Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who is the ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee, said he will demand that Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino to answer questions about the Jeffrey Epstein case.
The Trump administration face-planted this week when a Department of Justice memo stated that the late child sex trafficker did not possess a long-rumored client list of rich and powerful figures. That finding came after Bondi told Fox News in February that the list was “sitting on my desk.” The DOJ also restated its conclusion that Epstein committed suicide via strangulation in a jail cell in 2019.
Democrats and Republicans alike have expressed puzzlement and confusion, especially Trump supporters who believed the president would reveal the names of rich and powerful people who engaged in sexual acts with minors. Trump himself has dismissed concerns about the case, telling one reporter this week who asked about Epstein, “Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?”
Appearing on Friday’s edition of The Briefing on MSNBC, Raskin was asked by host Jen Psaki why Bondi “is holding back.” “[M]any of these people have gestured at the existence of a client list, so this is a vast public perception now without regard to ideological lines,” Raskin said. “People believe that the client list is out there. And look, this guy was a real child sex offender, and they ran a child sex ring. So, we know that MAGA took that ball and ran all the way down the field with it, and they’re alleging satanic child sex rings and so on. That has done huge damage to America’s political and civic culture.”

As a commentary note - there are subjects that seem to "trigger" the GOP and throw them into a defensive mode, and oddly enough, this is apparently one of them. Literally calling them "racists" is another "triggering" subject (although apparently calling them "Nazis" or "fascists" is NOT as they seem to want to embrace those concepts
).
They exploit liberal/progressive "trigger subjects" almost exclusively as a go-to tactic, so we need to pound on known things that trigger them and find new ones to use... and it appears that Raskin is trolling them with this.

There are too many weasels in Chump's administration and the American journalists keep letting them get away with it.
