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.

    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
