It is unlikely that a wayward F.B.I. field office is the full explanation for Attorney General Bondi’s fiasco of a document release, writes Elizabeth Vos.
(Consortium News) U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi went on a media offensive on Feb. 26, touting her office’s upcoming publication of the so-called “Epstein files” related to the case of the deceased child sex trafficker Jeffery Epstein, a financier who had elite contacts in business, politics and intelligence.
Although Bondi hyped the initial release the night before it was published as containing a plethora of (implied to be new) names and flight logs to Epstein’s private Caribbean island where some of his contacts had illicit rendezvous with under-age girls, Bondi’s release proved a total flop.

It consisted of previously published documents that were theatrically handed out to a handful of conservative influencers as if they would provide some new revelation.
In a letter written on Feb. 27 to newly confirmed F.B.I. Director Kash Patel, Bondi claimed to have been hoodwinked by the F.B.I.’s New York Field Office, and threatened to fire those found responsible for withholding files.
She wrote:
“Before you came into office, I requested the full and complete files related to Jeffrey Epstein. In response to this request, I received approximately 200 pages of documents, which consisted primarily of flight logs, Epstein’s list of contacts, and a list of victims’ names and phone numbers.”
I repeatedly questioned whether this was the full set of documents responsive to my request and was repeatedly assured by the F.B.I. that we had received the full set of documents. Late yesterday, I learned from a source that the F.B.I. Field Office in New York was in possession of thousands of pages of documents related to the investigation and indictment of Epstein.
Despite my repeated requests, the F.B.I. never disclosed the existence of these files…”
A Truckload
Last Monday came the resignation of James Dennehy, head of the F.B.I. Field Office in New York where Bondi claimed that thousands of Epstein documents had been withheld from her. Dennehy’s resignation letter didn’t specify whether his being forced out of the job was due to a coverup of the existence of Epstein files, as the timing would suggest.
Bondi told Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Monday that a “truckload” of thousands of Epstein-related documents had been delivered to her office on Feb. 28 from the Southern District of New York, where Epstein had been charged with sex trafficking minors in 2019, one month before his death.
Bondi said that F.B.I. Director Patel had assembled a team to comb through the documents.
“Friday at 8[am] a truckload of evidence arrived. It’s now in possession of the F.B.I., Kash is going to get me – and himself really – a detailed report as to why all these documents and evidence had been withheld,” she told Hannity.
Asked about redactions, Bondi said Epstein’s victims would be protected while vowing that “America has the right to know… everything is going to come out.”
At Hannity’s prompting, however, Bondi said she might also redact for reasons of “national security,” without elaborating.
Bondi also told Hannity that the release of both the JFK and MLK Jr. assassination files would be treated with the same transparency, repeating that Americans “have the right to know.”
A Deep Purge

Trump is in the process of purging people in the F.B.I. and Department of Justice who persecuted him during the Russiagate era. But those in the national security state are unlikely to give up without a fight.
Does Trump really intend full transparency, or does he simply want to fire parts of the Deep State that sill opposes him? Are the Epstein, JFK and other cases vehicles to simply sack those who oppose Trump, or a genuine effort to reveal explosive secrets and root out corruption?
Trump has supported parts of the Deep State that serve him, such as when the C.I.A. persecuted WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. The C.I.A. under Trump went so far as to consider assassinating and kidnapping the journalist.
Burning Questions
Because the first round of the Epstein publication failed to provide anything new it was roundly ridiculed. Bondi did not provide a clue what this truckload of documents will reveal, raising a number of questions.
Why would the Epstein evidence need to be redacted for national security reasons? Why, since Bondi hadn’t mentioned that reason for redaction, did Hannity raise it? Was there some involvement of national security or intelligence officers in the sex trafficking ring of minors, authorized or otherwise, which would need to be protected from public view?
The corporate media has highlighted Epstein’s wealth and celebrity acquaintances, while ignoring the origin of his meteoric rise – especially his links with intelligence agencies.
‘Belonged to Intelligence’
Epstein died in custody at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City in August of 2019, a mere one month after being arrested on federal charges of sex trafficking minors. His partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, was later convicted of sex trafficking minors and was eventually sentenced to 20 years in prison.
