oh - and look indignant.

She should get an award for really bad acting.

She belongs in a jail cell and she knows it.

She really does. She's so unbelievably partisan - beyond all boundaries. It is inconceivable that she operates on any principle of fairness, integrity, honesty. She was a crook in Florida, corrupt as they come, and she remains so.

Re 3

There has to be a morning after ...

How will she stay out jail after Trumpy's no longer able to protect her with his pardon power (assuming Dems regain power)?

Will Trumpy be forced to issue mass pardons at the end of his reign of revenge and retribution terror campaign?

Will it be enough to stop the investigations that will inevitably follow?

Time will tell.

#5,

In Burdick v. United States, the Supreme Court said that a pardon "carries an imputation of guilt and acceptance of a confession of it."

Not that that matters to anyone in this criminal administration.

Watched for about 10 seconds.

In those 10 seconds, she said that Trump was overwhelmingly elected by the American People and that the two-tiered justice system is over...

Statistically, she must be 1,500% full of s*&^ for me to catch two lies in ten seconds.

"What became of the $50,000 taken by the current head of DHS in an apparent bribery attempt?"

Great question. That Blondi refuses to answer.

Bondi Deflects Questions About Epstein, Homan Bribery Probe, National Guard And More

Oct 07, 2025, 04:29pm EDT

Bondi has faced bipartisan criticism since the Justice Department said in July it would not release details of its probe into Epstein, despite repeated promises from Trump on the campaign trail to do so.

Bondi did not answer directly when asked (by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I.) if the FBI found photographs of Trump "with half-naked young women" that Epstein allegedly showed people, if her agency planned to probe Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick about his recent allegations that Epstein had blackmailed people (by Sen. John Kennedy, R-La.) or when asked (by Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill.) who ordered the DOJ to note anything related to Trump while reviewing the documents related to its Epstein investigation."

She did all she could to deflect and attack, and then went oddly silent on that issue. She didn't dare perjure herself.

A simple denial would have been so easy.

So then the question seems to become, why was she so reluctant to deny the questions?

What does she know that may prevent her from perjuring herself before Congress?

A little bit of joy this morning watching Pam Bondi get ripped to shreds.
