This is a deeply awful performance

Trump is no longer "popular" and this is a topic that plays to his base. Yet Pam is unfriendly, vain, arrogant, and unable to actual answer questions.

IDK a popular president riding out a political storm can put on this type of show. But a president with guys who visited Epstein Island in his cabinet, that is mentioned a million times in the files, might want something, anything different than this.

Fox News going to have to do some heavy lifting tonight because this is a clean up on aisle five type performance.

but thought she was playing to an audience of one, even though that audience is senile and it's questionable whether it could do any good.

Maybe she's genuinely uninformed about trump's status. Wouldn't surprise me.

This ls like a bad reality show rather than a congressional hearing.

I forget what 60s song that's from, but it's sure suitable to these times.

This is no problem for a network full of lying gaslighters. They'll paint Bondi as the victim all day and night.

This woman is supposedly an attorney, who should have learned how to organize notes enough to easily answer questions. She apparently had highlighted items she thought might come up and marked them with sticky notes. I do not believe she finished one sentence without turning pages, moving back and forth and generally getting lost. I know a number of 8th graders who could wipe her off the map in a debate.

How in the Sam Hill did she even get into Law School, much less graduate?

They don't "clean up." They completely ignore reality and say the opposite of what is true.

Remember when the "spin-doctors" started with actual events or statements and reframed to put their "spin" on them? The propagandists have dispensed with anything requiring any thought. It's all just ignore the actual event and make up some alternate reality -- deny, accuse, lie, attack, lie, attack, rinse and repeat.

They will celebrate her acting like an unhinged lunatic.

THIS IS HOW YOU DEAL WITH THOSE TDS PEOPLE!

MAKING AMERICA GREAT!

Same people who went on about Hillary being shrill and Kamala's laugh.
