Why can't we talk about how @PamBondi was the Attorney General of Florida the entire time Jeffrey Epstein was raping young girls in Florida?
How come she never shut him down?
I want to remind everyone that Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, who is good friends with Pam Bondi, was heavily criticized for allowing Jeffrey Epstein special favors as well as early work release under his watch.
Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw just won his 6th term in Palm Beach in 2024.
Who is being protected?

The Law’s Trump-Size Hole Is Suddenly Exposed The judicial system has started to rule against the administration’s decimation of the civil service. If only it could actually enforce its rulings.

If the president defies the courts and Congress does not impeach him for it, the Constitution simply ceases to exist.

The game is clear. We can see it. They're not even hiding it. There is not a rule of law anymore. There is one set of law for people who are loyal to Donald Trump, and there is one set of law for people who care criticize him. That is not democracy - Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.
