Bondi testifies

 Sort of.

That guy.  I have to wonder what his story is.  Maybe what the question is.

The hearing got testy almost from the start, with Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) telling Bondi: "We ask you politely but firmly, please do not waste one second of our precious time."

Raskin told Bondi to give Democrats direct answers to their questions and not try to evade or run out the clock.

"We saw your performance in the Senate, and we're not going to accept that. This isn't a game," he added, referencing a "burn book" Bondi allegedly used to dredge up opposition research against Democrats.

[...]

The hearing continued to deteriorate from there, with Bondi clashing with nearly every Democrat on the panel with growing hostility.

Completely expected. She is a nasty piece of work. And Trump likes that about her. It's exactly the way he behaves.

Asked by Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) how many alleged Epstein co-conspirators the DOJ is pursuing, he and Bondi got into another heated back and forth, with Bondi declaring, "Oh, OK, here we go with these theatrics."

"Not on our time, no way," Raskin said. "And I told you about that, attorney general, before we started."

"You don't tell me anything, you washed-up, loser lawyer!" Bondi shouted back at Raskin. "You're not even a lawyer."

See what I mean?

Bondi even clashed with Republican Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), a libertarian-minded conservative who has led the charge to release the Epstein files.

Of course. Massie is detested by Trump world precisely because of his stance on the Epstein files.

Massie confronted Bondi over allegations that the DOJ has over-redacted key information in the Epstein files and withheld crucial documents from the public.

"This guy has Trump derangement syndrome, he needs to - you're a failed politician," Bondi responded.

As Bondi began to respond by referencing a slain Border Patrol agent, Balint shot back, "For goodness' sake, this is pathetic ... this is not a game, secretary."

"I'm attorney general," Bondi responded, with Balint quipping, "My apologies, I couldn't tell."

Ouch.

I'm guessing this is why they're laughing...

UPDATE 05:37 pm:

Not the first time she did this.  At least she did it with a looseleaf notebook.

Gym Jordan has the gavel.  She knows she can get away with it.

This clip fleshes out Balint's comment with her question and Bondi's nasty response.

God, Blondie is SUCH a twat.
