Do you like a good murder?
So long as you're not the victim.
In my twisty, gritty, contemp adult psych thriller, bodies drop like flies. It's a heady mix of pop culture, elevated pulp fiction, & secrets galore.

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.

If this investigation was legitimate, why wasn't this investigation opened months ago?

Trump just said he'll be ordering an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's involvement with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan, Chase and other people and institutions.
Not on that list: Donald Trump. Steve Bannon.

This would be the most brazenly corrupt and obvious guilt ridden thing he has ever done out of thousands of other corrupt acts. Even a huge % of his hardcore MAGA cult members will revolt against this and finally realize he is involved. But I am quite sure he is desperate enough to do it anyway.
Trump just told reporters on Air Force One that he hasn’t ruled out a pardon for Ghislane Maxwell

Discretion in immigration proceedings is fundamentally incompatible with due process. Meet every requirement Congress set, but get denied because of the arbitrary animus of the executive, making an inherently legislative determination on what requirements exist.
p.s.: Asylum is also discretionary.

The Trump admin is planning to say that being from Cuba (or any other travel ban country) is a "significant negative factor" that could lead to a denial of any of several discretionary immigration benefits (like green cards).
Seriously; national origin discrimination as official government policy.

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.
