How many illegal immigrants are in Chicago? Do you know the number?
“Yes, I have the number. It’s countless.”
“Investigating your agency is part of my responsibility on this committee. You may not like the experience, but others have weathered the storm, and they answered questions in a respectful manner.”
Asked by Republican Senator Lindsey Graham how many “illegal immigrants” are in Chicago, Bondi paused to flip through paperwork before saying “countless.”
She said there has been a “1,000 percent increase” in attacks against Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.”
“Right, but what I just want to know is there, like, 10, 100,000? Does anybody know?
She said “we have made multiple arrests.”
Asked if Chicago is a “sanctuary city” with policies to prevent collaboration with federal immigration authorities, Bondi claimed “they are not cooperating” and once again criticized Senator Durbin, calling on him to “condemn” Governor J.B. Pritzker…”
She can’t even answer basic questions about her own case for invading Chicago. For the first time in American history, a rogue criminal president is using our own taxpayer-funded military against Americans in American cities, and she hasn’t even done the basic homework you’d expect of a 5th grader doing a book report.
Trump likes em blonde, skinny, dumb, and subservient
This senate hearing is painful. It’s literally zero answers, “I can’t tell YOU that” or asking a question to senators. It’s so painful
Don’t these people know that while Trump has had unreal amounts of plot armor, none of his associates do? (Epstein, the fake 2020 electors, Jenna Ellis, Cheeseboro, Giuliani, the Kraken woman, the entire cabinet that quit right before a transfer of power, and pretty much any close associate you can think of). Oh Pammy. Legal karma for you is only a matter of time.
“I’m not going to discuss anything about that with you, senator.”
Typical response from a guilty person.
So shocking. /s
I fart in your general direction
Classic political dodgeball. Ask a straightforward q, get a marathon runaround. 🙄
Clearly Bondi is running the DOJ to as a politicalized, weaponized, militarized to serve one. Without the values of the Department of Justice.
Why do have hearings with these people? To hold them accountable? To whom?
They don’t answer questions that they are asked. They openly lie about facts that can be gleaned from a simple Google search. They get defensive and fight when they are cornered, which accomplishes nothing. If there is no penalty for these MAGA twits lying and not knowing what they are supposed to know – this will never end. I’m not sure why we bother to ask them questions when they, and their leader’s, number one characteristic is to LIE and OBSCURE.
What critical piece of information are we getting from these hearings? Just looks like a waste of money during a shutdown when we ostensibly don’t have any.
At this point, I don’t feel like I have to hear anything this administration has to say. You know they will lie through their teeth or gaslight or obfuscate. Nothing of substance ever comes out of their mouth.
The FBI always gets their man. Unless they’re paid off and then the FBI lets them slide and the AG will even go to bat and defend them.
Release the Epstein files.
“As you shut down the government, and you’re sitting here, our law enforcement officers aren’t being paid — they’re out there to protect you,” she replied. “I wish you loved Chicago as much as you hate President Trump. And currently, the National Guard are on the way to Chicago. If you’re not going to protect your citizens, President Trump will.”
Talking points .. Lets see how many times she repeats the same 3-4 canned answers that have nothing to do with the question asked.
Why are we not throwing these people in jail for contempt?
How many immigrants are?

Awareness of facts is not why Bondi got this job.
Unswerving, simpering loyalty is.
And meanwhile in Chicago, federal agents tear gassed local police officers responding to a protest.
You can’t make this stuff up.

Why do we even bother with these? Like any politician would ever be truthful about ANYTHING!?
Nothing will happen because of this, shitty people will remain in power, and you will own nothing and like it.
Can’t wait for subscription toilets……
She has blonde hair !! Isn’t that enough !!
She doesn’t answer the simplest questions on anything. Why is this a surprise? She’s has her script and can’t deviate from it. She’s a crises actor that Republicans talk about all the time. Projection never ends with these clowns.
She didn’t even know the standard for a subpoena :/ ouchie
Countless is a weird word for something that is very quantifiable
I can’t tell, does she really believe the thing she’s saying or is it performative? Maybe a little from column A and a little from column B?
AG Bondi is a shameful liar and absolutely corrupt, and it’s clear she only represents Trump, not the American people. She’s truly scum of the earth.
Does anything change or happen with these Senate hearings, or is it just Senators yelling at cabinet position holders and then nothing changes?
Where is the 50 grand Homan took, Pam.
We’re in for a V for Vendetta type government. Cant wait ought to be fun.
The way she flipped through that script like a 1980s telemarketer…pathetic
Sure 1000x increase in ICE agent attacks but a 10,000x increase in extrajudicial deportations
Pam Bondi is unable to answer basic questions.
There will be no consequences, no accountability, because Republicans in Congress are spineless supplicants at best and willful collaborators at worst. Trump selectively picked his cabinet not for competence but for *loyalty*. Period. The daily clown show is by design.
They should pull out a big screen and play video of her lies right then.
Reality is not factored in their cult.
If we manage to overthrow the GOP in ’28, the next Dem needs to appoint Jack Smith AG and have him prosecute every single member of 47’s admin. At this point , all of them have committed crimes.
Don’t see how a 1000% increase is possible when there’s only 60 million Americans still alive in the whole country.
Pam Bondi is unable to answer any basic questions.
She knows she CAN answer them but doesn’t have to…just like the rest of her crew.
All the oversight hearings are just theater if no one has the power to hold them accountable.
Of course she can’t but she is known to be in the company of Epstein and Trump as a young teenager …
She should explain her deep rooted loyalty to them and why …
