Der Moment, der zeigte, wie tief Team Trump sinken kann

There is no “right” thing to say to a woman who has survived rape and trafficking. The idea that there is a single phrase or some form of magic words to undo that level of pain or injustice is simply ridiculous.

No one knows that better than the victims of [Jeffrey Epstein](https://inews.co.uk/topic/jeffrey-epstein?srsltid=AfmBOoq9JpCESSNeLkx4Z2aR-reQ9S2A2qOapIYXTkwxvNOVCxsHMhEw&ico=in-line_link), who have had to endure first the abuse itself, then a sustained and years-long effort to cover up its extent, and then the charade of their abuse being weaponised into a conspiratorial political fantasy. These [victims](https://inews.co.uk/news/crime/epstein-abused-aged-16-disgusted-millionaires-flocked-4215861?ico=in-line_link) don’t want platitudes, they want answers – and, to the extent that it’s possible, justice.

Attorney General Pam Bondi had a chance to offer at least some of those victims answers on Wednesday when she [gave evidence in a public hearing to the House Judiciary Committee](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/what-learnt-pam-bondi-epstein-testimony-andrew-4231138?ico=in-line_link). Several of Epstein’s victims were in the room to hear Bondi in person. She could, if she chose to do so, look them in the eyes and address their questions.

Bondi had, after all, long presented herself as a champion of these women. When [Donald Trump](https://inews.co.uk/topic/donald-trump?srsltid=AfmBOopAJZULSP9kO5UO_T6Hr80V98rmc_98QAdjFF4RbQ82GkqF9d2o&ico=in-line_link) was campaigning to become president once again, Bondi was among his supporters, using Epstein as an election issue. Trump, with her help, she promised, would release everything and pursue justice.

Early in Trump’s presidency, Bondi even claimed to have [Epstein’s “client list” sitting on her desk](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/epstein-returns-to-haunt-trump-from-beyond-the-grave-3803541?srsltid=AfmBOorGUeRJzWYb63OVJRUw5ZDRXU4WFZ-Vx2P3ntLDNKOz6W8xff07&ico=in-line_link) – only to disappoint by handing printed-out binders of previously released documents to a hand-picked group of Maga influencers.

Bondi and the Trump administration instead had to be [forced by Congress to disclose the Epstein files](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/us-house-approves-release-of-epstein-files-in-historic-vote-4050976?srsltid=AfmBOoo8g6I09TL3j0oWzDyYdWOJCpwKKX0NnE9QZ8vOFJrKOpCSvxaj&ico=in-line_link), and are still – long after the legally mandated deadline has expired – [in the process of releasing those documents](https://inews.co.uk/news/andrew-invited-epstein-buckingham-palace-financiers-child-sex-conviction-emails-show-4206484?ico=in-line_link). Victims and members of Congress alike want answers on these disclosures: why are they so late? What has been redacted? What action will Bondi take on what’s being revealed in the documents?

Its not a team, it’s a regime. The Trump regime has circumvented the apparatus of the State and have rendered themselves above the law and beyond prosecution in that corrupt and lawless fascist shithole.

The real low is how no one is going to do a single fucking thing about any of this, and everyone accepts it as it is what it is.

A new low until tomorrow
