Pressed about her department's curious refusal to prosecute anyone in the Epstein files discussing diddling children and trading them amongst themselves like baseball cards at a recent Congressional hearing, Attorney General Pam Bondi invoked the classic "but have you seen the stock market numbers?" paedophilia defense.
The very straightforward question posted to Attorney General Bondi: "How many of Epstein's co-conspirators have you indicted? How many perpetrators are you even investigating?"
This very basic question with a very basic answer invoked a hysterical meltdown from Bondi — possibly the most ham-fisted attempted deflection consisting of jumbled talking points in the history of sham Congressional hearings — which culminated in a total non-sequitur pivot to the impressive performance of the stock market:
"The Dow, the Dow right now is over, the Dow… is over 50,000 right now, the S&P at almost 7,000, and the NASDAQ smashing records, Americans' 401(k)s and retirement savings are booming. That's what we should be talking about. We should be talking about making Americans safe."
One, if one were inclined to waste one's time, might try explaining to Attorney General Pam Bondi, in the same manner that one would condescend to a small child, the illogic of the Attorney General appearing before the House Judiciary Committee discussing the stock market in order to avoid answering a simple law enforcement question — but she might literally be too stupid to understand.
Of course, it doesn't even matter; Bondi clearly got those talking points that she very clumsily rattled off from the Karine Jean-Pierre-esque binder her handlers, probably at the White House press shop, prepared for her and who ordered her to march out there and redirect attention to the economy and away from the elite paedophile money laundering and espionage network they knew she would be asked about.
A lot of these figures in the Trump orbit will, when backed into a corner, often put on their best impression of the kind of 2015-era scorched-earth rhetorical warfare that the president is so uniquely talented at.
The problem is that Bondi, like Kash Patel, just doesn't have the stuff; she's all thumbs.
