Pam Bondi will not have a license to practice law when this is all over. You can’t stay a bar member and agree to investigate only members of one political party for child sexual abuse but not members of the other. And, you can’t do it after previously saying no one else could be charged.

Indiana says "NO" to redistricting despite DT telling them to do so? 🤔 Could it be that the spell is breaking????
This is big: elected Republicans in a deep-red state saying NO to Trump even after his personal plea.
The balance is shifting - and we have to keep up the pressure everywhere.

Indiana likely will not push forward with redistricting despite pressure from White House
It’s a massive blow to the White House’s efforts to shore up a Republican House majority next year.

Threatening to oust powerful people so you can bribe them to help squash this entire issue is going to open many more doors. I don't think he understands how easily this can back fire. Also - keep your Monica Lewinsky impression to yourself.

I've been wondering the same thing -- especially since last week's election results.
Who knows. For years I thought, "*Now* will they finally say 'enough'?"
Is this finally the big—as some have so aptly put it—jailbreak?
Let us hope and pray that it is. But let's not hold our breath.

So, Levitt admits, DT *did* know JE was a pedophile. She shld have checked with her boss before she spoke ... or maybe she did.
Leavitt, this week: "President Trump kicked him out because Jeffrey Epstein was a pedophile and he was a creep."
Trump, asked in 2019 if he had “any suspicions” that Epstein was molesting underage women: "No, I had no idea. I had no idea."
