That's the way to do it!

Edited to add video that's now available





Maybe the best part -
Bondi: "I'm the attorney general!!"
Balint: "My apologies, I couldn't tell."

8. Our justice system isn't two-tiered

It is multi-tiered. A local official is proffered more "justice" than a poor man from the other side of the tracks. Likewise, even more "justice" is afforded by a statewide or regionally powerful defendant than is available to the mayor or county commissioner. The same relationship follows on the national and international levels.

Elon Musk's access to "justice" is far more extensive and solid than what is available to the mayor of Helena, Montana.

I was so impressed. I watched all day and she stood out as someone who didn't let Bondi get away with anything, not a damned thing.

Tough, firm, knowledgeable. This is what we need.

at 3:44, Rep Becca Balint says:
Was the President aware of Secretary Lutnick's ties to Epstein when he chose him to lead (and she starts to say Department of Corruption and then says Department of Commerce)

That is one powerful woman. When they scream over you, scream louder - and she did. The absolute gall of Pam Bondi lecturing a Jewish member of Congress about antisemitism.
