MAGA not happy that the Trumpers have buried the Epstein client list

Our local Republicans are, predictably, reserving the right to remain silent on the bombshell news from the Trump Justice Department, which is now saying that there is no Jeffrey Epstein client list, conveniently, just a couple of weeks after Elon Musk said Trump’s name would be on the client list of the dead pedophile.

I don’t blame either Ben Cline, the Sixth District congressman, or John McGuire, over in the Fifth, for not touching this one with a 39-and-a-half-foot pole.

Others in MAGA, though, are having a field day with the, ahem, shocking development.

“The American people and MAGA base will not tolerate being lied to,” influencer/troll Laura Loomer posted to Twitter, calling on Trump to fire his attorney general, Pam Bondi, who Loomer dismissively referred to as “Blondi.”

“Blondi is still an abomination,” Loomer wrote. “Epstein raped kids on her watch when she was FL AG. Is this what this is about? Her horrendous professional record?”

Bondi hasn’t commented publicly on the memo issued by the FBI and DOJ in which the Trump Deep State now claims that it does not have an Epstein client list or evidence of additional perpetrators.

What’s hard to square here is, Bondi, in multiple TV interviews – of course, with Fox News – won several news cycles with wild claims that she had an Epstein client list “sitting on my desk right now to review,” and that she had ordered FBI Director Kash Patel to prepare “a detailed report as to why all these documents and evidence had been withheld.”

The spin now from the Trump administration, voiced by the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, is that “there was material they did not release because, frankly, it was incredibly graphic, and it contained child pornography, which is not something that’s appropriate for public consumption. But they committed to an exhaustive investigation, that’s what they did, and they provided the results of that. That’s transparency.”

For those keeping score at home, the “results” of this review, and the “transparency” that Leavitt is claiming, is the Trump DOJ saying, please disperse, there’s nothing to see here.

MAGA, for its part in this, is, to say the least, not pleased.

“We were all told more was coming. That answers were out there and would be provided. Incredible how utterly mismanaged this Epstein mess has been. And it didn’t have to be,” Jack Posobiec, the Pizzagate white genocide conspiracy theorist troll, wrote on Twitter.

“So, Epstein was trafficking these underage girls to nobody? Is Pam Bondi serious? No one who has followed this for years believes that everyone who went to Epstein’s island was just there to catch some waves and relax,” Robby Starbuck, a former music video director who now identifies as a trans truther and DEI critic, wrote on Twitter.

“What Epstein and his ilk did was pure evil, and this memo attempts to just close the book on it like there’s no one else involved. I can’t pretend that’s okay. The victims deserve better, and the public deserves better. Bondi just made it all worse with this memo. What a terrible, terrible idea it was to write this memo. It’s also incredibly insulting to our intelligence,” this Starbuck guy, who directed videos for, among others, Smashing Pumpkins, said.

“This is a slap in the face to the American people, and it’s disgusting that our DOJ is protecting pedophiles,” Savanah Hernandez, a journalist, such as she is, with Turning Point USA who also lists Free Speech Systems, the parent company of Infowars, wrote on Twitter.

It is disgusting that the DOJ is “protecting pedophiles,” that one pedophile, in particular.
