“There was no integrity in that room today, it seems like, when it came to Epstein and Maxwell,” Teresa Helm said after Wednesday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing.
Six survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse and two members of another accuser’s family said they felt “degraded” during Wednesday’s contentious House Judiciary Committee hearing, at which Attorney General Pam Bondi refused to face them and apologize.
Several Epstein survivors and relatives were on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers grilled Bondi for over five hours about several matters, including the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein case. She was specifically questioned about why released files were heavily redacted and why several survivors’ names were not.
“There was such a lack of empathy today. There was such a lack of, honestly, humanity today,” Dani Bensky said on NBC’s “Hallie Jackson NOW.”
Was it because she started screaming about how much the DOW is up? (much less than it was projected to be under competent leadership)
This hearing was a total disaster for Bondi. There was no hiding what a monster she is, and it’s now come out that photographers captured images of her burn book which included info from illegal DOJ surveillance of members of Congress search histories of the Epstein files. Bondi is spying on Congress while they review the Epstein files, a blatant violation of the separation of powers.
I’m sorry to upend your thiughts, but the dow is going really well right now.
if you have empathy/ a conscience/ a soul–trump is not appointing you to anything
Pam Blondi the lapdog
The hearing was almost an exact repeat of what I have seen from Bondi in the recent past. Why did they think grilling her again would result in a different outcome?
The thing that kills me about this whole shitshow is this.
You have women working for an incredibly powerful, wealthy. charismatic, connected, bullying man. If she goes along with him she will be ok but if she steps out of line she will lose everything, maybe even be killed. It will be absolutely unimaginably horrific. She has no friends but the ones who are friends with this man, no support besides what this man allows. She is dependent on him for everything. She gets credible death threats from enemies. She derives power from her association with him and takes some pride in surviving the shit that has come her way.
Now. Obviously I am describing a woman being abused here. But am I describing Bondi or the Epstein victims?
Bondi doesn’t see her own abuse. And that’s the saddest part of all of this to me. She looks down on these women, thinks she’s better than them. She’s just like them. Just as used, just as disposable.
Bondi chose the situation she currently is in. Epstein’s victims did not.
Does that negate the fact that she’s being abused? I don’t disagree, but victims often stay with powerful abusers.
Do you genuinely believe Melania has always consented without duress to what Donald does?
I was talking about Pam Bondi, not Melania
