Elvis, Epstein, and what Pam Bondi is hiding

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE: Is the Justice Department muddying the waters on purpose?

Kurt Cobain? Janis Joplin? Elvis?

What, exactly, do these people have to do with Jeffrey Epstein?

They’re on a list — supposedly of “all government officials and ‘politically exposed persons’ named or referenced in the released materials” — that’s part of Attorney General Pam Bondi’s final letter to Congress on the Epstein Files Transparency Act. In the six-page document, she officially announces that she has “released all ‘records, documents, communications and investigative materials in the possession of the Department,” as required by the law.

“Mission Accomplished,” right?

Actually, not quite. Let us explain.
