Pam Bondi's Approval Tanks Over Epstein Files — Not Her Own Record?
While the Epstein files certainly stir public outrage, one might wonder if Pam Bondi's approval would have fared any better if media outlets consistently reminded the public of her alleged record. This is, after all, the same Pam Bondi who, as Florida's Attorney General, received a $25,000 donation from a Donald Trump charity just as her office decided not to pursue a fraud investigation into
Trump University. The optics were so glaring even Trump himself paid a federal fine over the improper donation. So, an ethical lapse tied to a presidential election campaign? Crickets. A perceived delay in releasing files on a now-deceased sex offender? National outrage. It seems accountability, like justice, is sometimes parceled out based on which scandal generates the most clicks, not
necessarily which one speaks more to a politician's character and consistent actions.
