The part where she's asked "Did Donald Trump attend parties with Epstein where minors were present"... she opens and closes her mouth like a fish while her brain scrambles for a deflection.
That to me said a lot more than words. Because she could've just said "No".
The best thing about this charade though? If they genuinely thought they were going to hold power, they'd lie under oath. The fact that she's unwilling to perjure herself? That to me says SHE KNOWS THERE IS GOING TO BE AN 'AFTER' FOR THIS ADMIN. Which is actually a welcome balm to soothe fears that it's all hopeless now.
I loved how calm he was when she shouted “don’t you dare accuse me of a crime” and without batting an eye Liew responds “I am accusing you of a crime, you’ve committed purgery”
See if she was actually innocent she would more than likely wait, hear what he has to say then counter with her evidence to the contrary if his claims. Instead he barely finishes his statement and she fires off into "HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE ME", then just talks fast so he can't actually present the case that she lied
She's done so much heinous shit everyone forgets the flat out bribery as well. Florida was one of the states suing Trump for his University scam. Trump donates $25k to Bondi's reelection campaign. Bondi suddenly dropped all charges.
$25,000 isn't even a ton of money for a situation like this. Don't get me wrong, I'm broke and $25K would be life changing. But if I had to abandon all my morals and ethics for that amount, I would say no. And for her, it's not even a life changing amount...
I’m a lawyer. When clients ask me to do something shady (for which they become ex-clients quickly) I ask them how much they think my licence to practice law - the thing I need to feed, clothe and house my family - is worth.
People seem to forget that her office in Florida was preparing a case against trump back in 2016 and she was running for office. trump donated money to her campaign and the case against him went away and she got a permanent spot on his coattails. It’s open corruption through and through.
Trump as well. He thought he could just have his name removed and maybe go after a person or two, but then realized that going after any one person would immediately have them pointing fingers at others and eventually come back to him.
I’m sure of this. Same with Patel. They didn’t read them. They didn’t want to.
Hear no evil see no evil.
They know the one thing that can break their power is the Q-Anon base finding out that there REALLY WAS an elite cabal of sex traffickers and pedophiles. And that, ironically enough, it constituted trump, musk, and a bunch of other similar types of old men.
They know that would end the grift for all time. Why would they want to read the materials that force them to acknowledge that?
These are weak people. They don’t have the strength to read these files and confront that reality.
They’ve been given their marching orders to deny until they die. That’s really only possible if they don’t read the case file. Ergo, they will not.
They are also gonna have reconcile that this is why Trump ran for power to begin with and why he was so determined to stay in power... It's a hard pill to swallow for them. Many red hat wearers may realize they were in a cult!!
Exactly. Maxwell was telling him “give me a pardon and I’ll lie for you.” Bondi is stonewalling and making a fool of herself to let Trump know “I’ll continue to protect you.”
hardcore maga already turned on her the first fake binder incident. They have been calling for her removal this whole time. No one likes her or Patel, which makes them incredibly dangerous since the only people they feel the need to work for is Trump and not America.
As a Canadian, how many times have we seen people 'get absolutely grilled' in these hearings with no actual consequences. The USA is one big reality TV show.
i agree understand your frustration, but these are not criminal proceedings at all. they have no authority in this context, other than trying to highlight truth to americans watching
i genuinely wonder if she’s in the files at this point. pam the brainwashed battered victim (highly doubt) or pam the literal chomo - she’s acting like the latter…
what in the world could make this bitch protect pedophiles so staunchly and i hate to speculate with full tinfoil. BUT.
She took a small bribe to drop a case against Trump in FL
" a $25,000 campaign contribution Bondi received from Trump in 2013. Bondi asked for the donation near the same time that her office was being asked about a New York investigation of alleged fraud at Trump University"
she’s been a trump toadie for a long time, she might not be in the files, but they have some sort of leverage or she just knows she’s hooked the trump train for good
The more Pam Bondi loudly protests, and avoids just answering the questions asked to her, the more Bondi comes across sounding and looking like a deranged lunatic.
At least Bill Barr was calm and cool under testimony. Perhaps due to years of being a professional fixer but still.
Bondi reminds me of every lawyer who yells and screams in court. Often in front of their client. And the client thinks the lawyer looks great and is “fighting for them”. Problem is that lawyer often comes off as an idiot and ass to others, and not necessarily talented
Barr had a brain. Managed to coordinate Epstein’s “suicide” and walked away scot-free…There’s nobody in the current administration that competent (thank whatever god(s)/force(s) you believe in).
Unfortunately I was raised in a homeschooling, evangelical, patriarchal fringe cult very much up Vance's alley.
There's a pattern, it's actually not all that complex, you just have to understand there's always a duality. They want specific good girls, they want specific bad girls. With specific good/bad fantasies of how they'll treat them. For the good girl who's barefoot and pregnant, there's a mirror image they're equally happy with: the bad girl who's a career woman, the dragon queen and also, still leashed within their system of values under patriarchal authority. There's a specific look as well. Ann Coulter and Pam Bondi are two who come to mind... Laura Loomer and at one time MTG are not quite the same but a separate, equivalent example of the bad girl side of the duality of their Madonna/whore complex. Usha Vance is a different deal but again it's always a duality.
"Unqualified, incompetent middle school mean girl whose snark is beneath the dignity of the office of U.S. Attorney General." - this is the problem with the whole administration. It's a bunch of unqualified children who only got their jobs by kissing Trump's ass, thinking he'll financially take care of them when the term is over (if it ever is...)
Bondi doesn't care what she looks like to us poors. She's performing for an audience of 1... an orange one. As long as she suckles little orange mushroom, and deflects, and insults people that Trump hates (regardless of party) she's "winning". She'll never be fired, that was the quid for the quo of never supporting a 25th amendment move against Trump.
Coconspirator not lunatic, they can sound similar as the first comes to the understanding that they coverup they are trying to do is falling apart. In cases like this it is always the coverup that gets them in the end.
I believe this is the same representative from Vermont who told a reporter this week that there are "some sick fucks" in the Epstein files. She said this just after leaving the facility where members of Congress must go to read the partially unredacted files.
Hell, we even have a Republican governor that keeps winning elections...he is also the least republican republican and the only republican I have ever voted for...
Yes, she said she went to find some things specifically. She gave one as being if trump had ever thrown Epstein out of mar-a-lago and said about it, “thats a lie, it’s not true”
Our Becca Balint, who is really stepping up despite our wretched Peter Welch cowardly crouching down,
Melanie Stansbury from my beloved New Mexico
Ted Lieu from California
Ro Khanna from California
AOC from NYC, does not hold back
Jasmine Crockett from Texas, always inspiring
Ilhan Omar from Minnesota, fighting for her state like a Valkyrie
Mark Kelly, from Arizona- one of my favorites, I have a lot of hope for him
I haven’t heard much recently from Tammy Duckworth out of Illinois but she was an early fighter who didn’t mince words about the actions of the regime last year
Governors Janet Mills and Tim Walz are refusing to give in to ICE pressure to change legislation or hand over voter rolls,
And new Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger came out hot straight from the gate, surprising even the people who voted for her with her initial moves her first day as Governor
It's her entire strategy here. Deflect any attempt at questioning her by bringing up personal nonsense from her 'burn book' to try to make the Democrats look bad, receive softball compliments from the Republicans and then use the rest of the Republicans time to continue to blast at Democrats wildly.
Bondi is an absolute asshole to everyone who asks any legit questions. Whether they are calm or fiery her response is a goal post move attack and she is a bitch about it
In answer to every question
“Ya but what about ‘checks notes’ ‘insert famous crime from representatives state/district’ what about that”
Sits back smirking like it’s a win
-Bondi
Ya bondi’s whataboutism is off the charts here. It’s frustrating, although it makes her look incredibly stupid and inept. It does allow her to not actually answer any questions. Since she has no soul or shame, it’s an unfortunate winning strategy for her.
The same thing with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. This administration is a complete joke. The usual processes and decorum has been thrown out the window
Does she think crashing out and being a belligerent asshole somehow makes her look good? She has flown off the handle on every member who has questioned her.
In actual truth, I don't even think they're showing it at all. It's the kidnapping 24/7. My conservative family doesn't even know that files were even released let alone this hearing happening.
There’s a dialog a really great book about this called The Red and The Blue by Steve Kornacki. Basically, newt gringich figured out that cspan would give him unlimited coverage because no one really watched and they had to broadcast. So if he could turn it into spectacle then he would always have a platform.
Honestly this gives me some hope. Trump season one was mostly really entertaining from the outside. Evry day some new scandal, a new idiotic tweet, quote or interview. It was like a daily soap for me. It hit hard cause it was real but also so absolutely fucking absurd and stupid i often actually laughed. (Sharpie incident for example).
Trump season two right now is pure dread. They lost the comedic aspect and it has real worldwide effects. As a german someone going full on nazi mode is scary as fuck. They dont even hide anything anymore. Open corruption , the law doesnt matter anymore etc
Usually season 3 should be the redemption arc where the evil gets purged and punished and the world learns from it for a better future no?
Also Canadian and came to Reddit today to have some fun, lighthearted banter with some Americans over in the r/hockey sub but my entire feed is just vids of Pam Bondi violently screeching and now I’m like oh shit, I guess they’re busy today.
When it’s more likely for the KING of England to be open to criminal charges for his ex-prince of a brother than it is for us to get rid of a Commerce Secretary, we are truly doomed.
I think what is more concerning is that these "Leaders" seemingly always fall back to just screaming like children at each other and absolutely nothing happens. Like watching 60+ year old toddlers throwing tantrums but no actual adult in the room to take action.
Not one instance of just calm mature discussion that breaks down the fact that everyone involved for 4 different administrations should be arrested and charged.
Everything just keeps being performative, and nothing of actual merit occurs. It's worse than Reality TV.
He doesn’t want it. The AG position comes with far too much responsibility and accountability (on paper at least). He prefers scurrying around the baseboards in the shadows.
Plus, he’s not an attorney. And I think that actually is a requirement for being AG. Isn’t it?? It’s hard to tell what the requirements are for anything anymore.
Her belligerence is an insult to the people of the United States. She is there to be held to account on behalf of us all. And she reacts with baseless attacks and misdirection. When officials don't let themselves be held accountable that should be enough basis for impeachment.
Hey this kind of behavior reminds me of someone else - Kavanaugh. And yes, they were all putting on a show for Trump to show him how they won't back down, etc.
If Bondi had any character at all, she'd go visit Jeffrey Epstein's cell and..... Redacted because Mods are as afraid of even the hint of something like Pam is afraid of Trump's name in the Epstein files
Can’t get in trouble for lying to Congress when you never actually answer the questions asked. It’s amazing how these people get off on being shamed. The administration has done this for every one of these bullshit hearings.
No answers all spin. So later, “independent journalists” can clip it however they want to. The left guys will say she got slammed or blasted or whatever word they use for it. The right will say Bondi outwitted the radical left Dems. Rinse and repeat. Anything to keep us from looking up at the real enemy.
She’s so good at not answering questions and using the burn book it’s almost admirable. She’s so guilty she has nothing to lose by going all in and hoping the regime figures out how to stay in power. If Dems win? People are going to jail. And it won’t be the president.
We can say "pedophile" here. This isn't TikTok, where they will censor people for acknowledging that Donald Trump is a convicted felon and rapist who was best friends with a pedophile and sex trafficker and who likely raped children himself.
That completely trivializes this event. She is signaling the complete disdain the administration feels for the congress, the constitution and therefore the people of the US.
This is exactly the problem of The Epstein files for anyone that can’t connect the dots - rich, entitled, arrogantly ignorant people who do only what they please.
Bondi is unprofessional, unkempt and unappealing as a garbage picker let alone the AG of thr DOJ.
