'[The Epstein Client List] Is Sitting on my Desk Right Now'

Pam Bondi, Attorney General of the United States, February 21, 2025: ‘[The Epstein client list] is sitting on my desk right now’

Via Mint, February 22, 2025 (emphasis added):

“Jeffrey Epstein client list is “sitting on my desk right now,” US Attorney General Pam Bondi said on Friday, following President Donald Trump’s earlier directives ordering the release of records.

In an interview with Fox News, Bondi said she is reviewing “a lot of documents,” including the Jeffrey Epstein client list, because it was a “directive” from Trump himself.

“I’m reviewing JFK (John F Kennedy) files, MLK (Martin Luther King) files, that’s all in the process of being reviewed,” she added.

When asked if she’s seen anything that made her go, “Oh my gosh”, Bondi said, “Not yet!””

Pam Bondi, February 27, one week later: Dear FBI, where is the Epstein client list?

After promising bombshell revelations including the release of the Epstein client list — which she claimed to have “on her desk” — then delivering a nothing-burger, Bondi writes this curious letter to FBI Director Kash Patel, dated February 27:

“Before you came into office, I requested the full and complete files related to Jeffrey Epstein. In response to this request, I received approximately 200 pages of documents, which consisted primarily of flight logs, Epstein's list of contacts, and a list of victims' names and phone numbers.

I repeatedly questioned whether this was the full set of documents responsive to my request and was repeatedly assured by the FBI that we had received the full set of documents. Late yesterday; I learned from a source that the FBI Field Office in New York was in possession of thousands of pages of documents related. to the investigation and indictment of Epstein.”

To recap: One week ago, Pam Bondi had all the Epstein bombshell revelations on her desk and was prepared to drop that bombshell on the world, come hell or high water, in the interest of the much-vaunted Trump 2.0 “radical transparency.”

Now, Pam Bondi has what she knows to be a paltry sampling of the entire cache of documents and claims the FBI is hiding them from her — documents which, again, she previously claimed were on her desk.

Make it make sense, please.

From Epstein To Diddy: Spotlight Shines On James Comey's Prosecutor Daughter

Speaking Jeffrey Epstein and things being kept under wraps (more on that later), a prosecutor with a famous last name quietly joined the sex trafficking case against Sean "Diddy Combs late last year…

In a thinly covered news story from December that's suddenly relevant again (read on), New York Prosecutor Maurene Comey - whose father James Comey famously refused to prosecute Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified information & then participated in the Russia collusion hoax - joined the prosecution against Combs. The younger Comey has previously worked as lead prosecutor on both the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases, as well as that of former Epstein cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione. More on that below…

Combs is currently facing multiple serious legal charges, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for purposes of prostitution. These charges stem from allegations that, from at least 2008 to the present, the impresario led a criminal enterprise aimed at exploiting and abusing women, protecting his reputation, and concealing his conduct. The alleged crimes encompass sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.

Multiple allegations of sexual misconduct involving minors have been made. Last October, attorney Tony Buzbee announced he was representing 120 individuals accusing Combs of sexual misconduct; 25 of these accusers were minors at the time of the alleged incidents - while he's also been accused of drugging and sexually assaulting a 10-year-old boy in a New York City hotel in 2005 and a 17-year-old boy in 2008 who aspired to be on the reality TV show "Making the Band."

Mississippi Judge Orders Newspaper To Remove Editorial Criticizing City Council

There is a chilling case of censorship out of Clarksdale, Mississippi, where a court ordered a local newspaper to delete a publication that the city claimed was libelous.

It is not clear that The Clarksdale Press Register editorial by publisher Floyd Ingram did constitute libel. Ultimately, the city backed down, but the actions of both the local officials and the court remain troubling.

Ingram’s article, “Secrecy, Deception Erode Public Trust,” criticized the mayor and city council of Clarksdale for the lack of public notice before it passed a resolution to establish a 2 percent tax on retailers selling alcohol, tobacco, hemp, and marijuana.

Ironically, Ingram supported the “sin tax” to support “public safety, crime prevention, and continuing economic growth in the city.”

However, he objected that, before the government “sent [the] resolution to the Mississippi Legislature,” it “fail[ed] to go to the public with details about this idea.”

He added, “Maybe [city commissioners] just want a few nights in Jackson to lobby for this idea—at public expense.”

The city went ballistic.

The city council voted unanimously to sue the Press-Register for libel. Mayor Chuck Espy declared “I would like for the record to reflect, even though I did not vote, I am in full support, and I am fully vested in the decisions that the four commissioners unanimously said.”

Of course, these politicians could set the record straight by simply responding publicly to the allegations. Interestingly, the clerk appeared to confirm that the public notice on the resolution was a snafu. During the litigation, the clerk confirmed that “I customarily e-mail the media any Notice of Special Meeting. However, I inadvertently failed to do so.”

“There have been infringements on free speech that actually impact not just the British… but also impact American technology companies and by extension American citizens,” Vance told Starmer and the reporters in the room.

“So that is something that we’ll talk about today at lunch.”

Starmer, clearly irked by the comments responded, “We’ve had free speech for a very very long time in the United Kingdom and it will last for a very very long time,” adding that he is “proud” of his stance on free speech.

Tech Titan Microsoft Partnered Extensively with USAID on Third World Internet Projects

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) became the most visible symbol of government waste and ideological partisanship after DOGE exposed the vast sums it spent around the world promoting a variety of leftist causes including online censorship. What is less well-known is the now-shuttered agency’s work with big tech companies, notably Microsoft.

In 2023, Microsoft partnered with Internews, a USAID-funded global slush fund for journalists, to create the Media Viability Accelerator (MVA). The MVA sought to combine Microsoft’s tech resources with Internews’ global network of ideologically aligned journalists, allowing newsrooms to access market insights, data aggregation, analysis and visualization from Microsoft to support their efforts.

Microsoft and USAID also partnered on the progressive cause of women’s empowerment. A program called the Women’s Digital Inclusion Partnership saw Microsoft working with USAID to increase internet coverage for women in the third world. The program aimed to increase internet connectivity for women in rural areas of Columbia, Ghana, Guatemala, India and Kenya.

It’s unclear if this USAID-backed program was any more successful that the U.S. government’s domestic rural internet program, which according to analysts resulted in $42.5 billion in expenditure while connecting zero citizens.

Another USAID-Microsoft partnership on internet connectivity was the Airband Initiative, which aims to expand internet access around the world. The partnership brought together local coalitions of government agencies, nonprofits, and private sector companies to build digital infrastructure and provide “digital skills” training. The program aimed to expand internet access to 250 million people by the end of 2025, including 100 million people in Africa.

Finally, in collaboration with the global consultancy Resonance, a USAID-Microsoft partnership worked with local internet service providers in Africa to improve the connectivity of local institutions. At least one local ISP, Ekovolt, claims the program was a success.

Judicial Watch Sues National Archives for JFK Assassination Records

Judicial Watch announced today it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) for records about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. National Archives and Records Administration (1:25-cv-00577)).

Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit after the National Archives failed to respond to a January 20, 2025, FOIA request for:

All previously unreleased records in the possession of the National Archives and Records Administration regarding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. This request includes, but is not limited to, all records transferred to NARA by the Assassination Records Review Board.

On January 19, 2025, then President-Elect Donald Trump announced his intention to make public the “remaining records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.” On January 23, an executive order was issued to that effect:

More than 50 years after the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Federal Government has not released to the public all of its records related to those events. Their families and the American people deserve transparency and truth. It is in the national interest to finally release all records related to these assassinations without delay.

Zelensky to Skip Press Conference with Trump After He’s Kicked Out of The White House – Trump Says “Zelensky is Not Ready for Peace”

I can’t tell you exactly what is going on, whether politics has so blinded Francis Collins and other researchers to the law, or whether scientists now feel comfortable and relaxed about behaving like criminals and lying to Congress. But something is definitely wrong. When I was a Senate investigator 15 years back, researchers were careful to not lie to Congress.

But since both Tony Fauci and Scripps Kristian Andersen have been caught lying to Congress without facing consequences, this has apparently emboldened Francis Collins to also lie. Collins remains employed at the NIH so I contacted him at his government email, asking him to explain the false information filed with Congress.

Collins did not respond to explain himself.

Collins sent a letter to the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic filled with ticky-tacky complaints about their final report that concluded the National Institutes of Health, through Tony Fauci, funded gain-of-function virus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology—the same lab the CIA believes likely started the pandemic.

Filing material misrepresentations with Congress is illegal and actionable under the law so I can’t explain why Collins sent this letter filled with falsehoods. Normally when Congress releases a report people named in that report just hide, hoping nobody notices they were named.
