“Senator, no one asked me to investigate Liz Cheney, that is a hypothetical,” she stated.

She then turned the tables on Schiff, noting the crime price in California.

“You know what we should be worried about? The crime rate in California is through the roof. Your robberies are 87% higher than the national average,” she stated. “That’s what I want to focus on, senator.”

Schiff stated that Bondi’s solutions recommended she doesn’t have the independence to say “no” to the president. He then requested her if she would inform Trump he misplaced the 2020 election. Bondi accused Schiff of “playing politics” and of leaking Rep. Devin Nunes’ memo.

“What I can tell you is I will never play politics, you’re trying to engage me in a gotcha,” she stated.

Schiff shot again, asking her if she would advise towards blanket pardons by President-elect Trump and suggesting she wouldn’t be capable to take a look at each file on day one.

“You’ll be able to review hundreds of cases on day one. … Of course you won’t,” Schiff stated.

Bondi was livid at Schiff’s feedback.

“I’m not going to mislead this body or you, you were censured by Congress, senator, for comments just like this that are so reckless,” she stated.

The incident was considered one of a lot of sharp exchanges that the previous Florida AG had with Democrat lawmakers. She was requested by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., in regards to the weaponization of the DOJ.

“It would not be appropriate for a prosecutor to start with a name and look for a crime?” Whitehouse stated throughout his line of questioning. “It’s a prosecutor’s job to start with a crime and look for a name. Correct?”

Bondi responded by highlighting the federal authorities’s investigations into Trump.
