When Balint’s time expired, and the out lawmaker yielded back, Bondi asked for a moment to respond, and used it to go on the offensive: “You didn’t ask Merrick Garland anything about Epstein,” she said. Balint shot back: “Weak sauce.”

Bondi then escalated: “And with this anti-Semitic culture right now, she voted against a resolution …”

Balint cut her off: “Oh really? Do you want to go there, attorney general?” she said. “Talking about antisemitism to a woman who lost her grandfather in the Holocaust?”

The lawmaker then got up and left the room.

    Run the entire Florida Bar and palm beach police department through a search of the Epstein files. I bet the highest ranking members of both are in there more than theh should be.

      Florida Bar, yes. But the funny thing is that the chief of police in Palm Beach, Michael Reiter, was a hero: he kept working on it even after higher ups were doing everything they could to shut him down, even going over his state and county to the feds. Without him and the handful of detectives who kept going regardless of the corruption they were faced with at every level, we would not now be aware of Jeffrey Epstein and the peculiar pastimes of his class.

      The rest of them though? Hell yeah.
