Republican Rep. Thomas Massie roasted Attorney General Pam Bondi after she showed up on Capitol Hill with prepared insults to lob at critics while refusing to answer questions about Jeffrey Epstein.

For hours while being grilled by lawmakers, Bondi repeatedly flipped through her binder while attacking lawmakers who dared to challenge her over the Justice Department’s botched handling of the documents on the pedophile.

“A funny thing about Bondi’s insults to members of Congress who had serious questions: Staff literally gave her flash cards with individualized insults, but she couldn’t memorize them, so you can see her shuffle through them to find the flash-cards-insult that matches the member,” Massie wrote on X on Wednesday afternoon.

The Kentucky lawmaker and regular Trump critic, who forced the vote to release the Epstein files, was one of the only GOP members to challenge Bondi over the Epstein probe.

    "It is totally inappropriate and against the separations of powers for the DOJ to surveil us as we search the Epstein files,” Jayapal wrote on X. “Bondi showed up today with a burn book that held a printed search history of exactly what emails I searched. That is outrageous and I intend to pursue this and stop this spying on members.”

    What is so wild is that Lindsey got his panties in a total wad over the phone records of key Republicans being pulled for who called who, when, and for how long - not the content of the conversations or the texts - in relation the TERRORISM OF J6. A real crime that threatened our country’s very foundations.

    Meanwhile, this bitch is having people conducting oversight on the crimes that SHE IS COVERING UP being monitored?

    I wonder if Lindsey and the like are going to have their panties bunched up over this?

      Pretty sure that more than anything else at this point, Lindsey is terrified of going to prison. And not just for J6.

      Keep in mind that the files the representatives were allowed to see were still not unredacted, according to Jamie Raskin, who called them “slightly-less-redacted” in his statement about what he was allowed to see and the hoops he had to jump through to do so.

      It’s still entirely possible that the gentleman from South Carolina is well represented in those pages.
