His MAGA worshippers won't desert him over the Epstein files. He will do what has always done and what put him in office: Lie. His worshippers will continue to believe him. I'm surprised that he hasn't released them.
One wonders whether Pam Bondi will rise to the challenge(s) Trump puts upon her or take the knee and be known down through the ages as not half so interested in American justice as she is interested in over-looking American justice to please Trump's latest whim. If the past 8 months are indicative, she'll have her place in history, but it won't be a good one.
Being a convicted felon himself, Trump is convinced that everyone who works in his administration is as corrupt, inept, and lawless as himself. Of course they mostly are, especially his cabinet of curiosities--who would be better viewed behind bars rather than sitting in meetings in the Oval Office.
There is a redder line that the Mob Boss may cross. That will be when he has his Gestapo arresting US citizens without any pretense of criminal activity. He's doing it now with people who appear to be Latino or from other foreign countries, but I don't expect he feels any restraint there. I think we could see people like Kimmel being arrested on stage or in a studio.
ICE and HSI are already doing this. They blew open a door in OK, and stole $3K. They're picking up US citizens off the street for not having their papers, and the six Christian Nationalists on the Supreme Court are now allowing it.

Bribable Bondi will do whatever her master says....unless someone comes along with a better offer, of course. She proved years ago, that she can be bought if the price is right.
All of your writers discussed different aspects of the same authoritarian country we are now living in. Just an observation. The truth right now is pretty ugly.
James Comer and Gym Jordan should be screaming about the weaponization of the Justice Department. As they were a scant 3-4 years ago. But I hear crickets.
What a pathetic but frightening showing of our President. This bullying should not be allowed to continue. Shame on the Congresspeople and Supreme Court Judges for not controlling the misuse of our government and laws by an obviously dictator of a president.
I think now is the time for us to look into the word "coward".
Literally defined as ": one who shows disgraceful fear or timidity", the coward moves away from what he knows as "right" to positions he knows is definitely "wrong" for one reason or another, but always because of his fear of standing tall to what he knows to be right. They (cowards) do not have the courage to stand for right for many reasons, timidity being only one. Many in today's U.S. government make themselves cowards for profit of one sort or another (money, power, office, etc.).
All are reprehensible, and have no place in government. We, as a country need to find a way to keep them out and we need to do this now!
Bondi could have the last laugh by releasing the Epstein videos.

Epstein, Epstein, Epstein......
one more positive thought: as AG she can indict the orange felon if there is evidence of a crime in the Epstein files
The president cannot be prosecuted for a past crime while in office.

What are the Epstein files supposed to accomplish for us? There are mega reasons to impeach Trump without that.

Clearly written and concise. Very much appreciated the gained insights.
No integrity in the executive branch whatsoever.😡😠🤬

Just wait till journalists start getting arrested. Not kidding.
Yes. I believe it will happen.

The photo is illuminating, and creepy at the same time.
No one is safe.
He probably will be ordereing the arrest of people soon without the pretense of charges. Will any Federal law enforcement officers disobey?

Aren't the Trumpists in the House of Representatives still trying to "investigate" the "weaponization" of the DoJ during the Biden Administration?
The irony is palpable
Mimi Rocah is the best. Enough said.
