The last box is the most interesting appalling

I found that one maybe not as credible because it implied this happened very recently basedo on the "guest list"

The others are horrible enough.

I imagine someone is taping some of these blackmail conversations that Trump is certainly having and we'll learn all about them in like 30 years.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Attorney General Pam Bondi testified in a House Judiciary Committee hearing regarding her leadership of the Department of Justice. During the hearing, Bondi shared an erroneous retelling of the Department’s origins, claiming that its core mission is to “fight violent crime, to protect the American people and defend the rule of law above all else.” Bondi deflected questions about the Department’s handling of the Epstein files and its preoccupation with targeting critics of Donald Trump and his administration.

Damon Hewitt, President and Executive Director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, issued the following statement:

“The Department of Justice was established after the Civil War, in part, to respond to ongoing civil rights violations and defend the civil rights of Black people, communities of color, and other historically excluded groups, so every American can freely participate in our democracy and economy. But in her revisionist account at today’s hearing, Attorney General Pam Bondi made clear that the Department is now an arm of authoritarianism and intimidation, focused on Trump’s political agenda and protecting him and his cronies from exposure. During Bondi’s short tenure, the Department has been both weakened in terms of its infrastructure, but also weaponized against those seeking to promote equity and opportunity and those who dare to criticize the Trump Administration. We cannot allow Bondi to mislead the American people about the department’s original purpose— to ensure equal protection under the law.”

“Instead of assuring the American people that the Department of Justice is upholding its foundational tenets, today Attorney General Bondi chose to espouse pro-Trump talking points and deflect accountability for her unsatisfactory leadership. The truth is the Department of Justice has abdicated its responsibility to protect the civil rights of the American people. As a result, the nation has been left without a chief enforcer of civil rights. That is why organizations like the Lawyers’ Committee and our allies in the private bar are now left to function as ‘private attorneys general’ to do the work and vindicate the rights of people this Justice Department has abandoned.”

The expression on the face of the woman with her hand raised second from left says it all.

In ex parte proceedings initiated by the government, the government bears a heightened responsibility for disclosing authority adverse to its position. Judges aren't expected to be intimately familiar with the entire US Code. This was DOJ's fumble.
