Episode notes
Bondi’s Confrontational Hearing Strategy
- Pam Bondi used aggressive, Trump-like tactics in Senate exchanges to deflect questions about DOJ politicization.
- Her confrontational style shifted hearings from substance to partisan spectacle.
Attacking Questions Instead Of Answering
- Bondi repeatedly answered ethics and Epstein questions with personal attacks instead of clear denials.
- That tactic blurred oversight lines and intensified bipartisan distrust of DOJ independence.

- Illinois officials sued, arguing the deployment is unconstitutional and risks escalating tensions.
