Pam Bondi’s confirmation hearing as the nominee for U.S. Attorney General was anything but ordinary, showcasing the absurd lengths Democrats will go to scrutinize a nominee whose main crime appears to be her association with President Trump. Senator Eric Schmitt, a true conservative warrior from Missouri, laid out the sordid roster of politically motivated prosecutions undertaken by the Biden Department of Justice, zeroing in on the slapstick antics of Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg with his infamous “hush money” case and the downright ludicrous charges from Fulton County DA Fani Willis.
Facing a barrage of questions from Democrats desperate to pin the label of “weaponization” on her, Bondi navigated the hearing like a pro. They were about as subtle as a bull in a china shop, reminding everyone of their favorite pastime: using the DOJ as a political tool. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse attempted to play prosecutor himself, pressing Bondi on her statements about holding rogue prosecutors accountable. Bondi highlighted the case of ex-FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith, the celebrated poster child for political malpractice. She pointed out that when it came to justice, even a broken clock is right twice a day; occasionally, they do get around to charging the crooks in their ranks.

The Democrats fail to recognize that their incessant questioning only reveals their own hypocrisy, as if they’ve forgotten the free-for-all that characterized the last few years under Clinton and Obama. Schmitt had the foresight to remind his colleagues about the three most recent Democratic Attorneys General, all of whom made headlines not for their unyielding commitment to justice, but for their blatant political bias. Just picture it: a game of political dodgeball, only the Democrats keep throwing the ball into their own faces.
With the theatrics of the hearing heating up, Schmitt pointed out the ridiculousness of Biden’s dark speech labeling Trump supporters as threats to democracy, suggesting that the President was playing a long game of political chess while simultaneously resurrecting “zombie cases” against Trump. The review of this entire saga read like a plot twist from a B-movie thriller—Jack Smith, the protagonist turned antagonist, has shown time and again that his methods would make even the best Hollywood villain proud. And the FBI? Well, posing with documents like they’re auditioning for a role in a spy flick only adds fuel to the fire.
In a final twist, Schmitt took aim at the glaring double standards of the Biden administration, where President Biden himself wasn’t charged for keeping classified documents lying around like old magazines in the garage. The pattern of beckoning political warfare was clear as day, leading to more allegations of coordination between the White House and various district attorney offices. Schmitt summed it up accurately—if this kind of lawfare happened in any other nation, the State Department would be squawking like a parakeet trying to warn everyone about impending tyranny. But here, in good ol’ America, it just gets brushed under the rug, seemingly destined to become another chapter in the Democrats’ playbook of deception.
