Daily Mail: Pam [Bimbo #3] Bondi sidelined by sudden medical condition after bombshell report claims AG told Trump he was in Epstein files

Pam [Bimbo #3] Bondi abruptly canceled her appearance at a high-profile anti-trafficking summit on Wednesday, citing a sudden medical emergency.

The attorney general – who has been under siege over the Epstein files – was scheduled to appear at CPAC’s Summit Against Human Trafficking when a speaker at the event made the stunning announcement. 

‘I do have a note from the attorney general, from Attorney General Pam [Bimbo #3] Bondi, that I wanted to share,’ Acting Assistant Attorney General Matthew R. Galeotti said. 

He then read her statement aloud: ‘I’m sorry to miss all of my CPAC friends today…’

‘Unfortunately, I am recovering from a recently torn cornea, which is preventing me from being with you. I truly wish I was able to join you and support all of the work being done on this critical issue.’ 

At the conclusion of the statement, Galeotti laughed nervously as scattered applause came from the audience. 

‘We appreciate the applause for her and not boos for me,’ he joked. ‘So I will do my best to fill those big shoes.’ 

Several people can be seen walking out of the conference after it was revealed the attorney general would not be speaking.

The Department of Justice did not provide any further information about [Bimbo #3] Bondi’s condition. 

Her injury came just hours after a bombshell report claimed she personally informed President Trump that his name appeared ‘multiple times’ in the Jeffrey Epstein files. 

[Bimbo #3] Bondi’s appearance at the CPAC summit was highly-anticipated given her central role in the administration’s long-promised disclosures about the billionaire pedophile. 

Adding to the intrigue, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that [Bimbo #3] Bondi had informed President Trump in May that his name appeared more frequently than expected in the trove of sealed Epstein files. 

[Bimbo #3] Bondi had warned Trump that while the documents included ‘unverified hearsay,’ they also contained child pornography and sensitive victim information. She also advised against further public releases, the WSJ said.

The Journal’s report directly contradicts Trump’s public statements about the drama surrounding the Epstein files. 

On July 15, when asked whether his name came up in a briefing with [Bimbo #3] Bondi about the Epstein records, Trump replied bluntly: ‘No, no.’ 

He described the meeting as ‘just a very quick briefing,’ and accused former FBI Director James Comey of ‘making up’ the contents of the files.

Trump’s communications director, Steven Cheung, slammed the Journal’s reporting as ‘fake news,’ responding to the Daily Mail in a statement.

‘The fact is that the President kicked [Epstein] out of his club for being a creep,’ Cheung said. ‘This is nothing more than a continuation of the fake news stories concocted by the Democrats and the liberal media, just like the Obama Russiagate scandal, which President Trump was right about.’

But the Journal’s reporting was backed by multiple senior officials, who said [Bimbo #3] Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche briefed Trump as part of a ‘routine meeting.’

The Journal also noted that [Bimbo #3] Bondi recommended withholding additional Epstein documents due to their inclusion of graphic material and potential privacy violations.

‘They turned out to be child porn downloaded by that disgusting Jeffrey Epstein,’ [Bimbo #3] Bondi said at a July 8 cabinet meeting. ‘Never going to be released, never going to see the light of day.’

[Bimbo #3] Bondi’s explanation has done little to quell outrage particularly from Trump’s MAGA base, which has grown increasingly hostile towards over what they see as stall tactics and contradictions. 

Her promise earlier this year on Fox News that she had the Epstein ‘client list’ on her desk proved hollow, as the long-awaited ‘Phase I’ release offered no significant revelations. 

A leaked DOJ-FBI memo later revealed that no such ‘client list’ had ever been located in agency files.

The backlash has ignited conspiracies of a cover-up and infighting within pro-Trump circles. 

Calls to release everything have grown louder, and some prominent MAGA influencers have demanded [Bimbo #3] Bondi’s resignation. 

The administration’s failure to deliver on the campaign promise of transparency in the Epstein case is becoming a political flashpoint. 

Trump has had recent beef with the Wall Street Journal, threatening to sue the publication and its owner Rupert Murdoch for publishing last week a piece claiming he sent Epstein a 50th birthday card with a hand-drawn outline of a naked women

The paper claims that Trump wrote in the card’s note: ‘May every day be another wonderful secret.’ 

‘I never wrote a picture in my life. I don’t draw pictures of women,’ Trump fired back when asked if he transmitted such a card. ‘It’s not my language. It’s not my words.’

Legal experts say such a defamation lawsuit would be difficult to win, but the threat underscores the president’s rising frustration with how the Epstein story is dominating headlines – and damaging his team’s credibility.

How convenient, and from someone who’d scarcely know the truth if it bit her!

The Grio: Trump escalates call for Obama’s arrest with AI video after ‘treasonous’ claim by his national intelligence director

Trump officials attempt to reframe the DOJ investigation of Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election, in which a special counsel found that Trump may have committed obstruction of justice.

President Donald Trump appeared to call for the arrest of his predecessor, former President Barack Obama, after posting an AI-generated video depicting America’s first Black president being placed in handcuffs in the Oval Office.

On the heels of controversy surrounding the FBI files related to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, Trump turned his attention away from the bombshell report about a letter he sent his former friend, one for which he subsequently filed a defamation lawsuit—Trump on Sunday re-posted the AI video on Truth Social.

Trump published several posts about Obama, including clips from a Sunday Fox News interview with National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard, who accused Obama and his administration officials of engaging in a “treasonous conspiracy” against the Trump 2016 campaign.

On Friday, the Trump administration released an intelligence report that claimed top Obama officials manufactured the beginnings of a years-long federal investigation into Trump’s campaign and Russia alleging the foreign adversary’s interference in the U.S. presidential election. Gabbard said Obama and company were “not happy” about Trump’s shock 2016 victory against Hillary Clinton and therefore “decided that they would do everything possible to try to undermine his ability to do what voters tasked President Trump to do.”

Gabbard, a former Democrat who ran for the party’s presidential nomination in 2020, said the Obama administration relied on “manufactured intelligence” that claimed Russia had “helped Donald Trump get elected,” but argued intelligence before the 2016 election “contradicted” that claim. The national intelligence director said Russia “had neither the intent nor the capability” to hack the election.

The Trump official said she would also make a criminal referral to the FBI based on the recently released documents.

However, the investigation of Trump and his allies did not focus on whether Russia hacked the U.S. election, ie. changing votes or hacking voting systems. Intelligence reports revealed that Russia engaged in a sophisticated interference campaign that included extracting voter registration data in at least two states, and online interference campaigns—including a troll farm targeting Black voters. Analysis of Russia’s interference campaign concluded that it was an effective voter suppression tool.

A DOJ special counsel investigation of the 2016 Russia interference campaign, led by Robert Mueller, concluded that there was not enough evidence to charge any Trump official for conspiring with Russia. However, Mueller made clear his report did not absolve Trump of possible obstruction. His 448-page report outlines 10 potential instances of obstruction of justice committed by Trump, including the firing of former FBI Director James Comey, who was leading an investigation of Russia and the Trump campaign.

Anthony Coley, a former DOJ official for the Biden administration, threw cold water on the Trump administration’s attempt to reframe the 2016 Russia probe. He told theGrio it’s a “distraction” from Trump’s Epstein controversy.

“Distraction, thy name is Donald Trump,” said Coley. “Donald Trump is attacking the left to keep the right from focusing on him. Trump thinks his base is too naive, too stupid even, to see that he’s been playing them on the Epstein matter.”

The former DOJ official added, “His latest claim about Russia and the 2016 election has been thoroughly debunked, including through a bipartisan investigation by the Senate Intelligence Committee and a top prosecutor that Trump’s own attorney general appointed.”The former DOJ official added, “His latest claim about Russia and the 2016 election has been thoroughly debunked, including through a bipartisan investigation by the Senate Intelligence Committee and a top prosecutor that Trump’s own attorney general appointed.”

King Donald is totally deranged and as daffy as they come!

What will it take to get this flake job into a memory-care unit or a mental asylum?

Daily Beast: Trump, 79, Posts Deranged AI Video of Obama Being Arrested

The bizarre post came as the president seeks to move on from the Epstein controversy tearing apart his base.

President Donald Trump shared a bizarre fake video depicting the arrest and imprisonment of one of his predecessors, Barack Obama, following a furious weekend posting rampage.

Trump shared the video from a pro-MAGA TikTok user to his Truth Social platform on Sunday, after posting throughout the weekend about Tulsi Gabbard’s claims that the Obama administration engaged in a “treasonous conspiracy” to subvert his 2016 election victory.

The video opens with footage of Obama and other prominent Democrats declaring that “no one is above the law.” It then cuts to Pepe the Frog, an alt-right meme mascot, dressed as a clown and honking its nose, before showing an AI-generated sequence of Obama being arrested by the FBI during his Oval Office meeting with Trump in November 2016.

It then depicts Obama in prison in an orange jumpsuit. The arrest montage is bizarrely set to one of Trump’s favorite tunes, Village People’s “YMCA.”

It followed his director of national intelligence’s announcement on Friday that she was referring Obama administration officials to the Justice Department for prosecution over allegations they “manufactured” intelligence to promote the idea that Russia interfered in the 2016 election.

Trump has posted at least 17 times about Gabbard’s announcement since Friday.

Gabbard claimed that newly declassified documents were evidence that Obama and some of his cabinet members “politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump.”

Democrats have dismissed her claims as baseless and riddled with errors. Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia, the top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, said it was “one more example of the director of national intelligence trying to cook the books.”

Some MAGA supporters were also skeptical and framed it as a distraction, given the timing. Gabbard’s announcement followed days of controversy over the Trump administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, which has not died down despite Trump’s best efforts to stifle it, distract from it and blame Democrats.

But many other Trump supporters have gotten on board. The Obama arrest video was shared by MAGA fans on social media Sunday night. “MAKE THIS A REALITY,” right-wing journalist Nick Sortor wrote on X, tagging Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Trump, a convicted criminal, has increasingly normalized the idea of using the Justice Department to go after political enemies. On Sunday night alone, he also floated sending Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff to prison and posted a collage depicting fake mugshots of various Obama-era officials, including James Comey, Samantha Power, and Susan Rice, wearing orange jumpsuits.

Trump was found guilty in May 2024 on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, marking the first time in U.S. history a former president has been convicted of felony crimes. He’s appealing the verdict.

The conservative-stacked Supreme Court ruled last summer that presidents have immunity from prosecution for official acts while in office, raising the bar for prosecuting Trump—and any of his predecessors—for actions taken as president.

This 34X convicted felon is totally incompetent to be our president!!!

Raw Story: ‘Feel sorry’: Ex-FBI director reveals Kash Patel clip that made him ‘cringe’

James Comey claimed he cringed watching president Donald Trump’s FBI director Kash Patel struggle to answer a basic question during a recent Senate hearing.

The former FBI director, who has earned Trump’s enduring ire over the Russia probe during his first presidency, appeared Wednesday on CNN’s “The Situation Room” to discuss his successor’s handling of the job as the nation’s top federal investigator, and he was unimpressed by his response to Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) asking about the bureau’s tardy budget request.

“I cringe at that clip,” Comey said. “I actually feel kind of sorry for the guy. It’s like showing up for a final exam with no pencils and no paper and you didn’t even know there’s a final exam.”

Too much nightclubbing!!!

Daily Caller: ‘We Found Stuff’: Dan Bongino Claims Room Full Of Evidence Found From Comey-Era FBI

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Deputy Director Dan Bongino claimed that a room containing evidence, much of it linked to former director James Comey, was discovered.

“Does he still have loyalists in the building?” he asked. “Because when I hear the FBI director saying you guys are finding boxes that are hidden — how does that happen in the Bureau?”

“Well, we were there a couple of weeks, and luckily, there were a lot of people up there who grabbed us by the arm the minute we came in and said, ‘Thank you for being here — we need to talk,’” he said. “There are people there who are really horrified at what happened.”

The deputy director added, “And there was a room, and we found stuff. A lot of stuff.”

“A hidden room?” one of the hosts asked.

“I wouldn’t call it hidden — but hidden from us, at least, and not mentioned to us,” Bongino replied. “Then we found stuff in there, and a lot of it’s from the Comey era. We’re working our damnedest right now to declassify it.”

Sounds like some kind of Easter egg hunt? Entertainment to keep Trump’s unqualified appintees from doing any real damage?

“And just so you know—I get the public. I totally understand people saying, ‘Well, do it now.’ The process is, not all the information is ours to declassify — some is other intelligence agencies. We literally can’t do it,” he continued.

Not to worry, we all understand that not much of substance is there in the first place.

Fox News: FBI Director Patel says he’s had to divert resources to investigate ‘copycats’ of Comey ’86 47′ post

FBI officials told Fox News Digital the bureau needs to focus on public safety, ‘not cleaning up after political stunts’

FBI Director Kash Patel said he has been forced to divert agents to investigate “copycats” of potential threats to President Donald Trump as a result of former FBI Director James Comey’s “86 47” social media post. 

Bureau officials told Fox News Digital it needs to be focused on “public safety, not cleaning up after political stunts.”

No “cleanup” was needed. It’s not our problem that you’re a total f*ck*ng gullible fool utterly unqualified for your day job as FBI director.

MSNBC: Trump admin regulators launch investigation into Media Matters, adding to pattern

If it seems as if there have been a lot of new federal investigations into Democrats and their allies lately, it’s not your imagination.

But it’s important to remember that many of the White House’s political antagonists are, in fact, facing the kind of investigations that Trump has in mind. The New York Times reported:

The Federal Trade Commission on Wednesday opened an investigation into Media Matters, a liberal advocacy organization that has published research on hateful and antisemitic content on X, according to two people familiar with the inquiry. The regulator said in a letter sent to the organization that it was investigating the group, which is aligned with Democrats, over whether it illegally colluded with advertisers, according to the people.

The public has learned in recent weeks that the administration — led by a president whose second-term “revenge tour” has been unsubtle — is also investigating and/or prosecuting a variety of Democratic officials and candidates, including Rep. LaMonica McIver of New Jersey, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, New York Attorney General Letitia James and New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy.

This dovetails with the president directing the Justice Department to go after Christopher Krebs, who led the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency; which came on the heels of Trump pressing the Department of Homeland Security to investigate Miles Taylor, a former high-ranking DHS official. The president did this not because there’s evidence of Krebs or Taylor having done anything wrong, but because they defied him several years ago. They went on his enemies list, and now he’s exacting revenge.

Around the same time, Trump also directed the Justice Department to investigate ActBlue, the Democratic Party’s most important fundraising platform.

And did I mention the investigation into former FBI director James Comey? Because that’s underway, too.

Trump and his team are also going after law firmsuniversities and news organizations they consider political foes of the White House.

What’s more, given Ed Martin’s new responsibilities at the Justice Department, this overtly and abusive partisan pattern is likely to intensify.

So Trump hates everybody?

Axios recently noted, “In the final days of the 2024 campaign, Axios identified a list of perceived adversaries who fit what Trump ominously described as ‘the enemies from within.’ As president, he has taken steps to retaliate against virtually all of them.” That was two months ago. The problem is vastly worse now, and there’s no reason to believe conditions will improve anytime soon.

The Times: James Comey on Trump: ‘He’s the monster in a horror sequel’

The former FBI director was sacked in 2017, four months into Donald Trump’s first term of office. Now James Comey is at the centre of an extraordinary row about his ‘86 47’ Instagram post

When I speak to James Comey about his past battles with Donald Trump, the state of America and his new novel about free speech and its consequences, the former director of the FBI is on holiday at the beach. He is in a relaxed mood, with no reason to suspect that within hours he will be engulfed in a fresh storm.

Comey, who was sacked by Trump in his first term in dramatic circumstances, had warned before the election that the idea of Donald back in the White House “bent on retribution and destroying the system is chilling”. So I ask if he had experienced any of that retribution.

“Well, not in Trump 2.0. But with the interviews I’m doing around the launch of this book, maybe I’ll get my own executive order. We’ll see,” he says lightly. “I dealt with most of my retribution in Trump 1.0, where I was investigated repeatedly. I had the most aggressive tax audit imaginable, and they ended up owing me $347, but it cost me thousands of dollars to get to that. I went through it in Trump 1.0. I was on the enemies list before there was an enemies list. Nothing so far in 2.0, but it’s early yet.”

A few hours later, he is under investigation by the Trump administration and the Maga world is alight with calls for his arrest and jailing. This comes as a consequence of a walk on the beach and a photograph posted to Instagram — then quickly deleted — of some shells arranged to form the numbers “86 47”.

MSNBC: James Comey’s anti-Trump message is protected speech

The current investigation into the former FBI director is precisely what the First Amendment was designed to guard against.

Questions are swirling following the launch of a federal investigation into former FBI Director James Comey over a now-deleted social media post of seashells arranged in the numbers “8647” on the beach. (“Eighty-six” is commonly understood to mean “get rid of.” President Trump is the 45th and 47th President of the United States.) Was Comey calling for the assassination of Trump? Or was he, as he has since stated, expressing a political opinion about Trump? 

If Comey’s post amounted to a siren song, beseeching others to kill the president, he can be punished for his speech. But should Comey’s post be viewed as political advocacy, which I argue it should, he is entitled to the full protection of the First Amendment. The genuine threat is not that a president’s life is in danger, but that the Trump administration is attempting to silence the speech of political adversaries. Even if it is unlikely that Comey faces anything more than a slap on the wrist for his post, the decision to open an investigation in and of itself should be worrisome. Comey has access to the media and resources to defend himself. Not everyone does. And the prospect of chilling political speech critical of government officials should concern all of us.

Raw Story: Marjorie Taylor Greene complains nothing gets done ‘even though we’re in charge’

Marjorie Taylor Greene said Sunday she isn’t satisfied with what Donald Trump’s administration has so far been able to accomplish.

After commenting on former President Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis, the MAGA ally turned to X to talk about how little Trump’s team has been able to find out about those who tried to assassinate him.

“Thomas Crooks shot Pres Trump and we still know nothing even though we are in charge,” she wrote Sunday.

She continued, saying that “Ryan Routh tried to assassinate him and we still have not seen his trial,” before turning to a more current development. “James Comey threatens to assassinate him and publicly calls for it and he’s on his way to a best seller.”

She then added, “Trump makes a phone call to Zelensky and gets impeached. Trump says ‘go peacefully and make your voices heard’ and gets impeached again. Bannon and Navarro go to jail for refusing to show for a sham congressional subpoena, but Christopher Wray walks free for refusing to show for our congressional subpoena.”

“Don’t tell me to get outraged when nothing is done to hold these people accountable. No accountability means people stop caring,” she concluded.

Must be really difficult being one of MAGA’s biggest airheads! She just rambles from ancient history episode to another.
