“There was no integrity in that room today, it seems like, when it came to Epstein and Maxwell,” Teresa Helm said after Wednesday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing.

Six survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse and two members of another accuser’s family said they felt “degraded” during Wednesday’s contentious House Judiciary Committee hearing, at which Attorney General Pam Bondi refused to face them and apologize.

Several Epstein survivors and relatives were on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers grilled Bondi for over five hours about several matters, including the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein case. She was specifically questioned about why released files were heavily redacted and why several survivors’ names were not.

“There was such a lack of empathy today. There was such a lack of, honestly, humanity today,” Dani Bensky said on NBC’s “Hallie Jackson NOW.”

    Thank you. Here’s a good article on Bondi, apparently she once wanted to be a pediatrician, loved kids(!). Then she got pressured into becoming an attorney by her dad. She didn’t want to be a prosecutor but got pressured into that (lady isn’t good at forging her own path I guess). Got good reviews although they said she was easily bowled over by colleagues. Then Trump molds her into the AG position, where she had trouble getting into the nasty spirit.

    This isn’t a sociopath, this is a sad pushover of a person with no backbone who got used until she become a perpetrator. One wonders about her childhood and what abuse she suffered, or why she’s got no self esteem at all.

    That said eventually your actions do dictate the kind of person you are - no matter why she is this way, she’s a pile of garbage now, yes. Pedophile protector, woman hater, nasty wretch of a human.
