When Balint’s time expired, and the out lawmaker yielded back, Bondi asked for a moment to respond, and used it to go on the offensive: “You didn’t ask Merrick Garland anything about Epstein,” she said. Balint shot back: “Weak sauce.”
Bondi then escalated: “And with this anti-Semitic culture right now, she voted against a resolution …”
Balint cut her off: “Oh really? Do you want to go there, attorney general?” she said. “Talking about antisemitism to a woman who lost her grandfather in the Holocaust?”
The lawmaker then got up and left the room.
She was constantly shouting various MAGA conspiracy theories at the Democrats who asked her questions and criticized her deplorable leadership of the DoJ. They obviously spent more time creating defamatory notes she could quickly refer to, than come up with actual answers for the questions she would be asked, because they know there is NO DEFENSE for her department’s actions. Yelling insults like they are angry high school students at a School Board Meeting, is how MAGAs think our government should be managed.
Rome, circuses
Balint said that when Bondi accused her of being anti-Semitic, it was her breaking point. She described Bondi’s attack as “weaponizing anti-Semitism” and said it echoed tactics her own family had faced in 20th century Europe. “She is using the fascist authoritarian playbook in the same way that my family was on the receiving end of those same tactics and strategies during the Nazi era,” Balint said, adding that she walked out because her time had expired but returned to the room afterward.“
I came back in for the survivors, and I stayed to the very end because they deserve that," Balint said.
Does this lawmaker pretend to give Israel the benefit of the doubt though? I already know the answer is yes, they all do, even my man Bernie to a degree. He knows better too.
What the fuck did you expect? To support fascism overseas and not have our own politicians adopt those tactics here at home? Seeing as we all fucking told you this was going to happen, for decades, this is her fault as much as it is any. We knew what the republicans were, and still refused to do what was needed to stop them, in a thousand ways, because those lawmakers we trust to lead us are beholden to powerful and monied interests, not to safeguarding the Republic.
The bitch Blondi should be in prison. Period.
Total piece of shit completely uninterested in doing her job, but is all about conducting lawfare on every one of Donvict’s enemies instead. Turns out all their hand-wringing about “lawfare” was projection.
It’s always projection with these assholes.
She most likely will face prosecution if the administration collapses, and even if it doesn’t. They’ve taken such a severe beating that even if they secure some measure of power after November and onward, they will need scapegoats and people to point at as they run big media spectacle kangaroo courts.
I will take anything at this point, but I am particularly smirkful at the idea of Pammy here being railroaded in a mock trial, the justice of her facing her own brand of injustice and lies as her party stabs her in the back would be amazing
She should be disbarred, I’m serious contact https://www.americanbar.org/ now.
The bar associations have shown themselves to be unwilling and unable to police politically connected republicans. They couldn’t even make much stick for 2020 and the filing of bad faith lawsuits to overthrow the republic in all but name, and half the consequences were overturned on appeal. All too little too late to begin with.
The bar associations moreover are the epitomy of an Old Boy’s Club. They are the aristocracy, they cover for each other, and mercilessly persecute whatever out groups the old boys have decreed. The disfavored poor being the main one. Previously though it was bad faith child abuse/devil worship allegations, in the 80s and 90s, the Satanic Panic, no one saw any disbarrment from that either, despite knowingly sending innocent people to prison, suppressing evidence, manufacturing evidence, pushing theories of the case that were physically impossible and irrefutably contradicted by the facts, and reality. Then fighting to keep the convicted in prison, suppressing exculpatory evidence, and even misfiling case information to prevent do gooder lawyer groups from getting their hands on the case information to get the people freed (Bakersfield Ca at a minimum, the heart of darkness.)
This was a disgusting thing, and they spread it to all corners of the country, knowingly framing people for the most horrendous abuses, come to find out at the behest of the old boy’s club that was actually doing this stuff with Epstein. It truly is all projection. But the bar was unwilling to even damage a reputation, let alone disbarr any of these prosecutors and other lawyers involved for this most heinous of ethical perversions. They showed themselves unwilling and unable to police the 2020 election deniers, bringing cases too late, too little of charges and of punishments, an overturning of half of those already paltry punishments, and a lack of even condemnations. The old boys don’t turn on each other, not if they want to remain in the club.
It’s a big club, and we aren’t in it. Democracy isn’t well in it anymore either, the election deniers are kicking it out.
What are you talking about? Leticia James successfully prosecuted Trump on 34 felony counts. Another civil trial found him liable for RAPE, and fined him nearly $100 million. Jack Smith’s Insurrection and Stolen Documents cases were proceeding along through various motions, and would have gone to trial, and still will after Trump is out.
Two of his hand-picked legal babes, chosen only because they’d go to court when every other lawyer refused, and because they were super-hot, have been ORDERED to resign or face prison, because they are legally ineligible to hold those positions, but were too ignorant to even know that.
In addition, grand juries are refusing to go along with retaliatory indictments, which is nearly unheard of, and judges have been tossing all of Trump’s weaponization trials. Others are proceeding through the courts, but nearly every judge has been hostile to the DoJ lawyers.
And even SCOTUS hasn’t been the rubber stamp they expected.
So tell me again how the courts are letting him get away with EVERYTHING.
There wasn’t even any charges filed until about a year before the next presidential election as I recall. But we are talking about the bar, which is different than criminal or civil cases filed. This was a failure both, especially, of prosecutors at state and especially federal level; and a failure of the Barr associations in policing their members though since you bring up for the former…
The king of delay tactics, involved in over 10k lawsuits where he has abused others in all of them, was always going to delay these cases, a year out is no where near enough time. 2021 is when cases had to be filed, and this was all done in plain sight, there was nothing to investigate, January 2021 charges should have been filed, at least interem ones, and you can add or ammend the charges later.
Anyone telling you otherwise is playing you, passing the buck for prosecutors that failed in their most basic, and important, duties, preventing the Republic from being killed, elections rigged, and one party put in permanent position, to otherwise abuse the tenants of the constitution and laws of the united states.
Likewise as I said, the Barr failed, too little too late, and higher ups at the barrs cancelled half of the already too little too late punishments, as it was clear the traitors were going to win at that point, and it was clear they were going to win because they didn’t enforce the law on the betrayal of the country in 2021.
I shouldn’t have to argue this, it’s evident, it’s right in front of us, there is no reasonable explanation for the failure of the Old Boys to save the Republic. The blame starts at the leader of the opposition party, Biden, and trickles down from there.
The ABA doesn’t oversee an attorney’s license. That is done in the state that the person got their license in (kinda like driving licenses). The ABA is merely an advisory bar that is comprised of a collective of states that serve as an advisory council to the states (think an advisory UN of sorts).
You’d want to contact the Florida bar where she’s licensed, not that place. But the Florida bar won’t do jack about complaints against her.
Yes, exactly. This is her license in Florida, but honestly it’s harder to find a more corrupt bunch of attorneys in the US. They do take legal fuckery to the next level down there (as Epstein’s own multiple sweetheart deals proved).
You see her behavior here, yet she was AG of the state from 2011 to 2019. Look at her wiki and it’s clear she’s done whatever she wanted for quite some time, however questionable the ethics, and the FL Bar hasn’t disciplined her yet.
I’m sure there are some honest lawyers doing the best they can for their clients down there and I don’t want to denigrate them, but the higher up you go the more corrupt they are. Don’t hold your breath waiting for the elites of the FL Bar to smack her hand for being exactly like they are.
Run the entire Florida Bar and palm beach police department through a search of the Epstein files. I bet the highest ranking members of both are in there more than theh should be.
Bondi is throwing stones in glass houses when she accuses anyone of being shady about the epstein files. What an idiot.
None of her “testimony” was meant for anything but carefully edited clips to be farmed and replayed by millions of non-Americans on twitter to make a few dollars at the end of the month.
This is just the same rotting attention-economy that made us hate the internet and killed youtube and twitch but being applied to executive and legislative politics. They are not interacting with or engaging with the reality they’re being slapped with, they’re coasting on media frenzy and their waning political capital in the form of 28% of the population who are armed, illiterate and angry enough to march anywhere they’re directed.
Counter-attack, counter accuse. They are all just following the lead of the president, and his party before him, he just took it to an extreme level. It doesn’t matter what the facts are. The only way to deal with these people is to ignore their bad faith attacks and counter-attack them. Going on the defensive is what they are used to, and is psychologically works on the low information voters that trust the worst people, a large group.
When you defend against an attack, a charge, it lend credibility to it as confirmed by multiple studies over the decades. As such the manipulators learn when attacked to counter-attack, counter-accuse. The more it makes you go on the defensive the better it works, to obscure the issue with slander and emotional arguments.
Instead, stick with your attack, or answer with your own attack, such as calling out what they are doing and why. But that is considered bad form with our democrats, still playing politics under the 1990 model of Bill Clinton and playing for the monied interests, rejecting populism and reform as the great danger, not the other party.
The Republicans haven’t been respecting that old decorum for decades, but this president brought it to a new extreme level, and we continue to afford them courtesies that aren’t returned that allows them to walk all over us. That is what the donors want of course, but the donors don’t even know what is in their own best interests. Popular reform is the only way to get out from under fascists fixing elections to permanently affix themselves in power, an end that kills the Republic in all but name, the Reason for Being of our politicians and members of all three branches of government to stop, to prevent.
Throwing the game to allow it, is a betrayal of their oaths itself. Ignorance is no excuse, and they aren’t ignorant, they know they aren’t playing real politik. We need to get some new leaders now, or else. The very least these politicians we are stuck with can do, is not afford courtesies to the republicans in questioning them that allows them to derail any oversight with counter attacks. Stay on message, when they distract with slander, call them on it, and their motivations, undermining the republic, a betrayal, say that. It’s true, and it’s the only way Bondi and her ilk will learn to respect and fear congressional oversight.
Just fucking wow
Did she actually mean “antigenocide”?
No she meant exactly what she said. Israel, and their supporters, have been pushing the narrative for over a year now that any negative comments about anything the country does are anti-Semetic. Doesn’t matter how general, or specific the comment, if it is against what Israel is doing it is now anti-Semetic. They are trying to change the definition in the public mind.
And as a result of removing the differentiation between the people and the Country, making every Jewish person around the world a target to those seeking violence against the Israeli government for the genocide. Which just helps further their persecution complex, strengthening their genocidal process.
Israel, and their supporters, have been pushing the narrative for over a year now that any negative comments about anything the country does are anti-Semetic.
LOL, more like decades that they’ve been pushing that shit.
Used to be that worked when you had only 3 OTA networks and 3 cable networks and a handful of major newspapers that did all the gate-keeping on narratives relating to Israel.
They started to have a real problem once the rise of peer-to-peer communication reared its head. This is why they keep wanting to try to put the toothpaste back in the tube and put all the major platforms under the thumb of billionaires that will be compliant to the bullshit Israel narrative. When it comes to broadcast media, they could have an easier time than ever controlling that narrative.

I thought why would a mother try to protect pedophiles. That’s when i found this article. Looks like she’s been around and passed on by multiple men. Doesn’t have a stable relationship, no kids so now I know why. Bitch got some serious mental issues.
Easy partner, no kids and 3 relationships since 1997 isn’t a red flag.
