OMG....I think she's part of the whole sex crime ring!

I got chills and came to that conclusion when I saw this meme yesterday (which I don't know how to post pictures), but this is the text:

Reminder: Guess who Florida's Attorney General was from 2011 to 2019 while Epstein was running his sex ring? Pam Bondi


In light of her testimony yesterday, the utter disregard she showed the victims when asked to face them, and her continued coverup, it makes one wonder if she's part of the whole operation.

As to what his involvement entailed was not elaborated on. My impression is that Florida has an overabundance of corruption which slops over into law enforcement and the judicial system in general, and Bondi was a part of it (along with Aileen Cannon), Acosta, et al.

Edited to add, I'm not accusing Cannon or Acosta of being involved with the Epstein ring.

The fact that she couldn’t face the victims tells you everything you need to know.

He should have been put away for a long time right then and there, but instead he got a slap on the wrist that was so gentle it was almost a caress. It smelled fishy in 2008, and it smells fishier than ever in 2026. As AG, I don't think Blondi would have been "officially" involved, but I am sure there are ways she could have influenced the outcome of that case from behind the scenes.

Some of the victims at that hearing were probably victimized after he finished that pathetic excuse for a sentence, when he should still been rotting in a prison cell. It's not surprising she didn't want to face them!

But the photo was miscaptioned. It wasn't Pam Bondi but rather Belgian model Ingrid Seynhaeve. A Getty image.

I tend to go with the more obvious factor that she is not noted as a legal scholar. I remember watching a podcast with a republican and a former republican discussing her being appointed to her current position. Both of them knew her well, and burst out laughing while describing her "qualification."

One might consider where Epstein was offending circa 2011 to 2019. Also, the deal that the DOJ had gifted him with in the Florida case. There is zero chance -- actually, far less than zero -- that she was going to attempt to prosecute him. It took federal prosecutors to get a federal court to void that case.

This is not to suggest that she is not corrupt. Her role in the Felon University case documents that she is a snake. Plenty more, too.

Another connection previously unknown to me:

When Bondi was working for Trump during his impeachment, she was also a lobbyist for Ballard, a lobbying agency. Who were her clients, you may ask?

During her time at Ballard Partners, Bondi lobbied for for-profit prison operator GEO Group, Amazon, Uber, General Motors, the Florida Sheriffs Association and others.


If the first company isn't a familiar name, it should be. GEO Group is in charge of setting up and running the concentration camps.

As others have disclosed, Trump gave her a big "campaign contribution" when she became the only State AG who refused to join the Trump U fraud case even though there were numerous Floridians who had been defrauded by him.

Further...

When she was Florida AG and the "South Florida investigation" was ongoing, there were a few "massage parlors" up here in Tallahassee that were busted. A person who I am positive knows what he is talking about said the following in an open forum: "Those busted massage parlors are related to the 'South Florida investigation' and when all the details come out, it will involve a large number of politically-connected individuals".

There is no doubt she has actively participated in a cover-up for quite some time.

Basically, she wasn't their type...and may still not be.
