Per Martha MacCullum at Fox, Bongino is pissed over the announcement from Bondi about not releasing the Epstein files.

Bongino stormed out of a meeting on Wednesday, has threatened to resign, and has not been seen at work since.

Bondi and Patel both say they are staying on.

Trump is backing Bondi.

So much for Bondi having smooth sailing at the DOJ.

She's probably getting death threats.

She still has time to put things right. But it’s not going to just magically happen on its own.

For now, her saving grace is that Trump still backs her.

This entire saga has been so friggin weird.

All the White House and/or the DOJ would have to say is, "the information covered in the Epstein Files run much deeper than we thought and we're still looking into them. We will release what we can as soon as possible." I think that would help ease some of the anger a lot of us are feeling towards the administration over this situation.

But of course, Bongino is threatening to leave. (And I like Bongino.)

Edit: Reports are saying he just took the day off. (And I didn't get a chance to edit it until now because the site was down on my end. I might have to reset my modem. I wonder if that's the issue.)

I was never on the release the files bandwagon because I never believed anyone would.

It's delightful watching these people reap what they've sown after stoking the conspiracy fires over Epstein for years now.

to me, this situation is the sort that demands all of the evidence be released and shared with the public. I truly don’t care at all who is bothered or embarrassed or damaged by it.

I'm honestly surprised Biden DOJ staffers haven't started talking.

What is implicated that both sides of the aisle are uncomfortable with? Whale donors?

Are you saying Epstein wasn't a pedophile that trafficked young girls internationally? There is no "Conspiracy" regarding Epstein.

Now reports that Kash Patel is considering leaving with Bongino if Bondi stays.

yep

Its time to bring him in.

I didn't have this on my bingo card.

They must really think she screwed something up or someone over biggly. Trump needs to be careful with who he sides with in this.

Eh. Let em leave. If they are that thinned skinned, we don't need em. If they are the lawmen, they claim to be then they know they can do more good staying than leaving. If they want to die on this hill, then let them.

I'm giving this the 72 hour rule. Bongino will probably make a post stating that he's on vacation and everyone in the media is an idiot.
