Pam Bondi Crashes Out During Her Congressional Hearing · Beyond The Horizon

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. Yesterday Pam Bondi appeared before Congress to discuss
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the Epstein files and where things are currently at as
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: far as the DOJ goes. And to say that it
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: devolved into a shitshow is an understatement. Bondi showed up
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: to that hearing not looking to answer questions, not looking
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: to set things right, but looking for confrontation. And quite frankly,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: she embarrassed herself. She embarrassed the administration, and she embarrassed
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the whole country. She is highly unqualified for the position
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: she's in. And not only that, but she perjured herself
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: multiple times. And I promise you, if it was you
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: to perjure yourself, Pam Bondi and this rogue DOJ would
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: have your ass in handcuffs. Because we all know, there's
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: a set of rules for them, and a whole ass
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: different set of rules for the rest of us. This
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: article was published by NBC News. Headline, Pam Bondi hearing
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: devolves into shouting matches with Democrats over Epstein and DOJ prosecutions.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: This article was authored by Ryan J. Riley. Attorney General
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Pam Bondi clashed with lawmakers during a contentious House Judiciary
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Committee hearing on Wednesday with the Justice Department's handling of
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: its Jeffrey Epstein records and its attempt to prosecute critics
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: of President Donald Trump causing the most tension. Look, I
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: heard that they had a bunch of evidence of voter fraud.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I heard that people were going to prison. I heard
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: that Fauci was going to jail. I heard we were
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: draining the swamp. How's that shit working out for you?
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Bondi and her agency faced increased pressure from the White
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: House to deliver victories on Trump's agenda and frustration, including
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: from Trump himself, at what they perceive to be the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: slow progress and a number of setbacks In the courts.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: And of course the reasoning is. Because the courts are
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: all corrupt. I'm sure it has nothing to do with
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the fact. That the cases you're bringing. Don't have any merit.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: And don't stand up. When they face scrutiny. I'm sure
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: that has nothing to do with it. At times Bondi's performance.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: At the roughly four and a half hour long hearing.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Seemed targeted specifically for Trump. She appeared to be reading.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Off written talking points. On occasion. And saying Trump's praises.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Calling him the greatest president. in American history. Yeah, I mean,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: this is the greatest time in the history of our country.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Nothing says greatness like covering up for a human trafficker
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and worldwide money launderer. No big deal. At least the
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: stock market's raging. Wednesday's hearing devolved into a series of
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: shouting matches as Democrats peppered Bondi with questions about Epstein
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: and survivors of his abuse, many of whom attended the proceedings. Well,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say many. a handful, and those are just
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the women that are out in front and willing to
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: be vocal. You have a lot of people out here
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: that have a lot of nerve. We're literally talking about
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: over a thousand women, and that's coming from Trump's own DOJ.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: So how could you sit here and say that all
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: of their experiences were the same? That if you think
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: one of them's a liar, they're all liars. It is
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: just absurd. But people are willing to go to great
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: lengths to protect their team. And all the people out
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: there that say, well, why didn't Biden release this information? Well,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: here's the cold hard truth about that. Biden and his team,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: they weren't ready to jettison the Clintons. They weren't ready
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: to expose the people that were paying the bills when
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: it comes to the Democratic Party. However, this new age
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: of Democratic leadership, the, you know, Democratic Socialists, they're willing
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: to burn the Clintons. They're willing to toss the Clintons
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: over the side of the ship if that means they
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: can get their claws on Trump. So the reason that
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Biden didn't pursue this is because it was mutually assured
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: destruction and his people understood that. So that definitely does
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: make him culpable, 100%. And that's what I've said to
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: you from the beginning of all of this. Trump is
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: a symptom. The real disease is the system that has
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: allowed this to occur. And until we confront that, forget it.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: It's going to continue to happen. The DOJ needs to
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: do its job. Give us the rest of the files
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: and start the investigations, said one survivor, Danny Bensky. Sky Roberts,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the brother of Virginia, explicitly took aim at Bondi, calling
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: her handling of the issue nothing short of a failure.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Do your job, Pam, Roberts said. I mean, I can't
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: imagine if it was my sister. I'd be going crazy.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Forget it. I would have disrupted that hearing yesterday. I
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: would have stood my dumb ass up right in that
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: hearing and told Pam Bondi where to shove it. Especially
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: with the attitude that she had yesterday. I mean, it
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: is just unbelievable the way she conducted herself. One of
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the biggest embarrassments I've ever seen. And let's keep in
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: mind the seriousness of the issue that we're dealing with.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: We're not talking about, you know, a basic policy fight.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Which would still be disgusting. But this is on a
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: whole ass other level. You had these survivors there at
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: this hearing. And Pam Bondi wouldn't even recognize them. She
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: hasn't met with any of them. She hasn't called them
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: to come to her office to sit down with her
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: and explain what happened, give her details, nothing. And of course,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: this has been the biggest problem throughout the whole thing.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: The fact that nobody has ever engaged in a real investigation.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: So for the dumbasses out there that keep saying, oh, well,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: where's the evidence of this one or that one, bro?
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: There was never a real investigation into these people. That's
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: what I'm calling for right now. Because I promise you,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: there is enough circumstantial evidence to build a case. It's
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: only people that don't know how this shit works that
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: act like there's no evidence. Every single case starts with
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: circumstantial evidence. That's the foundation that everything's built on. And
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: then from there, you build the house up. And if
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: you think there's no circumstantial evidence here then you're either
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: incapable of processing what you're seeing, or you're willfully being
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: ignorant for whatever sort of political motives you might have.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: And it never fails. The biggest contrarians when it comes
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: to this story are people that really have no idea
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: what they're talking about. This is not the story that
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: you can pick it up in the middle and become
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: some kind of expert. You have to put in the legwork.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: There's a lot to understand. There's a lot of people
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: to know. There's a lot of connections to make. And
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: the truth is, the vast majority of people haven't been
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: following the story long enough to make those connections. And
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: that's why anyone who's serious about this understands that it's
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: not just the sexual abuse. It's all the other things
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: that went along with it, mainly the financial crimes. And
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: a lot of those financial crimes have not seen the
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: end of their statute of limitations. So there's a ton
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: of financial crimes that have occurred that can and should
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: be investigated. And you notice they don't talk about that
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: part of the story, right? What do they do? They
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: come out and they try and demean the survivors, try
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: and act like they're liars, try and act like none
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: of this ever happened. It's all made up. And that's
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: because that's the tried and true narrative. Go after the survivors,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: try and destroy their credibility and try and shame them
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: into not coming forward. And that's been a very effective
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: strategy for these people for a very long time. But
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: you know what they can't contend with? What they can
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: contend with is the money trail and the paper trail
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: that comes with the financial crimes. And that's why those
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: need to be pursued and people need to be held accountable.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: And then, once you have those people in there for
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the financial crimes, then you slap them with other charges
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: if there's evidence to do so. I mean, this is
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: not rocket science. Representative Pramila Jayapal asked the women to
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: stand up before she challenged Bondi to turn to them
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: and apologize. for the Justice Department's failure to fully redact
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: their names when the files were made public. They made
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: sure to have Les Wexner's name redacted though, right? Make
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: sure you have your buddy's name. I mean, no big
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: deal that Les Wexner donated $ 250, 000 to the GOP Governor's Conference.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Sure they had no problem taking his money, huh? It's
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: all good. No big deal. Just another co-conspirator of Jeffrey Epstein. Hey,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: you got a few bucks. Are these people for real?
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Like the whole entire thing is so corrupt and rotten
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: from the top down that I truly don't know if
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: there's any salvaging it. Like we're in a real crazy spot.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: And I don't say that lightly. There is no trust
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: in the institutions. Obviously Pam Bondi is not interested in
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: bridging the gap and fixing the issues. Instead she's making
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: everything worse. And that's going to have long term ramifications.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Because coming into this people already didn't trust the DOJ.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: But now, with all of this being revealed, with all
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: of Pam Bondi's antics, with the antics of Todd Blanche,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: how can anyone have faith that the DOJ gives a
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: shit about what Jeffrey Epstein was up to? Bondi declined
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: and later asked Democrats whether they apologized to President Trump.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: All of you who participated in those impeachment hearings against
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump, you should be apologizing to Trump for their
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: involvement in past impeachment efforts. Imagine the call. The survivors
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: are standing there. You refuse to stand up and say
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: a word to them. But you demand an apology for
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: President Trump. Does this lady have CTE? I mean, did
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: she fall and hit her head? on the way to
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: this deposition? I mean, that would be the only excuse
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: for her behavior if she had some kind of brain issue.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Because besides that, this is just a straight up foul
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: ass vile woman. And not only that, I believe she
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: perjured herself multiple times. So I think there needs to
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: be repercussions for Pam Bondi and I think that's an understatement.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Will there be? Probably not. But there should be. Bondi
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: repeatedly accused Democrats of theatrics and said she would not
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: get in the gutter with these people, though she repeatedly
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: lobbed personal attacks at Democratic lawmakers. She called Representative Jamie
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Raskin of Maryland the top Democrat on the committee, a
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: washed-up lawyer, and accused Representative Hank Johnson of Georgia, who
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: has been in Congress for two decades, of lacking experience. Well,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: I don't think she's wrong about Jamie Raskin. Not exactly
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: what I would call a great lawyer. But it's not
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: the time nor the place. Have some decorum. Have some
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: pride in yourself. Have some pride in the country. But instead,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: everything has to devolve into a reality type of shitshow.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: And I'm fucking sick of it. I'm really tired of it.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: And look, I know people don't want to hear it,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: but there are a lot of theatrics from the Democrats
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: as well. Enough of the grandstandings. Enough of the bullshit.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Enough of the talking. If you haven't been paying attention,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: the American people demand action. Thank you for the insult,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Representative Mary Gay Scanlon said after Bondi said she didn't
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: get anything regarding public safety. The insults also extended to
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: a Republican who questioned Bondi about the Justice Department's handling
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: of redactions in the Epstein files. Representative Thomas Massey of Kentucky,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: who co-authored the bill, compelling the Justice Department to release
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: the records, accuse the Department of over-redacting information in some cases,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: while accidentally releasing survivor information in others. Well, I don't
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: even think it was an accident. I think it was
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: done on purpose. Willfully. In order to intimidate the survivors.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Look at the narrative that's come out. Oh, they're culpable.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: They're human traffickers too. Imagine? Imagine running that fucking narrative?
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: What kind of ghoul do you have to be? This
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: guy has Trump derangement syndrome, Bondi said of Massey, who
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: has criticized the Justice Department's handling of the files. You're
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: a failed politician. Trump has endorsed Massey's primary opponent in
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: this year's midterm elections. Just to be clear, Massey won
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: his district last election, getting like 99% of the vote.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: So they're bringing this guy Ed Galleran in to try
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: and challenge Massey, and it's not going to work out
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: for them and Trump. the way they think it's going
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: to work out. Massey is going to absolutely smash Gallerin
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: in the election. Though Republicans at the hearing largely focused
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: their questions on immigration and crime, Representative Chip Roy of
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Texas pressed Bondi about the fact that some Epstein survivors'
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: names were not redacted. She blamed the omissions on the
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Justice Department's lawyers rushing to get the records before the
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: December 19th deadline set out by the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Only a small fraction were released on the deadline, with
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: the majority of files released this month. We did the
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: best we could, she said. Well, I'm going to tell
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: that to the IRS in April. Let's see how it
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: works out. Look, guys, I did my best, you know.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I didn't have enough time to get my shit together.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Sorry about that. We're good though, right? No punishment. Everything's cool.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: How do you think that's going to work out for me?
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: We didn't have enough time. Roy also asked whether anyone
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: else would be charged in connection with Epstein. Bondi said
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: there were pending investigations, though it wasn't clear what or
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: who she was referring to. Last year, Bondi's office quickly
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: acquiesced when Trump used his social media platform to call
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: on the Justice Department to investigate Democrats over their affiliations
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: with Epstein. Wednesday's hearing took place hours after NBC News
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: reported that a federal grand jury investigation had rejected the
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Trump administration's attempt to indict Democratic lawmakers over social media
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: video that urged members of the military and intelligence communities
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: to follow their oaths and refuse to obey illegal orders.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Just another failure by Bondi. Yeah, but we're getting all
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: those arrests. Don't worry. The storm's coming. Trust the plan.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Where we go one, we go all. Bunch of morons.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Bondi accused those she deemed liberal activist judges of taking
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: part in coordinated judicial opposition to the Trump administration. Oh,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: it's always everybody's lined up against you. It's never that
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: you're weak on facts. It's never that you're weak on evidence.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: It's always that the system is lined up against you.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Please shut up. I think everybody's getting tired of the
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: whole victimhood mentality by the Trump administration. And yo, they
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: have all three chambers. And what exactly have they codified?
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: What exactly have they pushed through? And I'm not talking
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: about lame-ass executive orders that are going to be rescinded
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: on day one of the next presidency. I'm talking about
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: actual codified law. Oh, that's right. Not very much. So
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: you have all three chambers and you can't get shit done,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: but it's the other side's fault? Here's an idea. Take
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: a good, hard look in the mirror. Weaponization has ended.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Bondi declared, after she told the committee's chairman, Representative Jim,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Jim Shorts Jordan of Ohio, that she had received his
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: criminal referral, asking for former CIA director, John Brennan, to
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: be prosecuted. And just to be clear, John Brennan is
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: a smarmy son of a bitch. And if they have
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: the evidence, I think they should prosecute him. Because I
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: said it then and I'll keep saying it. There was
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: a lot of abuses of that FISA court that should
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: not have occurred. And there's a lot of people that
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: did things that were illegal, if we're being real. So yeah,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with somebody like Brennan getting
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: called up onto the carpet. But if you don't have
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: the evidence, you don't have the evidence. And according to
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: this court, you do not have the evidence. Representative Joe
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Neguse questioned Bondi about the Justice Department's continued employment of
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Jared Wise. A January 6th defendant caught on video yelling
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: kill him at officers protecting the Capitol on January 6th.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Sounds like a hell of a guy, huh? Yeah, let's
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: just kill him. Wise is playing a key role in
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: the weaponization working group, which is expected to release a
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: report focused on the Trump administration's claim of Biden-era weaponization. See,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: here's the problem. Everything is so politicized, no matter what
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: the report says, the other side's not going to believe it.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: And the same goes for the Trump administration. We have
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: a gigantic, gigantic problem when it comes to credibility. And
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: considering the way both sides are behaving, I don't see
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: that being changed anytime soon. I believe he was pardoned
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: by President Trump. Bondi responded shortly afterward while she was
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: being questioned by a different member. Bondi pivoted back and
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: accused him of not taking crime in his district seriously.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Raskin said Bondi had turned the People's Department of Justice
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: into Trump's instrument of revenge. Trump orders prosecutions like pizza,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: and you deliver every time he tells you to go
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: after James Comey, Letitia James, Lisa Cook, and Jerome Powell,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: the head of the Federal Reserve Board and members of Congress,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Raskin said. A White House aide told NBC News that
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Trump has complained about Bondi to aides and allies in
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: recent weeks. describing her as weak and insufficiently aggressive in
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: pursuing cases against his perceived opponents. Responding to reports that
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: first emerged in the Wall Street Journal, the White House
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: issued a statement from Trump saying Bondi was doing an
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: excellent job and passed along statements praising Bondi from Vice
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: President J.D. Vance, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt. Oh, well, translation,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: the knives are out. She's in big trouble. That's what
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: that means. And she should be. If she had one
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: moral bone in her body, she would resign. She's not
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: going to, though. Representative Bondi and Eric Swalwell, a prominent
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Trump critic, did reach a moment of agreement after Swalwell
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: raised concerns about his family's safety. Swalwell, who has repeatedly
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: spoken about his received death threats, told NBC News last
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: year that the Justice Department hadn't brought charges against people
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: who threatened him, and said it had limited his kids
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: being in the front yard of their home because of
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: the threats. Swalwell asked Bondi on Wednesday why the Justice
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Department hadn't brought charges against anyone. None of you should
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: be threatened ever, Bondi said, addressing all the lawmakers present.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: None of your children should be threatened. None of your
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: families should be threatened. She couldn't muster that up for
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: the survivors, though. You can't turn around and say to them, hey, look,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry what happened to you. We're going to try
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: and pursue justice wherever we can. Of course she couldn't
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: say that. Because she doesn't care. That's really what it
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: comes down to. And this comes right from the top.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: When your boss is calling this a hoax, when your
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: boss is saying move on, do you really think that
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Pam Bondi is going to go against the grain? This
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: is one of the most go-along-to-get-along women maybe in history.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: You think she has the courage to stand up to Trump?
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: We all know the answer to that. And we all
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: know that she's just going to continue to do whatever
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: his bidding is. But there's no doubt that the mask
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: was ripped off yesterday. And there's no doubt that what
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: was revealed was the face of an administration that cares
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: more about protecting the abusers than the abused. All of
• 20:10
