AG appointee Pam Bondi was asked about prosecuting corrupt DOJ lawyers .
She replied
"Let me give you a really good example of a bad lawyer within the Justice Department, a guy named Clinesmith who altered a FISA warrant..."
Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time - Yeah, don't do it.Quote:
FBI assistant council Kevin Clinesmith got probation for altering documents and emails to the FISA court that ended up allowing the FBI to illegally spy on the Trump campaign and to frame Trump and associates .
Senator Whitehouse : "It would not be appropriate for a prosecutor to start with a name and look for a crime? It's a prosecutors job to start with a crime and look for a name, correct?"BONID: "Senator, I think that is the whole problem with the weaponization that we've seen the last four years and what's been happening with Donald Trump."
Bondi went toe to toe with Adam Schiffhead .
Bondi “Senator, what I can tell you is I will never play politics. You’re trying to engage me in a gotcha,”
Bondi : "I'm not going to mislead this body, nor you. You were censured by Congress for comments like these."
Bondi "You’re so worried about Liz Cheney. Do you know what we should be worried about? The crime rate in California right now is through the roof. Your robberies are 87% higher than the national average."
