Oversight hearing: Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions, responding like a back-chatting teenager, - "Are you going to apologise to Donald Trump?" - when asked salient questions about Tom Homan supposedly taking a $50K bribe, Trump sending troops to Chicago and about allegedly Bondi having seen photos of Trump compromised re the Epstein files (which she refused to answer, which speaks a thousand words of itself). We though Barr was corrupt but this looks to be a case of 'You ain't seen nothing yet!'

Like any back-chatting teenager, she needs to be grounded...for the next 4 years.
 
Bondi never should have been appointed to the position. She has as much business serving as US Attorney General as I have playing center field for the New York Yankees. And batting fourth.

Imagine not being able to say, 'No, I have not seen filthy pictures featuring children.'

A louder 'yes' has never been heard.

Wow just utterly childish behaviour. Did she honestly think if she came armed with enough 'dirt' and whataboutisms on the members they would simply move on when she brought it up?

Its equal parts humorous and depressing to see this strategy (if one could call the rantings of an angry preteen that) fail in real time. Every day brings a new low.

Remember, she was Trump's lawyer who got him 34 convictions for corruption in NYC. As a defense lawyer, she makes a great witness for the prosecution.

Donald Trump's attorney in the fraud case was Alina Habba. Pam Bondi was Pres. Trump's attorney in the first impeachment trial and was previously the attorney general of Florida.

Schiff: I think it's valuable that the American people get a sense of what you have refused to answer today. So these are just some of the questions you refuse to answer, but or have answered with personal attacks on members of this committee. You were asked whether you consulted with career ethics lawyers, as you promised you would do during your nomination hearing. When you approved the president receiving a $400 million gift from the qataris, you refused to answer that question. You were asked who or what role you may have played, or who played the role in asking the trump's name be flagged in any of the Epstein documents gathered by the FBI? You refuse to answer that question. You were asked whether Homan kept the $50,000 bribe money. You refuse to answer that question. You were asked whether Homan paid taxes on the $50,000 bribe money. You refused to answer that question. You were asked, did career prosecutors find insufficient evidence to charge James Comey. You refused to answer that question. You were asked, how are military strikes on these boats in the caribbean legal. And you refuse to even answer that question. You are asked, excuse me, excuse me? You are asked, did you discuss indicting James Comey with the president. You refused to answer that question. You were asked, did you approve the firing of antitrust lawyers who disagreed with the Hewlett Packard merger. You refused to answer that question. You were asked whether you support a restoration fund for violent insurrections, insurrections to attack the capitol on January 6th. Refuse to answer that question. You were asked whether you were firing career professionals, career prosecutors just because they worked on January 6th. Question January 6th investigations. You refuse to answer that question. You were asked by my colleague whether you believe government officials, like immigration officials, have to abide by court orders. You wouldn't answer that question

It should be noted that before Stubby McBonespurs became president, he was fighting lawsuits brought up by former students. Florida was investigating multiple complaints against Trump by residents of the state.

Trump later makes a political donation to then Florida AG Pam Bondi (using the Trump foundation, illegal because the foundation was not allowed to engage in politics). Shortly thereafter, Florida decides not to further investigate the complaints against Trump university.

If you are talking about corrupt government officials, Pam Bondi should certainly be at the top of your list.

But the U.S. has had dozens of Attorney generals over the past 2 centuries. Maybe there is a chance that one of them might have been considered more corrupt than Bondi.

In Trump's first term, you had discount Fred Flintstone, who did everything he could to minimize the Mueller report

Also in Trump's first term you had Jeff Sessions, who was known for his racism.

Back in Nixon's time you had Bork, who played a part in the Saturday Night Massacre (part of the watergate coverup.)
 
What's the status of that Senate judiciary committee Bondi treated with such obvious contempt? I mean, is there any potential legal penalty for answering their questions by telling them to go ◊◊◊◊ themselves? She clearly acted as though there is not.
 
"Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take this same approach with antifa." Bondi goes on to say -- you can listen to her saying it in the video linked in message #32 -- that they are going to "destroy Antifa top to bottom."

Is this the other shoe dropping? The Attorney General of the United States announcing they will begin killing American citizens that are deemed to be threats by the trump admin?

I repeat, as an American citizen I have one thing to add:

HELP!!!

With Republicans in control of Congress, there is practically no chance that anything will come from oversight hearings. The rules say Democrats get to ask questions, but none of that colloquy will appear in right-wing media. And if any does, the right does seem to be so very fond of the, "I know you are but what am I?" school of playground politics. They'll just think A.G. Bondi properly owned the libs. Generally a charge of contempt of Congress has to rise to more flagrant levels of defiance. And since the perpetrator is the Attorney General, the President would have to appoint a specula prosecutor to levy those charges. Pam Bondi went into this knowing she would get away with it scot-free.

It's not clear whether she's referring to extrajudicial murders or simply strategic prosecutions.

The danger is clear, however. Drug cartels are at least actual organizations with chains of command and policy. Antifa is simply a political ideology. There is no Antifa leadership or chain of command because it isn't an actual organization. While the President's designation of Antifa as a terrorist organization is legally meaningless, it provides cover for a corrupt Dept. of Justice to go after people who are doing no more than expressing disapproval of Donald Trump's politics. While drug cartels engage in commerce that is plainly unlawful under U.S. law, Antifa is only a political belief that opposes the Trump regime that seems headed toward full-throated fascism. Declaring them to be enemies of the state and therefore susceptible to prosecution is just masks-off authoritarianism.

As to the bolded, it is clear to anyone with a brain in their head that this administration is planning to jail its critics using this designation. To paraphrase Oprah "You're antifa and you're antifa, and you're antifa" . . . and since maga only consumes maga-friendly media, they'll buy into it.

HELP! indeed.

Jail or worse. We've seen how little this administration actually believes in due process of laws. Under statutes such as the USA PATRIOT Act, the executive has emergency power to abate terrorism with military force. The Global War on Terror has no definite end, meaning that worldwide counter-terrorism efforts continue as a military operation with ongoing Congressional approval. While previous administrations tried to show that terrorists could be effectively fought using the judiciary and criminal codes, that really never developed a suitable foothold.

Now consider that the Trump regime is deploying combat troops to cities in the U.S. known to be populated and led by Democrats. And now that practically anyone who opposes the regime's policies can be labeled "Antifa terrorists," you can see where this might be heading. The Trump regime is trying to provoke a violent conflict and thereby justify a more hardline approach to law enforcement. And so far, the Supreme Court is letting him. When they write the book on the death of democracy in the United States, I'm sure they will name Chief Justice John Roberts as its most enthusiastic gravedigger. And Pam Bondi is handing him the shovel.

And now MAGA is consolidating media influence. Larry Ellison now owns TikTok and Paramount Global (including CBS). He is poised to acquire Warner Brothers Discovery, which owns CNN. Elon Musk owns Twitter. Sinclair Media still owns a surprising share of local TV stations and FCC Chair Brendan Carr may allow greater ownership percentages for large media companies.
