Tell Your Representatives: Get Real Answers from Pam Bondi

We deserve answers

Recently, Pam Bondi, US Attorney General, faced the Senate Judiciary Committee. She should have addressed growing concerns about the weaponization and corruption of the Department of Justice, of which she is the head.

What she actually did was deflect and attack. She refused to answer questions about:

The investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and his ties to elected officials
Border Czar Tom Homan's alleged $50k bribe
The prosecution of former FBI director Comey, including the President's tweet directing it, and the apparently forced resignation of Erik Siebert, the former US attorney in VA who refused to pursue charges against Comey.

She even sidestepped questions about her decision to dismantle the Public Integrity Section of the Department of Justice, which was designed to investigate corruption and stop political interference in criminal investigations involving politicians, federal judges and other public officials.

This isn’t good enough. We are entitled to full and honest answers about how she is using taxpayer resources at the Department of Justice.

Pam Bondi is set to face the House Judiciary Committee when they return from recess. Tell your member of Congress that it’s not enough to ask the hard questions. They need to demand real answers.

Send this letter to your Representative

To my Member of Congress:

I am writing to urge you to demand answers from US Attorney General Pam Bondi when she is in front of the House Judiciary Committee.

The Department of Justice’s mission is to uphold the rule of law, keep our country safe, and protect civil rights. It is not to serve as a weapon for a president’s personal grudges, a tool for intimidation of critics, or to protect the administration’s friends.

I am calling on you and your colleagues to ensure members of the House Judiciary Committee, including the Republican majority, do your jobs, and demand that she answer questions about:

1. The increasing use of the Department of Justice to go after the president’s critics. In particular, this includes the apparently forced resignation of US Attorney Erik Siebert, who refused to indict Comey; the appointment of one of the president’s personal attorneys, Lindsey Halligan, with no prosecutorial experience to replace Siebert; and Halligan’s immediate move to indict Comey.

2. The dismantling of the DOJ’s Public Integrity Section. That unit was designed to investigate corruption and stop political interference in criminal investigations involving politicians, federal judges and other public figures, and yet its staff has been reduced from more than 30 attorneys to just 5 and it no longer has the authority to file new cases.

Why does Pam Bondi want to dismantle guardrails around political interference in criminal investigations, especially at a time when the DOJ is being accused of politicization? And why is it weakening the DOJ’s ability to investigate corruption?

We deserve real answers to real questions, not deflection and hostility.

Please do your duty and demand answers from Pam Bondi.

Sincerely,
