“Pam, you’re fired.” Those are words many Americans were hoping President Trump would utter after Attorney General Pam Bondi’s abysmal performance in front of Congress last week.
It’s easy to see why many on both sides of the aisle would be calling for Bondi’s job. In a hearing that was ostensibly about Bondi’s performance, most notably her Department of Justice’s handling of the Epstein Files, Bondi could only seem to deflect and avoid giving direct answers. Whenever a Democrat would ask a question about the handling of the files, Bondi’s response was almost always to point to a failure of that politician, rather than actually answer, or deflect and ask why Biden AG Merrick Garland was not held to similar scrutiny.
It’s also no surprise that plenty of Trump voters, myself among them, are upset with this. While Trump himself was more noncommittal on the issue of releasing the files, multiple members of his administration had previously been vocal about the importance of the Epstein issue.
