Today, the AG’s office tried to inform the Oversight Committee that Pam Bondi would not appear for her deposition.

I hope she is ready to face contempt. Otherwise, we look forward to seeing you at your deposition.

AG or not—those responsible will be held accountable. Survivors deserve justice.

1. What's good for the Clintons must be good for Bondi

That is all

[spanone]

2. CONTEMPT! YES!!!

3. Repukes defy Congressional subpoenas without consequence.

Dems comply.

IOKIYAR.

[MLWR]

4. They have six fascist so-called "justices" making it all OK for them to ignore congressional subpoenas.

8. Unfortunately, this is historically accurate.

[AverageOldGuy]

5. So . . .

. . . why not issue a subpeona and when she refuses, send US marshals to drag her sorry ass in for deposition?

[maxsolomon]

7. Congress did issue a subpoena.

Congress cannot dispatch US Marshals.

US Marshals are controlled by the DOJ and the AG.

9. I believe that the House could dispatch the Sargent-at-Arms, but that hasn't been done since the 30s.

6. Thank you Melanie 🩵

[Uncle Joe]

10. What say ye James Comer?

(snip)

The committee's head, Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, enforced subpoenas on Bill and Hillary Clinton this year, making the ex-president and ex-secretary of state, respectively, among the highest-ranking former government officials ever to be subpoenaed by Congress.

11. So another kick the can down the road ploy from the Just Us dept.?

Doesn't she know she got fired?

12. "in her capacity as"

Guessing that wasn't how the subpoena was issued?

CNN is reporting this from Nancy Mace (!)

“Pam Bondi cannot escape accountability simply because she no longer holds the office of Attorney General. Our motion to subpoena Pam Bondi, which was passed by the Oversight Committee, was for Bondi by name, not by title. She will still have to appear before the Oversight Committee for a sworn deposition,” Mace said on X. “The American people deserve answers, and we expect her to appear as soon as a new date is set.”
