Three Cheers for Attorney General Pam Bondi

 The American Spectator | USA News and Politics  

"The hard fact is that Democrats hate Trump, and because Bondi is not only a Trump appointee but a rising GOP star, she is therefore a target for all manner of slurs."

"She hit it out of the park.

"This week, Attorney General Pam Bondi went toe-to-toe with House Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee. The subject was yet another round in the endless tale of the late pedophile/financier Jeffrey Epstein, with a zillion files now having been released.

"It was crystal clear from the get-go that Democrats were out to get Bondi. And at bottom, there was no question why: Bondi is not just any attorney general. She is President Donald Trump’s attorney general. And for a Committee stacked with Democrats infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome, this hearing was already set to have its explosive moments.

"It did not disappoint.

"Bondi, the decidedly experienced former attorney general of Florida, was ready for her antagonists. And on a personal note, I should say that in the way-back, at a dinner with several others, I had the opportunity to be at the table with her. Safe to say, she is a seriously talented and capable public servant who is more than capable of holding her own.

"The Democrats, led by retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-MD), wasted no time in not only going after the attorney general but attacking Trump as well. And safe to say Bondi wasted no time in dishing right back to her opponents, giving as good as she got if not better.

"Falling back on the old line about their time being taken up as they hurled verbal assaults at her, Bondi dished right back at them as Raskin went on about what he had previously told her. Replied Bondi: "You don’t tell me anything,” and went on to mock Raskin as a 'washed-up, loser lawyer'. "And directing her wrath at Nadler, she added:

You said the president conspired, sought foreign interference in the 2016 election. Robert Mueller found no evidence, none, of foreign interference in 2016. Have you apologized to President Trump?

You all should be apologizing. You sit here and you attack the president, and I am not going to have it. I’m not going to put up with it.

None of them asked [former Attorney General] Merrick Garland, over the last four years, one word about Jeffrey Epstein. How ironic is that? You know why? Because Donald Trump.
