(194,870 posts)That has resulted in the ridiculous scrubbing of Jacke Robinson, the freaking Enola GAY, and even Colin Powell (whatever you think of him) from websites and social media. 🙄
The Bondi binders (given to MAGA Social Media influencers AT the White House) were the Holy Grail for a few hours that day until it became apparent that is was more of an illustration of how stupid and unqualified the current AG is. That started several days of infighting both within the Clustertrump and amongst their influencers. It was a sight to behold.
As the article says this is all on digital files. Agents are redacting PDF files I guess.
Its literally all hands on deck, one source familiar with the matter tells me, adding that dozens and dozens of agents are working around the clock on the case, instead of on their regular duties. I even saw an agent walking in with a pillow, the source added.
Speaking to Vanity Fair, an FBI veteran called the frantic scramble fucked up, and added that it seemed to fly in the face of how federal cases are handled in the modern era. Its not 20 years ago. Theres not one hard file.
That night, Bondi went on Fox News claiming she had received a truckload of evidence on the Epstein case, and was now rushing to get it out. The FBI veteran noted that this was an odd way for Bondi to describe the matter. Theres no master file in the New York office. That doesnt exist, the veteran added. Theres not some crusty agent with his feet on bankers boxes.

Oh, I guess there are probably a few score of other politicians and business leaders that will need similar runs. Can't lose blackmail assets.
