Pam Bondi, upon being asked specific, reasonable, and highly important questions today – failed to answer almost any of them. Instead she responded by:

• Glorifying her boss
• Attacking the questioner (a profound tell of guilt/complicity)

Chilling thread.

The US no longer has a representative government if a single agency - DHS - can violate our Constitution, laws, and court orders, and commit crimes against humanity with impunity. Congressional leadership is derelict in its duties and therefore complicit, as is the SCOTUS majority.
I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

Court battle over surveillance footage at the Broadview ICE detention center reaches new levels of kafkaesque absurdity: The DOJ claimed it *couldn't afford* hard drives to put video footage on. Plaintiffs bought THE US GOVERNMENT hard drives. ICE "lost" them.

“Last May, as a groundswell built demanding public scrutiny of the Justice Department's records on Epstein, the agency ran into a problem: it had already destroyed its master copy of surveillance video from Epstein's final hours in the Metropolitan Correctional Center.”
Newly released documents show the FBI's scramble to explain last year why it released a screen recording with a missing minute from the night Jeffrey Epstein died, instead of the original footage.
Mystery of the missing minute from Epstein jail solved
Documents that were part of the Epstein files release help explain why a video released from the night of Epstein's death was missing one minute close to midnight.

If the Attorney General is yelling at Congress members during an oversight committee, screaming that the President is the greatest ever and everyone owes him an apology, when the Justice Department is supposed to be an independent entity, maybe she should be immediately dismissed.
