It's not a fact that her statement was a direct response to a "list" when her own words were "files". She said "files" 3 times...

Wake up people!!! This should be obvious.
We really need an irony button.

It was stated as a "fact" that she lied... Based on her using the word "it".
Based on her claim that [the list] was "on her desk" in an interview and now claiming that there is no "list".
"It" is non-descriptive in nature, therefore it is non clarifying in what it it describes.
It is not "non-descriptive" it is a pronoun and refers to the *last* subject or object noun mentioned.

Q: Where is the stapler?
A: It is in the drawer with the scissors.

The "It" in the reply cleary refers to "the stapler". This is how she refers to the "Epstein list" by using "it" in her reply.
Again she was pivoting the discussion to add new talking points, that were more important to discuss in her opinion, or perhaps she wanted to go in that direction. How can you say that's impossible?
After she answered the question using an "it" to refer to the list. People on the pivot also answer the question and then move on to what they really want to talk about. Pam Bondi is a lawyer and clearly knows how words, including pronouns, work. Lawyers know how to ask and answer questions. It is one of the primary skills.

The Iron button is right here:

...Now if I genuinely thought you were talking about an iron button, instead of an irony button, would I be a "liar" by saying it's right here?

No. I would not be a liar. It would be a mistake, or a miscommunication.

"It" is also a book by Stephen King. She could have been pivoting to that when she said It is on her desk.
Except she admitted the MLK files and the JFK files were on her desk.... in her mind, how do you know she didn't mistakenly think the reporter was asking about Epstein "files"?


Again, cearly she is talking about "files".

So what’s the REAL truth?
It's highly improbable that a conspiracy of any kind has covered up or destroyed names of easily indictable people.

I find it plausible that no one else has been indicted because prosecutors do not have any such list. And they don't have it because there isn't one (at least not in the government's hands).

Its possible. But this is back when "the client list" was assumed to be a thing, and even loads of Trump supporters were very eager for its release. And the question from Fox was crystal clear.

That's all fine, I just disagree with calling her a liar, as a fact, as that's what was being claimed.

... We can't say she lied, as a "fact" and be honest with ourselves, although we can say that we "think" she lied in our "opinion".
I absolutely think we can. She was asked, "Maybe releasing the list of Jeffery Epstein's clients? Will that even happen?"

To which she replied, "It is sitting on my desk right now."

She was speaking of the list.

So there was a list.....then several days back Elon Musk says Trump is on the list.....and now there is no list?

hmmmmm

I don't know how one can watch that video and not realize that the first question was specific to the Epstein client list, she says it is on her desk now, along with the JFK files and MLK fines.
imho it is because of bias.

Are you saying Pam Bondi has just lied to the American people, and that there actually is an Epstein client list?

Or are you suggesting that Ms. Bondi lied before, when she said she had the list on her desk - Why would she do that?

I have zero problem accepting that Bondi would lie to us if there was some advantage to be gained, or disadvantage to avoid. Look who she's serving.

Hard to know exactly which lie is the most likely tho.

She either lied that she had the client list, or is lying now in cover up. She either had it or she didn't.

From what I can remember Bondi never said she had "the list on her desk” or a “client list” on her desk. She only said the files were on her desk, meaning her department hadn’t dug into them yet. Then when they searched through all the files there was no “list”.

The whole thing rest on shaky ground, something called a “client list”. Clients of what? Is there a header printed on top of the list that says, “Pedophilia Clients”? There would have to be something on that list that links each name to under aged kids before they can even consider an investigation. Just having names on a list belonging to a known pedophile doesn’t make the names on that list pedophiles. Seems like a big nothing burger used to divide Trump supporters.

It occurs to me that Trumps promises to release the Epstein client list, the real JFK files, the full MLK dossier and whatever else were all just a ploy for marginal gains of votes. The docs had to neither contain a shred of actual new info nor even exist for this to work.

Lets face it, some people are so burning with curiosity (and suspicion) that the prospect of The Big Reveal is really attractive. It could definitely motivate some people bored with their mundane day to day lives to make the huge effort and mail in their ballot on time.

(I feel like im probably the last person to have this now obvious thought.)
