Where we are now.

Pam Bondi had a heated and contentious hearing today before the Senate Judiciary Committee where she refused to answer questions, made personal attacks against Democratic senators, and got extremely defensive and angry whenever the subject of Jeffrey Epstein came up.

…

Ranking Member Dick Durbin’s opening remarks to Bondi: “You disbanded the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force and the National cryptocurrency enforcement team, despite the growing threat of foreign election interference and the drastic rise in cryptocurrency crimes. You forced out almost 75% of the Civil Rights Div’s career attorneys while hate crimes are on the rise. You fired more than 100 immigration judges. While the immigration case backlog is more than 3 million. You cut the public integrity section from 30 prosecutors to two, while political corruption skyrocket.”

I didn’t know (or I forgot) that about the Civil Rights Division. Civil rights not a priority eh?

Trump pardoned nearly 1600 J6 insurrectionists, including more than 600 charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement. DOJ is arguing in court that these pardons provide immunity for wholly unrelated crimes in multiple cases.”

… “Jared Weiss was filmed on J6, encouraging his fellow rioters to attack the Metro PD officers, and he said, ‘fuck them, kill him.’ What happened to Weiss? He’s been hired by you as a senior adviser.

Oh that’s nice.

“Although you’ve been a registered foreign agent for Qatar, you didn’t recuse yourself from signing off on Trump’s solicitation of a free jet from the royal family, even though this gift was clearly illegal…

…

Schiff complained repeatedly that Bondi refused to answer any questions from senators: “This is supposed to be an oversight hearing. Dozens of prosecutors have been fired simply because they worked on cases investigating the former president. Bondi: What about the fires in California? What about the riots in LA?”

What about potato chips? What about anything?
