I don't think this would have happened if it weren't for the passage of the Epstein Transparency Act, if it wasn't for us holding her in contempt, calling to hold her in contempt, calling to impeach her, saying that she was in violation of the Epstein Transparency Act, not letting her get away with the idea that there was nothing to see.
Remember, that's what she said.
I've released everything that we have.
And then it comes out that there are three million files that they hadn't released.
And everything has been such a fight.
And this is Trump is a lot of things.
But what he what he isn't is a bad reader of public opinion.
And he knew that a Bondi had twisted herself into pretzels and mishandled the Epstein files.
In fact, Susie Wilds, the chief of staff, said as much in a Vanity Fair interview that she's totally whiffed and handling Epstein.
I mean, they went from a situation where they thought Epstein was about democratic donors to a situation where Epstein has been the biggest kryptonite for Donald Trump.
She became toxic.
I mean, she thought, OK, I just have to win the favor of Donald Trump with loyalty.
But this is not a private cabinet meeting.
This is her being a surrogate, a representative for Donald Trump.
And Donald Trump doesn't want someone representing him who's going to lose the confidence of Republicans in Congress, who's going to lose the confidence of the MAGA base.
I mean, the
God gone on, Sean Ryan and Theo Vaughn and podcasters, many of them who supported Trump.
I mean, Vaughn is toxic among all of those podcasters.
So Trump knows that she's an enormous political liability.
And that's why she was fired.
