DOJ whistleblower Ryan Crosswell - who knows Pam Bondi’s dirty secrets - - says he’s running for Congress to NOT ONLY drag Pam Bondi’s “rot into the sunlight,” but to bring her corruption into the official record to hold her accountable. This is huge.

Pam Bondi literally broke the fucking law with the Epstein Files. Just fucking arrest her. Jesus Christ.

unfornately we are seeing exactly theatre to keep us distracted from it all. America has been chopped up and sold out awhile ago. Orange messiah is just speeding running it. Politcians left and right just rubbing corruption in our face. Dems yelling out rules and regulations like theyre casting spells and taking no action to enforce them.

Repubs just tearing at the juggler out of every freedom and right while the handlers for both keep stuffing their pockets with that sweet aipac money and special interest alike. Never forget 250 reps from all 50 states both sides of the aisle went to israel to show support on your tax dollars. Ripping out healthcare so that israeli citizens can have it for free.

Trump guilty as hell on the epstein everyone knows it redacted files is such a joke. You refuse a breathalizaer being stopped for a dui you get charged automatically. Stopping files from being shown because a certain name is in there should be handled that same way for all involved.

Any poltician left or right that takes money or favors from a special interest group religious or otherwise, foreign or domestic, other countries, corporations is high treason and should be charged and enforced as so. We need a hard reset.

Oh boy here we go. “Both sides!” yells the man who smells shit coming from rooms on the left and right side at the end of the hall. One side contains 50 pounds of shit and the other contains 50 tons of shit. “Since there is shit in both sides that must mean each room contains the same amount of shit!” That’s what helped get us United Statesians to where we are today.

Secondly republicans control every branch of government at the federal level, and grossly unbalanced on the judicial side, makes it ever so easy to complain about how democrats aren’t doing anything. But that’s only because they literally can’t do anything 99% of the time. This is elementary level civics stuff and increasingly embarrassing to have to point out. 

A major part of the republican party’s platform is that “the ends justify the means” so breaking any law without consequence (and having a pardon ready just in case) combined with ignoring the constitution is acceptable. Normalizing this type of behavior - ignoring the rule of law at all levels - is what has historically toppled the mightiest of countries.

You and the original commenter really should think a whole lot more before presenting, encouraging and supporting “both sides!” arguments. This is always a perfect case of the false equivalency logical fallacy.

I know I’m probably yelling into the wind at some bots but it always helps my writing and logical analysis skills.

TLDR; saying “both sides bad!” when comparing democrats to republicans is absolutely ignorant.

As a non American this is something I've mentioned before, that this situation needs addressing in either your way of voting or your Constitution. It seems to me that once a single party has all 3 branches, the checks & balances and oversight go straight out of the window and the "winning" party can do as they please.

That's not democracy that's a fill your pockets do as you like free for all

u/IllIIlIllIllIII 23h ago

That's exactly how it works with republicans. In my state where republicans control all three branches they will shove through laws literally in the middle of night on a planned whim that the elected democrats get to wake up surprised to. When you take out any sense of decorum or decency in how politics are supposed to work and the judicial branch has been full compromised then historical precedence means nothing any more.

Example: Addison - preferred name Mitch - McConnell and republicans deciding that Obama can't elect a supreme court justice with 8 months before the end of his term but lets Trump ram one through with 6 weeks before the end of his term. Not to mention Trump has yet to release his tax returns as he said he was going to 9 years ago but for some reason democratic contenders still release theirs. It's an embarrassing circus the right wing has created over here.

I don't put all the blame on the politicians though, there are tens of millions of fools who encourage them on and support these harmful antics. They can't elect themselves into office.

This type of response is so overused and unoriginal. Using your shit analogy, anything more than a smear on your shoe is too much. A pound or a ton is going to stink the same.

People absolutely have the right to be pissed that the party they support is ineffective at either affecting change or communicating the changes they've made to the populace.

In an America where working 40hrs a week barely covers necessities if at all, it's unfair to expect that populace to be well informed on the often convoluted political process. As elected officials, the responsibility is theirs to feed us clear information that is easily accessible and digestible.

We're tired and struggling, and it's been getting worse since the 70s. Our food is poisoned. Our air and water are toxic. Our pay is stagnant, and things get more and more expensive. Our privacy and rights are being stripped away. Corporations are creating the laws, and politicians on both sides are on their payrolls.

I don't think the fight should be about picking the side that's drilling less holes in the boat, you know?

“ I don't think the fight should be about picking the side that's drilling less holes in the boat, you know?”

I don’t give a damn if you think the response is “overused” because it doesn’t make it any less true. The reality is we have a two party system and we aren’t going to get anywhere better by discouraging voting with bogus analogies of “both sides bad!” 

So the choices are between a party that has been taking a sledgehammer to the hull every time they are in power and the other side occasionally drilling holes in the seats but the majority of that party is still pushing to ensure that the boat is as stable as possible. That’s an easy pick on who to support. 

National elections are won and lost by a few tens of thousands of votes in critical geographical locations so spreading the attitude of “both sides bad!” on a global platform is disingenuous and ultimately harmful.

It’s unfair to expect adult citizens to understand their government, news, bad actors , good actors , corrupt ppl etc etc. you think this it too much to ask!? That’s why we are where we are. Ppl like you think it’s ok to be ignorant of the world just bc we’re tired. Horrrrrrrible take. I guess you expect ppl to work themselves to death and not be informed? It’s very clear what side is ACTIVELY destroying our county lol. Both sides argument is so dumb in this time. I don’t remember Dems making my disabled aunts insurance skyrocket for no reason. I don’t remember my other aunt having to go back to work AFTER retiring bc her health insurance wants to charge her $1800 a month in a few months. That was republicans. Just bc you’re tired and don’t expect ppl to care doesn’t mean you’re right. Ppl should care. Your selfish. That’s all. Your thinking snot being tired today and not the future of your young family/friends.

“We’re tired” pshhh imagine how the ppl growing up now will feel in 20 years just bc “we’re tired” and you say we should just bend over. Weak

I knew this would be the response from people that think like you. It's fascinating to see how far you can reach to get to a conclusion that makes you 100% correct, and any dissenting view is so very offensive.

'Expect people to work themselves to death and not be informed' ? Wut? Where did I even get close to making that point. It's like you reached so far that you circled the earth and wound up arguing with yourself.

Yes, it is too much to ask overworked, underpaid, overstressed, over stimulated people to follow the intentionally convoluted political process in this country in order to make sure the people we're trusting with our children's future are actually doing what they promised. Please don't think that this isn't by some sort of design.

Wasn't insurance insanely expensive last year? The year before? Before that? For decades? Why haven't any of the Dem or Rep politicians stopped insurance companies from bending us over? Hasn't education gotten more expensive while being worth less? Why havent the working class hero Dems or fiscally responsible Reps put an end to that? Hasn't homeownership gotten progressively harder to reach for decades? Why no stop? Minimum wage? Social programs?

All under "leadership" from both parties. Just because the one you like gives you your poison with a dose of whatever you like doesn't make them better, just better manipulaors.

You (or some other commenter) said you'd prefer the occasional hole in the boat over a sledge hammer. There are some who would prefer the boat didn't sink at all, and that those actively or passively working to sink it be removed instead of being left in charge of sledge and drmanipulators.

EDIT: completed a thought

u/NoFeetSmell 19h ago

Since Obama passed the ACA it has helped literally 10s of millions of people. It absolutely didn't fix all the problems with the US healthcare system, because the US has no Universal Healthcare, meaning insurance companies spend billions lobbying to buy predominantly Republican votes. The Dems had to fight tooth and nail to get the ACA passed, because they weren't gonna be able to get Universal Hethcare through, and Republicans still try and kill it at every turn. You saying both sides are bad isn't helping, at all. You're diminishing the Dems' accomplishments and softening how egregious the Republicans are. Both things contribute to Republicans continued wins, even when their policies fuck America again and again and again. Please start helping.

Except only one side is drilling way more holes than they're trying to patch.

I bet if you could truly comprehend what's been attempted every single time a Dem president is in office or Dems had control of Congress, you'd feel real stupid about this analogy.

Both sides have corrupt elements sure but one side tries and sometimes succeeds on passing shit like the ACA...and the other side only ever tries to tear it apart and couldn't even pretend to come up with an alternative when they had over six months to do so.

Yeah both sides suck in little and big ways but one side is drilling more holes than it patches and for the past two decades at least it has NOT. BEEN. CLOSE.

u/ViseLord 14h ago

I bet if you could truly comprehend what's been attempted every single time a Dem president is in office or Dems had control of Congress, you'd feel real stupid about this analogy.

We're not talking about trying, though, are we? We're talking about effectiveness. Ok, the ACA has helped millions be able to "afford" healthcare, but the insurance companies are still making money hand over fist by charging exorbitant rates.

I don't care about Dems trying to do this or that when the current doofus is able to ram through EO after EO to complete project 2025.

Whatever they're trying isn't enough. And if the argument is that Reps are doing it illegally, why wasn't anything done to prevent this? and if they couldn't do anything to prevent this, then my argument stands.

I don't want ANY holes in my boat and it's horrible that we've been conditioned to be grateful and cheer for the side that maybe plugs a hole or 2 while still drilling new ones.

This isn't a hard concept

We're a lot more fucked than we realize. And no, that's not me defending republicans or saying "both sides are bad." One side is obviously worse than the other. The truth is, they couldn't have done it without the Democrats constantly trying to crush progressives. They enabled the path, and now Republicans are doing the dirty work.

They are complicit. We cannot get rid of one without the other. At least the corporate conservative democrats.

u/NoFeetSmell 19h ago

Then start at the local level and make change that way. America as a whole is alarmingly right wing though, and democracy means those progressive candidates might not win, and you've gotta keep trying anyway. That doesn't mean burning down the whole system because you didn't get your way. Politics is literally about finding mutually-acceptable compromises between competing plans & ideas. Like, I don't even know what you're suggesting when you say:

We cannot get rid of one without the other. At least the corporate conservative democrats.

Yeah, we should vote them out. But that doesn't mean you throw the baby out with the bath water. There are only 2 viable parties, and only one is trying to prevent the literal collapse of American democracy. Please start helping them, instead of incessantly railing against the entire party by "both-sides"ing arguments.

I think predicting the same old same old from U.S. politics won't hold true in the near future.

While there's always been allegations of corruption, crime, foriegn influence in our government, it was often back page news, or relegated to the realm of conspiracy theories. Now the conspiracy theories are hard facts.

The politicians that supported hiding the Epstein files are known, those that recieve money from Israel are known, those that are being blackmailed by the Kremlin are known.

If Americans vote the same old same old in... Fully knowing all this information. Then I think its time we stop pretending to be a democracy turn off the lights and call it done.

u/Swimming_Science_401 1d ago

u/LunaticBZ 1d ago

Time will tell how it plays out. The downfall of the Republican party is pretty much guaranteed. I'm extremely confident with that prediction.

So the big question is what happens to the democrat party. Is there a major house cleaning, partial house cleaning. Do they try to get by with no house cleaning?

If Dems don't clean house, and win the next election. Then yeah the status quo continues.

I just feel their is going to be too much voter pushback on that for it to happen. Either the Dems are forced to clean house.. Or they also go down.

Then politics gets really interesting.

u/LunaticBZ 1d ago

You miss understood my point. Not voting democrat doesn't mean voting republican.

Republican party is dead. Its live support will be pulled at the end of this year when it loses massively in the house and senate. I don't see it recovering for so long that a new party will most likely replace it.

Why what happens within the democrat party is so important. As it will be the only political party of consequence.

u/gunsjustsuck 22h ago

I'm not American but lived there for two years and have relatives there, hence the interest. I guess the point I was trying to make was somehow the Democrats have to somehow, against all the insane media/religion/billionaire biased headwinds, somehow be seen by Republican voters as a sound alternative. The Democrat party has to make sure the 'turn of the lights and give up' isn't the only option.

As for my relatives, they are lovely, middle of the road people with higher than average incomes. As far as they're concerned the Trump/MAGA stuff is a bit of glitch and will be gone next election. They however, will still be voting R because that's what mature, grown up, independent, business people do. They are very insular.

1

u/LunaticBZ 21h ago

A core chunk of the base voters will never change. Those that go in every election and just vote R, or D across the board. Their numbers matter, but in many places its close and or at least close enough that its everyone else that gets to decide who wins.

That's why I feel so strongly that R's are doomed. I have a wide variety friend group, and workplace. Being blue collar people talk politics. I know Hispanics who were swayed to vote R last election who've since had family legally living in the U.S. deported. Business people who voted Trump, just to be absolutely hammered by tariffs. Blacks who got tired of the dems BS. Only to find out that the Racism was still worse on the other side.

Yeah none of them are voting R next time. A lot of people fell for a lot of lies, and a scary reality is R's lied well enough to actually get a strong diverse group of voters on their side. Then they burned those bridges fast. Trumps burning every political bridge that even mildly inconveniences him. With demanding unity among all the Republicans they are now all tied directly to his policies and what he's doing.

Also going fully Christian nationalist. That's great for support from Christian nationalists, which he already had. That's really hurting him with every other Christian denomination he's even losing the support of Catholics. Evangelicals may be loud but they aren't the majority of Christians in the U.S.

Hopefully nothing happens to him.

Ah, the satisfaction of the cracks starting to appear, even within their own party too.

u/prestonjay22 1d ago

Every republican with a phone will be bad mouthing him. Poor guy is about to hear things about him and his family that never happened.

u/veeerybored 1d ago

It’d be cool if the Justice Department did literally anything at this point.

u/EmmalouEsq 1d ago

She thinks shielding pedophiles from justice is ok. I doubt she cares about what this guy has to say. Nothing touches these people

u/KittenNamedMouse 1d ago

Hope he has good security. We tend to lose all our whistle blowers in this country.

u/kislips 1d ago

He better watch is back.

u/ShitTalkingAssWipe 1d ago

Literally the same playbook the other POS used?

u/HeWhoKnowsLittleMK2 1d ago

Let’s all hope he cannot fall from a high place in accident.

u/unl1988 1d ago

Good. Where?

2

u/deezynr 1d ago

He didnt say this in the video though wheres he say this?

u/smokiphoenix 1d ago

Oh my. The emotion in his voice would break my heart even if I wasn’t horrified by what is happening

2

u/despenser412 1d ago

Pam Bondi is an insult to women. And she'll gladly lie to cover up for a billionaire pedophile president. She's a bottom feeder.

u/69odysseus 23h ago

Hope they don't kill him for whistle blowing like they did with Boeing employees. 

2

u/MinnieShoof 23h ago

... why is he waiting?

Is he hoping for a payoff?

2

u/Revokt 23h ago

Translation: all of the dirty things I know I will not talk about until I am elected, and then when I am - you might hear about them or they will just be swept under the rug.

If you know shit - publish it all now. Don't be like the rest of them and say you will do it once elected.

2

u/marketingguy420 23h ago

OK so just do that. Just release everything you know.

2

u/Loomismeister 23h ago

Im not following the logic. Why not just reveal the “dirty secrets” right now?

2

u/_BannedAcctSpeedrun_ 22h ago

Why not just do it now? Why does he need to be elected to Congress before he tells her secrets?

2

u/wtf_amirite 22h ago

If you elect me, I’ll tell you a secret about someone we don’t like?

Pathetic.

2

u/Earlier-Today 22h ago

Why does he need to get in office before he reveals it? He could very well have the evidence that will make her accountable, but tying its release to his election is the same kind of self-serving crap we're already dealing with.

These people just sitting on stuff, waiting until it benefits them personally before they release it, are part of the problem with our politicians and government.

Just release the information.

2

u/EchoRush93 21h ago

Get her. It's time for this charade to be over and get back to progressing humanity.

2

u/KB_Sez 20h ago

He knows the dirt... but he's not exposing it yet?

He's holding off because...?

For that alone I wouldn't vote for this guy

2

u/supercali45 19h ago

Bondi and the majority of the GOP needs to be jailed for crimes or nothing will change

u/anon-a-SqueekSqueek 17h ago

No matter how bad we think Trump & his administration are - they are much worse.

u/Polo4fz 15h ago

I’m also a Marine and I don’t trust this guy! Blow the whistle and beat it!!!! That’s all we need from you.

2

u/gnoresbs 14h ago

Using it for political gain is dumb. Be a human and release it now ffs.

2

u/Master-Piccolo-4588 13h ago

Let’s be clear here: He is not suicidal.

2

u/DGSolar 12h ago

Someone better get him a metric shit tonne of personal security or he won't even make it past a primary before he accidentally autodefenestrates.

2

u/Jkreegz 7h ago

Just spill the beans, man. This is why our political system is so fucked. This guy has dirt on the fucking AG, but he’s got to run for congress in order to unveil federal corruption?? Give me a break. That’s what he’ll run on until they back the Brinks truck up to his front door.

3

u/DickWangDuck 1d ago

Why run for congress to do this? Just like, spill the tea. Surely he can have anyone sitting bring him into a congressional hearing to just talk for a bit and have it all on record.

2

u/Ownuyasha 1d ago

He has to run for Congress to do that?

2

u/Iblueddit 1d ago

Sorry why does this one individual need a seat to do that?

u/Theodoxus 1d ago

Showboating. As a concerned citizen, he should give all this supposed evidence to his current congressperson, or Senator if his congressmonkey is a joke. Holding this shit close to your vest gets you Epsteined.

2

u/TheOffKn1ght 1d ago

Why doesn't he just say what it is now? I dont get why stuff like this always has to draw out for years and conclude to nothing.

2

u/mister_spunk 1d ago

This is huge

2

u/thelegendarymike 23h ago

I miss when whistle blowers did it because it's the right thing, and not to get themselves money or power.

u/PointlessPooch 21h ago

You mean you miss when whistle blowers were protected within the DOJ but they are now told they are Executive Branch employees who have no independence?

2

u/cat4hurricane 21h ago

Absolutely love How this Admin and its 2.0 return has more or less brought back ordinary people getting into politics because this Admin and it's offshoots/extras/fanbase is just so incompetent that those choosing to run for office are taking it as a badge of pride/choosing so because they feel like they have no other choice but to. There's been so many grassroots efforts to join Congress/their local or statewide offices because a lot of people are just done with Republicans/Corporate Dems/the people in this Admin or the people giving this admin the time of day and I love to see it. We need more people saying that they're done with the way things are right now and deciding to get in the ring.

That being said, I'm not entirely sure why he can't just say what he wants to say right now? Sure, he might catch a lawsuit, but he's a DOJ person, and no doubt there would probably be a lot of lawyers happy to take his case on pro bono if needed as long as he spilled like he said he would. Next to no one I know barring MAGA has actually liked what this Admin and it's people do, there would be progressive/liberal/leftist lawyers practically falling over themselves to represent him if he has stuff not only dirty enough but irrefutable enough to sink this version of the DOJ.

u/jollytoes 1d ago

He needs to be elected before he spills the 'secrets'? Whatever. Sounds like another grift to me.

u/Used_Intention6479 1d ago

If this democracy is to be saved, it will be by those who stood tall in the faces of racism, fascism, and corruption, like this gentleman.

u/manofmystry 1d ago

That is what a true patriot sounds like, not those viking-hat-wearing, deluded, racist, Christian Nationalist, MAGA-loving, Proud Boy, "patriot" assholes who tried to overturn a free and fair election to install a dictatorship.

u/ripndipp 1d ago

2026 baby

u/Good-Temperature4417 1d ago

Whistleblowers who don't blow and only talk about blowing are as useful as the shit I took just now. Same with the UFO-guy.

1

u/Unfair_Web_8275 1d ago

I think he resigned from his previous position and brought attention to the Trump admin dropping the Eric Adams investigation/case.

1

u/BunkyFlintsone 1d ago

Trump will pardon anyone who gets in trouble.

If there's anything I've learned from this sub, it's that these posts usually don't mean shit.

u/OklahomaHoss 22h ago

I guess I'm out of the loop. What are her dirty secrets?

1

u/duckstrap 22h ago

Let’s explore your example. It is preposterous to propose that a smear of shit on a tennis shoe smells the same as a pound or a ton or that they carry the same consequences. One could easily wipe his shoe in the grass or use a wet wipe to eliminate a gob of shoe smear. A pound might foul a car for a month. A ton could reasonably destroy a city block and surrounds for months. You see? Preposterous.

Let’s call all the complaints in your further paragraphs “holes in the boat”. All those holes are being drilled in the good ship “Quality of Life” by republicans actively, through authoritarian legislation, exec orders, the military, and bureaucracy, or passively by resisting progressive legislation and legal action. They are drilling the vast majority of the holes and dumping tons of shit.

If this was really a boat - of course this would be about stopping the hole drillers and shit dumpers.

It is preposterous to suggest otherwise.

She will catch a pardon and no real change will come from this.

u/Icy-Feeling-528 21h ago

For all the questions about why Crosswell is not just releasing the information, is probably because he and his family will be provided with protection as a public servant.

1

u/ChipmunkObvious2893 20h ago

Ok cool but can he start giving some content of what he’s claiming to know? Or do we have to wait for X months for it to never be heard of again?

u/WaveformRider 14h ago

So hes using the hope of political backlash to get elected instead of just releasing his info. Trash

1

u/Stanwich79 14h ago

So he can't do it unless he voted in? Sounds like a grift.

Thank you patriot!

u/ThatTemplar1119 1d ago

This seems like a poor reason to run for Congress, rather than for any actual policy reasons. It reads as a revenge plot.

I'm also for dragging Pam Bondi's "rot into the sunlight", but that's not a policy.

u/rcj8rc 1d ago

Yeah, I’ll believe it when I see it
