The time to demand Bondi’s resignation or impeachment is NOW. Press them hard, put them on the defensive, and make this a key issue in the midterms.
It highlights everything wrong with the GOP — cult like loyalty to Trump, complete lawlessness, elite entitlement, etc.

#EpsteinCoverup is so blatantly hamfisted, it's political malpractice if Dems don't attack full bore: Impeach Bondi as the means to make it a defining issue next year in run-up to midterms.
Removing this obviously distributed-a-billion-times photo of Trump w/Melania, Epstein, & Maxwell from the DOJ release of files only points out the FBI team's foolish, slapdash attempt to cover up *any existence* of the adjudicated sexual assaulter FOTUS in them.

Trump's Epstien cover-up is the most incompetent cover-up ever.
Here's a better view of the now-deleted photo showing Trump with Epstein and Trump with a group of young girls.
The photo was originally posted as item EFTA00000468 but was later deleted. Now the 'official' list simply jumps from EFTA00000467 to EFTA00000469.

The next turn in American politics could be a widespread reaction against Trumpism as a political style, with its vulgarity, hatefulness, and constant threat of violence. If that happens the Republicans who remade themselves in Trump's image will be in trouble.
