RE: Bondi

A few weeks ago, I wrote about Attorney General Pam Bondi’s hearing before a House Oversight Committee, particularly regarding her combative attitude and refusal to answer any questions she didn’t like.

Contempt of Congress

I wrote my representation in Congress on to ask for their opinions on February 17^th, and I would like to take a moment to share the message I sent, and the replies I received from each of Senators Grassley and Ernst, and Representative Nunn.

𝐈 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐥, 𝐛𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭.

Zach Nunn responded first, on March 4^th. Representative Nunn did not mention the Congressional testimony one single time and stated only that he agreed with me that those involved with Epstein need to be held accountable and that transparency is not optional. While I certainly agree there should be transparency, I do not see him fighting to release the rest of the files and, 𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝.

Joni Ernst replied next, on March 10^th. Senator Ernst did mention that some people were unsatisfied with the release of the Epstein files thus far, and stated simply that AG Bondi testified, but 𝐬𝐡𝐞, 𝐭𝐨𝐨, 𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝.

Finally, I received an answer from Chuck Grassley on March 12^th, nearly a month after my inquiry. In line with his peers, 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐆 𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢’𝐬 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐲. He did, however, lean very much into the divisive rhetoric from the White house, stating that the Department of Justice under the Biden Administration was “𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝” and suggested that under Pam Bondi, a “𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐲”.

Please read the responses from our members of Congress here in Iowa and let me know what you think of their “answers”. Let me know what responses you have received, and what questions you have been asking.
