OK. LET'S SAY PAMMIE lets next week's Epstein deadline slide, and therefore has "committed a crime."

Pam Bondi will have "committed a crime" if she does not fully comply with the deadline to release ALL of the files, not a trickle.

OTHER THAN BONDI REPLYING "BLOW ME," AND NOTHING WHATSOEVER HAPPENING TO HER, what do we expect the fallout to be? That's what will happen, right? She'll do that Pammie scowl and yell "BLOW ME" and Congress will say "Whatever you say, m'am."

DO WE THINK she will FULLY COMPLY? Seems to me that if she does, she's putting herself in the crosshairs for America's Favorite Rapin' Grampy's wrath.


CONTEXT:

Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, who led the charge to circumvent GOP leadership and force the legislation, warned that the DOJ would be committing a crime if they do not abide by next week’s deadline.

“It’s a crime if they don’t. It’s not like they’re in contempt of Congress because they didn’t respond to a subpoena. This is a new law with criminal implications if they don’t follow it,” the Kentucky Republican said.

Massie noted, however, that he was “encouraged” that more grand jury materials have been released to the DOJ.

Garcia called Friday for the administration to release what they can now, rather than wait until the deadline, and noted that there are other photos that are “incredibly disturbing.”

But, clearly, they don't ever intend to leave power. Dictatorships are not forever though.

...being AWARE of Trump's taunts and threats to never leave, but never BUYING INTO IT.

I have no idea how America will react if...as an example...he either tries to CANCEL the 2028 election, or if Newsom or any other Dem wins, running to the SCOTUS for another Bush v Gore "ruling," regardless of the margin of victory.

He's threatening ALL of that, including simply refusing to leave.

And I'm not going to spend the next 3 years cowering in fear over what he "might" do.
