Newsmax Host Criticizes Pam Bondi: Questions Career Longevity
In a recent segment on Newsmax, host Carl Higbie criticized Attorney General Pam Bondi following her testimony before the House Judiciary Committee. His remarks centered around doubts about her political future and her handling of high-profile cases like the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
Higbie Questions Bondi’s Career Longevity
During her testimony, Bondi faced intense questioning regarding the release of millions of federal files related to Epstein’s sex trafficking activities. Higbie, who initially supported Bondi, expressed concern after witnessing her performance. He stated, “I don’t know how her political career survives,” highlighting the scrutiny she faced.
Contentious Testimony
Bondi’s testimony included heated exchanges, particularly when responding to lawmakers about the Epstein case. She shifted focus to the current stock market performance, asserting that the health of the economy should take precedence. “The Dow is over $50,000,” Bondi noted, emphasizing the success of the stock market.
- Dow: Over $50,000
- S&P: Almost 7,000
- NASDAQ: Breaking records
Despite her economic arguments, Higbie remained critical of her handling of the Epstein files. He pointed out a significant number of redactions in the FBI 302 forms presented during the hearing, questioning the transparency of the investigation. “Why are hundreds of them fully redacted? This is either a cover-up or it’s incompetence,” he remarked.
Calls for Accountability
Higbie’s critique extended beyond Bondi towards previous administrations. He blamed the Obama and Biden administrations for failing to publicly disclose names tied to Epstein’s crimes. His strong stance places the responsibility of seeking justice on Bondi as the current head of the Department of Justice.
“This is probably the biggest scandal since Watergate,” Higbie observed. He urged for significant action, stating, “I want somebody to go to jail for it.” He believes anyone involved in mishandling the investigation should face consequences, either by losing their job or their license to practice law.
The exchange on Newsmax has sparked discussions about Pam Bondi’s effectiveness as Attorney General and her ability to navigate the complexities surrounding the Epstein case as scrutiny continues to mount.
