House Oversight Chair James Comer on Tuesday issued a subpoena to Attorney General Pam Bondi to appear for a deposition on April 14 as part of the panel’s Jeffrey Epstein probe.
Comer wrote in the subpoena cover letter that his panel is investigating the “possible mismanagement of the federal government’s investigation” into Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
“The Committee has questions regarding the Department of Justice’s handling of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and his associates and its compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act,” Comer wrote, referring to the law passed by Congress last year mandating the Justice Department’s release of the files.

Wheres the DOW at rn?

Uh oh, and the Dow is under 50,000. Now she’s in trouble.
line go down 🤷♂️
Yeah but boy howdy have you see those oil stocks
What’s that drop off in may?
Why only the women in his circle get thrown to the wolves?
At least they haven’t forgotten about the criminal cover-up that’s still ongoing, even while Operation Epstein Fury fucks over the world in the attempt to distract from it. Subpoenas like this are one of the primary ways to enforce accountability, and even though that hasn’t really happened yet (accountability) in this bullshit hurricane, we should still support their efforts.
I’m European, lacking detailed understanding. Is it correct that the only way to do anything other than a slight flex, would be to have Bondi charged with a specific offence and taken through a judicial court process?
More toddler tantrums, shouting over others, and ad hominem attacks against committee members incoming.
All true. But for the serious members of the committee she really only gets to play that once. Everyone’s expecting her binder act now, and at least some will be bringing binders of their own, fully prepared for counterattack. The majority ( R ) members will pander to her and run out her time; the minority (D) members, who knows.
She WILL at least try to turn her deposition into a circus, but not everyone is that vulnerable to shouty obstructionism. Comer is no longer able to corral his committee members, so even though he personally is committed to keeping this hearing a place where truth goes to die, the few on both sides who really want the truth to come out will likely not follow his lead.
Also, it’s not so much about what she says. I doubt anyone there expects her to do anything but obfuscate and maybe even Fifth. More likely she will invent some kind of non-existent “executive privilege” exception to having to answer anything at all. If I were an attorney (and many members of Congress are) right now I would be planning my questioning accordingly, and I’m sure the serious ones are doing exactly that.
But whatever she says in this hearing, she says under oath, which means it’s not just amoral attack slop, it’s amoral attack slop with personal legal liability attached. It won’t have any now, but her perjury will never go away, either.
