Pam Bondi Making Fool of Herself, Administration in Judicial Committee Hearing

•  
• by: Colorado Pols

Attorney General Pam Bondi is testifying on Capitol Hill today in front of the House Judiciary Committee on the Trump administration’s slow-walk on releasing the full Epstein Files. Bondi’s testimony comes in the same week that several Members of Congress — including Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Windsor) — got their first chance to examine the unredacted Epstein Files.

Bondi has been combative and insulting, refusing to apologize to victims of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking crimes and responding to legitimate questions from lawmakers with Trump campaign-style talking points. Via The Associated Press:

Bondi at one point went on a wide-ranging, animated, minutes-long defense of Trump in which she portrayed herself as the president’s chief protector and strayed far beyond her actual job as the nation’s chief law enforcement officer.

“You sit here and you attack the president, and I am not going to have it and I am not going to put up with it,” Bondi shouted during an extended speech that even praised the president for a recently surging Dow Jones Industrial Average.

She painted the president as a victim of baseless impeachments and investigations, incorrectly stating at one point that former special counsel Robert Mueller had not found foreign interference in the 2016 presidential election.

“They are trying to deflect from all the great things Donald Trump has done,” Bondi exclaimed.

 

This has been a theme for Bondi:

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: “The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don’t know why you’re laughing. You’re a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That’s what we should be talking about.”

Defend President Trump at all costs? You betcha!

“He is the most transparent president in the nation’s history!” — Bondi is stammering as she attacks Democrats and tries to downplay Epstein as a distraction from the stock market

Lie under oath to protect the Big Orange Guy? Sign me up!

Lieu plays Bondi the infamous clip of Trump & Epstein partying together & asks her if there were underaged girls at any party the two attended

“This is so ridiculous,” Bondi says. “There’s no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime”

“I believe you just lied under oath,” Lieu replies

Here’s The New York Times:

Bondi has accused the Democrats of “theatrics” in her appearance at a House Judiciary Committee hearing. But the attorney general has been, by far, the loudest voice in the room. She has insulted several Democrats and has been repeatedly, if gently, blocked by Jim Jordan, a Republican and the chairman of the committee, from shouting over her questioners.

Democrats anticipated these antics from Bondi and got ahead of them early. Again, from the Times:

Congressman Raskin warns Bondi not to adopt the tactic she used before the Senate Judiciary Committee in October, when she stonewalled Democrats by launching scripted attacks and answering questions with personal insults and political putdowns. “We saw your performance in the Senate, and we’re not going to accept that. This isn’t a game.”

If there is some way in which Bondi’s testimony today does NOT end up inflicting more damage on the Department of Justice and President Trump in general, we’ll be sure to let you know.
