Pam Bondi is a disgusting embarrassment to our country. She's protecting pedophiles and ignoring Epstein's victims. Bondi, it is clear, does the bidding of Trump, who's named in the Epstein emails/files over a million times. Her loyalty is to a convicted felon and adjudicated sexual assaulter, not to the law and the Constitution or her country. All she has is bluster, bullying, and tantrums.
Bondi's a failure. Her fall from power will be epic.
BREAKING: “You washed-up loser lawyer!” Pam Bondi throws a FURIOUS tantrum after Rep. Jerry Nadler confronts her on letting Epstein’s cronies walk free!
Attorney General Pam Bondi was called before the House Judiciary Committee this morning to face the music for orchestrating a cover-up of the Epstein files and protecting the powerful pedophiles whose identities are hidden within…and when confronted with the facts, she blew her top in a transparently Trumpian projection of guilt.
Nadler got right down to the point, and immediately made it clear that he wasn’t going to put up with her deflection shenanigans.
NADLER: “How many of Epstein's co-conspirators have you indicted? How many perpetrators are you even investigating?”
BONDI: First, you showed it. I find it—
NADLER: How many have you indicted?
BONDI: *angrily* Excuse me! I'm going to answer the question.
NADLER: Answer my question.
BONDI: No, I'm going to answer the question the way *I* want to answer the question.
NADLER: No, you're going to answer the question the way I asked it.
BONDI: Chairman Jordan, I'm not going to get in the gutter with these people, but I'm going to answer the question.
NADLER: How many have you indicted?
BONDI: I think it's very interesting. I think it's very interesting that he talks about they indicted— The president said they indicted him twice —
JAMIE RASKIN, INTERJECTING: Mr. Chairman, please stop the clock and restore his time.
BONDI: Oh, okay. Here we go with these theatrics!
RASKIN: You can let her filibuster all day long, but not on our watch. Not on our time. And I told you about that, Attorney General, before you started.
BONDI: YOU DON’T TELL ME ANYTHING YOU WASHED UP, LOSER — not even a lawyer.
NADLER: All right. My time. The answer to my question, how many of Epstein's co-conspirators has she indicted, is zero.
Bondi and the rest of the Trump team have no explanation and no possible justification for what they’ve done and are continuing to doing on behalf of powerful pedophiles — so bluster, bullying, and tantrums are all they have.
What a disgraceful show by our nation’s most senior law enforcement officer. She must be impeached as soon as possible. and brought to justice — along with every single one of the pedophiles she's protecting.
"These are Epstein's victims who raised their hands when asked by the Congressional Democrats who has NOT been contacted by Pam Bondi's DoJ to give their first-person evidence of who the powerful rich men were who sexually abused them."
WHY HASN'T SHE INTERVIEWED THE VICTIMS SO THEY CAN TELL HER WHO SEXUALLY ABUSED THEM? IS BONDI PROTECTING PEDOPHILES?
Pam Bondi gave a disaster-class in how NOT to testify to Congress — combative, smug in the presence of survivors, & likely perjuring herself in the process — she’ll be resigned to the annals of worst AGs in history
Pam Bondi refused to acknowledge the Epstein victims who stood up behind her calling it "theater."
Nothing more infuriating than watching a woman attempt to demean and degrade other women all to serve the agenda of sexual predators who she allows to control her.
Pam Bondi is the product of a diseased system.
A system that is so corrupt and beholden to the wealthy class, it cannot hold them accountable no matter what they do, even if it’s raping little girls on private islands.
This is why the oligarchs got behind Trump. To reside safely above the law.
BONDI: The stock market is doing great under Trump! We should be talking about that instead of the worst worldwide sex trafficking and rape of children scandal which emails from the Epstein files include Trump's name over a million times!

MEIDAS TOUCH: "Yesterday, Pam Bondi didn’t deliver testimony.
She brought a burn book.
Instead of answering direct questions about her record and her handling of issues surrounding the Epstein child sex trafficking scandal, Bondi repeatedly flipped through what looked like a prepared dossier of attacks and read from it rather than responding to what was actually being asked.
It wasn’t serious. It wasn’t persuasive. It was embarrassing. It was shameful. It was a pathetic attempt at a cover-up for Donald Trump.
Members pressed her on accountability. On past decisions. On whether powerful figures were protected when children were being exploited. On the ongoing cover-up by Trump and his regime. On the attacks by Trump and the regime on survivors.
She didn’t answer.
She attacked.
She yelled.
She played victim.
She hid behind prewritten lines from her burn book.
She refused to even look at survivors.
Even commentators on the right acknowledged how bad it looked.
The performance wasn’t commanding. It wasn’t controlled. It felt defensive and small. She played for an audience of one in Donald Trump while repulsing the country.
And remember what this hearing was tied to: one of the most horrific scandals in modern history — the trafficking and abuse of children by a network of powerful individuals and Trump’s ongoing cover-up.
When the subject matter is that serious, evasiveness isn’t just political theater. It raises real questions about accountability."
... a diseased system..
The system had the makings of the disease from the very beginning. There are those who actually recognized the causes of the disease and have since the very beginning. But... they have never been truly listened to and as a result the disease has only metastasized.
And through conditioned false beliefs, perceptions, feelings, and separation... the result of our dualistic thinking and actions the disease will continue. Bringing still greater and more destruction problems and greater suffering.
The symptoms of our diseased system were graphically exposed by the election of a criminal and narcissist to the presidency. His republican MAGA cult is the juice and force that will bring the nation to its knees. Unless America wakes up fully and reverses the trend to greed and hate that the disease has naturally infected our nation with. Trump and MAGA are merely symptoms of that disease.
Well said, Les! Yesterday's hearing was a total disaster for America. Bondi showed the country that she cares nothing for justice; she cares only for Trump's approval. What a weak, sycophantic lackey she is.
I listened to as much of the testimony as I could stomach. And then I listened to my wise voices because me, myself, and I were totally not a committee. Jury is still out to be honest.
I own my triggers. I know being open here/now will bring out the trolls. I know all these things but how can I hold back when those survivors, live in front of the world, stood up and raised their hand to indicate the DOJ had not at that time contacted them. Their bravery demands the same from me, and really from all of us.
There are memes flying fast and furious all over the net. I won't spoil the fun as you find those which resonate best with you. Well, I'll spoil one. It's a list of all the evidence provided in the files we've seen thus far; call logs, witness statements, DNA tests, photographs, and the list fills up the square only to highlight the statements of nothing to see here from the Trump DOJ.
I want to see if you see what I see. Confirmation bias is a heck of a drug and I've been known to fall for it in the past. That said, prose says it best. If it helps I was thinking in heavy metal rock ballad genre, sung by the sirens of old.
Survivor here, warrior to my core
I see you my friend, we too, alike and more
Our song is strong in love
We can't forget our night
Walking fire to the distant shore
Casting doubt, reborn to light
we are strong
we are here
we have been watching all along
every justice
you denied
will be visited on your hide
we are the furies
I think humans are pissed as evidenced by the memes they choose. This isn't local, it's global. Maybe even universal. never know with chaos and fractal theories.
It is unfortunate that the AG is in charge of protecting the president not advancing justice. Holder protected the swell guy selling weapons to Mexico and managing he IRS targeting conservative groups, garland protected biden from releasing the audio that showed biden was not competent and didn't pursue epstein. Now bondi protects trump from everything.
Will we ever have an AG and SCOTUS who does their job, doubt it.
I know in advance that some will defend saint barry but it is fact that can be supported by several sources.
Comparing Bondi to Merrick Garland doesn't get off the ground, skud.
I knew you wouldn't be able to criticize Trump's AG without trashing two Democrats' AGs, and you proved me correct.
It is curious how quickly you brought up the "Fast & Furious" fiasco, but in all the times you've come here to trash the Obama and the Biden administrations for their blunders, you've never mentioned this:
"The Iran-Contra affair (1985–1987) was a major political scandal in which the Reagan administration secretly sold arms to Iran—an enemy holding American hostages—and illegally diverted the profits to fund right-wing "Contra" guerrillas fighting to overthrow Nicaragua's leftist Sandinista government. Despite Congressional bans on funding the Contras (Boland Amendment), administration officials, including Oliver North, continued the covert operation, damaging Reagan's presidency, though he was never directly proven to have authorized the diversion. "
Besides all this, what the post is about is a worldwide child sex trafficking and raping scandal headed by two of Trump's closest friends, Epstein & Maxwell. And the recent unredacted files that members of Congress were allowed to see also revealed that Trump lied about ending his friendship with Epstein in the early 2000s. Those files indicate that Trump had Epstein as a guest at Mar-a-Largo in December 2016, when he was president-elect Trump.
But do continue to bring up other administrations' faults and FUBARs so that you can ignore Trump's involvement with child sex traffickers and rapists.
Dear Grey One talks sass, I have my own "triggers" that I deal with when reading about the horrific child sex trafficking and raping scandal that is enveloping Trump and his administration.
I was six years old; I believed in the Easter bunny, Santa Claus, and the Tooth Fairy, when an adult male sexually abused me. In those days, there was no warning from parents to their children about reporting any one who touches or exposes himself to children, nor any one who uses children for their sexual stimulation. Today's children, unfortunately, must be instructed and alerted to pedophiles who prey on unsuspecting and innocent children whose childhood would be sullied and destroyed by sick men!
I'm okay, thanks to years of therapy, but still get anger-triggered when I read about the Epstein monsters, and when I see a woman like Bondi refuse to condemn but instead coddle (Maxwell in a privileged facility that allows her massages, special food, internet privileges, and a puppy!) and protect pedophiles.
Americans will not forget her and her complicity in this horrendous scandal.
Bondi projected out insecurity, and fear, weakness in her own understanding of the law, a broken moral compass, and a general distain towards anyone who suffers.
She may think all of these attributes were directed outward at the end of her pointed finger, but alas they are not outside of her, but a reflection of who she is.
When she no longer has a seat of power, I would hate to think how she'll reconcile who she has allowed herself to become.
From HCR's Facebook page:
"Pam Bondi's appearance before Congress was not merely and embarrassing hearing. It marked the continued deterioration of what can only be described as the Trump cartel, a political network held together not by public service or legal norms, but by personal loyalty and contempt for accountability."
In short, it is the wealthy and privileged that hold all the power who hold tightly to the dualism that has lead to this nation's greatest problems. In their efforts to manage and control society to benefit them the majority simply become pawns for then to manipulate to their own selfish advantage.
The only way to reverse and then stop the greed and ignorance is to vote, vote, vote in numbers that defy a challenge. If it is not already too late.
Les, So who would be the party to turn this around. Can't be the republicans because they are evil and it can't be the democrats because they are corrupt and want to turn the country into a broke sanctuary for illegals. Why not run the country like a business and have a CEO reporting to a BOD.
BB, I do agree that their is no comparison between bondi and garland except both believe their job is protect their boss from his incompetence.
For all the chest beating Bondi did yesterday, it really came across as her being afraid. Like a rat backed into a corner...
The reptilian government knows no bounds -
https://apnews.com/article/trump-climate-change-epa-clean-air-act-c149d5ea6ec71c862e6c4b578adf92cd -
The former Environmental Protection Agency is now the Extreme Pollution Agenda. We are a banana republic and I feel DOLEful.....
Bondi is now a criminal. She perjured herself saying, "There is no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime, everyone knows that.”
Wrong. That is a lie.
That’s your biased opinion about Garland. Where is even ONE piece of evidence where AG Garland “protected” former President Biden from his incompetence? How does an attorney general do that? But more specifically how did Attorney General Garland do that for Joe Biden? I know this is just a forum for people’s opinions and ideas, but we try to keep with the facts not just someone’s whimsy.
I read somewhere someone comparing Bondi as Trump’s Ghislaine Maxwell.. Bondi is to Trump what Maxwell was to Epstein. I thought it was apt.
For some reason I keep getting the impression that Skud's brain has been affected like RFK Jr.'s. Functionally they're on the same plane. No longer open to introspection or information and resistant to reason.
At least he can be correct on occasion. Yes Republicans are evil, but they are also way more corrupt than Democrats. This is verifiably true. Too bad he won't examine his beliefs or accept our facts.
BB, No more requirement to have stop/go on auto's which saved 1/2 gal of gas a year. No more requirement for automakers to build battery cars no one wanted. Make farm equipment more affordable by eliminating a lot of needless requirements. Climate change has been debunked and even bill gates has moved on to world health.
Why don't we require India and China to improve their pollution standards since we have strict standards being 116 in the world. By getting Cali to improve the whole country can improve but governor hairstyle would rather bash republicans instead of doing something.
Ms. Shaw, Garland refused to turn over audio of biden's classified document case or his interview about biden's mental health but he did say joey was sharp which is part of the democrat cover up you approve of.
Shaw... many people, even some who post here, choose not to deal with what is in front of our faces, but instead bring up past wrongs, bad though they may be, so avoid accepting any part responsibility for the problem.
You, me, Dave D, Les and others have stated for years we are aware of the foibles of Dems, have stated if they;ve broke the law, they should be in jail, and are far from perfect.
Yet when there is justifiable outrage at ANYONE from the MAGA crowd, all that seems to be forgotten.
It really is a sickness.
Here's another example. Many on the right and within MAGA seem to take any criticism of Trump as proof that the critics hate America. Criticizing a president they say, is un American. A president they say, has a right, by way of his election, to implement his or her agenda. PERIOD.
Yet not a one of them said that during the Obama admin. We might have thought their views were bad for the country, but we gave them the benefit of the doubt as it related to motive, believing that while misguided, they still loved America.
I wonder why it's different now?
Just like I wonder why it is alright for a GOP AG to not answer questions, yet a Dem is not accorded that same priviledge.
We're messed up and I'm not sure we can find and live with a solution.
Bondi isn't even attemtping to maintain the illusion that she serves the American people. Her testimony yesterday demonstrated that her only loyalty is to Donald Trump and her own career. She refused to answer simple questions about Epstein and spent her time shrieking that Congress should be "apologizng to Trump" while quoting from a "burn book" full of attacks against Democrats, this woman is an absolute disgrace and an insult to the very idea of justice.
"Climate change has been debunked..."
Climate change has not been debunked. There is an overwhelming scientific consensus—supported by over 99% of peer-reviewed literature—that Earth is warming at an unprecedented rate and that human activity, primarily burning fossil fuels, is the main cause. Evidence from global scientific bodies confirms this is not natural.
Multiple studies confirm 90–100% of climate scientists agree that humans are responsible for recent climate change.
IPCC Confirmation: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) confirmed that human influence on the warming climate system is an "established fact," rather than just a theory.
Data Evidence: Observations from satellites, ice cores, and tree rings show that global temperatures have risen by roughly by 1.8 degrees F. since 1880.
Debunking Myths: Arguments suggesting climate change is caused by natural cycles or sunspots have been shown to be inaccurate, as there is no upward trend in solar energy hitting Earth.
While misinformation persists, scientific consensus remains firm.
Garland released a written transcript of the Robert Hur interview with former President Biden.
SKUD: "...he did say joey was sharp which is part of the democrat cover up you approve of."
I 've asked you before to please don't put words in my mouth that I've never said. I've NEVER said I approved of ANY cover-up.
Meanwhile, you are silent about the ongoing cover-up by the current AG, Pam Bondi, and that involves the current POTUS and the trafficking of minor children for sex to rich and powerful men.
You continue to bring up what happened in Joe Biden's administration while the biggest and most unimaginably depraved and degenerate sex scandal is putrefying the Oval Office.
skud is still talking about Merrick Garland not turning over the audio of Robert Hur's interview with former President Biden, even though Garland released a complete transcript of it. There's was a reason for being reluctant to turn over the audio to Comer's committee. Can you guesss what that might be? I can. It may be the same reason Comer doesn't want the Clinton's to give a public hearing, but rather keep it private. Things can be manipulated out of the view of the public.
She's Trump's consiglieri, not the US Attorney General. People keep reminding us that Richard Nixon did go to jail for his crimes, but his AG did. Somewhere in the back of her mind, Bondi must know this.
The Epstein Affair has been rumbling around for years, mostly under the surface, as an outlier event. Then it was put on steroids by the Trump campaign and suddenly began to appear on people’s radar screens.
Once that happened, we were forced to deal with the truth. Some really awful things happened, and there needed to be a reckoning. But it was hard, because the story seemed to confirm the fears of many... that we had a lawless group of people in the U.S. skirting accountability and the law.
The larger problem, though, was this: those people were connected to even more powerful people, people who might be toppled and lose their power if their relationships to Maxwell and Epstein became public.
This isn’t, as AG Bondi charged, about Merrick Garland. It’s about the system. And she, as someone not yet tainted by the mess, had a chance to rise above it and lay out a solution the American people could support.
However, she chose not to do so.
Why is anyone’s guess. Why she was unable to simply “do the right thing,” turn around, and acknowledge the abused women behind her at her recent hearing, I don’t know. Why she could not acknowledge a lie from another cabinet leader under oath, I do not know. Why she will not simply release the Epstein files, as required by law, I do not know.
She had a chance to be an American hero. She was politically insulated by the magnitude of this scandal, and if she had pulled the trigger, the public would have admired her for it.
But she did not, instead choosing the path of a coward, unable or unwilling to acknowledge basic facts already in evidence, unwilling to expose the people who made the largest sex scandal in U.S. history possible.
But it's not just her. unable to summon the inner strength to set politics aside, many refuse to see—and to acknowledge—their own parts in this, choosing instead to deflect blame and complain about why others did not act sooner.
Should other AGs have acted? Of course. But their inaction and obsequiousness is no reason for Bondi and her DOJ to eschew responsibility today.
Lady Liberty hangs her head in shame as collectively we yawn at the sickness infecting America.
Yes, our diseased system has always been open to corruption and anti-democratic minority rule, but now the entire Republican Party under the Criminal President has become a terminal cancer devouring democracy and the rule of law as its means of survival.
It must be eradicated, but even after Trump is gone we'll still have a powerful oligarchy assuring constant suffocation of democracy and equality.
As long as the American people continue to tolerate having criminal as their leaders, this will continue.
Dave, Well thought response to an increasingly difficult situation. We all would like our government leaders and political hacks to act in the best interest of the American citizens but then power gets in the way.
Does any president do what is best for everyone or does he do what best works for him. Hopefully in the next presidential election we can refer to the president as madam president because the men have sure screwed everything up and that does include the current seat sitter.
Has any AG done what is right or did they do what is demanded by their boss.
Term limits for all, citizen legislators not career politicians, stop political insider trading would all be a start.
Shaw, when has skud EVER brought the facts? All they have is opinion and bias. Nice slap down by the way. Brought a smile to my face.
skud said "Why not run the country like a business and have a CEO reporting to a BOD."
A businesses first priority is it's own survival; profits first and foremost or a business ends. Governments by their very definition are not created to "make a profit", they are created to ensure the wellbeing of those who are governed. Any extra monies not expended are invested back into the system to ensure a better life for all.
(I'm not answering skud's question because they will learn from my response but because I've encountered this argument before and want to be sure my response is as pithy written down as it is in my head.)
skud's habit of presuming we support stuff they make up is known to all of us. That said, if I were to use their logic I could reasonably say skud approves of how the current admin's DOJ is handling of the Trumpstein files.
It is not lost to me that in their three comments on this post about Bondi's handling of the Trumpstein files, they attacked the Dems (it's what skud does), made a bunch of Look over There! comments which I expect from skud now, but not one word against Bondi.
Not a good look skud. And for the record whatever issues humanity had with Biden's cognitive abilities he finished out his term with honor. Trump is slurring his speeches and falling asleep in meetings as proved by video (so much video evidence!) and you've said NOTHING. He's mentioned in the Trumpstein files a million times and you say nothing.
Using an artists perspective of negative space what you don't say skud is now louder than what you do.
Dave Miller, as I understand it, the Biden DoJ could not do anything about the Epstein scandal while Maxwell was being tried for sex trafficking, after which she was found guilty in 2021. Maxwell then appealed her 2021 conviction for sex trafficking and other charges, but the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear her case in October 2025, last year. I understand the files could not be released while Maxwell's part was still in litigation or pending the SCOTUS's decision.
The Epstein case goes beyond our borders and is a huge international scandal involving thousands of prominent wealthy and famous people.
Yes, Bondi had a chance to be a hero, but she decided to sell her soul to the Devil and protect a man who is known for abandoning those who have been loyal to him.
Trump is America's first crime-boss president. Like crime bosses, he get people who want to work for him dirty -- breaking laws, so then they are dependent on him for pardons. If they want to come clean and leave his tentacles of crime, they will suffer the consequences of breaking the law, while he remains untouchable. What is their choice? Continue to serve him, and he'll continue to expect them to break more laws. He has people like Bondi in a trap. Don Corleone would be proud.
Nothing describes the soul of the Republican Party more than Pam Bondi citing the stock markets as her excuse for not going after pedophile billionaires.
Here's a MAGA's view of the victim's who were at the Bondi hearing:
"And what about EPSTEIN and why it’s suddenly SO important to those young women (who took off to a private island and now plead innocent and ‘were attacked’?) when the last four years they barely discussed it..? My list could be probably a thousand points long…………..sadly, THAT’s what Americans hear."
She's so uninformed and blinded by the FAUX NOOZ she listens to, that she is unaware of the FACT that these victims have been trying to tell their stories for decades and have been silenced! Rich, powerful men in high places have seen to that! Her words show her to be on the side of criminals.
She is beyond redemption. I remember reading her blog when the Epstein scandal was discussed by her male posters. They blamed the victims as well, saying something to the effect that "they knew what they were doing," and "they were grown up women, not children."
The Captain appears to believe that as well.
My question: Can anyone imagine if it were Obama's name in those files and emails over one million times and that we knew Obama had a close friendship with Epstein and Maxwell, child sex-traffickers and rapists, for decades, and that Obama and Michelle had partied with them??
Who would think that these people who claim to be people of faith would be enablers and apologists for pedophiles! It's monstrous!
MAGA aka The Tea Party flipped out because former Pres Obama (gasp) wore a tan suit or ordered fancy mustard. I read blog after blog talking about how "elite" he was. Guess that's the modern version of the word uppity.
Actually MAGA thought us lefties would be backing away from the files once it was known some lefties had been hanging around both the Epstein island and Mar-a-Lago. They didn't understand how deep the well of sorrow or how hot our rage burned as it pertains to the topic of powerful humans snatching the innocence of children as party favors.
I can imagine because for a long time now our MAGA opponents have battled their strawman version of anyone not MAGA, not the reality of those of us who exist outside the cult.
It is not lost to me that the accusations hurled at me and mine in the LGBTQIA+ community were carried out by the accusers. I guess their logic was "they knew what they were doing was horrible, therefore those ghayz over there must be doing worse because they are a person of sincere faith and superior moral code".
When such folk are banned from expressing their sincerely held beliefs in the public square I will breathe a sigh of relief. When it is a person actions that form opinions and not their words, then I will breathe easier. When our actions heal the world... well then, that to me is the ultimate success.
This is me. Not sure why I ended up posting as anon. Oops.
I knew it was you. No worries.
