Yesterday's House Judiciary Committee hearing featured fireworks as Attorney General Pam Bondi, well-prepared and skillfully outmaneuvered House Democrats. She responded with sharp retorts, sparking some intense confrontations. 

But let’s get to Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX), who used the opportunity to obliterate the Biden Justice Department for their years-long campaign of political retribution against their rivals. It was a lightning round that took a knife to the gut of the old Biden DOJ and their corruption:

GILL: “I’ve got a series of questions for you that we can get through pretty pretty quickly, I think.” 

“Can you tell me, is it true that the Biden-Harris DOJ raided President Trump’s home?” 

BONDI: “They did.” 

GILL: “Did the Biden Harris DOJ allow Jack Smith to spy on over a dozen Republican members of congress?” 

BONDI: “Absolutely.” 

GILL: “Did the Biden-Harris DOJ seize the phone of a sitting sitting Republican Congressman?” 

BONDI: “Yes.” 

GILL: “Did the Biden-Harris DOJ and Jack Smith pay at least $20,000 to confidential human sources to provide information on President Trump?” 

BONDI: “At least.” 

GILL: “Did the Biden-Harris DOJ and FBI fail to apprehend the suspect who placed pipe bombs near the capitol ahead of January 6th?” 

BONDI: “Yes.” 

GILL: “Did the Biden-Harris DOJ target parents as domestic terrorists?” 

BONDI: “Absolutely.” 

GILL: “Did the Biden-Harris DOJ target pro-life Catholics, going so far as to interview a priest and a choir director?” 

BONDI: “Yes.”

So, for the Democrats whining about ‘Trump going after his enemies,’ if that were true, and it’s not, we don’t care. And that exchange explains why.
