The newly appointed U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi sharply criticizes Adam Schiff's unethical impeachment strategies in a forceful address to Congress.
Pamela Jo Bondi, the 87th United States Attorney General and former Attorney General of Florida, delivered a scathing critique of the impeachment proceedings led by House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff.
In a powerful address before Congress, Bondi tore apart Schiff’s management of the process, revealing what she termed unconstitutional actions, partisan manipulation, and a stark dismissal of due process.
Bondi underscored how Schiff and his associates held secretive hearings, excluding key witnesses and preventing agency counsel from attending—actions that, according to legal authorities, infringed upon fundamental constitutional rights.
She noted that the House committee selectively issued subpoenas but failed to enforce them, subsequently demanding that the Senate act on them after neglecting their own responsibilities.
Bondi also directly challenged Schiff’s repeated claims that the White House was involved in a cover-up.
She argued that it was Schiff himself who suppressed vital evidence and obstructed a fair hearing.
According to Bondi, Schiff’s impeachment process was aimed at controlling the narrative instead of searching for the truth, transforming the hearings into a skewed political exercise instead of a legitimate legal inquiry.
The most damaging part of Bondi’s critique focused on the evident conflict of interest involving
Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.
Bondi thoroughly detailed how Hunter, lacking any experience in energy or Ukrainian matters, secured an $83,000-per-month role at Burisma Holdings while his father, then Vice President, was overseeing U.S. policy concerning Ukraine.
She exposed contradictions in the Bidens' statements, revealing how
Joe Biden publicly denied discussing Burisma with his son, even though Hunter admitted to informing his father about it.
Bondi additionally presented evidence indicating that Biden had advocated for the ousting of a Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating Burisma, tying the action to U.S. foreign aid in what seemed to be a blatant abuse of power.
Senators Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, and Lindsey Graham pressed House managers on why these crucial points were overlooked during the impeachment inquiry.
Bondi accused Schiff of intentionally neglecting any examination of the Bidens while actively pursuing Trump, labeling this as a classic instance of political bias and selective justice.
Her speech resonated throughout the chamber, leaving Schiff and his team at a loss for a response.
While Schiff’s impeachment case hinged on claims that Trump coerced Ukraine for personal political advantage, Bondi’s disclosures redirected attention to Schiff’s own role in suppressing vital evidence and manipulating the process.
She contended that if Schiff was genuinely concerned about corruption, he would have investigated the Bidens instead of weaponizing impeachment for political advantage.
Ultimately, Bondi’s sharp critique bolstered the defense’s position, revealing the impeachment effort as one driven by partisanship rather than a legitimate constitutional process.
The Senate ultimately acquitted President Trump, delivering a significant setback to Schiff’s endeavors.
Bondi’s speech stands as a pivotal moment in the trial, a harsh condemnation of Schiff’s tactics, and a defense of constitutional fairness that resonated throughout the nation.
