LIVE: Senate Judiciary Holds Pam Bondi’s Attorney General Hearing
This is day one.
Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi has her first confirmation hearing with the Senate Judiciary Committee at 9:30 AM ET.
Bondi will probably get through since the Republicans have the majority but no doubt the Democrats will do what they can to get in their talking points.
Bondi: Biden is President
Someone drill this into the Democrats. Pam Bondi says Joe Biden is president.

Bondi Tells off Sen. Hirono
I admit, I have to mute Sen. Hirono. But man, Bondi went off in a respectful way:
Pam Bondi isn't playing with these far-left Senators:
"Senator Hirono… had you met with me we could've discussed many things. You were the only one who refused to meet with me." pic.twitter.com/f0EiDfqwkN

Bondi to Da Nang Dick: “I Don’t Have to Say Anything”
Bondi isn’t playing games. She’s not going to bend the knee just to get confirmed.
Bondi just BODIED Blumenthal:
"I need to clarify something that you said, that I have to sit up here and say these things. No, I don't. I sit up here and speak the truth. I'm not going to sit up here and say anything that I need to say to get confirmed by this body. I don't have… pic.twitter.com/tawnv7Ymrz

Bondi Promises to Stop Weaponizing the DOJ
Good: “Going after parents at a school board meeting has got to stop, for practicing your religion, sending informants in to Catholic churches must stop.”

Sen. Whitehouse is…Himself
I’m shocked he didn’t bring up DARK MONEY.

NEW: Pam Bondi DESTROYS Dem Senator by flipping the script on his weaponization of the justice system question.

Durbin Takes Shots at Trump, Tries to Bait Bondi
So far Bondi has given the best answers I’ve seen at a confirmation hearing in a while. She’s not falling for hypotheticals.
How can Bondi comment on a call she never heard?

Durbin: "He said to the GA Secretary of State, 'find 11,780 votes.'"
Bondi: "Do you have the entire context of that call? I feel like it was much longer than that."
Durbin: "It is. It was an hour long."
Bondi: "Right." pic.twitter.com/Zda2o8aEC9

Bondi’s Opening Remarks
Here are a few excerpts from Bondi’s opening remarks:
If confirmed as United States Attorney General, my overriding objective would be to return the Department of Justice to its core mission of keeping Americans safe and vigorously enforcing the law. That requires getting back to basics—prosecuting violent crime and gang activity, stopping child predators and drug traffickers, protecting our nation from terrorists and other foreign threats, and addressing the overwhelming crisis at the Border. The Department of Justice must also return to defending the foundational rights of all Americans, including free speech, free exercise of religion, and the right to bear arms. That is what the American people expect and deserve from the Department. If confirmed, I will do what it takes to make America safe again.
Making America safe again also requires reducing recidivism. We must fix the Bureau of Prisons and follow through on the promise of the First Step Act by building new halfway houses. The Bureau has suffered from years of mismanagement, lack of funding, and low morale. Federal corrections officers serve in challenging conditions on minimal pay and need more support. Our prison system can and will do better.
President Trump’s leadership on criminal justice reform demonstrates what is possible when a President is unafraid to do things that have been deemed “too difficult” and to reach across the aisle to bring about real solutions. Like the President, I believe we are on the “cusp of a New Golden age” where the Department of Justice can and will do better.
Lastly, and most importantly, if confirmed, I will work to restore confidence and integrity to the Department of Justice – and each of its components. Under my watch, the partisan weaponization of the Department of Justice will end. America must have one tier of justice for all.
In all this work, I would collaborate closely with this Committee and others in Congress, my colleagues throughout the federal government, and our partners in state and local law enforcement and around the world. I look forward to answering your questions today and working together in the years ahead.

Comments
Anyone want to take bets on the level of craziness that will be on display by Democrats? 🤣
Or are all the crazies currently side tracked by Hegsworths hearings?
Will they ask Pam who she slept with, whether she has had any alcohol while working, and remind her that her job is “24/7”, followed by “will you resign if you have a drink while AG?”
Of course not. Senators don’t want their whoring and drinking exposed while working, so it’s best not to accuse the next AG of what Senators do on a daily basis.
Senators of both parties.
Yep. Doesn’t the old saying about incumbents losing go something like ‘not unless they get caught in bed with a live boy or a dead girl’? There’s a reason, lot’s of them in fact, for that old saw. Heck they got a taxpayer slush fund for sexual based settlements which wouldn’t be too upsetting if the payment and allegations weren’t kept from the public.
I concur. That is one reason why I didn’t point at a particular party or senator.
Bondi is quite attractive. It should be fun to watch the leftists while she slaps them upside the head with the law when they expect a blonde airhead – which she’s not.
.
Or, watching the more ugly of the females spring out their claws with nasty remarks posed as questions.
I wonder if Sen. Warren will ask her how many scalps of all the dangerous “White Supremacists” she is planning to take?
Is the 90 year old Republican Senator Grassley in charge of this committee or is the the tendentious Democrat Dick Durbin? Hard to tell.
Durbin would be dumber than Grassley even if Grassley was as braindead as Biden—which he’s not.
It’s hilarious to watch Democrats—some of the most ignorant filth on God’s Earth—trying to match wits with her.
