Attorney general nominee Pam Bondi reminded Democratic California Sen. Adam Schiff that he had been “censured” by Congress for making allegedly “reckless” comments she said were “just like” the ones he made during her Wednesday confirmation hearing.
Schiff questioned the nominee on whether she will have the independent ability to reject President-elect Donald Trump’s potential unlawful orders and to give him good advice that may differ from the president-elect’s viewpoints. As their exchange grew increasingly more hostile, Bondi pointed to Schiff previously being censured in June 2023 over his conduct during the investigation into the now-debunked claims that Trump colluded with Russia in 2016.
“So will it be your advice to the president, ‘Mr. President, I know you want to issue hundreds of pardons on day one.’ Will it be your advice to the president, ‘No, Mr. President, I need to go over them on a case-by-case basis, do not issue blanket pardons, will that be your advice to the president?” Schiff asked.
“Senator, I have not looked at any of those files. If confirmed, I will look at the files for the pardons, as well as the ongoing investigations,” Bondi replied, leading Schiff to express doubt that she will review hundreds of cases on her first day.
“Hey, can I answer the question? I would have plenty of staff. You said ‘of course you won’t,’” Bondi replied. “Listen, I’m not gonna mislead this body nor you … you were censured by Congress senator for comments just like this that are so reckless.”

Bondi made fools of the Democrats and had no problem calling out Schiff. All of Trumps cabinet appointees are wiping the floor with the Democrats and their ridiculous questioning.
“ He lied about Russia, Russia, Russia and is not above the law.”
Unfortunately, the basic law in this country is the US Constitution. In it congressman and senators are protected by the speech and debate clause from prosecution for anything they say or do inside the Capitol. Schiff knows the law well and uses it. He is such a slimy liar.
Fifty bucks says he is on that list of congressmen who used the ‘taxpayer slush fund’ to pay off a SA victim.
