Donald Trump has been frustrated with Pam Bondi for months because he thinks she isn’t doing enough to go after his political enemies and can’t make the Epstein scandal go away.
His job would be at stake.

Given this backdrop, the ever-growing Epstein files scandal, the fact that ICE continues to attack the American people while the DOJ stands on the sidelines, and the only investigations they seem interested in pursuing involve blaming ICE victims, Bondi apparently felt the need to go over the top to save her job, and boy, has she already overstepped the line.
Bondi attacked Rep. Jamie Raskin, a member of the Judiciary Committee, but he sounded like an angry teenager.
Raskin told President Jim Jordan: “You can let her filibuster all day. But not on our watch. We pretend we’re not in our time. No way.”
Raskin then turned to Bondi: “And I told you about this attorney general before you started.”
Bondi said: “You don’t tell me anything.”
Raskin retorted: “Oh, I told you because we saw what you did in the Senate.”
Bondi then called Raskin a washed-up lawyer, then muttered, “Not even a lawyer.”
Just a reminder that when Democrats take back the House, Raskin will be the chairman of the committee that will directly oversee Bondi and the DOJ.
These hearings should be something.
Bondi kept melting.
