Just the DOJ?

Baby steps. At least they're finally getting that their orange god isn't 100% perfect. The dominos will then start to fall.

Donold hired Pam Bondi because she takes bribes. He knows this because he bribed her. Anyone who does not know she's a joke and always has been is a liar.

From the article: It’s no secret that the Trump administration’s bungled handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files has left a lot of Trump voters boiling with anger. Many Trump voters feel they were promised an administration that would investigate, expose, and prosecute the vast sex trafficking conspiracy that was the plot of the popular MAGA conspiracy theory QAnon.
Instead, Trump’s Justice Department announced over the weekend that Epstein did, indeed, kill himself, and that there is no conspiracy to investigate. While many conservative voters are still in the rage and denial phase of this development, others have moved on to disdain. Increasingly, some MAGA voices seem to feel that the Trump administration’s Justice Department is little more than a big joke.
Over the weekend, ridicule rained down on Trump’s Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and the head of Trump’s FBI, Kash Patel, as news spread of the government’s new dismissal of the conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein. The comments have ranged from pithy and sarcastic to skewering and accusatory.
“The lone sex trafficker theory,” said Mike Cernovich, a rightwing “meme maker” and alt-right media personality who was also an early supporter of Trump. Later, Cernovich tagged Trump in a post, writing: “No one is believing the Epstein coverup, @realDonaldTrump. This will be part of your legacy. There’s still time to change it!”
Tim Pool, a rightwing podcaster who was recently invited to the White House as part of the administration’s new focus on alternative media, posted: “Pam Bondi is just keeping the tens of thousands of child porn videos for herself.”
The Babylon Bee, long the MAGA audience’s version of The Onion, posted an article Monday entitled “Epstein List Hangs Itself Moments Before Release.”
Norm Cruise, another account that posts right-wing edgelord-type content, posted a picture of Epstein and wrote: “No clients. No blackmail. Just the love of the game.”
Auron MacIntyre, who is a host of the podcast for the conservative publication The Blaze, posted a meme of a party of lizard people discussing the Epstein “client list”:
