WHITEHOUSE: How many suspicious activity reports did you investigate out of the hundreds related to accounts of Jeffrey Epstein?

BONDI: I'm not sure if you're concerned, because you took money I believe from Reid Hoffman, if that's correct

WHITEHOUSE: You seem to have looked at 0 of them

Last night, my team filed a motion to defend voters in California.

DOJ sued 8 states. My firm has filed to protect voters in all 8 states.

We will never back down from the fight to protect free and fair elections.

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files.

My team has now filed motions to defend voters in 7 of those cases in ME, MI, MN, NH, NY, OR and PA.

I suggest that DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining one in CA.

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

Pam Bondi is so hostile, angry, and rude, today.

All these headlines saying “Bondi Goes on the Attack.” Really? She wasn’t in the octagon, she’s a public servant who was at an oversight hearing. Her job was to answer questions. She refused to do her job. Stop glamorizing and whitewashing this moronic, performative bullshit.

Millions of old men are yelling at assisted living and nursing home attendants right now, and they all sound very much like Krasnov, but unfortunately Krasnov was chosen by the FSB and Mossad, probably because he was the only child sex trafficker who is also some sort of pied piper of white morons.
