Q: "Do you still have confidence in Pam Bondi as Attorney General?" Rep. Thomas Massie: "I don't think Pam Bondi has confidence in Pam Bondi ... No, I don't have confidence in her. She hasn't gotten any sort of accountability there at DOJ."

Senior Nixon aide when the Watergate conspiracy began unravelling in public: "It's hard to get the toothpaste back into the tube after you squeeze it."

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is the American citizen that requires DUSMs protecting him, not the good-for-nothing OMB Director.

And having bodyguards around in public like Charlie Kirk had is not the same thing as 24/7 protection that includes mail delivery inspection for anthrax or explosives.

Mail to US Congressmen is examined in a Wash DC facility, but I doubt mail sent to 538 private homes are examined nationwide at the local USPOs. Could be, but I'm not sure.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) should become an Independent or join the Democratic Party.

This guy's district is very red. Kentucky is mostly red. Massie is not afraid of the threats of being primaried. The stooge Der Dotard put up is a defective who will get smoked at the polls,and Massie will waltz to reelection ...

The bravest man in America

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) would get a chapter in an updated version of "Profiles in Courage."

... Rep. Thomas Massie: "I don't think Pam Bondi has confidence in Pam Bondi ... ..."

During her Congressional testimony, AG Bondi had one person in her audience.

That person was not the American public, as the Attorney General should serve.

That one person, that she was apparently trying to satisfy during her testimony was, quelle surprise, Pres Trump.

She seemed to have an audience of one during her under oath questioning.

So, what did she do?

Did she answer the questions posed with honesty?

Or did she just deflect and try to be egregiously aggressive, even though such aggression was not warranted?


Asked differently, what was she apparently trying to cover-up?

I'm in Kentucky and have gained much respect for Massie. His political views are a long way from mine, but any member of Congress willing to stand up to the utterly obscene Trump administration deserves some credit. Hope he stays safe.

We need to be clear, what is happening in our America has been happening all over the globe, as great wealth concentrates in a few greedy and grifty hands, they work to corrupt the legal systems and then the political systems of country after country. Some countries lose to fascism, think Russia, but that doesn't mean the heroes who fought valiantly, like Alexei Navalny, were wrong, it just means that hate sometimes wins over democracy.
We may lose our democracy, and damn MAGA for what they are doing.

Like the way Democrats stood up to the Biden Administration, the Obama Administration and the GW Bush administration - and demanded the Epstein files be released?

Notice it wasn't democrats who pushed this envelope.... They only joined to bale political hay....

If the Epstein files had been released, Ghislaine Maxwell and Epstein himself couldn't be properly prosecuted.

This has been explained to you a thousand times.

I love that Trump got MAGA votes on releasing the Epstein files.

Then they were a hoax.
Then they were written by Obama.
Now it's a witch hunt ,and Trump is violating the law every day by only releasing 2% of the files.

MAGA is stupid.

But, the government decided not to prosecute 'who else' while they had those files?

The files weren't sealed from prosecuting other people.

Why wasn't Trump prosecuted along with Epstein and Maxwell?

Why not the royal guy from England?

Why not all the other people in the files?

Stop the -------- about those files couldn't be released. To the public, no. For other prosecutions, yes.

The prior administrations either knew they had nobody to prosecute or knew they shouldn't pursue prosecution.

Epstein was dead when Biden was elected President, and Maxwell was convicted in December 2021.

The 300 lb orange pedo had Epstein killed.

Remember when we learned that our wealthiest and most powerful people were connected to a guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring? And then that guy died mysteriously in a jail? And now we just don't talk about it."

So then, pedophilia is okay?

Is that your point?

You pedophile protectors are weird.

Interesting how Biden, the hair sniffing showerer, hasn't been named in the Epstein files.

If previous administrations had a hand in covering this up, then f*** them all. It's my understanding, however, that they were prohibited by the courts from releasing the documents.
