Pam Bondi Turns the Tables on Senate Democrats in Fiery Judiciary Hearing

By Matt Vespa | Commentary, Townhall

Attorney General Pam Bondi came out swinging today during her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Democrats’ plan was clear from the start: to distract and divert from their government shutdown, lawlessness in cities, rogue judges, and the death and destruction Joe Biden’s open border policies unleashed. Pam Bondi was having none of it and continuously brought the conversation back to what Democrats tried to avoid. It’s one of those things: Democrats need to shift the focus on who’s to blame to mask their incompetence. She came prepared, bringing a gun to the Democrats’ knife fight. When liberal media reporters admit that she was cooking Democrats, you know it’s bad.

Before we get to her taking these clowns to the cleaners, let’s get down to the Justice Department’s report card, which Democrats ignored to spew their talking points, which she slapped down with ease. She came prepared; they did not.

Senate Democrats seem completely unprepared for the personal attacks @AGPamBondi came prepared to launch at each one of them today, and they are failing to rebut them.

“While there is more work to do, I believe that in eight short months, we have made tremendous progress towards those ends,” said Bondi. “Our U.S. Attorneys, Immigration attorneys, and law enforcement agents are excepted employees who are still hard at work prosecuting key cases and keeping our streets safe.”

In the war on fentanyl, 4,500 kilograms of powder, 50 million pills, 58,000 kilograms of methamphetamine, and 203,000 kilograms of cocaine were seized by the Drug Enforcement Administration. The FBI saw a 91 percent increase in the arrest of violent offenders, some 23,000 arrests, and nabbed 1,500 more child predators from last year. The operations of 1,600 gangs and drug cartels, something that’s been admitted to by members of these enterprises.

The US Marshal Service has captured 51,000 fugitives. The BATFE has seized 25,000 illegal firearms and 13,600 explosives, with 3,400 firearms being illegally trafficked to Mexico.

Bondi reaffirmed that the DOJ remains operational, despite the antics from Democrats on the Hill. The civil rights division remains hell on wheels regarding discrimination and antisemitism, especially on college campuses. The criminal division remains aggressive in putting away high-profile terrorists.

So, with all that laid out, the Democrats tried to score points, and it failed. It’s not the best ground for them to mount any offensive, since voters rightly view Democrats as weak on public safety. Bondi had epic one-liners and rebuttals, which Democrats had no comeback for. Sen. Dick Blumenthal (D-CT) tried to question Bondi’s integrity. She shot back that he lied about his military record, which is true. Bondi slammed Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), noting that her entire staff was working without pay because her party had shut down the government. She also reminded Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) that the National Guard is en route to his state, along with FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, to restore law and order to his state.
