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.
Bondis appearance before the Senate judiciary committee will give lawmakers from both parties the opportunity to question her about the presidents 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 Bidens 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: Todays indictment reflects this Department of Justices commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people. We will follow the facts in this case.

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.

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
