Pam Bondi brought a thick binder to the Judiciary Committee that had Dem's search history of the Epstein files on it.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal
Pam Bondi brought a document to the Judiciary Committee today that had my search history of the Epstein files on it.

The DOJ is spying on members of Congress. It’s a disgrace and I won’t stand for it.


Attorney General Pam Bondi at a House Judiciary Committee hearing seemed to have a printout of Rep. Pramila Jayapal's history of searches of the Department of Justice's database of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Photos of a black binder that Bondi had at the hearing showed the words "Jayapal Pramila Search History" and a list of documents whose numbers coincide with the number of Epstein files.

"It is totally inappropriate and against the separations of powers for the DOJ to surveil us as we search the Epstein files," said the Washington state Democrat Jayapal.

"It is totally inappropriate and against the separations of powers for the DOJ to surveil us as we search the Epstein files," Jayapal wrote.

"Bondi showed up today with a burn book that held a printed search history of exactly what emails I searched," the congresswoman said.

"That is outrageous and I intend to pursue this and stop this spying on members."

...claiming Democratic administrations were spying on them - all now ushered in by this republican administration and basically ignored or encouraged by the republican majority.

I still can't get over having lived through a time where even the hint of a fraction of this would end political careers.
