Tim Miller: Pam Bondi’s Performance Was ‘for an Audience of One’

EXCERPT:

MILLER: "It felt like a very not-of-the-moment performance by Pam Bondi. You called it performance for an audience of one, I guess. that’s right, but it also kind of felt like the type of typical performance, I don’t know, from one of the hearings past about Benghazi or Hillary’s emails or something. They really were just trying to get clips for Fox News prime time. I don’t know that this issue calls for that. You know, I think that a lot — there are a lot of people, particularly in the MAGA base throughout the country, that want to know who was implicated here. And some of the testimony today obviously had some political valence to it. The one example, in addition to the clips you played, that struck me, Jerry Nadler was asking her and he said, you know, 'How many of Epstein’s co-conspirators have you indicted? How many perpetrators are you even investigating?' And her answer to that was to yell at him and say, 'This is theatrics,' she called him washed up, and I just don’t know who that plays for, because, like, that question was not a political question. That wasn’t even necessarily about Trump or the cabinet. The question was about who else did this. Like, obviously there were other men that were perpetrators here, that were committing sexual crimes against girls, and people want to know who it is, and people want to know if you’re investigating it.”
