these figures were being blackmailed, that there was a list of these perpetrators of sex crimes, and that the list was being suppressed and hidden by individuals within the FBI. And now that Trump, Vance, Patel, and Bongino are running and overseeing the FBI, they’re forced to stand silently as the bureau announces there is no evidence this list ever existed, nor that anyone was being blackmailed, nor is there evidence that Epstein was murdered.

Throw in Bondi now contending she accidentally referred to documents that don’t exist, and we have a group of people running federal law enforcement who have proven themselves untrustworthy. So far, they are dealing with this by calling up their preferred MAGA-adjacent reporters and leaking against each other.
