So the fear and the concern we have is that the incoming president will use that loaded weapon, that immunity to commit crimes through the Department of Justice and for that reason, It is all the more important that we have an attorney general who has the independence, the strength, the intestinal fortitude to say no to the president when it is necessary.

So my first set of questions has to do whether you have the independence to say no when you must say no.

I actually thought her responses would have been great if she had been nominated to the Supreme Court because she talked like, I refuse to answer hypotheticals. I don't want to play in these gray areas that might come up in the future. Those are standard responses in a Supreme Court confirmation. A little surprising to hear it in this context where it's not necessarily hypothetical.

It is the question. The DOJ is part of the executive branch, but it's also unusual because it stands apart from the executive. It's not beholden to the president, or at least it's not supposed to be. Its client is the United States, not the president of the United States. And that was basically the thrust of this question. I think there was also an undercurrent here about whether or not

Pam Bondi could not only stand up to Donald Trump, but also stand up to the other individuals appointed in the DOJ who are Trump loyalists. And, you know, someone whose name came up, even though this was not his confirmation hearing, was Kash Patel, and his name came up repeatedly.

Would she follow Kash Patel's enemies list and double down on prosecutions against individuals who are quote unquote enemies of Donald Trump? And, you know, she was really kind of evasive about some of those questions on you. She said she was looking forward to hearing more about QAnon, like she'd never heard of that.
