Pam Bondi brought a document to the Judiciary Committee today that had my search history of the Epstein files on it.
The DOJ is spying on members of Congress. It’s a disgrace and I won’t stand for it.

Bondi is what you get when you match a nominally human form with a mind formed solely of avarice, cynicism, and bile. She is just aggressively unethical.
It is hard to imagine a worse kind of person, except perhaps the people who personally abused the kids (like her boss, Trump).
