Pam Bondi, Trump’s Attorney General, testified before the House Judiciary Committee yesterday, and she was rude and insulting when responding to Democrats’ questions. She refused to answer questions, instead praising Trump and citing the booming stock market.
They, in turn, gave her a hard time for destroying the integrity of the Department of Justice and turning it into Trump’s instrument of revenge.
Here are amazing excerpts:
Jimmy Kimmel shows some of Pam Bondi’s fieriest moments.
Watch Bondi’s non-response to Raskin.
Congressman Jamie Raskin lectured Bondi on her dereliction of duty.
Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, realizing that Bondi would not answer any questions, used her time to grill Bondi.

Thanks for this video compilation of Democrats actually showing that some of them know how to fight back. They made Bondi look like the corrupt sycophant that she is. Kudos to Jasmine Crockett who chose to use her time to outline a lot of the GOP corruption rather than giving Bondi another opportunity to flaunt her fake outrage. It will be a shame if Ms. Crockett loses her seat in Texas in the coming election as some polls predict. She knows how to speak truth to power.

I agree. If she loses, she loses her seat in Congress.
I wish Katie Hobbs had stayed in Congress instead of running and losing Gov race in CA

Wow. That hearing was breathtakingly embarrassing & enraging at the same time. She was my Attorney General here in Florida & was bad enough during those years under Ron DeSantis. But this display, with her screaming that Trump is the greatest president ever, etc. was just surreal, knowing that the DOJ is supposed to be & historically has been a separate, arms-length entity from the Executive branch. Sadly, nothing will change in our country until Republicans, who are in the majority in Congress, stand up for the Constitution & put this regime in it’s place & restore Rule-of-Law to our government.

At my coffee group this morning at my senior center, six of the nine seniors with me loved Bondi’s testimony. They laughed about how “she really laid into them” (Democrats). I tried my best to explain to them why Bondi is not merely inept, but outright evil…to no avail. I’m 83, and the group ranged in age from mid-70s to late 80s. They all vote in every election. The six Bondi fans aren’t outright racists, but it’s always been clear that they don’t like to be around nonWhite people (there are zero nonWhites at our senior center, even though our community has a large nonWhite population).
If my little “focus group” has any significance, it’s that we live in The Divided States of America, and the twain is still far from meeting…and, like Kipling said, maybe never the twain shall meet because the “them and us” perspective is hard-wired into the primitive inner sections of the human brain from primordial tribal times and the modern cerebral cortex will never be able to wholly subdue it.
As we prepare to celebrate President Lincoln’s day, it’s clear that the question he asked in his Gettysburg Address about whether or not a nation dedicated to the idea that “all men are created equal” can long endure still hasn’t been answered.
BY THE WAY: HERE’S HOW STATES CAN PROSECUTE ROGUE ICE OFFICERS
In the case of “In Re Neagle” the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that federal agents who use more force than is “necessary and proper” CAN BE PROSECUTED BY STATE GOVERNMENTS.
The first federal officer to be prosecuted under the Court’s “Neagle” ruling was the FBI agent who shot the wife of gun rights activist Randy Weaver at Ruby Ridge, Idaho. Conservatives and gun rights activists cheered that prosecution.
In the case of “Barnes v. Felix” the Court UNANIMOUSLY ruled that in cases such as the ICE shooting of Renee Good and Felix Pretti in Minneapolis the “totality of circumstances” must be taken into account. In the case of Mrs. Good, she had just less than a minute before said to the agent who shot her: “That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad at you”, and then she began to drive away at a perfectly normal speed, not charging at the officer, and in fact turning away from the officer.
In the Supreme Court-required “totality of circumstance” it’s clear that the agent knew Mrs. Good wasn’t a threat to him and yet he used deadly force that was not “necessary and proper”. He could likely be arrested under the “Neagle” ruling and tried under the “Barnes v. Felix” ruling.
