This montage of face snapshots shows the seething animosity and contempt that Pam Bondi had for those questioning her. Point-blank, she refused to answer any questions truthfully, or in fact address them with relevant content. She'd just hit back with accusations and then attest her fealty to Donald Trump with ridiculous praise having NOTHING to do with the questions.
An adept photographer captured some details of Pam Bondi's notes. She came into the meeting, not with prepared replies for expected questions to give satisfactory answers. NO. She came armed with ATTACK content, fingering out specific Democrats. This is such brazen hostility and a completely contemptuous approach to a Congressional hearing.
Speaker Mike Johnson was asked about it. He said he didn't think it was "appropriate" and that he'd look into it. But he was sure it was "an oversight." Yeah... they forgot NOT to spy on members of Congress as they search through the Epstein files. They were purposefully trying to pull a gotcha, like "you were making specific searches to fulfill your agenda of attacking people!" Utterly pathetic.
REMINDER: Pam Bondi's first move on the Epstein files was to say that there's "no client list" and nothing in the files worth investigating. She and Patel (FBI) were prepared to just close the case... because that's what Trump wanted them to do. And after tremendous backlash, they had to reverse course and start releasing files... but they hemmed, hawed, and delayed. Then screwed up with redactions. Then failed to deliver files on time. This is all because it's a huge scandal and they've been guilty of a cover-up.

She's not hostile. She's just dumb and loves to be dear leader's lapdog. If dear leader says "jump", she jumps. If he says "throw yourself under that bus", she throws herself under that bus, like we've seen in thie hearing.

..... you can't see anything past her teeth just black emptiness. She looks so evil
evilspock
It honestly looks very much like she's complicit - likely criminally so - in a coverup.
You know - Nixon was involved in a criminal coverup as well. He got pardoned, but his AG went to jail.
That's worth pondering.

Not smart and now really ugly. Trumpface.

The face of evil!

The entire administration is hostile, so this is par for the course...

Special place in the netherworld for her

Spying on members of Congress?
angelofsnark
The oversight is that apparently she forgot to redact the House member's name and the entire body of the text.

Stupidity and arrogance makes for some pretty bad decisions.
Bondi could've taken a much more civilized approach. She didn't do any of her homework. The coverup she tried to perpetrate was so hastily formulated... if at all. I think Trump micromanages her and Patel (with Miller as his megaphone). In business, Trump was notorious for micromanaging people. He still is. And if he perceives a screw-up, he lays blame at them, never himself.

We've never had such an unqualified asshole serving as the AG's boss. It goes hand in hand.
cytherians
An unqualified CRIMINAL asshole at that.
He was a convicted felon on 34 counts unanimously decided for FRAUD. That's a bad one. That cuts right at the heart of trustworthiness. But it was so on-brand for Trump, who has over 40k public lies to his name. And that was just the beginning. The attempted election theft. The theft of highly classified documents. All of that criminal shit should've ruined him...
cannibalthemusical
You've really gotta hand it to Trump and the Heritage Foundation. They managed to find, and put in positions of authority, the most absolute; to the point of caricature, evil fucking dipshits in this country.

Refusing or failing to do her job is not nasty - it's grounds for instant dismissal.

Everyone knows. They should just give it up. They could all plea bargain to take down trump. But they're too stupid.

Someone please ask her how old she was when first sexually assaulted.

Right out of Roger Stone's "attack, attack, attack—never defend" and L. Ron Hubbard's Always attack, never defend" playbooks
GerbilHereReportingLiveFromRichardGeresAss
Which is when you just flat out call them pedophiles to their faces, then they go into defensive, because avoiding that question and attacking is very clear admission.
cytherians
Yes. And Roger Stone, that Nixon loving "dirty trickster" met with Epstein. He knew about all of this shit too.
The Democrats need to attack the Republican attack playbook. Come up with clear and hard hit-backs on what they do. Like the whataboutisms and distraction techniques.
tinyfootprints
She is clearly guilty of malfeasance, dereliction of duty, and obstruction of Congress, to say the least. But who is going to press charges against the AG? That's her job.

I know this won’t be popular, but I’m tired of endless posts fixating on Bondi, Trump, Patel. They’re not the root problem. History has always produced corrupt, power-hungry people. The danger is a system that lets them capture all the power. If you want democracy to exist tomorrow, reform and protect the system itself. Trump’s chaos and Bondi’s lies are only surface symptoms. Cure the disease, not just the symptoms.
vonnegutaboutit
She’s not very young and I never see her smile, she never has any fun doing her job.
JustFeedMePieDammit
Ugggh how do people see this and think that it's okay?
CitrusyGarlic
They don't, that's what I've been trying so desperately to inform everyone by constantly linking this - https://the.levernews.com/master-plan/ - There are MILLIONS of Americans who have tuned into Fox News et al in the last few weeks and heard riveting coverage of.....the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping.
And nothing fucking else. Nothing, if you are a conservative news watcher/listener you have no clue about Pam's meltdown right now.
Daliena06
Pure, uncut tribalism mainlined directly into their brainstem. "Duhhh, anything my team do, good. Anything other team do, bad."
CitrusyGarlic
No they just simply won't cover it. If you are a conservative news watcher you have no clue about Pam's meltdown right now.

Compare that to Jack Smith's deposition.

I wish they would fucking charge her for contempt already.

Why is the DOJ tracking the Congressional investigation of the Epstein files? That document shows which documents US Representative jayapal pramila searched.
