Pam Bondi thought she was being smart but ended up blowing her own face off and it’s simply glorious
There was no end of memorable moments when Trump’s attorney general Pam Bondi gave evidence before members of Congress over her handling, such as it is, of the Epstein Files.
But none of them were more satisfying than this, when she thought she was being clever with Democratic congresswoman Becca Ballit.
But it turned out Bondi didn’t reckon upon Ballet’s A++ final word and it was just magnificent.

How do you like THEM apples, secretary?
And here are just a few of the many responses it prompted.

“This is not a game, Secretary.”
“I’m Attorney General.”
“My apologies, I couldn’t tell.”
Becca Balint just won the day.

“my apologies, i couldn’t tell” is the line of the entire hearing. bondi spent three hours filibustering, deflecting to the stock market, and insulting congressmen. at some point you stop calling it testimony and start calling it obstruction.

When that rep called Bondi ‘secretary’ and Bondi said ‘I’m attorney general 😡’ and the rep said ‘Ope my bad, I couldn’t tell’… That’s the shit I do like
