Instead of celebrating American athletes at the Olympics we’re dealing with an American President, Cabinet Member(s), business leaders, and media moguls’ involvement with child sexual assault and trafficking being covered up by the Federal Government. #FDT #Olympics #ThisIsNotNormal

Just a reminder that the President threatening communities with the insurrection act is a statement of weakness & declaration of dictatorship

Sometimes, the TODDI defence is just a whataboutism.

NEW YORK (AP) — Acceding to President Donald Trump’s demands, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Friday that she has ordered a top federal prosecutor to investigate sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s ties to Trump political foes, including former President Bill Clinton.

Bondi posted on X that she was assigning Manhattan U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton to lead the probe, capping an eventful week in which congressional Republicans released nearly 23,000 pages of documents from Epstein’s estate and House Democrats seized on emails mentioning Trump.

Trump, who was friends with Epstein for years, didn’t explain what supposed crimes he wanted the Justice Department to investigate. None of the men he mentioned in a social media post demanding the probe has been accused of sexual misconduct by any of Epstein’s victims.

Hours before Bondi’s announcement, Trump posted on his Truth Social platform that he would ask her, the Justice Department and the FBI to investigate Epstein’s “involvement and relationship” with Clinton and others, including former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and LinkedIn founder and Democratic donor Reid Hoffman.

Also, how rare is it to read an AP newspiece so dripping with #ThisIsNotNormal between the lines of every paragraph?
