Mighty Bondi at the bat: An Epstein strikeout anyone could have seen coming

The outlook wasn’t brilliant for Attorney General Pam Bondi. She moved to unseal the Epstein grand jury minutes, even though she knew she would lose.

Grand jury minutes are secret by law, and a reveal is rare. The precedents were decidedly against her, and three judges in two district courts eventually rejected her motion to unseal. It is a rare occurrence for an attorney general to make a motion wanting to lose, knowing she will lose.

We have an adversarial legal system in this country. Real litigators like to bring motions they think they can win. Bondi’s showcase effort to unseal the grand jury records, however, was a kamikaze mission from the start.

Only a Department of Justice headed by Bondi, loyal to Trump to a fault, would do such a thing. She claims to want to de-weaponize the law, but she has not said she is above subterfuge. The reasons will appear as self-evident.
