Yes. He learned that people loyal to the constitution were more difficult to corrupt.Trump hired these people because He learned the last time.
If Trump is in the files its because he knew Epstein and flew on his plane one time when Trump's jet was being repaired in NY.... Trump 86ed Epstein for flirting with a young girl at Mar A Lago... would Clinton ever do that?.... no....
If Pam Bondi is triggering you to this extent, that is proof she is doing a GREAT job!Taking the first place slot from the likes of John Mitchell, Ed Meese, Mitchell Palmer, and Bill Barr is no easy task. But Pam has sprinted out of the gate. She has presided over the DoJ's weaponization, turned a blind eye to the regime's refusal to comply with court orders, put an end to the anti-corruption task force, given contradictory statements about the Epstein file, tacitly approved violations of constitutional rights possessed by illegally deported immigrants, and now this.

Especially since Watergate, it has been vital that the DoJ maintain its independence from the executive branch of government. trump has violated that independence.
For those who believe in a unitary executive, DOJ/FBI independence is a constitutional solecism. On this view, Article II vests the “executive power” in the President alone, and he alone wields it. That means that the President can do what he likes with his Executive branch subordinates—hire them, fire them, ignore them, order them to act in certain ways, and the like. The presidential authority to direct and control an administration is especially clear with respect to law enforcement and national security, the story goes, since the President himself has a constitutional duty to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,” and is the “Commander in Chief.”
This is a nice theory. Sometimes (though not often) I wish that it were so. But the theory has been repudiated in law, and especially in practice, for a long time. There are far too many examples to cover, but here are a few relevant ones. The President can generally fire his political appointees at will, though the Supreme Court has long upheld certain statutory limitations on the President’s removal power (including in the context of the Clinton-era independent counsel statute). The FBI Director’s ten-year term—through which Congress signaled that the Director has independence from electoral politics—raises the political stakes for a President who fires an FBI Director mid-term, as President Trump learned last year. And career civil servants below these senior political appointees (like just-retired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe) have extensive legal protections against presidential firing.
Those are the main “legal” guarantees of DOJ/FBI independence. They are very few, and they are not the most important. The most important guarantees of DOJ/FBI come not from the Constitution or statutes, but from norms and practices that since Watergate have emerged within the Executive branch.

Over the weekend some conservative commentators pushed back on my tweet-claim that President Trump has “threaten[ed] DOJ/FBI over and over in gross violation of independencewww.lawfaremedia.org
Pam has become the enabler of a would be autocrat, which is just what she was chosen for. By both acquiescence and proactive measures she has shown herself to be as incompetent as she is co-opted. She's making Bill Barr's hideous "exonerated" lie look like child's play. And her term has only just begun.

We don't know if there was even a list... why would Epstein make a list?.... it sounds silly when you think about it... I think Comey made up a list and that's what's being looked into now....
But He found out they weren't. If they were, DNI Gabbard wouldn't be making criminal referrals.Yes. He learned that people loyal to the constitution were more difficult to corrupt.
Gabbard will say and do anything Trump tells her. The truth doesn’t matterBut He found out they weren't. If they were, DNI Gabbard wouldn't be making criminal referrals.
You'd like to think that some of these people, at some level, have some backbone.Gabbard will say and do anything Trump tells her. The truth doesn’t matter
Lefties have short memories. Maybe it's the TDS. Who could forget Hussein Obama's A.G. forced to resign after the debacle of "Operation Fast/Furious"? Since there is no statute of limitations on murder it seems that both Hussein and Holder could be indicted for at least manslaughter for their part in the gun running murders of an estimated hundreds of Mexicans not to mention the murder of a Border Patrol Officer with one of the weapons contained in Op Fast/Furious.
It was at a press conference. He declared it to the world that he would prevent Trump from becoming President again. And a few short months later the President's home was raided and then he was indicted by Biden's DOJ, several timesLike in a cabinet meeting? When was that?
It was an issue for years when right wingers were harping about it. For years, right wingers said the information was being suppressed to protect left wing pedophiles.They were only instructed to care about this when it was announced the Comey and Brennan were under investigation.
It's a non issue.
Do you have the date of this statement?It was at a press conference. He declared it to the world that he would prevent Trump from becoming President again. And a few short months later the President's home was raided and then he was indicted by Biden's DOJ, several times
LinkClinton actually took advantage of Epstein sex slaves and got rub downs from them
The declassified files says it all, Trump was right again.Gabbard will say and do anything Trump tells her. The truth doesn’t matter
Yep, hence why he’s firing the corrupt xiden holdoversYes. He learned that people loyal to the constitution were more difficult to corrupt.
Ah ha ha.....try the evening news.Link
The declassified file are the conclusions of the Trump loving House Republicans. The idea that everyone else had to accept their partisan assessment as fact is pretty outlandish.The declassified files says it all, Trump was right again.
You can't handle the truth. All these years you've been making arguments totally based on lies perpetrated by your party and your news sources.
Sit back and enjoy the ride.
