'Staggering Incompetence': Raskin Tears Into Pam Bondi Right In Her Stupid Face

On Wednesday morning, Maryland Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin tore into Attorney General Pam Bondi, who was scheduled to appear before the House Judiciary Committee to discuss Department of Justice oversight. This testimony comes several weeks following the Trump administration's release of its last batch of documents concerning Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender.

Raskin isn't playing around, after all, when he searched Donald J. Trump's name in the unredacted Epstein files the previous day, the president's name came up "more than a million times." Bondi has been shielding the president from the biggest cover-up in American history.

'You're not showing a lot of interest in the victims, Madam Attorney General, whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal governmental violence against citizens in Minneapolis," Raskin said. "As Attorney General, you're siding with the perpetrators, and you're ignoring the victims."

"That will be your legacy unless you act quickly to change course," he continued. "You're running a massive Epstein cover-up right out of the Department of Justice."

Tom Homan Warned Trump To Keep Border Operations Targeted

During an interview for an upcoming book last year, Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, said Trump's approach to immigration should be a targeted enforcement operation, which would be the only way to keep the faith of the American people on his side.

NBC News reports that Homan made these comments for the upcoming book, “Undue Process: The Inside Story of Trump’s Mass Deportation Program.”

“I think the vast majority of the American people think criminal illegal aliens need to leave. And if we stick to that prioritization, I think we keep the faith of the American people. “I think the vast majority of the American people think criminal illegal aliens need to leave. And if we stick to that prioritization, I think we keep the faith of the American people,” Homan said.

This is a far cry from reality.

Shadow president Stephen Miller's thirst for mass deportations has turned this country upside down, while ICE agents wearing masks have performed controversial abductions, murders, and caused massive chaos. These violent actions have destroyed any notion that the American public could be behind Trump and his deportation plans. The latest polls reflect the horror Americans feel about ICE's operations.

Ghislane Maxwell Gives James Comer The Middle Finger

Jeffrey Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell invoked her Fifth Amendment right to refuse to answer all questions put to her by the House Oversight Committee during a virtual deposition earlier today.

Chairman James Comer, who spent the entirety of his chairmanship investigating Hunter Biden and Joe Biden over nonsense, told the press the convicted sex offender refused to answer even one question unless she received clemency from Donald Trump.

Wrong way Comer claimed he wants to get to the truth about Epstein, but the American public knows that's a lie.

COMER: As expected, Elaine Maxwell took the fifth and refused to answer any questions.

This is obviously very disappointing. We had many questions to ask about the crimes she and Epstein committed, as well as questions about potential co-conspirators. We sincerely want to get to the truth of the American people and justice for the survivors.

If Comer wanted to get to the truth, he would have released all the Epstein files and removed most redactions, but alas, he did not.

Rep. Comer is still champing at the bit to question Hillary and Bill Clinton, but the US public wants to see Trump answer questions under oath since his name appeared in the Epstein Files thousands of times.

Why isn't Trump scheduled to testify? Right, Comer said, Trump commented enough to the press about Epstein, so there is no need.

Maxwell's refusal to name names makes Deputy AG Todd Blanche look even worse than he did before.
