5 takeaways from Pam Bondi's fiery testimony

(CNN) Attorney General Pam Bondi’s testimony in front of the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday was some of the tensest and most combative testimony we’ve seen to date from a Trump Cabinet official.

Bondi came into the hearing with the administration and DOJ facing a series of problems, including their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, the newly reported failed indictments of six Democratic lawmakers, and the killing of two protesters by federal officers in Minneapolis last month.

I already see most of the coverage describing it as “combative,” with a nod toward the ever-popular “both sides did it” narrative. The spectacle is all that matters…pay no attention to the hundreds of abused (or worse) girls behind the curtain, the great and powerful media has spoken!
