There's an urban legend that Antoine Lavoisier was asked to communicate by blinking, after the axe. Also in public.

>"Trump’s Top Goon Will Not Escape Epstein Grilling After Axe
>
>Former Attorney General Pam Bondi might be out of the Trump administration, but the pressure over her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files is not going away. After President Donald Trump announced Bondi was out and being replaced by Todd Blanche as acting attorney general, House Democrats said they would not let the axed Trump official off the hook for answering their questions under oath. \[...\]
>
>In a statement on Thursday, House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Robert Garcia said in a statement that Bondi “will not escape accountability and remains legally obligated to appear before our Committee under oath. She must answer for her mishandling of the Epstein files and the special treatment she has given Ghislaine Maxwell,” Garcia said. \[...\]
>
>“Even though she has been fired, she must still answer to Congress about the remaining documents, why there have been no new prosecutions, and why she participated in a cover-up,” said Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna, who helped lead the charge to release the Epstein files after Bondi refused to do so with the passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
>
>In February, Bondi appeared before the House Judiciary Committee for a blockbuster hearing where she was grilled over her handling of the Epstein files and given the chance to apologize to survivors \[...\] Instead, she refused to turn and face the survivors and the families of survivors who were standing just feet away from her in the hearing room." \[...\]

So in February she was "grilled" and nothing happened. Why will this time be any different?

She will be under oath.
That makes lying a federal crime so if something comes out later, she goes to federal prison and next year this administration will be out of power by one way or another so things will come out.
This will be her chance to be the first to testify. I assume she'll pick prison later, but usually you get admission of lesser crimes under oath which leads to new clues to follow.
I think the big take away is why the f*** is the Department of Justice under the Executive branch and not the Judiciary?

She could refuse to testify and nothing would happen. She will lie under oath to protect Trump and the rest of Epstein’s cohorts, assuming she doesn’t just plead the fifth or refuses to show up at all.
Societal laws are not the laws of physics, they have to be enforced by people. So far, nobody with the power of enforcement has exercised it against Donald Trump. Even while Biden was in office.
This is why we’re not living in a real democracy, or even a real country anymore. The law only binds the poor.

Because having the people whose job it is to judge your guilt or innocence also employ the people who are trying to put you in prison is a massive conflict of interest.

I heard the Republicans who are actually chairing the committee already decided the Bondi hearing was unnecessary. Democrats might say whatever they want but they're not in charge. The GOP will want to sweep this under the rug canceling this hearing. They already said the point of the hearing is to question the attorney general but now she's not that anymore. The entire point of removing her before the hearing was to avoid this hearing.

MusicLikeOxygenApr 3, 2026

It's still a smart move on the Democrats part to release this statement. It firmly puts it on the shoulders of the GOP if it's cancelled. Then their message becomes: why is the GOP continuing to cover for pedophiles?

This isn’t court, that’s not a thing. If she admits under oath that she broke laws she can be prosecuted later. So she’s going to lie, deny, and deflect like usual.

You’re right it probably won’t go well. But that only matters if we make it to the point where we **can** hold contempt hearings. It’s much more dangerous for her right now if she goes scorched earth and reveals everything, considering who is president.

You can tell that it's not going to happen by how cordial he was in the announcement. I don't think anyone else got such a lengthy and glowing one.
