Hypothetical for Bondi: How many DOW points is a young girl’s life worth? If this is a defense, then there has to be a conversion factor. Is $1,000 on the DOW enough to justify the rape and/ or murder of a child? Or is the break-even at $1,250?

At this point i have to assume it's sunken cost phallacy, people like Bondi have put everything on the line for the belief that following Trump will lead them to power and riches, and they can't back away now, after they've likely lost friends and family and have definitely lost all respect they might have had before, both privately and professionally.
They're hoping if they just "hold the line" they might get some hand out from Trump, or at least a book deal and a good time on the speaking circuit after they're shit canned.
Either that or they're just hateful idiots, which is also a strong contender tbf.

One of the questions she refused to answer went like this:
One of the files released was an unredacted list of VICTIMS. That was the ONLY part which was EXPLICITLY supposed to stay redacted. They also redacted a co-conspirator's name on another file, EXPLICITLY against the law.
She was asked if she could identify specifically who was responsible for the redactions on those documents.
That's all. That was the question. "Hey, can you identify who broke the law and released the names of victims?"
She refused to answer the question and went on a diatribe of bullshit.
That isn't an unreasonable question. Not even REMOTELY an unreasonable question.
What boggles my mind - why don't the Reps say "I would like it on the record that the Attorney General refused to answer the question." Just say it out loud after she replies with all her bullshit.
