Clarice Feldman: Beware ‘Ragebait Engagement Farming’

[AmericanThinker] Cynical Publius, a poster on X, accurately describes for me the fantastical conspiratorial posts this week about Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Jeffrey Epstein records and death as “ragebait engagement farming.” I hate mobs and mob thinking, and I think Bondi has achieved a remarkable courtroom record against a tsunami of judicial insurrection.

For example, this week the Department of Justice, which she heads, just won its 13th Supreme Court victory in six months. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirms that the President is proud of her and considers the “continued fixation or sowing discord on [his] cabinet is baseless and unfounded in reality. On Saturday, the president reiterated his strong support for Bondi. I will endeavor to explain how absurd this furor is and why this (like the ludicrous Pizzagate-like fantasy before it) has so many dupes believing in unsubstantiated nonsense.

A very detailed portrait of Epstein’s background and operations can be found in a 2003 article in Vanity Fair, which reveals a shrewd operator who cultivated celebrities, business figures, politicians, scientists, and people of note to amass a considerable fortune. He was also a man with a perversion for sexual relations with underage young women.

There has long been a widely held belief that he maintained a list of notable people with details of their crimes. Bondi said she had the Epstein list “on her desk,” and indicated it would be released. This was a mistake, because if the belief was that there was a roster of prominent people engaged in pedophilia, there is no such list. (If there ever had been, he most likely scrubbed it long before any criminal investigation.)

#1 In short, the entire Epstein case is a red rag.

#4 ...I should like to invoke the Great Detective, and the dog that did not bark in the night: had there been a single shred of evidence that could have connected DJT to Epstein, even in the most remotely possible way, it would have been deployed by the Biden Administration without hesitation or second thought. They had no compunction whatsoever about fabricating court cases against him, they disregarded evidence of at least one plot to kill him...for something tying him to Epstein, no matter how tenuously, there would have been literal parties in the White House and it would have been trumpeted across every imaginable media outlet.

If there was a list, it disappeared long ago, most likely at the hands of Epstein himself before he went back to jail for the last time and almost certainly during the YEAR OR SO that Ghislane Maxwell was on the run - she may be a perverted whack job with Everest-scale daddy issues, but she isn't stupid.

Thus endeth today's rant; please return to your regularly scheduled Monday.

#5 To believe that Island and Ranch visitations reside in the realm of the unknown is both ridiculous and insulting.

#6 Ghislane Maxwell doesn't have a memory? Which leads to even more speculation.

#7 You don't have to draw her a picture of what happens to people who divulge Deep State secrets.
