Pam Bondi’s Prepared Insult Flash Cards Exposed by GOP Rep

Republican Representative Thomas Massie sharply criticized Attorney General Pam Bondi after she appeared on Capitol Hill, index cards in hand, ready to hurl insults at her detractors, refusing to answer questions about Jeffrey Epstein.

For hours, relentlessly questioned by members of Congress, Ms. Bondi flipped through her briefing notes, lashing out at those who had dared to criticize her for the Justice Department’s disastrous handling of documents related to the convicted sex offender.

“The irony of the situation is that Ms. Bondi’s insults toward members of Congress who were asking serious questions: her aides had given her index cards with personalized insults, but she was unable to memorize them. So we see her flipping through them, looking for the appropriate insult for each elected official,” Mr. Massie wrote on X Wednesday afternoon.

Mr. Massie, a Kentucky congressman and frequent Trump critic, who was forced to vote for the release of the Epstein files, was among the few Republicans to criticize Ms. Bondi over the Epstein investigation.

Massie sharply criticized Bondi for the Justice Department’s failure to withhold the names and information of survivors and for protecting those suspected of conspiracy named in the released documents.

Bondi fired back at Massie, calling him a “failed politician” and accusing him of being a “Trump fanatic” during a heated exchange.

At the end of the hearing, Massie nearly lost his temper, bombarding Bondi with questions. Moments later, speaking to reporters outside the courtroom, he launched a scathing attack on her, accusing her of using incompetence as a pretext.

Throughout the hearing, the attorney general refused to answer questions from Democrats, preferring to rely on pre-prepared arguments to attack them.

This stance was similar to that adopted by other members of the Trump administration and senior officials, including FBI Director Kash Patel, during their testimony.

A close-up photo of the attorney general’s documents revealed that she had printed out Representative Pramila Jayapal’s research log when the congresswoman from Washington reviewed Epstein’s unredacted documents. This suggested that the Justice Department was monitoring members of Congress who had accessed these documents in order to use them against them.

“It is completely inappropriate and contrary to the principle of separation of powers for the Justice Department to monitor us while we review Epstein’s files,” Jayapal wrote on X. “Today, Bondi arrived with a notebook containing a printed research log detailing precisely which emails she had reviewed. This is outrageous, and I intend to pursue this matter and put an end to this spying on members of Congress.”

Bondi’s evasive manner and attempts to discredit Democrats became a recurring theme throughout the hearing.

Each time a Democrat’s speaking time expired, Bondi asked the next Republican representative if she could take 20 seconds to respond to her Democratic colleagues. They all agreed.

Bondi would then launch into a torrent of insults written on pre-prepared slips of paper, or brandish photos of people she claimed were convicted undocumented immigrants from her district.

But her prepared speech backfired, and Democratic representatives ridiculed her repeatedly during the long and heated question-and-answer sessions.

When Bondi attacked Representative Becca Pallent, she accused the Vermont congresswoman of failing to vote for a resolution while antisemitism was on the rise in the United States.

“Oh, you really want to get involved in this, Madam Attorney General?” retorted the Jewish congresswoman. “Are you serious, talking about antisemitism to a woman who lost her grandfather in the Holocaust? Really?” “

The Attorney General, sitting cross-legged, wore a smug smile as Pallent continued his monologue.

Other Democrats, anticipating what was to come, asked Bondi to respond immediately after the end of their question-and-answer session. After launching a scathing attack on Bondi, calling her “one of the worst prosecutors in history and a tool of Donald Trump to implement his authoritarian agenda,” Representative Choi Garcia said, “Let’s hear the arguments of the opposition.”

Bondi abruptly announced that Garcia would not be running again, then later admitted, after reviewing her notes, that she didn’t know the reason.

Representative Jared Moskowitz went even further, pulling out a chart at the end of his speech and mocking him.

“Because I’m curious, and I just want to see,” he said with a grin, “open the Jared Moskowitz section of the file. I’m interested to see what the opposing team has prepared against me, and since we’re at the Olympics, I’m going to take a look.”

As he spoke, he opened a pencil cap and said, “I just want to see what it’s worth, so give me the best.”

The attorney general had previously accused him of mocking the Bible after he held up a copy of the Bible bearing Trump’s name during his speech, which he denied, but she declined to comment further.

“I want an insult. I want an insult. Which one’s the best? What do you have?” he continued.

As he spoke, he tapped his pen on the whiteboard, as if he were about to score a point. When she refused to answer, he seemed to write a large zero.
