NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise.

BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned

NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

AG Pam Bondi brought a portfolio of degrading insults before the House Judiciary CommitteeΒ today, butΒ failed toΒ bring evidence, answers, or accountability.

Today’s hearing confirmed that this DOJ protects pedophiles and sex offenders in power, not the American people.

1. BREAKING

In addition to photos, authorities have also released this video from the Nest surveillance camera of Savannah Guthrie’s mom, Nancy Guthrie.

Reminder: Nancy Guthrie reportedly did not have a subscription for her camera system which meant the footage was deleted every three hours.

I think we should all be sharing these new photos of the suspect in the Nancy Guthrie case, Savannah Guthrie’s mom.

This video has important commentary. Maybe someone will recognize a clue and report it.

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

They have now removed the Pride flag from the Stonewall Inn.

Erasure. Just like the Nazis.

My dad has come to an arrangement with the public pool in Nottinghamshire where he swims: after everyone else has got out of the pool, he is permitted to do a somersault before he gets changed. β€œTHEY OPEN UP THE STORAGE CUPBOARD AND LET ME GO IN THERE SO I CAN GET A GOOD RUN-UP,” he said. Last week my dad, who will be seventy in August, got his friend Malcolm, who is seventy-three, to film the somersault. β€œIt’s shattered all his illusions,” my mum told me. β€œUntil he saw the film he thought he was creating poetry in motion. But it’s really just an old bloke who can’t run fast doing a sideways flop.”

How did they redact abusers but not the victims? And they expect us to believe 40 nude photos went unnoticed?

That’s exactly why people think the DOJ did this on purpose, to shame these women for coming forward.

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society.

How is this not supposed to be a β€œright wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.
