Pam Bondi throws acting AG Todd Blanche under the bus over Epstein files in Congress testimony

Former Attorney General Pam Bondi told members of Congress that her successor Todd Blanche was responsible for the chaotic release of millions of documents connected to Jeffrey Epstein, according to Democratic lawmakers.

Bondi, who Donald Trump fired last month, told members of the House Oversight Committee during a close-door deposition that she delegated oversight of the so-called Epstein files and the federal government’s investigations into the dead sex offender to her now-former deputy.

“It was Todd Blanche, the current acting AG, that was leading the Epstein investigation,” the committee’s top Democrat Robert Garcia told reporters on Friday. “And quite frankly, all of the mistakes that we saw — the redactions, not protecting survivors — she continues to push that back onto the acting AG Todd Blanche, who by the way was Donald Trump's personal lawyer.”

Lawmakers asked her five times about her conversations with Trump concerning the case, and “she refused to answer any questions” about him, according to Garcia. “In fact, she said she would not speak or respond to any questions that had anything to do with President Trump,” he said.

1. "Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose."

Former AG Barbie's got nothing left to lose, so she might as well reach out from under the bus where she got thrown, and drag Blanche under there with her.

2. And yet she's still kissing tRump's ass.

4. Trump still has the power to set MAGA on her.

Even though she doesn't work for him any more (and actually because she doesn't), she's still bound by omertà because the MAGA flying monkeys can damage a lot more than her career. I'm convinced that a lot of the people who won't oppose Trump, including members of Congress, are quiet because their lives and their families' lives have been threatened.

8. I'm certain that's the job of many of the pardoned J6 insurrectionists.....

I've no doubt that tRump has a secret army of rioters/insurrectionist enforcers on the government payroll.

11. Of course she is..this is who she is..

a small smug vapid woman who has been doing Trump’s bidding since she was Florida’s attorney general…and I suspect revealing anything of the Trump/Epstein connection ensnares her in their sordid web of human trafficking…

3. Mierda47 fired me, but I'm not answering any questions about him, because my head is so far up his @$$ and ...

I want to keep it there.

[SamuelAdams]

5. I can't wait to hear what Trump and Blanche have to say about this.

[FakeNoose]

6. So she thinks Chump will fire Todd Blanche and hire her back?

It will never happen ...

[agingdem]

7. I suspect Bondi, the loathsome burn book queen, knew she

was always a place holder for Todd Blanche, the assistant attorney general…

9. Not a chance

She's been diagnosed with thyroid cancer now. Hope she still has her health insurance! Some folks gain weight after a thyroidectomy though. Thyroid replacement therapy isn't always easy to get just right.

The party of personal responsibility folks

12. That's how you do it Pammy!

Scorched Earth! No Prisoners!

13. ...

[GiqueCee]

14. Was Bondi...

... testifying under oath, and if so, isn't she compelled to answer any questions, save those that might incriminate her?
Bondi's arrogance is really repulsive. Is Contempt of Congress possible under those circumstances? I'd like to see her nasty ass in the political wood chipper. She is a truly horrible person.

[SeattleVet]

17. I understand that she refused to take the oath.

[GiqueCee]

19. Wow...

... she makes the Wicked Witch of the West look like a Girl Scout. What an unspeakably vile excuse for a human being.

[ChicagoTeamster]

15. She doesn't want to have Trump take her new role and she knows if she increases the pressure on Blanche

Trump will get rid of him to distance Blanche from himself

[COL Mustard]

16. Interesting philosophy. The buck stops...

Somewhere else in my department.

Wouldn’t work for me; shouldn’t work for Blondi.

[SergeStorms]

18. I have absolutely no doubt....

that Blanche could have sabotaged the entire Epstein "investigation," but whether he did or not will probably never be known.

This entire administration is as crooked as a barrel full of snakes, so getting anyone to tell the truth is impossible. The entire lot should be imprisoned.
