The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

The FBI leadership is rightfully frustrated with Bondi's mishandling of the Epstein files after she promised transparency but delivered nothing new. Bondi overpromised a "client list" that never existed and botched the video release with that suspiciously missing minute. These dedicated law enforcement officials shouldn't have to take the fall for her failures.

Pro-establishment narrative

This internal drama is a baseless distraction from the real work of restoring justice and public safety. The administration conducted a thorough review that definitively proved Epstein committed suicide and found no evidence of a client list or cover-up. All leadership signed off on these findings, and attempts to sow division are unfounded.
