Pam Bondi to testify before Senate amid Trump's troop deployments

Source: The Guardian

Tue 7 Oct 2025 07.00 EDT


Pam Bondi, the US attorney general, will face senators on Tuesday, as Donald Trump ramps up his crackdown on political opponents, Democratic-run cities and alleged drug traffickers.

Bondi’s appearance before the Senate judiciary committee will give lawmakers from both parties the opportunity to question her about the president’s high-profile interventions into the justice system, including the indictment last month of the former FBI director James Comey, a longtime foe.

“No one is above the law,” Bondi wrote on social media after the charges against Comey were announced – an echo of rhetoric used by Democrats after Trump was indicted during Joe Biden’s presidency.

Though the charges were filed against Comey only after a top federal prosecutor was dismissed, reportedly for not moving forward with the case, Bondi said: “Today’s indictment reflects this Department of Justice’s commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people. We will follow the facts in this case.”

…a lot more evasion and gish galloping, I would think:
“Senator, I’m refusing to answer your question by talking about something you didn’t ask about.”

Really?

Will you do this when irrefutable evidence appears that the orange gibbon and his cronies stole one election and tried to overthrow another? Will you hold that statement when the evidence about his shady dealings and his outright illegal activities come to light in piles?

I didn't think so, you two-faced harpy. You know what you are about.

So do we.

She is ruthless and is not answering most of the questions asked of her. She is clearly skirting the Epstein file questions. I'm not a lawyer, but I just don't see that she is performing her duties as assigned. She should be impeached.

crush US citizens in Portland.

Also, why is Trump asking if he is being showed the wrong information about Portland? Who is showing him that false information?

She will just lie, of course, but I want her to go to jail in the future if there is such a thing as justice anymore

They need to know that we are calling them out on their lies. I think they just thought they could get away with it.

because MAGAts actually believe the lies they tell. With no discernable conscience, lying is as natural as breathing for them.

I loved it when Sen. Whitehouse finally said "They work for you, why can't you answer the question?"
