Pam Bondi this week appeared before Congress.
Her performance was shameful.
Why wasn't she held in contempt of Congress?
I believe that there's a little cell in the basement for just such occasions.
You have to view this in terms of performing for audiences, not any sort of legitimate congressional oversight.
#Bondi gave the administration's supporters exactly the performance they wanted to see. They want to see a wrestling match, so this administration gives it to them.
Meanwhile, Democrats get to score political points by pretending to be in opposition when really they aren't doing substantial things to oppose the administration. So they scored as well.
Pretty much all sides involved used this exchange for their own benefit, so why would they hold her in contempt? Everyone did exactly what they wanted to do to signal to their constituents. All of the politicians came out ahead.
Our fault for electing these jerks and continuing to reelect them.
