At today’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), a man who was also targeted by the FBI Arctic Frost surveillance operation, demanded answers from Attorney General Pam Bondi. WATCH:

Code Red – does she give a straight answer?
I think this was a Code Blonde. 😉
Does she really know?
She didn’t get the joke!
I think she said “I’ll get back to you on that. But right now I’m late for hair appointment and then I have an appearance on FOX News. But don’t worry, the answer is in a file on my desk.”
Pam can’t handle the truth.
She was a Democrat before she became a RINO.
What’s the difference ?
Kabuki theater.
Exactly. Arrest and convict someone or shut up. Actions speak louder than words.
Matthew 7–20, where Jesus says:
“You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thornbushes, nor figs from thistles. Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So then, you will know them by their fruits.”
Rotten fruit.
A whole city full of rotten fruit!
More hearings…………….and nothing gets done and no on is held responsible.
Honestly, with all of this Government Shut Down business, these chooches should be the first ones to have their pay held up. They never DO anything.
You’re right Jt………..it’s all Kabuki
Big Mike, Soetoro, the chef, or Colonel Mustard?
Colonel Mustard? Man, That was a long time ago! Good Fun.
Love that
Colonel Mustard in the Library with a Fork.
Big Mike in the pond with a paddle board.
Ms. Scarlett in the library with the autopen.
One of the perks of being older. The ability to remember the fun games from long ago and enjoy them with people of like station in life.
Colonel Mustard in the swimming pool with a paddleboard.
Just a thought, that with all the little tasty nuggets coming out of today’s hearing(s) it might be worthwhile to bump the most recent discussion by Mr. Spiropoulis for late-comers’ continuing ed credits.
Bondi is like fingernails on a chalkboard. She’s just doesn’t impress.
It’s almost like she was crying, holding back the tears and quivering voice. Those acting lessons being put into use. I don’t think Hollywood is in her future. Not even B-film producers will be calling to cast her.
What is it with supposedly powerful women put into powerful positions who lean into dramatic waterworks and emotional voices when they take the stage? Margaret Thatcher needed none of those props when she was on stage. We suffer weak leaders. On both sides.
Yessss! She has that whiny nasal voice, like Dyan Cannon in Heaven Can Wait.
It is not enough that the robbers stop robbing the bank.
There must be prosecutions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish Hawley had continuously hammered that home in his ending statement, instead of mentioning it at the end.
Much of the response on ‘X’ to these politicians’ wailings is exactly that. Do it, or STFU.
President Trump told her recently something like: Someone has to be accountable. His patience is about done/
Mine would have been “done” long ago. This is the problem with our government. By the time they get around to “actually doing something” we have forgotten about it.
“By the time they get around to “actually doing something” we have forgotten about it.”
Ummm………….That’s not a bug. That’s their intentional feature.
just maybe return the loot?
Well said!
Everything is unfolding according to DJT.
Surely not?
It was the RUSSIANS, I tell you. So sick and tired of these DO NOTHING Republicans. All we ever have is hearings and at the end nothing is ever done. They must be paid by the amount of hearings they have. And by the way Mr. President, convictions of these Communists Traitors is what is going to save our Country not Tariffs.
Yeah, those Russians did it, Boris Obama and Natasha Clinton.
What exactly do you think that they can do?
They ge only thing that any single one of them can do is call for a quorum during a “recess” or vote against unanimous consent prior to one.
I think a strongly worded letter is in order.
As I listen to this video and the others from the hearing …. the utter inadequacy of Bondi to hold this office is so apparent.
We know for a fact that the REPUBLICAN Senators are her “friends and defenders” in these types of hearings, no matter if they are Republicans or UniParty. We know for a fact the Republican Senators would have at least prepped her with advance copies of their statements and questions …. and yet all she can muster is bla bla NON Answers to everything sent her way by the friendly Republican Senators.
She has to go. Answering softball questions on Fox is one thing but being a total putz on this stage is inexcusable … this is the forum where she can go all out …. and she failed.
Doc: Its entirely performative. Both for her and the Gentleman from MO. The fact she gave nonanswers allows the GOPe to send her a sternly worded letter instead of just a strongly worded letter in follow up.
I am NOT buying that excuse. We have seen our share of pro-formative hearings for sure and this was one of them. HOWEVER, NEVER has a key Cabinet Member not at least given some (1 or 2) fiery GERMAIN Statements before going pro-formative.
[Her quip vs Bluementhal was a useless cheap shot and she needed Marsha Blackburn’s help to fire back at Durbin.]
Throughout the day the ball was put on the net for her to spike and she failed to even hit dink.
That dog does not hunt in this case.
Yes…when confirmed…with no dem pushback (which was a red flag) I wanted to give her 6 months to “figure” it out….
Coming up 10 months…she is the weak link in the chain…whereas given what our President went through this position should have been the strongest.
Was the fear confirmation of another…say a Matt Gaetz…or the fact that she showed her face at our President’s trial in NY that got her the nomination?
Given her accomplishments so far…which have been few…she needs to be shown the door…
I hope this some kind of tortoise and hare story.
he should have picked a Redhead.
Dems may be correct that President Biden did NOT order the targeting of political opponents. He did not have the faculties to do so. So who did? I bet is the same people behind the auto pen and every other major decision coming out of the White House. Expose them all and hold ALL accountable for usurping the Office of the President.
Paging “Oh Balm Ah!”
It seems apparent that Biden must be called to testify. The spying is that bad.
And, no, the politicians and pundits should not be allowed to gently lift him off the hook, by saying, “let’s not pester this tired old man.”
If Biden is incompetent to testify to Congress, then he or his lawyers must certify that, and then let the chips fall where they may. If it leads to the legal determination that the last presidency was illegitimate, due to mental competence, then we – as a people – will have to nut up and follow that thread.
I have no problem with the national embarassment if Biden were to collapse under oath, if he wants to be a hardhead. He already embarassed the nation for many years.
If Biden didn’t know about it, then he MUST TESTIFY UNDER OATH. Then que sera, sera.
The spying must never happen again.
And Biden needs to be forced to raise his right hand and testify, or he must be declared, as a private citizen, incompetent as of 2025. Then investigations may begin as to when he became incompetent.
There’s an outside chance that he’s been playing senile all this time, so his family can be allowed to skip out with all the foreign money they somehow ended up with.
There’s no avoiding this, if we care about truth and the future.
Agree. If he is indeed found to be incompetent, then his “doctors” and others should be prosecuted for not telling the people the truth, holding back evidence of his mental failure and incompetence and should clear the way for the revocation of every decision he made as President.
I thought for a minute we had lost Pam.
This woman is sooooo in over her head. She even physically shrinks from the role when testifying. The body language is so telling.
Welllllll…..I made it just over 6 min. this time…..
bc Hawley did all the talking….once Bondi started I threw up in my mouth a little….and had to stop it…..I ve been willing to give her the benefit of the doubt and disregard all the haters……but I think I’m done ….there doesn’t seem to be a legitimate honest bone in her body…. I don’t think for a second that 47 is UNAWARE of how she/this looks…… Trump playing musical chairs with appointed talent is NOT a good look either, but that was kinda his M.O. on the Apprentice which I think reflected his reality outside of the show in all but the top spots….
He needs to be forced to realize that the casual manner in which he selected Bondi for the position was a mistake he now will be paying for himself as she continues to make a fool of herself.
Bondi “I can’t talked about this (arctic frost/ code red) for a very good reason.”
What?!!!!! She needs to go.
Maybe she can’t talk about it in public because the DOJ is still looking into who called for a Code Red? There should be a signed judicial order on the call registries and other pleadings IDing what attorney filed for them.
If not, it’s going to take some digging if it was clandestine.
She probably had to ask somebody when the show was over just what is this “Arctic Frost” thingy that everyone was talking about today….
Y’all are too funny! Ehem I’m trying to give this the seriousness it deserves but it’s not easy given the kabuki theater hour and the comments here.
It is under grand jury investigation. Some aspects of the investigation cannot be revealed to the public.
This explains grand jury secrecy requirements.
https://www.justice.gov/archives/jm/criminal-resource-manual-156-disclosure-matters-occurring-grand-jury-department-justice-attys
Do any of the people here even watch the hearings, or do they just parrot the talking points of other Bondi haters?
Bondi absolutely made mince meat of all the Democrat Senators today, fully embarrassing them in public view.
She came prepared.
I must have been in the bathroom when that happened.
Pam sure slapped the Lies of Da Nang Dick Blumenthal right out of his mouth and left him with a smarting red face in public.
An AG is prohibited from discussing on-going DOJ/FBI investigations in public, so cut her some slack on Artic Frost matters until a report is published followed by indictments.
Pam answers to someone far more concerned than us,… President Trump.
Anyone can do that to Senator Blumenthal! He’s not the sharpest knife in the Senate! But he does get reelected in spite of his braggadocio lying!!!
Exactly.
Surely, you jest?
Talking tough? Wow that’s gonna make America great again
Saw that, I agree. She defends Herself well.
After all Americans have been through such as lockdowns, muzzled, lied too, spied on, entrapment, etc, you think I give a rats backend about these politicians and their hurt feelings? I Don’t!!!
I Guess “Fool me once” means absolutely nothing to anyone anymore, huh?
Oh, someone was arrested and charged?
Nah, nothing to see here. But let’s be clear, they’re really mad about it.
Wake me up when someone actually gets prosecuted.
What a disaster. The upside is that, at this point, she cannot afford to not have Comey arrested tomorrow.
Do people really believe Bondi is part of the deeps state?
I haven’t been a fan but she doesn’t understand how these snakes operate.
I’m not sure the deep state wants her – might be problematic.
Btw, did anyone notice the entire country of Italy shut down. Massive strike brought the country to a close. Not a word from our wonderful “Hide” everything media. This started back September, pretty impressive I might add.
Sorry for the interruption, I’ll let everyone get back to playing the Hopium game.
Obama and Monaco.
There’s just something wrong with her. Don’t know what or why but she seems insincere.
She’s just extremely self-conscious. Her focus is 100% on herself, here. While performatively reading prepared (by someone smarter than her) responses… It’s cringe to watch.
Think Hawley has Oval asperations. Before last years election we had to go to a gathering. Very mixed room. There was a discussion about “after Trump”, that was behind us in a crowd. The group was the left of Abby Hoffman crowd. Rabid about Hawley and wanted the Gestapo and Garland to put him in jail.
Had already been watching Hawley for a number of years. Decided he must really be eating their lunch and over some targets to attract that type of rabid discussion.
Going to keep him on a short list. Think he tried to help in a good way the first term. Did some good moves when he was on judiciary during 45.
Seriously? “Tapped my phone”! None of them know about the searchable NSA database?
Once a phone’s been tapped. How do we know is UNtapped? How does one verify something like that? Because they said so?
It’s hard to get worked up over the government “officials'” phones being tapped, when We the People are subject to unwarranted searches on the regular. But, I guess, for anything to be done about it, they have to feel the outrage too.
Yeah, they get all worked up when it is their phones being tapped, but unhesitatingly reauthorize FISA so they can look at everyone else. But for all their outrage, I do not for one second believe they didn’t already know all about what came out about their phones being tapped. They just had to call this hearing so they could show everyone else their “outrage” about it. And when FISA comes up for reauthorization again, which is soon, they will all vote for it again.
lol.. well it was obamas 3rd term and he was present in the WH more than 200 days per year the whole joebama term and he was very similar with the auto pen
I’m reminded of Biden’s last debate performance, when anyone with 2 neurons to rub together could anticipate his total failure.
Was today’s theater performance staged to let her fail? So Trump has an excuse to let her go?
Cuz otherwise, our enemies can smell her weakness, and are circling.
“Good G-d, what is happening in this country?”
A: institutional collapse. And the Senate won’t do a flipping thing about it. Nobody will be arrested. Nobody will go to jail. The Senate will extend FISA-702. No budgets will be cut. No positions eliminated. This will, in turn, lead to EVEN MORE of the thing Hawley rants about. Because why TF would anybody believe they’re at any risk of something worse than a strongly worded letter and maybe they lose their job for a few months until the next administration. Or they get a 7-figure job as a “consultant” or President of a university or whatever.
Oh, and lovely, at 08:30ish on the playback Hawley calls for a “Special Counsel”…which is simply a black bag operation.
And the Blonde, “Weaponization under Trump has ended.” No. It has paused. If she doesn’t start throwing people in prison, and the number at this point is in the 100’s, all of this continues in 3 years, 3 months. And it is going to be MUCH WORSE next time.
100 %
SD no one equals your wit !
Sen. Hawley asks her who ordered the Code Red.
Bondi replies: You can’t handle the truth.
Sen. Hawley proceeds to let her know The Truth step by step exactly how it occurred.
Nice made up talking point.
It must have been that dastardly Autopen that signed off on those phone taps.
Well, nobody was held accountable for the illegal raid on Mar-a-Largo, so let’s just be business as usual. Can you imagine to sh.. they now have on Ms Lindsey. It’s really not been a good 2 days gang.
Who ordered the Code Red?
Chris Wray and Merrick Garland!
A wild guess.
Rah rah rah! let’s go team! mumbojumbomumbojumomumbojumbo.
He’s mad as hell and he’s “not gonna take it anymore”…🙄
Why does it all seem so theatrical?
Why does Trump keep her when ALL can see its beyond her abilities.
Does he prefer Blondie to another who has both the intellectual wherewithal AND the mettle…?
Well, just so you don’t get really disillusioned. General Kellogg’s daughter runs an NGO Operation in Ukraine running mercenaries into and out of the battlefields….
“Europe has already ponied up sheep-dipped troops as mercs to sacrifice on the altar of Project Ukraine: Poland, for instance, has reportedly suffered 10,000 casualties. Russia’s MoD routinely locates unadvertised NATO concentrations in eastern Ukraine and the Odessa region and obliterates them w/ Iskandrs. The pizza restaurants, the hotels, data centers: Russia finds concentrations of French & British mercs and terminates them.
We know that Gen Kellogg’s daughter has operated an NGO operation located in the Odessa/Kherson whose mission has been since 2014 to whisk Western casualties, primarily U.S., from the LOC and send them to Germany, whether for treatment in hospitals or for final rites in morgues. It’s possible to believe that her operation is unique and one-of-a-kind—the only group facilitating the smooth transfer of Western troops into the AFU and then back out—but it seems unlikely.
So the U.S.-led NATO has been fringe-contributing to Project Ukraine’s body count since the ultra-nationalist militias suited up and first began battling LPR and DPR in May 2014.
Add in the mercs from Colombia and Pakistan and perhaps some other farflung areas and one recognizes a dynamic pipeline of troops masquerading as AFU in order to bolster Project Ukraine. So, Todd’s remark that “In Europe, military defeat is poorly understood by leaders” beggars the imagination.”
From Moon of Alabama today..
it has become a joke. what would it take to arrest with prejudice just one – one- of these clowns? they probably will send a limo to pick up comey the day of his arraignment with a hair stylist and make up artist so he can look his best. probably give him a few hundred mug shots so he can choose the one allowing him to look his best.
For 10 years this has gone on and I think one person was fined $100. It shouldn’t be unexpected that people see this as more of the same show and fully expect no action.
I watched this clip because Sen. Hawley is my senior senator.
I have not been real enamored with him the past few years but hey, he is assuredly in our camp. I did like the fact that on J6 he was going to attempt to slow down the obvious coronation of the potato.
But he’s pretty hot now as he should be, but I don’t recall a lot of empathy for the folks who knew the election was stolen but were dumb enough to walk into the trap.
But when I heard the AG’s response to his questions-her expiration date should have been a few months ago.
Either we restore this country NOW, or get ready for anarchy.
Well, I am going to step out on the ledge and and say that I just watched a great deal of this committee meeting, including the preceding questions by Dem Senators and I found AG Bondi definitely up to the task.
Tough and taking no prisoners. By the way, I do see an awful lot of new names full of negative remarks.
I do advise going to C-Span and watching it yourselves. Especially those moments before Senator Hawley. I stopped there because I just could not stand listening to another Democrat Senator.
Truly not wanting to put her down. Her answers were fine its just her delivery sounded empty of real purpose.
She is playing a role, she has no fire in the belly like Miller or Homan.
Honestly I had read what Sundance had written in the Cruz and Mirono threads and didn’t feel as though I needed confirmation for her trying to tread water.
AG : “You know, Schiff, if you worked for me, you would’ve been FIRED, because you were censured by Congress for LYING!”
“You’ve been attacking my FBI Director, my office, the border czar…’oversight?’ You want your 5 MINUTES OF FAME, attacking GOOD people!
🩹
Pursuant to Sen. Hawley’s request. . .
Special Prosecutor Matt Gaetz?
100% Theater…..Sadly, Hawley is the Trey Gowdy of the Jason Chaffetz…..Hawley acts surprised he was spied on……Lol, Yet has poster board material ready to go on cue……These Politicians should be in Cirque du Soleil and go on Tour…..Losers….
^^^^
Wow awful crimes
No real punishment
Jack Smith not arrested?
Blondie had a big scrappy day. Maybe this kind of show was what Trump hired her for? It is all well and good to want results and actions, but ignoring the shallow idiocracy of the USA might not work out, either. You have to learn to swim in the pond you’re born into, whether you like that pond or not.
Uh-Oh! He used the SP (special prosecutor) word. That’s where investigations go to die
