Justice for Sale? Pam Bondi's DØJ Protects Elites While Deleting Epstein Files

Imagine a hardworking prosecutor spending months building an airtight case against a politician stealing COVID relief funds. The emails, bank records, and sworn statements are all there. Then the U.S. Attorney's Office suddenly files a motion to dismiss everything — no trial, no plea deal, just gone. The lawyer who appears right before the charges vanish happens to be the brother of Attorney General Pam Bondi herself.
This scenario isn't fiction from a Netflix thriller. It describes multiple real cases involving Brad Bondi, Pam Bondi's younger brother, whose high-profile clients at Paul Hastings LLP keep receiving extraordinary breaks from her Depår†men† of Ju$†içe. Now Bondi's DØJ stands accused of deleting Jeffrey Epstein file indexes containing ƒBI interviews with an underage †®ump accuser, while Rep. Ro Khanna names six powerful men the department redacted.[PBS.org, 2026]
The pattern couldn't be clearer. Bondi's brother wins fraud dismissals for elites. Her DØJ scrubs survivor statements and deletes †®ump-related indexes. Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s coconspirator, holds unreleased blackmail files. This represents justice for sale: a two-tier system protecting the connected while ordinary Americans face full prosecution.
Meet the Bondi's
Pam Bondi served as Florida's Attorney General during Donold †®ump's first term. She emerged as a fierce †®ump loyalist, speaking at the 2016 and 2020 Republican conventions. †®ump appointed her U.S. Attorney General in his second term, placing her in charge of the entire Depå†men† of Ju$†içe with 115,000 employees and a $37 billion budget.
Her brother Bradley "Brad" Bondi practices as a partner at Paul Hastings LLP, one of Washington's largest white-collar defense firms. He co-chairs their investigations and criminal defense practice, representing corporate executives, real estate developers, and †®ump-world insiders accused of multimillion-dollar frauds.[Paul Hastings LLP bio from conversation] Brad Bondi's professional playground consists entirely of the federal justice system. Pam Bondi holds all the keys to that playground.
Case Study 1: Carolina Amesty's COVID Fraud Vanishes
Federal prosecutors charged former Florida State Representative Carolina Amesty in 2023 with wire fraud and false statements. She allegedly pocketed over $122,000 in PPP loans and COVID relief funds through sham businesses. Career DØJ lawyers described it as a "brazen scheme." The case appeared as a clear conviction.
Amesty hired Brad Bondi in early 2025, just as Pam Bondi ascended to Attorney General. By August 2025, the DØJ dropped all charges with only vague mention of "restitution." ABC News reported it as "another client of ÅG Pam Bondi's brother" receiving a break.
Case Study 2: Missouri Developers' Wire Fraud Disappears
Sid Chakraverty and partners faced indictment on 11 counts of wire fraud and conspiracy in Missouri. Prosecutors alleged they posed as women- and minority-owned businesses to fraudulently obtain millions in tax credits meant for underserved communities. Evidence included fake certifications and forged documents.
Brad Bondi joined the defense team. Weeks, not months, later, the U.S. Attorney's Office moved to dismiss the entire indictment. This marked the second time in under a month that DØJ dismissed major fraud charges against one of Brad Bondi's clients. Bloomberg Law documented the pattern: "DØJ Drops Another Fraud Case For a Client of Bondi's Brother."
Case Study 3: †®ump Donor Trevor Milton's Pardon
Brad Bondi represented Trevor Milton, Nikola Corporation founder whose electric truck company reached a $30 billion valuation before collapsing in securities fraud. Prosecutors convicted Milton after extensive investigation. †®ump granted a full pardon, erasing the verdict and years of DØJ work.
Bondi's involvement extended across multiple †®ump-adjacent clemency cases. While Bondi's brother gets $122K COVID fraud dropped, single mom in Texas serves 2 years for same amount in food stamps fraud. Black activist in Atlanta faces 20 years for $500 protest damage. Ordinary defendants convicted of minor drug offenses receive no such relief.
The Min Letter
Representative Dave Min (D-CA) and bipartisan House members sent a formal letter to Pam Bondi and her deputy in December 2025. They documented the timeline: Pam Bondi confirmed as ÅG, Brad Bondi's clients suddenly receive DØJ reversals, no recusals announced, no firewalls detailed.
The letter stated: "We are deeply troubled by the pattern of DØJ interventions that benefit clients of Attorney General Bondi's brother." Lawmakers demanded answers about case routing, recusals, and decision-makers. DØJ responded with boilerplate claims of "proper channels" and "no involvement."
Bondi's DØJ Deletes Epstein †®ump Accuser Files
While Brad Bondi wins elite cases, Pam Bondi's DØJ deleted a public database index listing four ƒBI interviews with an Epstein victim accusing Donold †®*mp of sexual assault as a minor. Roger Sollenberger broke that the ƒBI conducted these interviews in 2019, before Ghislaine Maxwell entered Epstein's orbit.
Maxwell's lawyers received all four FD-302s during 2021 discovery. The public Epstein files contain only one interview. February 16: Sollenberger exposes 4 FBI interviews. February 17: DOJ database index vanishes. February 18: Aaron Parnas screenshots the deletion live. February 19: Index reappears after exposure. Aaron Parnas caught the deletion live. Maxwell now offers to "clear †®*mp's name" for clemency—holding three unreleased interviews exclusively.

Epstein Class Protection Pattern
Bondi's DØJ deleted Epstein indexes protecting †®*mp and Maxwell. Her brother Brad Bondi dismissed Amesty's COVID fraud and Chakraverty's wire fraud. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick lied about post-conviction Epstein island visits but remains in office. Maxwell dangles clemency leverage holding secret †®*mp files.
February 2026 timeline confirms obstruction:
Feb 16: Sollenberger exposes four ƒBI interviews
Feb 17: Bondi’s DØJ deletes index
Feb 18: Parnas catches deletion live
Feb 19: Index restored after exposure
Feb 20: Khanna names six redacted men [PBS.org, 2026]
Khanna's Global Accountability Standard
The United Kingdom arrested Prince Andrew with potential throne removal. Norway jeopardizes a princess's crown. The United States promotes Lutnick despite documented Epstein ties. Khanna demands island visitors testify under oath: "What did you see? Did you rape underage girls?"[PBS.org, 2026]
Two-Tier Justice System
Bondi's DØJ brags about cracking down on "woke" prosecutors while dismissing her brother's multimillion fraud cases. Single mothers face jail for minor drug possession. Black activists endure fabricated protest charges. No Paul Hastings lawyer or AG sibling protects them.
What You Can Do
1️⃣ Demand Mandatory Recusals Congress must amend 28 U.S.C. § 528 requiring AG/Deputy/U.S. Attorneys to automatically recuse from cases involving immediate family as counsel. File public recusals within 48 hours at justice.gov/recusals. GAO audits every recusal with annual March 1 reports.
2️⃣ Empower Watchdogs Legislate 7-year terms for DØJ ØIG/ØPR directors (removable only "for cause"). Grant subpoena power over all DØJ components. Require mandatory public hearings on elite dismissal patterns.
3️⃣ Dismissal Transparency Require public reports within 30 days for any indicted case over $1 million dismissed: evidence summary, rationale, approval chain at justice.gov/opr.
4️⃣ Democracy Reform Connection Bondi's elite protection blocks For the People Act ethics reforms. Demand both simultaneously.

Justice Isn't a Family Business
Pam Bondi swore an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies. Her brother's clients receive dismissals from fraud indictments. Her DØJ deletes Epstein indexes protecting †®*mp and Maxwell. Rep. Khanna courageously named redacted elites on the House floor. Now amplify his voice until sunlight hits every protected name and every dismissed case.
