Pam Bondi gets BRUTAL UPDATE amid Epstein coverup

I'm joined now by Congressman Dan. Goldman. Thanks for joining me. Thanks so much for having me, Brian. So, Congressman, we just saw Kristi Noem. endure a pretty bruising line of. questioning a few days ago at at these. congressional hearings that obviously. resulted in her losing her job. And so, recognizing that these administration. officials are not necessarily immune to. pressure, how does that make you think. about Pam Bondi, for example, as she is. anticipating her own congressional. hearing. and she and as she continues to cover up.

these Epstein files? Yeah, well, it's. it's somewhat apples and oranges. I. think Kristi Noem demonstrated herself. to be unqualified, unaware of what's going on, unwilling to. take any responsibility or to hold any. accountability on anyone. But perhaps. the one thing that she did that. really got her fired is she blamed. Donald Trump for something that well,

period. Blamed for something, whether. true or not, it doesn't matter. And so, Pam Bondi's in a little bit of a. different circumstance. I think her. performance in front of the me and and. the House Judiciary Committee of a few. weeks ago was far worse than Kristi. Noem's performance. But keep in mind, Pam Bondi knows where all the Epstein. secrets are. She has been part of this.

massive cover-up. And if Donald Trump. fires her, he is opening up the. possibility of Bondi turning against. her, which I think is the reason why he. hasn't fired anyone to date. Is he saw. what happened when he fired people in. his first term and they often turned. against him. And you see Bill Barr and. John Bolton and you know, a host of. other people. And Bondi knows too much. about him. She knows where all the. skeletons in the closet are for him. I.

have no doubt in my mind right now that. this is a massive cover-up to protect. Donald Trump and Bondi is at the center. of it. So, it's very unlikely that she. will get fired. And so, can you talk. about any personal liability that she. might shoulder or any consequences we. might see for Pam Bondi by virtue of the. fact that she is really a willful. participant in this entire cover-up. I. mean, we know, for example, that she. refuses to release 3 million files. We. know, as I mentioned before, that we. have co-conspirators' names who've been. released while victims' names have been.

exposed. And so, is there, you know, because she's the. attorney general, is that it? Is there. some world where she shoulders any legal. exposure after she's out of office? Sure. I mean, there's a 5-year statute. of limitations. Criminal contempt would. obviously be the the one that. you would focus on as it relates to the. Epstein Files Transparency Act. But I would want to know more than that. I would want to know whether. there are any witnesses who were.

precluded from coming and talking to. them. Whether there were any threats, whether. there was any additional aspect to a. cover-up, Ghislaine Maxwell and that. Todd Blanche Hall discussion. Because there could be obstruction of. justice as well. in in depending on what happens. We. don't have that information. But a. cover-up is an obstruction of justice. And so, there are lots of different ways.

that you can get to that. the that through the the criminal law. You know, Congressman, you you obviously. were were a were counsel when Trump was. being impeached. And so, you're well. aware of what it looks like when. when Congress does its job, when the. legislative branch does its job to hold. corrupt administration officials to. account. I think a lot of people see. what's happening right now and and have. this this feeling that we are in a a a.

post-legal world where all of these. people can just get away with their. crimes and because they they engage in. this criminal activity so frequently. that we're no longer able to to be in a. place where the law applies to any of. them. And so, it gives them a feeling of. of impunity. And obviously, they've run. with that. This is the most corrupt. administration we've ever seen. The the. financial corruption is staggering. The. legal corruption is staggering. Trump's. wielding the DOJ as his personal cudgel. against his political enemies. And so,

what needs to happen in the aftermath of. this administration to hold these folks. to account? And and can you talk about. that especially through the lens of. having gone through a Biden. administration where that wasn't really. a priority, where the priority was. mostly preventing the optics of. politicization? Yeah, and I'm perhaps over overdone. You know, gone too far on the other side. of that. I I think there are a couple of. different ways of tackling this. And the. the one thing that that you didn't.

mention in your litany of things that. they have done that are just so. blatantly corrupt is the fact that the. FBI is not investigating. the those who killed Alex Pretty and. Renee Good. And what that really does. give the ICE agents, CBP officers, that. feeling of invincibility and impunity. because they know that their brother. executive branch agency at the FBI is.

not going to hold them accountable. And. so, it is that feeling of impunity. It. is that knowledge that well, Donald Trump is doing all of this stuff. and he seems to be getting away with it. So, I'm going to do it as well. I I. always go back, Brian, to this shocking. comment that Chairman James Comer made. at the Oversight Committee when he was. asked why he spent so much time on the.

Hunter Biden investigation. that related to 30, maybe 20 or 30. million dollars of money from foreign. entities, not even foreign governments. And that he's not at all investigating. Donald Trump receiving a 400 million. dollar plane from Qatar or all of these. investments in crypto companies from. foreign countries and and foreign. companies that are just padding his. wallet. And Comer's response was, "Well,

Donald Trump does it all out in the. open." Right. Oh, yeah, after after all, like committing crimes in broad daylight. makes them not crimes. Exactly. And so, you are right that there's a massive. accountability gap and the Republicans. have done nothing. The FBI has done. nothing and we can't expect them to. So, we have two phases. The first phase will. be when we take back the majority in. Congress. Donald Trump will still be. president for 2 years. But we will initiate.

a host of investigations. And it will be somewhat of a. decision point where how many and which. ones because. you do want to make sure that you're. covering the gamut of conduct, but you. also only have so many resources. So, that will be an important part. And. similar to how I did the impeachment. investigation, you know, we're going to get massive. obstruction from this administration. So, we're going to have to figure out.

alternative ways of getting information. and proving the case, which we had to do. as well in the impeachment. investigation. So, it's it's not going. to be straightforward and easy, but it. is going to be something that we are. very very focused on. Then you mentioned. after 2028, after Trump is gone, after. this administration is gone and. hopefully there's a new Democratic. administration, then you've got the. possibility of criminal prosecutions. And that that can be. good dating back usually the statute of.

limitations is 5 years. So, it can go. back for the whole term and even in the. campaign before if there's something. relevant to that. >> And and doesn't the clock start once the. crime is finished? And so, if they're. still engaged in this criminal activity, if they're still engaged in this. corruption, if Pam Bondi is still. suppressing the Epstein files and and. defying the Epstein Files Transparency. Act, like the clock is still running. So, that 5-year that 5-year window. hasn't even begun yet. No, that that that is absolutely true. and it.

you know, for the most part. And so, I. don't think the the timing of it is. going to matter that much in terms of. the statute of limitations. I and it and. look, there's always the question when a. new administration comes in, how much backward-looking stuff are you. going to do and how much forward-looking. stuff are you going to do? And I think. though that. because of the reasons you said that. there's a a feeling that we live in this. post-legal world where the rich and.

powerful or the well-connected are not. held to account, are not held to the. same rules and laws that everybody else. is, we have to do some of that. accountability. We have to restore faith. in the rule of law that it is applied. equally and that even those who are. powerful are the ones who they will be. held to account just like everybody. else. And that was certainly how I. approached things as a federal.

prosecutor when I was doing that for 10. years is. I was I was looking for, you know, the. the real masterminds, right? The ones. who are really at the top of the. pyramid, not the the ones at the bottom. doing the dirty work. because those are the ones A who are. really responsible, but B. have a much greater deterrent effect on. other people doing it in the future. And. that's why doing at least some of these.

criminal investigations is going to be. very important. And and I think also important is going. to be figuring out how to walk and chew. gum at the same time because there needs. to be, you know, a a forward-looking. agenda as well, especially in light of. the fact that, you know, there is an. opening right now. Uh Trump had run as. this, you know, uh uh. working-class champion. The Republican. Party uh ran as these working-class. champions. We just saw the jobs report. today showing a a net loss of 92,000. jobs, which means since April, the US.

has seen jobs lost, hasn't gained a. single job, has only lost jobs. Um. compare that with, you know, the the. millions of jobs that were added during. the Biden administration. I think we had. an average of roughly 400,000 jobs added. per month, meaning in 1 month of the. Biden administration, we saw more jobs. added than the last year in the Trump. administration. And so, what has to be. done from that standpoint, from a from a. focusing on Americans who are. obviously having a difficult time right. now economically speaking, uh what needs.

to be done on that front to rectify this. disaster that Trump has ushered in? Well, um I think it would help if he got. rid of tariffs, if he stopped um using. all of our money on foreign wars. Um I think it would certainly help if uh. he were invested in the middle class and. that he were not just cutting taxes for. billionaires. Um I I think there are any. number of different things that can spur.

the economy, which spurs growth, which. spurs job creation, but he's just not. focused at all on that. And he's trying. to gaslight everybody into thinking that. he, you know, that that prices are down. when they're up. I mean, it's your own. pocketbook. How is he Why does he think. that he can literally convince people. that he knows better than what they are. having to pay? Um and so, there are any number of a. host of things and I think that the.

first thing that we have to do is tackle. wealth inequality, uh which has just. skyrocketed exponentially under Donald. Trump, long before that as well. And. we're in a world right now where the. very select few at the top are getting. super super rich. And everyone else is. struggling. And if you're a wage earner, your wages are relatively going down. compared to inflation. If you're an. asset holder, your assets are going. skyrocketing. So, you know, a a bill.

like my Robin Hood Act, which would make. billionaires pay their fair share. because they Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk. and the top 25 earners in top 25. wealthiest people in America have an. effective tax rate of about 3% because. they have have all these tax avoidance. schemes. Uh we got to tackle that and. that will then allow us to have more. money both I think we need to pay down. the deficit, which is becoming. um a huge albatross, but also we can.

invest in uh things that families need, universal child care, right? So that. parents can stay in their jobs, grow. their careers while their kids are well. taken care of, which is a win for the. parents, a win for the child, and a win. for the economy because uh that we're. growing the economy. So, we have to be. thoughtful about where we are investing. the money from the government so that we. are spurring job growth and creation.

Um and that's just the opposite of what. Donald Trump has been doing. Right. Well, to that end, Congressman, you're. obviously running for for re-election. this term and midterms are fast. approaching. For people who want to help. your campaign, what can they do? Well, they should go to. dangoldmanforny.com. Uh all my social media handles are also. dangoldmanforny. Um we are we're we're moving we're we're. really pushing ahead with a great group, a great campaign, a great platform. Um. would help to be in the majority so I.

can hold this administration accountable. and we can fix our our rigged system. Um so, any support, volunteers, financial otherwise, is always welcome. Great. I'm going to put that link right. here on the screen and also in the post. description of this video. Congressman, as always, thank you for the time. Thanks, Brian. >> [music].
