(18,270 posts)Rep. Raskin: "But to promote justice for the people, you've got to listen to the victims like the women seated behind you today. Those are just some of the hundreds of survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's global sex trafficking ring who are demanding that the truth be told and are demanding accountability for the abusers who trafficked and raped them you still haven't met with these survivors."
"Now, you're not showing a lot of interest in the victims, madam attorney general, whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal governmental violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as attorney general, you're siding with the perpetrators and you're ignoring the victims that will be your legacy unless you act quickly to change course."
"You're running a massive Epstein coverup right out of the Department of Justice. You've been ordered by subpoena and by Congress to turn over 6 million documents, photographs and videos in the Epstein files but you've turned over only 3 million."
"Some of the victims had come forward publicly, but many had not. Many had kept their torment private even from family and friends. But you published their names, their identities their images on thousands of pages for the world to see. So you ignored the law. And even with over 100,000 employees at your disposal, you acted with some mixture of staggering incompetence cold indifference, and jaded cruelty towards more than 1,000 victims raped abused and trafficked. This performance screams cover up."
"There's no sign of any movement at the Department of Justice. You even launched a criminal investigation into Renee Good's grieving widow. How sick is that? But it's even worse. You've turned the people's Department of Justice into Trump's instrument of revenge. Trump orders up prosecutions like pizza, and you deliver every time."
"So we ask you politely but firmly, madam attorney general please do not waste one second of our precious time by evading questions, by changing the subject, or engaging in personal attacks against members of Congress. We saw your performance in the Senate, and we're not going to accept that this isn't a game. The Senate you brought something with, you called a burn book, a binder of smears to attack members personally for doing the people's work of oversight please set the burn book aside and answer our questions."

Thank you to all of those people who 'loved Mr. Trump' the candidate, ignored all the history and facts, but voted for these monsters anyway. This is on you.
As much as we can fingerpoint at Pam Bondi, the asshole sitting next to Mr. Raskin is equally to blame for the chaotic climate that has been created!

I lived in FL when she was AG and she was never this bad. Bad, but not like this. This is the trump show and she is starring in it . Can she mention how great he is one more time?

(562 posts)The seeming narcissists and psychopaths Ive been around may have a nice honeymoon with each other after meeting, but generally fall out bigly when their agendas come into conflict. Im guessing everyone in this administration is gaining so much money and power over what they imagined in their lives they havent had time to take each other down? I wonder what will happen when the jockeying for the R2028 ticket starts in a year or so. Im guessing it wont take much more to unsettle the cart, but I also would have thought it what have disintegrated under its own greed, hubris, and malice by now.
CaptainTruth
(8,160 posts)First, they've each been given their own little "kingdom" to rule over so they're not directly competing for the same territory.
Second, they all desperately want the approval of their "Dear Leader" Trump so they don't want to be seen as attacking the "order" that he's established. They desperately want Dear Daddy to see them as good little boys & girls.
I still think a lot of this behavior is rooted in childhood emotional development problems. Especially Trump's.

azureblue
(2,717 posts)All the way back to FL. As FL AG, she buried a case against Epstein that had information that would condemn Trump, too. Donnie protected her then, and promised her the AG spot, so she is confident that nothing will happen to her, because Trump will protect her again.
She's about to get a rude awakening, especially if her shenanigans in FL are brought back to light. She is a pedo protector.. And Trump can't protect her anymore..

(6 posts)The fact alone that she did not redact victims names but redacted the perpetrators is so infuriating for me. Everything they released was probably checked over and over again because they are carefully shielding certain perpetrators. They did not redact the victims names on purpose.

FakeNoose
(41,139 posts)All she did was fling accusations against California (specifically crimes committed in CA) back in his face. Obviously that little speech of Bondi's was pre-planned because she was reading stats off a printed sheet. It was probably in her "burn book."
Also she lied under oath. Jordan jumped in to stop her from doing worse.
hamsterjill
(17,445 posts)But his brilliance is getting her on record. Lieu is an attorney and he can definitely go toe-to-toe with ole Bondi. I feel like a lot of this is going to be valuable information "one day down the line".
The woman cannot and will not answer any question. She was talking about crime statistics in California and not addressing his question about the Epstein files. Any person with any reasonable intelligence can tell that it is SHE who is deflecting (even though she accuses Lieu of that same thing). The crime statistics in California and the Epstein files are two different, separate subjects.
It's like if you were to ask me what I wanted to eat for dinner, and I responded that you hadn't mowed the lawn. Completely different subjects. She's a real "pro" at doing that and the idiots who follow Trump eat it up with a spoon. The rest of us SEE what's going on.

Oh, but what if they all behave like the Rapist in Chief? Loyalty is a one-way street with him, and the other billionaires might just follow his lead! What then, Pammy? You could probably be an ambulance chaser, they make pretty good livings, but not billionaire style. And it's hard work!
Poor Pammy!

Ms Bondi, by not looking at the victims & survivors in the room, isnt that the same as admitting that you believe them?
Ms Bondi, when you dont give straightforward answers to direct questions, isnt that another way to say you are protecting child-f*ckers?
