Pam Bondi needs to be prosecuted for her role in covering up the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein. And NOT just for today but when she was Florida AG from 2011 to 2019 at very time Epstein was committing crimes in her very state. My new article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/pam-bondi-...
Pam Bondi should be in jail for covering up for Jeffrey Epstein’s heinous crimes!
