Jamie Raskin berated Bondi's earlier Senate performance before the questioning began, saying that she brought... What did he call it? A "burn book" or something?
Basically, instead of preparing for the actual questions she'd be asked, she prepared a book of insults and ad hominem for the people asking the questions.
And I couldn't help but notice that in her testimony yesterday, every time she flipped through the huge binder next to her, rather than answering the question, she'd just start attacking the person who asked the question.
So, she did the same thing again. A one trick pony who couldn't imagine that they'd prepare countermeasures for her embarrassing previous performance.
And she was caught lying under oath immediately after she did so.
Only a complete idiot would allow themselves to be put in such a situation.
She should have resigned long ago. She should have done a lot of things, but what can you expect of a complete idiot? If she's remembered at all in the future, it will be for her unparalleled stupidity.
Not only did she have a stupid "burn book" but she also brought out printed pages showing the search history of Congress members who were allowed to view the secret files, and this was photographed. They monitored, logged, and tagged the searches and documents members of Congress accessed, and she was dumb enough to hold evidence of it in front of press photographers. Now there's going to be a congressional inquiry into that too.
Along with the printed out search histories were summaries of the items that were viewed.
Remember how, I think just two days ago, it came out that there was an email referencing a 9-year-old Brazilian girl? And the administration's response was that it was obviously a typo and it was a 19-year-old girl (nevermind that other emails reference 10-, 11-year-olds)?
The "summary" of that email was an exact quote of the line with the 9-year-old girl except edited to say 19. I haven't seen this mentioned by anybody else, but you can see it in a photo from at least one article that was released earlier today about Bondi having Pramila Jayapal's search history.
They're not even honest to themselves.
What good is making her resign going to do? Don't get me wrong, she should be gone, but Trump put her there and she's doing what he wants her to do. Forcing Trump to swap one stooge for another doesn't accomplish anything except resetting the "Trump's AG did something bad" counter, which might actually be useful to him but doesn't help us at all. Focus on the guy who put this obviously unqualified person in charge of the DOJ.
I believe there is a limited supply of practicing lawyers who will ruin their own lives and careers to support Trump, a man who will not ever return the favor.
To make a Pam Bondi, you need to find someone who is a completely incompetent moron who can also pass a bar exam.
I think another Bill Barr is more likely. A person who initially thinks it's a good idea to support Trump, but later defies him.
There is something to be said for the friction in bringing someone new into the role. Nobody is ever as effective in their first few weeks as they are a year into the job.
There's no way her replacement would be good, but a revolving door makes things more difficult for him.
I suppose that's true but it does seem like it would be more effective to spend the effort tying her failures directly to Trump rather than letting him offer her up as the sacrificial lamb. People seem to think he's good at delegation and "business stuff" so hammer him with the mistakes his people make and force voters to remember how highly he once spoke of them.
At this point, who are we trying to convince? Nobody who's still defending the guy is going to change their mind no matter the logic you use towards them.
I'm fully in support of "throw wrenches in their attempts to do things" instead.
