Since she took the helm in February, the #DOJ has been in almost constant turmoil. #PamBondi & her top lieutenants have fired prosecutors who worked #Jan6 #insurrection cases or investigated #Trump & pushed out senior officials at the #FBI.

The #PublicIntegrity Section, which prosecutes public #corruption, has been almost entirely emptied out, while >70% of the attorneys in the #CivilRights Division have departed as well.

Sen #DickDurbin from #Illinois gave a pointed opening statement prior to #PamBondi’s hearing, calling the #DOJ under her leadership a disgrace.

Bondi just straight up lied in her opening statement saying, “we have never defied a court order.”

Outrageous.

I’m old enough to remember the whistleblower who reported #EmilBove literally telling DOJ attorneys that they would need to tell the #judiciary “fuck you”.

A letter signed by nearly 300 fmr career #DOJ employees & released on the eve of #PamBondi's hearing says the department is failing to uphold the rule of #law, keep the country safe & protect #CivilRights.

#PamBondi straight up refuses to answer Sen #DickDurbin when he asked her if she discussed the Chicago raids with the White House. She then attacks him claiming #Democrats for the #shutdown.

She also totally lies about #Chicago murder rates claiming it is five times that of NY.

Here are the facts:

#PamBondi refused to discuss the #Qatar plane gift & the fact that she was a lobbyist for Qatar prior to her appointment as #Trump’s Attorney General.

Sen #LindseyGraham thinks he’s about to have a mic drop moment when he starts off by asking, “How many illegal immigrants are in #Chicago?”

Unfortunately for him. #PamBondi does not know. After an awkward pause she says, “countless.”

Then Graham accuses #SanctuaryCities of “making it harder” for the rest of the country.

What “it” is, he doesn’t say.

Not sure how much more of this I can watch. It’s kind of pointless.

Bondi, like the #FBI director #KashPatel, is attempting to turn Democrats’ questioning on the committee into high-volume political theater. The attorney general has shouted herself hoarse after only a few minutes of questioning. She has refused to answer any questions about her decision-making on the #Epstein investigation and other matters.

Sen #JoshHawley is going off about “Biden tapping Republicans’ phones”

To be clear,

THIS DID NOT HAPPEN.

IT IS TOTAL BULLSHIT.

The FBI obtained phone data from several Republican senators in 2023, as part of the special counsel's investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The data included CALL LOGS & TIMESTAMPS, NOT the CONTENT of the conversations.

This is the crap the #Republicans are feeding #RightWingMedia who do not bother to #FactCheck or correct them, so this is what consumers of Fox, OANN Newsmax etc are hearing.

Earlier, #PamBondi refused to discuss any legal analysis that the #DOJ may have provided to the White House for a series of #military strikes on #Venezuelan boats that #Trump alleges were carrying drugs.

“I’m not going to discuss any legal advice that my department may or may not have given or issued at the direction of the president,” Bondi said.

Sen #ChrisCoons (D-DE) said he wanted to understand the government take on drug trafficking, & said this use of deadly #military force is alarming.

“#DueProcess is the cornerstone of our #Constitution,” Coons said. “I’m deeply concerned about the authority our president seems to be asserting to summarily kill people suspected of criminal activity outside the #law.”

Under questioning by senator Richard #Blumenthal, AG #PamBondi continued to refuse to discuss or disclose any conversations she had with #Trump in the lead up to the indictment of #JamesComey last month. Blumenthal noted that Bondi attended a dinner with Trump, the night before Comey was charged.

Bondi, rather than answering, chose to mischaracterize Biden’s actions during the investigations of his son. Then she got huffy about her “integrity” & began attacking Blumenthal’s military record.
