On Wednesday the House Oversight Committee announced that “the Department of Justice has stated Pam Bondi will not appear on April 14 for a deposition since she is no longer Attorney General and was subpoenaed in her capacity as Attorney General. The Committee will contact Pam Bondi’s personal counsel to discuss next steps regarding scheduling her deposition,” which sure sounds like Team Comer’s less than eager to fight her in court to compel her to show up.
It also ignores the fact that the subpoena did not literally say “in her capacity.” Yes, it addressed her as “The Honorable Pamela J Bondi, Attorney General, US Department of Justice,” but she sure as shit is not and never was “honorable” so that was a formality too. Nor did the DOJ offer now-Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to sub in for Bondi since he’s in “capacity” now.
All this of course underlying the fact that they’re trying to avoid sharing what they know about the most horrific sex trafficking crime in recent if not all of US history. That’s really where we’re at.
