Pam Bondi testifies behind closed doors in House committee's Epstein probe

Fifteen months after saying a list of Jeffrey Epstein's clients was "sitting on my desk right now," and four months after overseeing the release of millions of associated documents, former Attorney General Pam Bondi will testify before a House committee on Friday about her handling of the so-called Epstein files.

Bondi's closed-door interview in the ongoing congressional investigation into Epstein is likely to have a different focus than previous high-profile sit-downs in the probe. The House Oversight Committee has questioned the likes of former President Bill Clinton and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick about their relationships with the deceased former sex abuser, but Bondi was not among Epstein's globetrotting network of powerful friends.

Instead, she faced more than a year of withering criticism for her handling of the Department of Justice's Epstein probe, and the rollout of documents after President Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. ... Bondi made no comment to gathered press and others as she arrived for her transcribed interview Friday morning. As she walked in, Epstein survivors yelled, "tell the truth."

The committee will release a transcript of the interview, but not a video recording. GOP Rep. James Comer, the Oversight Committee's chairman, said before entering the interview that Bondi will face questions about "what documents remain, why they haven't been turned over."

1. May she receive everything she deserves.

[llmart]

3. And more.

[johnnyfins]

2. Something tells me she didnt bring her

Burn book this time.

[FakeNoose]

4. As much as I'd love to see and hear it, it's probably better that it's not televised

She did a lot of grandstanding when she knew Chump was watching ... maybe it will be different this time? I hope so. Time to spill the beans on Chump, Miss Blondie.

[The Madcap]

5. Will the transcript be redacted?

Will anything important be visible to the public? Probably not...Comer...enough said.

[thesquanderer]

6. I wonder if it's even under oath? (n/t)

[Spazito]

8. She will not be sworn in, no oath...

Comer's decision.

[Attilatheblond]

11. No oath, no point in having her in

[Spazito]

12. If the Democrats win the House in the mid-terms...

they will be able to call her back to testify under oath and in public.

[Attilatheblond]

13. Gotta figure, by then she will be 'so gravely ill she couldn't possibly testify'

Seriously doubt she will ever testify under oath for a DEM led hearing. She has too much to lose, probably going back to when she was AG in Florida and Epstein was being looked into.

[Spazito]

14. We'll see.

[purr-rat beauty]

7. When she steps out of the room...

Brutally arrest her, like many who have been with ICE

[50 Shades Of Blue]

9. Like she will really say ANYTHING new...

[hamsterjill]

10. Okay, the bitch in me is coming out...

That ridiculous bandage on the throat! Good grief. Just like her boss, why didn't she just go full maxi pad!!!! Bright white so that EVERONE notices.

There are flesh-toned bandages, you know.

You'll have to forgive me. I've posted before that I have a limited amount of compassion, and I use it carefully. I do not use it on someone who wouldn't even turn and face the Epstein victims.
