Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

To avoid answering a question, you fall back on the logical fallacy of ad hominem attacks.

Suppose you used personal attacks on your adversary -- or the judge -- instead of answering the question. Contempt of court, and you'd lose your case.

So Bondi plans her congressional hearings by bringing up dirt on the senators who questioned her rather than answering the questions. This is the lying schemer that is running the DOJ.

Presumably she has a folder like that for each Democratic Senator. Might be wise (necessary?) for one of those Senators to remind the Attorney General of her obligations under the Federal Records Act of 1950 in case she's unfamiliar. Those folders might need to be subpoenaed or requested under FOIA.

Are these official government records that must be retained?

yes

but she won't
