I will simply repeat that I hope everyone continues watching Pam Bondi’s unfolding mess in great detail. It’s going to get a lot worse as the issues get more serious.

Attorney General Pam Bondi delivered a failing performance today with a ridiculous theatrical “Epstein Binders” exhibition delivered to White House assembled “influencers.”  [They look like idiots]

A group of highly followed people from social media, were apparently recruited by someone in/around the orbit of Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt to visit the White House. I’m told the undiscussed agenda was to introduce the influencers to JD Vance, as part of the preliminary operation for Vance ’28 [Similar to Pushaw and DeSantis in ’22].

Attorney General Pam Bondi, always looking for the best performance for public imagery, took the opportunity of their visit to give the influencers an exclusive insider series of “Epstein Files” custom printed in a binder for them. However, the Epstein files delivered are nothing more than simple documents already in the public [Online pdf].

After talking for the past several days about her intention to reveal explosive Epstein files, Bondi way overpromised and severely underdelivered.  Then again, when it’s a performance, that tends to happen. But wait, it gets worse….

AG Bondi then generated a letter for public consumption, blaming the FBI New York Field Office for hiding and withholding Epstein materials.  Apparently, the Attorney General was unaware that Gislaine Maxwell was prosecuted in New York and all the Epstein evidence was co-located with the trial venue as some of the post-conviction legal arguments and appeals are taking place.

Things in South Texas look a little sketchy.  A Texas rancher was killed by an Improvised Explosive Device, and the warning from the Texas AG Commissioner is stark:

Meanwhile Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is proposing changes to the Mexican constitution in order to protect the Cartels from the designation as terrorists by the United States.

MEXICO CITY — Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum said Thursday she will propose constitutional reforms aimed at protecting Mexico’s sovereignty after U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration designated six Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.

I want Pam Bondi, Kash Patel and Dan Bongino to be successful.  However, if I am to understand the excitement at the Bondi, Patel, Bongino positions, then I must accept their understanding of the corruption within the silos they now lead.  I do not understand, nor accept that premise.

The modern FBI is the police agency of a weaponized U.S government, with a direct and purposeful mandate to keep the American people under control through strict surveillance and a violent police state.

Understand and accept this with great seriousness, there are no honorable “rank and file” inside this organization.

Every member of the FBI is a participant in the weaponization of power and government. The members are jackboots recruited from ideological college campuses for exactly the purpose of supporting a Stasi-like police state.

Through the past several years, we have discovered how the FBI worked inside Twitter, Facebook and social media to control information, remove content and manipulate opinion on behalf of the U.S. government – all activity political.

We have also learned the FBI took active measures to suppress information about the Hunter Biden laptop and control any negative consequences for the Biden regime – again, political.  These are not disputed realities.

The U.S. Dept of Justice and FBI are now political institutions that have abandoned their originating mission in order to become the domestic equivalent of the Soviet-era FSB. Their joint targeting mechanisms have been redesigned to support the interests of corrupt DC politicians, specifically the interests of Democrats.

FBI Director Kash Patel has selected Dan Bongino to be the Deputy FBI Director.  The position does not need senate confirmation.

President Trump praised the selection on his Truth Social account [SEE HERE] and it will be a selection very well received by the conservative base of support.

President Trump: “Great news for Law Enforcement and American Justice! Dan Bongino, a man of incredible love and passion for our Country, has just been named the next DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE FBI, by the man who will be the best ever Director, Kash Patel. Dan has a Masters Degree in Psychology from C.U.N.Y., and an MBA from Penn State. He was a member of the New York Police Department (New York’s Finest!), a highly respected Special Agent with the United States Secret Service, and is now one of the most successful Podcasters in the Country, something he is willing and prepared to give up in order to serve. Working with our great new United States Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and Director Patel, Fairness, Justice, Law and Order will be brought back to America, and quickly. Congratulations Dan!”

Well, this is interesting… Or then again, well, it could be just another political Bondi bondo effort.

During a segment of Fox News, Attorney General Pam Bondi says she has the Epstein client list on her desk, and follows up with, “I’m reviewing that.”   Meanwhile, like most non-pretending observers, Sandra Smith maintains a suspicious cat face the entire time. WATCH:

Every lib who accused Trump of being implicated in the Epstein case looks really dumb right now.

Pam Bondi just said that Trump directed her to release the Epstein client list. 👀 pic.twitter.com/wi4ayqUx7V

The Senate will vote today on Kash Patel’s nomination to lead the FBI. If confirmed, Patel will be the 18th Cabinet official approved by lawmakers since President Donald Trump’s inauguration one month ago. Hearing from the base of supporters, almost all republicans have now rallied around Patel; finally admitting the FBI needed structural reform.

A cloture vote to end debate is just completed.  Mitch McConnell voted to affirm Patel, and 51-47 was the final cloture vote.  The final full Senate confirmation vote is expected at 1:45pm EST and should be consistent with the cloture outcome. Livestream Link Below:

There is a White House Press secretary briefing at 1:00 pm, the full Senate vote confirming Kash Patel is at 1:45 pm. President Trump is having a White House event at 3:00 pm and will speaking to the Republican governors at 7:20 pm.

According to Senator Markwayne Mullin, the Senate is anticipated to hold a confirmation vote for U.S. Secretary of Commerce nominee Howard Lutnick later today.

Immediately following the Lutnick vote, in this executive session of the Senate, Senator Mullin anticipates the cloture vote to end debate on FBI Director Kash Patel will also follow.  That would put the full senate vote for Patel’s confirmation on a timeline for final vote Thursday.

With a party-line 12-10 vote from the Senate Judiciary Committee, FBI Director nominee Kash Patel is now set for the next phase of two votes in the full Senate. Majority Leader John Thune will now schedule a cloture vote to close debate and then a subsequent full senate confirmation vote.

WASHINGTON, Feb 13 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump’s pick to head the FBI, Kash Patel, won the approval of the Republican-controlled U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, clearing the way for a vote to confirm a director who has called for a radical reshaping of the nation’s top law enforcement agency.

In a 12-10 party-line vote, the panel approved Patel’s nomination despite deep reservations by Democrats who said he is unfit to lead the bureau.

“We are inviting a political disaster if we put Kash Patel into this job,” said the panel’s top Democrat, Dick Durbin.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley, a Republican of Iowa, said Patel had been fully vetted and subjected to “relentless attacks on his character” throughout the confirmation process.

Patel’s nomination has not yet been scheduled for full Senate debate and votes. (read more)

According to Glenn Beck, on Kash Patel’s first day the confirmed FBI Director is going to release the list of Epstein clients.

The remarks and formal swearing in ceremony are essentially uneventful; however, it is President Trump’s remarks at the conclusion of the swearing in ceremony that will catch the majority of attention from the geopolitical observers and the DC machine.  We will break out that part in a different post.

In the interim, here is the swearing in ceremony for Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard.  WATCH:
