When Balint’s time expired, and the out lawmaker yielded back, Bondi asked for a moment to respond, and used it to go on the offensive: “You didn’t ask Merrick Garland anything about Epstein,” she said. Balint shot back: “Weak sauce.”

Bondi then escalated: “And with this anti-Semitic culture right now, she voted against a resolution …”

Balint cut her off: “Oh really? Do you want to go there, attorney general?” she said. “Talking about antisemitism to a woman who lost her grandfather in the Holocaust?”

The lawmaker then got up and left the room.

      You’d want to contact the Florida bar where she’s licensed, not that place. But the Florida bar won’t do jack about complaints against her.

        Yes, exactly. This is her license in Florida, but honestly it’s harder to find a more corrupt bunch of attorneys in the US. They do take legal fuckery to the next level down there (as Epstein’s own multiple sweetheart deals proved).

        You see her behavior here, yet she was AG of the state from 2011 to 2019. Look at her wiki and it’s clear she’s done whatever she wanted for quite some time, however questionable the ethics, and the FL Bar hasn’t disciplined her yet.

        I’m sure there are some honest lawyers doing the best they can for their clients down there and I don’t want to denigrate them, but the higher up you go the more corrupt they are. Don’t hold your breath waiting for the elites of the FL Bar to smack her hand for being exactly like they are.

          Run the entire Florida Bar and palm beach police department through a search of the Epstein files. I bet the highest ranking members of both are in there more than theh should be.

            Florida Bar, yes. But the funny thing is that the chief of police in Palm Beach, Michael Reiter, was a hero: he kept working on it even after higher ups were doing everything they could to shut him down, even going over his state and county to the feds. Without him and the handful of detectives who kept going regardless of the corruption they were faced with at every level, we would not now be aware of Jeffrey Epstein and the peculiar pastimes of his class.

            The rest of them though? Hell yeah.

      The ABA doesn’t oversee an attorney’s license. That is done in the state that the person got their license in (kinda like driving licenses). The ABA is merely an advisory bar that is comprised of a collective of states that serve as an advisory council to the states (think an advisory UN of sorts).

    The bitch Blondi should be in prison. Period.

    Total piece of shit completely uninterested in doing her job, but is all about conducting lawfare on every one of Donvict’s enemies instead. Turns out all their hand-wringing about “lawfare” was projection.

    It’s always projection with these assholes.

      She most likely will face prosecution if the administration collapses, and even if it doesn’t. They’ve taken such a severe beating that even if they secure some measure of power after November and onward, they will need scapegoats and people to point at as they run big media spectacle kangaroo courts.

      I will take anything at this point, but I am particularly smirkful at the idea of Pammy here being railroaded in a mock trial, the justice of her facing her own brand of injustice and lies as her party stabs her in the back would be amazing

        She is just so very smug and arrogant in all of this. Even if she believes in the “cause”, she has to know she is so very full of shit, but she brings her little burn book and tries to distract and delay and scream and snarl and gaslight in these stupid performances.

        If there is a common through-line to so many in this administration, it’s that, but Blondi is quite possibly one of the very nastiest.

        I think most of America would love to watch her in a real trial where she doesn’t get to pull the shit that she does in these hearings.

        What I’d prefer is her just being thrown under the bus in a fair trial. The irony of her facing style of justice will escape her, but the betrayal of her allies in rhe face of real and fair justice would hit her hard

    Her little Mossad blackmail book was pretty telling. That being said I really hate her psychopathic smug face I just hope they don’t put the bag over her head when her sentence for treason gets carried out because I’d like to see that smug look get wiped off her face

        The irony is in you reaching so far. The thing about “antisemitism” is that its used as a BS attack strategy so much that even people with no care in the world for semites whip it out on a attack card as a disposable and pointless slap. You really think Trump and Bondi care about Jewish people?

        Or that “antisemitism” is about anything but zionists shouting down people who despise the crimes of the state of Israel?

        Or that zionists care about lesbians? Homeosexusality and zionism are utterly unrelated concepts, with canyons of base meaning between them, and borrowing them for backing is a level of cynicism that is borderline insulting to whomever its attempted with. One is rooted in universal basic human rights and the other is rooted in a complete disavowal of human rights along with the practice of violent fascist supremacy.
