    Trump fired Pam Bondi to keep her from testifying to Congress again. Since she is apparently the only person who knows anything about the Trump-Epstein files, everyone just kind of shrugged and walked away after that.

    The committee in charge of the investigation subpoenaed Bondi again after she ignored the last one and she’s supposed to come in later this month. Cool new detail, though: Bondi is now a private citizen, and private citizens can plead the Fifth. There will be more shuffling of feet, but I’m not expecting any further action.

    because the media is being bought up by his billionaire supporters:

    Bezos bought the Washington post and gutted it.

    Ellisons bought CBS and neutered it.

    Disney and ABC is being threatened by the FCC.

    Murdock bought the Wall Street journal.

    Ellisons are acquiring CNN.

    PBS and NPR had it’s funding cut.

    And the New York Times sold out decades ago.

    Everyone else didn’t want to be sued so they bent knee and shut up.

    All of the currently released files were released a while ago, the admin hasn’t released the rest, and there hasn’t been any further actions since then.

    You’re caught up

    US presidents start wars to distract from problems they have. News organisations know this, joke about this, but get distracted right away anyway because they’re fucking stupid

      News organizations are also owned by people who don’t want people paying attention to things like the Epstein files.
