In July, an FBI memo about the Epstein case said: “We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.”
But in a desperate deflection today, Trump ordered AG Bondi to investigate Bill Clinton. She got right on it.

I got a conversation about the Disqualification clause of the constitution going on Reddit. Imagine if a grassroots movement started to apply this to everyone implicated in that insurrection. The way it's worded we could do this all over the country and clean house.
