GEOPOLITICAL CONTEXT
Pam Bondi's firing occurs in a context of repeated purges within the Trump administration (Noem at DHS, George at the Pentagon). Replacement by Todd Blanche — Trump's personal lawyer in his criminal cases — erases the distinction between defending the president and serving the state. The Epstein file, which touches networks of international power, is at the heart of presidential frustration. This instability at the DOJ has direct implications for foreign policy files (Iran, China, Russia) and for domestic investigations.
