It was either that or the Gambinos.
It was the Gottis.
Let's jump in.
I want to talk about a few things.
I want to talk about the Bondi situation because I don't think โ
what's getting attention about the bondi situation is that harmeet dylan who's one of the top people at the doj she runs the civil rights division but she's like the number three person at the doj as an assistant attorney general and she's one of the front runners if blanche doesn't become the attorney general he's acting attorney general
for her to become the Attorney General.
Lots of people think that she's kind of quietly in the position to actually be the next Attorney General because Blanche couldn't make it through a confirmation hearing.
So a lot of people are focusing on the fact that it's now been announced that she likely will be serving as Bondi's personal attorney at this May 29th deposition of Bondi coming up.
What I think is not being paid enough attention to is
What I just said was technically inaccurate, that it's actually not a deposition, even though she was subpoenaed for a deposition, because Comer has now said it's just going to be an informal, basically transcribed interview, so you don't get sworn in under oath.
and James Comey wants it not to be videotaped.
So the MAGA Republicans, Trump, MAGA Mike Johnson, they've worked to say, Bondi does not have to testify in a deposition under oath and no video.
as the as the fact that republicans have the majority in the house still though a slim majority uh the house oversight committee is run by the republicans so they have the op they have the ability to make the call and democrats can't overrule it whether it's a deposition or a transcribed interview and comer and trump and maga mike have decided she will not testify under oath so let me be clear
Pam Bondi will never be sitting for an under oath deposition so long as Republicans control the House.
That's not happening.
What she will be doing is a transcribed interview, not under oath.
So there's no implication if she lies or doesn't answer questions because it's not a deposition.
