Sen. DURBIN: This is our first meeting since Trump fired Pam Bondi. She did more damage to the Justice Department's reputation than any Attorney General in history. She transformed it into a weaponized political battleground. Courts and grand juries blocked her baseless prosecutions.

... House Democrats are sounding the alarm about the Justice Department's purported plan for Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon to represent former Attorney General Pam Bondi in her "official capacity" during an interview with lawmakers about the agency's handling of the Epstein files.

It would be a striking move by Dhillon, who is considered by some to be a top contender to replace Bondi at the head of the Justice Department. The top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee argued Monday it would likely violate agency policy and ethical standards.

The Oversight Committee's Republican majority last week announced that Bondi, ousted by President Donald Trump in April, would sit for a "transcribed interview" with lawmakers later this month on her compliance with federal law requiring the Justice Department to publish documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. The former attorney general's participation in the congressional Epstein probe has been a contentious topic on Capitol Hill -- Democrats have accused her of dodging an initial deposition date set in a committee subpoena from March. ...

Donald Trump raped children, that's why.

Asst AG Dhillon is probably trying to get into the good graces of Pres Trump with this maneuver.

But the question remains, will this apparent effort outshine Acting AG Blanche telling Pres Trump that he loves Pres Trump?

At this stage in the Trump conspiracy, literally no one can be trusted to protect the people's interests over...Trump's personal needs and wishes. She is free to plead the fifth, they are free to give her a pass on anything she says, she is free to say she would not reveal Trump administration secrets. And there we have the hearings?

If Pammy is not sworn in, her talking points given will be worthless, on top of dizzying and nonsensical. If Ms. Blondi is sworn in, Counsel Dhillon will pay close attention to the testimony given, while having her hands firmly over Blondi's pie hole...

Pamnesia Bondi has been covering up for Jeffery Epstein for decades.

She signed off on the sweetheart deal that allowed him to be released from custody on the weekends to return to his island and continue raping and torturing children with Donny Dementia.

She was put in charge of the DOJ for the sole reason to bury the Trumpstein files as deep as she could to protect the billionaires and the orange chomo.

Make no mistake...these sick child rapists are STILL RAPING CHILDREN today. They don't stop.

Her time is coming.

It is inevitable.

Her efforts to hide and scurry away will fail.

Her testimony could aid her prosecution.

Why is the hardworking American taxpayer funding Pam Bondi's legal counsel?

*** Sinister Trumpf Junta Members Continue Lying and Covering Up About Rampant Pedophilia ***

"House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) told reporters ahead of Commerce Secretary Howard NutLick's testimony before the panel that Nutlick had not been "100% truthful" about whether he had been on late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's island. Nutlick is appearing before the Oversight panel on Wednesday for a closed-door transcribed interview as part of its investigation into Epstein."
