The Corner has suffered in recent weeks from an appalling lack of Dan Bongino content; I am here to remedy the situation. For those unaware — and I mentioned this story in this week’s Carnival of Fools — the deputy director of the FBI apparently had a meeting for the ages last Wednesday at the Justice Department, one where he barked at Attorney General Pam Bondi and threatened to quit his job unless she quit hers.
A bold threat indeed — especially from a man who holds an appointed (rather than confirmed) position in Trump’s cabinet and is therefore clearly the replaceable cog in the machine. This all stems from the fallout of Bondi’s sheepish announcement that “Phase I” of the Epstein files, rolled out with such anticlimactic hilarity to handpicked MAGA influencers back in late February, was actually “Phase the Last” — and that the DOJ was officially closing the book on Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide once and for all. No “client list” would be forthcoming. In fact — oops! — Bondi misspoke when she promised the world several months ago that any such “client list” was “sitting on my desk waiting for review.”
