Shorter Leavitt: Bondi Didn’t Say What Everyone Heard Her Say

This post was originally published on this site

Even though Attorney General Pam Bondi said in February that the “client list” of disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is on her desk, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that’s not what she meant. No one is buying that, considering that her boss, Donald Trump, had Epstein on speed dial, and he was friends with the pedophile for years.

Bondi also said in March that the FBI has “tens of thousands” of Epstein videos, but I guess she didn’t say that either, even though that’s what she told reporters. So, was Bondi lying in February and March, or are they all lying now? Or all of the above?

Fox News’s Peter Doocy asked Leavitt about that.

“What happened to the Epstein client list that the attorney general said she had on her desk?” Doocy asked Leavitt.

Leavitt suggested he go back and review exactly what Bondi said in the interview, but Doocy provided the exact quote.

“I’ve got the quote,” Doocy said. “John Roberts said, I know DOJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients. Will that really happen?”

“And she said, ‘it’s sitting on my desk right now to review,'” Doocy added.

“Yes, she was saying the entirety of all of the paperwork, all of the paper in relation to Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes,” Leavitt insisted. “That’s what the attorney general was referring to, and I’ll let her speak for that.”

Leavitt went on to extol the virtues of the Department of Justice and the FBI.

She deflected from the question, of course, saying, “But again, when it comes to the FBI and the Department of Justice, they are more than committed to ensuring that bad people are put behind bars.”

“They have an operation going on right now called Summer Heat, which has our murder rate trending in the lowest direction in United States history,” she added. “Their emphasis on violent crime and locking up violent criminals has led to the arrest of 14,000 violent criminals.”

They don’t sound law-and-order-y to me, considering that there appears to be a cover-up on one of the most notorious sex-trafficking cases in recent history, by a wealthy well-connected man, who they now say killed himself. Ghislaine Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for child sex trafficking and related offenses, so are we supposed to believe she trafficked individuals to nonexistent clients?
