Today’s performance by Pam Bondi was not only unacceptable, it was clearly a smoke screen for a coverup, and her anger is at herself because her shattered moral compass still has a pulse.

Trump tried to imprison Senators for stating the law, saying things he didn't like.
This is a disgusting and corrupt abuse of power—as un-American as it gets.
But guess what? Trump doesn't call all of the shots. And the PEOPLE rejected this sham indictment. Keep speaking out.

Weren't GOP senators demanding $500k because the DOJ researched their call records on January 6th?
"It is totally inappropriate and against the separations of powers for the DOJ to surveil us as we search the Epstein files. (US Attorney General) Bondi showed up today with a burn book that held a printed search history of exactly what emails I searched." - Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA).
