I honestly can’t remember any prior AG being this overtly disrespectful in a Congressional hearing.
They really think they’re never going to be in the minority.
Maybe I memory holed it, but personal attacks on members of Congress during testimony just seems so out of bounds.

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity.

It's not surprising that Lutnik was a business associate of Epstein and is all over the Epstein files.
It's not surprising that he lied about it.
It is surprising that his lies were so detailed and well thought out.
And it is surprising that he didn't realize the truth would be known.
