Welcome to The Necessary Conversation Midweek Edition. It is me, Chad Colchin, and my magamom,

Mary Lou. Today we are going to be looking at some clips from Pam Bondi's disastrous performance

in the five-hour House Judiciary Committee meeting, her hearing, where she essentially dodged

every question that was asked of her by Democrats and then

answered all of the frivolous questions that Republicans asked about the stock market,

even though this was a hearing about the Epstein files and her DOJ's inability to release these

files without harming the victims and without hiding and protecting pedophiles.

I did see some of it live. I didn't get a watch at all, but I did see some. And there was one

line in there that I really, really liked. When asked about Maxwell, she said she will die in

jail. That was her wish that she would die in jail.

Yeah, but Trump's, I mean, they're already talking about this stuff.

Maxwell has come out and said that she's not going to say anything else unless she gets a pardon.

And she said, if she gets that pardon, she will exonerate Donald Trump.

You think Donald Trump's not going to do that?

I do think Donald Trump will not do that.

He has already said that. In fact, that was my little ditty. Can I start with my ditty?

Sure. Okay. When you went to sleep after the Super Bowl, here's what Trump did while America

slept. He four smacks well before Congress. She refused every question. She refused

every question. Then her lawyer panicked and offered a deal. Clemency for the testimony. A woman

serving 20 years for sex trafficking is so terrified of what Trump is uncovering that she's

begging for a way out.

And he said, no.
