If you watched the U.S. Attorney Pam Bondi contemptuously deflect questions about the Epstein files in a recent hearing, you might have had a strong reaction to it in your nervous system.
That’s what I had – for two scary reasons, one of which can be explained by political science.
In case you’ve missed it, Pam Bondi, the U.S. Attorney General (that is, the Executive branch), was being questioned by the House Judicial Committee (that is, the Legislative branch) about the Department of Justice’s conduct regarding the Epstein files.
Here’s an excerpt from the hearing that stuck with me and that I refer to in my video, which is just below this one.
In my video, I also mention an article I wrote several years ago. You can find it here.
And now, my simple analysis, including one of the things that political science could say about Pam Bondi’s behaviour.
To hear a therapist’s take on how Bondi’s behaviour caters to fascism, watch this video, and follow a brilliant account that produced it.

An Interview on Iran and Israel You Have to See
This is an absolute must-watch: Jeremy Scahill, one of the few journalists who interviews and is trusted by various actors, including the Iranian government, talks to Samir Mohyeddin about the U.S.-Iranian negotiations and Israel’s “fragile ceasefires” in Gaza and Lebanon. It’s a conversation good for our brains and conscience.
