You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

House Judiciary hearing was largely pointless because Bondi as usual was an obnoxious ass playing to an audience of one, Jordan refused to enforce regular order, and Dems overall didn’t make effective use of the limited opportunities they had.

As the hearing went on Democrats on the committee did a much better job in my opinion after a very slow start as Bondi continued to be an obnoxious ass. There is only one way to handle a witness like this and the latter questioners seemed to understand that.
