'You're a washed-up loser lawyer': Pam Bondi taunts Democrats over Epstein

The US attorney general Pam Bondi attacked and insulted Democrats during a House judiciary committee hearing on Wednesday as she defended the justice department’s handling of files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Democrats pounded Bondi with questions about the way the department has complied with a law last year mandating the complete release of the files with specific and limited room for redactions. Since releasing the documents after the statutory deadline, the justice department has come under intense scrutiny both for releasing the names of survivors and redacting, without explanation, the names of people who may have committed crimes.

Bondi avoided addressing the questions about the way the department has handled the files. After being pressed by the representative Pramila Jayapal of Washington, Bondi also declined to turn around from her seat at the hearing table and apologize to Epstein victims who were in the hearing room. “I’m not going to get in the gutter with this woman. She’s doing theatrics,” Bondi said.

Bondi also sparred heavily with Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the top Democrat on the committee, as he sought to prevent the attorney general from using long meandering answers to eat up the five minutes members are allotted to ask questions. When Raskin said he had warned Bondi about eating up time at the outset of the hearing, Bondi replied by yelling: “You don’t tell me anything.

The only reason that nasty sack of shit has a job and a law license is because her lips are permanently welded to Donald Trump's shit-caked ass. And, she knows it. Which is why she is acting like a petulant mean girl who pretends to be above it all. Her time in the barrel is coming...

“You’re a washed-up loser lawyer. You’re not even a lawyer,” she said to Raskin.

The day she dies, which I hope is after a long lifetime of misery, the epitaph on her gravestone will read:.

Here Lies a Washed Up Loser Lawyer.

It does not mean what she thinks it means.

That was unhinged, but will of course be praised by Trumpers.

Is look for stuff from the states of those questioning her that have to do with immigrants. Stuff like people killed or attacked by immigrants and blaming the questioner for not caring about that. They are always state crimes that is not in the purview of the Congress person since they are federal. ( although almost always the Congress person has addressed it) every single time she has done that. That's what the shuffling of papers is about, looking for the notes marked either with the Congress person's name or the state.

She can't really offer a credible defense of Trump so she makes poorly scripted personal attacks against Dem. Reps.

Trump is using her as a crash dummy, but she hasn't caught on.
