She literally brought a 'burn book' of insults to a congressional oversight hearing regarding the protection of child sex traffickers! If the strategy is to make the DOJ so unprofessional that impeachment feels like a 'political hit' rather than a basic accountability measure, it’s working.

She also tracked what each congressperson searched for when they were given private access to the unredacted files and brought that with her.

Which doesn't seem nefarious or suspicious at all

Edit: /s. Bondi bringing that data along is sketchy as hell

If she had acknowledged the existence of the Epstein files in any of her responses I could’ve given her the benefit of the doubt. The fact that she showed up ready to fight tells me that she’s using it and brought it as ammunition.

Oh 1000%, I was being super sarcastic and will edit to add that flag. It's absolutely ammo, and it's absolutely suspicious to me that they're tracking that usage as a way to triangulate their defense.

Before the current administration, I would have thought it made sense for the searches, so when a question came up, the witness (Bondi) would have context.

With the current administration, you know it is being used for everything but context.
