You want irony? I’ve got a huge dose of it for you to ponder. It comes via testimony from a sitting U.S. senator from Rhode Island.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democrat, reminded his Senate Judiciary Committee colleagues the other day of the irony committed by AG Pam Bondi in testimony before the panel.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

She had just secured an indictment of former FBI Director Jim Comey on a specious charge that he lied before the committee, committing an act of perjury. The indictment is so flimsy it likely won’t be tried. It was handed over on a total of two pages. That’s it! Comey allegedly lied about who told him what about a pending hearing. It’s pure crap.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Oh, but wait. Bondi then told the same Senate panel that Whitehouse accepted a favor from a donor, a charge that Whitehouse says is “demonstrably false.” He said a first-year law student could have looked up the facts and determined that the favor didn’t occur.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Therefore, Whitehouse said, Bondi committed the very same crime for which Comey has been indicted.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Do we indict the attorney general? If she isn’t above the law … then why not?<\/p>\r\n\n
