Representative Ted Lieu accused Attorney General Pam Bondi of lying under oath Wednesday, catching the Trump official in a bind after she claimed no evidence existed of young girls at parties attended by the president.

The California lawmaker highlighted that, under Bondi’s direction per a July 2025 memo, the Justice Department had “not uncovered evidence” that warranted investigations against “uncharged third parties.”

He then referred to recently released images of ex-Prince Andrew, depicting the disgraced British royal on all fours, towering over one of Epstein’s victims.

“These two photos staring you in the face are evidence of a crime and are more than enough evidence to predicate an investigation against former Prince Andrew,” Lieu said. “So I ask you, Attorney General Pam Bondi, why did you shut down this investigation last July and why have you not prosecuted former Prince Andrew?”

    The answer to “did [Trump sycophant] lie while under oath?” is always a resounding ‘yes’.

    They keep doing it because they don’t think the rules apply to them, and because there are never any real repercussions.

      The problem is “these people” include 6 corrupt Supreme Court justices. Hard to have any justice if those administering it are corrupt to the core.

        We are in dire need of a drastic change to the way we look at vigilante mob justice in our society at this point. It is literally the only option for actual justice and positive change when the justice system operates under a pay to win rule and the wealth gap is the highest it’s ever been since the gold standard was established.

        Fun fact, the supreme court is only the highest appeal court because they say they are. The constitution actually says they’re a maritime court.

        There’s more to it, but yeah, Congress can legally strip the court of power by establishing a new court.

        The old court would still have the final say in maritime law. But little else.

          The constitution actually says they’re a maritime court.

          IDK that sounds like you’re about to argue, that you don’t need a driver’s license or registration for your car, because you’re not driving, you’re traveling.

          In any case it’s more expedient to approach this matter with torches and pitch forks, than to wait for congress to get their act together. Just remember who’ll appoint replacements for any justice you remove.

      HahahahahahahahhHhhhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahAaaa…ughh…

      Sorry, now I’m sad…

      What we do here in America is Republicans shit all over everything, do whatever they want, and when Democrats take over they pull some “it’s time to look forward, not backward” bullshit, saying shit like “we need unity, we need to heal as a nation.”

      Then they do fuck all about anything and Republicans just act worse the next time because they know there are no repercussions. :(

      We are extremely unlikely to see any justice even if the Democrats are in control of Congress and the White House.

      For decades the Democrats have been unwilling to enforce black letter law no matter what the consequences to the country. Case in point: Trump’s currently sitting in the White House instead of a prison cell because the Democrats lack anything resembling a spine.

      If Trump’s still alive in 3 years the Democrats will almost certainly say “It’s time look forward and not back” and let him and most of his ilk walk away completely unscathed.

        I should have kept reading the comments, I replied to them with almost this exact thing. It sucks how we just know this is how the Democrats are going to act… If they aren’t already declared a terrorist organization by then.

    Not to play the devil’s advocate here, I mean she can damn well pay for her legal representation, but wouldn’t it be really easy to use a “I didn’t know, there’s so much material and I answered to the best of my knowledge”?

    “But the dow is at 50,000 points! 401k’s are doing well!” She tried to fall back on this when being questioned about Epstein. The playbook is getting so stale at this point. Most of the die hard Trump supporter’s don’t even now what the Dow, s&p, or what a 401k even is.
