Senate Judiciary Committee: Pam Bondi VS Dick Durbin & Adam Schiff

"Jesse talks about Pam Bondi’s abysmal day of testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, where she merely repeated the canned lines as responses that were clearly written for her by Stephen Miller or Donald Trump himself."

I don't have much to say in response to what Jesse Dollemore is saying here. At best, you are just getting the MSNBC prime time, partisan analysis, advertised as news, from Dollemore. But you are free to listen to every word that comes out of his mouth... if you have nothing better to do. If that's the case, I feel sorry for you. But I will give you my "just the facts, Jack' routine here and then tell you what I think about that. 

If Attorney General Pam Bondi just in her opening statement said: "I'm not here to answer any serious questions from Democrats", from the beginning, she could've saved taxpayers a lot of time and money and this committee hearing would've been a lot shorter and she would've been back at DOJ, or could've gone home from the Dirksen Senate Office Building, a lot sooner. 

But when you work for Donald John Trump, you are not a "public servant", at least not anymore. There are exceptions, but the Pam Bondi's, the Pete Hegseth's, the Steve Miller's, are the general rule in Donald J. Trump's latest political reality TV show: "Trump Takes Over Washington, America is next". 

When you work for President Trump, you are a performer, a political reality TV performer. If he doesn't think you are 100% loyal to him and he doesn't think you look good and sound good on TV... you could be a 4 star war with more medals, that the New York Yankees trophy case wouldn't be large enough to hold... but you could forget about ever being his Secretary of Defense. If you care more about America, than you care about him. And that's just 1 example. 

I mean we see this everyday with the President's "press secretary". Karoline Leavitt is no more a press secretary, than fish are elephants. She's only there to give MAGA's latest partisan and tell people how great she thinks her boss is. 

So when you see the exchange between the Attorney General and Senator Adam Schiff, yesterday... Senator Schiff already knows that and he wasn't there to let her use his time to talk about much she thinks Democrats hate America, or how much she thinks the the Senator sucks, or "is he even a real lawyer", etc. The Senator used his time to layout the questions that he would liked to be answered, if only there was someone at the witness table there who was even qualified to answer his questions. And I think Senator Schiff did a very effective job at that. 

And while Senator Schiff is dominating his time, the Attorney General is trying to speak over him, while the camera is still on him, not her, talking about everything that has nothing to do with what he wanted to talk about, which was the use and authorization of the National Guard, Tom Homan being caught taking a bribe, the Jim Comey trial, etc. But had the Senator had given her anytime whatsoever, all she would've done was talk about how bad a lawyer she thinks he is, crime in Los Angeles, and California wildfires, etc. 

My colleague Ederik Schneider talked about the Attorney General's appearance at the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday: 

"Anytime anyone is testifying in front of Congress... (House or Senate) especially if they have a legal background, (like being a lawyer, prosecutor, attorney general, etc) they have to know that everything that you say to members of Congress and to their committees, can be used against you. Attorney General Pam Bondi, back in February, said there was an Epstein client list on her desk to review...
