Refusing to answer any pertinent questions. Or responding with personal slurs or ‘But what about YOUR side!’ And she’s posing for the men; clearly thinks she’s hot. I loved it when she said ‘Don’t you DARE impugn my integrity! You lied about your service record!’ (which is undoubtedly a lie itself). This woman is a fake, a bimbo, and a toady. But she’s photogenic! - and really, that’s all that counts.

Hadn’t heard that, so I looked it up. Apparently, Blumenthal made a number of references to his service in Vietnam, but in actuality he served stateside in the Marine Corps reserve during the war. He may have been using the term ‘Vietnam’ to refer to the Vietnam War, not the country, but it is too cute by half. Still, not sure I’d consider it a big lie, although those who risked their lives in the jungle would probably think differently.

Pam Bondi, a $25,000 Donation and Trump University: Questions Remain
While Ms. Bondi, President-elect Donald J. Trump’s pick for attorney general, served as attorney general of Florida, her office declined to investigate allegations of fraud against his for-profit school.
By Eric Lipton
Nov. 22, 2024

Reports of deceptive practices and fraud by Donald J. Trump and his Trump University business unit had been piling up for several years in states across the nation, including in Florida.

The state attorney general in New York moved in, filing a lawsuit in 2013 that accused Mr. Trump and his for-profit trade school of “engaging in persistent fraudulent, illegal and deceptive conduct,” even though by that point Trump University was already out of business.

The Florida attorney general’s office, which Pam Bondi had taken over in 2011, handled it differently.

She publicly acknowledged that her office was examining complaints about Trump University, but it decided against a formal investigation.

The decision came soon after Mr. Trump, through his family foundation, sent a check for $25,000 to a political action committee associated with Ms. Bondi, who was running for a second term.

MSNBC has been doing pretty good fact checking and analysis. Carol Leonnig described her as pugilisitic.

The Whitehouse questioning was typical Sheldon Whitehouse - clear headed and that of a lawyer. She refused to answer several of his questions. When asked if she had seen the pictures of DJT with half naked girls, as described by a reporter (Michael Wolff), she refused to answer. She deflected to other topics and fillibustered.

The diverting to other topics is an ongoing tactic of hers. One of her diversions includes hurling personal attacks at the Democratic Senators themselves.

She is unprofessional and inappropriate in her behavior. She wouldn't know decorum if it sat down next to her.

As you can imagine, she was especially inappropriate and combative with Senator Schiff. So much so that when he was entering documents into the record (after his questioning), she kept spouting insults at him. She, like so many in the regime, is unhinged as well as incompetent and dangerous.

The interaction with Sheldon Whitehouse is at 1:23:16.

Her interaction with Dick Durbin was also notable - it was at the beginning of the hearing.

And her interaction w/ Schiff was notable.

She was rude and combative with most of the Democratic Senators. She hurled oppo research type slurs at many of them - Blumenthal regarding his service record and Hirono for protesting next to "Antifa".

40. Whitehouse & Bondi
Tue Oct 7, 2025, 02:02 PM
Tuesday


Senator Whitehouse once asked,
Where'd fifty grand go—was it passed?
Bondi said with a shrug,
"Go ask the big plug,"
While dodging the question steadfast.

Whitehouse asked, “Where’s all that dough?”
But Bondi just smiled, said, “Don’t know!”
“Ask the FBI,”
Was her cagey reply—
Though they work for her, not for show.

Said Whitehouse, “That cash—where’d it go?”
“Ask the FBI,” Bondi said real slow.
“But they report to you!”
“Well, that may be true…”
“But I’d rather not actually know.”

Damn, she's rude! And unprofessional, petty, confrontational, and snippy. Constantly talking over the top of people. Her main answer to any question was, "I can't discuss that." Warping the truth, and outright lying. No wonder trump loves her--she's his clone!

This hearing is useless, except for highlighting these qualities, and making her king happy that she's, "owning the libs."

Because she could do nothing to attack their arguments. Attacking the person because you cannot defeat their argument is a hallmark of bad debaters.

I hope Bondi already has her pardon under lock and key. Because she’s going to prison otherwise.
