Pam Bondi’s Fumbled Big Time On The Epstein Files—But Let’s Not Lose Our Minds

For the past week, Attorney General Pam Bondi had us all on the edge of our seats, hyping up the release of long-awaited Epstein files. She went on Jesse Watters Primetime with a smirk, telling us she had the documents “sitting on my desk right now.” She doubled down Wednesday, promising a massive info drop with “a lot of flight logs, a lot of names, a lot of information.” In her words? “Pretty sick.”

So, naturally, when a group of conservative influencers—who happened to be at the White House for strategy meetings with Vice President JD Vance and FBI Director Kash Patel—got handed a binder labeled “The Epstein Files: Phase 1” and left the building with cameras snapping, the anticipation reached a fever pitch.

Then, we finally got the files. And let me tell you—Phase 1 turned out to be… Phase Yawn.

Turns out, almost everything in this “bombshell” release was already public. There was no shocking new name drop. No never-before-seen flight logs. Just a bunch of old documents repackaged for a dramatic rollout that fell completely flat.

Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, who has been leading the charge on transparency, wasn’t having it. She went straight to X (formerly Twitter) to say what we were all thinking: “THIS IS NOT WHAT WE OR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ASKED FOR. GET US THE INFORMATION WE ASKED FOR.”

And then, in what felt like a hasty attempt to save face, Bondi put out a letter blaming the FBI’s New York field office for withholding thousands of pages of real Epstein records. She vowed to make them public, and FBI Director Patel reassured everyone that “there will be no cover-ups, no missing documents, and no stone left unturned.”

Now, let’s be honest: This was a total fumble for Bondi. Sloppy execution. Bad messaging. And seriously—are we supposed to believe she didn’t read these binders before hyping them up? If that’s true, it’s embarrassing. If it’s not true, it’s worse. Either way, it’s a disaster that could have easily been avoided.

But before everyone spirals, let’s take a breath. Bondi’s been in the job barely a month, and she’s been a powerhouse so far. This misstep doesn’t erase the fact that Trump’s administration is finally tackling the Epstein scandal in a way Biden’s DOJ never would have.

Maybe this was a strategic misfire. Maybe there’s a bigger play here. But one thing is certain: This isn’t over. Trump and Bondi will deliver. The real files are coming—it’s just a matter of time.
