And I thought, in my opinion, Blake Lively, actress, was the only out of control mean girl in the news right now. Wrong.

In case you don’t know who Pam Bondi is
Let’s do a deep dive from clips from her shouting performance before the House yesterday
I thought Republicans in Congress were upset becasue they thought they were being spied on.
CNN: "Another photograph – these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

BREAKING NEWS: Although you are allowed to view the Epstein files on a DOJ computer at DOJ headquarters, we are going to watch & track every page you look at. We will use this information against you at every opportunity. You have been warned … wait, not really, but double secret, yes you have. 🙄

I can't think of an attorney general ever showing this much open contempt for Congress before. Not only would most of them think this kind of conduct was beneath them, they'd have known that the Judiciary Committee chair, whatever the party, would never stand for clownish antics like this.

Please send this jaw-dropping exchange to every MAGA who still thinks the DOJ isn’t blatantly protecting Trump and his cabal of wealthy pedophiles.

one thing that comes across in these clips is that bondi is totally out of her depth. just an absolute lightweight. barely sentient.

Rep. Becca Balint’s grandfather died in the Nazis’ Mauthausen concentration camp.
Pam Bondi just suggested Balint was antisemitic.
The absolute worst people ever amassed in a single administration.

Bondi thought this was funny watch the end.
BALINT: Was the president aware of Secretary Lutnick's ties to Epstein when he chose him to lead the Department of Commerce? BONDI: Chris Malen was a Border Patrol agent—- BALINT: So I'm going to conclude that he did know! BONDI: Shame on you BALINT: This is pathetic! This is not a game

ROSS: Does a convicted sex offender like Ghislaine Maxwell deserve special privileges in prison? BONDI: No. But she was not transferred to a lower level– ROSS: She needs to be moved back to a maximum security prison

Massie: "The recourse is that the next AG can bring charges against them for breaking the law. I think that's what compelled them to produce 3 million documents, and now they're claiming it's incompetence. They're defense today is incompetence for why they haven't given us all the documents."

Massie: "She didn't answer anything. She came here ready to talk about the Dow Jones and the Nasdaq, which seems kind of crazy to me."

RASKIN: Will you create a joint task force of the DOJ and state officials and district attorneys to investigate the crimes that have taken place against these victims are more than 1,000 like them? BONDI: *arms folded* … … …

This is another very important and revealing exchange. Rep. Scanlon is making a crucial point, one well worth listening to. And she does it calmly. But Trump has created a market for obnoxious, childish defiance of Congress. The Attorney General‘s response is outrageous, even impeachment-worthy.

Massie: "Here is an email that was sent by the victims' lawyers to the DOJ. It was a list of names not to release. What did the DOJ do with this email? They released it! Literally the worst thing you could do the survivors you did."

Bondi lies shamelessly: "When he was elected overwhelmingly by the American people — the majority of the American people wanted Donald Trump." (Trump of course has never gotten a majority of the vote.)

I'm old enough to remember when the DOJ brought evidence to a grand jury and they were able to get indictments based on that evidence. See United States v. Trump (DC and Florida)

LIEU: These two photos staring you in the face are evidence of a crime and more than enough evidence to predicate an investigation into former Prince Andrew. So why did you shut down this investigation? BONDI: I don't believe you asked Merrick Garland these questions LIEU: You are in charge

RASKIN: Do you think it would violate the emoluments clause for the president to work out a deal to get money in one of these lawsuits against the government? BONDI: I'm not going to discuss pending litigation

Kind of a minor point but the Dow is measured in index points because it's an index, it isn't a price in dollars
