Rich vocabulary

It’s all so dignified.

• Key hearing: Attorney General Pam Bondi is testifying at a heated House Judiciary Committee amid ongoing controversies related to the Jeffrey Epstein files release, investigation into President Donald Trump’s political foes and the handling of the fatal shootings of two US citizens in Minnesota by immigration enforcement officers.

• Clashes with lawmakers: Bondi called Rep. Jamie Raskin – a former constitutional law professor and the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee – a “washed up loser lawyer,” as the clash between her and committee Democrats escalated over her approach to their questions.

Yep. Peak dignity right there.

    I really don’t understand why they can’t charge her with contempt of congress, because she is just dripping with it. I watched about 15 minutes of it, and after one Democrat was done questioning her, she showed pictures of all the “illegals” who had been convicted of crimes in his district. I don’t know if she did that to each of the Democrats on the oversight committee.

    Donald Trump sure clings to unpleasant people. It must be because they make him feel comfortable.

    Because they don’t have the numbers? That’s my guess.

    While the Epstein files took centre stage during the hearing, Bondi was also pressed by lawmakers on federal immigration agents fatally shooting two people in Minneapolis which sparked nationwide demonstrations.

    Tennessee Democratic Representative Steve Cohen told Bondi the shootings were “executions” that the justice department did not investigate.

    “That was wrong, and you should investigate,” he said.

    Bondi defended the federal government’s actions in Minnesota, saying protesters and federal agents had been fuelled by elected officials who she claimed have obstructed law enforcement and declared themselves “at war” with the federal government.
