Pam Bondi refuses to face Epstein survivors standing behind her and apologize at House hearing

Pam Bondi refuses to face Epstein survivors standing behind her and apologize at House hearing: Live updates
House Judiciary Committee's Ranking Democrat Jamie Raskin goes after Bondi on Epstein, Minnesota shootings and Trump's revenge lawsuits

-snip-
Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to turn to face the survivors and apologize for the “absolutely unacceptable” release of the Epstein files.

Jayapal asked the Epstein survivors at the hearing to raise their hand if they still have not met with Bondi’s Department of Justice — and all of the survivors present raised their hand.

The Washington Democrat then asked Bondi to turn to the survivors to apologize for “what your Department of Justice has put them through with the absolutely unacceptable release of the Epstein files and their information.”

-snip-

Bondi accused Jayapal of “doing theatrics,” and refused to turn to face the survivors and apologize.

They show their lack of experience and skills when they can't "manage" a room, the way any politician or even mid level corporate head can.

Although that has nothing to do with the job as AG...although I might add we have a similar person here in Texas...Ken Paxton. America and Texans cry in agony.

WHAT A MOMENT!!! TO EVERY SURVIVOR, WE BELIEVE YOU, WE SEE YOU, WE STAND WITH YOU. I'M SORRY THAT OUR DOJ HAS FAILED YOU.

REP. JAYAPAL: "To the survivors in the room, if you're willing, please stand, and if you're willing, please raise your hands if you have still not been able to meet with this Department of Justice."

Attorney General Will you turn to them now and apologize for what your Department of Justice has put them through with the absolutely unacceptable release of the Epstein files and their information?

BONDI: Congresswoman, you said before.... umm Merrick Garland sat in this chair twice...

REP. JAYAPAL: Will you turn to the survivors? This is not about anybody that came before you; it's about you taking responsibility for your Department of Justice and the harm it has done to the survivors who are standing right behind you and are waiting for you to turn to them and apologize for what your Department of Justice has done.

What a miscarriage of Justice.

I wonder if the maga leader has offered to pay her after she is finished being in office.

Hey Bondi, he never pays! He is lying to you as well. You are his pawn.

... is on the sociopathic spectrum – at the DARK end. She is congenitally incapable of exhibiting even a trace of empathy for those she has harmed through her betrayal of the Oath of Office she probably took with a dismissive sneer. The woman has no honor whatsoever. May her downfall be swift and agonizingly painful.
