1. The cover-up is hardly a surprise. But what makes no sense

is how Bondi could have been so stupid as to admit she had the client lists in her possession.

Why would she do this?

Is it because she truly is that stupid? I guess that's possible, but that would be world-class stupid.

Is it because she actually believed Trump when he said he wanted to release that stuff? That's a bit more plausible, but still really stupid. For that to be the answer, she would have to believe that Trump isn't a rapist, and all those pictures with him hanging with Epstein and very young girls were just taken out of context. For the MAGA cult, I guess that is very possible.

But why is Bannon so hot to get this released? He is nobody's fool. Is it because he thinks the Nazis are firmly implanted now and he'd be happy to see Trump forced out of the picture?

Or do these people really believe this will be harmful to Dems? I'm not even aware of any rumors of prominent Dems being regular Epstein clients. Maybe Bill Clinton, but he's been off the map for 25 years.
